The Evening Star. MONDAY, OCTOBER 24, 1870.

" Evebt thing is fair in love, politics, and war." So well-known is this maxim that we fancied few could be misled by an election canard. It has not been merely rumored, but asserted broadly, that Mr. Gillies will not accept the requisition from the electors of Auckland City West. And we have pleasure in being able authoritatively to give the statement a distinct denial. Mr. Gillies did at the first raising of the subject express disin clination to being brought forward in opposition to the sitting members. It

motive, that Mr. Gillies, as migbt have been expected of him, expressed this unwillingness—a feeling creditable to that gentleman, but which has been used wrongly against his candida ture. The subject of personal feeling or political etiquette cannot weigh with electors whose vital interests are bound up in having the best and ablest repre sentative of their interests that can be obtained ; and Mr. Gillie 3 very properly will not allow feelings to operate in face of the general call from the citizens, to take upon him the burthen of their inte restsin Wellington. As an unfair ad vantage has thus been taken of the expression of a feeling highly becoming and honorable to Mr. Gillies, should he now decline to stand in answer to the requisition about to be presented to hira, we have no hesita tion in saying that it will be similarly wrongly attributed to a fear of defeat.

Against Mr. John Williamson we have not a word to say. He has served his country honorably and well ; and his country has honorably made a comfortable provision for his declining years, and all men have 9aid, " Well done !" But he should not return to scenes of tur moil ; but in the privacy of home and peace should wear the laurels he has honorably won. We ai*e convinced that those who like Mr. Williamson best, and wish disinterestedly for his own good, would strongly advise him to this course ; and we unhesitatingly say that those who urge him on to the conflict are not con sulting his interests, but have " got an axe to grind." It was generally under stood when he received from his country a reward for good service done ia the shape of a comfortable provision, that his acceptance of it was a retirement from public life. His returning to Welling ton for the last session of a lengthened Parliament, was looked on as na tural and reasonable, but that he should be urged on to fling away for ever the provision which he has worthily won, and begin anew the uphill fight of politics with heavy odds against him, simply shows that he has bad advisers. We suppose every one knows that by the le gislation of hut session he is precluded from holding his position of profit under the Crown if takiDg his seat in the House of Representatives, and the only pros pect that his advisors can present as a substitute is the position of a Ca binet Minister. Of course we have no right to express an opinion on these sub jects ; but, as it will, doubtless, be said against the' supporters of Mr. Gillies

that they are urging that gentleman to unkindness, we merely show that those who urge Mr. Williamson to the contest are his bitterest enemies, and that all who unite to defeat his candidature—if he stands—are his true friends. The requi sition to Mr. Gillies, though not yet com pleted, is as overwhelmingly influential a9 was that to 'Mr. Vogel. And, as Mr. Gillies holds his decision in reserve, and wholly untrammelled, until the re quisition is presented, he must: be con vinced that if he declines it he will be doing a'slight to the strong wishes of the citizens of Auckland. We trust that those who have the interests of the city at heart will show their determination to reward our earnest pushing public-spirited Super intendent, and ft the same time confer an honor on the city, by associating the noblest movements in the House of Repre sentatives with the name of the " hon. member for Auckland City West."

The sale of the cargo of the Centaur adver tised for to-morrow by Messrs. L. D. Nathan and Co., has been postponed. _ The schooner Tauranga arrived m harbour this morning Te Kooti, with a few followers, is reported to be in the Whakat.ane district. It is reported that there will be no less than five candidates coming forward to represent t.he seat in tbe Assembly for the East Coas„ district. ... , , We believe the legal' appointments contem plated in consequence of the death of Mr. Crawford, Registrar of Deed?, have been made, and the departments vacated will be taken over by the new officers on the first of next mouth We understand that Mr. Theophilus Kisslin<r the Deputy Registrar of the Supreme Court, v appointed Registrar of Deeds, and Mr Kin* in the Office of the Registrar of Deeds, is to succeed Mr. Kissling as Deputy Registrar of the Supreme Court.

REQUISITION TO HIS HONOR THE SUPERINTENDENT.

We have just been informed by the gentle men most actively engaged in getting up the requisition to Mr. Gillies that it already bears three hundred signatures, including almost all the most influential electors of the district, and that the utn.ost cheerfulness, and at times enthusiasm, attended their reception during the canvas. We still trust that Mr. Williamson will, in kindness to himself, be withdrawn by his advisers, as there is a cer tainty of Mr. Gillies' return against any can didate, 'the requisition will be presented to the Superintendent to-morrow forenoon at eleven o'clock.

AUCKLAND ETHIOPIAN TROUPE.

Apekson signing himself " One who Knows," writes to us complaining of a paragraph which appeared in this morning's Cross, and from which one would infer that the whole of the persons forming the above-named troupe have agreed to add to their numbers, and change their name to that of the " Orpheu3 Min strels." The paragraph— no doubt written under a wrong impression—is calculated to injure the "original" troupe, which still flourishes, and retains the name of the Auck land Ethiopian Troupe. We ourselves had something to do with the formation of this troupe irTconnection with the monthly enter tainments given at the Mechanics' Institute, and we will, therefore, give the correct version of what has actually taken place. It seems, then, that a few of the new members of the troupe wi3hed to get professional talent among them, and brought forward a motion to that effect. On two occa sions, on both of which it was lost, the majority very properly thinking that, as the troupe had started as an amateur affair, it should remain so. It appears that the minority in favour of " professionals " resigned in a body, and have form.d a fresh company under the title of " The Orpheus Ministrels," among whom we are informed that there are no less than four professionals. Under these circumstances their advertisement is some what cool, seeing that the nenclus of the Ethiopian, with most of the talent, i», mains, and that it intends to maintain its reputation in spite of the Orpheus or any other body of discontented minstrels, and in this determina tion we have no doubt the troupe wiU con tinue to receive, as they always have received, the well-merited support of the public.

He was beating me for four or five minutes. I went and had my wounds dressed. On going back with a constable for my hat prisoner said I had been prowlin-r about his place all the day, and in consequence he had beaten me. I had not been at his house that day.

I am still afi aid of prisoner, and request protection. —To ilr. Hesketh : Mrs. Sterling is my wife s sister. My wife was at Sterling's house, I believe, on Sunday week.

I did not leave her m G-eelong- I have only one lawful wife. She has left me because I was not in a position to pay off the mortgage on her mother's property. It was not because she had found, on going to Geelon*, that I had a wife there. lam a widower ; and none but Mrs. Sterling's sister is my wife ; and, up to the time of coming by the City of Melbourne we lived quietly to gether. Another claim was sought to be established on me which was not established. It was made in Melbourne. As soon as she got here she left me. I never heard him tell me to Uave his premises.

AUCKLAND INCORPORATION BILL.

The following letter Las been kindly for warded to ua by Mr. P. A. Philips :—" Napier, October 17, 1870.—Sir,— Although I acknow ledged in due coarse the receipt of your last communication respecting the Auckland In corporation Bill, I have, nevertheless, to offer many apologies for not having replied, long ere this, to the inquiries therein contained. I might, however, mention that, since it reached me, I have been twice into the interior to hold Courts, and that my other official duties have taken up much of my time. With re spect to the disappointment felt by yourself and others, in consequence of the bill not haying been introduced into Parliament during its recenr. session, I beg to say that all responsibility connected therewith must ne cessarily rest upon myself, and upon no one else. I was unable to have the bill com pleted within the prescribed tirae,_ and for that reason it could not be intro duced. When the Superintendent of Auck land gave me instructions to prepare the bill, his Honor impressed upon me the necessity of having it completed by such time as would admit of its being printed and circulated, and, if necessary, amended, before the then approaching meet ing of the General Assembly ; and, as the time drew near, both he and the Provincial Secretary called several times at my office to remind me of it. I gave my undivided and unremitting attention to the task I had undertaken" but I could net complete it in time. Owing to the peculiar circumstances of Auckland the preparation of the bill in volved severe mental labour. Not only was a special bill requisite, but it was necessary to insert in it special provisions not usually required in bills of the kind. Auckland had been created a royal borongb, and it was desirable, for many reasons, that the honour should not be !o t sight of. The bounds of the city were to be extended so as to include its three hamlets. An opposition was raised to the union, and it became necessary to insert clauses providing against the evils anticipated by the oppositionists. Then Auckland had a debt, and it laid claim to a number of sections of lond, as city endow ments, many of which had been mortgaged. These, and other matters, which might be mentioned, required the insertion of special provisions. lam inclined to believe that the plan upon which I prepared the bill was more extensive than that contemplated by the Superintendent. At the request of his Honor. I put together so much of the bill as I had prepared, in order that the same might be submitted to the City Board for remark and suggestion. When I saw him about tns matter, his Honor was on the point of leaving Auckland for Wellington to attend the General Assembly, and he was, as might b- expected on an occasion of the kind, much pressed with official business. I reminded him that it would be necessary that the bill should be returned to me in order to see to its completion. This he said should be done. At this time I reckoned on being able to com plete the bill before leaving Auckland for this place. 1 attended a meeting of the City Board about six days afterwards, to learnjb*l" -^^cra^nfe-Biir, ancrXwas surprised to near from you that the bill was to be returned to the Superintendent's office, in order that it might be forwarded thence to the Superinten dent at Wellington. I mentioned to you that the bi>l waa not completed, that his Honor had said it was to be returned to me in order to be finished, and that no good eoiild possibly result from ita being sen' to Wellington in its then state, as it could not be introduced into the House of Representatives, and it would only be sent back to me for completion. Thereupon you requested the secretary to send the bill to my office. This was on the 15th June. I did not then know that I should be obliged to leave Aueklard so soon and ao sud denly for Napier as I did, and I hoped, even then, to be able to complete my task before embarking. I had, however, to leave Auck land unexpectedly for Napier on the 18th, bringing the bill with me, but having to leave my law books behind, although packed up and soldered down, and all but ready for being shipped. They were, according to arrangement, to hive been forwarded two days afterwards, but in this I was disappoin ted. A whole month elapsed from the time I left the bill at the Superintendent's office, before I had my law books on my shelves at Napier, and had it in my p-.jwer to resume my labours. I found, however, that my official duties left me but little of that leisure time which is so essential in mental work requiring undivided and concentrated attention. I diJ what I coul I towards completing my task, but, for the reason mentioned it was very small in amount. The Superintendent telegraphed to mo from Wellington two or three times about the bill: I could not, however, complete it in time. While regretting the disappointment felt at the non completion of the bill at the proper time, I indulge the hope that the citizens of Auckland have sustained no injury in consequence. A bill of the kind, hastily put together, and passed into law, would prove a s-rious evil. His Honor the Superintendent will now have ample time to have the bill printed and circulated in Auckland, to receive and con si ler the practical suggestions respecting it which the ]oc-al experience of public bodies and private persons may enable them to proffer, and to have its provisions amended aud included in accordance therewith.—l have the honour to be, sir, yours obediently, SiNGELTO]* Roan fort. — P. A. Philips, Esq., Chairman of the City Board, Auckland."
