THE WANT OF CONFIDENCE DEBATE.

The debate yesterday afternoon contained f pW pointi of interest. Mv KKKVES ridiculed the niaintouanco of n standing army at an enormous expense, .escribing how non-commissioned office-r ---and light-armed constables mounted guard daily at Government House, which he con sidered a waste of money. Was it supposed anyone was going to steal the Governor's belongingß'-' Ho condemned the property lax and did not expect when it was spoken of last year it would ever have been brought into operation. He admitted tho depression, but contended that a better man to meet the emergency might hnvo been devised without resorting to the pro posals made. A half-penny duty on wool would havo realised, without any expense whatever, £150,000 per annum. He would, make no distinction between washed and creasy, and by that means additional labour would bo employed, as all wool washed in the co'ony would savo export, duty, He would propose a duty on coal which would give about £40,000. Captain Russell, like a loyal soldier, defended the Ministry, while condemning minor points of their policy. When his friends wcro attacked it was no time to furthor weaken them by adverse criticism. The thanks of the country were due to the 'Ireasurer for his courage in having given them timely warning of the suite in which they were drifting. _ Tho financial pro posals wcro on the whole for the welfare ot the colony. He approved of the Property Tax. It was n slur on the industrial pur suits of the colony to say that this* tax would hamper their progress, He was opposed to the Beer Tax, Mr Stewart, of Duncdin, followed in opposition, remarking that the weakness of the financial proposals of the Government •was host shown by the readiness with Which they wore attacked and the littlo that could bo said in their defence. If the resources of the colony were properly developed they would be Abl-c to pay their debts twenty times over. The talk about repudiation was out of the question, aud need not for one moment bo seriously considered. The objectionable features of the Property Tax wore that It was essefttially inquisitorial ia its character, anil there was no proper safeguard for secrecy. Even the persons .-tempted had to make disclosures as fully in regard to their means as those whocamo under the Act.. The tax would retard enterprise and iudnstry. The chop-! pitrg and chaugiug of taxation, session' alter session also was nn objctionable thing. , He believed shippiug should be taxed. If this tax w«a insisted on, they might just as j well proclaim the whole colony ashcep run, | for sooner or later it would revert to that1 Btate. He would heartily sttppoit any; .ffort to reduce the Civil Service, He only hoped tho efforts of other Commissioner.-' would be as able as the Civil Service Com missioneis' report. The members of these Commissions appeared to have been selected from one side ot House, and that fact had done more than any other thing to bring reflection on the Government. He hoped the Government would sco its way clear to make material alterations in their proposal?. He was totally disinterested in the result.; Still that would not detor him from express-' ing hit? opinion freely on the point. Any reasonable proposal, ho believed, no matter from what source it emanated^ would meet with the hearty support of the House. Mr Mason believed the education ex penditure -ought to be reduced to the very elementary branches. Mr HurSthouse, who filled up the gap in tho afternoon, made a significant remark When he said anyone uttering the criticisms that Mr Ormond had used should be prepared to go on the Treasury benches, and the member for Clivc woald have an opportunity of giving a test of hi-- sincerity fa two or throe days. In his after dinner speech, when the House resumed at half past seven, he said it was disgraceful for members to vote a large amount for Bel lamys while preaching economy. "I have heard,*' said Mr Hwsthonse, " hon. gcntlej men in Bellamys complain of the soup, and abuse every thing down to the dessert, When I had reason to believe these honour able gentleman lived on boiled mutton and turnips all the rest of the year. ADy pro posal to raise fresh taxation was a matter highly unsatisfactory, but they were abso lutely necessary for the credit of the national character." He advocated the abolition of of the Minos, Marine, and Weather Report ing Departments, and that the honorarium be reduced to the bare expeuses. He quite believed in primary education, but he was opposed to large tracts of land being set apart for secondary education. They did not want that system of education that taught the son of the ploughman that he was destined to become a telegraph clerk, but to teach him to become a more intelli gent farmer. The aimy on the West Coast, he contended, was absolutely neces sary.

There was of course a full House to hear Sir W. Fox,who threw the House and gul laries into convulsions of laughter by read ing a leading article from a newsaaper oh the Property Tax, in which it was stated that the assessor would have power to ex amine a man's property, to inspect bis wile b wearing apparel, even to her—"Jupou" —daughter's presents from her sweetheart, and most of all, even the chamber " Sacred to connubial bliss" might be profaned by the intrusions of the State tallyman. The idea that the assessor would dare to pry into tho secrets of a female "Jupon" struck Sir W. Fox as being such a sc'in dalo-s accusation that he repeated the word several times iv a tone of horror. He declared that such articles were written by « portion of the press for the purpose of deliberately misrepresenting the property tax and to bias the public mind against it. They had been told that under the Act every man's circumstances would be known, and thcie was a danger of it being made public to the prejudice of the persons taxed. The provisions of the Act itself showed this was ntterly erroneous, and that no danger coald possibly accrue. The examiners were all sworn to secrecy, with heavy lines and long terms of imprisonment for a breach of faith. Indeed, he could conceive nothing being rendered more secure agaiust ex posure of this kind. The member for Clive made a speech last night which made tbem all stare. He stated that the country coald not stand this tax. It was to grind them down to dust. The fact was, two thirds of the population would not pay six pence under the tax. The fact was, the member for Clive stood up last night to advo catefor the rich man, and he was sorry to see it. He denied that the tax would have the effect of stopping landed improvements. The settlements of the waste lands was no doubt a method for reducing the present depression, but then that was a slow pro cess, and any attempt at force in that directio_ would be a very great mistake. The argument of the member for the Thames was, that every man should-have a homecarved out lor him out of the public estate, and from the moment he got that home he becomes a public enemy. The nearest approach to barbarianism was to place a man without experience on a small farm on bush land. There was no one more in favour of settlement on waste lands than himself—when the man was suitable and the condition right. What he reprobated was the making of this settlement a party question. The talk abont smiling homes and. happy families in the bush was mere claptrap—an election cry. It was mon strous and cruel to the very last degree. He declared that the ship was on the breakers, and that it was time they put about It was not the time to wrangle as "ley had been doing. The first question was this: Was further taxation necessary ? They had members of that happy tempera ment who thought it was not. According to his reading of the facts before them it was absolutely necessary to impose further neavy taxation. If they had the Ecnsation 'hat the creditor was at their door, and they couldnot meet him, the feeling produced was , most alarming. It had been said it would "we a great deal to make the Property Tax palatable. The Laud Tax was an unfair »x, because it was a penal tax. He also aefended the Public Works scheme. If H had been carried out under the con anions laid down the position of the colony *pn.ld have been very different. He should lot rush at retrenchment like a bull at a {.ate. Rethought the Government had a aeavy duty to perform. They would have w harden their hearts for the occasion. It Would inflict hardship on many deserving men, but still it would have to be done, members would have to approach the ques tion without selfish motives. It had got w no done, aud it would have to be aone without the slightest hesitation or •reservation. The large expenditure most complained about as going on at the West _,oaat was the appropriatioa of gentlemen ™° n °w complained the loudest. He re- Kardcd that as a judicious expenditure, and "would prove the battle cry of their future to ii p with the natiYeß. He next referred Woyal Commissions. From what was __._£ some member 3 one would believe «9t this was a new feature in constitutional i t v?nment. There was nothing new in 5'./' was that which was done every day dm, i ouße ia tne appointment of "work 2 ? their Select Committees. If Zr* of this kind were not done for the Go- S W m_the faot was it Y;oum Dever be by th |T- . st°ck of evidence on the table _l„i lvu Service Conmission was* a com «_»fT?nswer- Let the House wait till it Math W°tk (lone hy tLcse Committees, 1 The .. *orm •'-le:u' judgment accordingly. w_l geDtlenien had given their time to the * absolutely without remuneration:

t.ioy had, as had alroady been seen, lind imputations made against them. He refcred to education. He counselled tho Government not to tinker with tho great system of education thoy had been at r- 0 much trouble to build up. He did not say it was perfect iv all tho parts, but he said stick to it, and thoy would yet have cailsc to bo proud of its results. Sir W» Fox's speech was shoitcr than tho average of his utterances on great ooatsions and savoured generally of tho ordinary run of soiree orations, yet he made a few good remarks, especially iv depicting the horror of nowly arrived immigrants at finding his heaven-given hereditary farm in tile middle of a bush knee-deep in water, remote from civilisation, mtd cut off from communication with the surrounding world. He evoked much meinment when ho depictod his imaginary immigrants desiring to exchange his bush home for tho Hcsporides of the Kawnu, where .ho would be exemnt from taxation. There is a singular inappropiiateucss in Sir W. Fox's ciocu tipn, displaying a complotc disregard of em phasis and intonation. hjis voice alter nately rises and swolls to a thundering tragedy, and then sinks to an almost in" audible, smothered whisper, but tho changes are almost invariably ii appropriate to tho matter.

Mr Stevens made a practical speech from the point of view of a business man. It openly stated that for some time past tho I remter had bceu anxious to resign on account of ill-health, and that to-day tit a Cabiuct meeting Mr Hall reiterated his wish, but his colleagues would notlisten to it. When the iucidouco of taxation was fomewhat thoughtlessly changed iv the year 1577 they were warned that whoa the revenue begun to fail their education was the first thing that would be attacked. That prediction hadconiu true, as tho speech of the member for Port Chalmers and other speeches would show. He asked the Treasurer to disabuse his mind of the idea that the depression was merely tem porary, The value of laud had depreciated. The demand for thoir produce hadsuiik.and he did not sec that they had anything to look forward to for a very considerable time At least very shortly they will havo to pay interest iv London by draft. For the past nine years they had uot required to do that. They were able topiy interest out of tho loan periodically raised in the London mar ket. They would then begin to feel the direct effects of this drniu on their resources. The question w1 i;h, as suggested to his mind, was mad,. by the member for Clivo was this : Were they going to exhaust their landed estate j—live on it until it was com pletely exhausted ? That was what his pro po-nls about settling the landorl estate amounted to. He at least would not be a party to anything of the kind. He did uot agrco with the manner in which the Govern ment proposed to carry out Civil Service re ductions. Ho did not think the proposal made for the the reduction of the estimates by a lump sum would do. He thought each clause should be carefully gone into, and a close investigation made, with the view of as certaining what reductions could be made. He then proceeded torcviewthepropctty-tax question, contending that the provisions of the Act were simple and statisfactory com pared with that of an income tax. . The ono, he contended, was more inquisitorial than the other. Referring to the beer tax, be said it should be reduced one-half, and tho duties of tea and sugar re-imposed. At the proper time he would^ moVe that these duties be imposed. So iar as local defence was con cerned, he did not sec his way to consent to the proposal for borrowing out of tho loau. He did not agree with tho power to rate up to 2s.

Mr Tawiiia protested against the proposal to fax the _iative lands. He would give his idea of the course of the present financial distress which arose from the policy of the member for Haugitikei, who in ISG2 com menced borrowing to destroy the people of the Waikato. They had gone on borrowing ever since, but where was the money ? Not a penny of 27 million had been spent in his part of the colony. Yet now the people were to bo taxed to pay iutorcst. The Hon. Mr Dick said if the Govern ment tried to follow out all the advices they had got he wondered what would become of them. Tho Opposition set out with a spirit of hostility. Afterwards they told us they did want to supersede the Government. He could well understand tho meaning of that, It meant that if it were to incur all the obloquy of reducing the Civil Service, theu the Opposition would take the ad vantage of tho weakening of their posi tion thereby occasioned, and step into their places. 'I'hey had been told they were driving capital out of the Colony. Ho quoted from the speech made by Sir George Grey, and asked if that policy would suit. That was a policy no thinkiug man could agree to. He quoted from a speech delivered by Mr Macandrew at Port Chalmers, in which he said that he regretted that the £5,000,000 loan had not missed lire. What would their position have been had that loan misßed lire. Their commercial credit would have been ruined. They would have had to hide their dishon oured heads. Past events had put them iv a position that would not allow them to blow. They had to retrench, and that was not a very satisfactory state of things. In IS6C he was Superintendent of Otago, and he had retrenchments forced on him. That was on the eve of the Superintendent's election, and the result was that the -member for Port Chalmers came forth from obscurity aud defeated his election. He then left £7,000 in the Treasury, and Mr Macandrew promised to make that fly, and it did fly. That would show them that he was alive to the cousequence of a retrenchment policy. Still, as a Govern ment, they were determined to retrench. They had no fear of the result. They were confident of their ability to carry it through. The member for Clivc had heaped up the funeral pyre to consume the Ministry, but it was ot green wood, and would not burn, aud it had since been pulled to pieces. The Government would have reduced their Esti mates had they not been waiting for the report of the Civil Service Commission. They could not now, in the middle of the session, give proper time to the revision of the Estimates. They must trust the Government to do the work dur ing the recess, or put others in their place. They would not take back the Estimates to re-model them without time for fair consideration. He believed the report would greatly assist them. The service was undoubtedly greatly overgrown, and not pro perly controlled. In various parts of the colony there was too much centralism, and their policy would be to give local bodies as much control over the financial expenditure as possible. The present system of local government was unsatisfactory, unworkable, and expensive. It was a mongrel system. Their policy was to give the fullest possible local control. If good land could not find purchasers how did Mr Ormond expect poor pastoral land to sell ? They were not in Buch a panic state to sacrifice the public estate to a rich man who wanted lar<*e sheep runs. If supported by the House and country the Government would carry the colony safely through all its difficulties to a position of permanent pros perity without such sacrifices. They were now face to face with the difficulties result ing from ten years of reckless living. All who were responsible for that should now unite in helpin_ the Government to over come those difficulties, or else take their places on those benches, when he would willingly assist them. Mr J. T. Fisher produced the resolu tion of a public meeting, held at Lincoln, Canterbury, demurring to the property tax as unfair, and acquiescing in the withdrawal of subsidies. Taxing the Maori lamb, for example, was most out rageous. Now was the time to reduce the Public Service. The Government wanted twelve months to do that, but he would say, do ;t at once. Now that the Government could not borrow, they had promised to give the local bodies these powers. He would rcruit the tax on beer and put it on the brewers' sugar. Mr Speight moved the adjournment of the debate. The House rose 12.20 a.m.

Legislative Council.

THE AGENT-GENEKAL'S OFFICE. In the Legislative Council to-day Col. WHITMOBE asked whether the Government proposed to take any steps this session towards placing the office of the Agent General on a more satisfactory fooling, and fixing the term for which future appoint ments may be made. . ' • The attorney-General said the whole matter is under the consideration of the Government, and will be communicated to tho House during the session. Mr WatbRHOUSS asked whether tlie Loan Agents have been authorised by Government to convert any further portion rf the debt of the colony than that included in the late loan, and if so where was the OrdSin Council specifying the portion Sued He said he gathered from the printed correspondence in connection with the Conversion of the five million loan that the Loan Agents are under the impression that they are authorised to take further __msße conversion of a further portion ofthe general loans under the Cousol.da tn.Acfof 1877. Beforei the Loan Agents can convert any portion of the loans it is necessary thatYn Order-in-Council has to be issued authorising such ac on He wm nnt aware that such an Order-in-Couucu had blen issued, and if the Loan Agents Stlhe present time were taking any step.

to convert a further portion of the loan tliCir action would be illegal The Attorney-Genehal said that it TX, 1, r tho Consolidated Stock Act of 1877 that the appointment was made. Pre viously to the present Government comin*' into olhce certain persons were authorised to make declaration and gather Information relative to stock. that authority was re newed in January of tbo present year. The agents proceeded upon that simply to put the matter into position, but they had no authority to convert stock outside the last loan. Ihe .Government proposed to lay the Whole Subject before Parliament before making any iinal arrangement. Nothing would bo settled until that was don,). Sir Dillon Bei.l asked whether tho Go vernment had decided tho quostion Whether Sir Julius Vogel was entitled, under any engagement made by the Government, to any commission on tho inscription of the live million loan. Sir D. Bell said the papers laid beforo Parliament appeared to leave tho question unsettled. In tho letter of tho 21st April, tho Premier wrote to the agents under the Consolidated Stock Act that Government do not intend to cany out proposals made by stock agents for" remuneration. That letter must have reached London on the sth or Gth of June, but tho ageuts wrote on the 20th or 21st April to Government a letter, which closed the correspondence, and they assumed some proposals of their re muneration would be proposed to Parliament, and the letter of tho Government, though it declined to agree to the proposals which the agents made, did not intimate whether the Government had liually decided the question. Under tho proposals for the subscription of the Five Million Loan it will be open for anyone until tho beginning of March, ISSI, to convert their debentures into Block. After that they will not bo entitled to claim inscription. The Attorney-Gknekal said that up to the Ist of May Sir Julius. Vogol would reccivo no pay for inscription of stock. After that time ho will bo subject to a new arrangement.

Slit D. Bell gavo notice to ask whether the Government intend after tho Ist May to remunerate for the inscription of stock.

AMATEUR HEATHEN.

Shewing how tub boys rebkl„ed

ACIAINST MISSIONARY COLLECTORS. The small boy who has been woll and piously brought up hates tho heathen, though policy compels him to conceal his feelings. Ho envies the heathon small boy, and at the same time looks upon him as a selfish and remorseless absorber of Christian pennies. This is natural and evitablo. She small boy is tald that his heathen con temporary goes constantly barefooted, wears ve>-y little clothiug, is never washed, never goes to school, aud is never taught anything that is useful. Moreover, tho hcathcnstnall boy lives in a country where tigers and other delightful wild beasts abound aud where the exciting spectacle of a widow burning to death iv- company with her husband's corpse—an attiaction which no circus in this country has had the enterprise to offer —is frequently exhibited free. Of course, the small boy of Christian lands envies the blessed lot of his heathen brother, and would give worlds had ho, too, been born a heathen. Now, when this envious small boy is compelled to give fifty per cent, of his pennies to the heathen, ho feels that it is both unreasonable and unjust, and his anger burns against the heathen small boy, who, although rolling in every kind of heathen luxury, meanly absorbs the scant wealth of small boys who have had the mis fortuue'tobo born iv Christian countries. Ho cannot avoid noticing that tho grown up folks who think that he should give otic half of his pennies to the heathen do not divide their own property in that way, and he nevci drops n copper iv the collector's box without feeling that ho is tho victim of moral blackmailing.

Now and then there arises a small-boy with a gigantic intellect, and a decree of courage which marks him as a born leader of his race. It is the exceptional small hoy of this variety who heads expeditions against tho Indians, and oiganises gangs of juvenile highwaymen. That these outer prises do not meet with success is due to forces beyond his control, but they display the greatness of his intellect and the bol-'u ness of his character. Of this typo of small-hoy is Master Jaggars, of North Met- Ulan, who lately devised an ingenious and entirely novel scheme for arresting the ilow of American copper coins towards the hea then pockets of juvenile India. Some two months since Mastor Jag pars, who had painfull/ accumulated the sum of twenty-live cents, with a view to an expected cirous, was compelled to con secrate liftnon cents to the hated small-boys of India. It was this last of a long series of pecuniary outrages that determined him to take a bold stand against missionary assess ment", aud ho, therefore, summoned a mass, meeting of small-boys on .Saturday after noou at Deacon Pratt's barn, ostensibly with a view of rats, but really in order to propose a plan of defence against heathen encroachments.

Master Jaggars made a moving speech, iv which he glowingly described the luxury in which the heathen small-boy wallows. " He aiu't washed, and he can wear just as li(.tle cloze as hesermiuetcr. There ain't no school for him nor no Sunday, you bet. He cau go swiuitnin' every day, and can just lay off on the bank and sec the crocodiles scoop in washer women and such. Then his back yard is chuck full of tigers and hippopotamusse?, and no cud of snakes, and he can steal hw dad's gun and shoot 'cm out of the back window. This is the chap that rakes in all our money, and I say its nior'u we ought to stand. Now, I move that we all turn heathen ourselves. The folks can't make us wash aud go to school if we're heathen, and all the other boys will have to put up their money for as." It is needless to say that this speech was received with tumul tuous applause. Howls of execration went up as the luxuries of the hated hcatheu were described, and the proposal to adopt heatheni-mi as a procession was unanimously supported. A slight temporary opposition was mani fested by Master Sabin, who maintained thut in order to become heathen they must first have their eyes put out—a tiieory which was based upon a'misinterpretation of the hymn which speaks of " the heathen in his blind ness." Tho objector, however, was soon convinced of his error, and expressed there upon a hearty desire to become a heathen. The details of the scheme were all ar ranged by Master Jaggars. A piaster bust of S. J. Tilden was decided to be ugly enough to serve as an idol, and the amateur heathen placed it on an empty barrel in the barn and bowed down to it with much gravity. They discarded all their clothing except a towel twisted around tho waist, and blackened theirer tire bodies with burnt cork. There could be no doubt that they were very successful heathen in appearance, and, as it was late in the afternoon, they resolved to spend the night in the barn; to break fast on the spoils of Deacon Pratt's orchard, and to attend Sunday-school in a body, in order to collect tribute from the Christian boys. The Sunday-school opened as, asual next morning, although the absence ol •leven boys created a good deal of remark, .oon after the exercises were begun, the teachers were astounded at the entrance of Master Jaggars and his ten associate heathen. It is only fair to say that tho heathen behaved themselves with as much propriety as their professional duties would permit. Master Jaggars advanced to the superintendent and remarked, "If you please, sir, we've all turned heathen. There ain't no foolin' about it. We've got a first-class old idol, and we don't believe in nothing no more, fe'o, if you please, sir, will you please tell them Christian boys to fork over half of all the money they've got, and to remember how blessed it is to conse crate it to real genuine heathen." There is no instance on record in which a heathen has been converted as quickly as was Master Jaggars. The superin tondent held him by one ear, and at the tenth stroke of the cane Master Jaggars renounced heathenism aud promised to smash his idol and return to the Chris tian faith without delay. The otber heathens, alarmed by the fate of their loader, fled to the barn, washed themselves, resumed their clothing, and went homeward with sober countenances, singing missionary hymns. The North Meridan revival of heathenism was a disastrous failure, but nevertheless the boldness and originality of the scheme devised by Master Jaggars must command our wonder and admiration.— "New York-Times."

Rut if made of good stuff, he'll never run away from a country rich in itself if man's vices beggar it not. No, his very desperation will develop within him such a brave, resolute will, that, seizing adverse fato by tho horns, he'll cut his way to an honourable livelihood, inch by inch, with a ncver-sdy-dio rcsolyo that will multiply his resources until ho hits the right nail on the head. Anything is better than idleness, and if actually in want of a meal he should be glad to work for his board until something better turns up, which will not he long, if ho ii really steady and industrious.

The Charge Against Mr. Acton Adams.

TRIAL AND VERDICT.

[BY TELEGRAPH, PRBSS ASSOCIATION.]

NELSON, this day. The charge against Mr Acton Adams was concluded last night a little after eleven. An hour nnd n-hulf was spent in settling the special jury of a panel of thirty-six. Mr Connolly, who defended, challenged ten, and the prosecution ordered twelve to stand aside, and when the list was got through but nine of tho jurymen were m tho box, the remaining number not attending. Those for whom tho medical man did not attend were lined £5 each. The list was again commenced. Mr Fell then claimed to try certain jurors, but ultimately it was agreed to tike the first twelve by ballot, and tho case then pro ceeded. For the prosecution, Mr Bradley, Clerk of the Court, Judge Broad, Mr Donald, purchaser of Marnher, Mr Thomas, late owner and mortgagor of the same, Mr Edward Moore, solicitor, who took notes at the District Court, and Mr Jones, articled clerk to Adams, were the witnesses called, but the case for the prosecution was not so strong as it was betore tho magistrates. At the conclusion of the case for the pro secution, Mr Connolly said he should call no witnesses, and Mr Fell addressed the jury for halt-an-hour, making a good. but temperate, Bpeech. A/r Con Dolly followed for an hour and a half in a most effective speech, the Court being crowded.
