More Outrages.
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

"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

litical convictions in order to retain

quently been driven to puisue such
a course. But, if there were no pos-

• 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

disposed to deal. leniently with
them, although they shoimd _them-
selves on several occasions to be a
most blood -thirsty and treacherous

General _Canby, was sent against through the Commons. Bu6s, hint

teck, an effort was made to make

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,

• in this direction, at least, to mourn
over.

Tie Northern Gravel Road.
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."
