ing succe sfully. By an act passed
in the la t hessi n of Parliament,
Englandherself, enerally so slow to

customs, adopted the Ballot system
of voting. The fi -st election in Eng-
land, und r the- n w law, took place

FRIDAY, SEPT. 6; 1872.
A Reneedy for Electoral Cor-
ruption.
It is generally admitted by both
Liberals and Conservatives that the
elections which have just closed
were the most corrupt which have
ever been held in Canada. We are.
quite safe in saying that there has
not been a closely contested election
in Ontario, dming, the late contest,
where the most uniblushing bribery
was not used to procure votes. If
one half of the Members elected do
not have their returns protested, on

tions being over, who so likely
sell his principles or his convictio
as the man who purchased his w
into Parliament? He bought
Nposition-why should he not sell
or use it, to make the most of h
bargain ?
In view of this condition of affairs,
the question, whether something can-
not be done to remedy it, must force
itself upon every patriotic citizen.
Certainly, the Dominion election
law is an extremely bad one, and
the expense of a controverted elec-
tion and the diffi culty of obtainingim-
e partial judgment are the greatest
possible encouragenient to the prac-
`
tice of bribery and eorruption. But
even with a good election law, and
•with the dfficulties attending con-
troverted elections removed, we
believe the country would still be
very far from having purity of elec-
tions. The Ontario election law is
.as stringent and effective as any law
- that could be devised, yet at the
elections last year for the Local
Legislature, it -is well known that
in many constituencies, the most un-
blushing bribery pre, ailed, and in
several cases we know of the only
reason that the successful candidate"s
election was not protested, was that
the same meanslshad been employed
by both sides in the contest.
Something more radical than a
stringent election lave is called for,
in order to secure purity of elections.
Nothing less than an entire change of
the system of voting will effect the
desired result. The system of open
voting has been tried and found
wanting, let the system of secret
voting be now adopted, and the
practice of bribery and intimidation
at elections will be at an end. We
believe that in the adoption of the
Ballot lies the only remedy for the
corr-uption which has overspread the
-country, and which has become so
prevalent that a fair election can
hardly be obtained in any' constitu-
ency. The Ballot will not make
candidates too honorable to offer a
bribe, nor will it make electors too
honest to accept one, but it will re-
move from candidates the object of
bribery, and thus secure the elector
from the danger of temptation.
The object of a bribe is to secure a,

The Finance Mi • ister Saved.
After diliglent sea ch, sundry re-
buffs and nany eapipointtnents,
Sir Francis Hincks has at length
succeeded in getting a constituency
to elect hitter -and ti at, too, by ac-
clamation. And wh re,_ think you,
gentle reader, is tha constituency ?
In the remote clime of Vancouver
Island, a bleseed s ot, which the
Finance Minister h s never seen,
and in all probability never will see,
for if he were to mak a pilgrimage
thither, his thread of life would be
worn through ere h could return
again. It seems th t this district
of Vancouver Island containing as
it does about 6,000 white people,
men, women lnd chi dren, all told,
is divided into three districts, and
each district is entitled to send a
representative o the (minion Pat-
liainent. Sit 1Franci , then, has
been elected for the most remote
and least populous df these. The
district which Our. Finance Minister
hae now the prdud distinction to rep-
resent contains aboutli six hundred
souls, fivehundred of whom are na-
tives, and in .an uncivilized state
the remaining hundr d only being •
whites. Of thiS hund ed, some six-
teen are elector ; so t at, Sir Fran-
cis flincks, Finalice Wnister of the
Dominion of Canada, asiseen elect-
ed by acclamation by division con-
taining but • sxteen constituent,
none of whom have e er seen him,
and in all probability ever will see
him. This is cettainly n honorable
position for a inance Minister cf
Sir Francis' pr tension to occupy.
Just fancy, on faurt -part of one
of the meanest, poor t and least
populous school ection the Pro-
vince of Ontari havi g a live Fi-
nance Minister or a P rliamentary
representative a 1 to i self. What

• During the last fortnight of July the

•that straw blight was the cause of the

rapid change of color. The parasitical
fungus, fostered by rains and fixing on
the stems, prevents the circulation of the
sap, and hence the grain deadens, not
ripens, and the kernel is only half ex-
panded. White I wheats have suffered
most from the bl‘ht.
Like last yeard the best wheat crops
are on light or Walley soils, and the worst
crops on heavy soils. On the former the
yield will be nearly average, and ethe
samples of moderate quality; but the
area of wheat on such soils is very limit-
ed. Of the latter the yield will be
variable, but generally very short. In
what I have seen threshed out, the yield
in every case has fallen short ef the field
estimate.
Taking
the wheat crop generally, I
consider that the breadth is greatly under
average, and. estimate the yield at 24
bushels per acre, or six bushels below
average ; the quality inferior, condition

O, Opposition; M., Ministerial; L,
Independent.
THE CONTRAST between the recep-
tion accorded to the leaders of the
Opposition in the late election, and
that of the Cabinet Ministers, must
be rather discouraging to the latter.
Mr. Mackenzie was returned by
over six. hundred, but Sir John
Macdonald found his majority
whittled down to little more than
one hundred. Mr. Blake is elected
by acclamation for , two constituen-
cies, while Hincks, defeated in On
tario, is forced to fly to British
Columbia. Mr. • Dorion elected,
though absent &rn the country,
while poor Cartier stands beaten by
mere than a thousand.
THE ELECTION for State officers in
Maine takes place on Monday next,
Sept. 5. That State has for several
weeks been the scene of a vigorous
canvass, and the result is looked to
with great expectancy. The pros-
pects of Mr. Greeley seem to be-
come less bright as the time goes on.
A split -off from the Democratic
ranks has taken place, and a Con
vention in is interest held in Louis
ville, which, by this time, has doubt-
less nominated a candidate. This
will undoubtedly, detract from Mr.
Greeley's Democratic following.
IT seems that Monsieur Louis
Riel has emerged from his obscur-
ity, and has once more entered pub-
lic life. We now find him aspiring
to Parliamentary honors. He has
become a candidate for the constitu-
ency of Provenchere a French Rid-
ing in Manitoba, in opposition'to ex -
Attorney -General Claeka - it is also
said that he is almost certain of elec
tion, as the half-breeds look on him
with much more favor than his op-
ponent. " How is this for high ?"
Won't it be nice to see some of the
loyal supporters of the Govern-
ment sitting side by side in Parlia-
ment with Louis Riel, M. P., the
"murderer of Thomas Scott," and
addressing- him as " my • honorable
friend ?"
NEWS OF THE WEE.
Lord Granville has/by command
of the Queen, sent aletter to Mr.
Stanley, expressing Her Majesty's
"appreciation of the prudence and
zeal which he displayed" in opening
up communication with Dr. Living-
stone.. Accompanying the letter was
a magnificent snuff-box set with -
brilliants, from Her Majesty to Mr.
Stanley.
New York, until a week or so
ago, rejoiced in a policeman who
was wont to employ his spare mo-
ments in committing burglarie. He
got through seventeen of them before
he was suspected, watched and
caught. Of course the New York-
ers were in a sort of panic when the
facts of the case were made known,
as to have burglars for their mid-
night guardians has a most unpleas-
ant lookout.
An Egyptian army is advancing
into .A byssinia, and a battle is im-
minent, as an Abyssinian army has
been summoned to resist the invad-
ers.
A despatch from Yokohama an-
nounces the total destruction by fire
of the steamship America, of the Pa-
cific Mail Company's line, valued at
one naillionlollars. The fire °mired
in. the harbor of Yokohama on the
night of the steamer's arrival.
A horrible murder bas just been
perpetrated at Rheims. A butcher's
man, named Garel, was walking
with a young woman, Sydonie
Cauchy, in the neighborhood of
the town, when a quarrel between
-them arose, and Garel stunned her
with a blow with a stone, and then
cut off her head. He afterwards
gave himself into custody.
