• Ct./entre Huron.
Of the contest in Centre Huron
we need say but little. It termin-
ated as every person,—except per-
haps Mr. Whitehead, ----fully expect-
ed it would. Mr. llorton's majori-
ty was not so large as it should have
been, or would have been, were it
not for the fact• that a very large
number of votes were unpolled.
There were two reasons for this:
In the first place, the *election was
held in the very busiest seasort of the
year, and many farmers could not be
induced to leave their harvest -fields
to attend t° polling their votes, and
in the second place, Mr. Ho/ on was
in the field too short a time to per-
mit of anything like a close canvass
of the Aiding being enade. There
was also a lack Of thorough organi•
zetion. Notwithstanding all these
• drawbacks, however, the majority
was sufficiently large to prove to the
world that the electors of Centre
Huron desire no man as their repre-
sentative who will not come out
boldly and fearlessly in opposition
to the present Government. The
following is a correct statenaent of
the rota ns from each municipalty

Sou h Huron,
In this con tituency the battle
was a severe ape. Every inch of
ground_ was corkested most strenu-•
ously.A thorough personal canvass
•
was made by both candidates, and
the result may fairly be considered
a victory of principle. The acts of
• the Government were fairly and
• fully discussed before the constitu-
ents by the candidates, and they
have been fairly and unqualifiedly,
condemned. In every municipality,
except Goderich Township, the Re-
• form vote was very materially in-
creased. But in the township of
Hay was this increase the most not-
able,—rolling up as it did -a majority
of 241 for Mr. Cameron. This
• township is now justly entitled to
the distinction of being called the
Banner Reforra township of the
County of Huron. Stephen, also,
did well. On account of Mr.
Greenway being a resident of that
township, and having rept esen ted
it in the County Council for years,
by the almost unanimous votce of
the people, it was generally expect-
ed that he would have a very much
larger .inajority than 64. The result,
therefore, shows that although the
people of Stephen almost unanim-
onsly approve of Mr. Greenway's
• course in the CoUnty Council; they
cannot approve of his conduct in
coming forward as an apologist for
Sir john, and a thiek and thin sup-
• porter of the policy of the Govern-
ment. • In the townships ef Usborno
and Stanley, there is also a grati-
fying Opposition gain. At the out-
set Mr. Greenwayl had many ad-
vantages in his favor, and his defeat
can only be ascribed to the decided
stand he took in favor of the corrupt
Government of Sirjohri A. Macilon-
Had he been elected he would
be a supporter of that Government,
and would do all in his power to re-
tain them longer in office. For this
reason, and tor this alone, we rejoice
that he has been defeated. • The fol-
lowing is a correct statement of the
•vote in each municipality :
Cameron. Greenway.

Sotith Perth.
Mr. James Trow, the Opposition
-candidate in South Perth, has been
elected by a majority of over thiee
hundred. His majority was much
!larger than even his most sanguine
friends anticipated. In this contest
Mr. Kidd and his friends have been
• taught a lesson which, we hope, will
be of service to them in the future.
At the commencement of the cam-
paign, we toot occasion to warn
them against the- company with
which they were about to .associate.
We knew that the very parties who
Were mainly instrumental in bring-
ing Mr Kidd f rward cared nothing
for him furthe than they could use
him as a tool t advance their own
interests. Th result has proven
this beyond a d ubt. Mr. Kidd has
been sold, shan efully Md. He was
brought out, ot with a view of
electing him f r° South Perth, but
for the purpo e of splitting the
Catholic vote i North Perth, and
thus securing he election of Mr.
Daly at the e pense of Mr. Kidd.
This object has been accomplish-
ed and the wire -puller are sat-
isfied. The 4onservatve party
of South Pe th did not want

through their leaders, gave him
a sufficient sho of sepport to en -

etre sorry for Mr. Kidd. - As ,we have
already , said, h is a gentleman
worthy Of Ithe ighest respect, but
he has only him elf to blame for the
position be now occupies. He has

ed himself for p rliamentary honors
Jong enough, to e. aware that they
were not suitaele allies for him,'
arid he should have looked upon
their new-born Fove for him with
suspicion. How ver, we all often,
learn our most seful lessons from
experience, and e feel confident that
Mr. Kidd's expe ience of his new-
found Conserved e friends in outli'
Perth is such as ot to impress him
very favorably w th them.
Defeat of Sir C eorge Cartier.
Many of our r aders will be pleas-
ed to learn of the defeat on Wednes-
day last, of Sir qe�rge E. Cartier,
in Montreal "Eas His opponent,
a Mr. Jette, has een elected by a
handsome majority. This is the
heaviest blow the IDominion Govern-
ment has yet rec ived, and rs one

That Montreal sho lel thus forcibly

an unlooked for an uuexpected oc-

the constituencies in Montreal was
so manipulated by the Government
as to render Mr. Csrtier's seat,—as
they thought—secu e. Yet, notwith-
standing this, he h s been defeated
in his own strongho d, by an almost
•
unknown man, wh had no public
record to recomuund him to the
electors except -his a owed opposition
to the Government. As the nomi-

Mr. Fawcett, who is one of our
most rising men irt Parrliament, ac-
complished two or three days ago
what may fairly be, called a remark-
able, perhaps, even, an extraprdin-
ary feat. He spoke on the subject
of the government of our Lathan
Empire, in reply to the speech of
Air. Grant Duff, the Under Secret-
ary of State for India --spoke for
nearly four hours, introducing masses
of figures and long eitations from of-
ficial documents into his speech,
o making it in fact a great and ex -
as hau.stive ' statistical' argument ; ,and
all this, Of course, without a note or
meniorandum of any kind to assist
him, for Mr. Fawcett is blind. I
heard the speech, and it was as fluent
itt deliyery, as close and symmetri-
cal in argument, as exact in its ar-
ray of figures and quotations as
though it were read frotn a book.
Not once did the speaker stumble
in a sentence or go back to set right
an inaccurate figure: I think this
was a performance which may al-
-most be called unparalleled. Few
men in the House Messed with the
full use of all their senses could have
accomplished as alio blind man
did. Mr. Fawcett is decidedly mak-
ing a remarkable way in Parlia-
ment. Personally his privation
seems to trouble him but little. He
is as full of healthy animal spirits
as a schoolboy, and he delights in all
manly exercises. He is fond of
fishing, and even of skating; the
latter amusement he ontrives to en-
joy by holding the end of a stick,
while some companion of equal skill
on the ice laolds -the other ; and thus
the thing can be safely done. Mr.
Fawcett's infirmity naturally leads
him into awkward predicaments
sometimes. In a London club one
night when Mr. Faweett was pres-
ent the name of a certain wealthy
member of Parliament was mention-
ed. Let us call him Mr. Thomas
Penner. "Torn Partner" exclaimed
Fawcett, in his loud cheery voice,
"is a good fellow, but he is the
I;nont ignorant man in the House of
Commons!" The listeners were re-
duced to utter and horrified silence,
for Mr. Penner himself had just en-
tered the reom in time to hear this
panegyric.--Rngiish, etter.

Electoral Fraud in Peterboro.
Dr. Geo. Burnham, the returning
officer for West Peterboro, has
turned William Cluxton as duly
elected, notwithstanding Mr. Bert -
ram's majority of forty. The re-
turning officer at. the nomination de-
manded Mr. Cluxton's qualification,
but that gentleman not having it
ready, no demand was made on Mr.
Bertrarn, Mr. Bertram, however,
voluntarily put in his qualification
on the second day after the election,
three days before the ' return to the
Clerk of the Crown in Chancery.
The returning officer alleges his de-
mand was a, general one, although
not directed to nor heard by Mr.
Bertram. Mr. Burnham'e bonduct
throughout has been of the most par-
tisan character, but his closing act
has elicited the disgust of all res-
pectable Conservatives. It is thought
Mr. Cluxton has too much relf-res-
pect to lend himself to this disgrace-
ful transaction.
A LANDLORD'S CHARACTER. Ati
honest, thrifty, well-to-do German
applied to a wealthy landlord who
rents a great many houses. "The
house isto let," "certainly," said the
owner, "and if on inquiry, I finct
you to be a responsible and suitable
man for a tenant, you shall have it."
"Vera goot, Mr. you makes
just as many questions as you mind.
takes the house when you gets
ready." Two days afterward the
house -owner called upon the Ger-
man. "Well," he said "I've iuquired
pretty generally respecting your
character and means, and as every-
body speaks of you as an honest,
respectable Man of abundant proper-
ty, you can have the house." "Vell
den," said Hans, "I takes the house.
And 1 wants to tell you I've asked
all about you among the peoples, and
dey all say that you is de meanest
landlort in de town. But I takes de
house all de same."
A NEGRO'S ARGUMENT. —Art old
negro named Pete was very much
troubled about his sins. Perceiving
him one day with very downcast
look; his master asked him •the
cause. "Oh I massa, I'm such a great
sinner !" "But, Pete," said his mas-
ter, "you are foolish to take it so
much to heart. You never see Inc
troubled about my sins." "I know
de reaeon, massa," said Pete, "when
you go out duck -shooting, and kill
one duck and wound anoder, don't
pltit run after de wounded- duck?'
"Yes Pete;" and the master -wonder-
ed what was coming next. "Well,
'nesse'dat is de way wid you and
rue. De detail has got you sure;
bet, as he am nob sure of me, he
chases dis chile all de time."

THE MARKETS.
• SEAFORTH, August 29, 1872.
There is as yet ball ttl e do ing on the S ea -
forth market Although a considerable
amount of grain has been threshed, there
has not as yet been much brought for-
ward. For the past week there has been
•on an average, about four loads of wheat
per day on the market. There has as
• yet been but one load of new oats, no
peas, and Veey little bailey. Prices are
firm' and not tau eh changed from last
week. The buyers seem anxious to
buy, however, at pre.sent rates, and. farm-
ers have no difficulty of disposing of any
kinds of grain at the quoted prices.
There has been an unusual amount of
fruit in the market this season. Plums
and apples seem especially plentiful, al-
though sellers generally seem to get
ready sale for all that is brought in. The
butter market does not seem to improve
mach. Eggs, are eagerly sought afters
and will be readily bought at quoted.

TORONTO, August 29, 1872.
The market -remains in a lifeless con-
ditiott froni. the absence of stocks, there
having been to -day no transaction re-
ported beyond. the sale of one car of No.
• 2. Oats at 35c. on the track, and one
ear at 36c. There was little or no
change in English or American markets,
but in. Montreal flour was quoted rather
firmer. Here quotations are almost en-
• tirely nominal itt the absence of business.
Wheat would sell at recent -figures for a
round lot of white, but it is only offering
in car lots, which at present are a rather
heavy sale. The deliveries from farmers
of new wheat are -very trivial as yet. • A.
load of white yesterday brought $1 35
for a good sample, and to -day $1 SO was
paid for white, and $1 20 for Treadwell.
There Virafs nothing doing in old Barley.
A lead of new was taken off the street at
65c. This sample is the best we have yet
seen, and is nearly' equal.to the quality
oft last season. Oats are offering at 39e
f.o.b. cars for No. 1, and at 38e. on the
track, but we do not hear of any transac-
• tions an this grade.
