Jackson, one of the County Auditors, has sent us a letter purporting to be “the necessary light ” so much needed in regard to a very serious differ- ence which exists between the published statement of the County [Finances, for the year 1864, as audited by Messrs. E. Jackson and George Graham, and the returns made to the Government Auditor for the same year, and published by him amongst the “Municipal Returns" for 1864. In order that our readers may not misunderstand, wo copy that part of our article of last week which Mr. Jack- son thinlts he has explained, and respectâ€" fully submit that what he considers the “ necessary light ” is no light, in fact he leaves us floundering in utter darkness, end exactly where we were before ,â€" here it what we said last week : “By the published "Abstract of the “ detailed; statement of the receipts and “ Disbursements of the Corporation of “ the United Counties of York and Peel, “ for the year ending Slut December, "1864,’ the gross amount of Revenue “ a pears to be only 348.344 28,â€"rund “ w ich is vouched for as correct by the “ County Auditors.

Let us have more‘ light “ gentlemen, if you please ; we have no “ patience with anything approaching “,ohf'ustication." The reason why we made this demand arose out of the fact that the financial statement, over the signatures of the County Auditors, does not agree with that of the Provincial Auditor, and the difference is so great that we felt it would by ‘an omission of duty to allow it to pass without callingjttention to it.

We feel confident that our readers will agree with us that it is the duty of the County Auditors to meet our qnes- mion fairly; we simply ask for informaâ€" tion: in which the public are interested, and have a. right, to expect;- it. No amount of? circumlocution will make up for the absence of the one thing uecdful, which we respectfully submit is not to be found in Mr. Auditor J acksou's letter. Since the foregoing was set up and teatfy for press, we received by mail a “ Postcript. ” from Mr. J ackson,.dated 15th Aug. which came to hand too late for us too do more than give him the benefit of inserting it, and say that we reserve our remarks for next week. We have managed to wade through seventy four pages of “ the Fenian Raid on Fort Erie, with an account of the Battle of Ridgeway," by Major George T. Denison jr., and consider it a singu- lar production. The author appears to labour under a disease known as cacoe the: scribmdi, for he announces, with somewhat ofa flourish, that he is an. thor of “ Manual of outpost duties," “ observations on the best defensive force for Canada, 6w. &e." Ween we read the title of this work, and seeing that it Was published by Messrs Rollo and Adam, we were induced to invest a small sum in it in order to hear what Major penises had to say upon a subject that has enA grossed so much attention for the past two months ;â€"â€"we had not got far in our perusal when the idea. occurred to us that it would be well for the commander of “the Governor General‘s Body Guard" if he had never appeared in print. We are at a loss to oonoelve what can have induced this Major Gesrge T. Denisou jr., to afilict the public with such a chastisement, u this book appears to us to be ; if he desires to bring himself in- to notice, we submit that he is doing it at a cheap rate. We have no doubt but that the Major is a; Ioldler, and will fight if needs be that he must, indeed we be- lieve that, from boyhood up, he has mam- fested a puguaceoul IpiriHe the Rev. Mr. Maynard, of U, 0. College has good reason to rememberâ€"he ap- pears to know more about fighting than he does about English granular, which may be useful in the field, when accom- panied by courage, but we consider that the M ajor made a great mistake when he undertook to write a book. The Major seems to be sorely exer- cised at the indifference which the powers-that~be manifest townds that arm of the service to which he specially belongs, and the Minister of Militia comes in for a particular mark of his atâ€" tention,-â€"he says that “ the Cavalry “ force of this Province is small in num. “ bers, and, consequently, weak in influ- “ ence. All the oflicers in high positions “in this country are either infantry or “ artillery ofiiccrs, and consequently they “ have not any sympathy with the ca- “ valry arm of the service, nor as full an “ appreciation of its value as a. cavalry ‘*' ofiieer would have. ' ‘ ' “It is particularly unfortunate that this “prejudice, this unreasonable prejudice “ against cavalry should have so strong a " hold upon some of our authorities, and “ especially upon the mind of the Minis- “ ter of Militia." The fact is the Major writes like one who has an axe to grind ; he feels some difiiculty in attracting the attention of those in authority, and sets all down to a prejudice'against cavalry, ~â€"the consequence of which is that he considers the safety of the country on- dangered thereby;â€"~this is the Major’s mistake (but he cannot see it),-â€"-â€"for it does not follow that the defence of Ca- ‘nada is not cared for,simply because the Troop of Denisons, or Denison’e Troop {is not placed in the foreground. We have every confidence in the Min- ister of Militia, and have no doubt but whatever its dame will be for the best, and whether the Cavalry, Artillery or the Infantry are called out first, we consider it. not the part of’a subaltem to criticize but let each man do hls duty as directed‘ by the proper authorities, without, fault finding and making invidious compari‘ sons, such as Major D. appears to in- du ga inâ€"which is, in our opinion, an indication of cavalry on the brain.

Stoughten Dennis 112.3 de- manded a Court of Enquiry,â€"â€"it Will af- ford Capfiain King and others who have accused the Colonel of being a coward and paltronn. an opportunity of proving what. they so openly and publicly a‘fitzriml ; for the oradh» offhe scz'vi-sea, and the county of York, we hope to see the Brigade Major triumphantly meet. those @‘a'goy, and clear himself. A Court of Enquiry. Denison's Book. On Thursday the 9th inst., died, John Walker-«better known per- haps as “ Black Walker." Accord ing to his own account he‘ucame to this neighborhood over forty years ago‘; he has seen the Erection of .slinoqt every house our village ‘ccntains. To every Fair, celebration or public festivi- ty, Walker added ~'his individuality as one of the component parts“i 'His “ pro- fession ” was huntingâ€"leis gun dud: his garden kept want 'froni this shanty. , Strictly honest, and upright 5inl‘his deal “ ings,kind and obliging to his neighbours, he had not a known enemy inthe World; [Notwithstanding the lowness ‘of his posi- ‘tion and his general poverty he was much respected and frequently received the nod of familiarity and the pleasant remark of ‘5 Well J ohn,” from those who were much above himin station, to which he invariably as courteously rc- plied. A man of no education, yet his remarks and sayings were shrewd and sometimes witty. The following occur. red 0. short time before his death and is perhaps too good to be lost. On a re- cent public holiday, a number of per- Ims were watching the staggering antics of an individual whose potations' had been “extra” on that occision, Walker passed by and being sober walked up to the reeling object of observation and passing his arm through that of the other said “ Gentlemen which is now the better man, the negro or the white man ?" Like many a man howevor, whose intellectuality far exceeds that of “ poor Walker" as he desxgnated himself he knew his fault but failed to correct it. But he is gone and we do not envy the feelings of those who have helped him on his way. Day after day for years, he has come from his cabin home a sober man, and returned a reeling drunkard. His was a peculiar caseâ€"strong drink crazed him. There were those who knew that as soon as he psrtook of in-‘ toxicating liquor that his brain would turn and that he would be transformed into a blaspheming msnisc. They knew too that when they poured it into his glass that it would cause him to make the two miles to his home discordant with his appalling yells, yet for the sake. of a. few paltry cents. they would fire that brain until outraged nature could shad strafing Joys-er, the; a brittle thread of life was snaped asundérâ€"ih all the horrors of delirium, the waves of eternity surged upon him and ha hm stands before his God with the brand of the Almighty upon his brow that “no druukard shall enter the kingaom of heaven.” It is very Well known that we are not ' fanatical on the subject of temperance, but there are occasions when we as pub- lic journalists are compelled to raise our voice against the inhumanity of some of I those who dell in ardent spirits. If) Walker was the last of the race of un- fortunate vietims to a. cursed habit, a hint from us would not be required, but there are others in our village who years ago have entered on a similar cancer-- are now whirling within the inner circles of the vortex of dissipationâ€"honour goneâ€"substance wastedâ€"prospects blas- tedâ€"respect forfeited,â€"-business, home and happiness among the things that wereâ€"victims of an imperious appetite, destined if not prevented by those who have it in their power, it may be like Walker to end their days with awful suddenneas, and under as appalling cir- cumstances be hurled body and soul in- to an eternity of inevitable destruction; 0n the behalf of these we have ventured aword in season. Though their steps are verging on the infamy ofa drunk- ard's grave, yet their ilmost palsied arm will yet be.extended for ‘ one glass more,’ we ask you to refuse and it may be that' temperance men may have less to say in reference to the evils of intemperance. I We are not disposed to lay the whole blame upon the tavern, we must have houses of accommodation, and in many cases the Landlords of the Hotels in this village have been known with com- mendable firmness to refuse the request of those whose thirst controls their judgement. But there is another quar- ter from which the evil arises and where the facilities for drinking are continually on the increaseâ€"against which we de- sire to enter our protest. It is the selling of Intoxicating liquors indiscri- minately to all parties who apply.and the giving away to so many under the guise of liberality and with a View to the at- traction ot'patronag‘e by our Mercantile establishments. There the taste is first vitiatedâ€"the thirst acquirediâ€"the habit formed. and the victim sent out with all the budding requisites of a future confirmed toper, to finish off at some low groggery and finally by an extra dose (as in Walkers case) of'abom. inable field whisky be sent into eternity. When poverty porsonifiel presents itself at the eoumer asking for a. uart of whiskey, and n. penny’s worth 0' tea, a temperance lecture however pungent would not be out of place, and a. little discretion relative to such individuals Would cause many at jug to return empty and perha, .in company with something: substantia for the starving little once at 110mm. ‘ ‘ ‘ A LOCAL CELEBRITY GONE. . .m'wa ._._ W Yâ€"O- ~-- “Ohm: ary.

We will watch the progress of the negotiation, with great interest. The Hon.

Trusting you will kindly give the foregoing a. place in your next issue,, so that the same readers may see a. reply to your enquiry for “ light.” I beg to remain, Yours respcctfully, E. JACKSON, One of the Auditors. Postscript to Above. Newmarket, Aug. 15, 1866. Since writing the foregoing I hive learned, by communicating with the Clerk of one of the Departments at Ot- tewaf that the Returns tevwhich your artiele alludes, ineludes all the taxes im- posed by the local Councils as well as County; and are made up from Returns made by Clerks of townships, villages and towns, as required by clause 154 of“ the Municipal Act for Upper Canada.~ N ow take the total amount levied by the Counties’ Council of $37,121 40, and to make up the difference between that amount and the sum of $83,835 given by you, will leave an average of consider- any m: $1,000 to each local Council fonlnctil purposes. I think this must be the solution to your difieulty. SIR:~â€"In your last issue appe-nrs an article under the caption of “ County Auditors," in which you appear to labor under considerab'e“ obf'usticution," with regard to the County Accounts for1864. You also givegem extract from some Mu- nicipal Return to the Government of that your (:1 copy of which I have not been able to obtain, as' yet), setting forth that these United Counties “ collected under “ the year 5 rates $583,855 00.” There is no truth in these figures, I care not where you got them. y turning to the By-Law passed that year for levying rates, and signed “ \Vm. Tyrrell, Warden,” you will find the following cor- rect :â€" Levied for general purposes. . . $26,388 40 for payment of Teachers 9,633 00 Superintendents 1.100 00 Thia was the eniirc County Assess- ment for 1864, instead of the $83,855, set forth in your article of last week- In the Enpemrflturrsfsetting forth that $17,177 were expended on Roads, Bridges, &c., you are quite as wide from the mark. During the year you men- tion (1864) only one appropriation for Roads and Bridges was made, and that but a small item of $200, towards a line of‘road between these Counties and Hal- ton. These facts you might have learn- ed without placing yourself or the County Auditors in a false position, had you exuminined the minutes of proceed- ings of the Counties’ Council for 1864. I might go over the other figures you gave in the article of last. week, and Shaw their unreliableness; but the above will be sufficient. _And I also hope, on another occasion, instead of placing the County Auditors in the position of hav- ing to prove a negative, you will Show wherein the error lies.
