to be ample for both loans. £25,000 is too small an amount to float in London a,s a separate loan, but there should be no difficulty in placing the amount privately at par, giving the £100,000 debenture holders the first offer. I trust the rate payers will insist upon their representatives in the Council protecting their interests in this matter, and resist any attempt to lock up the other resources of the Corporation.— Yours, &c, Citizen.

OUR FRONTIER DEFENCE.

the Editor of the Star.) giE ■«. an editorial in the " Waikato Timcii 'of 31st ult., on our frontier defence, condemning the action of the Government for drawing all the A.C. Force from Kihi kihi, and leaving 26 mile? of the most ex posed frontier without any protection—on -.vhich subject I have a few words to say. The facts it brings forward are not new ; they are the simple, well-known truths of Dr Pollen's defence policy. But I beg to call the attention of the '"Times" t© the error it commits when it talks of about eidic and a half men of the Constabulary costing as much as would .subsidise 120 Volunteer Cavalry who would be ready for any emeigency, and when it compares the A.C. Force to a red rag which might draw down the bull, but afford no protection from it. The " Times " requires to be in formed, or rather reminded, that the Volunteer Cavalry are the settlers of the district, and are extended over a radius of over twenty miles of country, and in case of an emergency it would take some time to collect this force together. Therefore, the whole of the settlers are as much a defence force as they are, and to make the best of them they are only a local reserve. However, there is little fear that we are determined to have this defence question broitght before the House early in tli'e session. I must also remind the " Tiiues,"and it must admit,that the defence force of the Waikato district is self supporting. We fully admit the abstract value of reform to cut down unnecessary expenditure, but against saving a pitiful fifteen or twenty thousand pounds by robbing the North Island of its defence, paid for by the people, with their own money. There are five block-houses in a distance of nine miles on the confiscated boundary, three of these built only a few years ago, and we all at once hear of them having been abandoned, and absolutely left undefended. The voice of the Press, and the results of some important meetings, are conclusive proofs of a wide-spread dissatisfaction of their acts. Witness the following one within the last two years : We have been getting three mails a week, to and from this dis trict ; one of these was conveyed by the Mounted Consta Inilary from Hamilton via Te Awamutu to Kihikihi, until last week, when the officer commanding the district prohibited these men from carrying this mail, sending one to Alexandra, wh 3re he has nothing in life to do but feed his horse, aud the said horse nothing to do but eat. The postal department, of course, calls for tenders to carry the mail twice a week to Kihikihi, for which they pay the- munifi cent sum of five shillings per week. Now, this cannot be called cheese-paring. It is just eating it as it comes. We believe that these official blunders, and others like them, wliich I do not care to reproduce, will certainly send the Opposition party to the right side of the House before the session. The Defence Minister's official career maybe summed up in one simple and comprehensive phrase : a career of administrative failure, consistent in its blunders, and uniform in its unwisdom.— I am, &c, Pko Bono Pu'blico.—Kihikihi, 11th June, 1877.

THE RUMOURED INTENDED RAID BY TE KOOTI ON POVERTY BAY.

To the Editor of the Evknixg Stak. Sir,—lt is not at all to be wondered at that the inhabitants of Gisborne dread another raid from the blood-thirsty Te Kooti, for they have a good reason for apprehending such an unwelcome visit. Soaie eighteen months a^o, the hero of the Poverty Bay massacre wrote to Major Ropata, of 'Waimatatini, near East Cape, who, it will be remembered, rendered distinguished and praiseworthy service immediately after the massacre, in pursuing the murderer, with the view of capturing him dead or alive, but which valorous deed he did not succeed in accomplish ing—in which communication he impudently and iestingly put the question to him, as to whether he (Ropata) was not getting tired of peace. The Major, of course, regarded this interrogation as a gratuitous insult, quite worthy of the unmitigated villain by whom it was asked, as well he might, Te Kooti safely escaped- to the so-called King Country, where all native murderers find an asylum, for the enjoyment of their otium cum dignitate, under the protection of Tawhiao, and thus we have, in a dependency oE the British Empire, an imperium in imperio. What a monstrou-j anomaly is this, and what an indelible disgrace such a state of affairs is to our Government. Would so humiliating a demonstration of ruling imbecility and culpable laxity bs for a moment tolerated in any other appendage of Great Britain? Decidedly not. What, I ask then, is to prevent Te Kooti, or any other savage of his race, from sallying forth at pleasure, and sheddir.g innccent European blood, when a territory of refuge is readily available to them to fall back upon, after the atrocities are committed. We very properly raise our voice of execration again it the Bulgarian atroci ties, but here are atrocities at our very aoors. and wn remain silent concerning them. At the risk of violating the superstitious adage, <fe m-jrlius nil nisi bonum —if a violation it can bo called—l have no hesitation in saying that our Governments connivance at this unheard of rebel usurpation—an usurpation of the worst form—is, to a great extent, attributable to the mistaken leniency of the late Native Minister. whose policy, as regarded the management of Maori affairs, was, it is to be regretted, to sacri fice principles for peace. Peace, according to his views, was to be purchased by compromises of the most questionable character, and the •colony is now experiencing the baneful result ot so censurable a species of misgovernment. Why was not Tawhiao years ago compelled to yield implicit allegiance to the Crown, and also to surrender the host of murderers and thieves who infest the country over which he holds sway. And why, in the event of his refusing to do so, were he and his people not peremptorily outlawed, and the vile criminals to whom he had given immunity brought to justice, ana dealt with according to law ? Had this been done there would be no cause for alarm from native rebel aggression at Gisborne or anywhere elss in the North Island. The massacre of Gleneoe was perpetrated upon infinitely less justifiable grounds than the outlawry of Tawhiao would be. The worst that could be said of the chief (Molan) and the tribe of Macdonald's, who occupied that celebrated valley in the reign of WiHiam and Mary, was that they were a " set of thieves," (cattle-lifters). But with respect to Tawhiao and his retainer.?, the phraseology might be legitimately changed to that of " a set of foul murderers." The autocrat of the upper Waikato has hitherto uniformly assumed an attitude sufficiently defiant to indicate his deter mination to hold the power he has been permit ted to usurp, and'nothine short of outlawry will necessitate him to succumb. It is earnestly to be hoped that this all-important matter will receive the serious consideration it imperatively demands during the ensuing session of Parlia ment.—Yours, &c., A British Subject.

THE CRIMINAL SESSIONS,

The only important criminal ease atthe Supreme Court was concluded last evening. James Neagle, with three others, was charged with forcible entry of premises taken possession of by McFarlaue for an Auckland firm under a bill of sale, beagle, who previously owned the store, got together a mob and broke in, and took away the books. Mr ficcs prosecuted. A verdict of guilty was re turned against Neagle, who was sentenced to pay £100 forthwith, or be imprisoned for three months. The other people charged were discharged. LIBEL ACTIONS.

The libel action against the proprietor of the Herald for au article published in November, and supposed to reflect on Messrs Kennedy, Newton, and Knowles, is fixed for Tuesday. Three separate actions are taken, each claiming £1,000 ijrSaageß. Mr Cornford is engaged for the |||mtifis, and J. W. Carlisle and N. ♦H&son for the defendants.

barque Andrew Reid, with the remainder of the waterworks plant, has arrived. DUNEDIN. Wednesday.

THE LIBEL ON MR. G. M. REED.

In the Waimate lbel case no evidence ■was adduced, because Sherrin admitted the authorship. He raised the point whether he had published the libel knowing it to be false. The judge agreed, but said it was competent for the jury to find him guilty oi the lesser count. The jury found him guilty on both counts, but that he did not know the falsity of the statements. He was sentenced to three months. Sherrin wished to make an apology in Court, but Mr .Justice Johnson could not allow it. Mr dimming pleaded guilty to publishing ■ the libel, and was sentenced to pay a. fine ! of £100, or be imprisoned till paid.

WALKER PRONOUNCED A FRAUD.

[Press Agency.]

DUNEDIN. this rln.v

\V alker gave a public lecture last night. The attendance was large, and the lecture of an inferior character, and the general opinion is that there is no truth in Walker's of supernatural inspirations. THE DOCK. The debate on the dock question has now assumed the phase of whether or not the docks,will be so placed as to give a value to Mr Proudfoot's speculation in purchasing a large block of unreclaimed land from the late Provincial Government. Mr Proudfoot as the contractor for dredging aud rockwalling required 15s per cubic yard extra, to move the docks according to a former plan of Walters', on the ground of the proposal involving a further haulage than the original plan, and will not now agree for a much further haulage, and also consents to leave the rock walling already laid down if required. By this latter plan, the Board Avill be deprived of the most valuable portion of its endowment, and immensely enhance the value of Proud foot's previous speculation. There are now, in the Dunedin Lunatic Asylum, no less than 235 patients, of whom 72 are females.

THE FLOODS ON THE RAILWAY. TRAFFIC IN TERRUPTED.

CHRISTCHIIRCH. this rlnv.

There were very heavy fiosds in the Canterbury rivers yesterday, the Waima rakui over flooded, and placed a mile and a half of the line near Kaipoi under water. Portions of the line were carried away, and the traffic interrupted. The line is being repaired for traffic on Saturday. There is slight damage to the line between Rakaia and Rangatata. The floods subsided to day.

Our Goldfields.

There was a decided downward move ment in Moanatairi shares to-day. It Avas reported yesterday afternoon that the directors were in favour of taking .out, at once, the shot of gold from the winze drive, up to the SOft. level. The cir culation of the report had much to do with the sudden rise to £10.2s Gd. To day, however, although no telegram was vouchsafed to the public, it was ex tensively rumoured that the visit of the directors to the Thames had resulted in a determination to go on with some other work first. The shares fell during the day to £S 15e. Some very severe remarks were passed upon the directors for not publishing an authoritative statement on the matter. The general opinion seemed to be that it would be highly injudicious to allow such a rich vein of gold to lie fallow for an indefinite p riod.

Tokateas fell to 13s Gd, in consequence of the discouraging telegram giveu below.

The following telegrams were posted to day on 'Change :—

THE MOANATAIRI.—MORE MYSTERY.

GRAHAMSTOWN, this day.

Moanatairi : Three directors are here. Nothing is decided yet with respect to the working of the mine. Business up to noon was <|iiiet, when one who is supposed to know, was seen mysteriously to enter and leave his brokers by the back way. Directly after, the market was operated on. Sellers £9 10s, declining to £8 10s. The Piako crushing still continues to look well. 2.Gp.m. The Moanatairi Directors, Messrs Stone, Wardrop, and Clarke, visited the mine at 2 o'clock this morning, and have resolved to return to the old method of working, extending the drive and -winze, instead of taking out the block at once. SPECIMENS IN ALBURNIA. "" "! Alburnia.—A portion of the reef in the stope and drive has been taken down. There are 50 Jbs of specimens from the former, 30 lbs of rich specimens from the latter.

SCENE IN NEW SOUTH WALES PARLIAMENT.

i _ While the Estimates were under considera tion in the Legislative Assembly, Mr. , i M'Elhone, retorting upon some interjection of i Mr, Dibb's, remarked that '' at all events he , (Mr. M'Elhone) never forged his naaie to a I ship's register." Mr. Dibbs immediately said, I j " If the lion, member says that of me he is a ' j liar ; and if he says it outside this House, I ; i will wring his nose for him." This took place ' j early in the evening. When the time for ! adjournment came-—shortly before midnight — ■ i Mr. Dibbs rose, and as a matter of privilege j brought the matter under the notice of the { House. He said—"Mr. Speaker, I consider; I that a most brutal and unfounded charge has i I been made against me to-night by a member of j this House, whom in courtesy I must call . j honorable, but who, before I am done I may j I have to characterise in different terms. I have | been charged broadly with being a forger. I i now challenge the hon. member to prove the | ! charge he lias made against me, and I promise I him this, that if he can sustain it I will resign ; my seat to-morrow morning. And I will go - further. I will pledge all the money I have. : I give the hon. gentleman the alternative of j this, that unless he is prepared to substantiate ! the charge I will give in the resignation of my seat here, as one condition, and every shilling I possess in the world as another, I have the i reputation of myself and family at stake J but if the hon. gentleman is not prepared to prove that charge, he is to be branded in the eyes of ; the world as a liar, a scoundrel and a villian." j i Mr. M'Elhone said : " Mr, Speaker—l have | never yet been accused of falsehood. Of my ' "own knowledge I know nothing whatever about this •.natter. I had my attention called, shortly after I took my seat, to the strong I language used by the hon. member for West j Sydney, Mr. Dibbs. After I had left the Chamber I was told by a gentleman, who has occupied the position of a Minister of the Crown in the House repeatedly, that if Mr Dibbs ever attacked me I could put a stop to his attacks by telling him that he had passed false entries for salt at the Customs ; and that he had also forged a name to a ship's register. If my recollection serves me right, he said that only for something Mr. Dibbsgave Sir James Martin, Sir James Martin would have prosecuted him criminally. The hon. member for Newcastle (Mr. G. A. Lloyd) was the person who told me. I told the Chairman of the Committees that my authority was the hon. member for Newcastle (Mr. Lloyd). Of myown knowledge, I know nothing about it." Mr. Lloyd said : — "Mr. Speaker : I have not the slightest recol lection of making any such statement to the hon. member. The hon member does make so many random statements that really it is very difficult to believe where he gets his information from at all. At all events, I am perfectly certain that I never told him that Mr. Dibb had been guilty of forging his name to a ship' register. Ido not believe he ever did anys thing of the kind." Mr. M'Elhone : '"I de g'.are to my God the hon. member did tell me what I have stated." Mr. Dibbs: "The question which I have raised has not been settled. I have made a challenge, and my reputation is at stake. I stand here and chal lenge him or any other man in the House to come forward and lay any charge of dishonor against my name. I think he must either : prove it before this House, or he must stand before the House and the country as a scoundrel and a villian ; and he stands branded ns Uiat because is unable to prove it." Mr. M'Elhone : " Then the man who gave me the information privately is just the same." The subject then dropped, and the House adjourned. j

BRITISH WORKMAN PUBLIC HOUSES.

The following appeared in the Neio Zealand Wesleyan for June : —The appointment to Liverpool of the Rev. Chas. Garrett, the great Wesleyan Temperance Advocate, lias borne noble fruit to the Temperance cause, the scheme which he initiated for opening " British Workmen's Public-houses " having resulted in the formation of no less than eighteen of these useful institutions in fifteen months. The open ing of the eighteenth in December last was attended by two Bishops and three Canons of the Anglican Church, with ministers of all the leading denominations, including Roman Catholics, and merchants and ship owners of world-wide repute. From the speeches de livered we gather that the object aimed at is to establish these houses at intervals along the whole length of the docks, and thus form a counter attraction to the ordinary public-houses, of which there are no fewer than 46 within a radius of 150 yards from the Seamen's Home. In proof of success it was stated that 9,396 gallons of cocoa, coffee, and tea had been .sold during the week j that the average takings were nearly £600. How much of this would, had no such houses been open, have gone into the publicans' till, and what consequent misery and crime have been saved, it is impossible to tell; but it augurs well for the success of the movement that though commenced for purely philan thropic motives it has been conducted on strictly commercial principles, and pays the share holders upwards of ten per cent, profit.

WATERS has very great pleasure to an- ! nounco that since his removal into Mr. Dyson's ; late shop, his DINING ROOMS have been re- j novated at great expense, with every regard | to the convenience of his customers. The LOWER SALOON is the most spacious and comfortable, as well as the beat ventilated ; Dining Room in the Province; and Up-stairs he has furnished an extra room, of comfortable size, to prevent over-crowding. There are ; SPECIAL ROOMS FOR LADIES also up-stairs, to which are attached side oiliccs provided with ablutionary and other conveniences. His Table he feels confident needs no recommendation. The liberal patronage of the Professional and Commercial Gentlemen of the City which he j has received for a period of over eight years is a guarantee that the Bill of F>>re is such as will j please the most fastidious. EVERY DELICACY OF THE SICASON is always to be obtained. i British Magazines, Illustrated and Comic Jour nals, together with the leading London News papers, are lair! on the tables immediately on the arrival of each mail steamer. He, therefore, hopes with some confidence that he will, in his New Premises, continue to receive the large share of patronage which has been accorded to j him in the past. I E. W. wishes also to draw the attention of : Merchants and Storekeepers to his locally- ' manufactured Confections, which rival those of Keiller and the bust English makers.
