We have feared that it is the in- tcntiou to protect Dr. Landtrkiu's election and that the case will be en- tered within a fuw Jays, if it lias not already hern cluiir. I'jioii what grounds this is to be done our infor- mant dots not say, and in the absence -of such information it is not possible '10 discuss the matter ab fully as wo would like to. We will say this much, however : Bo far as The Advance is able to judge it is not the < Conservative party m South Grey as a whole who are thug going headlong into what appears to us, in absence of evidence to the contrary, a moat ill- advised legal contest. The meeting which was called in Durham for Thursday last could not possibly be called a representative one, as no notification had been given to those Hiving outside the town of Durham. 'Thin .paper protests against being : i'Uein'.J u Uii. leading strings of the cotou <u"f nwlii young men who appear to bo unxioiifl fur nothing so much as to further umuarras the Orrscrvativt cause m South Gri-y. It looks at this distance siuiply as though a cast' were being worked up fur the Hake of granting a job to boinc iuipocunious lawyer. We hope this t not true, but it looks mightily like it.

Kveii if such v.-i n proven the advantaxes accruing from u<;h a course would be of a very doubtful nature. As natters tiro nii'l.Tstootl at this side of the tiding, tin sympathy of Con.servativis with <hc Durham warr.ora is not worket" up. to fevn heat, and they will look with dittfitvur ii|)uii the course taken, until convinced more fully than we bc'iovo they can be, of its justifi- ability. tho government to refund thin yeai to tire municipalities interested 20 per cent, o'f the lan'd Improvement fund, with interest from 1807 and possibly from 1868, at 6 per cent. The amount which would fall to Artemisia's snare would be at this rate |2768, with the interest added. It ia to be hoped that premier Mowat will not go back 011 this good resolution. It is within the probabilities that a two-cent postal rate will be accorded to the people of Canada during the coming session of parliament. Tliere is a universal desire on the part of the people to secure this boon, and it is hoped and believed their wishes will be respected. The fall wheat has stood the winter well, and at present bids fair to be a good crop. DltlNK AND CHIMK.
