The committee then proceeded to deal with the postponed clauses. On dense eighteen, that Maoris be entitled to vote if on the ratepayers' roll, the Attorney-General said the Government proposed that Maoris should have two forms of franchise : If a Maori qualified under section fifteen, sub-section A, that is a free hold qualification ; and, second, if he is a ratepayer and has paid rates. The Maoris would be excluded from freehold or ordinary leasehold and residential qualification. That was a fair compromise, and he hoped the House would not say the Maoris should be excluded from voting with Europeans. The other course would be giving Maoris four or five additioal members in the House. He did not consider that it was desirable.

It was not right that such a large number of people who did not understand the language nor arguments, nor take the same view, as people educated in European civilisation. He would leave the House to debate this question. Mr Barton referred to the danger of entrusting too much power to a race which has a tendency to follow men not minds. They might be influenced by a man who would use the power to upset the constitution. There was no doubt that at present if all Maoris in the country were consulted a very large majority would follow Sir George Grey. Though he was himself a supporter of the present Government, he would not like to see such a state of things continue. He agreed with the member for Napier that the best way would be to give Maoris increased facilities to return mem bers of their own race to the House, who would represent their views. Mr Morris moved an amendment to strike out the words " every Maori." He did not agree with the statement of the Native Minister that Maoris would not be led by Europeans in the district. On ope occa sion in his district, the Maoris made up their minds during the superintendency, to vote for a particular candidate, and when they arrived close to the polling place he persuaded them it would be desirable to vote for another candidate. The Maoris were always disposed to support the party in power, whoever that party might be.

Mr Sheehan said the statement made by the last speaker was not creditable to the hon. member, or to the Maoris themselves. They were mistaken in supposing that his advice was honest when he persuaded them to vote in two different directions. He utterly denied that the Maoris would vote for the party in power. For years past they had voted against the late Ministry ; whether rightly or wrongly was another question. An election lately at home was called "the beer election," on account of the iufluence of beer. Amongst the Caucasian race there were many persons who wanted to be influenced by the party in power. The two races were about on a level in this respect. [Mr Barton : Then why increase that level? Do not sacrifice your brother's blood, like Artemus Ward.] The member for Napier did not understand the Maori mind, though he understood certain aspects of it. He only knew that the Maori vote of his own district might be used against him.

Mr Sutton rose to a point of order. He desired to know whether it was in order for any member to state that the Maori vote might be used against anybody. Mr Sheehan continued : The proposal to deprive the Maoris of the franchise was against the constitution as a matter of law and right. They are entitled to the free hold francnise. The present Government were not in the same position as their predecessors to scatter money broad cast. The present Government had placed £20,000 on the estimates for works in native districts, and were engaged in delicate negotiations, and a party in the House endeavouring to restrict the Govern ment in such a way as to prevent success. Each Maori in the House represents 16,000 people. Onfj'the basis of population they would be entitled to nine or ten members. The Government proposed to abolish the household Maori suffrage and limit them to freehold and ratepayers. They could not refuse the freehold because they are entitled to vote under the Crown Grant. He had received petitions trom natives ISorth of Auckland, complaining that though they paid rates they were not allowed to vote. He appealed to the House to say whether the Maori representatives had voted under the dictation of the Government. He denied the statement that the Maoris voted for men and not minds. They are a peculiarly idealistic people. This colony was now on the eve of a final settlement of the native difficulty; every word spoken in the House would be repeated amongst the Maoris in the heart of the country; every line of Hansard would be read by them, and how many members would like that done by Europeans. He believed the House would next session be in a position to legis late for both races alike. If the House next session desired to abolish speical represen tation he would support it. Mr Taiaroa supported the Government proposal. The Maoris con tribute 1 largely to the revenue, even women smoked. Maoris used large'quantities of sugar, used a pannikin full at one go. In articles of con sumption they contributed more largely than Europeans. . Mr Barton said the statement made by the Native Minister had altered his views. He now saw special reasons for snpporfmg the Government proposals, and would vote for them. . Sir Robert Dougias made a strong speech against the proposals which he said would disfranchise all Europeans. Pie appealed to the House that it would not do au injus tice. _ ~ , ... Mr Pyke strongly supported _ the , am, urging the necessity of doing justice to both races. . , ~ Mr Stout compared the inconsistency or members preaching justice and equal rights when they desired to deny the natives the franchise. "Maoris were subject to the same laws as Europeans. (Cries of JNo. ) He contended they were. This was a mere side wind to stop the Native Minister from carrying out Ms policy and prevent a suc cessful issue to the negotiations with Rewi. ("Oh, oh," and ''Hear hear. ) The Native Minister only asked that these proposals should exist one year, ike accusation that natives might be all of one mind implied this. It was the first Ministry that had ever united the natives. That was a great compliment to him. Why was the member for Napier afraid of Maori votes ? Because he feared the Maoris might arise and take vengeance on them at the poll. He hoped the House would not allow the Maoris to say " Here we are ready to come to you, perpared to make peace, aud then you pass a law virtually saying we are not fit to associate with you." MR SHEEHAN CHAFFS,MR FOX. Mr Sheehan made an amusing and.effec tive speech in reply to Mr Fox on the ques tion of native franchise. He compared him to a certain person who went down to Jeru salem and got into bad company. He (Mr Sheehan) would tell the old and a new version of the story of the fox and the ciow. Under the old version the fox flattered the crow into singing a song. When the crow opened its mouth down dropped the cheese, and the fox picked it up and ran away with it. In the new version of the story, the crow did not drop the cheese, but flew into a branch with the cheese and stowed it away, aud then sang. Further on Mr Sheehan said Mr Fox was absolutely a fossil man. The present Government had no desire to have seven years lease of office; though, if it did the country certainly would be as well off at the end of the period. The majority of the late Government served their seven years, though some got out under'commutation of sentence, and they escaped before their time was done. ,Mx Kelly-followed the Native Minister, but was interrupted by Mr Wakefaeld, who ■said, "We can't hear a word, sir, and another hon. member bawled out 'Speak up," to which Mr Kelly retorted .that if 1 hoi_ members would not interrupt him witn their conversation they would hear better.; Mr Whitaker said he was sorry tins debate had taken a party turn. He would endeavour to treat the question

apart from this. He accused the Native Minister of inaccuracy in stating that the General Assembly was prohibited from passing a Disqualification Act in reference to natives. The Provincial Councils were prohibited from passing any restrictions upon Maoris which would not- apply to Europeans. He did not know why the natives were not admitted to Provincial Councils, because there was nothing in the Constitution Act to prevent it; there was nothing in the Constitution Act to prevent Provincial Councils conferring the franchise on natives. He denied that the Maori members each represented 16,000 oE a Maori population. Taking 6,000 off 16,000 there would be 10,000 instead of 16,000. In addition to this, the special representa tives of natives had always a right to vote, as Europeans had a vote for freehold, leasehold, and household. The natives on the roll, with special qualifi cation, numbered 1900. The natives were better off than the Europeans. They had special representation for which the Euro peans could not vote at all. It was not correct that in 1867 the Maoris were en titled to sixteen or seventeen members. He denied the Maoris deserved represen tation upon our roll. They would prefer special representation, where they would be able to elect their own members, rather than by being mixed up amongst the Euro pean population. The Maoris who stood on the East Coast seemed only to have ten votes. He accounted for that by saying he had not as much money as his European opponent had ; if he had as much, he would have got elected. He contended that the House should place Maoris on the same footing as Europeans, and put them on an equality. Every Maori 21 years old and upwards should be entitled to vote for the House of Representatives in respect of the district in which he is rated, and the number of representatives should be in exact proportion to the Europeans. Then their representatives at present would be seven or eight. Representation in pro portion to names on roll would be fairer than the way proposed. They should abolish the Maori representa tion altogether, or let every Maori come in upon the electoral roll, as Europeans. The system proposed would not increase the Maori representation. Europeans would be returned, with rare exceptions. The bill would not give the King natives any repre sentation as all. They could not come in under this bill, as they had not passed land through the Court, He would oppose any attempt to give more than one vote to any person, Maori or European. If Maoris desire to come in on our roll let them, but, then, do not let them vote for Maori mem bers ; but if they wish to come amongst themselves, let them. Mr Bryce contended that the Attorney- General's proposal would allow, a number of Maoris to vote who hold lands in common. Mr Sutton said he knew one block where there were 165 names of owners in common. All would have a vote.

Mr Swanson argued they would not vote together. Like members of the House they would vote on opposite sides. The names of joint owners would include many chil dren. He would tell the Maori members of the House what Mr Fox said when in office. They had better stick _to their special representation, because in twenty years there would be few Maoris, but many Europeans. "He'(Mr Swanson) contended the proposed system of special representation would not last more than two years. Let Maoris have special representation, and if they want to vote for a European member, give them an opportunity. But if the House gave them a residential qualification, freehold and ratepayers, where would Europeans be ? Where is the Maori who would not have lived six months in the country, and have a residential qualification? Then Europeans would be completely swamped. He would assist the Govern ment to give effect to their proposals. On clause 19 Mr Montgomery moved an amendment with the object of excluding persons convicted of criminal offences from

votiug. Mr Moss opposed the clause on the ground that it would create a number ot pariahs. They would have to put the question to voters: "were you in gaol within the last six months ?" How would the mover like to be asked such a question before a number of voters, as, whether he was a rogue or vagabond, or had been cou victed of any criminal assault ? Mr Wakefield said the very fact of a man having been iv gaol six months wonld often give a man a vote, as it would have pre vented his leaving the district Mr Moss, in replying to Messrs Mont gomery and Wakefleld, said a man who committed crime and was released from gaol, might be as well qualified to vote as many more cunning rogues who knew how to keep out of gaol. Many ineffectual attempts were made to obstruct the amendments in the Electoral Bill, but the Government, after repeated divisions, carried the clause giving Maori freehold and ratepayers' qualification, and adding new clauses. Several divisions were very close. The division on the question that certain words of Clause 18 proposed be struck out (with a view, of inserting the Attorney-General's amendment) resulted in ayes 36; noes 43.. The division was as follows :—Ayes : .Messrs Atkinson, Barff, Bowen, Brandon, Siowh (J. E.), Bryce, Curtis, Douglas, Fitzroyy Fox, Gibbs, Gis borne, Green, Henry, Hursthouse, Johnson, Kelly, McLean, Montgomery, Morris, Murray-Aynsley, Oliver, Ormond, Richa.id son, Richmond, Rollestbn, Russell .Seymour, Sharp, Stevens;' Suttqn, Teschmaker, Turn bull, Wason, Whitaker, .a-uxT.

Tawhiti, Thompson, Tole, Wakefield, , Wood, The words were therefore struck out, opening the way for the Attorney-General's amendment. The House adjourned at 10 minutes Clause 18. the Maori qualification, ultimately passed in the following form:—" Every male Maori of 21 years of ««e and upwards shall be, subiect to the provisions of this Act, qualified to vote in the election of members for the House Representatives, but shall only be so qualified if (A) seized at law or in equity of land or tenements for his own life or for the life of any other person, or for any large estate of the clear value of £25 at the least, and has been seized for six months previous to the date of his claim to vote, or if his name is enrolled,on a ratepayera roll in force within the district in which he claims to vote on account of lands or tenements beloD-ing to him, and shall have acutally paid hfs rates for the year in which he shall lender his vote for the election of any member of the moved an amendment at the end of the clause "and shall be liable to be sued for rates in respect to such property," with the object of rendering all Maori property on which the franchise was claimed liable for rates The House divided-Ayes, 36; noe-,36. The Chairman gave his casting vote with the noes and the amendment was lost. h Mr' Montgomery moved an amendment to the effect that''no pe.soa shall be qualified to vote for the election of member or members of the House of Representatives in more than one electoral districts." Ayes, 16; noes, 44., lhe who was evidently suffering from something else than hydropathy-m fact, JhaSteneed a division, but funked when the floors were locked. A; shade of sorrow crossed mmm

obiect being to prevent Maoriowners in common voting on the same property. Division: Ayes, 34; nops 39 —Sir K. Douglas then moved an amend ment to separate the clause into two,. and put each pare separately and pressed division. He challenged the uovernrnent to a division but when the doors wer» locked he abandoned his intention, and the amendment was negatived on *hMr°Saunders moved—"That no person shall be entitled to have his name placed on ,the roll for more than three electoral districts, in the colony" Ayes, 16; noes, 44. The following new clause was accepted by the Government, moved by Mr De Latour, and agreed to on the voices— "Every holder of miners' rights or business license? who is enrolled on the ratepayers roll within the electoral Idistrict where such roll may be in force, shall be entitled to have his name placed on the electoral roll for each district, and all qualifications so created shall be con sidered to be a residental qualification, and shall be subject to all limitations and other conditions ( "Shoved to insert-" No person shall beentitled to vote in more than four electoral districts. (Cries, "Oh, oh! question, and you StomAnoved a committee to report pro- SlMr'Wakerleld almost tearfully said he had been waiting three hours to move an amencl- MrStout: I waive my motion. (Cries, "It's ■- MrHursthouse (in a very loud voice)—" Hear, Ivtr Wakcfield complained that Mr Stout had artfully deprived him of moving his amendment.

Ayes, 30; Noes, 22. Mr Stout moved to report progress which was declared carried on the voices. Mr Hursthouse (boisterously): The Noes have it. Members however rushing out, there was no division. Tlie House rose at 2.10. During many divisions tlie committee got very much mixed. The Government party and Opposition were found fraternising and vice versa. Messrs Brown and George, Government whips, voted on opposite sides. Some members got into the wrong lobbies, and voted on the \, wrong side, while others discovered the mistake S in time, and made a frantic rush to the other.

The "Tablet" on Secular Edu cation.

(BY TELEGRAPH.)

(Prom Our Own Correspondent). DUNKDIN, this day. The "Tablet" has two strongly written articles on Messrs Swanson and Sheehan. Of the former it says: He wa-> a very fit person to present a petition against Mr Ortis's bill. He not im probably augge&ted the getting v. of the petitions. Mr Swanson i* a very fit and proper person to be selected to present such a petition. He is not a Christian; is quite uneducated, and certainly is a keen, successful man of the world, with a sufficient knowledge of the value or money to understand what a high appreciation should be set on a good thumping interest for a three months' bill; and that it would not suit secularists to be over squeamish in putting i" to action the whole masninery of the law to en force the payment of the fame ; and a more fit and proper person to be selected by the united piety of the Auckland parsons and their followers to present their petition could hardly be found, unless indeed they had pitched upon the Native Minister " After asserting it haa received a telegram from Auckland stating that Mr Sheehan's conduct re the Education Bill was generally condemned by the Catholics of Aueklnd, it sajs: "There ia some foundation for the statement that his opposition is approved by leading catholics there. This is a very serious matter for Auckland, which in Catholic circles has already a name not to be envied. The Catholics oE Aucldaud are well aware of the great difficulty there is in finding any ecclesiasfrc willing to accept the responsibili ties of their diocese, and they may rpst assured a report to the effect that some of the chief amongst them are, on principle, advocates of a system of secular education, and approve of the Native Minister's senseless and unjustifiable attack on all Catholic ecclesiastics, excepta few old and worthy French priests, will not help to remove this difficulty. Already several priests have in succession been appointed Bishop of Auckland, and all have refused the position. Few men, even few priests, are willing to accept an office which, is laboriously responsible and exacting itself, is rendered truly distressing and vexatious by the hostile attempt of men from whom, above all others, help and sympathy should bo expected. Leading Catholics of Auckland, for their own sake and that of their sorely tried diocese, ought to purge them selves of all complicity in the sillg and mib chievous proceedings of the Native Minister.

BURTON'S AUSTRALIAN CIRCUS.

Tins first-class equestrian circus will leave Sydney on the 25th instant for Auckland, and will arrive about the 30th. Mr Henry Burton, the spirited proprietor, established his much admired circus in the year 1851, and since that period—more than a quarter of a century ago— he has exhibited in all the towns and cities of South Australia, Victoria. New South Wales, Queensland, and Tasmania. Mr Burton will make but a short stay in Auckland, when the public will have opportunities of witnessing an unsnrpassed troupe of the best equestrians pud artistes in the world, and splendid horses equipped in the most attractive manner. Ihe marquee will be fixed on a suitable site, and will be roomy enough to seat 6,000 persons with ease and comfort. On a future occasion, on the arrival of the circus, we shall refer particularly to the representations of this elaborate organi zation. The criticisms of the Australian Press warrant the anticipation that Burton s Circus will afford immense pleasure and satisfaction to citizens.

ST. JOHN THE BAPTIST'S SCHOOLS, PARNELL.

As it is desired by many of the ticket-holders in the Art Union connected with the above schools, which has been before the public for some months, that the drawing take place as soon as possible, we have to announce that efforts are being made to hold it early in October next. For this purpose, all those to whom books or tickets have been issued for sale will oblige by at once returning the duplicates, with the money, to the Convent at Parnell, or to the Very Rev. Father Fynes, or to Mr. Flynn, Catholic bookseller, Wellesley-street, Auckland, in order that it may be ascertained what number of tickets remain unsold, and to fix the date for the drawing. From an inspection of the articles there can be no doubt as to the excellence, genuineness, and finish of the several prizes ; and, were they exhibited in some public place, they would most certainly attract a considerable amount of atten tion and the tickets would be quickly taken. The monetary value of the aaticles is consider able although the amounts placed as the value of them individually are modest in the extreme. The names of only twenty-one are given in the printed tickets, but fourteen more have been added, making a total of thirty-five. They have been chiefly provided by the Sisters of Mercy at the Parnell Convent. ______

WESTPORT, this day.

In making a survey of the new road ai/ Mohikinui, in the Builer County, the surveyor struck a coal seam five feet back, two miles from the township. The coal is bitumenous and of excellent quality ; easily accessible, and may be brought to port at small cost.

WELLINGTON, this day. Arrived : Annie Hill, from Kaipara. NEW GUINEA EXPEDITION. The barque Courier, which has been purchased by a company, has been fitted out for a trading expedition to the North-East Coast of New Guinea, and will leave to morrow, or with the first favourable wind.

After the fire has drawn up, Cp_E may be added in small lumps (not in large masses), either alone or mixed with Coal A fire made in this way is better for not being stirred, so long as there is space between the fragments of fuel for a free current of air. The value of COKE as a fuel and as a means of economy of Coal is hardly appreciated sufficiently. A mixed fuel of Coal and Coke is invaluable forthe ordinary purposes of heating, and still more for those of cooking, as it absorbs the smoke or in flammable gases given off by Coal during combustion, and renders the fire brighter, clearer, and hotter, than it can be made by any other means. —[Advt.] When You Wish to Furnish, Your Souse, obtain a Book Catalogue from the City Hall Arcade, which contains valuable informa tion, not only enumerating what can be obtained there, but shewing the cost of Fur nishing a Three, Four, Five, and Six-roomed house ; also, Drawingroom separately, and Bachelor's Rooms.

The GOODS are of the BEST QUALITY and MOST FASHIONABLE STYLES, having been made according to J. LEVY'S OWN DIRECTIONS ! and he is well known to the Auckland Public as the Most Fastidious Clothier and Tailor to be found in the city. it^There has always been a scarcity of BOYS* and YOUTHS' CLOTHING in Auckland at this time of the year especially, but amongst this shipment will be found an abundant assortment to choose from of the latest styles. BOYS' AND C^UITS. Of any size. KNICKERBOCKER SUITS, . for Boys from two to twelve years of age, to suit both the richest and poorest (a want hitherto much felt). They were made in England to J. LEVY'S order, and could not be equalled by any tailor in Auckland, either with regard style or quality. Passers-by have always remarked that J. LEVY keeps the best assortment of MEN'S AND JUVENILE CLOTHING in Auckland, and this year he is determined to "out-do Herod," and so defy competition. J. LEVY'S constant study is to have a different style of Clothing for sale than is to be had at any other shop. This he easily does, as he is con tinually advised of the LATEST WEST END OF LONDON STYLES by his correspondents. cqk dozen Oxford Shirts .. .. ..
