The Evening Star. TUESDAY, OCTOBER 25, 1870.

W_ have no doubt that it will be a source of satisfaction to learn that the qucestio vexata as to Mr. Gillies' candidature is set at rest by his consent given this morning to the deputation of requisitiou ists. Every one that knows the public career or private character of Mr. Gillies will give him credit for the sincerity of his expressions of regret in that he should seem to have been brought out in oppo sition to Mr. Williamson. Ajid we believe that ib is only in deference to the ex pression of a public call, which no public man would be warranted in disregarding, that he has consented to become a candi date before the constituency of City , We.._. The fact tjtwt the .requisition was numerously signed before Mr. William son had signified his intention of appealing to the electors, and when it was confi dently and generally believed in the city that this gentleman hud retired from pub lic life-, has removed all grounds of delicacy on the p..rt of the supporters of Mr. Gillie.-;. The Superintendent having been first in the field, could not in fairness to suppor ters have refused to concede to their wishes; and from the requisition which we have seen there, cannot be a doubt as to the result of his candidature. As will be seen from anoiher column, Mr. Gillies had given grounds for the rumour that he would not be a candidate; and his expressed reluctance at being brought out in opposition to Mr. Williamson was such as to induce one of his osvn most strenuous supporters to believe that nothing would overcome that reluctance, and so to inform a morning contemporary. ill doubts having now been removed, we trust that the friends and supporters of the Superintendent, not in a spirit of opposition to any one, but with a sole desire for the good of the city, the pro vince, and the country, will use their every effort to return Mr. Gillies as representative for Auckland City West.

In another column we publish a letter, courteously and kindly written to us by Mr. Williamson, with reference to an article in yesterday's issue respecting that gentleman's candidature. If such a style pervaded political discussion generally political life would be a much pieasanter thing than it usually is. ;-.»

"We are sure Mr. Williamson correctly states that his acceptance of an office of profit under the Crown was " not under stood by him to involve a retirement from public life;" and we should be sorry to insinuate that the indignity had been committed by the Government of " offer ing it on any such condition," any more than we should suspect that Mr. Williamson's spirit would accept it on such terms. But in that gentleman's accepting a situation having the character of substantiality and permanence in its appearance, and which pi-dudes the holder from taking a seat in the new House of Representatives, there was certainly that which conveyed the im pression that Mr. "Williamson would not, in .he short space of a few months, burst its. disabilities, and take his placeagaArl in the arena of politics. We still think that " It was generally understood when he received from his country a reward for good service done, in the shape of a comfortable provision, that his acceptance of it was a'retirement from public life." With reference to the effect on the minds of his constituent -of Mr. Williamson's acceptance of office, that circumstance in itself could not possibly shake the confidence long're posed in him ; and on his resignation of office he is .as eligible in the ,eye of. the law as he is deserving of the confidence of his constituents in taking his place in the House. But herein consis-S the hardship of the case. Mr. Williamson cannot even stand -for election while he holds his office ; his election is ipso facto void ; and the first step which; that.gentleman, must tate before being legally nominated is, voluntarily to strip himself of the rewards which he has honorably won in services to the country. His friends, we think, should not advise him to this. He has notr*all that he deserves, while others, who have no claim on popular gratitude, have received some of the highest prizes. There is nothing, as we well know, to " prevent his retirement at any time from an office 5 which is only held during the Governor's plea sure, and not for life ;" but we put it to the best friends of Mr. Williamson, will they urge him to fling up this appoint ment to serve their own ends, and leave him then to set sail afresh on the stormy sea of politics dependent on ministerial smiles and favors.

Meetings of Land Societies Nos. 6 and 7 are advertised to be held at Mr. Batger's office to-morrow evening, to receive accounts and balance-sheet.

We understand that Mr. John Sheehan has been asked to ailow himself to be nominated for the representation of Rodney, and that very favorable feelings to his candidature are experienced in'that district. _, It will afford gratification to many to learn that a movement is afoot to place- Mr. Yon der Heyde in nomination for Parnell. A meeting of his intending supporters will be held at Parnell Hall on Thursday evening.

Eor the East Coast district, in prospect of the approaching election, there are coming to the front all the " maimed, and the halt, and the lame, ami the blind;" but there are two in the field for that district, between whom the contest will probably be —Mr. W. Kelly, who has got a requisition bearing 120 signa tures, and Mr. Chadwick, who is on the eve of declaring himself. Both are respected in the district.

We understand that a movement is on foot amongst the electors of Parnell to induce Mr. Yon Der Heyde to come forward to repre sent that district in the next Parliament, and that with that view a meeting will be held at Mr. Hale's, at 7 p.m.- on Thursday, boiling-down establishment are requested to meet at the British Hotel on Saturday after noon next.

The last of the series of musical acd literary entertainments in connection with all Saints' Church will take place on the evening of Friday, October 28th. Charles Alexander Robertson, of Shortland, has become insolvent. —Francis Forceau in tends to apply," on the 27th instant, for the complete execution of a certain deed of as signment. —A deed of composition, for the benefit of Charles Bur^e Edwards, has been filed in the Supreme Court.—A meeting of the creditors of John Leydon is convened for the 31st inst.

SPECIAL TELEGRAM

THIS DAY. ARRIVAL OE TII:_ p.s. '.combeang: PR jM NAPIER. TH E WH A U.—loo POIT N D S WEIGHT OF SPECIMENS. [FiO_l CUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.] Grahamstown, 3 p.m. The p.s. Comerang, Capt. Chrisp, arrived here this morning from Napier, with 26 head cattle, and 650 sheep. The manager of the Wliati claim reports having taken out 100 lbs. weight of ex ceedingly rich specimens this morning.

REQUISITION TO HIS HONOR THE SUPERINTENDENT.

A deputation, consisting of Messrs. T. fB. Hill, J. Wrigley, R. llobhs, W. T. buekland, and J. Smart, waited this forenoon at eleven o'clock on Mr. T. B. Gillies, at the Provin cial Government Offices, in order to present a requisition from the electors of Auckland City West, asking him to allow himself to be placed in nomination in the election of mem bers for the House of Representatives. The requisition, which was lengthy, and signed by about three hundred electors, including -all the principal persons in that constituency, was read by Mr. Hill, and its prayer very warmly urged by the other members of the deputation. —His Honor enquired as to the time when this movement had been under taken, and wa3 informed that on Friday morning early, the list had been opened, and rapidly filled, before Mr. Williamson's address had appeared, and while the chief promoters of the requisition were credibly assured that it was not the intention of that gentleman to stand for the election. It was not in a spirit of opposition to Mr. Williamson that they desired his candidature, and they had not had the least idea that it was Mr. . William son's intention to stand till the address appeared in the evening papers. Mr. Gillies said he was glad to hear this, it relieved his mind a good deal on the'subject, for he should regret to appear as if he hud come out to oppose the sitting members. On first hearing of the intended requisition he felt much delicacy on the matter.—Mr. Hobbs assured his Honor that he had been convinced at the time that Mr. Williamson was riot go ing, to be a candidate, and during the whole of the canvas they had met with the utmost eagerness for Mr. Gillies, having received not more than two or ..three refusals in the whole district. —Mr. Gillies replied that he did not see very well how in the face of such a requi sition, and the assurance of the deputation as to the spirit in which the matter had origi nated, he could refuse. He would prefer it had been oihervriie, but considering the as surance to that effect, he would feel happy to place himself in their hands and do his best for the city and the colony. He would, if elected, pursue the same independent course he had always done, feeling that it was only by the conflict of independent minds in the Assembly that any good can be effected. His Honor then warmly thanked the deputation who, after a little further conversation, with drew; His Honor's formal reply will be for warded to the deputation this evening.

DEPUTATION.

A deputation waited on his Honor the Su perintendent at^noon to-day,,.presenting a petition from a large body of residents in the Northern, division of the province, praying for a survey of the country between the Kaipara watei's and Mahurangi, to see if that line was not preferable.for a railway, in lieu of. that between Kaipara and Riverhead. The argu ments used were to the effect that Mahurangi was safe for all vessels ; that the distance be tween it and Port Albert was only seventeen miles, twelve of which Were level, and the watershed only fifty feet over tide mark ; that from Auckland to Port Albert was only fifty five miles from Mahurangi; that a valu able counlry would be opened up, and the line would lead to the most central point of the Kaipara waters, and avoid the necessity of travellers passing the mouth of the Kaipara inlet,' where, for many weeks at times, the passage is dangerous. A petition, identical in terms: is in readiness for presentation to the Provincial Council.

To the Editor of the Evening- State

Sir, —Will you have the goodness to insert, in your issue of this evening, the enclosed letter which I addressed to you yesterday, per favour of the Herald after perusal of your leading article, containing remarks bavins; reference, to my proposed candidature for City West, and oblige—Yours very truly, J. Wl__lA_tßo_T.

October 25, 1870

Sin, —I notice in your leading article of this evening reference is made to the announce ment of my intention to present myself as a candidate for re-election to a seat in the General Assembly for City" West at the ensuing general el ction. While I feel very grateful to "you for the flattering terms in which you are pleased to bear testimony to the public service which it may be considered I have rendered to my country, you will permit me correct an error into which you have been, no doubt, unwittingly, led, but which, if allowed to pass unnoticed by me, might lead others also 10 a misconception of my present position. Your remark, in writing of myself, " It wa3 generally understood, when he received from his country a reward for good service done, in the shape of a comfortable provision, that his acceptance of it was a retirement from public life." Now the acceptance at the hands of the General Government by me of the office of Commissioner of Crown Lands—an office which I had held before, du:ing Mr. Whitaker'a Super intendency—was not understood by mo to involve a retirement from public life, nor was it offered to me on any such condition. On the contrary, before I accepted the office, I felt it to be only proper that I should consult some of my friends, electors of City West, as to whether they considered that my constituents would object to my undertaking the duties of an office under the Government while I con tinued to hold my seat in the Asseinby as their representative, or whether they thought my acceptance of the office would affect my re election at any future time if I eh .se to resign the appoir.tment. The unanimous reply given to me was that my going into office would in no wise deprive me of their confidence nor of their support on any future occasion. The Act of 1869 under which I was appointed, does disqualifly holders of the office of Com missioner of Crown Lands and Deputy Com missioners from holding seats in the General Assembly, after the dissolution of the present Parliament, but there is nothing in that Act contained to prevent their retirement at any time from an office which is only held during the Governor's pleasure, and not for life, as your remarks might lead some to suppose. —

I am, &c.

J. Williamson.

SURRENDER OF HAUHAUS.

TAWAI KOWHA GIVES IT UP. One of the moat satisfactory pieces of native intelligence that we have had for some time came to hand yesterday, and we hasten to place it before our readers. Tavvai Kowha has been one of the most notorious- Hauhaus in the East Coast district, and has given an immense deal of trouble, but at last lie has signified his intention of remaining quiet, and as an influential chief of Uriwera, we cannot but feel that his submission will have a good effect. Mr. Mair, R.M., writing from Wbaka tane on the 18th, gives an account of an in terview he had with Tawai Kowha in the Waimana Valley. Mr. Mair was accompanied by the chief Wepiha, Hori Kawakuri, Hoani Ngama, and others, with 80 men of the Nga tiawa, Ngatipukeko, and Arawas. The party proceeded from Ohiwa to Te Koinga, and met Towai Kowha, who was accompanied by thirty men, and an equal number of worn n and child ren. Two buliocks were killed, and the party ■was received with profession of friendship.— Tawai Kowha said he was glad that peace had been established by Major Kemp, and he (Tawai) had determined that he would never strike another blow either against European or natives, unless forced to do so. There were three things which would cause him to fight, viz. :—lst. Taking forcible possession of his land ; 2nd. The murder of any of his people by the Government side; 3rd. Surrounding his pa by night. Ho wished to live in peace with Europeans and natives ; and would allow any number of Europeans to pass over his laud, provided that, if they went over his land in pursuit of Te Kooti, they would re spect his cultivations and villages. Tawia Kowha further protested that he had never been a soldier or joined Te Kooti, and that he had in every way discouraged his followers from joining Te Kooti. Tho_e who did so and returned he retained, and as for those who still remained with Te Kooti, the Euro peans might hack them to pieces if they chose. He would, for the future, abstain from all fighting, and simpTy cultivate. Tepene Mahia, and other chiefs made speeches to the same effect.—Mr. Mair, in reply, expressed his gladness that Tawai Kowha had adopted this very sensible course, and he believed that after alLthere was really some gool in him. He assured.Tawai' Kowha that his land would not be interfered wit h, and that his property would not be molested, but those natives who had offended against the law would betried for. it.—After speeches the meeting terminated, Tawai Kowha promising to remain cultivating his land until the. wishes of the Government were known. Mr. Mair also saw Te Whina nui and his followers, some of whom were hunting, while others were planting. He and the chief Akiata appear to be anxious to re main quiet.
