THE WRITS FOR HURON.
The writ ordering the electien for
.Northlimort has been received by
the Registrar, .Mr. W. T. Hays.
The nomination has been appointed
for Monday, the 12th inst., and the
palling for Monday; the 19th inst.
The writ for Centre Huron has
also, we believe, been received by
the Sheriff, but tbe days forinomi-
nation and polling have not yet
been named. -
We believe that for South Huron
the Writs bave not as yet been
received by the Returning Officer,
but, as the time is now -getting
short, they may be looked for al-
most any day.
The Campaign in Huron.
CENTRE RIDING.
As will be seen by an address from
Mr. Whitehead, which we publish
elsewhere, that gentleman does not
yet intend retiring from the field.
In open violation of his pledge given
to the Convention he announces his
intention of dig contesting the con-
stituency. We cannot rept d this
proceeding on the part of Mr. White-
head as eithet firudent or honest.
Whatever his chances of securing
sufficient support from the Reform
party to ensure even a probability
of success might have been had he
not boo nd himself by the decision of
the Convention, it is 17101 ally certain
that they are infinitely less now.

The cand dates in the South Rid-
ing have jt't concluded a series of
meetings,-- he last one was held at
Exeter on Tuesaay evening last.
These meet' gs have been satisfactory
in every res ect. They have been
ntimerously attended, and the feel-
ing display;d at each, has demon-
strated the act that the electors of
South Hur.n -are thoroughly dis-
gusted with the manner in which
the affairs o the country have been
.misina.naged by the.present G-avern-
merit for. t e past • five years.

The Geneva Arbitration.
The Swiss Times of the 23rd ult.,
says it is in a position to confirm
th
the report that e tribunal Of arbi-
tration has decided in favor of Am-
erica in the case of privateer Florida,
on the ground that the British Gov-
ernment did not use sufficient pre-
cautions to prevent, the departure of
that vessel from English ports. The
limes also says the Board of Arbi-
tration took up the case of the Ala-
bama. The same paper, giving furth-
er particulars of the proceedings of
the Board of Arbitration, says :--
The Board has disallowed the claims
of the American Government, aris-
ing out of the depredations of the
Boston, Jeff Davis, Music, and
several other snaaller confederate
cruisers, Reasons leading to this
action of the Board are, that charges
of negligence on the part of the
British Government, so ,far as these
vessels are concerned, have. not been
proven.

ability has been amply demonstrat-
ed by the fact that he has held his

own so long amidst the shiftinra

knave fearless and indomitable lead-
'er the better class Of Mexicans could
not have had. He never surrender-
ed to hostile combinations, and un-
der all circumstances was hopeful,
energetic and defiant.
Perhaps, however, his work can
be better carried on by his successor,
the Chief Juatice Tejada, a modest
and judicious Liberal, who is likely
to conciliate all factions of the Re-
peblicans and to restore -peace to the
country. Tejada is friendly to
A Mericans and ko American enter-
prises in Mexico. Under his Presi-
dency we hope in a few years to have
in Mexico a quiet, well -governed,
prosperous and friendly neighbor. It
will not be five years beforelthe city
of Mexico will be united With the
city of Denver, Colorado, bi a nar-

then have a branch in Mexico. New
fields for American adventurers and
capitalists will be opened ,in a land
full of untouched resources. Al] that
is essentiali to these results is •that
Mexieo be redeemed from anarchy.
President Tejada seems to be the
Providential man to effect that.

As many of your readers, are more or
less interested in the doings of the Re-
formers ,of South Perth, I will endeavor
to keep • you posted .on the situation of
parties here until election is over. You
are aware that up to Friday, the, 26th

la.ntine's formal roignation, anal to select
anothei• to accent the position who
would to satisfaaory to all parties
It having been strongly asserted by
the Conservative party that Mr. Trow
had made overtures to their leaders to
come out on the " independent" ticket,
and some of the baser sort of loose -fish
Conservatives—men who are stingere
to principle—having gone so far as to as-
sert that Mr. TrOW'S lOttOria Mild, be pro -
&iced in proof of these assertions'many
of that gentleman's friem:s were led to
-belieVe that he bad abandoned the par-
ty. It is true Mr. Trow had a, right, as
one who had done battle in the Reform
cause to expect that he wouli have been
afforded an opportunity of making, ex-
planations. But as the Southern wing
of the party had strong objections to
Mr. Trow, as he resided out:nde of the
Riding, many of his friends dreaded
widening the seeming breach between
the North and the South by calling upon
Mr. Trow to standinstead of Mr. Bal-
lantine, and therefore, up to Wednes-
day, the 24th, all was an uncertainty.
On that date, Mr. Trow, having leanicd
of the false rumors put in circulation by
the Advocate and its sattclites, he niet
his friends in Stratford. and Mitchell, and
gave an emphatic contradiction to all the
charges ot inconsistency which had been
brought a,gaini3t him, although he plead-
ed guilty to the eha.rge of being willing

irrespective of party. He called ou the
publishers of the Advocate and chal-
lenged proof of any advances on his part
to the Conservative party, although he
could show that he had been !host earn-
estly importuned to accept the honor of
representing thezn, and had been tender-
ed the most flattering assurances of sup-
port if he would fall into their arms. His
bold defence aud the humiliating acknowe
ledgement having been extorted from the
,.4dvocate that their statements were
false. gave entire satisfa.ction to the par-
ty, and accordingly when the delegates
from the several municipalities met at
St. Marys on the 26th, Mr. Trow receiv-
ed a most flattering reception, and the
unanimous vote of the convention. Mr.
Trow goes before the electors as an out
and out Reformer, and I think, with ex-
cellent prospects of success. He has en-
tered vigorously on the canvass; and will
be able to give satisfactory explanations
to all parties este his fidelity to the Re-
form cause.
A word about his opponent, Mr. Kidd.
We think Mr. Kidd has been most egre-
giouslyttluped into his presentposition
a positron for which he certainly must
feel his utter unfitness. As he is by no
means qualified for a public speaker, al-
though als°a business man he commands
the respect of all parties, yet he is well
known to be a man who has never given
his attention to politics, and will, if elec-
ted be entirely out of his element. In-
deed there can be no doubt his " Medi-
cine Man" who is ventilating his elo-
quence, professedly in Mr. Kidd's inter-
est, has the strongest possible aspira-
tions to a seat in Parliament Ithnself, but
unfortunately his merits have not yet
become known, and lie is introducing
himself to the public under the guise of
friendship to Mr. Kidd, any other than
whom he could not consent to have run
at present, as he and his friends believe,
- ether they can elect Mr. Kidd orsnot,
INhorth and South Perth with the Conser-
can assure the Cathelic vote in both

ug a faint show of respect for the Cath-
olie body, by sacrificing Mr, Ridd in or-
der to savethe Doctor from political
marteerclom at the present juncture.

Cameron. a,nci Greenway on t
Stump at 2.7,unch.
To the Editor of the Huron, Expositor.
Hearing that the rival candidates f
the suffrages of the people of Sou
Huron, to represent them in t
House of Commons, were to hold for
in Zurich on Monday evening last,
wended my -way to the place appointe
to see the sights, hear the news, and.g
posted up.
There was a very large gathering
the electors indeed, the,1arge commod
ens Town Hall of Hay being crowded a
most to suffocation. Messrs. Camero
and Greenway, the former accompanie
by his friend in politics and law, iT.S
Sinclair, Esq:, and the latter by his pa
ron, forerunner and mister, the jolly
looking Isaac Carling, Esq., of Exeter
put in an appearonce at the hour name
and took. their places on the platform i
the hall.
There appeared. to be some whisperin
and manceuvering between Messrs
Greenway and Carling, apparently, as t
getting material for a chairman, but i
ended in Robt. Brown, Esq., the worth
Reeve of Ray, taking the chair. To sa
the least, it was rather strange that suc
a staunch,- determined. Reformer as Mr
Brown should consent to preside at a
Tory meeting called. by Mr. Greenway—
it must either have been for fun or for
pity's sake. ; however the meeting was
called to order, ancl Mr. Greenway open-
ed the ball.

heard that Mr. Greenway was rather a
clever speaker, that he was enIerahlavd
well posted on his subject, and lad. taken
a high stand as a. debater in the County
Council. If this is true, 'then he did\
himself great injustice pat Monday
ni)-ht, for aftet listening patiently and.
.
ulgently to his oration taking up
over on hour, I must say that I never
heard a more illogical, rambling piece of
bombast in my life. At one tirae he -was
an Independent, would support good
measures, and vote against bad ones, no
tuatter where they emanated frora, could
not altogether _approve of neither the
route nor plan of construction of the In-
tercolomal Railway, although he p,alliat-
ed it ° all be could ; condemned sorae of
the clauses of the Washington Treaty
and defended others, and. blamed the
Home Government for sacrificing Cana-
dian interests, but dared not put his
finger down upon the head of his master,
John A: who was the man that did the
sacrifictUg, and perhaps for a considera-
tion not yet known to the world. He
touched but lightly upon the great In-
ter -Pacific Railway. and tried to console
us all by saying that it would he built,
and cost Canada but a mere trifle. The
most of his speech was taken up with
complaints aboat little stories people
were telling about him, and in trying to
niake points against Cameron for non-
attendance to his Parliamentary duties,
and, wound up by appealing to the elec-
tors to send him down to support the
heaven -bona GoYenalnent, that had
given us such peace, plenty and pros-
perity, and had. spread our wings from

gram way, indeed, if thou expects the
people of South Huron V) swallow such
a, mixture. - Sonne half-dozen bladp.e, from
Exeter, a few -from Stephen, and two from
tho village of Zurich applauded Mr:
Greenway to the echo wheal they thonglaa
he made a point, but poor fellows, if
they are consistent Tones at all, they
are not very ,discriminating as to points,
for they applauded when they should
have groa,ned, or left the hall for very
shaatte. The great ina.ss of Reformers
who composed the meeting gave
Grcenway a quiet and patient hearing.
Mr. Cameron, who complained of old
and sore throat., tookupabout an hour
in reply. As usual iic was terse, argn.1
mentative and logical.. Like his eta
ponent, he claimed -that he would portgood measures, no matter where they
came from; but, unlike him, he claimed
and. gloried in the fact that he nOw and
had ever belonged to the great Liberal
Party of Canada. Perhaps it would have
been more pleasing to the more advanced
Members of the party if he had equarely
saiti he would, if returned, vote on every
legitimate occasion, no confidence in the
Maccionald-Cartier Government. but I
think they have got nearly an equivalent
to that, in his adherence to the party.
He pleaded guilty to a certain extent to
the chaxste of not having been as often in
his place in the House as he should have
been, but showed also, very satisfactorily
that in many instances his absence was
quite excusable, and promised that in
future, as his business was m a different
shape, he could and would be more at-
tentive. He showed up the extravagance
of the present Government of the Denali'.
ion, and. that to keep office was the be-
ginning and ending of their legielative
scheming, thatto thiswaaattributable the
long and costly route of the Intercolonial
Railroad, the violation of the constitutio11
in the matter of the Nova Scotia subsidy,
the harboring of such creatures as Col.
Gray, Walsh and others, the programme
of the grand but mad future Pacific Rail-
road, and itt short, that even the sacris
fices of the Washington Treaty were to
get mors money to speneLand enable them
t� keep their places. As a Reformer,
and.dead against extravagance and cor-
ruption in any form, Mr. Cameron asked _
their suffrages. and as one who hadnever
given a vote against the principles of the
great Reform party, or against the best
interests of Canada in general, and the
people of Sonth Huron in particular, he
claimed their votes. He rammed his seat
amidst a perfect storni of applause.
Calls were then made for Mr. Shaelaiie
and that gentleman rose to address the
meeting. Ma Greenway objected to
this, upon the grounds that a non-resid-
ent and a lawyer had no right to speak at
the meeting, and had he been aware of
stich a thing, he -could have had a lawyer
to repla, to him.- -However, as there were
still calls for Sinclair, Mr. Greenway
gave way, and Mr. Sinelair opened his
battery. As usual, he commenced sharp,
biting and personal, so 'much so that :Air:
Greenway's Iambs could not stand it,
and bleated so continueusly and furiously
that Mr. Sinclair had to subside. It is
not for me tosay whether or not it was
in the very best of taste for anothengen-
tleman to interfere, 'seeing that there was
only one to one at the duel; but of one
thing I am sure, there was no necessity,
for Cameron, single handed, is able for 20
sueh opponents as he had on Monday
night. Mr. Sinclair's last remarks were
lost in an uproar of noisy, personal alter-
cation round the table on the platform.
Not being interested in such, your cor-
respondent left for other parts.
