FRIDAY, JANUARY 15 1869. • ; • NEW AGRICULTURATa -LAW. THE elections by the different Agri- cultural Societies of a member' to re- present them in the 'Central Council, takes place between the -15th- and 21st of this month. This eentkal Board or Councirlionsists of 12 members, and int order to divide the 'members, over the whole 14ovinee, several Counties are united into an Electoral Division—Hu- , ron,.Bruc, Gey, AlgomI and Simcoe -forth, the tenth divisions. , After an election takes place, 'the Secretaries of the various A-gricultural A.ssociations . report ta the Commissioner, 'who counts the votes and accepts 't,he individual re- ceivingaa majori,ty. In case of a tie, the Commissioner has the casting vete. He has also the power to . fill vacancies caused by death, resignation, or wise. AB. the astride elect ROW. One year hence, the representatives of the fur Eastern Districts will retire, and new- electiesna will be held. Two years hence, the representatives of the four central districts will retire, and three years hence, those of the four Western Districts willyetire. Thus, one-third of the elective portion_ of the Board will retire every year. It is expected that the people Of this flourishineCounty, will attend to their own interests ,so fficiently toseethat so far asfihey canprevent, no incempetent indiaeidual be elected as Councillor. The recent revelations made by the Com- mision of enquiry regarding the Board of' Agriculture, warrant us in uttering a ward orcaution. The miblie funds shevld be carefully husbanded, and no manallowed to retain any portion of them beyond hat is lawfully his OWIL. THE SEAFORTH EXPOSITOR. this, .should be done as -cheaply as Pos.. sible. The plain working man' the west s toiling hard to provide a- compe- tence for leimself and family, mast feel annoyed to think that part .of his hard earnings will, go to pay for a six thousand dollarstable, and similarly extravagant furnituee. The contrast of such profusion with his oWn condi- %ions cannot help but force itself upon his Mind, and he Will' feel ;perhaps less contented with his lot,. and less •intent neon discharging the'd-uties of Citizen- , - ship. The great bane of Canadians at the pretent day, is a seeming . desire to. ape the -personages and institutions of the old Country. If we are going to have Parliament buildings, they must Compare with those of England; if our Gavernor's are to be furnished. with residences, they must be no mean.imi- tation . of Buckingham Palace. • In this way a specie § of pseudo -aristocracy is being formed—an aristocracy having all the pride, but lacking the power and ediacation of older countries. Now we protest against this down- ward tendency in Canadian affairs. The n4biTity which is most competent to n elevate our country, is et the nobility of ancestry, but the nobility of mind. And. he who ftilllS to engraft any such system upon - our in.stitutiona by the encouragement of extravagance is false to the true interests of Cen.adians, and unworthy -of the confidence of those who desire to see all classes of the corn - Inanity sustain only an equitable amount of the public burdens. In order that our •readers may see who were economical, and Who were not, we sub- join the vote taken on Mr. McKellar's The Board of Agriculture. One of the early seta of the Com- niissioner fof Agriculture, Mr. Carling, was to ask of the .13oard of Agricul- ture a return in detail of its receipts and expenditures, tegether with a state- ment of assets and liabilities from 1st of January to - June 30th, 1868. To this a partial reply was given, being a copy of the "Treasurer'S Account Book," showing a balance of -$12,493 67. But of this amount the Treasurer,' Col R. L. Dennison, claimed $6,338 on aocaliat of "commission" of one • G VERNOR'S RESIDENCE. 1 _ . A g deal of useless debate took place in the House last week regaxdiag the Supplies. On the item of $1.00,- 000 for a -Governor's Residence,.... there was more than. the usual .araount- of forensic lore The point urged by the , Opposition was well put, and we have no doubt but the _people of Ontaxio will fully ap(preciatei the stand taken- by motion to reduce the 4pertse` of the Governor's -residence froin $100,000 to $90,000. • ` ' . 1 - i YEAS—Messrs.
