CITY AUDITORS.

(To thi Edit-or of tha Evemng Star ) Sir, — reading! one of the City Auditor'" letters I should like to leirn if ♦bee eent'e men are oonaulte^ before the C unoil snpnd any money? If not how can the andi>o*i> p-evenf; "their financial actions runninp riofr," particularly as he furthpr 8t»»-ps the Council can ov»rule spich disallowances a* the annual mcc itg. If I am corveotly in formed the disallowance" in oonn»ct'on with the Ra>e coipisted principally of charge" for eirpenspß of co'lpcMon. and so far fr^m inju.in? 'he c redit; of th« fund or oi^y, it was pr"po«i»d lately, and uti'l is in view, to allow th's Special Rat-e to laps" for a year or more, tho mo^ey required fir Sinking Fnnd and intprpat b<-in7 in exoes* of rpq-irp m-n^s provided fo» by the An*;, bo 'ha1; Any imp ied ii jury to the l«niers fs mi->'P!>dint? which is fcnuq olearly «hown : f20,0l)0 was borrowed in J>nn*ry 3d., 1872 at. 6 p«r Cflnt for 15 years, at the pre""l* *im<> all in'e-e?); h«s heen ptid. an 1 £6250 S'nkinp Fond ii invnsterd at from 5 7 per cnt. T helipw T am al^o correct, in stating that the nu'lito^ fpe* hive bpen fixed by the Council for thU la*l-, two yea^s either prior to, the election or the sndit. It appears rather nn nsnal fo» the auditors' to fix the fees, and \ye should know what is the cus'om elsewhere b {nr* consenting to thia ruling.—Yours, EatkPaTEK.

Toth* Elitor: Sir, -Without further pre faoe w;l yon g-i-n1; me an opportunity to ref*r to VI r J W ymonth'h let'pr in you* Pridiy's ]H<ue oonci'Ding the Cvy Anditorahip. From it I rather — Fi'Bt: Th* labou' of the fiiidi'or in in ya'.n, for if " The Conn-jil c»n pa<»<» the amounts rot ■wihhstandinEf por i'^n^ <>f *h'?m may b* dis. all<» •ed hv the (s»« l<'tpr). What, then. I a«k, is the use of the Andir? NVxt it ap cnn: "The Council hays all along Wei tha Auditors' pal>rr. but. we have per sistency rpfu^fd to concede to th* Council the y\gh*, hi do oo." Wh?t b>nh ! !. Have Wessrs Waymouth and Fraorr hitheto " ner silently refußed " to pncket1 the *nm«j voted, and will they continue to re fuse to do so? Do "*ey assume prerogative of malting

" things pleasant"—tfieir own way in future as to what they shall charge without refer ence to the Council? Mr in deed, throws out a hint that "when the waterworks amounts come to be audited the charge will be higher," and I suppose "things will be pleasanter" to all parties. Is this what he means? Let ratepayers look out Lastly: The mo des'y of Mr W<ymouth is incom parable. He says, in fac*, to the.ratepayere my dear fellows. I don't want y«nr paUrv fifteen guineas, "or more when the water works accoun's come to be aud ted" not I! neither does my co auditor. Not he. we despise suoh things as guineas, we care not for the yeVow dross :—but if you hnve any rcpwA for yourselves, return me and Fri^er, "If you vote for me vote for Fraser," I can't 8"t on without Fraser lam lost without Fraser. Some of the others mieht turn nasty »nd refnpe to do what T bid them, but with Fraspr lam safe 1 hay guaged their capa bilities, and ft*ll yon, "Fraser is worth any two of them" therefore, vote, for me anri Fraser. And if you don't vote forF>aser, its no use voting for me, &c. &c. Now, *Sir I have the impertinence to differ from Mi Waymoutb, ia thinking th t some of th<» other candidates are just as able, as safe, and as honest, as tho combined ability, safety, and honesty of Mes«rs Fraser and V\ aymoutb twice over, and so I shall not vote for either of them. Yours,— Ratepayer.

THE AUDITORSHIP.

To tbe Editor of the Evening Stat?. Sir, -1 would rot Dotice Mr. T. L'igh White's ch»eky childish letter in last Friday Evening Stak, if not to reiterate that I am sum I saw Mr. T. Morrin's natre on th> notice board as one. of Mr Whi'e's proposers T a'so say that; Mr. Garlick has ripen canvas i'-s; for himself and Mr. White, and that Mr Wbite has told peop'e that he should no have come out if he had not bpen solicited to <io so This fact shows my statement aboul the clique to be true. T do net think m\ Utter will do Messrs Waymou'h and Frase> any harm, on the contrary it did *his g*W anyway bringing out the reply from M». Way mouth, ■which must convince the rate payers of tbe importance of the frffice of auditors. On that they must stir tbemaelm to get in the mpn who have been proved, anri we can trust the working men of Auoklanrl to come to tbe poll and n^tbn down trodden by cliques.—l am Ac , Gkokgg Staines.

The Tairua Murder.

Ranap*i Kahttkott, native asße«sor of Tanransa. and one of the most inflnen^ail Maori orators in. that district, whi is on hi? wnyM-o Whangaroa on a visit to his friend*, called afc our office to-diy aid made tv>f following statement relative to the Tairn-" murder : The native Petnra K'u'loi was n comparatively young man when h" wir killed, and lately resided at a place* called Ta'TJii. H" heloneed to tho TJrewpr% tribe, of Tanpo, and, «-ai nlwava a qniefc an<* peaneaWe man. The nVti'es for a Ion? time hare sn«nected him of Ving able to makutn (hpufiteh) p°np'e When the chief Erm. of Natimiru d?pd, p*>tara whs pu-P'"*. d P^hk", of Pa'ix^iri. tVn d'ed. an^ TCoibo' wisj Mimed for makutniog him, and ?a*eb Te "Ninihi. a creat chv'f, living a*.

There

were eight nen rand a woman in the bint, but the man who actually did the deed was Hipirihi. They lashed the body on to three kits of kumeras and dropped it overboard* and it Bank* The Bea arotttid was tinged «ith blood They did not return to Tairua, butwentbackin the boat to Katikati and told the story openly. I, with others, heard them tell it The murderers reported the affair to Akubata Tupae. who made it known to all the natives of Tauranea. This 18 a national affair agreed by'all the tribes as correct murder, because it was considered he caused the death of the pauple mentioned, and consequently when Mr Hopkins Clark and the Native Assessors went to Katikati, the natives protected the murderers. They remained there.quietly for over a week, and could have been seized easily then. I have received since I came to Aucklaod the fol lowing telegram fiora tbe Civil Commissioner at Tanrania:—' The answer by telegram from Torreke ha* jiisb been Ttc ived ad dtessed to Agatai and others. Your telegram has come. How can Igo to you now. If I had been there I should have done just as Mr Hopkins did. The laws say they must gr> by the words, therefore I say it remains with yourselves and the chit-fs. 'J hese are he words to the Ngaiteraogiß- -(Signed) Hopkins Clarke." I and John McLeod and other well thinking natives think the murderers should have been taken up at once and brought before a court of justicft and suffered the fu 1 penalty of the laws. Now the murderers have got away I waa the native assessor appointed to bring PeWa's wifn from Tairua, and sent her to her people among the Ureweras, as she would have been killed next. There are now about fifteen murderers aud accomplices going at lirge, and they ought to be taken up. The Ureweras have threatened that if the Govern ment do not take measures to punish the I murderers, they will seek raveDge pri vately. The country is in a very dis turbed state in consequence. There was no reason for picking out Petara, excep« that he was a quiet inoffensive man and got the narna whicn stuck to him None of the natives brought up by the missionaries believe ia withcraft. About the Maketu land row Rinapaia pays: Messrs. Mitchell aud Davis have been going fhnufc the country trying to buy land, bu1 his Jand will never be given up to them, because they want the land for themselves, and the money has been paid to the wrong pwpl<».. Any money that the real owner* have received 'hey will give o'her lands for ub will cot give up the Te Puk« block. 'I he natives act cautiously in dealing with the government because they claim the lands before they have been passed through the Xaiive Lands Court. Why is this law broken l>y the Governor when other Europeans ar» 'lound by it? Why do not the Government et natives employ their own surveyor* ?
