ive calm which has bang over, this ~ section of country for quite a time ~ tmvue, for a time at least, or until the ~ mecuro so valuable a road, and while able dealing and most likely that movements of that cnterprise; still The somewhat protracted speculat- past has just been partially disturbed and the disturbance is likely to con- new regime ir the directorate of the 'Toronto and Ottawa Railway Coy. has'so far developed itself that at Jonst the matter of route has been sot at rest. Mr. Scott, M.P.P.of Peterboro, bas hitherto been the Jeading spirit in this important wocheme, and the several municipal~ Lilies canvassed by that gentleman soon learned to respect him as a man of honor and put the utmost <onfidence in his integrity. The wundertaking was a most diserable ono and this ¢egethor with Mr. Scott's straight forward mannor secured many friends for the scheme and there was no difficulty in secur: ing bounsecs for the enterprise from all municipalities through which the road was expected to pass. Thus wverything bade fair for a speedy commencement and a not distant «<ompletion of one of the best rail- 'way enterprises ever agitated in this section of country if not in the prov- dpce. But when all regarded the wcheme as fairly afloat and likely to be pressed to a speedy completion an unexpected obstacle was raised svhich almost proved fatal to the scheme. It was knownto all that "Toronto would recive the lion's share «of the advantages arising from the 'constructing of this road so that a bouns of $250,000 was asked from her and the electors of tho city were «called upon to vote ona by-law granting a bouns to that amount and to tho surprise of all the by-law was defeated by a large majorty. 'The modest Torontonians were anxious to have the road but they expected the outside municipalities to build the road and lot them reap the profit free of cost. The action on the part of Toronto rotarded the progress of this desir- able undertaking. Noxt the provin- «cial parliament was asked for aid bit 'in this too the Company were disappointed for the Mowat Govern- ment of apolonaries water fame had expended all the loose change and had nothing left for railways. This 'was another set back to the scheme but a greater misfortune still await- edfthe enterprise in the severe and protracted sickness of Mr. Scott, the worthy president of the company. Still tho scheme kept alive and cow a change has been made in the di- rectorate. W. Gooderham of the firm of Gooderham& Worts having secured a controlling power in the manage- ment of the scheme is now takiug active steps to keep the bonuses alive by having the several munici- palities which have granted bonuses extend the time set forth for the commencement of the work which would otherwise lapse ere the work could be begun and consequently the bonuses become forfeited. The sev- eral municipalities concerned bave been communicated with and re quested to have by-laws passed ex tending the time for commencing work for one year beyond the time #ot fords in the bonus by-laws. -- Such a communication was sent to Pert Perry and a meeting was at once convened with the view of considering the request. The mattor was briefly discussed and a motion moving compliance wus carried unanimously. One or wo of the speakers while raising no obstacle to compliance refnsed '0 go enthusiestically into the matter until more information could be socured. Whileall concerned would be willing to do almost anything to the present scheme has been char: acterized so far by fair and honor- 'course will bo continued by the gentlemen who now control the it must be admitted that a vast amount of trickery and fraud have 'been practised by some railway _schemers and this admonishes people to bo cautious, No morc palpable instance of infernal trickory could be "instanced than that practiced upon Reach "shippers of grain by the . P.P.& L. Railway who, though at a point at least twenty r the front than Port doubt that be general routo already selected is the most advantageous as well for the stock holders as tbe country at large and will prove to effort should bo put forth to secare its passage through this locality in fact no other route can at all be compared with the one already mark- ed out whethor in the interest of the scheme itself or for general con- venience and advantage. e---- The Winding Up. Through the action of the the enterprise of the Mail corres- poadent an advance statement of the afiairs of the Consolidated Bank has been placed before the public. The statement shows the liabilities of the concerh te be $2,655,502 while the assets are only $1,063,579, leaving a deficiency of $1,491,923. This dofi- ciency will have to come off the capital stock ; but after the several shrinkings to which the stock bad been previously subjected the value of tho eapital stock is now $2,080,- 920. Then taking the deficiency from this leaves $588,997 as capital stock. Again thero is about $40,000 of secondary liabilities which being taken from the remaining capital stock will reduce it to $548,997.-- Honce the amount to be returned to the shareholders were there no other payments would be over 26 per cent. ot their stock. But the liquidation process cannot be aceomplished for nothing and after paying everything if the shareholders get returned to them 16 per cent. of their capital stock they may thank their stars.-- Parties having $500 stock may get $80, parties having $1,000 may get $160 or 816 for cvery $100 stoek they hold. When it first became known that the institution bad burst many of the bill holders became panic stricken and were ready to part with their bills at almost any price. The OBSERVER cautioned parties to hold on to their bills and not to part with them at Jess than their face value asssuring them that their face value would be realized, but many had al- ready sold large numbers at prices varying from%0 to 80 cents on the dollar, The excitement soon quieted down, parties beld on to their bills and obtained their full value.-- Many of our friends as sharehold- ors got badly bitten, interested part- ies circulated abroad that the assets including the stock was nothing likg sufficient to meet the liabilities and thay to a greater or less extent the double liability principle would be enforced, This created an alarm amongst the sharsholders and many of them gave away their stock to to parties who assumed the respons- ibility of the double liability should it come to be enforced. So far how- over from the double liability being called on there is a liklibood that at least 16 per cent of their Capital stock will be returned to the stock holders. This will wind up a very unfortunate and a badly misman- aged concern. er The Case Being Altered. It is amusing to witness the facil- ity with which be faithful can whoel into line at the word of command.-- While the late Mavaging Director was absbrbing part of the sweets of the Senatorial hive the Globe took up the cudgels ugainst all and sun- dry who might even whisper against the Senate's usefulness and the lesser lights applauded the de- fence. Now, however, the link of connection has been sovered; the Senatorial necter no longer flows through the Globe office, the Globe the quondam champion of the Senate, bas turned his guns upon his former protege and the entire following has followed suit, and "Down with the Senate!" is the battle cry ofall of them. This sudden and otber- wise inexplecable wheel can- not have arisen from any change in the character of the Senate, for at no previous poriod did that body over deserve better of the country than now; it cannot be a matter of economy for the Senate is at least as little expense now as "it ever was, noitber can it be because the couniry is Joss able to pay them now than formérly, so that the right about face of the Globe and its fol- lowing must be attributed to some other cause. We are willing to admit that it is the duty, whether it is the interest or not, of a public journalist to attack every unnecessary expend- iture and direct attention to what- ever change he considers likely to benefit the community so that the matter may be discussed and if found dtc -- in creation the Globe or any of its following can utter the slightest whimper against the cost of the Senate while that ridiculous bur- lesque the Local Legislature of On- tario with its 88 member is just under their noses scoms rather incon- sistent ; and if it be not an instance of color blindness it certainly is an instance of the worst kind of polit- ical blindness. ------ 'Wilhamsburg. Our Williamsburg friends are evincing a commendable spirit of energy and enterprise. The effort now being made to secure comfort- able side-walks is a move far in the right direction and will add to the tidy appearance of that neat village, Mr. Hooey, has got his new work- shop completed, it is finely situated for business and will doubtless some day be supplanted ty a large block. Mr. Fluke, has got fairly opened ont in his new hotel. He has thorough experience and is conversant with every department of the business, is well known to be an agreeable, oblig- ing host and a successful caterer for the comfort of his guests. The now contemplated repairs will add very much to the appearance of that vil- lage, The roads between Prince Albert and Cartwright stand in need of ex- tensive repairs, the Oshawa road in the 4th concession of Reach pleads eloquently with its bundred mouths wide as well, may be! and black and deep as the Styx good for no- thing that we know of unlets it may be to test the practicability of the hon, Alex's "Water Stretches" if mud will do as well as water. This one concession --though the others are tomewhat rich in their way--ought to be a fortune to all the Carriage Builders, Harness Makers and Doetors within hale. The road along the 2nd con. from the Oshawa road to the town line of Cartwright requires a thorough repair; a few loads of gravel on the top of the clay on the boundary line would be of great advantage and save ten times their value to the municipalities conceru- od in yearly repairs, From the boundary line right through to Williamsburg requires an enegetic overhaul. When parties go to market thoy wish to take such a load as make tho trip pay, itis by no means satisfactory to have to creep along with about a wheelbarrow load. -------- County Oouncil.--Our readers are aware that the County Council of Ontaiio has been in session yesterday and a couple of hou:s on Tuesday, but as we have full employment forall our time and as the first day or two of the session is generally taken up with preliminaries of no public interest we could not afford time to attend on these.

Gooderham, Jr Jhad purchased the Charter of the Torontoand Ottawa Rail. way but it did'not get further than rumor. At the meeting of the company held in Peterboro on Tuesday, all doubt on the mat- ter was sel aside by tho appointment of an entirely new board of directors with Mr. A Triamph of Skill. We had a visita couple of daysago from Mr. Thomas McConnell whoa few weeks ago had a very bad cancer cut out of his right cheek. The operation was performed Aikens and assistants. No one who had seen the patient when he went to the hos- pital only two or three months ago would now believe that he is the same man, the cure isso complete and the wound so neatly healed up. After several years of tortare and disfigurment and large expense in try- ing doctors here and there, he is greatly pleased at the change, satisfied that he went to the hospital and speaks in the highest terms of praise of the hospital and the skill- ful and and attentive sugeon who performed the operation. Mr. McConnell is a striking manifestation of the triumph of skill and the advantage of going to head quarters especially in extreme cases. All are greatly pleased at his return home and his [greatly improved appearance, Important Meeting. Wm. Gooderham, Esq., on behalf of the Provisional Directors of the Toronto & Ottawa Railway Company, having written a letter to the Council of Port y request- ing that Lody to pass a by-law extending the time for commencing work on the pro- posed Toronto and Ottawa Railway as the time set forth for commencement of work, in the bonus by-law would expire ere the work could be commenced, and if the time were not extended the bonus would be lost to the Company. A Mass Meeting of the ratepayers was accordingly held in the town ball, on the evening of Monday, 31st ult. The meeting having been organised, Mr. Gooderham's communication was read, when Mr. Major, seconded by Mr. M. Currie, moved that in compliance with the requested of the Provisional Directors, the fime for com- mencing work on the Toronto & Ottawa R'y be extended one year beyond the time set forth in the by-law grauting a bonus of $5000 to said Company, and that the rveve of this corporation be and he is hereby in- structed to support a motion at the County Council for a similar extension of time as regards the grouping bonus by-law. Ju speaking to his motion Mr. Major strongly urged compliance with the request of the Directors and scouted the idea of the road going by way of Lindsay, Mr, Richardson asked the chairman whether the Ontario Government would aid the road if it utilized a portion of the Toronto & Nipissing road ; or if aid would be given for the portion between Lindsty and Peter- boro provided the road went by Lindsay ? The Chairman replied that he was not in a position to answer these questions, but it appeared from the action of that Govern. ment that it is so poverty stricken as not to able to grant aid to any road. Mr. W. M. Jones said he would regret to be a party to do anything that would mili- tate against the building of the road via Port Perry, and thought the Company might if we passed the resolution before the meet- ing be in a position to go to the Northern municipalities and say; if you will come down with a good big bonus we will run the road though 4his locaiity. However, he said, until he had further light on the matter he could not support the motion.-- He was inclined to be a little skeptical in dealing with railway compawies after the experience they had with the W. P. P. & L. R'y and the $20,000 bonus to that road.-- He would like to hear from other gentle- men present, Mr. G. Currie said there were only one of two things either to grant the request to extend the time or to refuse to do so; he said if we refused we might be shut out al- together from participating in the benefits to be derived by having the foad built through this part. He said he did not be- lieve any good reason could be advanced why this road should run over the T. & N- line, neither did he believe that bonuses could be secured from the northern muni- cipalities by running the road on the line of the T. & N., the ruaningof one line of road over that of another was no great induce- ment to municipalities to grant bonuses. He said Lindsay was already pretty well sup- plied with Railways, it had already direct connection with Peterboro, and ft would not be in any better position by having the T. & O.road. The interests of Lindsay were alreddy served in that direction, from Peter- boro east they could use the T. & O. The Chairman said the back municipali- ties would be anxious to have a direct outlet to the seaboard. He was in favor of the resolution, he would go further, he would recommend the advisability of sending a D to Peterboro during the ing of the Provisional Dircctors. ie was satis- fied Uxbridge, Brock, Scott and Uxbridge Village would grant liberal bonuses to se- cure the road. Mr. N. F. Paterson said he thought the resolution before the meeting was all that was d. He said all that we can do is to act in good faith with the Com- pany and by passing the resolution we will show that we are willing to comply with a request which he did not consider was at all extravagant, and if the Company were de- termined to run the road on T & N. line or by any other route than the one provided for in the bonus by-laws 'we could not help it. By all means let us act iu_good faith with the Company, He 'was opposed to the sending of a Delegation, it could not aec- complish anything, Dr. Jones said he fully end timents expressed by Mr. Paterson. He said he was abont to make similar remarks when that gentleman took the floor. He urged the meeting to adopt the resolution. The motion was now put and carried and the meeting adjourned.

Jos Hig utvy at tho General Hospital, Toronto, by Dr. |assessment roll of the munici d the sen") Oartwright Council: ~ The members of the above council met at the town ball Willamsburg, on Monday 31st ult, at 10 am, aud having subscribed the | 81 declaration as a court of ecessary To the Reeve in the chair, to revise the pality for the present year, to hear and decide any that may have been made and to transact any other business proper to be brought before said court. The assessor's roll was now examined and found in a highly satisfactory ition. as well for the tidy manner in which it is got up, its general accuracy, the good judg- ment displayed in the toatl and the general correctness of the relative valuations. The roll does credit to that officer. Here follows the totals of the roll. Total Ratepayérs 593, number of fesilent acres 36,479. non-res acres 425, total 36,904, valtie of resident lands sessizs value of non-tes $3,400, value of personal property $35,325, taxable income $400 ; total value iF, all $722,560, numder of persons 2,014 , horses 883, cattle 1,743, sheep 1,656, bogs 850, dogs 178, bitches 2, only 2! where aro the others? The numberof children be- tween the ages of 5 and 16 is 679 divided as follows School Section Nol, 62; No 2, 98; No3, 107; Nod, 107; No, 67; Nob, 46; No 7,89 ; No8, 56 ; No 9, 69. As there were no appeals presented fo the court the sitting did not last long. There had been two appeals entered but were both withdrawn, Qn motion of Mr. Goggin, Dr. Bird'sap- plication to be entered on the sige roll as owner of a certain Cas rea was agreed to and the name rd accordingly. On motion of Mr. Goggin, the assessment roll was declared to be finally revised and to be the assessment roll of the municipality for 1880, and the Clerk Was instructed to have the necessary certificate attached as the law directs. On motion of Mr. Cowan, the court arose. The council was then organized and on mo- tion of Mr. Lattimor, adjourned for dinner. The council, resumed Mr Lattimor, ab- sent. o The minutes of the previous meeting were read and confirmed. The Reeve laid on the table a statment of receipts and expenditure connected with the liquor licenses for the County of West Durham for the year ending April 30th 1880 as furnished by the Inspectof of licenses for said County in compliance with the recently amended Act bearing on that matter. The figuers are as follows. The total amount paid for licenses within the County between 30th of April 1870 snd 30th of April 1880 was §$2,487,50. Our readers will romember that the statu- tory license for shop or tavern in towns is $80 and in villages or townships it is $60, and as Bowmanville is the only town in the County of West Durham, there only the licenses are $80 and no other licenses in the County need be more than $60 ; but there as other wheres there are municipalities so inverterately bard up that they squese a fow additional dollars out of the publick by waking shop and tavern licenses more than the amount required by law, and all the sur- plus so sponged off the shop or tavern keeper comes into thé treasury of the municipality which puts on the screws. Within the County of West Durham the amount so squeezed during the past license year is $7562.50; this is returned to the municipalities that grabbed it, Hence $2487.50 lees $752.50 leaves $1735 for pay- ing the Inspector, defraying other expenses connected with the Commissioners' and In- 2 spector's offices, amounting in all to $516 which taken from $1,735 leaves $1.219. Again from this is taken $48.31 leaving $1170.69 to be divided Into three parts $390.- 23 each, one of which parts goes to help the Mowat Government to help to pay the whisky bill of the cork screw brigade and other feasting and fuddling while the other two parts are divided among the several municipalities. A scperate statement for the municipality of Cartwright was also submitt- ed showing that there were two tavern and one shop license granted in that municipality at $60 each id all $180. From this is de- ducted $78.52 for part of the Inspector's salary und other expenses connected therewith, leaving $101.18,0ne third of which or $33.83 given to the Government and the remainder $67.65 is paid to the municpality, and this is all that the towship gets out of the $180 paid in. Hence the magnificent Crook's License Act has in the past license year as good as robbed that township out of $112.35, The Reeve laid on the table ® copy ofa of the council of the town of Bow- manville as moved by Col. Cubbitt, seconded by Mr. J. Higginbothom : That the Reeves of the several municipalities be requested to use their influence at the next meeting of the Counties' Council to obtain a grant in aid of the sufferers by the late conflagration at Hull and that the town council be also re- quested to correspond with the head of each muuicipality in the united counties urging the several councils to instruct their Reeves to support such a grant from the Counties' Council. The Reeve remarked that at this distance of time and at this season of the year he did not consider the case in any way nearly as urgent as it has been. The statements | published of the buted sppear to be confused and from the last statement he had seen it cannot be that wealthy muni- cipalities can bave given much and cer tainly he'could not see where the poorer municipalities can be expected to do much tf anything but he would leave the matter to the recommendation of the council. On motion of Mr. Goggin the option was left in the hand of the Reeve to act on the matter as he finds it prudent. Mr. Johnston came before the council asking an appropriation of $100 towards cutting down Johnston's bill. The Reeve stated that the municipal funds were not plentiful and if the hill were allowed to remain as it is for another year ae. |8 got likely todo some good might be | | obtained, the council are managing the funds of the township and parties ought not to | down the expenditure "as much as possible : In the matter of grants wherever they can be kept down without positive injury tony Cr -- "The ratepayers considered the taxes last year quite high enough and the council is deter- ined that they shall be mo higher this year all. that could given at this time would be a small grant, Mr, Goggin sai tint, that a small grant couls the hill yeas uel) d do mo good and appeal | would only be wasted, better defer giving anything till & grant can made likely to some good. Mr. Cowan that the members rE or 3 advise as tc what should be done, On ntotlon of Mr. McKee it was agreed that the council should go as-suggested. Mr. Byers came forward asking a grant on tke quarter line on the 8th con, The Reeve informed him that the council bad determined to appropriate 315 thos there and Mr. Cowan would superintend the Mr, Watson complains of having one sheep killed by dogs and sets the damage at on potioy of Mr. Goggin $5.33 wag order- ed to be paid. On motion of Mr. Goggin, an order for $* indigent aid for Mrs. Luughead was placed in the hands of H. Watson. Mr. H. McQuaid cathe befote the Council fot an appropriation on the Manvers bound- ary and he pled like a a Philadelphia lawyer. The reeve remarked that the Council could not at this time make much of a grant there, he might be willing to give $25. $30. Mr, McKee Mr. Goggin suggested would go as high as $40. On motion of Mr, Cowan an appropria- tion of $40 was made and Mr. McKee was appointed to expend the same. Mr. F. Henderson in a most eloquent appeal described the condition of three cul- verts oti his road beat as requiring imme- diate attention: On motion of Mr, Cowan, Mr. Goggin wih appointed to inspect said ctilverts and re' commend what should be done. Mr. Atkins, leader of tho Cartwright Brass Band, made application for the tise of the town hall fot band practice. The reeve asked how often they wished to use it etch week? Mr. Atkitis teplied that for four wecks they would like to have the lberty of using it whatever nights they choose. The reeve remarked that of course the Band would not occupy it to the ex- clusion 'of other parties to whom the Coun- cil wish to give it. On motion of Mr, Goggin the Band was granted the free use of the hall for practice except when the ball is required for other purposes, Og motion of Mr, Cowan; the sum of 850 rdered to be paid to Mr. McLaughlin in full of his salary as Assessor for the pre- sent year. Mr. Jeffrey came before the Council #p- plying for a grant to assist in the erection of sidewalks in the village of Williamsburg, and strongly urged the claim. Mr. Fluke advocated the grant saying that the statute labor of the village could not meet all that is necessaty and a little help would be of great advantage to the villagers and all others passing sround it; he would guarantee that whatever gritut the Council pleased to make will be expetrded to the very best advantage, He had himself furoished all the material and built the side-walk™ on the east side of the main street all. along the front of his own property down to the corner and never was allowed one day's work for it. Mr. Goggin said he would be willing to grant 2000 feet hemlock lumber ; after some discussion he changed his motion "to $20 for the supply of lumber and nails towa.ds building the said sidewalks. On motion of Mr. McKee the report of the committee on appropriations was adopted v8 follows :--$20 on the 4th con. opposite lot 3; $20 on the 4th con. opposite lot 6, $10 on the quarter line through the 5th con., the ex- penditure of the above to be made under the direction of the Reeve. The following are to be expended under the direction of Mr. Goggin :--$50 on the quarter line through the 3rd aud 4th cons. ; $15 on the 1st con E, of gravel road, $10 on the 2nd con. at Mountjoy's corners. The following are to be expended under the inspection of Mr. McKee ;--$15 on the 4th con. opposite lots 23 and 24; $10 on Manvers boundary opposite 1st con. of Cart- wright. The following are to be expended under the inspection of Mr. Cowan :--$30 on 7th con, opposite lots 12 and 13, $15 on quarter line through 8th con. E; $30 for extracting stumps. The following are to be expended under the inspection of of Mr. Lattimor :=~$20 on 3rd con. Whitfield's division, $30 on 5th con Nebitt's division, $:0 gravel rond on 3rd con.; $20 on side walks in Williamsburg, Mr. John Bryans came before the council for an appropriation for his division and complained that they in that neigborhood scarcely got justice in the matter of appro- priations. The Reeve stated that the council had carefully insp cted the wants of the several localities thiouzhout the township where they considered appropriations are required and the had done their best to aportion the appropriations fairly amongst the several localities in proportion to the requirements of snch not so much as they would have liked but soll that they were in a posi- tion to give without increasing the rate of taxation and that they are determined to avoid if possible; and many of those parties who are the first to complain of the small- ness of the appropyiations would be loudest in their complaints if the taxes were in- creased. He would remiod Mr, Bryans that bis section had $36 of appropriations last year, On motion of Mr. was instructed to notify the ccuncil of Manvers that this ae made an ap. propriation of $40 on the boundary line. On motion of Mr. McKee the Reeve grant- ed an order for $10 in favor of Wm. Mont- gomery being payment in full for a piece of land on the south end of lot 11 in the 3rd cen for the purpose of opening a rdad through the same, fe Pure Paris Green, at C. C..
