THE RIGHT MAN IN THE RIGHT PLACE.

(To the Editor of the Evening |Star.) g IR _Dr. Featheraton's clumsy performance of his duties as Immigration Agent-General for New Zealand is daily exciting the disgust and anger of all intelligent colonists who trouble themselves to think at all on the aabject; and when we reflect that a wisely conducted immigration scheme must be the sheet anchor of the colony in the gale of enormous expenditure it is novr encountering, surely we colonists should be as anxious con cerning weak links in the^ cable as we outfit to be with respect to flaws in the anchor itself. The immigration scheme of the present Government - may be a good one in many ways, and a baa one in others. But why should we permit an agent like Featherstone to nullify its good points and to aggravate its defects ? None but theorists look for perfection in large Government schemes, and for that very reason it is the more important that those entrusted with their practical working should be men willing and able to develop their advantages to the utmost when discovered, and to remedy and counteract their defects. Nor has Dr. Peatherstonin any way shewn his aptitude for such work 1 Has heby his energy, practical knowledge of his work, or good temper shewn himself atjall fitted for the posi tionlie holds? In each of these qualities does he not appear, so far as we are able to judge, lamentably deficient ? The miserable slow aess-with which immigrants have been intro duced compared with what we had a right to etpect indicates his want of energy; the class of those who have arrived, his want of practical knowledge, and his action with reference to Mr Farnall and the Government plan of special settlement on confiscated lands, his dictatorial and obstinate temper. Under ■uch circumstances, then, why should the Government hesitate to put a better man in his place. The question is too vitally im portant to the prosperity of the whole coun try to be evaded from scruples of delicacy. Either Dr. Featherston is a fit *and proper person to be Agent-General, or he is not. That the latter is the case has, I think, been ahundantly proved by the published result of his labours from July 1871 to December 1872, and therefore there can be no question as to the duty of tho Government with reference to his removal. In private life a man has a perfect right to retain in his employment a servant he knows to be in capable, as by so doing he only injures him self, but a Ministry has no more right to follow such a course than it would have to spend money on public works which it knew to be utterly useless. If tho Agent-General could be made to see the error of Mb waya we might hope that he would condescend to mend them; but he seems utterly blind to the unsatisfactory results of his administra tion, and complacently states' to the Govern ment his comfortable conviction that every thing with respect to immigration is going on as it should do, and this it is which makes one despair of his ultimate reformation. If he can really think, as he says, that " on the whole the immigration agency has been attended with satisfactory results" (to him?), why hia views and thoae of the colony on the subject are so very different that the sooner they dissolve partnership the better—at least for the colony. On the other hand, should Buch not be his real opinion, he is the more to blame for attempting to mislead the Govern ment on so important a point. That what the Cross calls "Mr O'Rorke's plain, speak ing" may have the effect of inducing Dr F '^herston to resign is, in the opinion of ' hqV» a consummation devoutlytobe wished, bur^'h I fear hardly to be expected. thaiietter has stretched to a greater length T7" I anticipated, and I can only plead as the importance of its subject in the pinion of youra, &0,, August 0,187&

POLICE COURT.—This Day.

DRUNKENNESS,

John Lowry and James Niohols were charged with being drunk last night and fined accordingly.

AN OLD SAW. Wm. Laverty, a wood-cutter, pleaded guilty to stealing an old saw, which he in tended to return when he had done with it, value 35., the property of Jeremiah Allen, on the 12th instant. His Worship remarked that as he had confessed to the crime of stealing the saw the Court would only have to commit him for one month with hard labour to Mount Eden.

POOK JOE THOMPSON. This unfortunate man was brought up on remand, charged under the Vagrant Act with having no visible lawful means of support. Mr Broham asked that the man might be discharged, as he was now in * much better state than he was in previous to being taken into custody. He had been very much ill used, and not paid by a person who had employed him at the Queen's Redoubt. His Worship suggested that he should seek redress for tho wrongs he had suffered, and discharged him. A MAN OT MANY VESTS. . John Kelly was charged under the Vagrancy Aot with being found wandering at unseemly hours without a home, on the North Shore, on the 12th inst. Prisoner affirmed that he was taking a rural walk as the moon was shining after the rain. He was well wrapped up. Mr Broham asked that this case might be remanded until Friday next, that enquiries might be instituted touching the character of the accused, as he had three pair of trousers, six waistcoats, and five shirts upon his person, to which prisoner might not be able to es tablish a legal claim. Bemanded till Friday. wanderijSG covrs. Alex. Tait was charged with allowing his three cows to stray in the Grafton-road on August 5. Mrs Tait, a respectable-looking person, appeared, and made a very effective appeal to the Court, stating that she looked care fully after her cows, but she had gone out at the time, and they had been let out through the carelessness of others. Cows instinc tively knew where to find the best grass, and when the paddock got bare they would get out if they got a chance. She regretted that her cows had strayed, but hoped this would be the last time as it was the first that she would appear in Court. ; . .i It was ascertained that this was her nrst offence and that she had spoken the truth. The Court therefore subjected her to the lowest penalty, viz., 5s and costs, but re minded her that she might have had to pay £10. Mrs Tait thanked the Court, paid the line, and withdrew. , ■ Charles Rhodes, of Parnoll, was charged with allowing one cow and one heifer to wander in the glades of Parnell. r Mr Rhodes pleaded guilfey, but could nofr help it. The cow got out of his fence and the heifer trotted after her. He regretted the circumstance. His Worship suggested greater care in future, but was compelled to fine him 5s and costs— half-a-crown for each animal. A MYSTERIOUS CBXMXET. John Abbott, a gentleman of Parnell, was charged with allowing the chimney of hi» establishment to get on fire on the 7th inst. The accused pleaded guilty, but said that he and. his family were extremely frightened by the accident. He could not understand it; as the chimney had been swept twice in twelve months. , . His Worship said that in consideration of this fact, and the fact that he and his family had been so terribly frightened, the Court would only inflict the nominal fine of Is and costs. This was all the business. .;.

|§j?At ten o'clock this morning the new schooner built by Messrs Niceol and Son for Messrs F. and W. Hennings, of Levuka, was launched from the North Shore. Owing to the wet weather few people were present, and there was little ceremony in the pro ceedings. The new vessel is a model of symmetry ; she is named the Lurline. Her dimensions are —Length of keel, 59ft. ; width of beam, 15ft.; and depth of hold, 7ft.

LOSS Ob' POWER, SPERMATOIIRTTfEA, INDISCIIKTION.S OP EARLY YOUTH, SYPHILITIC DTSKASES. IN all the above eases, arising from errors and the yUUUny to the pauion, no time should bo lost to at once arrest the progress of disease. DR. L. L. SMITH has devoted himself for twenty years in the colony to the practice of this branch of his profession, while previously, in England, he was the pupil of, and practised with the celebrated Dr R. T. Culvorwell, the only medical practitioner who ever exclusively adopted this as the.sole branch of his profession. Dr L L. Smith hereby informs the public that he isnht only legatliJ-quaUified medical man in tin* sniciulitii of his profusion: that others advertising are unqualified, and that, therefore, in pretending to be qualified are obtaining money under false pretences. Dn L. L. Smith also warns the public against the quackeries advertising. If the taker of any of these advertised nostrums escapes with his life, or his system be not thoroughly and irreparably underminod hy, them, he may lookupin himself as the most fortunato mortal. Dk. L. L. Smith has been appliod to by so many unfortunate broken-down young-old-men, utterly crushed in spirit,, ruined In body, and filched in pockot, th*t ho deems it a duty to publish this to the world. Those mon and women who have ,be«n the victlmsr of unprincipled charlatans frequently seek that recovery which is often beyond Dr. Smith s control. When will the public understand that it is to their interest to consult a daUv qualified medical man, how has made this his sole study, rather than apply to a number of ignorant impostors, who merely harp and prqy upon their pockets and health ? Dit L. L. Smith has always stated that to warn the public of these quicksands is his chief reason for In all cases pt nervous debility, lowncss of spirit*, loss of power,: pimples on-the forehead, lassitude, inaptitude for business, impotency, drainage from the system, and the various efTects of errors of youth and blood-poisoning from diseases previously contracted. Dn L L Smith invites sufferers to consult him, as he has no hesitatiera in stating that no medical man, either here or in England, has had the opportunities for practice and extraordinary experience which be has had. Therefce, thoce who really desire to be treated by one who is at the head of his profession in thto bi.mch of medical practice should Joso no time in 1 seeking his advice Nor should any one marry without first consulting him.
