SUBSClunh} FOR The York Herald, $1,00 a year, A few weeks since, we called the at- tention of the ratepayers of the county, to the coming elections, and urged upon their consideration the necessity of mak- ing the separation question, a test one, at the polls. As within a few days their decision will have been rendered, and the power to control the county legisla- tion, hawe passed rf'or another year com- Qnmfiwlry out of their hands, we need safer no apology for again endeavouring ‘to impress upon their minds the impor- tance of the issues that depend upon the character and principles of those nhom they are about to elect as their represen- tatives for the ensuing year. RICHMOND HILL. DEC.29, 1865 It is now nearly nine months since the ‘ agitation for a separation of the county, ‘ from the city, ostensibly commenced.‘ Long previous it!) that, however, as is evident from MLiGraham’s resolution in ‘ the county council, and from the scheme ‘ of county separation, advocated by our northern frienfis, the conviction was general among those who had reflected upon the subject, that our connection with the city neatly increased our expen- m, deprived on! morals, .and acted as a serious hindrance to our internal pro- gress. Hozv fuin this conviction was Substantiated,.by the subsequent finan- cinl investigation, on which the resolu- tions passed at the various public meet- ings were'vhascd, has been proved by the readiness with. which the petition;. pray- ing for wtibn, was signed), where ever it was3>msented.. First, thati our yearly expenses, raised- hy direct taxation, now reaeh the enorâ€" mous sum $26,083, or aboutfortyâ€"five cam upewhead; while those of other seen-ties, of nearly equal wealth 'and population, do not reach one-half the amount ; for instance, Halton and Lamb- ton each pay little over $5,000, or about twentyâ€"two cents per head. It is true these counties have less‘ population than York ; but if their population was doubled, and their present rate of expen- diture increased proportionately, the case would not be altered. There is no good reason 'Why our expenses should be some $15,000 in excess of theirs, but there is a very evident reason why they are so ; and that reason is, our disastrous con- nection with the city. Since the sonclusions then arri’vedfit have nevei-Zbeen weakened, and are, or ought. to be, a: powerful element influenc- ing the decision of voters, we take the liberty of reoapitulating them, as incenâ€" tives to renewed energy. VThat this is no mere reckless assertion, brief reference to the state of things in respect to salaries, mileage, courts and jurors, in this county, will suffice to prove. On account of Toronto being the cOunty seat, most of our ofiicials re- side there, and therefore require and re- ceive salaries extravagantly out of pro- portion with the services rendered: Here alone is a dead loss of fifty per cent. to the county, besides producing endless in- convenience, and causing additional ex‘ reuse to others. In the matter of mile- both, as clearly traceable to the fact of the county town being at one extremity of the county. ‘ Again. our courts are notoriously long and tedious. County @jrs are carelessly setaside to await city convenience. Four and. sometimes five weeks are taken up in: transacting when that need notlw-occupytwo.’ 5md age, our case is no better. Expense and incomvenicnog, without the slightest com- mensuramubenefit, meet us on the very threshold of our examination. Both are clearly double What they should be, and fill): 13m firmib.

They need not care, certainlyâ€" the county pays and pays handsomely, and the longer the better. We need scarcely say, that separated from the city all this would be changed. The business of our courts would then be properly attended to, as it is not now, and being freed from the present compli- cation, would be more directly within ken of the people. \Vhy not have a separation then ? or who are the objec- tors? and what are their reasons? Verin we know not. Conscious weak- ness mercifully obscures them and their arguments. Second,â€"â€"It was shown that the county l property in the city is worth over $150; ‘ 000, and would, if advantageously dis- posed of, realize more than sufficient to erect our county buildings, and pay our expenses for some years besides I “'0 have sufficient confidence in the gentle- ‘ men who prepared the report from which the above condension is taken, to accept it as sound. \Vhat then becomes of the objection that separation would increase our expenditure beyond our swings ? It has no foundation, and is but another of thosersmpid old-fogyisms, which ypeo‘plc give credence to when they are too lazy or too prejudiced to think. The objection, that the removal of the county business from Toronto would cause inconvenience, since it would no longer admit of two birds being killed with the same stone, that is, of market- ing and county business being done at the same time, is the met-est nonsense, Not one in a hundred of the rate-payers are called to the city on county business once in the your, and furthermore, if he hasthe misfortune to be a juror, it is just atthe time when he has no marketing to do, and can least afford to be away. Under these circumstances is this rigma- role about inconvenience worth consider ing “ilxat plainer case do we want? Con- nection with the city burdens us with expense and trouble, separation will be a certain remodyâ€"-â€"is within our reach, and carries not a. single disqualifying circumstance along with it. One more reason and we have done. Separation will save our county prison- ers from the ruinous contamination of the city graduates in crime, with whom they are now associated. We hope this fact will weigh With those for whom the dollar and dime side of the question has but little interest. It ought to weigh heavily with all ; for surely, nothing can be more lamentable, than that those sent to jail for punishment and reformation, in many cases guilty of only some slight misdemeanor, should come out worse ‘ than ever, corrupted, hardened, and havâ€" ing a more positive bras towards crime. If separation would do nothing more than rescue county prisoners from that sink of' iniquity, tho city jaiT, it would have sufficient recommendation. Let it be menbered that the consti- tution of the county council must depend upon the result of the coming elections. Let it not be forgotten, that the success of this separation movement must also depend upon the constitution of the'next county council. Let it be remembered that the electors have now the opportunity and the power, by electing men of the right stamp, to bring the matter to a suc- cessful and happy issue, by the most na- tural and legitimate method Let it not be forgotten either that if this opportu- hity be neglected; we may have to strug- gle under our present burdens for many years. MARKIIAM. WARD No.1.â€"-â€"In this Ward Mr. James Bowman, an old and tried servant of the township, will have no opposition. ‘WARD No. 2.~â€"We are sorry to learn that there are efforts being made to bringr out a candidate to oppose Mr. Robert Marsh in this Ward. Mr. Marsh has had five or six years experience as a Councillor and there is no better informed man on Municipal matt- ters in the township, and few better calcu- lated to fill the position of Councilman with credit to himself and advantage to the elecQ tors. It seems that Mr. Marsh is distasteful to some of the ratepayers, because, f‘orsooth, he is favorable to a Separation of the Coun' w from the City. No more unreasonable or foolish ground of opposition could possibly be chosen. Mr. Marsh, in candidly declar- ing his views. stands in very favorable con- trast to those whom asexvile fear of endan- ;oring their election has- mafiémutes of.â€" His course in this augurs well for the future. It has been manly and straightforward, and ought to strongly» necommsendhim for a 1i. heral support; WARD No. 3.â€"â€"-â€"Mr.. A’fchibfild Barker has for several years represented"this Ward with eredit. We léarn he will again be returned without opposition.

Mr. Bowman hgs served in the Coun- Markham and Vaughan. oil several years, has done his duty, and makes an admirable Township officer. His friends should see to it that every effort be made to secure his return. WARD No. 5.â€"In this Ward there will be some fun. Mr. Wm. M. Button, who has for thirteen years represented this Ward at the Council board; will be opposed by Mr. J. Reesor. Last year the same parties were candidates and the vote was close. VAUGHAN. In Wards No.» 1, 3, 4 and 5, we hém' of no oppositidn to the present representatives. In Ward N0. 2, Dr. Langstaff will be op- posed by Mr. Thomas Watson. Many friends of Dr. Lang-stall? who think highly of him as a professional gentlenwign, consider him rather out of place in the Township Council; willnob support him. He is aver-y strong candidate however and will pull a large vote. His opponents will have to ex. ert themselves considerably to defeat him. The Headf'ord Oil Company are Carrying on their operations with energy. They have got 51. Well sunk about, '70 ft. and everything is going on favorably. The indications are very encouraging; They have on the ground all the apparatus requisite, and seem :to be very sanguine of success. At Buttonville a Company was formed on Wednesday last, to sink :1 Well.‘ The indications in that neighborlidcvd one very encouraging, and they will commence bor- ing immediatelyf Another Well at BUTTONVILLE, We regret to see from the lately pub- lished Minutes of the Municipal Council of Vaughan, that nearly $800 has been distributed in charity to indigent persons during the last year. lVe regret it, not in a niggardly spirit of fault finding, that so much money has been expended, but rather that there should be any necessity for its expenditure. How it happens7 in a. rich and long settled township like Vaughan, that there should be ‘so many paupers, is something that certainly needs explanation. Certainly they can- not belong to it, as its natural inhabi. tants whom misfortune land reduced. May it not be that the good nurtured, easy going benevolence of the eCouncil, with public money, makes Vaughan rather a pleasant and profitable resort for these unfertunates .? 1f . it becomes known that the Councilis ready to spend an eqnzfi silm‘ next year, for a similer purpose, depend upon it there will be no luck of applicants. ]f‘ the other muni- 1eipalities were to act likewise,‘whatva lparudise for indigents would the county lbe. It would be cheaper to establish a ipoor house at once. We have no desire to discountcnanca the extenswn of assistance in cases of real necessity to the poor (1f the Townâ€" ship, but. it is a different. thing by an easy Md iii-timed )iberality, to usurp the office of private benevolence, and hold. out inducements to professional mendicancy. It seems like‘ a reflection on the Weal- thy and benevolent farmers of Vaughan, that every old and infirm man-and woman, and every distressed widow and orphan, should have to solicit public charity. Can not-hing be done by private, chrisâ€" tian philanthropy, that these miserable ones, who are really deserving, should-be saved making a» public spectacle of their misfortunes? or that the good natured, unsuspieious council may be protected from designing impostors ?- We are pre- pared to receive suggestions. Markham Oil Wells. UPPERATIBNS AT 'HBABPURB. A WELL SUNK 70 FEET; A large and respectable audience as- sembled to hear the learned Doctfir last Friday evening. Throughout, his re. marks were most instructive and enter- taining, and were listened to with pro- foui.d attention. Having explained the origin of the superstition of Witchcrafty and given an account of its doctrines as expounded by the demonologists of the 15th and 16th centuries7 the‘lccturer traced its progress anddeeline in Eng- land, Scotland and: America, up to the time of the last barbarous executions. Many. ofithe illustrative incidents related would be beyond creduilty, were they not matters of history, and though perâ€" haps profitless in themselves, yet an in- stance of the power which superstition may- exercise ever even the intelligent, were not without a Wholesome moral. At the close of the lecture, Mr. Har- rison, seconded by Mr. Wright, moved‘a vote of thanks to the Doctor for his able; and eloquent lecture. It was unanimousâ€" ly carried, and the audience dispersed, apparently highly pleased with.the cven~ ings entertainment.

The Christmas Examinations of the Common and Grammar School in this village, took place on Wednesday, Thursâ€" ‘ day and Friday of last week. On 30-? count of the extreme cold, not many visi- tors were present. This is much to be regretted; .as from what We can learn from those who were present, the exer- cises were very creditany performed. The Common School (lepartment, under Mr. Porter and Miss Oates’ management, appears to be in a most eflicient condi- tion, and gives great-premise of future success and usefulness; and if an ener- getic and able teacher, is secured for the Grammar School Department, no facility will be wanting to obtain a sound trac'- tical education, English'and Classical. At the close 9f Mr. Bond’s examma, tion, his pupils, who s‘e‘em’ {‘0 have profitâ€" ed greatly under his instruction; and to have been much attached to him, preâ€" sented him with a handsome W'i‘iting desk, as a token of remembrance; It will be seen by reference to our adver: tising columns, that the Lecturecommittee in Connection with the Mechanics’ Institute, have engaged the services ofthe Rev. Wm. Stevenson, of Toronto. We trust that the community will show their appreciation of the laudable efforts to furnish first class Lecturers fer the season, by a good “turns out.” The Subject,â€"-“ The Central Force of Cliristianity,”â€"£is one interesting to all, and being,r in the hands of a gentleman of unquestionable talert, it will be presented to the audience with more than ordinary ability. On Wednesday, ihe 27th inst, 9 Tea meeting was held in the Methodiet Church, in this vil.age, hem of the Parsonage Fund. Owing to the absence of that great essential to the success ot'a tea meeting in the Win- ter, “ Sieighing” nnd the unpropicinus slate of the weather, the attendance was not so large as it might otherwise have been.â€" At'ter tea, the chair was taken by Amos Wright.

TORONTO CORERESNHBEEGE. DISRUPTION OF THE MINISTRY. The startling announcement that the Hon. George Brown, President of the Executive Council, had tendered his resignation to His Excellency the Adâ€" ministrator of the Government, in conse- quence of a serious difference of opinion with his colleagues on an important pub- lic question, has been the great sensation of the last few days, and has created an immense amount of excitement in this city. All minor~ matters sink into utter inelgnifieance when compared with this public event. The serious disagreement between the Attorney General West and the President of the Executive Council, which arose during the North Went- worth election, prepared us, to a certain extent, for an early dissolution of the present extraordinary coalition; but we were hardly prepared for the events of the last ten days. Many are the at- tempts made to divine the cause of the disagreement, as we do not believe that Mr; Brown would withdraw just at the moment when his highly cherished scheme of confederation is so near adop- tion, unless the disagreement was very great indeed. Some who claim to know all state secrets, assign ‘the Hecrprocity Treaty asthe cause, and state that the Government» had with the single excep- tion of'Mr. Brown, determined ton adopt retaliatory, 'measures, in the event Wesleyan Pgigfiage Féfid; ”.

Should it prove to be true that this was the cause of his- withdrawel, there will be a. wide differ- ence of opinion among the people of Canada], as to the wisdom of the edhrse proposed to be adopted. , The members of the Administration have wisely deter- ; mined to keep the cause of the minister- :ial crisis from the public until after the Iassembling of Parlimnent, and senéible persons will commend the Wisdom (if their course; .

Brown has always been a consiskent Free Trader, and no doubt anything bordering en a protective tariff would be "u highly ohjectable to him. The disse- pointme‘flt of both political parties, at this Sudden resignation of the leader of the Reform, section of the Cabinet, is very great indeed, While not a few rejoice to‘ think that there is some prospect of again having a pine Party government. The desire to see thef British North American Colonies! itnite<i rfinder one strong government is verj‘? greet, and politicians have managed to sink party considerations, and to support a ministry that was (ietermined toimzike us a uni ted people, and to bnild up a power on this continent possessing all the atributes of England's greatness; yet free from the somewhat too rnp‘idé tendencies to- .wards Democracy which éhafzicterises lir'ncrie‘ans. .lVlr': B‘rdwrt hits" been in “consultation With: Sir John Michel, the Adn‘iinistrater of the Government,- n'nd that gentleman has refused to‘ ae'eefit his‘ resignation, for the present. .It is also added that Mr. Brown has fictermined not to re-enter the Cabinet. Does it not strike you as being out of the usual course of proceedure in such eases, for 'Mr Brown to be in consultation with the head of the Executive? Is it not in accordance With British practice for the Crown to know only the Prime M in- ister? and if so, is this not another wdndei‘f'nl departure from constitutional. practice by this extraordinary coalition. Will some writh on constitutional law enlighten us on this important point? LAK’E MICHIGAN.
