MR. DARGAVILLE AT DAIRY FLAT

After the above meeting was ended, a meeting of tfce electors was convened, for the purpose of hearing Mr. Dargaville's views relative to bis candidature for theSuperinten dency. Mtijor Stoney was called to the chair, after strenuously objecting, on the ground that he bod taken an active part in Provincial politics.— Mr- Dsrgaville, on ooming forward, was well received by the electors. He went over the various items of retrenchment in the Provincial departments, on which he had set his heart, but as Mr. Dargaville has been fully reported on this head, it is unnecessary to give his views again in detail at this stage. He would show that he practised what he preached, by cutting down the Superinten dent's salary to begin with; (Cheers.) If the pomp and paraphernalia of Provincial Grovorn ment were to be kept up, additional taxation would bo required. The money squandered by Messrs. Hurst and Lu9k on the Luke Road, which led to their own residences, would have made a large portion of the Great North Road from Stokes' Point to the place where they were now assembled. (Cheers.) The sum spent on the Lake Road was actually larger than the sum devoted to this trunk road run ning through the heart of the North. The pittance of £500 promised to them was, as he gathered from the preceding meeting of rate payers, now to be reduced to £300. As ho came along the road to the meeting he noticed, after passing Lucu9' Creek, some feeble attempts at road-making, which soemod sug gestive of pig-rooting rather than anything else. (Cheers and laughter.) That parody of road-making, he was informed, had cost £10, while the " survey expenses" on the same sec tion during the year amounted to £40 —that was labour, £10 ; " departmental expenses," £40 ! He did not wonder at the just indig nation of settlers like Mr. Fennell and Mr. A. Wilson, wearied with being bandied about from Superintendent io Profincial Executive without getting any satisfaction from either. Mr. Williamson had never accepted the faroe of Responsible Government, and he was right. The man elected by the entire provincial con stituency was only responsible to the electors of the provinoe. He (Mr. Dargaville) desired to be in such a position that ho could give a straightforward answer to a deputation of settlers, and fulfil his promise, without reference to any responsible Execu tive. He would endeavour to get from the Provincial Council the best men possible, who Bhonld odvise and confer with him on tho various measures submitted, —not; political Bchemers, earning a wretched living in office by chicanery and corruption. None of the other candidates had grappled with the finan cial problems of provincial finanoe. He bad asked other gentlemen to come forward, but they refused to do so, as " Provincial politics were rotten." There was no credit to any man for coming forward when money was flying about and pickings were to be had. He had oome out when the chest was very low indeed, but ho hoped to excise the rottenness from pro vincial politics, and inaugurate a healthier and better state of things. The Auck land and Drury railway, which cost £117,000, had been banded over to tbe General Government for £26,000 —a Bum which the Executive could not resist the temptation of handling. He believed there was still a good claim against the General Government on that account, and he would not fail to urge it on behalf of the Province. As to Mr. John Williamson, he might say that he could never think of him save with feelings of re gard aud respect; for that gentleman had sacrificed- the ccst years of his life, and his entire fortune, through bis devotion, to public affairs. (Cheers.) Mr. W. 0. Wilson, his former partner, was a keen man of the world —Mr. Williamson a patriot. The result was that the former was now a man of substance and wealth, the latter far from being so. It was the duty of the country to see that Mr. Williamson a declining years were closed in comfort, by making such substantial recog nition of his past services, not only to the Province but to the Colony, as he well merited. (Oheors.) If he (Mr. Dargaville) were elected, he should uso his best exertions with tho General Government to that end. Mr. Williamson's best days were over; neither in mind or body was he the man of yore ; times changed and men changed with them, and be would now have to give place to mon who had jouth, energy, and "go" in their favour. Still he (Mr. Dargavillo) do sired to see Mr. Williamson plaoed above and beyond the toils of the Wyndham-street clique, who would consign him to oblivion after he had served their purpose, as they had done others before him.—Various questions were put relative to eduoation, assisted immi gration, rocove»y of highway rates, abolition of provincial institutions, Ac., by Messrs. Wilson (North Shore), Fennell, Beaumont, Geo. Stamen, and Bond, and satisfactorily answered by tho candidate. On the motion of Mr. Inglis, seconded by Mr. South, a vote of entire confidence in Mr. Dargaville as a fit and proper person to fill tho office of Super intendent, was passed unanimously. On the motion of Mr. Dtirgavillo, a vcte of thanks was accorded to the Chairman by acclamation. — Hernld.

NEWSPAPER WAR ABOUT THE SUPERINTENDENCE

INTERCOLONIAL RIFLE MATCH.

GRAHAMSTOWN

This day. A heavy hail-storm occurred last night at five.

The correspondence about Mr Dargarille's statements continues. One writer in answer to Mr Tyler's question of what are the deserts of the man who so far forgets himself, says, that "he should he burnt in effigy, after being well tarred and feathered, and that the postman who was going to burn Lusk should be made to act as hangman." At a meeting of the Rule Association last night correspondence was read from Aus tralia relative to sending over representa tives from New Zealand to compete at the intercolonial matoh at Melbourne. Wanga nui agrees two send to men, and the Thames four, including the champion. It was de termined to communicate with Major Atkin son and ask what Otago would do. A committee was appointed to take steps necessary to further the object. Mr T. L. Murray,; agent of the Bank of New Zealand, has been sued for a broach of the " Quartz Crushing Machines Inspection Act " by neglecting to make entries in tho register book, in the form provided by the schedulo. It appeared that no provision was made in the book supplied for dwts. and grains. The entries were thoreefore made in another book. The Magistrate had no op tion but to fine defendant £5.

No replies have yet been received from Auckland and Otago. Wellington declines on account of the expense. The Pumping Association water is all out, and men have resumed sinking. A letter appears in this morning's Adver tiser denying that the Orangemen of Auckland had determined to issue a paper. The writer, " Lemon," says that the :paper was projected in the interests of Mr Dargaville. That various schemes for start ing it .feel through, " but not before it had been held out as a threat to the proprie tors of the Evening Star (Auckland) to in duce them to support Mr Dargaville which they declined to do. [This statement is quite untrue.—Ed. E.S.] And now the last dodge is to sturfc the paper, with the state ment that it is established by the united efforts of the Orangemen of the Thames and Auckland." [Tho paper referred to by the Advertiser's correspondent is neither to be issued by the Orangemen or by Mr Darga ville. It is projected in the interests of the Protestant Association. " Lemon" has written either a wilful untruth or has besn altogether misinformed.—Ed. E.S.] j

LIBEL CASE-JUDGE ROGAN v. BAL

LANCE,

WELLINGTON.

This day.

In tho libel action Judge Rogan v. Mr Balla'nce, editor of the Wanganui Herald, in the Supreme Court in banco, the rule was made absolute for a criminal information. The Judge made some very severe remarks regarding the conduct of the defendant's lawyers in representing that the defendant wanted time to make an apology, whereas it appears that they really wanted time to make fresh affidavits. The Judge refused to hear counsel, and said the conduct of counsel was the grossest mockery of justice. It was the worst case within his experience. The Court hoped it would never see such a case again. The rsolicitor who instructed Mr Allen deserived the severest reprobation of tho Court. He felt inclined to|express the con demnation, of the Court in a more substantial way. A rule nisi was granted prohibiting the inquiry regarding the grounding of the Ladybird until cause is shewn. The crew of the William Tapscott sacri ficed their wages rather than proceed to sea in the ship. Some of the crew last night assaulted Captain Bishop, of the Halpione, one of the surveyors who reported that the, William Tapscott was seaworthy. .'•"', ■ The Alhambra has sailed for the Bluff.

BANKERS: The National Bank of Now Zealand. SOLICITORS : Messrs Smith and Anderson. INTERIM SECRETARY: Mr Richard H. Leary. There is no branch of commercial enterprise in New Zealand which presents such favourable opening fer the investment of capital as that of Fire and Marine Insurance. The success which has attended the establishment of the " New Zealand" and the "South British" Companies is a proof of the business. Fire and Marino Insurance is so rapidly increasing that there is ample room for another company in the colony. Largely-increased facilities for covering the class of risk are imperatively required, and the National Insurance Company is founded to supply this want. This company is not started in opposition to any of the other New Zealand Companies, but is intended to co-operate with them in fostering tho Trade and Commerce of the colony, and concentrating in the country the large capital which is annually drafted out of it by foroign insurance companies. In order to make this a purely colonial company, and to induce a largo amount of business through the influence of its shareholders, it is proposed to distri bute the shares over the whole oolony, and in their allotment to keep in view tha ability of shareholders to influence business to the company. 40,000 Shares will be reserved for Otago and South land, and the remainder allotted to the Northern province!. The operations of the Company will bo conducted on sound principles, and extreme caution will be exorcised in tho selection of risks. It is intended that the Articles of Association shall provide for the Election of Local Boards of Directors by the shareholders in chief commercial centres of the colony. Tho amount proposed to be called in will, it ii estimated, make a Sufficient Paid-up Capital to warrant the Company in commencing operations, and it is not anticipated that any further Call will be necessary. Tho Provisional Directors have secured the services of Mr A. Hill Jack, tho present Rosidont Secretary of the Victoria Insurance Company in New Zealand, as General Manaokb. of this Company. Applications for Shares will be received by the Branches of the National Bank of New Zealand in tho various provinces, and by HENDERSON & MACFARLANE. 14, Queen-street, Auckland. PRELIMINARY NOTICE.
