through you, to make him an offer to discuss the whole matter of the Provincial accounts in my own name provided he will also unveil himself. —I am, &c, One who Knows.

To the Editor of the Evening Stab. Sib, —Allow me through the medium of your journal to draw attention to a prac tise carried out by our American cousins worthy of imitation by our Volunteers in Auckland. At a meeting of the mem bers of tho San Erancisco Hussars a number of prizes were distributed, and among them a leather medal to the mem ber who made the lowest score ; it need scarcely be added that the member was present to receive his medal, but a -■imputation was appointed to wait on and present him with the pn'ze. I think if some such method was resorted to by our Volunteers here we should see better marksmen, and not hear of their being constantly defeated by other corps ; it would be an incentive to them to practise more, so as to qualify themselves for the highest prize instead of the lowest.—l am, &o„ Snidbe.

CALLS AND DUMMIES.

To the Editor of the Evening Stab. Sib, —The depression in the sharemarket in consequence of tho Green Harp revela tion is already beginning to tell upon the value of other mines, and holders in other companies who bought in anticipa tion of a rise are transferring their shares to dummies to evade calls and contribu tions in the event of its being found necessary to wind up a company in which they may have an interest. I trust, however, that legal managers and directors will do their duty, and satisfy themselves of the bona fine character of th© transfers pre sented to them. Too great laxity has hitherto obtained in this respect, and a transferee's address as Auckland, Grahamstown, or elsewhere, has been sufficient, although the legal manager knew nothing of the person—the conse quence was that when the company fell into the hands of the Official Liquidator the large speculators escaped, and the whole burden fell upon a few importunate persons of no business habits, who had been induced to purchase, and were after wards left to pay the piper. I believe the law gives legal managers great power, and they are not compelled toacceptatrans fer to Dick, Tom, or Harry unless they think proper to do so. This leads m© to remark upon what I think a great neglect of duty on the part of the Official Liquidator. I believe I am within the mark whon I say that many of the old companies were in his hands at least twelve months before he made a call upon the contributors, aud then the burden fell upon a number of persons who were least able to bear it, but were pounced upon because they happened to be permanent residents, and because many of them would shrink from the exposure of their names in the Court. I know of several instances where needy gentlewomen and servants who had in vested their hard earnings in shares, and were frightened into paying a great deal more than their real share, which injustice would have been dispensed with had the Official Liquidator and the legal managers done their duty. I know it will be said that such persons as I have described should not dabble in mining stock, but I Maintain that provided mining is carried out upon proper principles it is as legiti mate an investment as bank and insurance. Your sparing space for the above will oblige, A Victim.

PARNELL RUTS.

To the Editor of the Evening Stab. Sib,—Having read " Sufferer's " letter of the 31st of July inst. I feel bound to •ndorse his statements, and make a few remarks myself. And especially with re gard to incompetent men being trustees of Highway Boards, as I think the acts of the late Parneli Highway Board will testify as to their incompetency, viz., placing heaps of metal anywhere and everywhere on the road, even on the very centre. Building stone walls on the edge and surface of a precipice at a oost of about £200 pounds, when a post-and-rail fence costing say £20 would have answered the purpose just as well. Now, with regard to the ruts and holes being filled that I have no doubt will be done about the middle of summer, and the result of which .will be that the metal cannot bind together, but will be ground to dust by the traffic, and then blown and washed away by the wind and rain. At the late meeting of ratepayers, the Chairman spoke in. very high term* of the professional skill and ability of Mr Eeals. who gave plans and drawings to the Board free of charge, whereby he thought the Board had effected a great saving. I refer to the plans of the stone wall above the steam saw mill. Now, let me ask the Chairman if it would not have been a far greater saving, far more economical to have employed and paid a competent engineer, who would have built a proper and durable wall, instead of accepting Mr Keal's services gratis, as the said wall is now going piece by piece over the precipice day. So much then for skill ■ and ability gratis; and I would add that the sooner the ratepayers of ParnelL will have done electing men of superfine cloth—such as merchants and lawyers— r -ustees of Highway Boards, the better; for it is plain to be seen that this class of men do not understand road making, and consequently they only mis-spend and fool away our money. Trusting yon will insert*. ~*f-ftf-your very valuable paper,—l «B, & J^^OTHEB SITFFEBEB.
