The Ashburton Herald AND Borough and County Advertiser (With which is incorporated the “Evening Echo"). TUESDAY, JULY 7, 1879.

The Borough Loan. —As has been already announced, the ratepayers meet ing re the £15,000 loan is to be held to night.

Election of a Pastor. —A meeting of the Presbyterian congregations in the district—comprising Ashburton, Water ton, and Wakanui —was held in the Ash burton Church. The purpose of the meeting was to take steps for supplying the vacancy in the pastorate. The Rev. Mr. Elmslie was Moderator. The meet ing began at half-past sis, and, owing to the early hour, the Moderator, to allow of the presence at the election of a pastor, of those who could not attend at half past six, proceeded with such matters of routine as fixing a salary for the new clergyman. The meeting decided to offer £3OO a year to the pastor they might call, also to re move the manse from its present exposed position on the terrace near the river to a more shelterd place by the roadside. Also to extensively repair the building and erect a stable for the minister’s use. Shortly after seven o’clock Mr. Andrew Orr proposed that the Church give a call to the Rev. Alex. M. Beatty, M.A., a clergyman who has only recently arrived in the colony, but who has already made himself highly popular as a minister of the Gospel. Mr. Beatty has also preached to large congregations in the Ashburton Church and district meeting places. The proposal by Mr. Orr was seconded by Mr. G. M. Robinson, and carried unani mously. Several delegates were present from the Waterton and Wakanui districts, and testified to Mr. Beatty’s popularity in the country. The Moderator expressed his satisfaction at the unanimity displayed in the choice of Mr. Beatty, and spoke in glowing terms of his success as a student and preacher. The Presbytery meets on Thursday first, and owing to the unanimity displayed by the congregations there is every likelihood, if Mr. Beatty accepts the call, which is not doubted, of the induction taking place with a month.

“The Warfare Between Science and Religion.” —Last night, to a very fair audience, considering the uninviting weather, the Rev. Mr. Elmslie, delivered his lecture on “The Warfare between Science and Religion,” in the Presbyterian Church. Mr. Duncan Cameron occupied the chair, and introduced the rev. gentle man, who, after opening the subject with an eloquent introduction, detailed the hard battle the discoveries of science had had to fight for centuries with religion, as represented by the church: centuries elapsed before the earth’s sphericity was accepted as a fact : the discoveries of astronomy had been opposed bitterly ; those of chemistry, of anatomy, of geo logy, and the doctrines of political economy ; and many of the votaries of science had suffered in her cause. On the other hand, science, now that she had triumphed over ignorance, and that the Bible had long ceased to be regarded as a text-book of science, now assumed a more and more hostile attitude towards religion, and exhibited an exclusiveness and an impatience of the divine which bereft the hostile votaries of science of much of their usefulness. The lecturer ably showed that between real science—as as apart from speculation—there was no hostility, and from science alone the Christianity of the Bible had nothing to fear. The lecture, which exhibited great scholarly ability, was listened to atten tively, and at its close votes of thanks were given to Mr. Elmslie and the chair-

man. Legal Depositions. —Yesterday Judge Johnstone was very severe upon the depositions of witnesses sent up from out side Magistrates’ Courts. These deposi tions are made to contain a maximum quantity of words with a minimum quan tity of evidence. In some cases they are prepared in an exceedingly slovenly man ner, and the orthography is sometimes absurd. In one instance the word “ lien ” was spelled “lean.” In the case against Maddox, for fradulent bankruptcy, there were 32 pages, with 138 errata, certified by the Magistrate. In another case, one of arson, His Honor said the depositions contain an enormous mass of stuff, but are without any caption at the top or veri fication at the bottom. They are what I may call higgledy-piggley and disgraceful. I am not quite aware how it was done, but I see that at Home a judge has fined a Magistrate’s clerk £2O. When I have ascertained how I will give them a warn ing. Holloway’s Ointment and Pills.— Autumn is proverbially the season of sickness : then the blood requires purification, the diges tion demands thorough and attentive regula tion, and all the secretions call for correction. Holloway’s remedies supply all the necessaries for securing health; the one overcomes cuta neous diseases, sores, ulcerations, abscesses, carbuncles and all visible imperfections; the other acts most potently in cleansing the emu lation, strengthening me stomach, governing the liver, regulating the bowels and reducing the entire system m order. '1 hus these twin medicaments furnish the most efficient medi cine chest available for family use, It is easier, through Holloway’s discovery, to point out the remedy than to describe the disease ; ; into the former no fallacy can intrude ; into the > latter prejudice may unwillingly creep. | Advt,

LAST NIGHT'S CABLEGRAMS.

AUSTRALIAN [Renter's Telegrams). Sydney, July 7. Sailed —Tararua on Saturday for Auckland.

The Bowen’s cargo for New Zealand consists of 600 chests of tea, 400 packages sundries. Telegrams from Jerilderie state that a Kelly raid is expected there.

Melbourne, July 7. Le Loup is backed to win ,£20,000 for the Cup. The Weiberg case is remanded.

Further News from the Cape. Adelaide, July 7. The following further Cape news was received per Lusitania :

Colonial Pearson has been invalided Home.

Sir Bartle Frere had returned to Cape Town, where he was enthusiastically received.-

A large quantity of commissariat stores have been burnt at Greyton.

The alleged intention of the Zulus to make a raid into Natal is devoid o f foundation.

The rumour of the death of Chard is without foundation. |

A portion of the submarine cable has arrived.

The British advance into Zululand commenced on May 29th. It was ex pected the troops would at once make a dash for Ulindi, Cetewayo’s chief kraal. Owing to heavy rains much sickness prevails amongst officers and men of the coast column.

It is stated that reinforcements have joined Cetewayo, and that the Yeoman, ry camp was surprised by Zulus on the 29 th May. [Special to Globe.) A correspondent’s account of the death of the Prince Imperial states that he received fifteen asse gai wounds. Captain Carr, of the Seventy-Eighth, who was in charge of the party, is gravely censured, and a court martial will be held. When the Zulus fired, Carr and others rode away, neglecting the Prince, and others whose horses bolted. The Prince thus be came the victim of the savages.

ASHBURTON CASES AT THE SUPREME COURT.

At yesterday’s sitting of the Christ church Supreme Court, all the cases of interest to the Ashburton people were disposed of. The two cases under the Fradulent Debtors Act—one against Daly, the notorious “ horse ” case : and the other against Maddox, who was kept hanging on for such a length of time during the interregnum between the departure of Mr. Le Grand Camp bell and the arrival of Mr. Guinness — suddenly collapsed, and the parties de clined to prosecute. In the case of Maddox, Judge Johnston said the prosecutor, Mr. Sando, for declining to prosecute had rendered himself liable to a fine of £IOO. The Judge did not suppose Mr. Sando would hear anything more of the case, but it was unwise to rush into cases of this kind. The Crown did not prosecute unless there was some very special reason. Maddox was dismissed.

In the case of James Daly, Mr. Mann said he was advised by his solicitor not to prosecute. His Honor spoke strongly on the subject of binding over wit nesses to appear in cases of this kind, and not binding over parties to prose cute. The witnesses could sue Mr. Mann for their expenses. Blnntern, for cheque forgery, was sentenced to two years penal servitude, to commence when the term had con cluded which prisoner was now serving for a similar offence committed at Timaru.

Alfred Morey, for stealing a cheque for is guineas, drawn by Mr. Edward Procter, in favor of Mr. Geo. Kidd, blacksmith, was sentenced to twelve months’ imprisonment with hard labor. Moray had been previously convicted. William Johnston was acquitted of the charge of forging and uttering a receipt for £ 6. The case was heard last week in the K M. Court here. His Honor the Judge said it was quite clear a fraud had been committed but it was difficult to get at it, and nobody had been defrauded though there was an evident intention to mislead. He pointed out to prisoner while admon ishing him, that his escape had been a very narrow one. George Hamilton was discharged, the grand jury having found no bill against him on the charge of file raising at Tinwald.

Sir Walter Trevelyan has left his fine cellar of wines to Dr. B. W. Richard son, F.R.S., for scientific purposes. It is rumored that the eminent apostle of total abstinence contemplates carrying out the intention of the bequest by sell ing the wines, which are estimated to realise at least ,£4,000, and founding a model hospital with the proceeds.

NATIVE ITEMS.

[From Northern Exchanges. )

There is a well-founded belief that Te Whiti has a stronghold or magazine behind Parihaka, surrounded by bush, and that his having sent all his arms, etc., there accounts for the absence of any warlike preparations at Parihaka.

The Maoris of the Manawatu district ntend holding a “jubilee” in January next to celebrate their conversion to Christianity. A circular to that effect, says the Manawatu Herald, has been sent to Governor Robinson, the Native Minister,. Bishop Hadfield, and a large number of native chiefs und clergymen in all parts of the island. Another instance of the injury being done to business in the disturbed native district is afforded by the Herald’s re port of the late meeting of the New Ply mouth Quarterly Licensing Court. With respect to the application of George Beamish for a license to the Oeo Hotel, the Court said the evidence ad duced showed that the applicant was in every respect a fit and proper person to keep a licensed house, but in the present aspect of affairs, the license of the Oeo Hotel would be suspended on grounds, of public policy, but the application could be renewed at any Quarterly Li censing Meeting, upon the advent of a more favorable condition of things. The applicant also admitted that he had re cently been warned that the coach road was stopped for travellers. So long as this was the case the Court was of opinion that the renewal of the license was unnecessary.

The commercial depression in the Waitara district can scarcely be credited in other parts of the colony, but it is a fact that all business is at a stand-still. Buildings in course of erection are left unfinished; intending settlers go further on, and thousands of pounds’ worth of orders are countermanded in conse quence of the uncertain state of affairs.

At first Te Whiti said the pakehas would go without objection, and there would be no bloodshed; but now, when things look move serious, he tells them they are to go on in spite of all, and that the bullets of the pakeha will go first one side of them and then the other.

There is not the least doubt that when affairs do come to a crisis, the volun teers in the province will prove them selves good men and true, and will per form what is required of them willingly and ably. There are now about 1,400 volunteers in the: disaffected districts from Urenui to Wanganui. The Maori quarters at Manukovihi Pah are right in the township of Wai tara. The pah is on a cliff, from whence, in the event of fighting, the natives can command the whole town ship. There are sometimes 60 or 70 men in this pah, who are very sulky. It is hard to say .whether they are all armed, although all means have been tried by various people to find out. The people are indignant that the Go vernment will not grant permission to build a block house between the pah and the edge of the cliff, where there is ample room. The building will be built by volunteer labor if the Govern ment would grant permission and find the timber. As it is the townspeople can feel no security until this is done. There has been a great deal said about the Maoris not wanting to fight. If questioned they all say, “no fight; ” but it is strange that they will offer almost any price for powder or arms; A mistake made by the people south is that the Maoris have, no arms or am munition at Parihaka. It is well known that there is scarcely a Maori that visits Parihaka who has not arms there. Until recently you could scarcely enter a whare at Parehaka without seeing one or more guns hanging up, and it has been stated by Maoris themselves that when Hiroka went there first he uaed to sleep with loaded guns or even revolvers within his reach.

A correspondent of the Post, writing from Patea on Sunday, says the Native difficulty is ,now assuming the appear ance of ridiculous fiasco, and it cer tainly is high time that the Government should do more than just take these obstinate ploughmen prisoners. This way of acting is considered only ' an aggravation of the difficulty, and will do little towards mending matters.: It is time means were adopted to ensure the immediate capture of Te Whiti and Hiroki, an.d so bring matters to a climax. The Normanby volunteers are so' much annoyed at the persistent neglect of the Government in not allowing them payment, that they have resolved to render their services only up to Monday next. They will only carry out those regulations which are necessary as a volunteer corps, and no more. Men are already leaving, and several are waiting the decision of the Government, when, if it is unfavorable, they will leave, and be followed by nearly all * the rest. The corps that is now will then virtually not exist. At the trial of the Natives before being brought to Wellington, Te Ike said that; if Te Whiti was making fools of them, he would have to pay for it. The Natives were persistent as to the title of the land, and that was the only point they could argue ..in justification of their action.

The. Governors of Australia and New Zealand have received a circular from the Secretary of State, to the effect that, should ex-President Grant visit the colonies, no official honors, but all proper courtesies, should be extended to him.

JUDGE JOHNSTON ON FORGERY.

In charging the Grand Jury yesterday His Honor Judge Johnson said, regard ing the cases of forgery that came be fore him : One is quite tired of repeat ing trite observations about the facilities given for committing this crime. I have disallowed expenses at Timaru, in order to see if we cannot coax the generality of people to use something like caution in this matter. The conduct of people in certain classes, especially publicans and small tradesmen, is such as to posi tively offer encouragement to forgers by the utterly reckless way in which, for men unknown, they change the cheques of men whom they don’t know, and whose writing, they don’t know. No doubt there are certain palliations for this, from the fact that people are paid their wages by cheques. This makes the thing explicable, but we have the startling fact that in the colony there is an amount of forgery in propor tion to the number of population that in Europe would give a country a name for more dishonesty than the world has ever heard of. I should not like to say anything positive on this point, but I fear that the proportion here would be a hundredfold greater than in Europe. We must invite or force the community to assist in putting a stop to the com mission of this crime.

NEWS AND NOTES.

Recently at a Trade Conference in England one speaker made some lively observations on “real ” free trade. He claimed more causes than one for the present depression of trade in England but the true cause was the absence of real free t/ade. “It was,” ■ said. ; he, “ England’s boast to be the champion of free trade among nations, but the sheer humbug of her claims must be apparent when they found she gathered from customs and excise —more than half the entire revenue. If England were to relinquish this mockery and to inaugurate real • free trade she would soon more than treble her exports of home produce. Suppose he took the cause of Spain. By put ting an almost prohibitory duty on Spanish wines the markets of Spain were deliberately shut against England. She exported no more than of her products to Spain, while she im ported from that country Spain wanted textile fabrics, which she did not produce herself, and she took them from England. England. wanted wine, which she did not produce her self, and she took it from Spain. Instead of exchanging these articles freely, free-trading England put enor mous duties upon Spanish wines and very naturally Spain returned the com pliment on textile fabrics. So went the game of ‘ Beggar my neighbor,’ which wise men called free trade. Any man who spoke of English free trade should go to Gravesend and watch the operations of the army of custom-house officers stationed there. From all parts of the -world ships came floating up the broad bosom of the river Thames to discharge their cargoes in the metropolis of the world. And as. each came floating up a swarm of 1 free-trade ’ servants fell upon it like a flock of vultures swooping down on their prey. ‘ t Every nook and corner of the ship was examined from top to bottom, and the course of the vessel itself would be stopped if the diligent searchers who had become its legal masters should deem it needful. And to call this free trade ! No wonder that the assertion'ot. English free trade, has become a laughing stock among the nations of the world.”

An Irish glazier was putting a pane of glass into a window when a groom who was standing by began joking him, telling him to mind and put in plenty of putty. The Irishman bore the ban ter for some time, but a last silenced his tormentor with, “ Arrah, now, be off wid ye, or I’ll put a pain in your head without any putty.” ' Miss Lovina Goodsell, a Wisconsin young woman, having drawn a bill and procured a passage through the Legis lature authorising ,the admission of women to the Bar on' the same terms as men, has; been herself admitted, and has conducted several cases success fully...

On dit that Mr. Albert Grant is going to seek a fortune in America. It can hardly be said that the great speculator has been reduced to a state, of penury by the misfortunes which have fallen on him. Many years ago he settled on his wife and it is currently reported, that, Mrs. Grant enjoys a pri vate income of per annum. The correspondent of a London paper describes an Afghan beauty as having blue-black hair plastered stiff with gum, and either worn in various forms on the head or plaited in,long braids down the back. The margins of the ears are pierced and decorated with small silver rings, while large rings hang from the lobes. The neck .and breast are tattooed with little figures of stars and flowers, and the sparkle of the lus trous black eyes is enhanced by coating the lids with black antimony. The cheeks are rouged and dotted with little round moles of gold and silver tinsel fastened on with gum. A loose muslin or silk jacket of yellow,, blue, or red, hangs below the qwaist, and wide trousers of silk or other colored mate rials complete indoor costume. On going out the lady wears leggings of cotton cloth, gartered at the knee, shoes of yellow or red leather, and a boor kaposh or cloak.
