The facility with which a portion of the Press of this Province- can manufacture " outrages," and con- nect certain leedirig politicians eof hitherto imblemished character with • thew, is. most surprising. -First, we had the Proton Outrage," which was exploded by a Committee of the Legislature, and very &early shown to be no -olitrage at all. Next in importance came the "Elgin. Asso- ciatian Frauds," Considereble harp- ing was done on this " outrage," and many reams good newspaper wasted in dishing it up to :public in different forms, Even, alter the unsavory morsel had been turned over arid ver, and presented in the most attractive manner, it was looked upon with distrust by people. That distrust was turned inteecentempt and loathing for the concect.ers of the slander, when Mr. McKellar ,made in •the Legislature his plain, straight -forward and -un- varnished statement, in refutation of the base and groundless asper- sions which had been brought against his character. Refusing to profit, however, by the experience of the past, the inventors of these "outrages." haem staked their all upon a. tliird. This time. it is the " Cocks Outrage." The particulars of this " Outrage " are pretty Much .a.s. follows: In the fall of 1871, an 'English clergyroan, named Horrucks Cocks, paid a visit to this -country, for the purpose of gaining informa- tion regarding its resources and ne- cessities, in order to place that in- formation before the laboring '01aeses of 'England, to satisfy them of the • fitness of this country as a field for immigrants. This Mr. Cooke, on his arrival in this country, was wel- • comed and hospitably entertained by prominent politicians and clerg,ys mea of the Ptrovince; On account of the nature of his 'mission, and the fact that he had hitheree been inti- mately connected with emigration societies in the old country, it was • desired that he should form as fa- vorable an opinion as possible of this country. Before his departure from Canada, he addressed a note to Hon. Mr. Carling, then bead of the On- tario Immigration- Departmenti Of- fering to deliver lectures in various cities and to wnse - England al d Scotlandeon condition that the On- tario Government sho d• allow him certain sum per learn -et tt; defray his expenses. Immediately • after this letter was Written, .and before Mr.- Carling had time to reply to it, the Government of which he was a memoer was defeated. Mr. Carling, accordingly wrote to Mr. Cocks, in- formiug him of this fact, and steam? his regret that he would, under the circumsta.nces, be unableto take any action on the proposition, but that he would take means to - have it brought to the Attention of his • successor in office, Mr. .Mc- Kellar. This be did, and correspon- dence was opened between Mr. Mc- Kellar and Mr. Cocks, which result- ed in an engaeement of the latter to deliver the 1Zetures on the terms asked. The lectures were delivered, and the results were suffi,cient to • convince . the Government of Mr. • Cocks' usefulness. .At the expira- • tion of the eriga.gement above allud- • ed to, Mr. McKellar gave Mr. Cocks the appointment of -Chief Emigratiun Agent in England an Wales. From the time of his first kppearance in thie country, wail his appointment as agent, not a breath was heard derogatory to Mi. Cocks. Immediately upon the appointment • being made, however, tumors were circulated to the effeet that Mr. Codes was a man of intemperate • habits, and was, in additien, an im- postor. Mr.' McKellar made evety enquiry into these rumors, and found them to be absolutely base- less. Nothing further was fleard of Mr. Cocks or his doings by the pub- lic until the late session of' the On- tario " Legislature, • when the old charge.s .wee again hinted ,at by members of •the Opposition. _Mr; • McKellar, however, immediately took the matter up, and showed to the entire satisfaction of the Leeis- e elature that the charges agathst 'Cocks' character were groundless._ • It seems, however, :that on Mr: Cocks'. eecommendation a person named Whelhams had been appoint- ed as his assistant.. According to a report. of the officers of Scotland . - Yard, the headquarters of the Lon - den police, this man Whelha.nuebears anything but a good character in the old country.

The Manufacturer's of While -many of the leading men rages" have now gon belonging to both political parties enough, and thtir cowa in the Dominion are actively en - ist. It tea& as follows : "We are assured, that where large public works are in progress, as will be the case in Canada far some years to co p . me, it will prevent that intimidation on the part of emploYers which, under a system of open votiug, would be certain to be exercised. A man who conceals the way in which heintends to 'vote at an election is, a doubtful character at best. The advocates •of the ballot are quite willing that an elector should lie and take a bribe if he will ' but publicly prove himself a scoundrel by voting dif- ferently to What he had promised. The evil effects of snch conduct upon society will certainly be worse than any system of inthnidation which could exist." lf this is the strongeat argument the organ can bring against the bal- lot, its excuse for opposing it is flim- sy enough. One of the best reasons why the system should be ilatrm duceenow, is the fact that exten- sive public works controlled and manipulated by the Government, will shortly be in progress. If the system of secret voting be not intro-. duced the operatives'on these public works will be, entirely at the mercy of the Government. They will have to vote with the Government or lose their sittratioas. ,. There are few men dependent on the result of their daily labor for the means of supporting themsel yes end their film - Dies, who can afford to lose their em- ployment, and a:ley will consequent- ly be compelled to sacrifice their po- litical convictions in order to retain it. Under such circumstances, hon- est and well meaning men have ire- quently been driven to puisue such a course. But, if there were no pos- sibility their of employers ascertain- ing which way they had voted, there Id b it f the these "out - quite far dly and un- supported attacks on private chl- aeter should cease. To rePaatedly accuse men of base °rim s, and when called upon to produce roof of the eCctisedans, to sneak o and leave the charges unproved an unretract- ed, is conduct which no respectable journalist or individual would be guilty of. How muchl more dis- creditable, then, for journalists, after mieerably tO produce a syllable in proof of their charges, to persist in repeating them Such is the conduct of the Totonto and the journals which follow its lead. • Dominion Parliament. Our usual Ottawa correspondence has failed to come to hand this week. There has, howev• et, been no busi- ness of importance transacted sine our last. • On Wednesday of last week the House adjourned until Saturday. 'Many of the mem beim left for ibeir homes on Wednesday evening and did not retern until the followingeTu-ellay. The only business tran4ted on Saturday was to advance aistage two or three un- opposed measures. "" The House ad- journed from iitrurday until Tues- day. On Tuesday And Wednesday the time was occupied principally in considering items of supply and no discussions of interest took place. Thera wat no work ,doue by Com- mittees from tne time of the first ad- journment for the Easter holidays until Wednesday last. We notice it is stated by those who profess to know, that as soon as the supplies for the current year are all gtanted the Government will hurry on the roroga tion. Thus far, although the House has been in session Bever - al' weeks, there has be4 little legis- lation of practical benefit attempted, much -less carried out,' The pro- aramme submitted at the commence- mentr:. of the session was noteworthy for its barrenness, and the session pro- mises to be equally as barren of legislation. The granting of the sup- plies seems tck be the principal work for whiCh the representatives have been called together. With -literal supplies the Crovernment can do the rest themselves, if not as benificially to the country, at least a good deal, more to their own liking. FOR SOME MONTHS, the Modocs, deavoring to secure this great re- form, it is most disgusting to notice the position taken by the -present Dominion Government. They are anxions to frustrate the measure, knowing well that they hold their present position by encouraging and fostering thet electoral bribery and corruption which it is designed to prevent. But they dare not follow out the course their inclinations dic- tate, or defeat and ruin, would be their fate. They have, accordingly, chosen the irnmanly and •I)itiable position ef neutrality. Sir John Macilonald, in the early part of the sessipn, introdeced his Election bill, but it contained not one clause pointing toward secret voting. He did not introduce or promise such a measure, because himself and his _colleagues are opposed to it, and he dere not ask his followers to vote it down wher brought forward by another, becanie. he knows that, subservient as they are, they dare not disregard the wishes of their constittients to so great ati extent. When Mr. Tremblay's bill was brought before the House and dis- cussed, it might be supposed the Government would surely not al- low so important a measure to pass its second reading without a word, either in its favor or condemnation. Bet. here again, they give another display of their shambling' and cow- ardly tactics. They can't say any- thing in its favor, and they dare not oppose it -for fear of showing their weak hold upon their followers. They remain mum, and when the divisiomis taken only one of their number is ftrundJo vote for it; sev- eral vote against it, two "pair off," and three or four -are absent alto- gether. A more pitiable and humi- liating position than that occupied by the Dominion* Government on this question, no Oovernrnent or public, men ever occupied in this country. The leader of the Govern- ment, afraid to face the music, ab- sents himself from the House during the discussion, 'arid also:from the di- vision ; the two most prominent members, next to him,." pair off," and but one, Mitchell, the weakest °hiller in the whole fabric, dares to support it, by his vote only. - Never before, in the history of the coun- try, was a question of so grave im- portance, treated so shabbily by the advisers of Her Majesty's Repre- sentative; and we trust, for the credit' of the country, that never again will the like oecur. Although .Sir lohn, in his place in the House, dare not 'indicate what -his conrse toward this impor- tant reform will be, or what his opi- tribe of Indians in Northern -Cali- fornia, have been giving the "1:Tnited States Government trouble by their opposition to a scheme for their re- moval from their present quarters/ nion of it is, he _puts his Toronto on the Ctolumbia River, to another reservation,. The Government was disposed to deal. leniently with them, although they shoimd _them- selves on several occasions to be a most blood -thirsty and treacherous foe. A large force of troops; under essfully General _Canby, was sent against through the Commons.

Aceordingly, a commission, consisting of General Canby and three other persons, left and get out of his difficulty.

It is, doubtless, a knowledge of this fact that prompts Sir John and his organ to oppose the system which would ,allow thie freedom. Sir John,' has sacrified much to have these public works set on foot under Government control, and now that he has succeed- ed, be cannot bear the thought of hay ing the power and influence likely to be secured to him, swept away at one fell swoop. To say that a nen situated as we have above de- scribed is of "doubtful character," because, under the circumstances, he might wish to conceal the way in which he intended to vote at an election," is a base insult to thou- sands of intelligent and respectable electors. There would, not be much danger of an elector having an op- portunity to "lie ler take a bribe," if there WaS no oppOrton-ity of finding out how he voted; as there is no per- son so verdant as to give a bribe to an elector under such circumstances, sic) that there will be no "evil effects" • in this direction, at least, to mourn over. In the Australian colonies the systeni of secret voting has bad a fair trial, and has worked satisfac- torily in every instance. In Eng- land although as yet nothing more than en -experiment, it has peeved to nave advantagesi over the open system, and to be more satisfactory, especially to the working classes., We have no doubt but thae ie Eng- land there are many whO declaim against it; there are many large lanolowners and manufacturers, who, under the old system, lorded it over their tenants and employees, and made merchandise of their votes.

Our Municipal Loan debt being placed in such a satisfactory condition that if the County takes the Northern Gravel Road of' our hands, the town will be iii a position to undertake 80121.6 much need- ed improvements -Signal. While we can heaitily congratue late the citizens of the County town on their pod fortune in securing so handsome a reduction in their Municipal Loan Fund debt, and de- sire to sett them improving their beautifnl town to the fullest extent of their ability, we must enter our humble protest against any attempt to thruet this troublesonle Noithern Gravel Road upon the County. We cannot see that the County has eitherr a legal or naoral right to as- sume the proprtetorshiP of this road. A very large. majority of the rate- payers of the County have expressed a similar view, and what grounds our contemporary or the people of Goderich have for supposing that the County will relieve them of their self -assumed burthen, we are at a loss to know. The County deals liberally with the town in this matter, when it assumes the respon- sibility of keeping the road in ire - pair, and pays the interest on the money whist' the -town has invested in the road. We woold, therefore, advise those who are now so anxi- ous to have the County assume the proprietorship of the concern, to leave well enough alone. The New Tavern and Shop Li- cence Act. During the past session of the Ontario Legislature an act amend- ing the act respecting Tavera and Shop licences became law. One or two clauses of this amended act are of more than ordinary import- ance to hotel -keepers, and others, as they are much more stringent than any in the old ace The following are the clauses referred to: " The third clause declares that the presence of a person or a light in a bar- room1, or any other room in a tavern or saloon where liquors are usually sold, shall be deemed to be prima facie evi- dence of an illegal sale of liquor, andsthe • keeper of the tavern or saloon, on convic- tion'shall be punished as though liquor had been actually sold. "By the seventh clause, the following scale of fees, payable to the Province, over and above the sums which may be imposed by the nismicipalities, is fixed: For tavern licenceain cities, $30; towns, $25 ; townships and inscorporater3. • lastes, $15; for Vessels navigating the waters of the Province $30; Mr each shop licence in. any municipality except townships, $25, and in townships, $1:; for each tavern licence in any territory not under municipal government, $50; • for each shop licence, $40. "The eighth clause requires that Mu- nicipal Councils shall immediately af- ter the act comes in force,' and some time in the month of January in each year, appoint officers to carry out the law, and define their duties."

The principal ob- ject it to effect a reduction of rail- road tariffs: Largely attended cpn- ventrons have been held in several central cities, with a view of effect- ing a combination of farmers, for the purpose of co-operating against the unjust exactions of the railways. It is held that the tariffs imposed are illegally high ; that locartraffic •is neglected in order to accomodate through freight, and that unjust dis- criminations are made in.rates be- tween different places at equal dis- tances from given points. Legisla- tion has so far been able to do lit- tle toward controlling the American railway corporatious, as they have about to leave that city. Scotland is at present in 9 state of excitement over the fi,st elections for the new School Boards. The great point in dispute is whether the Shorter Catechism shall or shall net be taught in the schools, and the different sides muster their forces accordingly for "ecateclaism.
