THURSDAY ’AUGUST 10, 1880. West Toronto Election. The struggle has commenced, and the interest heretofore taken by the Toronto papers in the coming contest on the other side of the lines has suddenly ceased. Sounds of war are heard. The Globe is just squaring off for a real good oldâ€"fashioned clcction contest, in which it hopes to knock the N. P., as far as West Toronto is concerned, higher than the mythicalGildcroy kitc, by a good deal. The Mail, meantime, seems to feel quite sure that everything will turn out all right, and mildly checks the Globe once in a while. The Telegram, apparently has not yet decided which side to take 11p, and so contents itself b hitting a little all round. and then con-â€" gratulating itself that there are some in- depen dent papers In this country. Ma- yor Bcutyis the standard bearer for the Conservatives, and Ald Ryan has the honor of upholding the Reform banner, Mr. Bethune having declined. Mr. A. \V. \Vright, editor .of the Commonwealth, and a newspaper man for many years, is the candidate workingman’ s 1ntcrcst.lleis out on the paper money question, in particular and will, boy 0nd doubt secure a fair share of votes. Mr Wright is a good speaker, and has given the moneyâ€"ques- tion, long and thorough study, and' has thereby quite an advantage over those who oppose him on this question. Booty used to be considered a very dc- ocnt fellow,but it is questionable whether he ever will again. when the Globe gets through with him. Ryan may be a good man but the Mail cannot be in-‘3 duced to say so. The National‘Policy seems to be the question on which the election will be fought,principally. The chances of success for the Reform candi- date are small, but the Globe hopes to increase them by accusing him of mak- Ing all sorts of foolish statements about matters altogether outside of the matters to be discussed. West Toronto has good reason to be considered a Conscr- vativc constituency, and both parties have chosen able rcprcscntativcs,wl10 will secure all possible votes. Mr Wright may weaken Mr Bc:.tly‘s chances, and should not be despised, as he apparently is,at .prcscnt. But we do not think either Mr Wright or Mr Ryan will be elected. In 12575 oxâ€"Ald. Turner, who wvasconsidcrcd ns'good a man as could he chosen by the Reformers, was de- feated by about 350 votes, although sup- ' ported by the Ottawa Government. In 1878 Mr Hodgins, Q. C., was also de- feated. At the 'clections for the Local House Mr Bell has held this consti- tucncy'soh'd'for the Conservatives, so that conSIderahlc change must take place to ensure the success of the Re- formcrs. The opinions of some of the electors may have changed since last they voted on the N. l’., and probably some are dissatisfied regarding appointâ€" mcuts, but opinions are always changing, and all can not be satisfied. We see no good reason to doubt Mr Beatty’s sucâ€" cess. The Cattle Export Trade. The following article is taken from the Globe, and will prove very interest- ing to all our readers, and especially those who have had any experience in stock-raising :-â€" Sm,â€"â€"Your London correspondent called attention to a shipment of cattle as follows: “As long as Canada sends as animals such as a shipment from the neivhborhood 'of Guelph, impmtcd by Messrs.

No better cattle, l belicvo,cxcept of course pedigree and prize beasts, have ever reached this country from the Ameri- can Continent.” The shipment referred to was princrpally from Fergus and Elora, and of three-year- old grade Shortborn steers.

This points to the conclusion that the girl’s malady takes a religious turn. She was seen at various points in the neighborhood, and traced to a pointou the Kingstomroad about four miles from Toronto. She there called in at a house by the roadside and asked fora drink of water. The lady of the house gavchera glass of milk and a biscuit, and spoke with the girl for some time. The latter asked for permission to stay all night, but this request was 1'cfuscd.Sl1o ‘ moved Torontowards after loavingthcre.

The .C. M. Church Ladies Aid supplied a long felt Friday evening last, at the res idcncc of MIs Wm Atkinson. Refreshments were served on the lawn at the west side of the house, and the grounds were illumin- ated by lanterns. . We do not know whether Vililliam intended to advertise his lanterns, but they certainly assisted ‘ greatly in making a chy pleas sant scene. l We witnessed what 1s, or should be con- sidered a great novelty croquctâ€" â€"playing by lanternâ€"light. MrsAtkinson and other ladies were unremitting in their super- vision cver the tables,b and attention to the comfort and pleasure of the visi- tors.

There was a very good attendance of visitors, andwc noticed several young ladies and gentlemen from Thornhill. The supply of peaches was unlimited, but the peaches were just a trifle hard.

"For a really pleasant trip, and a nice lime, go to Lake Rosscau.” We had heard this so often of late. that we felt a .strong desire to test the truth of the statement, 'but thIs inclinatIOn was somewhat moderat- 'ed by the thought of meeting with bears, sea-serpents, rattle- snakes, wild Indians, Pratt. and other nanves peculiar to counâ€" tries far from the haunts civilized man, or the bum ofthe N P. But Lake ltosseau would not keep quiet. It was always com- ing up for discussion, and evcrv person loud in praising its beautiful scenery, its magnificent stoetches of water and forest, the fine fishing grounds, and the cccnâ€" trio landlord of the Bosseau House. We felt that we must go, and secured several weapons ofa most deadly and diabolical nature around our person, and bidding good-bye to all our friends, we left orders for our chattels to be dis- tributed amongst our creditors, and the ' undertaker notificd,â€"in case the climate or natives proved too much for us. A new handkerchief and a box of paper collars, completed the outfit, and we stopped on the 5.15 p. m. at Toronto N. R. R. Station, all prepared to cn~ durc the hardships and trials necessar- ily incurred in such fearful undertakings. Our mind was made up to go through it all, at whatever cost, and show the inâ€" habitants that we had left home with the full permission of our maternal re- lativc,â€"so to speak.

Nothing of any account happened until we got to Richmond Hill station, where Messrs C Duncumb and J Reynolds joined our party.

SIn,â€"-To take up and carry on a conâ€" tinuous story, after a two years silence, is mme ofa stretch of memory than I can be guilty 01)qu as you request it, I have thought that, perhaps, 1 could send you something that miwht be inlercsfing to your readers of a country whose inner life is so little known as Texas is, in Canada. 1 have hardlylookcd at a newspaper for two or three mouths, not having had the chance, and being too busy to get any good of it if Ihad. The consequence is. that 1 know very little about what is going on abroad, while at home, I have 300 or more bushels of corn in the roasting ear, and about 30 acres of cotton “worked out,” Ihough not ”laid- -by’ yet, which ought to bring me twelve or fifteen bales, at least. it Is oplanted 111 rows from three to four feet apart according to the prospect for a. large or small plant. The ground is mostly “bedded” up, though sometlmes, it. is planted “flat.” When the plants are all up, it is “barred off" by running, a plow sometimes, a cultivator sometimes. a "col- ton scraper” as close to the rows as possible to cut away the weeds ; it is then “chopped out” and thinned to a. “stand” ; It 19 then flirted by “running round ” it, uencrnlly with a "sweep.” The best idea i can give of n“swecp, ” would he one ofyour “long-handled shovels’ fastened to a con- trivance, with a light beam and handles, called a “stock,” and drawn on its edge. back forcmosl along the furrow on each side of the cotton row. This does not throw up any furrow, for that Would cover the young plants. it merely shakes, as it were loose dirt among the stems of the cotton. In rich or ‘dirty’ ground it. may be necessary to hoe and “dirt” two or three times to keep down the weeds. It is necessary to have the ground “plumb,” clear of weeds before “layingâ€"by,” or the weeds would be apt. to make the “seed cot- ton” “washy ”~full of dirt. The last thing done laying-by is “hosting ” out. the "middlcs" with a sweep or one horse “turn- iug plow”, turning plow to distInguish it from other plows. "scooter” or “hull- tongue”, for instance. The bulltongue,as its name denotes, is shaped almost. like the tongue of that animal, having a square hole in the back end of it. for a bolt to pass through to fasten it to the stock ; it is used Inoslly to open the drill for planting, but is fast going out of use as more convenient and expeditious tools come to hand.

How do you suppose they do whom the white man owns the property and pays the tuxeS. while the descendants of Ham does the voting. 1 have had two chopping cotton for me this summer; one of them would “steal molasses from a ginger cakc,’ he would do it so nice that the cake would never feel it: the other went offto vet manied the other day.

Yes, there are always two sides to a question, and the right may lay deeper than most observers look. I may be wrong, but i am sorely tempted to take the Southren’ s .view of the negro question. Eighteen years have new elapsed since the right of suffrage was conferred on the black race. Had they been possessed of the spirit that V1ctor ‘Hugo tried to imprint on his Prince of Congo,thcy might have made themselves a necessary institution of this country. as it is they are paving the way to a slavery more dark and degrading than that from which they‘ nave escaped, and all the more ,dismal in that they can thank themselves alone for it, and they alone will be the sufi‘erers , I wont pick cotton, 1101' I wont run away , No).

Having fried moral suasion, and having foundthat the cuasion wont work where the moral ain’t, the planter is going to try another tact. The altcntion is being turned just now to securing and perfecting land titles. A man, however. with a thousand or more acres, and able himself only to ’work 40 or 50 at the outside is in danger of becoming “land poor,” hence we have about come to the conclusion that we need emigration. We want manufaclurers to build up our towns. and make homeâ€"market for produce of all kinds. As soon as old sores are healed, and the irrepressible Yankee takes .hold of us, we will go‘ahcnd, no doubt of it, and that time is coming fast. 1 fear that when that time comes, the negroes’ time will have come for). Oh, it isn 't 1111 in the bringing: up L'ct folks say what they will To silver scour n. pewter cup It will be pewter still. I am satisfied to rise or fall by the dc- cisiou that until other blood is infused into their veins. they will remain a standing verification of old Father Noah’s prediction.
