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. A man who will one day solemnly pledge himself to a certain course., iind fess may be cer dge ga.) on. TI any too large, and in.iy,the mere tri anal the very next day turn ro .and deliberately violate that ple is certainly not a safe man for constituency to repose confidence The reasons he gives for doing t too, are futile and without the sli est semblance of truth or reason support them. He claims that C011Vertti0/1 was not properly c stituted, and that he was not fai treated by the Convention. H • he can sustain these charges we at a. loss to know. In the first pla the Convention was properly c stituted, and was as fair a repres -Lesion of the Reformers of the c stituency as could be go, or as e - composed a Convention. in the s and place, Mr. Whitehead was tre Gld by the Convention in precis the same manner as were the oth candidates, with;the eXception th on the division he only received t votes, whereas the other canclidat received many. The fact of t matter is, however, that Mr. Whi head has no, juit cause for complain and these charges are merely trum ed up to afford him a pretext f remaining in the field. That .he w be taught by the result at the cen- therefore be oves his friends to leave ne stone untamed to secure his elec- tion by -sue a majority as will appal brs oppone its, and prevent them from ever n future setting up a futile eppo Wm merely fot oppos- ition's sake. s 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. They are de ireus of a chaege, and are determi ecl to send no marl to Parliameet s their representative wbo milli Assist in continuing this Government n power.

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. Mexico. The death of Benito Juarez, the President of the Mexican Republic, is an dvent of, considerable interest For many years joarez has repre- sented and led in Mexico the ele- ment that was friendly to the 'Unit- ed States and whose tendencies %vere towarh d ((ermine Republicanism, re- form and material progress. • His ability has been amply demonstrat- ed by the fact that he has held his g own so long amidst the shiftinra quicksands of Alexican politics. A 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- row guage road now rapialv con- strticting. The Texas Pacific will 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. South Perth. A convention of Reformers, of the south ridieg of Perth, was held at St. Marys on Saturday last. It was rendered necessary, in consequence of Mr. Ballantyne, the recent: 6 nominee declining to aecept. Forty- six out of 49 delegates answered to their names, andafter a full and eminently harmonious discussion of the political- situation, Mr. James Trow, of Shakespeare, was nominat- ed No other candidate offered in op- position, and 3,8 out of the 46 dcle.; (rates voted for him.

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 allswas a mystery as to who should bear the Reform standard. Persons -who" could comma,nd the confidence of the party had personal objections to enter contest while sectional jealousies eluded- the pessibility of unanimity ction. Although • all sections e a cordial stIpport to Mr. Thomas Ballen- , yet, when it became known that he had strong objections to accepting the position, Southern men were willing to advance their claims with a consideral I clegr ee of firmness. It therefore became A dispatch froiu the city of Mex- the nece ssarer to call another Convention, for two -fold. object of receiving Mr. Bal- 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 tocoto uteshipspoprtolit;odni lopponerstitsresb,x agreeing j, 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 vative party, by theartful dodge of mak- 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. • • Vaisrott. ess- 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. I have neither time nor inclination -to attempt a, report of the speeches made— a brief revievv nmet suffice. 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 he or th he th d, et - of 1- 11 t- 11 • 0 the Atlantic to the Pacific, and took all the credit to the Conservative party for having inaugurated and carried out to fuil oonieletion the great echeme of Co. federation. Ah 1 Mr. Greenway, thou art en a 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.
