The Otago Elections

Superintendency Contest

DUNEDIN.

. This day. The Presbytery has deposed a deacon of the church for countenancing Peebles and Dunn, and suspended him from church privileges until repentance is made satisfactory to the Session.

.At the nomination of the Superintendent yesterday there were six hundred persons present. Mr J. L. Gillies, Speaker of the Pro vincial Conncil, and brother of the Superinten dent of Auckland, came forward to oppose Mr Macandrew. In the course of his speech Mr Macandrew said he had been elected Superintendent three times, and had confi dence that he would be elected the fourth tune. He claimed to be the originator of the Panama and Oalifornian mail serviceo. But

if we could get direct steamer communication , with the mother country it would; be better than either. He had opened up negotiations with the object of getting the Great Britain, steamer, direct to Otago, but failed. He would endeavour to have main trunk lines of railway completed throughout the pro vince. If the General Government did not do

this he would recommend the provincial to complete them at the^ostof the province. The present Provihcial Government had offers oi capital which could readily be obtained to

carry out this work, besides the province Jiajd;, a large landed estate which coulrl not be devoted to better uae than carrying out reproductive works, by which the Provincial, land might be increased in value fourfold. It would be very little good electing himself unless th« people elected members of the ; Council Who would support him.' • Mi: Gillies said he came forward on free •will to support constitutional right. He had only asked one man to support him, and obtained his support. He, alluded to the Hon. Mr Richardson. The recent dissolution of the Council was contrary to custom and usage, there being no question before the country, te and the majority of the Coun cil favoured a progressive policy and repro ductive iworks.;. '■' Mr Gillies will command the support of Mt-Reid's party; but is not likely to be returned. .. Mactodrew's return is coh •sidered sa|ej '.. . The city elections ape causing great excite ment. It is supposed that Macandrew will poll two votes to Gillies' one throughout the province. . ; Sixteen candidates were proposed for the city to-day. Nine declared themselves in favour' of Macandrew.

SUB-CONTRACTS.

[Advertisement.]

To the Editor of the Evening Star. SHRj-rWiH .you kindly afford ua this oppor tunity, through the medium of your journal, of contradicting some gross, and scurrilous charges made by Messrs O'Neill and Thomas against us—as contra ptor? and .employers of labour—in f your issue of the 22nd ultimo. We have been' accused by Messrs O'Neill and Thomas of a dereliction of duty^ in language unwarrantable, and (as we are pro fessionably advised) libellous ; but of that anon. Our present object is simply to shew that<we have stated facts, while those who malign us have sustained their malignity by gross untruths. We emphatically deny that we received from their Mr Thomas £25 ex pressly' to pay wages, as they insinuatingly assert, and we are prepared to shew that at the time we received that money we had fully dißoharged all our liabilities in respect of tho contract up to that dbte. We

repeat thai we have been, subse quently to that date, precluded from pay ing our men in consequence tof Messrs O'Neill and Thomas defening the fulfilment of their promise to pay. What has since accrued, and their assertion that we are £12 13s in their debt, we distinctly deny. With regard to their promptitude of payment so loudly boasted of we leave the public to judge from the fact that we would not now have been placed in our present dilemma had it not been from their procrastination in effect ing a settlement of accounts.—We are, &c, Shaw & Donnelly-.

THE S.S. STAR OF THE SOUTH.

The screw steamer Star of the South, under command of Capt. Andrews, will commence her trade with the Fijis Inlands to-morrow, under subsidy of the Colonial and Fijian Go vernment. No expense has been spitted by her owners, the Auckland Steam Navigation Company, to matte the boat suitable for the Bervice, and few would now recognise her as the steamer that formerly traded be tween Napier and Auckland with cattle. Her improvements and alterations were entrusted to the well known engineering firm of Messrs Frazer and Tinne, who apportioned the carpentery work to Messrs Sims and Brown, and the upholstery to Messrs Cranwell and Co. The repairs and improvements to the engines were carried out by themselves- The whole on completion have been found to be eminently satisfactory, the speed of of the boat being increased, and the passage accommodatioumadespaciousaiid comfortable in the extreme. The service was inaugurated yesterday, by a trial trip of the steamer, accompanied by a luncheon on board, at which success was drunk to the undertaking. The alterations to the machinery consist of a high and low pressure cylinder in place of two of each, as formerly. The high-pressure cylinder is 17 inches in dia meter, and the low-pressure 32 inches in dia meter. The crank shaft when taken out was found to be defective, ahd a new one Was substituted, also a new end welded oil to the propeller shafts ahd & h£\\ propeller made and fitted. The engines have been thoroughly Overhauled and repaired—are nearly as good as new, —and are fitted up on the compound principle. The boiler is loaded to 751hs. pressure to the square inch. The steamer's speed yesterday when running the measured mile was 7m. 20s. with the tirle, but against the wind ; and Bm. 12s. vice versa, making an average of seven and three-quarter milesperhour. Her average log speed was B.| knots. The engines made 90 revolutions per minute ; pressure of steam, 661bs. per square inch ; the vacuum, 27} inch. The consumption of coal was G| tons per day, or three-decimal one pound per indicated horse power. The lowest set of diagrams taken indicated 30>0-horse power, and the highest 340-horse power. The carpenters' work, by Messrs Sims and Brown, consisted of sheathing the main deck, laying a new forecastle deck, making new deck-houses on theforward deck, two new cabins aft for the officers, and a new saloon on the main deck amidships. This has all been satisfactorily carried out. The saloon has been tastefully fitted up and deco rated by Messrs Cranwell and Co., and reflects great credit oij that firm. Accommodation is given for fourteen gentle men, and in the ladies' cabin for four ladies, but more could be provided for. The saloou is well ventilated. The whole'of the alterations have been carried out under,the supervision of Mr Lodder, the Company's engineer, and have taken two months in com pletion. Amongst those on board yesterday were the hon. Dr. Clarksoii, Minister of Finance to the Fijian Government ; Captain Thompson, of Fiji; Messrs Thos. Morrinand D. B. Cruickshank ; Capt. Stetson, of the Polar Star; Colonel Harington ; Mr W. Lodder, manager of tho company ; Mr Jas. Stewart, Government engineer ; Mr Frazer, of the firm of Frazer & Tinne ; and Mr Humphries, their draughtsman. On the return from Tiritiri the company sat down to an excellent luncheon prepared by Mr Perkins (providore), after'which success to the steamer in her new sphere was proposed ; also, several other toasts, which were duly responded to. The steamer reached the wharf at half-past five o'clock.
