R is said that. the deputation is com-
posed of three shrewd, intelligent, and
observing n+, and from what . they
have thus fariseen of the Province, they
are highly delightei with it. Their
mission aan 04arcely fail to be produc-
tive of the best results. They represent
a class which would harm a valuable ae-
quisition to the population of any
country. Th se Old Country _tenant

That Ontario affords a most excellent
Mr. Cartwright's- Meeting.
The Hon. Sir Richard Cartwright
M. P. for Centre Huron, addressed hi
constituents in Catdim's Hall, Seaforth
on the evening of Tuesday • last.- Th
meeting was a large, enthusiastic an
most orderly one. Mr. Beattie, Mayo
of Seaforth, was called to the • chair
and in a brief and suitable address in
troduced the speaker. Mr. Cartwrigh
have a liking
ing and anxio
f sufficient means to . buy
mproved farm, and many
farmers who seem to
for pioneer life, are will -
8 to sell. It is- a wise
policy to dire t the attention of these
s people to the fertile and cleared landsof
Ontario. The will be much morelikely
e1 to succeed h re than in a new country;
and our peopl , many of.them at least,
r are not only etter adopted by'experi-
elle° and trai mg for success in a new
country, but ave an actual liking for
that kind, ot life. We look forward,
en coming forward was received with
cheers. He spoke for about an hoer
and a quarter in his usual clear, forci-
ble and. convincing manner. With the
space at our dispbsal just now, it is im-
possible for us to give even a summary
of his address. He referred to the fact
_ that with so small a force as the -Oppo-
sition had in Parliament last session, it
was not possible for them to do much
more than to enter a protest against
the legislation of the Government, and
to freely and fearlessly criticize the
public measures submitted to Parlia-
ment. This they had. done. and
with good results. He referred to the
difference in the position occupied by
the leaders of the Coneervative party
now, and when they last a,ppealed to the
people. Thenthey were in a measure
irresponsible, a,nd could and. did make
allmanner of promises to the people;
now, however, they were responsible for
their acts and utterances. Had the
responsibilities of office rested upon
them when. they introduced their
National Policy, a policy of "shreds
and patches," they would never have
dared to submit it to the people, much
less succeed in seducing themLto accept
it. He claimed that if the people of
Ontario, at least, :were called upon to
give their decision) on the National
Policy as it now is at the present time,
that decision would be overwhelming-
ly against it In proof of this, he gave
the result of the Oaten.° elections.
He proved the untruthfulness of the
charges of extravagance ro.ade against
the Mackenzie Gcveriament by Compar-
ing their controllable expenditure
for their last year with theestimates for
similar expenditure submitted last
session by Mr. Tilley, the latter being
considerably in advance of the former.
13e alluded in scathing terms to the Le-
tellier disnaissal and the North West
p-olicy of the Government, and. in-
stanced several cases wherein the pub-
lic money had been misappropriated
since the present \Government came
into office. He also showed that the
National Policy thus far had not bene-
fitted any classes of the community
save a few manufacturers in whose in-
terests it had been specially framed, and
earnestly cautioned his friends against
being , deluded, into the belief that the
National Policy is responsible for bene-
fits which can alone be attribated to.
Providence and the natural ebb and flow
of businesaprosperity. • He made, upon
the whole, an able speech, which was
well received by the audience. At the
c onclusion a hearty and unanimous vote
of thanks, moved by Mr. John McMil-
lan, of Hallett, and seconded by Mr.Geo.
Walker, of Tuokersmith, was tendered
rn-ay here state that it was Mr.
_
Cartwright'e original intention to spend
a longer time in the riding and hold_ a
gre ater number of naeetings. Bat the
date of the Brussels meeting was fixed
by the Association of that town, and he
attended it upon invitation, and as he
had to ailiend the Woodstock and Til-
sonb tug demonstrations, it was impos-
sible for him justnow to remain longer
in the riding. On a future occasion,
however, he will visit other sections
which he was reluctantly compelled to
omit on this occasion.
Tenant Farmers' ImMigration.
A deputation sent by thp Tenant Far-
mers of Great Britain is at present
looking through this Province with the t
view of determining upon its advantages s
as a point for settlement for those of d
their class who may desire to emigrate c
to this country. This deputation is at 0
present under the direction of the Ont_ t
ario Government. They have been in b
ha the province for several weeks. a
They ahave visited the 1:Efferent large o
sehows and fairs, and are now "doing " a
the Eastern and Southern counties of J
the Province. They will visit the
Counties of Huron, Perth, and Bruce, s
probably next week, under the direction w
of Mr. D. D. Hay, M. P. P. for North h
Perth. A person better fitted to show fa
them 'round, and aid them in- the t
gleaning of useful information concern- b
therefore, to the most favorable results.'
from this mission. If the report of these
delegates to their people at home be
favorable, of which there is little doubt,
there will be a large and immediate
immigration to this province and
country. Many, of course, will remain
here, but WM" of the younger snd More
adventurous will, no doubt, go to our
North West lands. In both instances
they can be well suited, and. in either
case they can do much better for them-
selves and their families than they are
.now doing at home.
Clin ing to Offi.oe.
In referring :to the position at pres:
ent occupied by Mr. Joly, the Qiiebec
Premier, the Ottawa _Herald, a pro
fessedly independent paper, says s
"A statesman never profits by
evincing an inordinate attachment to
office, and the spectacle of the leader of
a great party clinging to the ship of
state after he Las been -told to get out,
is nof a very edifying one. Mr. Joly
has hart himself by holding on to office
to fit a hopeless fight, and his op-
ponents cannot have elevated them-
selves in the estimation of the people,
by their rna,nifestation of anxiety for
power." •1
• ,
It is quite true that a party ,leader
does not elevate himself in public es-
timation by retaining office after it is
made clear that the , people have
lost confidence in hint asaan adminstra-
tor. This, however, is not the position
occupied by Mr. Joly. He was sus-
tained at the p lls by the popular vote
of the elector; he has 'since been
steadily sustai ed by the people's re-
presentatives, and as yet no .evidence
has been given by the people that they
have lost confidence in him as a ruler.
The Hera/d, judging from the above ex-
teaot, confounds the will of the Legis-
lative Council With that of the people.
It is true that by the Council Mr. Joly
has been "told to get out," but by the
people never. The Counoil is in no re-
spect representative of the people. It
is irresponsible and partizan and has
gone determineilly in oppositi n to the
popular will, awl had Mr. JoJIy obeyed
their behest to 'get out" he would have
proven himself recreant to the trust re-
posed in him by the people.To say,
therefore, that he has "hurt himself" in
popular estimat-on because he adhered
`to the people an
refused to obey an ir-
responsible bod which has been clear-
ly proven to 1e antagonistic .to the
wishes of the people, is nonsense. We
venture to say that so soon as the peo-
ple declare their lack of confidence in
him, Mr. Joly will not be found cling-
ing to office. But should he abandon
office, and thus leave the people to the
tender mercies of an oligarchy, then he
would be deserving of the most severe'
censure. That he has not done this,
but .that he has stood firm by the pet>
pie, is immensely to his credit, and his
action will, we are sure, endearZand
popularize him with the masses of his
fellow countrymen. In the caee of a
dissolution and an a,ppeal to the peo-
ple, this will be roven, as -we have nob Iv
the least doubt but Mr. Joly, in such an
event, will be ustained by an over-
whelming majority..
We do not bel eve that the arbitrary
and tyrannical conduct Of the Council
is approved of by a majority of the
Conservative p trty of Quebec, but
simply by a feefr, who have personal
ends to serve and personal ambition to
gratify. That he ymptithies of the m
more independe t and intelligent por- a
ion of the party are opposed to irre-
ponsible govern ent there can be little
oubt. Consequently, if this is the
ase, the charge Of an undue desire for
There is no doubt but the people realise
the .danger of the situation, and It is
searoely probable they will willingly
place themselves in so dangerous a po-
sition.

GLASGOW BA 'IC DIRECTORS.—Five of
the Glasgow Bank Directors, convicted
of uttering fa se abstracts of balance

imprisonment, were released Monday
amid the hoo ing of a crowd. The
other Direct° s, convicted of fraud,

TEXAS CA.TT E FEVER.—The Texas
cattle fever is prevailing to some ex
tent at the Uni n Stock yards in Chi
-cage. One ma, lost six head out of 20
and others hi ve lost several. The
. disease is very eculiar. It was brought
'here by Texas cattle, but is not fatal
with them. They infect native cattle
and it is very fatal to them, but strange
ly enough they do not transmit to each
other. They only take it from Texans
and not from each other.
THE RUSSO-GERMAN QUARREL.—It is
stated in Vienna that the reason why
Prince GortsChakoff will not visit
Prince Bismarek is, although nominally
Chancellor„ he I no longer directs the
policy of Russia. The task of recon-
ciliation between Berlin and St. Peters-
burg Will be 1 ft to Prince Gortscha-
koff's success° . This successorship
was discussed a Livadia, and probab13-
Prince Labano will become Chancel-

the Directors on the question �f the
fusie!m of the net receipts of the road
with the Grand Trunk. The two
amendments, to appoint a Committee of
shareholders to Confer with the Boards
of both companies, and that the Board
be instructed. to defer any action that
would tend to prevent fusion, were both
uegatived. This is regarded as fatal to
to the proposed amalgamation.
THE LAND AGIITATION IN IRELAND.—
It is claimed that last Saturday was a
menaoroble day in the annals of the
Irish land question -agitation. Four
county meetings were 'held—one at
Cork, where nearly 20,000 people •as-
sembled ; one all Maryborough, Queen's
county, which 1 ttrected 14,000; one at
alway, attended by 15,-
rth at Ballinrobe, in
Of
Dunmore, in
000; and a fo
Mayo. The geoa aphical division shows
that the south, 4entre and west of the
country are pretty well impregnated
with the views t at the anti -rent agita-
tors have been p -caching.
AGRARIAN 00 RAGES. — The agrarian
outrage near Casjtlebar, Ireland, wherein
the agents of th Marquis of Sligo were
fired upon, and one of their assailants
was killed, ha is created excitement.
The Express, Times and .Miti./ declare -it
to be the result of political agitation,
and say that the reeponsibility for it
and for similar violence that may be
expected will rest on the heads of the
agitators. The Freeman's Journal says
it would be unjust to charge the out-
rage on the tenant farmers, and be-
lieves that the purpose of the outrage
was robbery.
INDIAN WAR.—The Ute Indians, oc-
cupying a reservation in Northwestern.
Colorado, have made an o-utbreak
against the United States Government.
Their grievances are the non -receipt of
their pensions and supplies and the in-
fringement of their reservation by set-
tlers and miners. Major Thornburgh,
with a command of 160 men, who went
to assist the resident Indian agent to
preserve order, was attacked by an am-
bush of Indians, and nearly the-whele
force, including Major Thorburgh,
ere killed.. The Ute reservation M
olorado comprises - twelve
acres, rich in mi erals and pasturage,
and it is inevit le that the 'Indians
must give place t the miners and set-
tlers.

The winner of the walking match in
New York walked off with something
less than $27,000. It was a pretty -good
week's work, although few of us would
care to attempt it. There were pro-
bably in the neighborhood of 200,000 ad-
miring spectators present during the
week, many of whom were ladies. Rev.
Henry Ward Beecher lectured in Tor-
onto the other night to an audience of a
few hundred, and probably received for
his lecture at the most a couple of hun-
dred dollars. A good base ball player
gets five or six thousand dollars a, year.
A clergyman starved to death for the
want of the necessaries of life in Tor-

all this that what this age most appre-
ciates is not brains, but legs and. mus-

The Bayfield Show.
The Bayfield show, held on Tuesday
and Wednesday last, was a grand suc-
cess. In fact, in every respect, the
show was the best that has ever been
heldin Bayfield, and was among the
best held this year in the county. Not-
withstanding that the weather on Wed-
nesday was somewhat threateniug, there
was a large attendance both of specta-
tors and exhibitors. There were this
year over 100 more entries than in any
former year. This result must be most
gratifying to, the energetic President,
Secretary and Direetors. The show in
the hall was really superior. Of fruit,
.roots and vegetables there was a mag
nificent display, and the quality of the
exhibits was fully equal to anything
shown in this county this year. In
grain there was also a large show, em

appreciate find love to admire. Here,
as at all the other shows this season,
there was not a very large display of
dairy products, but the show embraced
some splendid samples of butter. f
In tue field, the principal attraction
was the horses and sheep. Of horses,
in the several classes, there was a very
good show, the competition being par-
ticularly keen in team and buggy horses.
Of cattle, there was a fair show.
Thoroughbreds were not represented,
but there were several excellent grades,
although the competItion here was not
so keen as in the horse ring. There
was a very fine shciw of sheep. There
Was keen competition, and many ani-
.
mals,that would do credit to a . larger
and more pretentious show. Ds pigs
the show was not large, nor was there
nearly as keen competition as among
the sheep, but still there were several
good animals. In vehicles and irnple-
-ments, there was the usual good dis-
play. E very thiu g was conducted in the
best of order. and there was manifest a
lack of the con fu sioni which too frequently
prevails at these thews. The following

Those Horses Again.
Mn. EDITOR,—For reasons easily ex-
plained, I have said nothing in refuta-
tion. of the assertion of Mr. David
Walker in the columns of your paper,
some time ago, in relation to horses be-
longing to Mr. Jacob McGee, Jr. No
doubt Mr. Walker's opinion ought to be
of some weight, he being Reeve of
Tuckersmith. • TInfoitunately, how-
ever, his opinion is based. on hearsay.
His olfactory organ was not much in-
jured by the bad smell his neighbors
told him about.' Hearing different re-
ports about these horses, I went for my
own satisfaction, unsolicited by any
person, and I am under the firm con-
viction that it would be alm.ost impos-
sible for any animal to cut the horses
in that manner,—each cut was perfect-
ly smooth and clean—one about four
and the other aboat five inches in
length, almost exactly in the same spot
on the left side of each horse. Both
towards the plaintiff acquiring a pro..
prietory interest in the BUM& _Record
newspeper. The plaintiff had beett
dismissed, hence the action. In one of
the letters put into court, the plaintiff,
in urging upon defendant to start the
newspaper at Blyth, thus modestly re-
fers to himself: "The influence of my
pen has been felt in this neighborhood,
and without trumpeting my own ability,
I am not second to any editor, in point
of attainments, in our county." liss
Lordship at the close of the case order-
ed a verdict of non -suit to be entered_
The Queen vs. John Graham. The
Grand Jury came into court with a.
"true bill" against prisoner for larceny.
Mr. McGee moved for a Bench War-
rant against prisoner, which was or-
dered to issue accordingly.
Lanabert vs. Simmons. Action for
breach of lease. Verdict for plaintiff,.
Damage, one shilliug.
McMulkin is. Whitney. This was
an action for replevin. Verdict for de-
fendant.—.Signal.

on leg, cutting the cords and in-
flicting several bruises, which have
since confined him to his bed.
—In the statement we made in this
department, a couple of weeks ago, Tel
effecting a law suit between. Hodgins
and Rae, it seems we were not quite ac-
curate. The apology of the defendant
was that slf he had at any time said
anything offensive, he withdrew it and
expressed regret at having said so.'

ant were put together and an equal
