We werd well aware that the time for {he commencement of the brancli from the P. WW. & P. P. R. in the direction of the Viliage ot Uxbridge expired on the 23:d of January 1873, but we have always re- garded that branch as of much more im- portatice'to the ratepayers of the township of Reach than the P. W. & P. P. R. would ever be, besides it was on the strength of this branch that the supprrt of the western rari ol the township was secured for the mein line, and it would have been a breach ol laith hal any undue advantage been tak- en to ut rid of the brunch by the rest of the township ; neither would we now ad- vocate uny course which would tend 10 de- priveithe western, portion of 'the . townehip of the benefits-ansiog from thie branch.-- We were not 12norant of the base witempt ode. Paxton--insugated by the Ring----to leprive, toh the East snd West of the township of any benefit arising from the branch, Taking advantage of the position ilf which the peop'e of Resch had placed the audacity to ask for ani thve cunning to secure al the hends of the Government an Amendment to the Charter of the P. W. & P,P. R, Coy containing the following clanse :-- # Tne said Port. Whitby and Port Perry Railway Company and their servants. shall linve toll power and ankority to co and extend the construction of their railway to such point npon the waters of Lake Sim- doe mt or near Beaverion, as they may mn their discretion select, by such course as to the directors of ths said company may seem eXpadieni; and also in the same manner to lay out, esustruct and build a branch of such railway from such pait thereof as the direciors of the said company may choose, ato w at is known as the village of Ux- brige.*" So that the famous Uxbridge branch, il Paxton and the Ring get their way of it, woul take a cnuree which would benefit no part of Reach, East or West, ns by the above infamous section the branch need not pass Wjough acy part of the town- ship of Reach. * ! We were not unmindful of the inferests of the township of Reach when this famous epdment was being poshed through, -- Wa. touk the tiouble, In company with one cf the Auditors, 1o'go 1b the 1hén Reeve of the mumopa'ity and advike him 1a 1ake thy negessary [steps to block Mr, Paxton and the Ring in their bass attempt to fur- her ieee prion of ihe township and rather tlio ve thy Branch done away with than to have the amendmert carry. The Reeve promise. io act in the matter, but he either negleoted 10 fulfil his promise or failed in the attempt, for he amendment carried with tha shove clause. Thuis was in the Session | of 1868 and 9. The amended Act was as- sénted 10 on the 23rd Jan'y, 1869. _ Again in the Session of 1872, Mr. Pax- ton as mouth-piece of the Ring applied for and obtained a farther amendment to their Charter ; section 2nd of which sets forth that the time limited for tha com. fencéement of the extension of the Railway to vhe waters of Lake Simcoe and of the ®ianch ino Uxbriiige, shali be extended till the 23«d Janbary, 1873, to 4, The Tact of the time for both the exten- sion and thé branch having expired was well known to at [east nineleen out of every twenty of the people of Reach, but Knowing (hat the branch and the exten- © 10 Ranch than the sarap already But, und knowing thet Mr. Paxton had agma moved for a further amendment we, und we sus: _peetanal the people in general wera will: Pr 'that the extension and the branch 'should gb on and consequently let Paxton take his 89 ing.

WA & P. P. RB. Riog have suc. ceeded means or other ih induc-- ing the Ontario Government to miake a grant of $42,000 towards that road. If tke provinee at large is willing to submit t+ otly such Coirse of reckless expenditure we oeed mot complain of the amount ; but Greraments like individuals ought to be fust before they are generous. When that road was before the municipalities seeking assistance, it was not espected that it should receive any government aid. The propagandists painted ihe scheme in the most glowing colors, speaking of grand station-houses and necessary fixings for freight and" passenger traffic, Amizingly increased faeilities for all kinds of trafic, and ab addition of at least 3 cents on ev- ery bushel of wheat sold in the township in consequence of the low rate at which grain would be eorried from the several stations. And as a matter of course tle value of property in the téwnship wou'd be increased in a similar ratio. That was not all, for the propagandists asserted that whatever increa-¢ in the value of property might take place in Port Perry would tend to lower the amount of taxes throughout the township of Reach, as far at lea as the reilway tax was concerned, as Port Perry would continue to pay aa equal rate per dolar on all her property for railway purposes, paying as wuch -per dollar as Reach would pay so that any avgmenta- tion of property in Port Perry would tend to lessen tbe railway tax in Reach. With these somewhat flattering prospects ahead the people of the township went in for a grant of $40,000--830,000 for the main line and $10,000 for the branch. No sooner however was the bonus secured than the Ring began to exhibit the bol- lowness and worthlessness of all tkeir fine promises, heir gilded baubles began to turst one after another until every vestage of the golden prospect bad been swept away and the people of Reach found-- whep it was 100 late--1bat they had been lepnipg on a broken reed, that the Ring bad only meant to deceive, and dozzled 10 blind ; in tact the whole campaign was based upon a tissue of falsehood. Through the truckling and deception of the Ring they rendered it impossible to bave the road finished at the time they promised the municipalities that they would bave it done But do they come and acknowledge their fault # Not mueh! ' Seo far from sc- knowledging ' their trick they had the insolence to demand from the towaship an additiomal sum for the time which the road was behind in it§ colistruction; shd by some legal rascality or bogus equity they enforced this additional amount. The route had already been fixed in such a way as to deprive Prince Albeit .snd Man- chester, and through them the rest of the towaship, from participating directly or in, directly in the benefits of ike road, should there be anys Bat in order to prevent the possibility of any business being done at the Manchester or Prioce Albert sta= tions every facility for freipht trafic was carefully excluded. This had the desired effect and business men were alinost com pelled to leave the township and take up heir residence in Port Perry and other wheres, and alceddy ai least 840,000 have been removed from the assessment roll of the township of Reach and placed on the assessment roll of Pert Perry iti conse- quence of parties removing from he for: mer into the later. But the railway and other necessary expenses must be main tained by Reach, and as parties move out the burden will fall more heavily on those that'are left. One would have thought that under these circumstances even tle railway fing would have felt that ihey had done enongh (0 injure the ratepayers of Reach'and would be satisfied With the pillage which they bad made of the muni eipality ; but whoever dreams of satisfying uosérupulous 'rings by trying 'to shame them by offering them all, will come to his sepses when they have swallowed all and turn upon bim and ask more. The present Government of Ontario mn dealing with the matter of municipalities' indebtedness agreed to a sort of general scramble, Onie of the articles of the scheme --if it deserve the name--is that railways such as the P. W. & P. P. R. which bave no claim to the Government allowande would be assisted indirectly, in this way. Timt 81,000 a mile should be be allowed for all such roatls ; but that in pluce of giving i to the railway' company h | it should be distriboted amongst the muni= cipalities which had aided 'tbe road in proportion to the amouot of aid given by each; When his rosofution became known the town of Whitby and the town ips of Whitby and Reach naturally be | got to igure up bow much each would ource. The town of] $10,000, Whitby a --_. Inunicipalities of their just rights by giving the money to the railway Ring and thus cheating these municipatities out of anoth- er large sum and puttiog it into the pockets of those who have already fleeced these municipalities out of thousands of dollars: The member for North Ontario was made cat's paw in the matter and certainly he scratched bard, and made some wild state. ents ; of course these were not needed to secure the spoils--that was evidently part of a private hargain--but they were conYevient a3 a ¥nake believe, and some people will spread consideralily when they can secure part of the dpoil. But the Ring do not stop here ; not satisfied with deceiving the people, defrauding the mun- icipalities once and again they add insult to injury by seeking to insult, through their organ, aH those municipalities whom they have so bavely wrongeds The or gen is fairly jubilant over the plunder and wgkes itself sim ly ridiculous in trying . to be funny over it. "It appears to scout the idea that ¢ thimble-rigging" and "lying" bad anything to do in securing the plun. der ; and like the Mormon Saint's de stroying angel the unfortnnate orgsn flies on its mission of Wrath to destroy all who raise their finger against the Ring and ity plunder. The Ring is evidently unfortun ate in its organ grinders they are only making bad ! worse! and exposing them selves ard their organ to further contempt, Draw off your curs Ringsters, and do not make yourselv-s any further ridiculous. ----etl 4 -- ee A DISTINCTION WITHOUT A DIFFERENCE. To our issue of the 13th inst., in refer- ring to the amount of capitation to which Reach would lay claim if the $2 a head arrangement of the Ontario Government were carried out, we stated hat a portion of the atotnt thus coming to Ws would bave to be paid over to Pert Perry, and stated that the population of thar village at the time of the census, was somg eight or nine huadred. We had inadveriaptly confined our estimate 10 Port Perry proper, Without Mciuding ker suburbs, north, south and west. For this, one of our Port Perry friends takes us to tack and almost insinuate that we would like to deprive them of part. of that which ought to come to them, and threaten to bring us to time on the matter. We distinctly repudiate ay such im- putation, we would not willingly wrong the good folks of Port Perry of one dollar ; end so far from having to squeeze their fair share 'out of Reach; there will not be the slightest necessity for that. Reach will willingly give them their fair share and more, as she has done before. If the pressure hinted at means arbitra- tion Reach will prefer giving up the whole and allow Port Perry to take it all snd dave Reach the enagrin of giving up the whole, her own share and ail, and paying the cost of the arbitration besides. FOSTER'S LAST HOURS, Tt is no part of our intention to enter into any sickening details of the last hours of this unlortunate bu guilty man. Our read- ers will remember that about two years ago this Foster while riding fn one of the New York street cars teased and insulted two lady passengers on the same car. A gentleman cailed Potnam interlered for their protection and caused Foster to desist which so enraged him 1hat walching his opportunity when Putnam got out of the ca he (Foeter) struck him two blows on the head with a heavy iron weapon and killed him. Foster was apprehendel, and after nearly two years butiling, qmbbling and legal fedcing ihe prigoner was found guilty of murder and sentenoed 10 be havged.-- Here again a Iresh display of legal rpsning was employed and eVery hilinan effort pm forth to let the guilly eséope. Hut lhe majesty of the law was vindicated by Fos- ter's execution on Friday last. This ougbt 10 be a solemn warning to thé vicious and biood-thirety. Here 8 miserable man who, to gratify a devilish propensity for revenge; by one fatal stroke ruined the prospects and destroyed the peace of 411 connected with himself and his victim, while he himsei! spent two long dreary years hell on earth and clueed it on the scaffold. / ee eee § eer A Novi IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION On the 24th Mr. Young (South Water- 160) presented to the House of Commons, the petition from the Canadian Press As. sociation, praying for: the abolition of postage on newspapers, Surely there is oot a member in the House, especially of county constituencies, who will withhold bis active support from a measure of so mich iinportance to bis constitvents. : TE * A VALUABLE HORSE LOST.

On the 19:% that "everlasting license ques'ion' wal 'again introduced for ils decofid reading. "4'he mover, Mr. Crooks, went into the nafir® snd sim of the bill. The feelings of members were decided- ly in favor of something being dove with a view to tightening the Hcense screws, Mr. Farewell went in for the strictest rules possible and much bigher license fees. "Mr. Grange Yecommends Government appointed Inspectors as well as local ones. M¢. Sexton would take the license from shops. In fact groceries were at a dis count. Dr. Clarke wants io reduce bar practice to a square stand up driok, a simple "mat-- ter of fact, prosy concern; he would ex- clude all billiard-tables, or any games of amusement, not even newspapers should be allowed near a tavern. He made one capital suggestion, this Was Yo fine both the purchi¥er and tbe seller in rhe 'case of unlicensed dealers. The bill wad Feud a second time." | On the e-timates being again brought vp the item of $43,000 for the purpose of immigration came in for a little invesiiga-- tion, 'The idea of Oatario paying the extravagent amount of $11,000 in one year for the rent of balls wherein onr im. migration agents may display their elo- quence in dilating on the sugerior advan tages offered to imiigranty in the province of On'ario, was considered ouirageous. We consider that Mr, Louder Was not far astray when he suggested that our agents being paid $150 a month, ard 84 a day for Traveling expenses, might well pay for any [all they would be charged for, as most places would be willing 10 give the use of their hills free of char.e. We think that the fewer lectdres some of our agentd attempt the better will it be for their own reputation, for the credit of the pt vince and the good of immigration Our immigrati~n agents should bave been strictly forbidden to attempt anything in way of lecture, not only fur their own sakes but for the credit of the province ; or if they will lecture, whether or no, let them, for the credit of the province, say that they are from the Sates, and that will do more to check immigrasion in that quarter thait aby ciher plan thit oti be adopted. Mr. Bethune succeeded in la-hing him self into a fury and the [House into con- fasion in his raving ower the ¢ frauds' falsehoods and * lies" as he plensed to term some of the ehtries made by the late Gogerameg in the public accounts.

At their presect gushing rate of liberality, to friends, the sign ol the surplus will soon have to be changed from plus to minus, The third reading of the bill to incorpor- :te the Loyal Orange Institution occupied a large portion of the silting on Monday, Mr. McDonald leading the friends and Mr. Fraser the enemijes of the measure, who were much more numerous {han one misht reasonably expeet, in fact it would be J:fli- cult to say why eny one pretending to the slightest respect for the glorious principles of protestantism, and the stability of civil and religivus liberty should sgek to oppose the incorporation of an institution whose aims and desires are all for the protection land stability ¢f our most cherished, and most worthy institutions, When dur coun try, ofr institutions, our religion end our liberties have been assailed who Would you find marching forth, for tt éir defence, in the loremdst ranks of danger's dark ca- reer 1 the members of the Loyal Orange [ustitution.

The propery 'ualification and the nomination day are the saine in the new ab in the old _bill.-- Most stringent clauses are inserted for the prevention and punishment of every attempt at bribery and corruption. The system of open voting is still preserved in the new bill but rhe clause is so (ramed as 10 be easily changed if the House should refer adopting the Ballot. From all ap- earance thik will be an important bill and just such a measure as the country re- quires. Hon. members bad a fively time of§t on the 24'h over the peritich against Mr. Wilkes, member for Centre Toronto, TkLe petition was presented on the 15th day from the spening of the House and the Opposition demurred at its reception, declaring that the 14 days 'allowed by the Act Tor the presentation of such petitions having expired ere the petition was pre~ sented that said petition could not be act- ed upom. The Government side asserted that the petition was in time, us the day of assembling did not count, and therefore should be received. After a liberal display of parliamentary fencing the parties clinched end the Gov-- ernment was flcored, there being 76 against the reception of 'the petition and only 72 for.it, Mr. Wilkes, of Centre Toronts, todesily asked the Governtnent if it was intended, during the preseut session, to introduce [ree postal delivery in cities and towns. We wonder if this is all that cities wish? It is not too much for the rate~ pavers throughout the country to pay postage even on newspapers but our city Trieds, who get nearly all that iy going, must hove their postal delivery free. Mr. Bodwell moved in the matter of a prohibitory liquor law for the Dominion, He certainly placed the matter in a strony MUNICIPAL INDEBTEDNESS, The revised lists for the distribution of these funds have again been placed in the hands of hon. members and have every ohance of keeping theit eyes ou the paper for some time to come. Some of the muni- cipalities came out fat on the better terms. Thorah is credited for $22,000 of railway al'owance and Scott for $1,680, The for- wher for its bonus to the Mid'and, and the fatter to the Nipissing. This may be all good as far as il goes but we would like to know why the township of Brock und other municipalifies 'which contributed towards the constraetiot 3F railways shoild not have qa fair share 1: the allowance Tor taitways, Brock gave $50,000 of a bonus to the Nip- fesing and what advantage is it to Brock, ab a township, that he railway company got a graut from government? had no grant been given Brock would not have given ane cent mcre and those portiona of the road on which no grant was given ve- Teived a8 mich benbfit from the grants given to ihe other portions as those Helped portions received. Uxbridgé qd Brock each gave $50,000 for the same "oad, a ment aid, that thropgh Brotk did receive Governmen aid. No one, we think, wil) assert that the fact of "the portion ihrough Uxbridge getting no Governmétt aid in- jured the people of thé township, or that the portion passing though Brock getting government aid was any special advantage to tlie people of Brock, inasmuch as it was the entire road and not any special munici- pality which would be effected injoriousty or otherwise by giving or withholding gov- ernment aid. So that every municipality which has granted a bonus towards the construction of any railway has a perfect right tn receive in proportion to the bonus given irrespective of government aid to the whale or any portion of eaid roads. The scheme is slill in a most eiiile state. "Fit aT NONQUON. Dewart's Hotel, Nonquon, with nearly all its tontents was destroyed by fire on Sabbath last. Mt.
