LIVELY MEETING C .-<■■> "vrKPAYKKS OF THE PAKg|, —DING. Xnen.anifc.stcd by the ratepayers was no rimib" due to th: fact that tho meeting had been iiiit'f'fucof another meeting convened f 1 1/ ™>S at the Paracll Hall. The convenors of that meeting concluding, that a r^sJwas attempted, had postponed their meot " arid called upon the whole of the ratepayers o attend Messvs Wrigloy and Killing's meot ir- Dr Wallis, on entering the .room, was received with loud cheers, and a similar com pltoont was later on bestowed upon Mr. Header w^s elected to the chair, and having opened the meeting, called upon the two srentlemen to address the meeting. Vir■Filling said he would lose no time but at once introduce Act 1. Conspirator ,s 0.2 Mr Chisslng (laughter). He was convinced that t; o a itat on which had arisen about hanging ud tto Act was the result of the interested moveinonts of a few (no). Ho would say at ncr that ho was in favour of bringing the At into force, and he would give them his =rm= As to What had been said about SS given? hV could say truthfully ho Sad not pledged himself to anybody. In his orinion the reasons given for hanging up the aW wereT very insufficient. As to the fears ol r\4tTorSlic7wero groundlosa; for no valu _?ion lists had been prepared, and they were fre" from taxation, at least for a twelve-month. Tho chairman had told Mr Bftwtow that they should not have tho valuation lists prepared at PrDr°WaWs: That was done privately, and not Thit^as, Mr Bars tow had met three or four of the Councillors, and .iked them if they meant •to send valuators, and they had told him "No." Tho speaker went at length Into the probable income and expenditure of the County,and (luoted the figures used by Mr layloi at the \Vh<n Tn eetin- and came to the same conclusion ns to a great sS being effected by the County svsteni in tho cost of administration. He H.n^-vit it i matter of serious consideration that ra°y of the loads recently attended to by the Sway Boards would bo taken over and mlntainea by the County. He nlluded csDOcialy to the Manukau Road, Parnell, and the llemuora lioad. As to these roads, they had the assurance of Mr Whitaker, that unless they wore tKi in hand by the County Council ««' repairs would be carried out by the Goverii "K.expenses deducted from their sub sidies If they kept them under their control they would be much more satisfactorily looked after— mere great laughter was caused by the entry of a wmtleman in an enormous hat and for some miuuiless tho speaker was unable to procecd.-Tn Snoeto the slaughter-house he could not but Ih uk that it would be advantageous to them to tak. over the control of that institution. It was notoS that it wanted reform and if thov did not assume the management of it the Government would.mid the fees would go to Wellington. In that caso the fres would not be reduced, and the butchers Would not gain any benefit. On the other hand if the County Council took it over. they would , devtake to put up a suitable bm ding and get •in eauitablo distribution of fees. lie had sk She ri sf^lEl "a 1 been for self-Government, and they now had it? There were, no doubt, detects m the Act, and the only way to discover them would be to bring the Act into force for it was onl 5 by Uf <£ fo^^S^n^^ whl^h-was you dont stop Mr Kissling he will take up the whole evening. (L Mr SKi3sling continued-There had been some misunderstanding as to the fees of the slaughter house "Mr Whitaker had stated that only in case of the Act being brought into force would these fees go to the Council. A Voice: How about the boroughs? _ Mr Kissling: With regard to that, ho might fell thorn that, the question had been put to Mr WhiW er and that gentleman had Informed SthatVhether the riding of Parnell was turned into a borough or not the representation would be unaltere?!; so that in any case he wo d still bo their member. He would now give way to.Mr" Wrigley, His advice toitem was to look out for themselves, for it they- did not-then--(The speaker coneluaed with a gesture intended to express the most utter con and counter CM? r j' Wrigley, who was very noisily received, gad he would not go over the ground traversed f-v hii friend. It was sufticient to say that he onite agreed with him. The charge of expense Sad bean brought against the County system anfairly. Tbey would save £1100 in the county system as compared with the old provincial system. The only paid official in the Council was flir* fiPPT*_St_LX*V» A "Voice- "How about the chairman." Mr Wrigley: Dr Wallis had proposed a motion that the Chairman should not be paid. STS^HeifoulTiiave waited till the V°A y Voice^" Pyes?and then he'd have been too • How about the bank business 1 &r Abbott; How about the seal? (Laughter.) Mr WrMey ; Let me finish tho bank business. Dr Wallis° wanted us to break confidence with th A Vsce: "And he was right, too. Why did yen not let him sec the terms when he wanted tOMr WrSev: I have not seen them myself. A Voice: Then you ought to have done. ( Mr^Wrieley: Mr. Tole had said loans wore being negotiated. This was wrong. They had uo thought of negotiating any loan. He was <ruite convinced that the result of. tfcis agitation against the Act would he that they would get boroughs made of Paracll. Newmarket, and Ponsonby. and they would lose all their rel°Vo?co: Oh, hang up the Act, and bo blowed toil. (Immense laughter). Mr Wrigley • They would get many benefits from'tho Act. They would get a slaughter house for one thing, and they would be relieved of the cost, of the main roads. Mr Caleb Wood said ho wished to make an explanation. They probably know that a meet in-' had been called at Parnell for that evening. The object of calling that meeting was to put the question of bringing the Act into force tally before the ratepayers of the Riding, and he had called UP«n Mr. Kissling to ask him to attend. They had hitherto had confidence in their mem bers, and it was a pity that that confidence should be disturbed. He was against the County Act for many reasons, It was great extravagance tn spend £i,OQO a year even for expending £3,000: it was a useless expense to prepare assessment lists for the County when they had rolls already existing {Cheers.) He had been informed that the cost ol a new roll would be at least £1,000. (Oh! Oh!) The question appeared to him to have become a slaughterhouse question. He accused the gentlemen who had spoken of having falsified figures, and ho hoped to bi able to prove his assertion. .Vfr Kissling : I hope so too. Mi1 Wood said ho presumed if tljoy built a new slaughterhouse they would have to borrow to build it—they had told them nothing of thatl Again, they wore relying on their £1,200 revenue from fees, and yet they were lalking of reducing them—that was falsifying figures. Thfl speaker quoted the leading article in last night's Stak to show that there would be no loss of subsidy from not bringing tljo Apt into force. He should advocate not: bringing tlie Act info force for some months at least, for if oncti they brought it in'they could not' get rid of it. IJm should move "That the Act be hung up, or in other words, that the Permissive clauses bo cot brought into force. (Loud cheering), Mr J. Abbott oamo forward and seconded the motion. Ho described the speeches of Messrs Kissling and Wrigley as incoherent ramblings. Mr Taylor at the Whaii had given a very good defence of the county system. His figures were beautiful, but he could assure them there was nothing so fallacious as figures. Mr Wood had put the matter v«ry clearly, and for a butcher ho had spoken very well. (Laugh ter). If he could only handle his cleaver hs well as lie could speak, be must qe' a goqd hand' ax cmtjug a. joint. He would put Mr Taylor to the test, "Would that gentleman verify the state ments he had made in reference to the income? <Mr Taylor was seated in the body of the hall, but made no reply. (A Voice: Echo answers no.) Mr Abbott: He does not answer, so let him henceforth for ever hold his peace. (Laughter.) They were always certain of the money going out, but it was different with money coming in. If.c had read the tragedy in the' Evening Star. That was as clever a skit' on the dodges of the County Councillors as he had ever read. It was splendid. He had woke up in the night and laughed over it. It would remain for ever fixed m his brain. (Loud Laughter.) These gentle men had.-, jperl carried away by their brief authority, l'heir accession of dignity had been too much for them, and yet he hoped they would strut a little longer. He was so pleased with what he had read, that he hoped the fun would be continued a little longer. Mr Kissling was a young man, and he had erred from want of judgment. (Laughter.) He hoped that gentleman would not be condemned by them that night. For Mr Wrigley. he had no com passion. (Cheers and laughter.) Mr Header G. Wood, in response to loud cries, came forward, and addressed the meeting. He entirely agreed with the two previous speakers, that they could not do batter than remain as tUey were. He had novel 1 saen tlie object of tlie jjfcti pd^Oid. fiOs tbjnJs ftny b.o,dy gty bftd.

except those who were elected County Coun cillors. (Loud cheers and laughter.) The most remarkable fact was that those very gentlemen who now appeared to ad vocate the Act, were before their election most strenuous in their denunci ation of it (cheers). He recollected being present at a certain meeting in Parnell, at which Mr Kissling was very denunciatory of the Act, and had asked him to propose a resolution to the effect that the Government be petitioned to erect Parnell into a borough. The petition was sent, but almost immediately it had come to his ears in a promiscuous manner that the Govern ment considered it of such importance to get the County system worked in Eden, that the Governor would bo advised not to consent to erect Parnell into a Borough. He had waited upon Mr. Whitakor, and had asked him plainly whether ho had told anyone that ho Bhouldso advise ths Government, and ho had said cer tainly not. In fact from what Mr. WMtaker said he concluded he was in favour of the idea. (Cheers}. Ths fact was Mr Wrigley was going to advise the Governor's advisers to advise the Governor not to allow it. Some people said it was impudence. They need not alarm them selves ;it was simply ignorance. (Laughter). They had been told that if the County system were not worked their roads &c, would be managed from Wellington. Now, he would set them right on that point. They would not be governed from Wellington. Their own I.ioad Boards would act instead of the County. (Cheers.) And lie believed that their ltoad Board with Mr Kissliug as Chairman, would manage for them much better than Mr Taylor at. the Whau. (Cheers.) Ho confessed that he could not quite ace the object of the meeting. No resolution had been proposed by the con veners or their friends. (A laugh.) There was little doubt that Parnell would be created into a borough, and under these circumstances was it fair for Messrs Wrigley and Kissling to thrust upon people who did not want.it, a system with which they themselves would havo nothing to do. If secret arrangements with Banks and other pretty concoctions wore to distinguish County Councils, he pitied the County system. (Great cheering.) Loud crie<3 were raised for Mr A. K. Taylor, but that gentleman did not respond. [CONCLUDED ON FOURTH TAGE.]

ADVERTISEMENT. AUB GODLESS SCHOOL S. TO PARENTS. No apology is needed to an Editor who takes an unfair ad*vantage of his position over a cor respondent. But "to Parents this explanation may be given: that thcro are scores with the writer who now are feeling deeply on behalf ol: the rising generation and our country's weal, in the matter of a totally Godless education. Such are loyal citizens and foremost to uphold and maintain good order and government. They approoiate the present successful system of secular education as far as it deserves to be appreciated. But there is a woeful deficiency they deeply regret—a deficiency which is already bearing its bittGr consequences. Tho cause of this is the shutting out of the only infallible guide and standard of right and wrong—God's Word. This is the "hateful association" belong ing to the present otherwise excellent .system. The Education Act, however, allows and en courages the use of this book at all schools after school hours, and that there shall bo no hindrance put forward is all that is asked, demanded, and expected. God's word is free to every child ; his birtljrigbt; as free as the pure air: and it amounts to an unbearable in justice, that makes blood' boil, when hindrances are attempted to be placed.in the 'way of that Book, without which man is but an intelligent animal.' If there are men opposed to this book, let them not attempt to rob, or influence others to rob our children of having in a perfectly law ful manner (after s'chqol hours) what is pure, safe.' arid everlasting, becinxse their own taste or opinion may differ. The Biibjoet. is a vital one, and there can be no surrender. This wtir for our Heaven-given right may be termed enthusiasm, or anything besides. Be it so. There is much need when corner stones arc being touched. Awake ! awake in time, Parents, to this momen tous question.—Yours, &c, Parent. TT AIP AR A 1! A|LW AY.
