GREAT BRITAIN. The House of Commons passed on the 3rd inst.. the Atlantic Telegi apli and Property Qualification Bills. Mr. Disra- eli, in reply to a question, said there had been no rupture in the negotiation which had been opened with the Emperor at China. On the 4th, in reply to a ques tion, Mr. Fitzgerald said that the Govâ€" ernment had no official information oflhc arrest of Capt. Judkins at New York. With regard to another question put, he said the American Government had made grave charges against certain British of. ficers, but no oflicial account liatl been rc- ceived from those officers. He could only say, that if occurrences such as those complained of had occurred, they would he received with the deepth regret by the Goveimneiit, and immediate exâ€" planations given. The fulleLt informa- tion should be laid before Patliament as early as possible. Meanwhile, he had only to add, that orders had been sent 'out to the oflicers in command of the. squadron in the Cuban waters. to maki- every enquiry into the subject, and that the greatest caution and forbearance should be exercised towards vessels bear- the American flag. The papers maintain a generally conciliatory toue._ The Atlantic Telegraph fleet had reâ€" turned to Plymouth from tlwir experimenâ€" tal trip. The experiment of paying out and hauling in the cable in water nearly three miles deep, was entirely successful.

But it is not so with Politics, here, to a great extent, all is confusion and chaos. The light of other days emits but a flickering and uncertain flame. The history of Politics is too often but the narration of per- sonal conflicts, and unprincipled in- trigues, in order to gain a petty ad- vantage. ln no field of study is human Selfishness and wickedness seen so distinctly,â€"even the sacred name ofReligion and Liberty have been used by the crafty and design- ing, as cloaks under which they could mask their nefarious pract- ices. It matters not. to what g0- vernnsent we turn our eyes, whether it be the despotism of the Autocrat, or a Democracyâ€"we alike see it to be the aim of the few to enrich themselves at the expense of the many. True. some of these differ- ent systems have splendid theories, which, if carried fully into practice, would amelorate the condition of humanity; yet, there are found practices as apposite to these theories as night and day, even in those governments which approach the nearest to the true slandard. There will be found some startling and disgraceftl. incongruitics Eng- land has a proud and upstart aristo- cracy, living in almost fabulous luxury as opposed to the most squalid poverty. The United States have, as a theory, all men are equal; yet she is stained With the hell-spot of slavery, marring and disfiguring her otherwise not unlovely counten- ance. Our own Canada has a go- vernment professedly responsible to the people, but who that has read of its Elzction Briberies, Railway Job- bings and Official Criminality, but must blush for shame at the recital of such gross wrongs ; and, even up to the present moment. these things exist. Such incongruities have al- ways existed, it is true, but we can- not believe that the all wise Deity ever intended man thus to be the sport of his fellow-men. Man was endowed with intellectual vigour in order to make him happy, and we firmly believe that it is his own fault if he is not so. Although history is an uncertain guide on many Politicial subjects,yet, to our mind, the successes and failures of the past teach us this all important lesson: that it is the pres- sure ofa people without that keeps agovernment honest, for a wise and intelligent people will alone be pos- sessed of rulers who Will do their duty. We wish each of our readers to take this fact home with him .â€" “ That fools alone are the game which knaves pursue.” And that if there are crying abuses in our midst, it is because the masses act on passion and predjudice, in- stead of listening calmly to reason. The masses want to read more and think more than lhev do, and just in proportion as the the people them- selves have jusxer conception of their duties, rcsponsihililcs and pri- vilegesâ€"in that propellion will a nation prosper and hard times be- come less frequent guests. This argument hold good not only in Politics, but also in the Social, Physical and Re '"ious relationship in which we stand. We have, as Journalists, com- menced a new anniversary, and we feel it our duty thus to tell our thoughts. There are many quesâ€" tions 01 great importance now agi- tating the public mind to arrive at a wrong conclusion. may be a great catastrophe. \Ve have the power in our hands of rectifying every abuse and wrong.

Other studies have their data upon which to build a;tolerable superstructure.

They can trea- sure up the experience of the past. and reduce it to the rule of practice at once ; and each fresh discovery either confirms old established rules, or sheds additional lustre on some new one. fl," Mr. W.

His slanderous charges against Orangemen have been masterly ex- posed by our numerous correspon- dents. The falsehoods lhere proved against him ought to overwhelm him with shame. We will give one specimen, taken from the Eco- nomist of May 20. Reesor says :â€"â€" “Last week John McNeely. an Orange- mnn. was convicth of wilful and corrupt perjury. The verdict had scarcely been de- livered before some half dozen petitions were put in circulation by the members of his lodge. praying that the judge might pro- nounce a light sentence against him. Every body knows how easy it 'is to get a petition signed; and the effect was to limit McNeely's punishment to three months’ imprisonment and $100 fine. Rospeclable Orangemen. with whom we have convened, are becoming ee- rieusly alarmed. and very naturally aslt whe- ther there is any crime {mm which the main- bms of the order do not feel bound to screen a brother? They say their obligation re- quires uuthing of_the kind; yet such we see i; the practtcaT influence on a majoritv of the members. that even the County Master. Wil- liam Button. was most active in circulating a petit.on to lighten the punishment of the heinous crime of perjury, and. we regret to any. that some of these petitions were signed by ministers of religion and magistrates.” The following week we received a communication, to which the Economist replies, never however disputing the facts, but merely scribbles a few lines in defence of his title, “The face ofOrangemen,” which he finds much easier than to refute the facts herein stated :â€" In this Wide world of ours there are many curious animals, both of the quadruped and biped species, and amongst these there is none more peculiar than the Chamelion; its chief pecularity consists in the fact of its skin assuming ditferent hues according to the circumstan- ces in which it is placed. We think that the principles that go- vern the Economist Editor, (if he has any,) very much resembles the skin of the atoresaid animal. He always endeavors to accommodate himself to wind and weather, re- gardless alike of truthfulness and honesty. To attempt to trace him through all his dishonest manmu- vres would be both tedious and un- profitable; we will confine our- selves to a few quotations taken at random from the Eeonom'st of the past two months, his last issue in- cluded. The public will at once perceive that his course is that of a contemptible trickster. For the dis- cussion on the Collector and As- sessorship and Separate School questions, we. refer our readers to our editorial of the 21st of May, to which the Economist never re- plied, for there we convicted him of the grossest falsehoods and aa- lumuies. “He mentions the fact of a. young man named John McNeely, an Orangenian. being convrcted of perjury at the last Assizes in Toronto, and then deliberately states that the verdict was Scarcely delivered. when some half dozen petitions were put itt circulation by the members of his lodge. praying that the judge might pronounce a light sentence upon him. and continues. that even William M. Button was most active in procuring sig- natures for one of the petitions. and regrets to say that some were signed by ministers of religion. and magistrates. Now. sir, tltat the members of McNeely’s lodge put six petitions in circulation on his behalf. or that Mr. But;on took a most aclite part in the matter. Is utterly false, us will be clearly seen from facts 1 am about to relate. Mr. Button being in Toronto when McNoely was convicted. was in contqu with Chris- tian Reason J.

We wish our readers to watch the cur- rent of events. We shall write on the various questions at issue, courting no man’s favor, and fear- ing no man’s frown. We desire to do our duty, regardless of conse- quences, feeling assured that the public will appreciate our honest endeavors. We shall make it our special business to urge the people to think and act for themselves.â€" Look not to this party or that party. Education we look upon as the grand want of the age. Let it be more and more widely diffused.â€" Other things then will followin the train. But we shall ever hold education to be a first and foremost link in the chain of progress, as we feel that abuses will never cease till we get a wise and an intelligent people. REESOR A CHAMELION. Talk about the chamelion chang- ing his skin; why, that's nothing to compare with the many dodges and disgraceful twists ofthis aspir- ingyouth,â€"he is quite a prodigy. Bowman could make a fortune out of this camel and political jockey. We wish to observe that we fully believe Mr. Bowman to be a man- ly, honest and straight-forward gentleman ; and, even on the road question, we fully acquit him of any dishonest intent. We firmly believe that he thinks himselfjusti- fied in the course he has pursued. But, we have no doubt, that he will treat with scorn the insult eonveyed in the compliment paid to him by the political juggler. \Vhat is the meaning of the sentence ? why, just this : That Mr. Bowman is an honest man where his own interest is not interferred with, but is dis- honest if it is. What a. splendid compliment to pay Mr. Bowman. If this is praise, we should like Mr. Reesor to define an insult. Mr. Bowman is, however, too highly esteemed, both as a man and a councillor, to be injured either by the frowns or caresses of this noted chainelion. “ Take Mr. Bowman ofi‘ Illa road question. and he Isa fair Councillor. what cannot be said of eilller ol |he other two.” It will be observed that he calls us dishonest thimble-riggers, no exception, but now, on June 10, he admits that one ofthe parties is an honest man, he says :-- And again, in the same issue, speaking of the same parties, he says:â€" “ ‘Ve believe they were deceivedâ€"growsiy deceived at the lam municipal electionâ€" We shall therefore watch the dodges 01' the ihimble riggers. and lay them bare to !he public, and then let that public judge {or them- selves, and say whether they would prefer honesty or dishonesty in their public servants.” Was ever reply more pitiably‘ weak and contemptible. He offers no proof but merely heaps assertion on assertion. We suppose he goes'on the Multiplication Table principle, namely: that two lies make one truth; and in this way (lawyer like) he strives to make the worse ap- pear the better cause. As to the slander on Wm. Button, Esq. We reply that when Reesor penned them he must have been taking a peep at the looking-glass, and thus it was the rellcclloll of his own physiognomy, for “ ask any man who knows Mr. let'sorf whether he would not deny anything he has ever said or done provided it suited his purpose 9” and we venture to say thatthe answer would be: Yes, he would not 0111} deny anything and everything he has ever said or done, but he. would double the sin by swearing to it. We nnw hastily glance at his next dodge, namely: the endeavor to soft-soap Mr. Bowman. The following are his remarks on Messrs. Button, Trudgeon and Bowman, April 29m :â€" On April 29th, the Economist says :â€" "One of their Collectors, it would appear from a communication we published from the Treasurer last week, sl‘lll holds in his hands more lhan $1000. of the taxes of last year. The School Teachors. especiudy, want their money, but none is to be had. although five months have passed since lhn Collector should havo paid in lhe money ; but this pre- c'iuus trio of‘ Councillors must be served. and .. “um. uw umvuu, uuu the model Collector. being nu important plank in 1he bridge by which at least one of the Councillors gained his oleclion. must. be al- lowed to use the people’s hard turned taxes five months My it shuuid have been paid into the hands of the Treasurer‘” At the last Council meeting Mr. Button very satisfactorily proved. that so far from being an alder and abettor in the charge, that he had even instructed the Treasurer, some months ago, to prosecute the Col- lector’s bondsmen; and, when the " Jllbt so in our Township Council.

If Button is so much ashamed of his connec- tion with that petition. whv did he. at the time he circuialud it, represent himself as its author. which he undoubtedly did? Who. ever wrote it. he was the instigatnr. But now. since the move appears unpopular, he is ready to deny any connection with it. But his denial is nothing. Ask any man who knows him whether he would not denr. in the same way. anything he has ever said. or done, provided it suited his purpose for the time.” mist to teach them the I:Iul3~ they have go pel- orm towards their fallow-men, especially as he seems 10 have no legmd fur lrulh. so lei him in fulure. hold his peace." " As regards Blmon’s connection with the “ McNeely Petition." what we plated is es- sentially true in allils principul features.â€" We have it from men whose veraciw will um And, again, from another cor- respondent we receive the follow- ing, viz :â€"â€"â€" “ Well. the next afl‘uir is that of John McNeelv. Hear what he says:_uLasl week. Juhn McNeely, an Orangeman, was convicted of wilful and corrupt perjurv- The verdict had scarcely been delivered. before some half dozen pentions were put in circula. lion by the r‘nembcrs‘of his Lodge." Now this is 'a most barefflcc‘d lie. for lhé’re was not a petition go! up by any member of [he Lodge. And. further. he says lhere \vme some half dozen peiiiions. There were but two pelilions out, and the men that got them up are not Orangomen; neither were they ever inside or an Orange Ludge. Further, he goes on (a say that the County Muster. William Bul- lon. was most active in simulating a petition. This is false: I‘m-I do not think there were one om of \en in our Lodge that signed the pelilion." It will be soon at once that the charges are utterly denied, accom- panied with the most undeniable facts. But listen to the base man- nerinwhich he endeavors to main- tain his position, in his number for June 10th :â€" quicnliou we published from the st week, Mi” holds in his hands $1000. of the taxes of last year. Teachars. especiuJy, want their On Monday the 14th in>t., the mem- bers of the Rising Star Division, held a grand soiree. The day was exceedingly h w, the company both numerous and res- pectable. The speakers were the Rev. R. Swinton, Mr. Garton. Mr. E. Cars- well, &0. The aflair went off in first rate style. The speaking was excellent and gave universal satisfaction. Mr' E. Carswell, of Oshawa, added cunsrderably to the interest: of the soiree, by exhibiting his celebrated Panorama of the bottle. We think the panorama a real SPlt'lHlltl affair, the paintings is well executed, and exhibits in a Very forcible manner the dangers of imtemperance. We think such Panorama’s of the greatest utility. The Uuttonrille Brass Band was also en- gaged for the occasion and we were both delighted and astonished at the rapid imâ€" provement they are making under the able tuition of Mr. \Vilson, their talented leader ; their playing was the theme of universal praise, and reflects great credit to both themselves and their Teacher. We think that the Committee otmauagr- uncut deserve the thanks of the public for their spirited and judicious management. \Ve have had frequent complaints late- ly. that our papers are (19111de at the dif- ferent ofBCts an unreasonable time. “'0 know not where the fault lies, but We hope that Postmastors will see and forâ€" ward the Paper as curly as possible, we have had numerous complaints from Mark- ham Village, Lemonville and Belford.

Ml-Leod may be proud of having the command of such a company. TRAINING AT RICHMOND IIILL It will be seen, by referring to the new advertisements, that Mr. Wheeler has opened a store in our village for the sale of Clonks and W’alchcs, and also for the reparing of old ones. We wish him success. PARLIAMENTA RY SUMMARY Hon. Mr. SIMPSON brought up the third report of the Printing Com- mittee, and spoke in favor of the recommendations it contained for reducing the cost of Printing. And this is the man who wishes to be elected an M.P.P. Goodness knows, we have quite enough of unprincipled men there, without adding to the list. There are many other points we should have wished to remark upon, but the above are sufficient to convince any candid mind. We would advise Mr. Reesor to play the man, if he Wishes to be esteemed, or to extend his reputation. Let it not be stained with falsehood and slander. We have presented our readers with a few specimens (out of very many) of this vane-like Politican’s course. We have no doubt but that our readers have long ago been fully aware of the many thimble-rigs and shifts to which the Economist has resorted. We shall watch his various dodges, and, if occasion require, shall again hold him up to public scorn. We are glad that so many Orangemen and others have come forward and exposed his misstatements; they will do well to watch the manucevres ofthis aspiring youth ; for he, On Tuesday the 22nd instant, the Newton Stewart Division, 8. of T. will hold their second annual Soiree, between the 8th and 91h Con. of Whitchurcli. The Victoria Brass Band has been engaged. The Montreal Grey Nuns Pro- perty Bill was read a third time and passed. “Further on. the Tribune mnkes a boast, that Button. 5 month ago. told the Treasurer to prosecute Marr’s securities But did he really mean it? Not a bit ofit. Ask the Transurer whether he understood Mr, Button really to menu that ha sh uld prosecute, or whether he regarded it as a mere hasty ex- pression. and he will tellyou the latter was the interpretation he put upon it." We really feel ashamed to expose the Economist by republishing his disgraceful and unmanly reply, but we owe a duty to the public to ex- pose such dishonest, unprincipled trickery ; it ought to make Mr. Reesor blush for shame. On June 10th, he thus wri\es :â€" Treasurer intimated his intentions to Mr. Reesor he advised him not to do so. The report was concurred in LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL TO POST M ASTE RS. DEMONSTRATION.
