Believing that the cause is founded npon right and justice, and that it stands intimately connected with the commercial prosperity, as well as with the moral and social well being of this Domin« ion, the members of the council earnestly and confidently ask the co operation of all good men and true; while they revcrently Invoke the blessing and direction of Him without whom no work can ultimately prosper.

As soon as 200 members are secured, the Provisional Council will call a g'eneml meet- ing of the members, for the purpose of electing permanent officers and council.

A provincial council was then appointed to take necessary steps for organizing the Association on a. permanent basis. The council held its first meeting on the 5th iust., and appointed a sub-committee to prepare a. constitution, and also a. statement: to he presented to the public concerning the ob- jects of the Association.

For many years the question of total ab stinence has been before the people of Lanadn, and the reform has been carried forward with varying success, but latterly the conviction has been deepening in the minds of many friean of the Temperance cause that moral suasion alone is insufi‘icient to check (he growing ravages of intempen mice, that more stringent repressive meas- ures inust be adopted. In several reconnoissances by the Com- munist troops, recently made, the Versailles force was found in the occupancy of strong positions. They were attacked, but without material result. The army of the Assembly is mainly engaged in the establishment of new batteries. Gen. Dombrowski demands the prosecution of the chiefs of the 220th .nd 22lst battalions of the National Guards for cowardice. The commandant at Fort Montrouge claims a victory for the forces of the Commune under his order.

W1LKIE,Sec}etary. the Provisional Council, THE YORK H] ,R ALD, RICHMOND HILL, ONT., FRIDAY, APRIL 28,1871. Of course this is not exactly what is reported in the Globe. In fact, the only reason assigned why Mr. Blake should have pursued such acourse of' double-fiealing, is that Mr. Beattvy, of the Leader, voted in the same manner; and this reason was quite satisfactory to the grits of Bowmanville. Poor Blake! He must have been in a difficult situa- tion, when, with all his wonderful inge’ nuity, he could offer no better excuse for his extraordinary conduct. We hope, however, he .was sincere in what he said, and will continue to vote with Mr Beatt in future; if so, he will evince a much more sensible View of political questions than his past votes would indicate. The Globe says he “criticised” the expreSsions of the press on his disgrace- ful course in the Delorme case. His criticisms must have partalaen‘ largely of the humorous. He must have spoken somewhat in this style: “They abuse your leader because he contrived, before the close of the late session of' the On- tario Legislature, to raise a cry against the government which has gained you‘ several extra seats in the House. Am I not a great man for accomplishing this great feat? I cannot deny that in the House of Commons I swallowed all the buncumb I uttered in the Local Legisâ€" lature, and voted against any inquiry being instituted in the case of the mem- ber for Proveueher, who was openly ac- cused of being one of Scott’s murderers. I did th1s because I had no purpose to serve in voting for it, and further, the question had no interest for me whatever.” The unwavering zeal with which the ‘ Grit party consent to be gulled by their political leaders, amounts to little less than infatuation. Even now when they have before their very eyes, the eviden- ces of their pet Blake’s duplicity and poâ€" litical knavery, they are satisfied to close their eyes to the facts and unresistingly to be dragged down into the filth with their paragon. The grits of W'est Dur- ham have just been treated to a two hours’ length of Blake’s plausible plati- tudes, and according to the Globe-a journal noted for its veracity (?), this is a jokeâ€"he admirably succeeded in con- vincing his brother grits that he was the best ill-used man in the Dominion, andi indeed, the only one who had done any-1 thing for the benefit of thficountry. The new election law is so indefinite and conflicting in many of its provisions. that we cannot even offer a conjecture as to the probable result of' this protest, nor what weight the court may attach to the\ objections advanced. To us, we must confess, they appear to pOSSess not a litttc significance, and yet it is difficult to believe that a gentleman of' Mr. Pat- terson‘s acknowledged shrewdness would have pursued the course he has unless under the advice of competent and relia- ble authority. Should Mr. Patterson be unseated it will remain with the court either to decide upon a new election or to declare Mr. Grahame the elected We understand that proceedings have t been initiated to nullify the late election for West York, a protest havingr been entered against the validity of Mr. Pat- terson’s election. The grounds of the protest, as near we can gather. appear to be‘â€"-that the member elect was not an eligible candidate from the fact of his holding on the day of nomination, an office under the governmentâ€"the Post- Ofiice at Patterson. This movement takes us a little by surprise, as we had always supposed that Mr. Patterson had resigned hisoflice, and alsohad his resig- nation accepted prior to the day of nomiâ€" nation, and we believe that such was in a measure true, yet the acceptance seems not to have been in strict accordance, with statute, nor the resignation legally‘ tendered. The latter should have beenl in writing, whilst the former was notl officially signed until the 18th day of” Marchâ€"â€"four days after the nomination. It is further urged that a Post Master is liegally'considered as holding his oifice and respons1ble for the performance of. its duties until his successor shall have been appointed. Now, in this case, Mr. Patterson’s successor was not appointed until the 5th of April ~after the election. Whorted tmv’é Said {hatfihe would not accept- the seat until chosen by a majority of' his constituents. Such a course wouid be only what we might expect from a gentleman of Mr. Gra- hame's high sense of honor. @M éflmk BLAKE ON THE RAMPAGE. Powell’s Pumps â€"â€"C. Powell. Spring Goods.â€"G. A. Barnard.

The attendance was not so large as might have been, owing, we should say, to there being so many afi'airs of the same class given during the winter. The se- lections recited during the evening were well chosen and varied in character, and many of' them inculcated important les- sons; some stirring up the most tender sympathies of' the heart, andbthers again brimful of wit so as to elicit loud expres-‘ sions of‘ applause.

The oflicers and committee will then be elected for the ensuing year. As every member holding a ticket has a vote, it is desirable that there be a good representation, so that the most active, earnest, and in ll'gent among the mem- ‘ ' should have the re- sponsi i mess in the coming year. ‘hrough the praiseworthy efforts of the resent managers, the Institute is in a most flourishing condition ; its mem- bershipi' is large, and comprised of our most intelligent citizens, its re-unions are excellent , and exceedingly popular, its library well selected and well read, and its magazineséand. periodicals the best of 'the day, Th coming men we trust will be such as are‘ab‘lelto keep up its.pres- ent high position, and mark out for its ; future still greater prosperity, and yet‘ more widely incr‘i” mg usefulness. RE-UNION.â€"-On Wednesday evening next, the oflicer's of the Richmond H111 Mechanics’ Institute intend holding their last reunion of the season, in the Ma- sonic Hall, commencing at 8 o’clock P.M. The Reunion Committee have engaged the assistance of Mr. Room Kay, for the evening’s entertainment. Mr. Kay is acknowledged by all who have heard him to be one of the best elocutionrsts in the Dominion, and has attracted large and intelligent audiences wherever he has announced his series of readings and recitations. The committee have pleas- ure also in announcing that in addition to the above, they have been promised the assistance of the best local amateur talent in vocal and instrumental music. From the arrangements made, there is no doubt that the seventeenth reunion Wlll prove the best of the series. As the proceeds are to be devoted to the liquidation of the debt incurred by‘the Institute, in furnishing the lower part of the Hall, we hope that the public will show its appreciation of the spirited efi'orts of the managing committee to provide for its comfort and convenience in contributing as for as possible toward a “consummation so dcvoutly to he wished,” by a large attendance. §~UDDEN14DEA1H.â€"S:n Saturdéxy Lfit, logt flourishing condi: THE strong points supporting the use of Fellows’ Compound of Hypophosphites are, that while it takes immediate hold upon the i system, in stimulating the Liver, regulating‘ and strengthening the muscles of the Heart. ‘ Stomach, Lungs, &c., it has uo debilitating effect under any circumstances ; and while its continued use is marked bfithe general ton- ‘ ing of the system, without producing consti- ‘ pating effects, it may be stopped at any time without the usual disagreeable effect follow- ing the discontinuance of some otherwise. valuable tonics. These characteristics are] particularly valuable to consumptives‘ and other debilitated invalids, and are peculiar to this preparation. Ex-Mayor Murison, of Hamilton, is, it is stated, one of the best shots in the Dominic. He excels not only at, short ranges, but equally as Well at long shots,as may be seen by the following score of 70, in a possible 80, at 1,000 yards ; 44433343433444432344 â€"â€"70. The man who can make eleven hulls’ eyes out of twenty shots at a distance of 1 000 yards, is one whom that city might well feel a pride in sending to meet the crack shots at Wimbledon ranges. ‘ A Quebec dispatch says there are now budding in that vicinitv eleven sea going vessels from 450 to 1,250 tons.

V During the past year some $50,000 in buildings have been added to the Village, which at 7%: mills would bring in $375 of taxes, more than enough to compen- sate the loss of the revenue derived from such questionable sources as licen- sing taverns. It being laid down as an axiom, by Messrs. Nightingale, \Viehson and Booth, that any number of-ratepay. ers living in the neighborhood of' a tav- ern, could, by petition to the council have a license refused, it therefore only th‘wseha these gentlemen back next year, and then let all hands petition against the granting of licenses. For some time past, parties living in Rose- dale have complained against the bad repair of‘ what is know as the Rosedale bridge, and n'ot Without reason, but the couneil hitherto, have taken little or no pains to put this bridge in a proper state of repair, but there seems a fair prospect at last of doing something whereby the state of things may be remedied; rate- Payers living in Rosedale having ofl'ered to provide the sinking fund to pay de- bentures to be issued by the corporation for that purpose. To the Editor of the York Herald Sir: The refusing of'the license to Mr. Wilson, seems to be the all impor tant question in certain circles. Tlu: recent action of a majority of the coun cil seems to give confidence to certain parties, to try and have carried out nox year what is known as the Dunkin net, or no licenses; others again are all-aid that the revenue derived from selling “Rot-gut” whiskey, &e., is more than the village can afford to lose; forgoning that the villagers would be more than gainers, if the same amount of money that is spent every year in slow poison was invested in broad cloth, and other comforts, which would be far better for the health and comfort of those who so spend it. Readings.â€"Mr. James Room Kay gave a selection of readings last evening in St. George’s School House in aid of the Sun- day School of St. George's Church. Arch- deacon Fuller presided, and introduced Mr. Kay to the audience. The readings were varied in style,being selections from Shake- speare, Hood, Edgar Allen Poe, Dickens, Lever, and other 'authors, in all of which Mr. Kay displayed undoubted ability as? an elocntionist.â€"â€"Globe CHANGE OF TIMEâ€"The time table in another column, announces that the N.
