AUCKLAND UATTLB MARKET,

MR ALFRED BUGKLAND'S WBEKLY RKFORT,

At the Hay market, on Friday last, there was a small supply of fodder, which sold at previoos week's values. In horse stock less than the usual number were sold, but late values were sustained, strong riding and actlvo light har ness horses brought from £U to «30 each ; an American bnggy, £30; and the Tuakau allot ment, £62. On Saturday, at Wainku, there was a full muster of stock, both cattle, sheep, and horses. A very numerous attendance, and fair Inquiry throughout the sale. All yarded were disposed Off The usual sale of hides and skins was, con qnenton the show, postponed. At Remnera, on Thursday, dairy cattln of good quality brought from £8 to £10; aged and indifferent stock from £1 10a each. A large number of calves and yearlings met with a slow sale, but maintained their late values. Fat cattle were in lesa number than required; the usual number not having arrived f.-om the coast prices were higher than last week, and ranged from 27s to 30a for Auckland-fatted, and 26s to 27s for shipborne. The show cattle sold brought respectively—for the cows £U 12a 6d and £11, and for the steers £13 17s 6d and £17 15s. Sheep were in moderate number only, and advanced slightly in prices. The pen of prize wethers brought 303 (3d each. Lambs were in full numbers, and maintained last week's values —from 7s 6d to 15s each. Very few pigs were yarded.

MESSES HUNTER AND NOLAN'S WEEKLY REPORT.

Horses : The market has bean unnaually ac tive, and prioes have an upward tendency. The Durham yards were completely filled oniTriday. A draft per Oreti, from Wanganui, of well-bred medium draughts attracted considerable atten tion and good compe tltlon; and prices were satisfactory to the vendor, Mr Hammond, of Rangitiki, notwithstanding the serious cost of shipment. Local horses sold better than for some weeks. We quota bucks, £8 10a to £18 ; light harness horses from £15 to £23; draught, £28 to £35. Cattle : Holidays interfered with onr New market sale, which had to be held on Wednes day, as well as the Pakekohe sale. The change of day had a less damaging effect than usual, and competition at both sales was good, and a slight advance in prioes ruled. We quote 2s per lOOlbs. advance on the average price of beef as compared with the previous week, but for other descriptions there were no noteworthy alterations. Sheep were plentiful, and receded slightly in value, 16s being the highest price for shearlings, ■While lambs sold for 15s. Pigs.-Bupply small, consequently prioes were in advance of market rates.

THAMES CATTL* MAKKFT. Banks and Co.'a Weekly Report.—On Wednes day the Parawal yards wore -well filled with cattlo of prime quality, all of which were sold, realioing 25s per lOOlbs. Sheep plentiful, and of variable quality, averaging 2Jd to 2Jd per lb. Lambs, very good, sold at from 12s 6d to Ila edeaoh.

The premature decay of beanty in many of our women, and the rapid advances of age, argue an unhealthy condition of tho system or a palpable neglect of their sanlt jry status.

For the cause that lacks assistance. For the wrong that needs resistance. For the future in the distance, And the good that we can do.

The cable news from Europe to-day gives greater promise of a peaceful cession of Dulcigno to Montenegro, but simultaneously a war-note is sounded by Greece. Piecemeal the Porte may be induced, under strong pressure, to conform to the Berlin proposition ; but it is quite evident, that when giving its consent to the basis of settlement fixed by the representatives of the Great Powers, Turkey had no more inten tion of carrying out its parfc of the bargain than it had in 1856 of seriously tackling the work of internal reform which was the only return England ever aßked for the losses of tbe Crimea. No doubt the Sultan and his advisers see in the rising nationalties on the borders of the Ottoman Empire the instru ments by which the final destruction of Turkish rule in Europe will be accom

plished, and tho impulse of self-preserva tion prompts a dogged resistance to the progress of events, though tho national fatalism and tho incapaoity and Mus-' sulman bigotry of tho rulers prevent any resolute and systematic attempt to grapple -with the evils that have sapped tho foundations of the Empire, and prepared it for its fall. The treachery and disingonuousness of Turkey to tho friends that aro disposed to support and assist it, and its reckless dis honesty, have been so glaring as to produce a combination among the Great Powers of the world without parallol in history.

LAWYERS' bills ot costs have formed tho subject of much discussion in the Courts and the press lately. A month or two ago wo wero edified by a discourse on this topic by Mr Travers, a Wellington bar rister, who declaimed with much virtuous elo<iuonco against tho practice of piling on costs which is so common in tho law Courts of tho colony. Thui ono of the.leading barristers in New Zealand should come forward as tho champion of oppressed clients was rogarded os such a remarkable instance of awakening repentenco that it wao believed that the Millennium could not he very far off. Tho fact that the costs involvod in legal proceedings even in tho in ferior Courts havo been almost a bartojustice has long been recognised as ono of tho cry ingovils of our system of jurisprudence,but tho most sanguine never ventured to hope that reform would couio from withiu tho legal profession. From time to timo faint protests have been raised by tbo losing par ties to suits against the monstrous bills of costs, often exceeding in amount the sum ii dispute, but tho subject has been dealt with more in the light of v joko to relieve the tedium of some uuintorcstiug caso than with any really earnest desire to effect a reform. For instauco, in the District Court the other day ono lawyer, referring to the costs on the other side, remarked that " they required watching," a truism which is morn or less applicable to tho profession all tho world over ; but tho observation only provoked a laugh. It is a hopeful feature, however, when wo find litigants mutually agreeing that .'jo costs shall bo awarded unless a certain fixed amount of tho sum claimed shall bo proved lo have been due, as was done in two cases at tho last sitting of the Court. Any arrangement which will rcduco tho fees aud professional charges within some reason able limits will be gladly received bythepuli lic. It is to bo feared, howover, that tho good intentions by which tho lawyers profess to bo actuated will go to improve tho thorough fares of a certain tropical region. Self-in terest is nufortunately a very powerful motivo iv this wicked world. Already we find that Mr Travers' preaching und practice aro singularly at variance. By a species of retributive justico ho is the first to be accused of that very sin which ho depre cated on a former occasion. In an action tried at Wellington, Browu v. the Tramway Company, judgment with costs was given against tho plaintiff. The hearing of the caao had lasted four hours, aud Mr.Travers, who was ono of tho defendants as well as their Counsel, sent in a bill ot costs amounting to eighty guineas, or twenty guineas an hour for his own professional services. Brown protested, aud tho ltogistrar taxed tho bill down to £55. Mr Olivier applied on Brown's behalf that it should bo further reduced, (mowing that in England the most eminent lawyers are only allowed a hearing fee of ten guineas for tho first day, and seven for each pucceoding day. Mr Travers ap peared and argued in support of his own claim. The Chief Justice in the course of liia remarks, said :—" I think tho fees ought to be a great deal less hero than in England. Everybody throughout the country—that is, all professional people — i_>et leas hero than nt home. Judges are uaid less, the oflicers of the Court get less, those in professions generally get less re muneration here than at Home, and I do not sco any reason why counsel should get more. I think they should get less. I have no doubt that the fees which havo been allowed here arc far too high. The feeg allowed for actions in the Court of Appeal are most excessive. There fees of 100 guineas and over are allowed to counsel for appearing in cases of the smallest im portance—that is, comparative importance —and often these high fees aru allowed to more counsel than one. In tho Supreme Court it is the same. I thiuk, too, in the Kcsident Magistrate's Court the evil is the same. There fees far too high are allowod, and in many cases they are allowed when) there ought to be no fees paid at all. As I said before, tho fees horo uhould be less rather than more than in England." Mr Olivier, who ought to know all about it, here said that many of the briefs and plead ings contained useless padding, put iv with a view to swelling the bilj of costs. He ferring to the case under notice. His Honor went on to say ;—" I believe in England no higher fee would be allowed to the very highest and most eminent council, men making from £7,000 to £10,000 a-year—l do not think one of these gcntlemeu would have been allowed io a case like the

present more than 30 or 35 guineas. , ." " No doubt labourers get more here than in England, in some cases doublo. But it ia not so with all grades of society. We do not find other professional people getting more hero than in England. Doctors, for example, we do not find making many thousands a year. And lawyers should be content totakelowerfees, like other persons. I ace no reason why they should not be con tent with lower fees. How far lower they should be as between lawyer and client is a matter for themselves, but as between party and party 1 see no reason why the taxing ollicers should not make them lower. It is within my own knowledge that fees charged on demurrers are far too high—they are most excessive, in fact. I am glad to be allowed to express my opinion on this ques tion ; and I do not sec why the Registrar should not follow the opinions that have been expressed in the Legislature. The Legislature have provided that in appeals troth tho R.M. Court tho fee shall be only ten guineas, to cover everything ; and it has in other ways expressed its opinion, and I do not see why the Registrar should not pay heed to it. I taink that in an ordinary demurrer seven or eight guineas should be ample. Then in many cases two counsel are allowed for where there should only be one." And having delivered himself of this homily, and discharged his conscience of the burden, his honor forthwith stultified his own remarks by declining to make any further reduction beyond tho amount already taxed off. As some consolation to Brown, however, he declined to allow costs on this application. His honor's reason for not interfering with the Registrar's decision was that the officer having been selected for the position ought to be com petent to judge of the amount which should be allowed, though his honor had only just said what was tantamount to stating that the amount was far in excess of what ought to have been allowed, from which it would follow, to any ordinary mind, except that of the sapient judge's, which is evidently not an ordinary mind, that tho Registrar was not " competent to judge," and, pushing the matter to its logical conclusion, that he ought to be removed from office. When such ridiculous decisions are given by the judicial bench there is little ground for hoping that any effectual reform will come from within tho profession. The only remedy appears to be legislative enactment.

To the Editor : Sir, —I have just received advice from C. O. Davis, wishing to know why his letter to the "New Zealand Herald," in reply to Robert Graham's, has not been published.

Tho great hucccrs which attended the late effort of the Auckland Amateur Gar rick Club iv the representation of " Miriam's Crime," coupled with expressed dosire on tho part of the public that it should be repeated, have induced the com mittee to consider the advisability of making another attempt.

It is pro bable that the reproduction will take place at the Theatre lloyal some evening next week.

Whitaker. M.H.U., Mr J. B. Whyto, M.H.R., and Mr K. 11. D. For gusson.

About ten days ago Mr McElwaine received a polite note from a Mrs Cox, of Nowton, asking permission for a party to hold a picnic on his paddock, at the New North Road, where it is very customary for several children to hold their periodical treats. Mr McElwaine replied intimating his consent. On tho Prince of Wales' Birthday, he observed from his house two parties enjoying themselves immensely in the meadows, and recognized one lot as the children of the New North Road Inde pendent Sunday-school, the others were strangers, and thinking they had intruded without permissioc, Mr McElwaine went to enquire tbc why and wherefore. Going up to one of the leaders in the sport, an angular looking lady, he remarked: " Well, you seem to be enjoying youselves." "Oh! yas," was tho response, "We are very much obliged to you for use of tho ground?" " Are you I" quoth the non-plussed owner, fl but when did you get permission, and to what denomination of Christians do you be long?" "Oh! we are the Latter Day Saints." " What I the Mormons?" rx claimed McElwaine! " Ye&," was tuc response, " Don't you remember Mrs Cox wrote asking for the use of the paddock 1" " Well', I didn't know who it was for," said McElwaine. However, the society of the Saints didn't seem to be by any means so bad as was anticipated, for at a subsequent hour the owner was observed to bo exchanging con versation lollies—with a fair young Saint— and Mrs McElwaine vows that, while she will be moat happy to sec any other denom ination, a community that permits of plurality of wives doseu't occupy that ground again.

A meeting of the ladies engaged in arranging for the forthcoming bazaar in aid of the building fund of the new St. Patrick's Cathedral was held yesterday afternoon in the select school of the Sisters of Mercy, Wyndham-street. His Grace, Archbishop Steins, occupied tho chair, supported by the Father Walter Macdonald. A state ment of progress having been made, the Archbishop expressed hia satisfaction at tho results of the exertions of the ladies, and had no doubt but the bazaar would bo attended with, gratifying success. The following ladies will preside at the principal stalls :—Mesdames P. Dignan, Boylan, Greenwood, O'Sullivan, Ansenno, and Danaher. Refreshment stall: Mesdamos Lanigan and Brophy. Offerings, in the shape of goods, Ace, will bo thankfully received by any of tho above ladies, or' at the Presbytery, Wyndbam-street. It may be sta'ed that a very large quantity of valuable j goods is already prepared for the bazaar, which will be opened on Monday, the 20th of December next, and continue tor the three following days. The place and particulars of the bazaar will be duly announced.

Some of the Thames Volunteers appear to have become enamoured of the Auckland belles who witnessed the review. The cor respondent of the " Thames Star " says ;— " Little Gelly has been placed under arrest I am told," for' unsoldierlike conduct, and has been matched off vi der a corporal's guard ; he disgraced the good name earned by his comrades, by daring to wiuk, and waffc an airy kiss from his place in the Scottish ranks. Poor Golly was struck at the first sight it appears with the laughing eye 3of J|a golden. haired]|flCllerslie lass, and so far forgot himself. I hear since that he has been let off at the intercession of the charming maiden. It appears Captain Watson had an eye on that bright particular star himself, and was unnecessarily prompt in arresting his rival; married men should know better. Watson is not the only one carrying on—Geordio Symington is alsr. taking advantage ofjbcing away from home. Some Waikato ladies who had come down to the sham light, were much disappointed at finding that Cornet Denby had not accompanied the troops; in vain had they strained their vision through vistas of powder smoke to obtain sight of bis well-ramembercd and idolised form." The same veracious special describes the advance of a .line of skirmishers about fifty yards from the main body as " a reconnaissance,"

To the Editor: Sir,-Please correct the error which occurred in my communication to the STAR of last eveniug. My challenge was in tho sum of two hundred pounds (£200) instead of £2, as your compositor niado me say. I have nothing against com positors in general, as 1 have been a " type sticker" myself, but when one of them makes such ungracious blunders, I fool like knocking his " forme " into " pi " for ever. Just make it £201). Lot " Katepaycr " come and cover it and it will be all right.—l am, See., Louis E. Cooick, Agent for Cole's Circus.

To the Editor : Sir,—Tho thanks of the respectable portion of the ratepayers of Hamilton arc due to "Burgess," for the spirited and able manner in which he vindi cated the ollicial character and impartiality of our chief magistrate, Mr Beale, in your issue of tho sth mat., us against tho Rcurri lons sublcadcr of tho " VVaikato Times." I havo carefully watched and admired the ur.iJ.orm and consistent way in which the Mayor has conducted tho ail'airs of the Borough, more especially his independent action, in ruferenco to causing tondors for printing and advertising, to bo called for, which resulted in tho saving of a hundred per cent of tho ratepayers' money ; and this in the fucc of the monopolisiug influence of the journal in question. No wonder, then, that "Tho Buster " would like to see him out of oflicc. It is not known whether the Doctor will consent to allow himself to he nominated, but I, for one, feel certain, if tho geutleninn who now does honor to the civic chair, elects to stand, his return is a certainty.—l am, &<:., AIiSIT INVIUIA.

Smokers should be careful where they purchase their tobacco. Since the increased duty some vile Btulfhas been sold in Auck land. A stick of it shewn to us this morn* inu had evidently been purposely made up to defraud tho consumer. Iho wliole of the outside was cunningly covered with a nice fragrant golden leaf, while inside was a black rotten compound sticky, with some glutinous matter liko molaescs,and evidently composed, not of tho tobacco leaf, but of some shrub resembling it. We strongly Biispoct it to contain arsenic. It would sorve the retailer right to publish his name.

The To Arohn. correspondent of the " Waikato Times " says : " The news from thio patt of tlio world is of small moment aa regards any more signs of gold. I'eople continue to arrive daily, many just to pay a Hying visit, a few to remain and sec what turn affairs will take. Mr Wood, late of the Nottingham Castle Hotel, and of Hamil ton, is putting up a butcher's shop, and will do a good business, there being nt present no regular supply of meat obtninahlo. I saw Mr Bullock, of the Thames, engaged in superintending the erection of a store, and I boliovo other buildings are about to go up. There nrc now some thirty men out, and they all say the sarao thing. The country abounds in reefs and leaders, and though I know that gold has been got in some of them in very small (quantities, yet I am equally sure that nothing rich has yet been found, though this might be alterod at any moment. When 1 sny that nothing rioh has beon got I allude to the reefs only, because some rich Rpecimcns have been obtained loose on the surface, by the prospectors."

The committco of tho Widow Arnold con cort at tho Lome-street Hall tender their thanks to the Attillery Band and to the siiiKOrs and readers who generously as sisted. The result was not quite so good as anticipated, in consequenoe partly of the loss entailed by tho refreshment tables, which, as circumstances proved, were scarcely required. The credit balance of £16 95,; has been handed to Mrs Arnold, who expresses her gratituto for the money. The following is'the (financial statement in connection with the concert: —Sale of tickets, £10 18s ; money taken at the door, £11 12s Gd; sale of refreshments, £3 Is 9d.

It is probable that the question of issuing permits similar to Miners' Rights, licensing persons to dig gum, as well as the imposi tion of an export duty on the product, will be brought under the notice of Parliament next session. Mr Firth called attention to the subject at the Waste Lands Board yes terday, in consequence of the receipt of several letters asking the Board to throw open ablock of 25,000 acres of land to gum diggers. Mr Firth pointed out the effect of giving a monoply in gum-digging to a few persons, who charged a royalty to the gnm diggers as well as an exorbitant price for goods supplied from the stores. Be depre cated monopoly, and recommended an ex port duty on gum. Mr Tonks thought the right of gum-digging over certain areas should be sold by auction. It was agreed after discussion that the land applied for should bo let for a term of one year for pum digging, the upsot prico being £150.

At Christchurch yesterday a deputation of representatives from the three districts of the Manchester Unity Branch of Odd fellows in Canterbury waited on the Hon. W. Rolloston, whon they decided through him, to request tho Government to make sundry alteration in the Friendly Societies Act; and tho suggestions made by the deputation are to the effect, that all societies should bo compelled to maintain one uniform rate of contributions in pro portion to their benelits; and that, to make this general, all registered societies should, within six months of the passing of an amended Act, submit their rules and tablos to tho Registrar tor his certificate ; and, if the tables be not adequate to the benefits, that registration of such society should be cancelled forthwith, so that the protection afforded them through registration should be withheld, unless their tables be correct and valid.

The Lingards thought our notice of their performance of H.M. "Pinafore" severe. We wonder how they liked tho following from the "Wellington Post":—"A by no means too successful season was wound up at the Theatre Royal on Saturday night lnst by the Lingards playing "H.M.S. Pinafore " in a manner in which it has certainly never been played before in Wel lington, and for the credit of the city will never probably bo so again. Dick Deadeye and Boatswain were tolerably well handled —but of the remaining characters, male and female, it would be both discreet and charitable to be silent. We would rather see Mr W. H. Lingard as Othello than as Sir Joseph Porter, for he would certainly play one character as weil as the other. The somewhat "loud" comedy, "Betsy,'1 formed the remainder of Saturday night's bill of fare, and it was decidedly amusing, the fun at times being fast and furious. Wo would give Mr and Mrs Lingard a parting word of friendly advico. Versa tility is all very well in its way, and the man who is proficient in everything—from pitch and toss to manslaughter—is no doubt a genius. But it is far better to be really efficient in one line or. business than in different in many.

"On! Bertie! Bertie! we are ashamed to think that a hlgh-olass pig llko you, occupying', as you do, such an oxaltod position, should have rosortod to trlokery!"—We oan imagine this to havo been the exclamation of our common herd of dairy-fod pigs had wo permitted them to live to soothe Show. We ara, therefore, thankful that wo had killed them all off, and converted them into baoon, baforo this happened. We feel almost inclined to give up the business, but we sliall take time to consider it. In tho mean time, wo Bball be found.

Tbe captain pre- Bently found that his box had been opened and thirty sovereigns taken therefrom.

JOTTINGS FROM THE JOURNAL OF A TRAVELLER.

October 14th : —Arrived off Taronaki 9 a.m. ; landed through the surf all light, in the city of the tour families, who have mar ried, and inter-married, and cross-married until a special act of the Assembly will be needed to legalise the ownership of the "kids." Not that the obtaining an Act of the Assembly would prove a formidable undertaking to these families who are the aristocracy, so-called, and the big guns of the Government, who keep in proper sub jection the turbulent under classes 16th :— Visited the breakwater';' what a sell! One fourth of the grant expended, and the breakwater not yet commenced. 'Where is the odds ? The four families; aud their henchmen finger the big part of the ex penditure. Coode's plans, which cost so much, have been improved on, and soon the remainder of the grant will have followed Coode's plans to astonish the fishes. The old Scotch game of ''scratch back " is here thoroughly understood and vigorously pro secuted. 18th':—Took the train to the Waitera. Here is where the town in reality should have been. A fine river with some ten feet of water on the bar, and handy boats of average speed could make the run to the Manukau in ton hours. Already a considerable trade in sheep and cattle and other produce is carried on. The railroad to Auckland seems to be the one wish of all. The general impression and the universal answer to iiiquiry as to why it has not been commenced is, " Oh, Auck land land jobbers must first buy up the lands of the natives for the company," then we will have the railway to Auckland. In the meantime we have the breakwater to amuse us. Our Representatives represent themselves, and so the thing goes on. 18th : arrived in the far famed Waimata Plains, of the beauty and fertility of which too much cannot be said. The equally famous Te Whiti, of whom we have heard such ridiculous reports, is a. most kind, genial, hospitable, upright old man. I have seldom met with a batter. Pakehas of any respectability in appearance are. lodged and fed, man and horse, free of all expense. When asked why he obstructs he will answer with a genuine shrug of the shoulders, "Oh, lam paid for al! that sort of thing." When asked "Who pays you," you get a keen intelligent glance with the assurance that " you pakehas are a strange, stupid people ; you sit men ever you the lowest of your own people, who were never chiefs, who roh you, and who rob the native." Te Whiti is not the half-crazed old dotard as represented by many of the newspapers, nor do I think that his demands are unjust or unreasonable. His mistake was that he took for truth the promises made to him by former Native Ministers. Of course, few white men would fall into such a mistake as that, out so long as the natives have in their possession valuable blocks of land so long will they bo victimised by speculators, more especially when these land speculating companies are able to control the Ministry. 21st: Cold and clear, had a view of the beautiful Mount Egmont, with its crown of everlasting snow —pure and white as the righteousness of the sainta. Still the beauty of the mount and the fertility of the soil cannot compen sate for the unjustifiable acts of a Govern ment in league with land speculating companies' agents —I am, &c, TjLVVBLtEK.

WANGANUL. this day. :> Further particulars of the tragedy at' Tub.ua are to band. Moffatt, in company with Henare, left Taupo for a jourieyi down the Waugauui river, giving M j^' reason that ho wanted to recover some property and money ho had left in the Tuhua district, The two travelled' 'to gctherwithoutinterruptionuntilthey arrived* on. Sunday last at tho native village of Matatinea, within a few mileaof Taumaruni Taumaruni is situated at the spot where the; northern branch of the Wanganui joins the' Pome stream. From the natives of Mats kin a Motfatt and his companion received no welcome. Tho Maoris appeared sullen, and told the travellers that they had no right there, that the laud was tapued to whita men. The same night the Maoris sent a message to Taurraruni to inform theinhabi. tants of the pah of the arrival of Moffatt' and Henry. The chiefs at Taumaruni; at once held a meeting, at which it was de cided that Moffatt should be shot, and they sent out an armed party of seven men tinder the leadershipof Ngatai, Manuka's nephew to carry the sentence into effect; ■•:*;/ THE AMBUSCADE. „ ',;,'/; The murderers formed an ambuscade in the fern by the side of the Maoif 'track' along which Moffatt and Henry would have to pass. On Monday the travellers resumed their journey, and when they came' within about ten yards of the split,'the war party rose up, and one of them immediately iircd at Moffatt and wounded him. .He staggered forward, crying out, "K&ti, kati"("Stop, stop,") when a second shot was fired at him, and he fell in the track a dead man. ; THE NATIVE SPARED. Then his companion, Henry, called on tho party to shoot him also, " kill me as well as my white friend," but they would not do it,'. as they knew him well, and he was a "Wan- I ganui native. Henry came onto Taumann, I but though he received no violence he met with no welcome. Be asked for a canoe to take him down the river, and at length I a lad volunteered to go with him. They. at once started on their journey, saw' Mamaku, who did not know what had happened, and appeared much grieved at 1 the news. They also saw Kemp at Pan- I kino, and by him were told to hasten-down I to Wanganui and Inform theautborities, and this they did without loss of lime'

Moreover, Mr Whitaker, publicly at Newmarket, mi ■ " that he would support that plan of 'deaJiof?' I with land." But, sir, "Extreme Left pr ; any other intelligent person, by one glance" at the material of which the present Govern' mentis constructed ueed not a second .to decide the fate of all land transactions as well as exemption of absentees from land taxes. Yet Ido not clearly see bow,*»' treine Left's very feasible plan could in »«Wt justice be made workable to act retrospec tively. But so long as the people thus shut their eyes to their own interests by selecting such representations, so long Wj aid- in building up an arrogant landei: aristocracy to trample on their individual rights and then use them as servile depen dent serfs.
