SEAFORTII, SEPTEMBER 27, 1878. '
The Next Step.
• !
Considera :le speculation is being in-
dulged. in as to ,what the next step will
be in the po itical arena. Some think'
Mr. Mackenzie, in view of the large ad-
verse vote given against him - by' the
country, shonid. forward. his resignation
to the Go!vernor-General at once.
Others say he should continue to ad-
minister the !affairs of the. country until,
Parliamentni: eets, and that he should
i
only resign hen met by an adverse vote
on the part :of the people.'s representa-
tives in Parllament assembled. We do
not know which course will be taken, as
- no definite information has been made
public on this point. We think, how-
ever, the latter course will be the one
adopted. It is the course which has
i been followeld in England, and. which,
also, commends itself to reason and
!
common geese. We know. our oppo-
nents are Very anxious ,to become re-
possessed of the flesh pots. This is but
natural. Theelectors have deelared at
a
the polis that they should have charge
of them, and it is but right that their
yearnings sllould be gratified as speedily
as possible. There is, however, a right
and. a wrong way of doing everything,
and even at the risk of delaying for a
day or two ur impatient friends grasp-
ing the priz for which they fought so
gallantly, thin right_ way should, and we
have no doubt will, be adopted. Until
expressed by the representatives in Par-
liament, Mr Mackenzie and his Govern-
ment are not in possession of any of-
ficial, legal knowledge of the opinion of
the countron their policy. This
r
knowledge -Ian only be gained • from a,
ParliamenteriVote. To resign before
such a vote is taken would. be to act on
hearsay. NNIre are sure Mr. Mackenzie
_will not be guilty of any -such foolish
proceeding. Parliament will, we fancy,
be called. together at the earliest pos-
t. Upon the meeting of
when the Address to the
sented,the Opposition, feel-
ngthswill move an amend-
-confidence iu the Govern -
is amendment be carried,
vernment will resign, and
ors will be appointed. Par -
1 be prorogued for a few
mit. of the new Ministers
ir. re-election. So soon as
-elected, they should BUM-
rnent to again meet, and
(fa should sub it their policy to it to
f be apprev d or rejected. as the case
may be. 0 oourse all this should be
done as ape dily as possible, and no un-
- necessary &lay should be allowed. The
country is i patient to hear Sir John's
National Piicy explained that they may
judge wbetller itis ereality or a fraud.
Besides thi , according to tit° Opposi-
' tien, the 4oautry is daily drifting to
ruin fors want of the application of this
National - olicy. Every class of the
community iesufferiug intensely, and as
- soon as .thi - -pronaised :remedy is applied,
all thisiwi change into prosperity and:
gladness. It will thus be seen that
prompt act on is of the utmost import-
ance. We laro sure there will. be no un -
:necessary jeiay ou Mr.Mackenzie's part.
There shot ld not be new -en the -part of
Sir John. '?According to his own show-
ing the cas's, is most urgent. Hellas led
the country to believe that he possesses
a remedy f e: all our ills, and. the coun-
try has a r ght to demand, and will de
mend, that that remedy be applied at
,
once, and without delay. Should- the
remedy plow effective uone will be
louder in its praise, and. in praise of its
author, thlan we will be. ,Shoulct it

shall be f reiuost in condemning the
Quack who introduced it. Iu a few
weeks at :nost, therefore, we should be
put in n pc sitioe to judge of the merits:
of this gre t remedy through the agency
of -which it is proposed to accomplish
so much. The case, as viewed by the
country. I urgent, and the -remedy can-
not be too sews applied. The cold win-
ter is fast approaching. The destitute
cauuot liv s on promises. it is onlv some-
thing rea that will keep them froin

Wrong or been guilty of briberSa let him
appeal to the law. Such a course
would be manly, but to abuse and. slan-
der one's betters is cowardly and mean.
Thanks to a Reform Government, there
is now on the statute book a law which,
if put in operation, will mete ont swift
and signal punishment upon any guilty
of corrupt acts, and if Mr. Cameron or
his friends have viola,ted this law,
which we do not believe they have, Mr.
Porter and his friends have the ma-
chinery at their disposal to punish them
for so doing. In view of this fact such
utterances, as those quoted. above are
entirely gratuitous and out of place.
They are an intuit to the holiest „elec-
tors of South Huron, and a -disgrace to
him who gave them utterance.

Ifigh Toned as -Usual.
Our Conservative _contemporary in
Exeter is extremely bitter and. abusive
over th defeat of its 2».otege So-ath
Huron. Thefollowing is a sample of
what it can do in this way:
This unfortunate result (the election of 'Mr.
Cameror)! has been accomplished by means the
most fou.I and contempttble—by acts whiah de-
grade theconstitueuey and cover the so-called Re-
form party with an odor of infamy and the deepest
shame.: fcts of the blackest con-uption were re-
sorted to ,n every quarter of the riding by the un-.
scrupulogs hireling agents of one of the most no.:
torious cqrruptionists in the Dominion. Nothing
that low, Itneau trickery could devise was left un-
done to s cure that man Cameron's return.
The
mild sa
bove extract, which is only a
pie culled from a lengthy ar-
ticle, isnot -very complimentary to the
majority of the electors of South Huron.
Besides! being false and abusive, it is
impertinent, and only serves to show
the de4 disappointment and chagrin
under lvhich the writer labored. It
would have been much more manly
had he !bottled up his wrath and swal-
lowed his disappointment, and. if "that
man Cameron " or his friends have done

tom House authorities at Havana, lately

ieside twelve barrels of beans, and forty-
six more inside twenty-three boxes pur-
porting to contain tomato sauce. ! The
-value of the seizure is $18,000.
LYNORED.—A hundred. armed Men at
Princeton, Ky., took Geo. D. Baptist
out of jail the other night and hanged
him.
PROSPECTIVE DISTURBANCE 4—ATI idea,

of the British Government will involve

Snows BEDELLION.—Ou Monday last
the tax upon the Chinese in Victoria, B.
C., was enforced by the seizure of goods
in Chinamen's stores, and the Mongo-
lian workmen for white employers

since returned to their work, and all is
quiet.
THE FAMINE ENDED. --There is an
abundant harvest this season in the fam-
ine districts of China, and no more suf-

HYDROPHOBIA ON A LA.EGE SCALE—OR

some fifty other dogs, and also bit David
Bell, EliAbeth Greenwood, and John

ter at Newark while suffering from hy-
drophobia. David Bell is now dying in
the agonies of hydrophobia. The other
dogs bitten weresmostly killed, and it is

drophobia.
