THE ORANGE CELEBRATION,

(To the Editor.)

Sir,—ln tho hope that the roar of battle is hushed, aud the smoke cleared away, I ask your kind permission for a few remarks by way of explanation. All true friends of tho Orange Society, and indeed every lover of tiuth and fair play, must regret the way in which tho discussion has Leon conducted. With two exceptions, my opponents have attacked nearly everything except tho question in dispute, and have succeeded in mystifying themselves and everybody else. I think all my friends must be Irishmen, impulsive though generous, and easily moved either to mirth or tears. There is something pathetic in the way one writer describes himself as "personally weak," another complains of "unheavonly love," ancl a third discovers "secret treachery." The Orange Society may well cry, "Save me from my friends," for if the picture drawn by its Auckland advocates be a true one, the Society must be on its last legs, and its proceedings can only be regarded with the same melancholy, half-sentimental interest that attaches to a corrobaree of Australian aborigines. In each case you feel you are in the presence of o doomed race. But I wish to take a more hopeful view. Some of my most intimate friends are Orangemen. They sincerely desire to work in tho interests of truth aud liberty. So far we all agree. The point at issue might bo put in this form: " Is tho cause of religious truth and political freedom aided by tho Orange Society ?" I should be glad to see the question, so far as it bears on politics, treated by some one more conversant with political economy than my self. That the cause of religious truth is aided by the Orange Society, i think very doubtful. We all know that the annual celebration is looked forward to with feel ings of anxiety. The telegrams that appear in the daily papers show that in aome places breaches of tue peace are anti cipated. Now, I cannot think genuine religion is advanced by such agitation. It is a significant fact, too, that the great majority of Christian ministers of all deno minations do not identify themselveswith Orangeism. The same may be said of numbers of Christian laymen, earnest in labouring for the good of the church and their fellow-men. This may account for the fact that at annual celebrations, the addresses are frequently entrusted to young and inexperieuced speakers. They natur ally wish to take the line most acceptable to their auditory, and the easiest Way seems to be to paint vividly such sccues as the massacre of St. Bartholomew, or the dragonnadesof LouisXlV. These detestable nets, without any qualification, are placed to the account of theChurchof Kome. Yettherc seems good ground for believing that the misrepresentations of the French Court deceived the Pope as well as the unfortu nate Huguenots. For a Christian Bishop to rejoice over massacre and bloodshed, under any circumstances, is bad enough ; but if he simply believed that the Royal Family of France had escaped from any in famous conspiracy, tho "rejoicing" does not appear so atrocious as at first sight. With regard to the dragounades, the Court of Rome protested against the cmelties practised by the soldiers of the French King on his Protestant subjects. I dwell on these well-known cases because (they appear to me rather as acts of political tyranny than religious persecution. I must beg my opponents not to confound two sub jects which bear about as much resemblance to each other as Cleopatra's Needle to an antimacassar.

Then again, great historical characters are often treated ia a similar way. Take the familiar case of the unfortunate Queen of Scots. How often she has been in un qualified terms, and is, vilified as a papist and murderess ! Yet so acute an observer as the Key. John Wesley, after a careful examination of her history, says, '' Upon the whole, that much-injured Queen appears to have been fat the greatest woman of her age, exquisitely beautiful in her person, of a rive address, of a deep and unaffected piety, &c." He compares her death to that of an ancient martyr. I may be mistaken in the view I take of the Orange Society. If so, I hope I am ingenuous enough to frankly ac knowledge my error when pointed out to me; but I must ask my opponents to discuss principles, and not to call names. Such a course may be witty, but it is not argument. I beg them to allow me the same freedom of opinion I cheerfully accord to them. Some of the writers seem as posi tive as the Pope himself, and far more " in flammable " than Mrs Brown supposed His Holiness to be.

With your leave, sir, I will close my letter with a quotation from an article headed, " A Methodist Bishop on the Roman Catholic Church." It appears the Methodist Bishop of Boston, at a meeting held in one of his churches, a few months ago, was preceded by a speaker who em ployed the stock arguments against " Popery." In reply, the Bishop said :— " I have a great deal of respect for Roman Catholics and the Roman Catholic Church, and the feeling becomes stronger a3 1 grow older. 1 do not think we can afford to criticise until we display at least an equal zeal in the service of the Master. Who are they whose feet go clattering by our houses these cold winter mornings before daylight ? Who are they who fill their churches to worship God while we are in our beds ? Who throng our streets, prayer-book in hand with reverent faces, ay, and perhaps with as reverent hearts as any of you bear ? They are_ zeal ous, faithful Catholics, who believe in the truth of their Church, and feel that through it alone they can worship the God whom tbey fear and love. To what Church do those self-sacrificiug communities belong, that toil from morning to night for the good of God's people ? Who are these who come here from foreign lands, poor and strange, with nothing but a spade, and have erected temples of worship that put us to our shame ? Isn't the poor servant girl who lays a tithe of her earnings on the Altar of God sincere in her belief, and will she not find favour in God's eyes 1. . . . These are the people who fill their churches three or four times every Sunday with diitercnt congregations. These are the people who, sixty years ago, had but three churches in New York, and are now filling all our Protestant cities and towns. What right have we to complain that this is so ? Why should we abuse them because their churches crown the noblest eminences in the land ? Let us possess ourselves of those virtues and qualities which they have in a (stronger degree than we, and those added to what we already possess will put us in a position where we may have a right to criticise their actions."

Theso noble words need no comment. I leave them to the judgment of your readers.—l am, &c,

F. H. Long,

LAYMAN AND REV. MR LONG.

(To the Editor.)

Sir, —Allow me as one of the laymen that ■wrote, but did not touch the argument re " Syllabus," it being dealt with by Rev. Mr Isitt, to deny, as Mr Long remarked, " that most laymen are unacquainted with the article of their faith and theology." Perhaps (in discussion) some of them might not be able to clear the Him of his mental vision, and reduce his brain power to ordinary layman size. I agree with Mr Long that he has given a very plain "hint" that the "conclusion" in most people's minds i$ that his "principles of Protestant ism " would be better fixed if he became an Orangeman. Then if he did not like it he might, as Plutarch said, " find a short way to he useful to many;" ay, and with all the secrets he knows to boot in going over ! After his say on Mr Isitt's speech and his admission now of his opponent being "well-informed" and able to defend him self, he (F. H. Long) might also add " Postquam posuisti me contrarium tibi, factus sum contrarius mini [!] [!]"—l am, &c, J. Weight. ■«. (To the Editor.) Sib,—The Scribes and Pharisees ot old made naught the Word ot God with their traditions, and it appears plain from Mr E. H. Long's statement in last night's Star he,at any rate, applies rules to " authorita tive documents " much as they did. Per haps he will inform the laity why "Kules exist for the correct interpretation of Holy Scripture—Articles of Religion, theological documents, &c. (from the nature of the case known to Christian ministers, but little studied by laymen)." lam under the im pression that laymen are quite as able to in terpret such " documents " and to explain the " Articles of Religion " as the learned ministers themselves. All Scripture being given for our instruction, is open to all men, being the Word of God. Ido not say the aame for Articles of Religion—they are the work of frail mop, aud it often happens (like our laws similarly made) any number of interpretations may be put on them, and any and all of them may be equally ob served. What rule of theology will Mr Long apply to Isaiah xvi., 10 and 11. I fancy it will puzzle him to put any meaning on it but such aa the laymen are likely to apply. I also refer Mr Long to Isaiah xxix., 9to 19. He will see there what the God of Israel says regarding such preten tious as his.— I am, &c.,

PROXY VOTING.

(To the Editor.)

Sib,—Permit me, through the medium of your extensively-circulated paper, to en lighten your readers as to how business is conducted at the Grafton Koad meeting, and how the little job of striking a gas rate was managed. The first business was to elect trustees for the ensuing year. This was done, when a discontented party re quired a poll for a rejected candidate, and forthwith he and his friends lugged out bundles of proxies, aud, swamping the meeting, thereby got the rejected candidate in. Then the question of lighting tho district with gas came on, and.on being put to the show of hands, was lost.' This result was twice challenged, and nach time con firmed, and then, again, a poll was demanded, and out came tho same bundles of proxies again, on saeing which the ratepayers left the building in a body, leaving the proxy-holders and their few friend to do as they pleased. Now, I would ask, what is the use of calling a public meeting when all the programme is cut and dried by a few so very interested for the public welfare long beforehand ; and if the opinion of those present at the meeting is adverse to their little games, then ewamp them with proxies, obtained long before hand for that purpose. Ido not hesitate to say that if the opposers of the little jnb had had any warning of what was coming, they could have obtained treble the number of proxies against as was shown for. The whole gist of the matter is to be found in the fact that the Chairman of the Board is a gas director. Now, sir, though I op posed the rate at the meeting, I acted so on principle. I did not think it right to further tax an overburdened community for fancy luxuries, when so much wanted doing that was absolutely necessary. To prove this, I am willing, if seven of the champions of fighting will do likewise, to put my hand in my pocket and provide a lamp at my own expense; each of these gentlemen to erect his lamp at the spot he considers daugerous or where he thiuks most required. This I consider a better way of lighting the disti'ict, than by forcing the rate on the poople through the medium of entrapped proxy givers. Moreover, the 3d rate struck for lighting will produce about £120 in the dis trict, a sum which would lay over 600 yards of asphalt, or, if the property-owners paid one-fourth, it would lay over 800 yards. This would be a very great boon in a dis trict such as ours, and of lastiug benefit. But, Mr Editor, if I am not trespassing too much on your space, you will oblige me, as well as many others of your subscribers in the district, by informing us whether the very questionable meaus used to swamp a public meeting are according to the Act or otherwise.—Yours, &c,

Subscriber. [Proxy voting is legalised nnder the High' ways Act.—Ed. E.S.]

EDEN TOPICS.

(To tho Editor),

Sir, —At the annual meeting of tho Eden Terrace Highway Board, the attention of the ratepayers aud the public was called to two very important matters—the removal of the Post-office horn Eden Terrace, and the necessity of lighting the country with lamps, to prevent females, married aud single, from being insulted by nocturnal prowlers at this favourite rendezvous uf ruffians.

On the closing of the Post-ollice at Eden Terrace there was a very strong opinion expressed, bordering on indignation. It was centrally situated, and a public con. venience to a large population, where several thousand letters were annually icceived. This convenient letter depot situated on the main road has been closed, and in its room three reccive-s have been opened by the Post Master on branch roads for tho use of two or three private individuals. Be sides being no (retrenchment, the localities of those receivers is most laughable. There is oue at Great North Road, a second at Valley Road, and a third at Mobnt Albert. These iron pots do not admit newspapers, and if tho inhabitants want to post a letter here, they must Travel either to Great North Koad. Valley Rood., Mount Albert, or Shortlnml street.

The action of the chief post-master here Wll be made the subject of inquiry in the House, Mr Tole, in conjunction with Messrs Wallis and Swanson, to be asked to restore the Post-oifice to its former place. The other matter is worthy the attention of the public. .Prowlers at night are in waiting at the cemetery, and females, young or old, cannot pas<j to class or Choral Hall without having on their heels one of those black-hearted, cowardly ruffians to follow and to insult. The election of lamps at the cemetery, it is believed, would do away with this deplorable state of things, or facilitate their Captain. Something ought to be done in this direction at this celebrated midnight meeting place, especially as the police force is to be reduced by 10 in Auckland. Be assured that in proportion as you diminish the police few, you will embolden prowlers et hoc genus omne in their nocturnal depredations.--I am, &c, Lex-

FIRE INSURANCE.

(To the Editor.)

SiX, —Letters have occasionally appeared in your columns complaining of the rates charged by the Fire Insurance Companies. The writers seem to believe those rates are in excess of value ot the guarantee against the consequences of fire ; but a little consid eration may enable them to perceive the rather unreasonable position they have as sumed. Unreasonable, because no one would invest capital, with unlimited lia bility besides, in an institution which, were the reductions aimed at by your correspon dents realised, could only be conducted in such a way and at such a loss as would necessitate ,the immediate relinquishmcnt of all business, the result of which would be simply disastrous to the community at large. The question is not whether the premiums are excessive as compared with other countries under widely different circumstances, but what proportion do those premiums bear to the sick thereby incurred. That they are moderate is best evidenced by the fact of how few officers were able to hold their own last year, several paying no dividend at all, and others having to submit to a diminution. In every case «f the return the shareholders were fortunate to (get was due chiefly to the interest on invested capital, their private fortune, if I may so express it, with the risk of being consumed at any moment. It is questionable whether any man in busi ness would feel satisfied with such a narrow margin of profits accruing from a specula tion equally hazardous. The probability is he would not, but all reasonable business men will readily admit that the frequency of fires and their destructive consequences, where a town is largely composed of wooden houses (as wit ness the great fire in Chicago, when one English company aloDe lost £400,000) fully justify the present charges, where exist the present exceptional and most dangerous elements of risk.—l am, sir,

Fair Play.

BAPTIST CHURCH MEETING.

St. John the Baptist's Church meeting wa3 held last night, after an evening ser vice, conducted by the Key. J. Bates, who preached a very impressive sermon—" The character of Moses as a stirring leader of the Israelites; the founder of law-abiding principles ; his anxiety that they should hold fast by God ; his parting words at the close of a time-honoured life, as he blesses them tribe by tribe with words of wisdom and truth, impart to every one of us lessons that will last throughout all time— that man is nothing—God is all in all." After the service, Mr Bates took the chair and called upon Mr Hammond, the minis ter's warden, to read the minutes, and balance-sheet, which showed a sum in the bank of £30 ; several improvements having been effected to the Church|propcrty (which is entirely tree from debt) with the above amount ot its credit. The subject of clearing and fencing an acre of ground which had been presented some time ago by Maior Cooper as a burial ground was next taken into consi deration, and the churchwardens were instructed to take it in hand. A renewal of the grant to the Eev. Mr Morley to use the church for afternoon services was unanimously agreed to. The subject of obtaining a regular clergyman and securing a fixed amount as a stipend was also agreed to—leaving the matter in the hands of Mr Bates to carry out. The meeting was well attended, and Mr Denby, the peoples' churchwarden, and Messrs Mayhew, Jttoacb, Bradney, and Matthews, junr., promised to aid in obtaining the funds for the desired objects, which had been previously arranged.

WAIOTAHI GOLD MINING COM PANY (LIMITED).

Ihe annual meeting of this company was held this afternoon in the office of Mr F. A. White, Shortland-street. Present :Mr C. J. Stone, (chairman), Messrs Larkins, Nolan, Dickey, Stone, and Henderson, jun. The secretary, Mr White, read the balance sheet and manager's and director's reports. ml mowortiin'fl f 1 A

and concluding by stating that the prospects of the mine were very encouraging, and in the course ot tho next year would be pay able, it being one of the steadiest gold producing mines in the field. The balance-sheet showed a credit balance of £593 8s 3d after working expenses had been deducted.

The Chairman moved the adoption of the report and balance. Ho said the directors had been able to give three dividends in the course of the year, which was satisfactory ; and he believed that the mine had given as fair an averago of profits as any mine on tho field; and there was every prospect of its being more productive. Mr Larkins seconded, and they were unanimously carried. The Chairman moved that tho retiring directors, Messrs Stone, Larkins, and Dickey, be re-elected, which, on being seconded by Mr Nolan, was carried. On the motion of Mr T. Henderson, jun., Mr Garland was re-elected auditor.

A vote of thanks to the Chairman closed the meeting.

Cooper for plaintiff' aud Mr Coleman for do fendaut.—His Honor read his judgment, which was for the full amount claimed.— On Mr Coleman's application it was agreed to stay execution for a short time in order that a rehearing might be obtained. Grafton Hoad Board v. James McShanc. —Claim, £2 14 rates.—Mr Tyler for plain tifls aud Mr Keetley for defendant.—His Honor gave judgment fur the claim. Henry James Byron v. K. J. Do Lias.— Claim, £40, penalties for breach of the Copywright Act.—Mr S. Hesketh appeared for the plaintiff and Mr Theo. Cooper for the defendant. —Mr Hesketh in opening the case said that tho plaintiff, by his registered agent (Mr Gillon of Wellington), sought to recover from the defendant, who was lessee of the local Theatre, for the unlawful re presentation, on the nights of the 25th and 26th February last of a dra matic piece entitled, "One Hundred Thousand Pounds," such piece being the plaintiff's property. He (Mr Hesketh) had very little knowledge of the facts, but he would be prepared to adduce the evidence of Mr DeLias and of Mr Stcele, while Mr Gillon's deposition was already in the Court. He apprehended that in bringing the action he had three courses open to him. Thus he could sue for the whole amount of the profits derived by the defendant from the representation of the play, or if there had been a loss instead of a profit upon the venture he could claim 40s damages for each representation, or again, it was com petent for him to sue for an amount at which the injury done the owner nikhtbe assessed. Mr Cooper said that he was prepared to urge an objection to tho jurisdiction of the Court, but if the case could be decided on any other ground, he would prefer not to raise the objection referred to.—His Honor said that the objection to which reference was made was so material that he thought it should be taken primarily.—Mr Cooper thea contended that the Court had no juris diction, as the proceedings ought to have been brought by way of complaint in the Police Court before a Resident Magi3trate or two Justices of the Peace. This course was prescribed by aec. 8 of the Fine Arts Copyright Act of 1877, with which was incorporated the Amendment Act of 1879. Even if section 8 of the Act of 1877 was not relevant to the question, then, under the Act of 3 and 4 xc. 15, the action was only given to Courts in England or in the British Dominions which have jurisdiction in such cases, and the Resident Magistrate's Court Act, 1867, did not give jurisdiction in cases for penalties.—Mr Hesketh sub mitted that the Court had jurisdiction, and that it would be a great hardship on the parties if the case was not heard.—Hia Honor thought it better to reserve the point and to hear the case in the meantime.— Mr Cooper next urged an objection to the reception of Mr Gillon's evidence, on the grounds that it did not appear that it had been taken in open Court, while two im portant interlineations had not been initi ated. The main objection, however, was that the certificate prescribed by the Act of 1869 was not attached to the evidence. He did not place any reliance upon the first two objections ; they were ot a minor char acter. It was agreed to accept tho evidence subject to the objections.—Richard Julius de Lias was then summoned. He deposed that he was now, and was also in February last, proprietor of the Theatre Royal. Mr Wallace was then playing as S tar, d i vid ing the profits with witness. He engaged the actors, and found the house, it being arranged that the expenses were to be a first charge upon the receipts and after that the profits were to be equally divided between Mr Wallace and himself, Mr Wallace finding the pieces and giving his own services. That was an arrangement often made with Stars. By finding the pieces he meant that a Star always brought his own pieces in order to play them. The Star brought the properties and some of the scenery and the books themselves. Mr Wallace he pre sumed brought pieces, for they had none at the Theatre and he played some. He did not remember what pieces were played on the nights of the 25th and 26th of February, but as far as he knew he believed that a piece called " One I Hundred Thousand Pounds" during the period of Mr Wallace's engagement was played. He did not, how ever, keep any record of the pieces that were Derformed at the Theatre. He did not himself know a piece called, "One Hundred Thousand Pounds," neither had he ever een such a piece. He did not know an author named Henry James Byron, but he had heard of him. He did not know whether that author had written a play entitled, " One Hundred Thousand Pounds. " He never saw the book of any piece, and hardly once in two years had he seen any play performed, so that the questions which were being addressed to him were quite super fluous. The gross receipts at the Theatre on the 25th of Feb. were £10 3s, and on the 26th of Feb. £9 3s, while his expenses for the week were £139 14?. The costs were equally distributed over the six nights of the week. He knew the plaintiff ancl had spoken to him. Received a tele gram from that geutleman since the 26th February in reference to this matter. Mr Gillon had not verbally forbid Hen them to erform certain plays. (Left Sitting.)

CONFERKING TllE DEGREES.

The ceremony of conferring the recently obtained dsgrees at the New Zealand University took place in the old Provincial Council Chambers at noon to-day. The Chancellor of the University presided. With him on the Dais were the Primate, the Board of Governors, and the professors of the Canterbury College and Judge Johnston. The following degrees were conferred :— M. A., Mr Frederick Fitchell and J. Hay L.L.8.; Frederick Fitchett, 8.A.; Henry Connor, W. H. Herbert, J. R. Thompson, W. H. Williams. After the ceremony Judge Johnston addressed the assembly upon the advantage of higher education and the great facilities for acquiring it in New Zealand. The President also aave a brief address, specially with the view of urging that careful attention which must be given to the rudimentary work. Forty more unemployed were sent up country to railway works to-day.

Industrial Home Inquiry.

The inquiry was resumed this afternoon at 2.30 p.m., when the following statement, were taken :—

Mr T. B. Hannaford, after being.sworn deposed : I am an accountant and public amanuensis. He was asked whether he had any personal knowledge of a letter which appeared iv the " Fiee Press" of May ISSO, and if he had made those charges against the master of tho Home, lie repliedjthat he hadJno personal knowledge. Iv speaking of tho letter which appeared in the " Free Press " bearing his signature, ho said that it was a serious charge. He had since proved beyond doubt that one part of the petition was untrue—that is with regard to tho visit to the Thames. When he found this out ho wrote to tho "Free Press " in justice to Mr Stickley, requesting tho proprietor to insort a letter on the subject. Tho propriotor refused, saying there had been sullicicnt letters written, on tho subject. Ho did not know Mr JSticklcy personally, so could not bo charged with doing anything iv malice." The Chainnau said it seemed a Htrango thing to him to put statements of this kind into tho public press, he haviug no personal knowledge. Mr Hannaford Raid that the petition had been laid before the Parliament, aud was therefore public piopcrty. Any single in dividual wan at liberty to make u.se cf it. He might he in error, but that was hi.s opinion. lie considered himself justified in giving it publicity in the interests of a respectable member of the Police Force whom he had known for many years. The Commissioner stated that beforo Mr Sticklcy gave evidence he would ask any ono who had no personal interest in tho case. (Left Sitting).
