Dr. Wallis said the advertisement in the "Herald" distinctly invited him and others to discuss the conduct of the Councillors and the seal. He thought Mr Abbott had not travelled out of the four quarters of tbe subject, and as for his language it was most appropriate. (Loud marks"of assent from Mr Abbott). The first reason he should give for voting against the Act was an anti-Ministerial one. The Government saw that the country was in such a sate of debt that they were obliged to provide f>r a property and an income tax. They dared not levy these themselves, and were in a fix what, to do. They must have consulted a Mophistopheles, who had put them up to the trick of the Counties Act. They had come Paddy over them', and make them tax them solves. (Hear, hoar). His next reason was that the Kn-at majority of the people wore against it. Knowing tiieir constituents wishes, they wore bound to respect them. But the financial reason was tlio most important. So l;ir as ha could sea they must face a deficiency oi' £2000, it might" come to £5000, and although Councillors said they did not mean to levy any rates, they had broken tbeir promisH as to bringing the Act into force, and so they would over the taxation. (Hear). Then the Aci itself was ttie most defective. He had never studied an Act so full of faults. Thero was the election of chairman. If ratepayers in municipalities could elect their own Mayor why could not the ratepayers in the counties elect their own Chairman. (Hear, hear). And then the chairman's three years tenure of office was much too long: it was an eiernity in these times, and all manner of jobbery might be worked in the course of it (Oheers). Then look at the borrowing clauses. Their Councillors had lost no time in applying to the banks for overdrafts. The Thames had got, £5090, and no doubt the Eden County Coun cil would follow their example and when they got it what a nics opportunity they would have of spending it among tbeir friends. (Cheers): !!■> had heard that Mr H. H. Lusk waa iroing to iv i dress them. He hoped he was. That reminded him of a story he had hoard the Rev Mr Hugh Hart. Mr Lusk's uncle, tell in Scotland. That gentleman was puzzled to know the reason of las church beiny so barlry attended, and one jii-ht he dreamt that the devil came to him and told him the reason wes he was too faithful: that it he would only sperk more tenderly to his liock, they would come and hear him. Mr Hart told the devil to gro back to hell. He would not use. his expression. It was in his case very appropriate, but as they must have no bad language, he would simply say, oil" with the Act to Pandemonium (laughter). But he had said there was a chance of ths Act being still brought into force. There were three parties in the Council, and it was quite possible that some of them might not turn up at the meeting. Messrs Wri^ley^ Kissling, and Taylor were in favour of the Act; Messrs Udy, Thorne, and himself were against it; and there were three others who had not declared, and they might turn out trimmers. There was just a possibility that there would not be a quorum at the meetiDg and the Act would come in to force without any vote at all. He hoped this would not be so. And he had some advice to give to his young friend, Mr Kisslin^— Aery: Ho is gone- Mr. Kissling (appearing from behind tho scenes): Here I am. (cheers). Mr. AYallis: Well, now, let that young man go to the Council on Friday, and give his vote against the Act. (loud cheers). One great reason why he advised that gentleman as he did was that he had a great esteem for Mr Kissling, and he could tell them something they were not aware of. All the business that was done in the Council was done by Mr Kissling. Mr Taylor ■was the chairman, but that gentleman did not know the actual order of business (cheers), and received all his inspiration from Mr Kissling, who sat at his elbow. The chairman called attention to the fact that no resolution was before the meeting. Mr. Caleb Wood then proposed, and Mr. Abbott seconded: "That Mr Kissling be re quested to go to the Council, and vote against the Act." At the suggestion of Mr McColl. this was al tered so as to include Mr. Wrigley. Mr Lowe spoke shortly in favour of the Act, and •defended Mr Kissling. His remarks were not well received. Mr Kisslinsj camo forward, and said it was no use" proposing such a resolution, as he had already resigned. He could not help referring to one 'matter, which was the election of chair man. Dr Wall's met him in High-street one day and suggested himself as chairman, and he felt sure that if he had been elected they would have heard nothing against this Act, or against paying the chairman. jjr "Wallis here ran forward, and explained that he had given a public pledge not to accept payment if elected chairman. As to what Mr Kissling had said about himself, he denied that he had coveted the chairman's office. Tho fact was that when he said what he did to Mr Kissling in High-street it was by way of a little bit of fun, for he had been informed j list before that Mr Kissling wanted the billet for himself (laughter), and he had also heard that; Mr Kissling had expressed his fears of " that fellow Wallis," who was likely to make a bother, so he had pointed to his own grey hairs (they were grey before he was twenty) and suggested that perhaps his experience and years would become the position. As for that he was better entitled to the post than any of them, for he singly represented a Riding with as numerous a population as those which were doubly repre sented. (Hear, hear.) D'1 Wall is sat down amid cheers. Mr. H. H. Lusk said it was plain to see that the opinion of the meeting was against the Act, and he was very glad to see that it was. The Act was a bad Act, and he had told the Govern ment so in his place in the House of Representa tives. There was very little confidence in the minds of the intelligent members that the Act would be accepted, and he had on the occasion of the second reading plainly told the Govern ment he should dissuade his coLstituents from accepting it. It had been a trick. As Mr. Wood and Dr. Wallis had already said, the Govern ment had sought high and low for a means of imposing c:ara taxation, which would not be kicked against, and they had hit upon the idea of makin."- them tax themselves. This Act, if it was accepted and worked in its fullest form, they would put the very strongest argu ment in the mouths of those who were in favour of keeping up the present state of things and against the establishment of separate Governments in the two islands. They would be met at the outset of next session with -the retort VV rhat is the use of separation where the Government of the whole country amply provided for the County. Councils. There were very much greater questions involved than slaughcer-houses and tolls, though they were important. If they allowed the Government to inaugurate this system of taxation, they would never get rid of it (hear). Then as to the ques tion of expense. He could not go into exact figures, but taking the £1000 a year for salaries as a criterion, the expenses of the 16 Councils would come to at least four times as much as the expense of Provincialism. And the Council of Eden was a model Council. They were spoken of as most self-denying and economical, but there were others, the Thames for instance, Which were not so. Dr. Wallis had made; a very humorous speech, in which by-the-by lie bad told him sormc facts in his family history of which he was before ignorant, and he had referred to the demoralising tendency of politics. Ho supposed it was the force of bad example, but he was sorry to see that Dr. Wallis bad been guilty of a little " shenanikin" in trying to get a double vote fo^ his riding (laughter). Mr Lusk was discanting on the temptations to which politicians were exposed, when a rate payer called out: " Can such great men be Mr Lusk: The word " bought" is never used at Wellington (langhter.) Such meetings as had been held in Parnell and Newmarket would be most useful in strengthening the hands of their representatives at Well ington and preventing the Govern ment throwing it in their faces, that the people were opposed to Separation, and were ouite in favour of the County Act. He thought they had done exactly right, and he regretted that their members in the Council were so blinded that they could not sec matters in the same cleer light as they did. At the same time they could not expect to bind the consciences of respectable men, and he quite agreed with Mr Kissliu" that if he thought he should be inflict in- damage on their interests by voting against thl Act hei would be doing wrong to vote that war In his opinion the best thing Mr Kissling could, do was to go to the Council and vote for the Act, and secure a quorum. Mr Staincs: But supposing Mr Kissling lias resigned; will anybody else be elected in his Tilace before the decision. Mr Lusk: lam afraid their will be a hitch, for bo far as I recollect there is no provision for such a csntingency in the Act. In conclusion Mr Lnsk trusted that they would adhere to their determination, and decentiy inter tho Act. Mr Abbott said the first section having lapsed from the recognition of Mr Kissling, he would propose another motion, namely, " That this meeting is of opinion that the Counties Act Biiould be hung up forthwith. Mr Staines fully concurred in this new motion, which might bo taken as an amendment on the first. A great deal of confusion was here caused by several gentlemen rushing about, and wildly proposing amendments. There was also great difference of opinion expressed as to whether Mr Kisslinu: was alive or dead in the County Council. The majority decided on this point that it was best to make- sure, and include him in the vote.. , Mr. R- C. Dyer said this was absurd, as he had r6Mr Jenkins said they must not make the saniHinißtakeasat'Newmarket: they ought to include both gentlemen in their condemnation. He ridiculed the idea of a representative saying it was against his conscience to vote as his constituents desired him. The Chairman said he had one resolution and one amendment before him. They were slightly irrpirular, but as he wished to consult the w^hps or the meeting as much as possible he would put the amendment first. On the amendment being put, almost all tho hands were held up for it, but on the chairman Sndmg them that by voting for the amend mint they threw out the original motion there was a revulsion of feeling, and on the question Vmini* put a second time, the amendment was iost, and tb£ original motion earned unani-. *AwwkfoS ti^nfcsto tfee eb&i«a&n $&$ o^ *
