The Huron Expositor, 1871-03-31, Page 4- 4 11 woo:. t.:;poottor.- Ail Official Notices Published MARCH 31, 1871.1 - St1.7.8 London-, Huron and Bruce Railway. No sooner had the smoke and dust occasioned by the late political__ contest cleared off, then the pro- moters of this scheme took advan- tage of the lull which sit ceedathe storm in order to org ize their company, and set the wh els of their project in modem.. -The following gentlemen have been elected officers of the Company: John Birrell, Esq., President ; James. Cousins, Esq., Mayor of London, Tice-Pre,sidene; E. W. -Hyman, "Esq., Treasurer; J. H. Flock, Esq., Solicitor; Thos. Chamber, Esq., Secretary, and Murray Anderson, Esq., Managing Director. We are also happy to ue able to state, that at a ineetine° of the Board of Directors, heldon Monday last, the looatipu of the road, so far as this section is con- cerned, was decided upon, It 'as unanimously decided to build the road from the village of Ireland, on the boundary between the tewnships of Biddulph . and ;McGillivray, to Kippen, and: from, ..thence, through Seaforth, on to An:der-the and Wingharn. . From Wingbam the route has not been decided, but awaits further exploration and examination on the part of the Engineer. The same may be said regarding the seetion between Ire- land and the City orLandon. From this it will be seen that the Directors -have now set to work in earnest, and we trust their efforts will be earnestly- and vigorously seconded by the people of the municipalities through which the road is to pass. .N9 matter how energetically tlie Direetors and Meads of the scheme in London may labor, they cannot carry their scheme through successfully without substantial pecuniary assistance front every municipality through which the road will pass. The question, therefore, now to be de- cided is, will it pay these munici- palities, in a commercial point_ of view, to grant this assistance? We have all along held; and we still hold, and shall endeavor to preve, tho.c it So far as the people_ of the more extreme- Northern and Southern townships, are concerned, we • need say but. little to them. They have already made up their minds upon the subject. They feel the want of a railway and they are _bound to have one atany cost. They also feet that the Lob don road will serve their purpose; tied have de- termined to „-ive it suclr aid as will secure its construction. The_people of the central townships and the village of Seaforth, however, con- sider that they are now "conven iently situated to rail‘vay communi- cation, and that they are; to a cer- tain extent, independent of the Lon- don scheufe. But_before making up their minds. they should recall the fact that those people who are now crying oat for, and exerting every nerve (0 secure convenient rail way facilities, were, a" few years ago, beaVily taxed to assist to build the road which we now have at our doors. It would therefore. , be the oasest ingratitude, on our part, if we were to stand in the way of these people securing those 'blessings and earnfot ts which they. generously as- sisted us to procurc. It will only be rm.-rely an act of coutinon justice on the part of the people of Seaforth, '.Vackersuaith, an'] McKillup, to conie ferwael and lend a helping h sad to their neigh' cr. of Grey, Mortis, Turnbefry, Hay, Tjsborne, and other to wuships in the County 12ss favor- ed than themselves. But aside altogeiler from the que,stionof right and justice navolved in this issue, AA e Maintain that it will pay us, and pay us well, to come forward noun1. aid substtin- ptially with our means this project which will prove so greAt a boonito the people to. the North ,and South of us. Take, for instance, the village of Seafottli. It eau not 1e deuied that the rapid growth aud progress of our village is attributable ill no stnail deg-ree to the libel al patronage en- joyed_ by our merchants and husi- n -ss men float the industrious auft ti r ty s t,) the North and South, of us.

So that althoegh for the present prospects are not very bright, yet in the future there seems a good time in store for Canadian • salt manufacturers. The Prospects of the Opposition • It has new been pretty generally asceitained that the prospects of the Opposition in the Ontatio Leg- islature are much brighter than be- fore the election. Notwithstanding this, hovvestr, we must confess that -we cannot look forward to the fu- ture with, such feelings of assurance and hope as idme ,of our more san- guine eontempcnaries profe,ss to do. That the Opposition have gained strength no one will deny, but that they have gained sufficient in num- bers to enable them to unseat their opponents .and assume the reins ,of Government, we very much doubt. In so far as ability is concerned, the gain has been most marked. The Opposition now possess in their rainks some of the most able and eloquent -debaters in the country. In this respect they were, before the eleptions, much s superior to their opponents; but now, with the late gain, there is 'scarcely any compari- son between the two .sides. So far • as we ate able to judge, from a close • and careftil scrutiny of the list of re- turned members, the relative posi- tion of parties will be much the same as it was at the commence- ment of the late Parliament, with this difference, that there are, this time, a larger number of " indepen- dent "- or " doubtful " members. These' doubtful" representatives are, generally, much like "doubtful" electors, ready to cast in their lot with the winning side, whichever that may be. A sufficient number of these loose fish have gained seats at the late election to turn the scale either way. This being the case, .the party which is prepared to make the best show during the first three or four days of the opening sassion, is the • party • which wil7 receive the bulk of the support of these "independents," . and whichl will Most likely succeed. Mete is no one bettet aware of this fact than the Premier of Ontario himself, and there is no one who will be more ready to make good use of his time and opportunities in order to gain every advantage. Notwithstanding that, in so far as ability is concerned, the leaders of the Opposition have the decided advantage, yet, in the matter of tact, shrewdness, and a general knowledge of huma char- acter, they are much defieien when compared with the Premier. With the patronage of the GOvernment and so large a. fund of public money at his disposal, John Sandfield has in his hands a weapon which will -sorely` try the honesty of more than , - one honorable gentleman. The ad- vantage which he will gain in this way will make up in a great meas - lire for any deficiency he may expe- rience in respect of numbers. We do not mean to say that all the peo- ple's. representatives are purchase - able. But where 4o many are gath- ered tngether, them is al ways a cer- tain percentage with whom the al -- mighty dollar has 1a, powerful influ- ence ; and it will be vvonderful phenomenon in. Canadian pOitics if the new Ontario Parliament prove eXeeptiOn to this rule. Where parties are so evenly bqlanced as they be when the House meets, It is exceedingly idifficult to keep those who have ai longing desire to taste of the loaves and fishes from making a grab when • they- are pressed so persistently etpoa them as thy -undoubtedly will be by Mr. Macdonald. I , Although the Opposition may no-, be able as is fondly antipipated by some, immediately to attain pow- er, yet we cbribt not they will have sufficient strergth and stamina to prevent much of the maladminis- tration whicn distinguished thelast Parliament. We believe they will have sufficient strength to restrain , the Government flora propriating to themselves the functions of both 0 ove min en t and Legislature, as they have heretofore persistently done. Even should they not suc- ceed in accomplishing more than this, they will gain for the county a boon which will entitle them to the plasEiiiication of •embers. Below will be foul as fair and correct a classification •f he repre- sentatives recently electld as can possibly be made. I arra ging this list, we have not de elide upon the classification of either the Globe or the Telegraph, as We bel eve both t are considerablv biased, but have relied solely_upon our :iwri. personal knovvledgde of the past carer of the candidates, or the Fentirfien express - f ed by them in their addre., es or dur- in,g their canvases. .

From the diseussions in Con- gress -am" the reports in Northtm papers, it appears that a state of af- fairs bordering upon anarehy exists - in several of the lately rebellious States, and especially in South Car- olina. A secret •society, known as the "Kuklux," commits nightly outrages on negroes andunoffending citizens of different political views from themselves, while the negroec, in turn, have their secret organiza- • tions, which retaliate, when •oppor- ttinity offers, on the opposing fac- tion. The Courts of law_ and the •State Legislatures of 1110St of the $tates are in the hands of cabals - who mete out justice and frame laws t for the benefit of only themselves. and their partizans. The general • commercial and agricultural inter- ests of the country, meanwhile!, seem to be in a very backward condition. The negroes are lazy, and the whites, if possible, lazier, - -so it is not to be wondered that the, countrY does not prosper. Until an entirely new population, made. up of emigrants from the Northern States and Europe, takes the place of the present thriftless and unruly Inhabitants, there can hardly be per- manent peace or prosperity in those States. • THERE Is SOME little talk of a Re-- orm Demonstratiou being given somewhere in this County to cele - rate the recent victory achieved by flessrs. Gibson and Gibbons in the North and South Ridings e . , We annot say that we regard the prop°- , ition with any degtee of favor. The effect;of demonstrations of this. lcind is generally ill -feeling and in- reased bitterness between the .two _pposing parties. Such a demon- tration would- make no 'converts to ur principles, would addno fol - to vers to our ranks, or gain us a Ingle addieional vote in the next lection.
