Still Complaining,

The Vancouver Telegraph has found new
cause of complaint and abuse inthe action of a
portion of the corporators Of the Columbia
transportation Company. That paper few
weeks ago "winked and looked wise" when
tie call Of a majority Of the corporators was
published, in strict conformity with%thc law,
and promised disclosures which would astound
the very natives. In that paper Of the 5th
inst the promised disclosures are made, in
vague intimations that "somebody's to be
cheated" and somebody's" to make the mod
est little sum of 100000 by certain little
Cuisines transaction" and intmates, Of
course, that the aforesaid gentleman o! bust
ness proclivities resides on the Sound, and
quantity adds, to smooth the matter over and
prevent disagrecable consequences, that eve
do not wish to be understood as. asserting the
fact that sinister motives actuated" the
party. r
One would suppose from the tone of the
Telegraph for the past eighteen months, that
the people of the Sound were at deadly enmi-
ty with those ON the Columbia. We know
but little of the merits of the case in contro-
versy, and do not volunteer as the champion
Ct the individual who has such keen eye to
business; but we must say that the contin-
ned attempts of that papnr to create and keep
alive an animosity between the people Of the
two sections is very remarkable, to say the
least.
According to the showing Of that paper the
people in that section have been the recipi-
ents Of an unprecedented train Of injuries, the
commencement of which is dated back many
years. First We find Governor McG ill usurp-
ing" unwarranted authority in removing Cap
itol Commissioners next we find some one
perpetrates .fIasd on the Capitol bill, which
was rushed through the Legislature by the
river members in less than .ftlees misxtes /;
then we find il heaping abuse upon Governor
Turrey and Judge Hewitt because they did
not look through the same spcctacles that
the Telegraph did; and again we find it
boldly declaring that the decision of the So.
prone Court was obtained BY f1a.d! And
even this does not gil the measure Of wrongs
committed against the Telegraph. The leg
islation Of the last Assembly has been 30 dc.
fec.ive - to allow open and avowed ene,nies
OF the enterprise" uaaetsaaed "by sinistes
motives" howeves. to Peculate at the expense
OF the corporation!

Ii vou have more fault to find with the mo-
