The Arawa Opposition. Further private advices from the East Coast confirm the statement that the Native Minister has not been successful among the Arawa people. The blocks of land said to have been acquired by Messrs Mitchell and Davis in the Arawa country, the Arawas will not allow to be surveyed, or passed through the Lands Court. A section of the Arawa dispute the title for this purpose— they will allow roads to be made to the boundary of the native lands but not further. They maintain that the Crown having re sumed the pre-emption right to purchase, their agents are negotiating through others than the owners. The Arawa people, though receiving more Government money than any other two tribes in the country, refuse to sell. The Northern Land Estate. The cause of Sir Donald McLean's pro tracted stay on the East Coast was an attempt to have a large landed estate in the North Island to shew next session of the Assembly as a set-off against the Southern Land Revenue. Nearly all the reputed land purchases and leases of native lands by the Government are incomplete. The Government have actually no land to any extent on which to locate settlers.

Marine Survey Department

The Times advocates creating a Marine Survey Department having at its head a man of proved ability to whom harbour masters acting as sub-surveyors might apply for advice and assistance in doubtful cases. Sly Grog Selling. The police find great difficulty in securing convictions for sly grog selling. Four cases were brought into Court yesterday, and only one conviction was obtained. In another, Mr, Barton raised the novel defence that the prosecution failed to disprove the negativing clause of the Act that the liquor was not sold for medical or perfumery pur poses. This contention which applies to several cases is likely to prove fatal. The Late Assault Case. Mrs Jeffreys continues in a very critical state. Crossan says he committed the assault when greatly under the influence of drink, and denies he had the slightest inten tion to behave improperly. He says both Mrs Jeffrey .and the husband forgave him. In summing up in Regina v. Long, for unlawfully wounding his wife, the Chief Justice did not approve of the dictum that if the jury thought a prisoner was actually in a state of delirium and being in that state believed an attack was being made upon himself, and so committed the assault, his conduct would be justifiable. He promised to bring the question before the Court of Appeal, as he considered such a principle very dangerous. The Queenstown Lease. The Barry Powell's stone affair at Queens town developed another shape yesterday. She was released from gaol, her lover driving her from camp in a buggy through the town. It is stated that fresh evidence of her in nocence is forthcoming, and strange revela tions will be made at the trial of Powell for false imprisonment. Oamaru Indignant.

Oamaru is in high dudgeon because the Government will merely paBS through the town in route for Dunedin.

Catholic Secular Schools

The statement is made that the Catholics in Queenstown have introduced a secular system of education into their schools. The number attending school is 70, of whom 35 are not Catholic, but belong ing to other, denominations, and, there fore, no religious teaching whatever is introduced during school hours, but before and after that time the bell is rung to summon Catholic children to short devotional exercises, after which the others are admitted.

WELLINGTON

(From our own Correspondent.) This day. The Profits of the Theatre.

The special report and balance-sheet of the Public Hall Company is issued, and all things considered, the balance-sheet pre sents a very encouraging appearance, suffi cient to justify the directors in the step they took when they refused eight hundred per annum from Bates for a lease of the theatre. Quite £1500 has been expended in improving the theatre witbin the last year, and it iB n»w"a3 convenient and compact a little show house as could be desired. The directors expect to do a good thing with leasing the theatre during the session of Parliament to Johnny Hydes and a few others. Bates' company at present lease the theatre, and are playing every alternate night. The directors are of ''"ion that the surplus land now lying id 1 /largely incre?sed in value as soon as°jip a ay terminus is established, and, the.^ / jkve determined not to bring the land .Siinently into the market.

Survey of Sailing Craft- A leader in to day's Times, commenting upon the loss of the Euphrosyne and other coasters, recommends the appointment of a General Government surveyor, invested with authority equal to the surveyor of steam vessels, to periodically inspect the colonial sailing fleet. He, with the harbour masters of the various ports, to constitute a survey tribunal, when necessary, caid and McQueen, for the Phcebe, was shipped yesterday. The steamer leaves for the North to-day.

(Per Press Telegram Agency.) Tuesday,

Meeting of Parliament. It is understood that Parliament will positively meet in July. All the new bills to be introduced are in a very forward state, so that no delay whatever is likely to be occasioned through Vogel's ak ence. 1 his day.

D eatli by Poisdii. Yesterday while Mrs Galbraith was visiting two imbecile children of hers at the asylum, one of them unobserved, seized a bottle of syrup of chlorial and drank nearly the whole of it and died soon after, though a doctor was called in.

The Constitutional Question. The Times combats the Herald's leader of the 9fch, correcting " errois" in the previous article of the Times on the constitutional question. The Times says it never before read a piece of serious political writing so full of errors as the article devoted to its edifica tion. As for being asked to study higher political and not ephemeral finance, the Times says : "We are to ascend to the seventh heaven of provincial rhapsodists and listen to unutterable nonsense about civil government and social institutions being conducted upon principles which ignore finance. It is all mere word rubbish ; a string of well-rounded sentences wanting sense and political dis crimination. As one of Auckland's own prophets remarked of this very subject, 'it is a question of £ s. d. ; it is money which is at the root of the matter.' Mr Swanson is a much better authority on the subject than our contemporary, and we accept his defini tion of the constitutional question as strictly and literally correct—money is at the root of all civil government. Finance is not such a fleeting and comparatively superficial subject as the Herald imagines ; it is the foundation of all political institutions without which "higher politics," as outlined by our contemporary, would melt into thin air. It defends the General Government from the charges of financial extravagance in the way of Ministerial salaries and pensions ; and points out that it was the act of the Colonial Legislature, and as that body is largely composed of men holding seats in the Provincial Councils and as Superintendents of the provinces they were usually warm supporters of pensions, they are to blame. But if they did not directly create pensions, they did what was tantamount to it —they saddled the colony through the Civil Service with a whole battalion of incapables." It ridicules the idea of the provinces clamoring for a surplus of consolidated revenue after having wasted its land fund without promoting settlement or constructing work 3of public utility. As to increaaed taxation if necessary it says : " Try the experiment of taxing people through the Provincial Council." As the people of Auckland have enjoyed the boon of Provincial Government since 1853, we invite Sir George Grey, backed by his organ the Herald, to put the question to the test, and if he succeeds we shall kiss the rod, and bow our heads for correction. The trial can be easily made. A Short Bill can be introduced to the Provincial Council next, setting out its purpose in the preamble, and enacting clauses that should impose a direct tax on persons and property, or upon either, as the case may be, sufficient to maintain the machinery of Provincial Gov ernment. The result will most clearly demonstrate whether it is a question of fin ance or of "higher politics" of which we hear so much from Provincialists, and see so little. We protest however against the General Assembly imposing one shilling in the way of taxation to sustain Provincial Governments, the days of Provincial Supre macy are at an end. People are taxed up to their power of bearing fiscal burdens and any charge made must be in direction of reducing taxation.

TIMARU.

(Per Press Telegram Agency.) Tues day.

Curious Church Squabble

A curious church squabble is going on. The Rev. George Foster, the incumbent, has been fourteen years resident in the parish. The congregation are trying to get rid of him, but he refuses to resign. The bishop has been appealed to, who urges resignation, and threatens to cancel his license. It is expected the parishioners will withhold his stipend. It is the first case of the kind in the colony. The Game Season. The game season is unusually late, but birds are very plentiful since the late rains. Four guns bagged 266 head near Timaru on Monday. Black swan in great numbers, flights of from 120 to 200 frequently passing over towards the lakes. They have been allowed to be shot for the first time this season.

ONEHUNGA POLICE COURT. — This Day.

(From our own Correspondent.)

]BY TELEGRAPH.]

(Before Mr Barstow, Esq., R.M.)

Henry Selfe, engineer, was summoned under the Vagrant Act, with using threaten ing abusive and insulting names, by calling William Galbraith, on the 22nd instant, on the Onehunga wharf, a liar and a robber, with intent to provoke a breach of the peace. Mr JRees appeared for Mr Galbraith, and stated that the language used by the defen dant was such as to provoke a breach of the peace. Mr Galbraith was engaged as a public officer, and it was necessary that while in that capacity he should be pro tected by the Court. Mr Rees called as evidence the plaintiff, Mr Galbraith, and Messrs Vause, Brain, Blackburn, and Brierly, who deposed that the defendant had used provoking language.

Messrs. Hesketh and Kees each addressed the bench. Henry Patson, James Wilding, and William Robinson gave evidence for defence, and stated that Galbraith provoked Selfe and called him a liar. Each denied that Selfe used other offensive expressions complained of. The Bench considered case not proved and dismissed it. The second case against Selfe will be withdrawn.
