Meoting at Kensington.

A large and influential meeting of the electors of the Fourth Electoral District of Prince County was held at Kensington, ac- cording to notice previousby given, on Tues- day afternoon, the 11th inst. ~ The Repre- sentatives of the District, the Commissioner of Public Works, His Worship the Mayor of Charlottetown, and several prominent men from other districts, were present. Mr. John Hogg, having been called to the Chair, briefly stated that the object for which the meeting was called, and intro- duced the Hon. W. G. Strong. He said he was glad to meat so many of the electors on the present occasion. He wished to hear al expression of opinion, and invited. those who had grievances to make them known.

Mr. J. Howaey, who was the next to ad- dress the meeting, said there seems to be a great mistake somewhere. Confederation had relieved the local Government of most of the work, and yet, what was left to be done by them cost more than the whole ex- penditure previous to Confederation. He condemned the Assessment Act, and said the valuations had been unjustly made. He knew of farmers who hid their improve- ments rather than have them valued. He said the present Act would hinder the growth of the country and stop improve- ments. He condemned portions of the School Act. Trustees were the proper per- sons to value the property in the School District. He wanted the Legislative Coun- cil abolished, and the members pay re- duced. He believed that if the salaries of officials were cut down at least fifteen thous- and dollars could be saved. Condemned exempting the towns from the same Ass- essment as the country Assessment. It was time the people awoke to their own interest. The Government has acted as though the people, and not the representa- tives, were the servants.

Mr. Laird acknowledged that what Mr. Howatt said was true. Confederation should have lessened the expenses of legislation in this Island. He would not condemn the late Government, but said that the present Government ruled the country cheaper. He believed that taxation, in some form, was necessary, as the revenue was too small to meet the wants of the country. He con- sidered the present Assessment was col- lected cheaper than the old system of land tax, which was played out. He spoke on i sin the School Act, and said ch were taxed mire” the} poor were relieved. (Cries of No! No!)

Mr. Calhoun said if any wrong had been done to the people it Mad been done inno- cently. Never received anything from the Gevernment but his pay as member.

Mr. Lea said he was not satisfied alto- gether with the present School Act, but be- lieved itan improvement on the former ; said if the Towns were assessed the same as the Country, the Country would lose, as the town would take more out of the re- venue than they put in.

Mr. Sinclair, from Malpeque, having been respectfully called, spoke at some length ; was not satisfied with the acts of the pre- sent Government. The firmers were not used to having spies go round valuing their property. Did not like some portions of the School Act; believed it was copied from New Brunswick, and did not suit the coun- try as well as our former Act. Our system of Government should have been reduced when we went into Confederation. Be- lieved that our present revenue was suffi- cient for all ordinary expenditure with care, and if more money was wanted it was bet- ter to borrow at 5 per cent., which could be done, than collect it from the country at an expense of 15 per cent. He hoped the people would insist on not only repealing but erasing the present Assessment Act from the Statute Book.

The following resolution, moved by Mr. James Brehaut, and eeconded by Wm. Day, was, after considerable discussion, put to the meeting, aud carried by a large majority :—

That, Whereas, The Government have im- posed heavy burdens upon the people without their consent, from which the incorporated towns and villages are unjustly exempt ;

And Whereas, They have empowered the Lieutenant Governor by an order in Coun- cil to place toll gates across the public roads;

And Whereas, That the Government have unnecessarily increased the salaries of the old officials, and have created a large staff of new and unnecessary office-holders,

Resolved Therefore, That in the opinion of this meeting the Government have forfeited the respect and confidence of the country and should resign.

G. W. Bentuey, Secretary. Kensington, Dec. 12, 1877.

The German fortifications on the Russian frontier are being pushed forward so rapidly that they will probably be completed before the stipulated time, which is the end of the year 1880. Of the nine detached forts around Posen, three will be handed over to the military administration next year, three more in 1879, and the three others in 1880. The enlargement of the fortress at Thorn will be proceeded with noxt spring, and five detached forts will be built around it at the same time. The outer forts at Konigsberg, of which there will be five, and a sixth fort which was-commenced two years ago at the village of Quednau, near that city, will all be finished by the spriny of next year, and Konigsberg will then be defended by twelve forts altogether. An equal degree of act- ivity prevails in the other strong places on the Russian frontier of Prussia.

To the Editor of the Daily Examiner:

Dear Siz,—When the new Licensing Board came into operation the friends or temperance and justice had every reason to expect that a very marked change for the better in the licensiug system would ensue, and even-handed justice wotld be measuxed out alike to all parties. Ist, The disrep..- table rum-shops would, at all events, be closed. 2nd, Most certainly all those who had infringed the laws, i. e., selling on Sun- days and to miners, etc., would be instantly retused a renewal of license. 3rd, The cit- izens expected that the expression of the wishes of the inhabitants in the block and opposite street, in regard to any particular license, would be carefully and impartially ascertained before the license was finally granted. Inregard to the first two, we await further developments. Some licenses will be soon under the consideration of the ‘Council of Three,” when we know they have been fined for selling on Sunday, seli- ing to minors, and, in fact, breaking the laws of the land in every conceivable form. We do not expect much from the Board as it now stands; but we do not think they ought to reward the law breakers. We will soon see. Now, sir, as regards the last count, 1 must unhesitatingly charge the Board and their Secretary with the grossest negligence and systematic carelessness in the way the votes of the ratepayers in the block and opposite side of the street where the tavern license effects have been taken—

whom it is taken, ete. I know for certain that some ratepayers in the district are never approached ; their names purposely left out of the electoral list, drawn out, per- haps, by some Councillor deeply immured in the malt and liquor traffic. I would like to know who has the authority to make out the list. The City Assessor certainly ought to have the correct one, and as certainly should his list be strictly adhered to. I have heard of one of the Licensing Board— Mr. John Frazer—going round with the Secretary actually soliciting votes for the ere .Mr. Robert Crabbe’s license. hens. tha-rumsallens _put him i Per- haps he is pledged to t - qn would not blame him for keeping his pledge; but I do not think he need pledge himself any more. We like to see a man take one side or the other ; then we can deal with him. Of what good is it in the ‘‘ Temper- ance Reform Club” trying to do good to our fellow-citizens, or the ‘‘ Woman’s Temper- ance Union” taking trouble to see every per- son in the districts and ask them for their own sakes, the sakes of their families, for God’s sake, to think twice before they sign for a rumseller in their midst, amongst their families,. if the Secretary never bothers about going for their signa- tures, and license after license is grant- ed in districts where the majority of the people are against it. I am one of the Vigilance Committee of the Reform Club, and can soberly speak also for the rest of that Committee. We are determined to leave nothing undone, that can be done, to put down rum-shops in our midst, and we will see the law strictly and impartially car- ried out. We certainly have a right to ex- pect that. Weask for the sympathy and co-operation of the respectable portion of the community. We naturally look to the members of the ‘‘ Catholic Abstinence Union of Prince Edward Island” for assist- ance in our mutual work, and we seek God’s blessing and guidance in the good work that we have undertaken.

Capture of the Chief Stronghold of the Jowakis in India.

A special despatch from Calcutta to the Times says: ‘‘ Jummu, the chief stronghold of the Jowakis, has been taken by the British. Our loss was trifling. The expe- dition, so far, has met with uninterrupted success.” This expedition consisted of 2,100 infantry, with six guns and a small number of cavalry under the command of General Keyes. It entered the Jowaki ter- ritory on the morning of the 9th of Novem- ber, in three columns, from Shadipore, Gambat and Kebat, and was sent to punish the Jowakis for repeated outrages. The plan of operations is stated to be to hold a line of country in the Jowaki territory, from which an advance may be made ac- cording to circumstances, and which will be retained until the Jowakis surrender un- conditionally. The terms to be imposed comprise a heavy fine, compensation for all plundering of property, the surrender of all firearms of English manufacture, the con- struction of a military road through the enemy's country, and the surrender of the head men most active against the Govern- ment, and of the leaders of the late night attack on the post of Strayvkot, and also the destruction of the fortified towers in the Jowakis villages. The Times’ despatch con. tinues: ‘‘A Lahore paper states that ad- vices from Cabal are still harping on war and warlike preparations. ‘hese state- ments are unconfirmed officially. I am in- formed, moreover, that the Ameer has, on the-contrary, been actually putting a pres- sure to deter the themselves withthe Jowakis in the prese contest,
