SEAFORTH, FRIDAY; Sept 11, 1874.
Controverted Bleateonee
Several cif the controverted election
cases in Ohtario have been tried and dis-
posed
of, andin each in4tance, so far, the
respondent has been useated and the
ic,
election voided, bid w are glad to say
that in no case hes pers nal bribery been
proved against the candidates. That in
each case. the most 4hameless bribery
has been practiced is 'a feet which the
evidence makes- patent to all who read it,
but this bribery has been by over -zealous
friends and agents, and, apparently, with-
out the consent orappreval of the prin-
cipal. It is lamentable that in any con.- -
stituency a sum equal to $3 per head for
each elector has been paid out in buying
. the franchise of, the electors by one of
,
the contending parties, to say nothing of
what has been spent i by .the opposing
party. Yet such are the facts which
have been divulged before , nearly every
court thus far held. I, In view of this,

want a.law which will remedy the evil,

other hand; Mr. Carling and -his friends,
who have been equally guilty with Mr. '

which exposes the misdeeds of one party
to a suit, to his serious detriment,
and allows another party to the
same suit, who is equally or perhaps
more guilty, to escape exposure is not a
just law, and should. be amended. It is
not -right that the law should place in the
hands of the prosecntor so powerful a
weapon against the respondent, and pro

to defend himself before the public by
