THE MOORS AND, FOEESTS.—We learn from th
Banfshire Journal that the weather during the pas
week has.been showery, occasionally interrupting sport
but on all good moors sportsmen have met success more
or less brilliant. On the. Banffshire moors good sport
has been had durins, the week by the Duke of Rich-

On the Aberdeenshire moors fair sport continues to be
met. On the Morayshire Moors the sport has fully con-
firmed the favourable indications of the 12th. Fair
sport has also been . got in the forest. In Glenavon
toffee sold by Thompson

brought down two, right and left. On the 20th, a HOUSEKEEPERS.—The

L. Limugut tnat tnis being a high trust to beeXercised
on behalf of the whole State, should be exercised openly.
The summary of our experience may be stated thus :
" 1. The ballot (secret or open) is promotive of quiet
at the polls, and under our system of general suffrage,
and of the multiplicity of officers to be voted for at the
same time, is almost a necessity, on the grounds of con-
.

venießce

." 2. It is found in practice that the ballot can be
sufficiently guarded against fraud, but in securing this
result we have deprived it of the element of secrecy.
"3. The attempt to introduce a mode of ballot which
shall be at once secret, and secure against fraud, and
reasonably convenient, has so far Maid with us.
" 4. What may be the present opinion of the majority.
as to the principle of the secret ballot is matter of con-
jecture. A large and influential propartion oppose it on
principle ; and what with this difference of opinion on
the principle, and what with the difficulties in the
details, the secret ballot has been abandoned and the
open ballot fallen back upon, as affording as much
protection to the voter as in the opinion of some is
desirable, and of others is practicable."
