The election for a member to repre- sent Cardwell in the House of Commons, in place of the late Mr Cameron, came off yesterday; we have not learned the result; but we are inclined to the opin- ion that it will be pretty close whichever wayit is. Mr. Bolton is the minister- ial candidate, and Mr McCarthy the opposition. ‘ LA W CONCERNING NEWSPAPERS. The Message which President Grant has sent to Congress, has been highly commented on generally by the Ameri- can press. In the opening paragraph- ‘of the message, the Presidentfihas re- ferr ed to the events and official acts of the past eight years; he claims that he has made mistakes in the selection of assistants, etc. The message recapitu- lates the work of reconstruction after the war; the heavy debt which the suppression of the rebellion had entailed upon the country; and the gradual re- duction of taxation, to the amount of nearly three hundred million dollars, and of the national debt to over four hun- dred illio‘nsr The message refers to t" - ‘ " "wfhioesubsist with foreign nations, to the satisfactory ad- justment of the Alabama difliculty. The“ boundary” line between the United States and the British possessions in the North West, the Extraditiod treaty with Great Britain, etc. etc: The Returning Boards of Louisiana, Florida and South Carolina have made their report giving Hayes nominally a majority of one in the electoral college for the entire Union. The Democrats claim at least two if not three of these States for Tilden, and have also appomt- ed electors on their side. The House of Representatives being Democrats, and the Senate Republicans, there may probâ€" ably seem some doubt about the final result. However, on a join ballot of the two Houses, the Democrats can claim a majority, the chances are, Tilden will yet be elected. Some of the most influ- ential of the Republican papers, write as if there will be no election, and that the House of Representatives will choose the President, and the Senate the Vice Pres- ident. It is about time the muddle was settled. The folly of Mr Cartwright’s late pfooeediugs in putting the Canadian loan on the English market at a fixed rate, instead ofallowing monied men to compete for it so as to obtain the highest tender possible, has drawn a condemnation from a quarter little expected..

Te.er E“!- SUBSCRIPTiONS RECEIVER, Notes and Comments. MARRIE D‘ DEAR SIMâ€"It is'over 270 years since the first settlement in Eastern Virginia by a London Company. Agriculture was, at first, carried on in common stock, and found not to give satisfaction after a trial of five years. It was then do- cided to give each individual three acres and subsequently increased to BO acres. The question now is, Why is the country in a wilder state than it was 150 years ago? The climate is as fine as any state in the Union. The soil‘ is a fair average of any of the middle states, with navigable rivers emptying into Chesa- peake Bay, which abounds with oyster beds. Valuable mines in abundance, timber land more plentiful than in On- tario, at present, of easy access to the best markets in the world. Richmond is not unlike to other cities, having quite a busy appearance. “The streets are partly cleaned by convicts, with a large ball attached to them by a chain. Many of the market teams had canvas covers for long journeys. One darkey had a cart with five turkeys and a halfâ€"a. dozen horse collars made of" corn-husks plaited. His team was a threeycar old bull. He had came thirty-six miles. His first day's journey was twenty miles. At night he tied the bull to tree in a wild bush, and waited on the road without shelter for light to finish the journey to market. Richmond is surrounded by as fine a country as ever the sun shone on, and yet the market produce is higher than in Toronto. If Ontario was farmed in the same careless, slovenly way for ten years, our whole country would be brought to starvation. The Southern farmers appear to be Waiting for the re- sult of' the Presidential election. Their only hope is in Tilden. Should his elec- tron fail, they will be disposed to sell their land at a lower figure than any time since the war, by which they were ruined. Their horses, cattle and sheep were all drive-n oif, fences all burned, and the whole country laid a commons and has to agreat extent remained so ever since. Many fields are grown up with brush-wood and trees 20 and 30 feet high. From Richmond to Freder- icksburg I never saw a horse, cow, or sheep at large in pasture, although the weather was fine, thus showing the scar- city of stock. The results of the settle- ment of a few Canadian farmers on the land in a few years would astonish the natives. Fredericksburgh, Nov. 11, 1876. To file Editor of The Herald. On Monday, Dec. 4th, as August Shultz, of lot 8, con. 7, Morrison, was attempting to cross Sparrow Lake on the ice, it broke when he arrived about half way across. His wife, who witnessed the catastrophe, ran and threw a line to him, and thus rescued him from his cold and perilous situation. She had to drag him in an insensible state about a mile and a quarter. He is now suffering severely from the eflects of his cold baih. â€"Eacpositor. On Tuesday last, as Allen McDonald, of lot 6, con. 8, Morrison, was returning home along the 10th eon. he was beset by a pack of seven wolves. He im- mediately climbed n free and watched his atrocious and blood-thirsty assailants for nearly an hour waiting for their sup- per. It was not until a neighbor with a. team came along, and frightened them away that they left, when Mr. McDonald descended from his unpleasant situation. ~Ewposiwr. The Indians offiama boried one of their number on the ChiefIsland yester- day. They crossed on the ice and re- turned safely. The deceased, Widow Black, is believed to have reached the age of 100 years, and probably exceeded that.

Sylla commanded the bones of Marius to be broken, his eyes to be pulled out, his hands to be cut off and his body to be torn in pieces with pincers, and Catalina was the excecution- er. ‘ A piece of cruelty’ says Seneca ‘ only fit for Marius to suffer, Cataline to execute, and Sylla to command.’ .
