A Glorious Victory. ,
On Monday last, the electors of
North Norfolk did good service to
the Opposition cause in defeating
Ma Aquilla Walsh, one of the In-
tercoloinal Railway Commissioners. ,
The battle was hot, but the victory I
was glorious. Mr. Walsh has re

very properly relieved him of his

cluded, that Mr. Walsh could not

Walsh's position in North No?. folk
has, heretofore, been considered al-
most impregnable. He is an old
resident of the constituency, with a
large family connection, and withal
possessed of ample means. But,
notwithstanding all this, he has been
ignominiously rejected, and his de-
feat can only be laid to the subser-
vient support he has accorded to a
corrupt Government, and too his ac-
cepting the double position of Par-
hansentary representative and Gov- •
ernment servant. The exarnpleteet
by the electors of North. Node&
should sbe closely followed by those
of every constitnency whose repres-

The Seaforth Convention.
We learn- that the sole and only
excuse g,iven by Ma Whitehead in
his: canvass for violating his solemn
b,
'pledge given at the' late Reform
Conventiou held'at Seaforth, is that
be was unjustly treated by that
Convention. Following up this as-
sumption Hullett correspondent of T
the Clinton New _Era, makes the fol- t
lowing rather extraordinary state- t
ment :
“Mr. Horton is not -the nominee a t

of a few that held a caucus the evening' P
before. Well might Mr. Whitehead. say p
that he was deceived and betrayed at a
that Convention. He went there per- d
fectly ignorant of what was going on, ex:
pecting that he was going to meet a fair w
and. square reception, but what did he
meet? the greatest treachery and. decait..'.'
The above is simply, untrue. The
Convention comprised as fair a re-
presentation of the Reformers of the
Riding as ever composed -a conven-
tion in the County. In proof of
thie we may say, thet at the conclu-
sion, Mr. Whitehead expressed him- si
self satisfied with the result; and oN
voluntarily promised to alit& by the th
decision given. If another Con.vern in
tion were held to -morrow, Mr, dis
Whitehead would not even receive la
a single vote, and would fare worse he
than he didiat the last In feet, it he
was a frtend and upporter of Mr. fai

• South Huron.
The nomin tion for South Huron
will be held at Varna on Friday
oext, the .16t inst., and the polling
on the 23rd,, the following Friday.
It will be no iced that these are the
same days as hose appointed for the
nomination and polling in Centre
Huron. The tilife is now short, and
every moment between this and the
23rd should be employed by the
friends of the Opposition to secure
for their candidate such a victory as
will convince Sir John Macdonald
and his minions that tffeir base
triekery, as disiTlayed by the division
of the Countyeis not appreciated by
the honest yeomanly of SouthHur-
on. This can, and we believe will,
be accomplished; With the noble
example set by North INTorfolk to
encourage them, we believe the Re-
formers of South Huron will -con-
tinue to push forward tlie work
bravely, and never halt-to'lciok back
until they arrive first at the win- I
ning post.

people. Mr{ Ross, his opponent,
declared from the beginning that if
to insure his return to Parliament
violence had to be used, he would
resign. Catiehon knowing this urg-

Horrors of the Spanish Prisons.
The details depicting the horrors
of these places here would occapy. -
;Much more spaee than is.ellated me
in your columns, were they not, in-
deed, too revolting to be narrated.
Imagine, low, long, dark, narrow
hall e crowded past excess with liv-
ing,t restless- masses of Immanity,
perSionating crime, Sorrow, remorse,
revenge, despair and doubt, without
any one iedeeming element of re-
demietien, reform. or reoeneration.
Imagine that each one ofthese half -
nal*, hungry hnman beings is in a .
stat4 of filthiness inconceivable, in-
fested with every possible variety of
verMin, since baths are unknown in
suchi regions, and wash -basins as
well. Imagine that the only admo-
nitions ever addreesed to the crimin-
als are the orders of the overseers,
accompanied by threats, oaths, in-
sults anch blows, security, from re-
taliation being made sure by the re-
volvers With 'which the gaolers are
aimed, and the constant presence of
a detachment of military force. Im-
agine the fetid emanations from
such a place, the -constant brawls of
the prisoners, the shouts of the over-
seers, and the deafening clanking of
the immense chains with which many
are loaded, and some faint idea will ,
be formed of the interior of a Span_
ish prison.—Cor. London Re7to.
