(.Members are anxiously looking forward to Mr Dick's full explanation of the in teresting game of fan tan, and it is jokingly remarked that he devoted the whole of Sunday to studying it. - A JOURNAL FOULING ITS NEST, j r, In,a leader in to-day's "Times" dealing with Sir Geo. Grey's Law Practitioners Bill there appeared a gross reflection on thq -"pressmen in the colony. It ranks pressmen as a "most undesirable class" to avail themselves of the provision of the Bill. It iiays that they, while possessing "an apti •,tude for acquiring a temporary and super-; Vficial knowledge, they could easily cram for 'anexamination,"but their advice " would •he absolutely worthless; that they would .''awatnp'the profession and under cbver of their admission to. what has hitherto been supposed to l>e a. trained class to play upon j the public.'1 This insult is being bitterly resented by all the local pressmen, and the editor of the paper is denounced in vigor ■aaa -language iby ex-pressmen -in the House, and members who are still journalists. The editor says the article was.supplied by,a member of the bar, and • wai put in without reflection. The writer is a sucking lawyer, whose father and yrejatiyes nearly all made a high position through the profession of journalism. I jmay mention that the " Times," a few days' sago, lauded Sir George Urey's bill to the > skips, and' the editor's presentation would certainly imply that he was the most fit subject for the shafts of his contributor.

■.;■;!'fißiKCTiyk LEGISI.ATIVB CODNOIIi. - Mr .WALUS moved, " That the time has come when the members of the Legislative Council should be elected by the people of the colony." He argued that the nominative system gave the Ministry of the. day and bipb'rtunity for acting corruptly. They: were'enabled to appoint their own partizans to the Upper Chamber. For example, the ; " Grey Ministry wore in a manner forced to ap : point no tower than nine councillors in order to enable them to carry on the bnsineas. The result was that it wa3 notthe wealth or yet the intelligence of the country that was, 'ailed to the Upper House, but tire most

'Tornmont.- In that way the Chamber was in-danggr of becoming .crowded with politic cal pairtizahsi _, 'Tiien. again," ; b,e oßjecJed'tg its p'rasqUi; coqntittiiipp iu^njileh asi.ii being a life-long-appointpent, it enatilfia Ministers to; appoint their own 1 particular •fp'ends, and ifewar.4 them w;ith a s^iail penJ 'sion.for- life.: : L lt.als6, tended' to.create.an -.aristocracy—a class with all the feelings of the aristocracy. It gave "enormous advan .lagq.evcntb the other branch; of the Legis lature, t 'Their Hfc-long appointment gave them a complete ; control of the Legislature^ and he thought the-time had come for the step proposed by the motion.l "Mr Rkld supported the motion? >° :l'i--) Captain RussßtiL looked upon, the si'stem of Domination as being the right'one. At! the,same time' he did not agree with tue nomination being for life. Mr-HAtiL regretted the' Question, would not receive that fulL.discussion aud corisiaeratio'ri it deaervedV It. was 'most tie-: sirable that there should be such a QhaTnb'er.; A check was. absolutely, necessary for the/ successful working of .their institution. Thej body, nominated as it was, had from first' to last done good service. Still he did not: think that the.nomination for life was the; best course to follow. The members were: apt to get out of harmony with the times/ and'the vacancies word too few to keep it.inj ton 6 with the tißnes.;jHe'_agreed''that'the nominative system was liable' to.' abuse,: although he did not mean to say it had been! abused. It was not a burning question, and as such they were iv a "condition to discuss it calmly. He was glad-the matter had been ventilated. What they-wanted was ;hc best men they could get for the Legisla tive Council, There were many men who md all the requisite qualifications.fori.effi i.cient councillors, who yet lacked the ability' to make themselves popular enough to: secure the popular vote; He would there-! tore say that it would be unwise to resort to a system that would- put; both Chambers too much on a _par, and thereby exclude that class of men from the Legislature. He thought the councillors should be elected by the House, and by ballot. Ex-judges of the Supreme Court,: ex-ministers, and many men in private life were the class of men who would bs most eligible for the Council, and by the means he proposed men of that class would stand the best chance of election. The whole question was one tor ventilation, in order that tho point might be carefully considered, and ia that view he suggested that the .motion should in the meantime be with drawn.

Sir Geokoe Grby cited the case of tha Provinciol Councils, whose legislation wa3 perfectly satisfactory, and yet it Svas done by-a single Chamber. So long aß;tliey had two Chambers they were found to have hasty "and imperfectlegislation, astheorie"Cbamber always, to a certain extent, left tho case and consideration to the other. In fact, the effect of two Chambers was to create a care less one, the feeling being that the check; would be found in the other Chamber. He1 insisted that it was the'duty of the Legis-i lature to be guided by a well-expressed' popular opinion, and therefore the argu-; ment against legislation being swayed by popular opinion was .completely.;, an-! swered. He insisted that:the real stats of \ matters was that the Upper House had stood in the way of good legislation. They had all ; along moulded land laws in the interect of the squatter.lt was wrong that there should, he a second Chamber to which a defeated ■catfdidateWho wfcsußeful'to a Government might be called. It was unjust and antago nistic to common sense. Was it right that a gentleman like the Premier should be allowed to resign his position in that^ Chamber when he thought fit. And yet" the Crown was bound to retain him, if he: thought fit,-a member ofrithat Chamber. for life. In an arrangement of that kind: there was a disparity which ought not to exist. No one would call it a healthy; s fate of things. Such a state of things! aughb not' to be allowed to exist Jfor a* single day. Ho understood that the: Premier intended to introduce a Bill to modify the constitution of tho Upper; House. That was what he led the coun-j try •to expect, "and he called upon Go vernment to make good that expectation," and he was"sure th'oy wouldallaid the Go-' vernment in the endeavour.

Debate iriferrupted'by*the 5.30 adjourn ment. The House resumed at 7.30.

TBIAEU ENDOWMENT.

The House went into committee on! the Timaru Harbour Board Endowment

MrRoLLESTON opposed Clause 3, pro-: viding for landed endowment. After debate, on the motion of Mr Sheehan, Mr TUBNBtriiL, wKo was in charge of the Bill, agreed to accept the first part of the schedule alone, reducing the endowment from 100,000/ to 50,000 acres. ~. •• » . The schedule was amended accordingly, and on the question being put that it Htaud part of the Bill, the House divided. Ayes, 33; noes, 22.'. ! ; /. :.: X I Ifl / The Bill was reported with amendments.;' and ordered to be .^considered on Wednes day....,,., .... , ~:■■. , yy..', ::y, ~ j OFFENCES AGAINST THE PBBSON. Mr WESToii.moved the second reading of the Offences Against the Persona Act Amendment BUI, imposing flogging for wife-beaters.*

Mr DeLautoub invited the House to consider the Bill carefully. The tendency of introducing the lash as proposed was to brutalize instead of repress crime. They should refrain as far as possible from inter fering with the criminal law until the re forms now-.going on in England had further developed, not to follow that development strictly, but simply to look at it for their counsel and guidance. Mr Stewart agreed with the principle of the Bill* but not the details. Alluding to the age at which consent might be given by females, friz., 13 years of age, he said that it was well known that in the colonies girls of 12 or-13 years of age were upou the streets. In that case it would be competent for such females to turn.round and.get a very serious punishment inflicted on the man whom they had solicited. , He isug gestedfthat'the ago should be restricted to 10 years.-These cases between hui band and inte'Jii 'encouraged, would lead to;endless strife.., .Marrie.dj.women h»d sufficient pro tection, under the Married Women's Protec tion Act,-anjd if cruelty was persisted id, she could provide for protection under the Act. In many,c»ses it wasthe^husbaod ,*who re quired'protection. , It was absurd to debase the husband; simply becauee: in a hasty moment he might happento be guilty of an indescretion. ,In sine cases out of ten these things _were "fermented by .third parties, and after the law had been set in motion the chances w.ere th,at ao was more sorry for it thantha'wife -herself. In. that wayjlf .this ißill passed into lawV the. domes tic-<iom?ort' of'many would be liable, to1" be iff-etriefably'aeisitrpyed.. ,He could see.no n'ecesaltv for this special legislation

Sir George Gkey thought,it would be well to gather experience in this matter from ihejpast.' At one time death was looked upon as.the, only, proper penalty of almost every offeice.' Then, again, the lash was looked upon as {he only proper penalty for a\ great. number ,of offences. 0 After the struggle ot years these punishments werteall but abolished. 'He would implore .theiri not to rcinwoduce tbc punishment of If they allowed it to creep in it ;wpuld be again ieso'rte'd 'to in ;atl its horrors. He hoged^they-would-pause;before takinff-a step of tfiis serious nature.

Stance^ n a [ jj '.: ni I 8 : 3 X 00 3 ' "Mf KotiESTON hoped the clause providing for flogging would be passed.

' The Bill would defeat'its bwft'ehds.' They" were going the wrong way to put a stpp'to the abuses "practised upon women* -Nowjfe.who had the slightest re sard for her husband, and no matter how much they might be abused,, {hey invariably retained some feeling of that >kind, rwould ever Jthink of exposing her husband to such a debasement aB proposed by the Act In that case this Act provided toe"very means likely to defeat the ends of justice. A law like this meant the break ing up of the domestic homes, and. they should pause before adopting it. As regards theconsent of yoang girls, he thought that it was a retrograde movement altogether. The bill suggested to him the idea of being a hideous measure-one that would be most prolific in domestic misery. He would feel'1* burning sense of shame were he to be a party to a measure of this kind. ;;.' Mr SteveKS agreed that the offence or wife-beating was so prevalent in the colony that it was evident the existing penalty was insufficient for ite repression. There were several offences for which the lash was pro vided, therefore, it was .no novelty. He argued that the offence of wife beating was far'more brutalizing to the rising genera tion than the punishment proposed by this Bill would be to the wife-beater. The offence wa3 one demanding further legisla tion and he held that the penalty proposed was the direction in which they should go. After further discussion, the second Tead jng was negatived on a division by 33 to 17-

TAWHIAO RECEPTION COMMITTEE.

THE KING BETURNS HOMEWARD,

A MBETIHO of the Tawhiao Reception Committee was hold this morning in the Chamber of Commerce office, Shortland- Btreet> there being present: Messrs J. C. Firth' (Chairman), Compton, J. Cosgrave, R. C, Carr, W. F. H. Hall, L. D. Nathau- Xi Morrin, J. Chambers and Dr. Campbell. Mr Cosgrave submitted samples of sugar and tea from Mr G. W. Owefa, and Mr Compton reported what arrangements had been nude with regard to potatoes,.fish, bread, etc., while Dr. Campbell announced that tho drill-shed would, be available for tho accoaajaodation of the Maoris. ■-

It was agreed to obtain supplies of tea, sugar, bread, beef and potatoes at the prices furnished/and to engage Mr S. J. Edmonds as native interpreter, distributor of food, etc., all these arrangements, of course, to be contiogent upon Tawhiao's acceptance of the invitation^; ~-,. . ■ .

.The Chairman announced that -there .was a probability of Tawhiao not accepting the following telegram'having been received by His Worship the Mayor last night from Major Mair :—"Tawhiao and his chiefs nro highly gratified at receiving an invitation from tho citizens of Auckland, but do not nee their way clear to accept it just now. They will send you an answer- directly. r~. W.:G^MAIB."^'.A ' ',; ,* ■" "~*

i After »aome discussion the subjoined m*esaage was perused, and despatched as an urgent telegram to Tawhiao himsejiij— "All preparations for your rece'ptipn aro completed. Citizens desire to see yonr face and thosei of yodr fellowa." ■ .; : .. -■ : ' It was' agreed to inform Major Mair of this action. '-" !T« ;■" r '"'■'■

The meeting , was-then adjourned till the afterhbou'r-, "

The Committeo met again at, two. o'clock this afternoon, when the folio wing, telegram: from Major Mair was submitted by Mr. Firth:—"'The reply to_ your invit»tion7was; posted in error, instead of ' being wired.!.iiWe are just starting for Ngarua wahiii. It was evident therefore that Tawhiao had bbt consulted Major Mair as toliowho should reply, much less the-nature of it. ' ' ' ' ■' Mr Firth farther explained that on the urgent telegram to Tawhiao which was penned this morning being forwarded to the-< Telegraphy Mr Furby sent.bacjc to inquire if it BDOtild1 bo wired in view of thp f»<St that ho had received intimation of the ..departure, of,the King party at ten o'clock: this, mbrniog, for Ngaruawahia, Under these circumstances it had been deemed advisable not to forward the telegram, .

A short discusaioa easuod, in the coarse of which it was stated that £350 had been • promised in subscriptions;. !and that £600 could easily be raised while eeveral handsome offers of proveuder, etc., were mentioned. The, Committee decided that;, they, could do nothing further now beyond' thanking the citizens for their spirited and [liberal response to the appeal so suddenly made them, and explaining Tawhiao's in ability to accept the invitation profaned Kirn". ;"■

This concluded the proceedings,

With great presence of mind Mrs. Miller tore- a carpet from the floor and wrapped iir round her burning garments. This bad the effect of stamping out the fire, but not before she was very seriously burned. The left side and arm are fearfully burned, and it will be some, time.betore the sufferer will be able to resume her house hold duties.
