McKim, the member of the Ontario Legis- lature, whois concerued in the bribery case, and on whose testimony the Grit case chiefly resta, is a bard pill. Shortly after his elec- tion he failed in business, owing nearly every- body, and leaving no assets for the general creditors. Among his outside creditors were « Hamilton firm to whom he owed $1300. They got a judgment, but were unable to get it satistied, and have garaisheed the $1,000 bribery money placed by McKim in the Speaker's hands. So it will be seen that the

THE DaInYy # LETTERS PO THE EDITOR. Schooner gwen for Charter.
A Faithful Public Servant.
Sirn,—lIf you will turn to your fyle of
27th of contains an appeal to the Local Government on behalf of an old and faithful public servant—Mr. Pe'er DesBrisay.
The young people of the present day may
|} not remember him as the Assistant Post- master in Charlottetown, under the Jate Mr. Owen, senior, but for nearly twenty | years he slaved im that wretched den of an office. From eu!y morn till midnight he
|s ood behind the little wicket answering | the innumerable queries of the publie with | &@ patience and courtesy st ll kindly remem- bered. In leed, it Was an open question | whether he ever ate or slept, or even pos- sessed body or lecs. whether he was more than a living talking head, for he was misse | from his post nor seen on thie street. Call at what hour you would, he was there to answer, For loyalty to his party he was dismissed from oftice by the Liberals on their aceession in 1867, who re placed him, strange to say, by a Conserva- tive, nor was he employed in the public ser- Vice again until 1872,when he was appointed Assistant Colonial Secretary at a miserably small salary. In tltis position he remained until 1876, when, by his own political friends he was still further reduced in both rank and pay, and thus continued until 1879 when, as you said in your article, to which | refer, ‘‘ with a refinement of heartlessness the present Government invoked the three estates of the realm, and passed an Act of the Legislature taking away the living of one of their oldest and most faithful officials, and making no provision whatever for his old age.” 1] quote further. “No solvent merchant, manufacturer, ceale®or huckster—no man— would so treat a persun who had, under such circumstances, spent a life-time ir his employ.”
Mr. DesBrisay’s case is one of peculiar
—
hardship. For his unwavering allegianée to the Conservative party he was turned out of the position of Postmaster- General of the Island, and it was
confidently expected that, upon the return of the Conservative party to power in 1870, althongh the Government was a coalition, he would be replaced in the position he lost. This, however, was not done, bué a violent opponent of the administration was retained at the head of that department, a Grit of the purest water, whom tha Conser- vatives were forced at last to ‘dismiss, shortly before we entered confederation. Had Mr. DesBrisay been re-instated in the Post Office, in a few years he would have been entitled to superannuation, and the
declining days of his life would not be tertured, as they now are, bv the thought of his soon leavirg tehid him a helpless family, uvprovided for. The Hon. Joseph Pope, after less than five years service under the
Dominion, on account of his long service to the Local Government, is retired with an allowance of $1,260 a year. Mr. DesBrisay, with a service of nearly forty years under the L-ciul Government, is deliberately legislated out of the paltry office he held, without an allowance of one cent. Is this fair!/—is it honest !
Tt may be replied that Mr. DesBrisay’s usefulness has gone, and that he is too old. I reply that he is neither tov old nor too useless to" be referred to, almost every week. by the present official in the Colonial Building, when they want information, or to find a paper that they cannot lay their hands upop. In the course of my business, and I think a good many lawyers wil] bear me out when I say that, I have often made enquiries in the Government offices which could not be answered untill Mr. DesBrisay was sent for tou come down from his house, and I certainly thought such an action pretty cool, to say the least. °
I do trust that the Government will see to say nothing of the propriety, of making some provision for Mr. DesBrisay in his old age, by at least utilizing his services in some of the Public Departments, and thus remove a stigma that so justly attaches to them as public men.

The “Hawkeye” Editor Assaulted.
The Burlington, lowa, Hawkeye, on the 18th inst., published a humorous illustrated sketch of the celebration of St. Patrick’s day, but in such a manner as to Jeave no doubt in the mind of anyone that its pur- pose wasfun. Thomas P. Kelly, however, was greatly offended by its publication and next day, accompanied by another man, both being greatly under the influence of liquor, walk into the editorial room and
ly invited them into his private room. Kelly, who is much larger than Mr. Bur- dette, rushed upon him, and soon both were on the floor in a rough-and-tumble fight. Other persons succeeded in separat- ing them, but the faces of both were badly disfigured. Kelly, before going in search of Mr. Burdette, provided himself with two revolvers, and his companion carried a knife.
