The contest on the question of -the Beet Act may now be said to have fair- ly begun. Each side has had a tweeting of representatives froth all parts of the county at Clinton, and the tint steps for prosecuting the work of passing the Act have been entered upon by the Temper - ante men. So far the Scott Act men have had the best of the battle, mot because of what they have done, but because of t he act ions of the licensed victuallers, at their recent seeding in Clinton. This gathering un- like the Scott Act convention, was nut open to the general public ; no invitation was given to the press or the people generally to attend; and au air of semi - secrecy pervaded the entire primed - bags. Independent men are likely to weigh the actions of the rival forma, and the more cion conduct of the •cult Act ad- vocates will commend itself to those who believe that questions pertaining to the highest interests o -t the public should bear the fullest and freest air- ing before the people from the start. The scriptural axiom that ''Men love darkness rather than light because their deeds are eau," is suggested to the most impartial mind when the action of the rival meetings at Clinton are contrast- e d. It may be that the licensed victuallers bad right motive.' in holding their county meetings in an esoteric tanner, hut !t will be hard to convince the general pub- be who were barred out that the line di- viding theist was drawn between the putlitans and the public because of the deep interest the former had in the wel- ilhre of the latter. The anti -Scott Act men placed them- selves at a great disadvantage by holding their close meeting last week. Rumors of 811 sorts, some etthem palpably false and foolish, have spread all over the oeunty as to what was said and (lone at that meeting, and other rumors of a more likely nature. but perhaps untrue, are also on the rounds. There rumour bare grown out of the debarring of the people generally from the anti -Scott Act meeting, and en that account an aggriev- ed people will be more likely to believe them. The liquor then are not running a prudent campaign. Of course private meetings of committees, etc., on both aides will be held, and that is to be ex- pected. But when representatives of the anti -Scott men of the county are gathered in deliberation, and the doors are shut in the face of the -public, it °en- treats unfavorably with the eetiona of the Scott Act men who were anxious to get everybody to their ineeting. Wham the eloquent E. King Dodds arrives, the antii Scott me.tinvs it'll be open to all WRI(.IGLiVG WIZJORAMITLt.

Mr. Wilson • egg business is tor. vreat • boon to the farmers to be seriously interfered with by hotel -keepers' stubburnnees. "Boycotting" a man because his opin- ion differs from yours is a woeful mis- take at any time, but when it is resorted to by a class in the county which is numerically weak, and exists by the pat- ronage of the travelling puolic, it drops into the low category of stupidity of the densest kind. When the licensed victuallers of Huron passed a resolution to "boyoutt" the president of the Teum- ' perace Alliance in this county they were guilty tot a silly act, and one cannot make any distinction between the foolish fel- lows who made the resolution and the stupid fellows that passed it. If a motion has been trade by the licensed victuallers "boycotting ' Mr. D. D. Wilson ..r anyone else for having the courage of his convictions, the soon- er It is rescinded the better it will be fur the association. The anti -Scott men cannot afford to lose any sympathy in the campaign that a now imminent; and a few exhibitions of such petty maim as that above mentioned will have the ten- dency to alienate the friendly feelings of those outside of the liquor business who are at present disposed to favor the continuance of the Crooks Act as against the introduction of the Scott Act. If the resolution "boycottiug ' Mr. Wilson is a specimen of the work done at Clinton by the licensed victallen gath- ering, we don't wonder that the meeting was held with closed doom. r Therefore, we say to the liquor men : Have a care.

Now if this repurt he true, it may interest you and perhaps your readers to kuow of Moon's conduct here. His first step' in his pretended official capacity, was to visit many of the settlers of the surroundin,t country, and say to them, that he had been sent out hen to settle all laud disputes 'between individusi parties, as well as between parties and the Government. From how many he demanded fees 1 hart no means of knowing. further than of my- self he demanded $It10, and used every moans in his power to intimidate rite, saying that the money was for one Evans, wh•, was to pee. upon all claims of settlers, and unless Evans got the scones he would report against my hold- ing.

On. !William Pearce was pent ant here to investigate this charge and others. In the meantime Moore was suspended, and given full opportunity to defend himself, and a more unblushing state• ment never was perpetrated in open court than Pat.

How- .rer a change came over the spirit .,f hie dream,and he had to skip .out, hiding, as he did for three days from the police of this place, and it was only by denying his identity that he escaped arrest by the police at Troy. He was wanted to answer a charge of wilful perjury and his guilt or innocence would have to be passed upon by • jury of his countrymen and not by Sir John and his Cabinet. Hence his anxiety to evade apprehension. And now what is this man's punishment for two of as grave charges es were ever brought to the dors of any official ! Simply he is transferred from Priam Albert to Winnipeg, and, as he beasts, is given a mere important held to oper- ate in.

A terrible crime has been committed. The Law, unfor- tunately permits bail to criminals of the character of the participants in the Clin- ton outrage ; Nature may prompt a re- latire to become a bondsman for a per- son charged with a crime of so vile • grade ; but if an outsider goes bail for the perpetrator of such a crime, his doubted! action un y becomes a fit subject for criticam. And the more respectable the surety, the greater necessity for criticism. Knowing the circumstances of the case, as adduced in evidence, we feel assured that all three of the accused should be treated alike, and we fail to see why Herbert and Sooles are out on bail, and Hunter is behind iron ban.— En.

Of course boasting is men talk, of a rather loud nature ; but what can the Nr.r Er., show t.. hack up its talk 1 By the epoalizetion report of this year we find that Clinton stands just where it stood last year, viz , at $450,000; Sea - forth is also equalized at (450,000; and Goderich fig,driti up to $1,065,000.

On Sunday last, Rev. Dr. Talmage de- livered a sermon that was meant to tear the romance &But sin, and place robbery in its true light. He denounced the de- faulting officer as a thief no less than the petty larcenist. He pertinently engoir. quired why New York should have the Tombs prison for the man who, stole an overcoat, and all Canada for the man who steals $3,000,000. So far we quite agree with the able, if eccentric, divine, but when he goes into statistics we don't follow him so well.

As we understand it, if a man steals a cent he is a thief ; if he steals $5081.000, then he is 50,000,010 times a thief, according to Talmage.

As won as passable, Phipps was captured, and said that it was his wife he had shot. Mn. Phipps expired on the arrival of the boat at the Canadian shore and Phipps was delivered up to the authorities In- the officers of the bat.
