Information Wanted. T'o the KHditor of the Evaminer :
Sir,«-Can you inform me what duties have been performed by the ‘* Inspector of Taverns’ —an ofticer appointed by the authority of the License Act of 1878. His powers are great. He is to examine and report on the way in which the Act is carried out, to prosecute for all breaches of the law, to enter any premises where he has reason to believe that liquors are illegaly sold, to subpeena any witnesses he may think proper, to report quarterly to the Provincial Secretary what he has done, and to draw a salary of not less than four hundred, or more than six hundred, dollars a year.
Can you inform me who the Inspector is ; what is his salary, and what he has reported to the Provincial Secretary as the result of “his work during the past year ?

ENQUIRER. / May 10, 1878. oa Our Washington Letter
Wasiineton, D. C., May 7, 1878.
lt is acknowledged that Senator Conkling is as strong a politician as any of which the Republican party can boast. The gentle- man, himself, has no mean estimate of his wbilities, although he is too sensible and too much of a gentleman to be a braggart. A hner looking man is rarely seen. He has kept especially quiet during the last year, because of his antipathy to Mr. Hayes, as is generally supposed. He has, as yet, taken no public notice ef the wide-spread reports concerning his expression of private opinion in relation to Hayes, &c., and says he does not intend doing so. He declares his belief in the existence of a scheme to draw him out that he may embar- rass himself by speaking upon the present political complications m the Senate, but says he shall not allow such a scheme to succeed. As a matier of course, the recent disclosures, or confessions, or whatever you choose to call them, relating to the electoral affairs in Florida, have created much excite- ment here. There is bet one thing fully demonstrated by them—that there exists somewhere, in somebody, the very black- ness of darkness, infamy and meanness too vile for expression ; but where, er in whom, docs not yet appear. The attempt to de- fame and blacken, onthe one hand, can scarcely be less despicable than the very d2ed done--if done i was—-on the other.
To-day has been mentioned as a time for breaching the question concerning the Pre- sident’s title in Congress. _ Should the de- cision be reached that Mr. Hayes was not elected, would that not make Wheeler Pre- sident ? And if Mr. Wheeler should re- sign also, would that not place the Presi- dent pro tem of the Senate, or the Speaker of the House in the Presidential chair?
The Tariff Bill appears to make no pro- gress whatever, and hon. Fernando Wood is in the dumps accordingly.
Mr. Brown and the Catholic League.
{From the Toronto Mail. |
Those Irish Catholics who in 1871 cove- nanted with Mr. Brown to give him votes in barter forsrepresentation in the Legis- lature and a share of the public patronage, are now realising what it is to come out at the small end of the horn. They kept their part of the compact faithfully. It was the Irish Catholic vote that gave Mr. Brown Ontarie in 1871 and 1872, and enabled him to hold his winnings in [874 and 1875. But he, the party of the second part, has failed to fulfil his contract. He accepted the Cath- olic votes with profuse thanks, but having seen his friends safely in power in the Pro- vince and the Dominion, his intercourse with the League chiefs became leas and less cordial and to-day he treats them as if he owed them nothing. Of the morality or patriotism of the agreement of 1871, it is not necessary to speak at this time of day. Be the bargain what it may in that light, it was nevertheless a bargain ; and if we can- not fully sympathise with the Leaguers in their betrayal, it is impossible to do other- wise than condemn Mr. Brown’s ingratitude and breach of faith. For the political sup- port he obtained from the League on cer- tain conditions, he has returned no sort of value. The Irish Catholics have had no re- presentative man in the Dominion Cabinet as promised, With avast majcrity at h's back, Mr. Brown has passed over the League almost contemptuously, and given vacant portfolios to men much less worthy of the honour and less fit for the position hoth morally and intellectually.

Joun Donovan, of this town, fell in the hold of the bark Lizzie Cameron on the 15th ult. while that vessel was detained at Cari- boo Cove, and sustained very severe inter- nal injuries, which resulted in his death on Monday last. The captain, recognizing his condition, sent him to Charlottetown in the S. S. Prince Edward, from whence he came home on Wednesday night, having received no medical treatment in the meantime. His sutierings were very severe for two or three days previous to his death, which took place on Monday morning at nine o'clock. He was 38 years of age, and leaves a wife and two small children.—K.

| Tmmense Loss of Life and Destruc- tion of Property.
ee
New York, May 3.—A terrific mill ex- plosion and fire (including five flouring and one planing mill) occurred in Minneapolis, Minnesota, * yesterday, by which at least seventeen persons lost their lives and it is jeared a greater number have perished. The loss of property was enormous. A rough calenlation places it at a million and a half dollars, of which a million will fall upon the milling interests. The loss throughout the city by breaking of glass, ete., will amount to $10,000. Five flour mills and a planing mill were destroyed, besides ad- joining property, including 87 out of 147 rims of stone in the city. '

The balance of all his estate to be invest- ed, and the interest paid to his siaters, Mary Cochran and Annie, wife of Senator Miller ; at their death to his cousins, Thos. and Mary Cochran; if they should die be- fore the two sisters, the legacy to go to the Archbishop of Halifax ; but if they should be twenty-five years old when the legacy would be due to them, then to revert to them absolutely. The will was signed 13th April, 1878, and Messrs T. E. Kenny and M. Dwyer are executors.
Tut New York ‘‘Herald” says that, all denials to the contrary notwithstanding, Beecher’s legal advisers are now engaged in sifting evidence of a conspiracy between Tilton and Moulton, which will shortly come before the Courts. The object’of the conspiracy was, itis said, to levy heavy blackmail on the wealthy congregation of Plymouth Chureh, and to ruin Beecher be- sides. Another “imutual friend” will shortly appear on the stage and tell the whole story. ,

An honest farmer once led his two tur- keys into his granary, and told them to eat, drink and be merry. One of these turkeys was wise and one foolish. The foolish bird at once indulged excessively in the pleasure of the stable, unsuspicions of the future ; but the wiser fowl, in order that he might not be fattened and slaugh- tered, fasted continually, mortified his flesh, and devoted himself to gloomy reflections upon the brevity of life. When thanks- giving approached, the honest farmer killed both turkeys, and by placing a stone in the interior of the prudent turkey made him weigh more than his plumber brother, Moral : Dum virvimus viramus,
