For a tirpe, the difficulty with the Maoris seemed to be one, judged; by the discreet rejjorts which reached us from the North, of easy solution at the hands ) of joffieials possessed, of j tact, and some influence with the Natives ; and we hoped that, after the affair with

the Plains surveyors had blown over, the Premier and the Native Minister would have been equal to the task of 'talking The rebfils into reason. But no amount of ’talk; /either of men high m office or men of low degree, seems to have any effect upon the 'fanatically defiant spirit'rthat. has got into the Maoris, arid-is impelling them to acts which, perpetrated by Europeans, would meet swift and severe punishment. All along, the Natives have expressed a de sire to avoid bloodshed, yet they act as if they.'courted /war—that is, judging their conduct as the conduct of rational men would be judged—while the Go vernment in dealing with them exhibit a desire to conciliate, and make no effort to hide their willingness to yield njuch if only the Maoris will be coaxed into quietness. It is right to bear in mind, when treating : \yith ',the ; Natives, that they are 'only half civilised —not yet very highly elevated above the habits and instincts of their originally savage state -r-and to make 'every , allowance and concession for this which justice and humanity require. But it is also fight to remember that law and order must be maintained in the colony, and that the Natives must respect law and order as well as the Europeans. ; The same savage instincts which demand our for bearance in treating with them also warn us what will result from allowing ourselves to be trifled with ; for, should the idea which the Maoris seem to have got hold of—that Government is] afraid of, them and will, not, dare resort to strong measures—become a fixed belief in their minds, there is no saying to what excesses this misguided notion may lead them. That they can ■ defy Government with impunity is evidently now affixed idea;in the minds of ailarge section of the northern Natives, and .re cent events go to show it. _We have Te Whiti’s insolent defiance in the re moval of the surveyors, and now we have settlers’ lands entered upon and appropriated. In another district we; ■have a train , stopped, and the, guard threatened with tomahawking. At the Cambridge Land Court we have a chief threatening to stop; the Court’s proceedings, if certain claims of his own were not recognised; while in the Patea district a Waitotara native, armed with a double-barrelled gun, threatens mis chief to the Pakeha settlers, j The 'Pakeha settlers are clamoring; for arms and armed men in the districts where danger seems to threaten, and in one district, it is said, their temper jis so severely tried over the trouble with the Maoris that they threaten themselves ,t 6 try?* conclusions; 'with their j dusky neighbors. The Maori is “no fool,” as Mr. Wason said; and he knows full-well that if the Pakeha loads his rjfle in earnest it will be indeed a black day for the Maori, who has already had sufficient evidence of the Pakeha’s ability to fight, and possesses knowledge enough of the Europeans’ numbers in v the colony as compared with his own ;to teach him that a game of war will not pay him to play. The expressed aversion to war of the Maori Chiefs, in all interviews between them and Go vernment officers, proves that they‘are ‘fullyT alive to the disastrous j conse iquences of it, and therefore we are forced to the conclusion that they hold, the Europeans and their Government in such contempt as to believe .that all they have done and are doing; can be done with,, impunity, and that; a bold front shown by" them will have the effect of coercing the Government to their wishes. Tb'"disabuse the*' Native' mind of this foolish notion is the work now filling the Government’s hands, j It is a Work with ' which' they make’ : slow pro gress, and should they fail in accom plishing it soon it will be necessary for them to take the measures to do it which will not fail, but which the Maoris seem to-,think; will never be/adopted against them. If all other means fail, then nothing else is left to the Europeans but those measures. Gradually, armed men are being drafted into the disturbed districts, and if we may judge from .Sir George Grey’s rematks to the'deputation headed by Major Atkinson, he is pie pared for this event and has his plans laid. He told them that when danger threatened the settlers, forces would be at hand to protect, them. ; These may be the words-of a diplomatist —words that may mean there is no danger, or may cover complete arrangements made fora tough struggle—but at any rate they are an assurance that when the time for action comes he will not be ■unready. The situation is too dangerous to-be longer dallied with by a coaxing and temporising policy, and whether the harsh measure? are to be taken only against Te Whiti (who q.eems to be the evil spirit/vinost at work) asd his fol J lowers, or . against the whole Native race in the North Istand, the time has come when the evil requires to be grasped with an iron hand.; If not allayed :at] this juncture, nt&y be crushed with the, show of a bold'and resolute front, if' may have to be grap pled with when the .epjrjt now ruling the Maori mind has becoipe so strong as only to be extinguished by blood shed and h struggle to the 'bitter end. The question is not one of party but of the country; and as such the best aid that can be given to Government will, i be aecbjrded to then! by all; but their' I responsibility in the mattef is not less ened, and the trial of fh@ir statesman-, ship .will be .sev.er.e and decisive.

Telegrams of yesterday \ froiri the North Island are not re-assuring. It is now admitted;that Te Whitiis carrying on his acts of defiance from a fanatical belief in his own supernatural authority, and

there is no guarantee that to satisfy his craving for the confiscated land, hqmay not at any moment order the death of aiiy settler standing in his; .way. In view of • the worst, Government/are pushing on : military preparations armed men are being rapidly sent north, and training is being rapidly proceeded with. /In the settled districts volunteers are being en rolled, armed, and drilled for service,- while redoubts are being prepared with all speed at points where the skill of Colonel Whitmore may direct. The whole of the disturbed districts are being placed in a state of thorough defence, while arrange ments are being made to pit a thousand friendly natives against Te Whiti and his followers. . Warning and caution have been issued to outsettlers not to precipitate a crisis by any injudicious individual act, and; for their better safety women and children are being sent into town. It is hoped the appearance of earnestness pre sented by these preparations may yet calm the trouble, but having to deal with a superstitious madman like Te Whiti no results can be depended upon./ 70 or 80 ■cases bf cartridges are now on their way from England, and further supplies have been ordered. A Hawera telegram of June 3rd says : The rumors about Mr. Bayley’s family being murdered is en tirely without foundation. The Maoris are peaceful and quiet all around here, and are making no warlike professions, although they are preparing to resist any act of aggression on our part. A large meeting of Maoris took place at Mokau oii Sunday and again yesterday. Tauroa, one of the leading chiefs transported to Dunedin in May last, spoke eloquently to, the Natives, and pointed out the folly of going to Parihaka. He reminded them of their incarceration in Dunedin Goal, and warned them that they could not dare to hope for such kind treatment from their Southern friends again., He. was in a great measure successful. The fanatical; influence of Te Whiti is, however,. still spreading throughout the district like an after damp. Every reasonable means is being tried to stay it. The settlers are not frightened, raltho ugh .. they wisely in tend to prepare for an evil day, as a balance must be struck some day between Hiroki, Te Whiti, and the Government.

Our report of the County Council meet rig to-day is held over. 'V. I>. f "

The Borough Rate. —At the next meeting of the Borough Council Mr. Ivess will bring forward the following motion, of which he gave notice at last meeting:— “ That a rate of one shilling in the £ be struck upon the annual value of property for the year 1879 on the 30th of June, and made payable on the 31st July.

The Royal -■ Illusionists. Consider ing the present of trade, and the many circumstances which may just now be expected to militate against securing a good attendance at almost any entertain ment, no matter of how superior a class, the 'Royal Elusionists last night obtained', a remarkably full house, and the audience were riot long • in' discovering ! that in the Chevalier Thorn they had to watch a master ■ magician. -To begin with, Mr. Thorn told his “ dupes ” that he was not a professor of magic but of humbug. He claimed no aid from the “ spirits ” either spiritualistic or spirituous, and instead of. supernatural agency, he had only made use of the great aids to success in every thing patience : and pei severance. By these—well applied—he was able to chal lenge his audience to find out how he per formed his tricks : and to be successful in concealing how it was* done. ”V He then proceeded to ■ perform some remarkably clever conjuring tricks, some new, some old—but all executed with amazing dex terity. • After these came tricks with cards in which the Chevalier.was equally an adept. . Then cariie the cabinet “ busi ness,”; in which. Mr. Darvin was securely handcuffed by Trooper Farmer. witli a pair of regulation handcuffs—in fact, the - veritable ‘ ‘ darbies ” carried by him iri the interests of law and order. The handcuffs were locked by the constable, and the key taken away by him. Into the cabinet went Mr. Darvin, the doors were closed upon him, and in a few seconds his hands a yard asunder, were visible on the top of the cabinet. In a few seconds more the doors were opened • and the trooper re ceived his handcuffs locked to the back of the chair, and to the ear of a water-jug. From this position he could’only take them away by using the key with which he had first locked them on Mr. Dar Vin’s wrists. Chevalier Thom himself then performed the rope-tying feat. Securing himself in an apparently inextricable man ner to a common chair and subjecting himself to the examination of a committee from the audience, he was locked up ; but his knotted condition did riot prevent him from taking off and putting on a coat bor rowed from one of the committee, said coat being sewed up at the bosom, and the two sleeves sewed strongly together at the wrist. ■ During all the. time the per formers were supposed to be tied up or hapjuffed, aiftbouripes, etc., were thrown about by , tjipnn jioj-pg sp.qp.4e4, flffd §q.- forth. At the 'clos.e of sqe entertainment the Chevalier Thorn announced that to-: night the programme would undergo a complete change, and that the Davenport Ergs, triqk. >yqql4 >39 performed—narijely, Mr, Darvin and himself ifoui4.be tied in the cabinet, by gentlgmeq from ence, and would rgleage theniselves with out difficulty. We must not omit to men-” tioq pgfora wq close this notice, the pillory trick, which Mr. Darvin was firmly fixed and. safely locked jn q Sjtpoqg. wooden pillory, and the lock after being turned was sealed by the' ‘ ‘/vigilance; com mittee ” from the audience./. The .holes through which Mr. DarviAs head and hands were passed and shut down in were too small for the smallest adult hands or head to bq withdrawn from;, but after a few seconds he camo out of the cabinet leaving the lock still sealed aqd tliq pon : derous beam apparent!} 7 unmoved. The Illusionists’arc well worth a>visit, and spiritualists ought to make their acquaint ance.!

Complimentary Dinner to Mr. Mac- FARLANE, BANK MANAGER. —Mr. R. Mac .farlane, the urbane Manager of the Brink of; New Zealand, is to be entertained to-night to dinner in the Somerset Hotel. In token of the respect and esteem in which he is held by clients of the Bank and of the popularity he has secured during his stay in Ashburton, he will be presented with a valuable watch, suitably inscribed. The dinner will take place at half-past seven.

• A meeting of the Steeplechase Com mittee was held at Baldwin’s Hotel on Monday evening last. Present—Messrs* Crisp (in the Chair), Wilson, Ireland, Pooks, and Harrison. 1 The Hon. Treasurer submitted accounts from wh.ichit, .appeared that after payment of all liabilities the sum of £l3 13s 3d remained to the-credit of the Committee. It was resolved that ail honorarium of £3 3s be given jo Mr. Harrison in recognition of his services as Secretary and Treasurer, and that the balance of funds be handed to the Racing Club. Votes of thanks were accorded to Messrs. Hunt, Metcalfe, and Taylor for the use of their properties, and the Com mittee adjourned “ sine die.” A

A Cheese in Chancery.— On the oc casion of the Queen’s marriage, writes a correspondent, the people of East and West Pennard, in Somersetshire, in the Cheddar district, resolved to incorporate their loyalty in ai mighty cheese, to be presented as a bridal offering. The cheese was made, and graciously accepted by Her Majesty and Prince Albert. It weighed eleven hundred weight, was nine feet four inches in circuiriference; an'd twenty inches deep, and was the produce of seven hun dred and fifty cows. The farmers, after the presentation,'asked permission to ex hibit . .it;.’ hoping to make, some money. They took it from the place for that pur pose, and, in the. end Her Majesty naturally declined to have it back. The exhibitors . quarrelled among themselves, the cheese got into Chancery, and of course never got out again. :: ' 1 : Elected by, “ Yankee Grab. ” —A Ku mara yarn has it that two candidates for the Borough Council there, “threw” for the civic honor ; the loser retired, and thus;a contested.election was avoided.
