It is really quite laughable to contemplate the indigna-
tion with which the local Opposition journals have been
filled at the number of objections that have been served
by the Conservatives upon the " faggot voten" of the
League ; for it does so happen that the League objector-
general has served notices upon hundreds of gentlemen
who have as good a right to vote in the election of mem-
bers for the county as the League has a good title to a bad
notoriety. The funds of that body should be in a tole-
rably flourishing condition, for undoubtedly a good round

Great Britain and the ports of Quebec and Montreal,
stated that the subject had frcquentlY been under the

Accompanying the protests of our contemporaries'

against the conduct of the Conservatives there is an'
amusing display of ignorance. The Guardian of Satur-
day winds up with this sage remark t " The most singular
circumstance connected with these objections is, that many
of them are franked with three pottage stamps, although
one is guile sufficient to take them through the post."
Of course the writer of this never heard of the provision
in the recent statute, which empowers and directs post-
masters throughout the country, on the vayment of two-
pence, to stamp and forward duplicates of objections, the
possession of which duplicate is as valid a proof of service
as a personal service previously was.—Manchester Courier.

SCUFFLE BETWEEN THE GREIMN-GREEN PRIESTS.—
At a justice of peace court, held at Ecclefechan, in Dum-
friesshire, on the 18th ultimo, Simon Lang, or Laing,
residing in Springfield, was charged with assaulting John
Douglas, residing there, on the Ist of A'ugust ultimo, and
pled not guilty. Evidence was then led in support of the
charge, from which it appeared that the accused and the
assaulted party are " rivals " as priests- in celebrating
Gretna-green marriages; that, on the morning in question,
Douglas was walking through Springfiehl with two couples
of males and females he bad met on the arrival of the
train from Carlisle, when the accused came out of his
house, and supposing, it' is thought, that' the persons
wished to be married', he wanted to take the job out of
Douglas's hands, and thrust him aside, and then struck
him severely with a walking-stick over the head' and
shoulders. The justice held that the charge was dearly
proven, and sentenced Lang to pay a fine of 42; or to be
imprisoned for 21 days. The marriage? trade-of Gretna-
green is now greatly on the wane—a mrcarnstanee which
none will regret excepting the " priests ': themselVes, who
must sigh for the times gone by, when it wasnot unusual
for carriages and four horses to drive up to the head inn
at Springfield or Gretna, the happy occupants of which
have been known occasionally to reward the " priests "
with a fee of one hundred guineas. —Edinktrirhr Witness-
