Stmt on the drag on pabhcworkß He jrtSS the Government against the charge having brought down the Eedistribu- Son MI at tie commencemeo]; of the sea son by saying it was impossible till they had the census returns. The local Boards „ f various kinds had been complained of as too numerous, but when looked into it would be found that they distributed the labour of local administration amongst the people. Sir Geo. Grey proposed most radi cal changes. He wa3 going to remove the fetters imposedby the constitution-his own constitution. The proposals about making the judges elective had been already answered by Mr Weston, and he would not further refer to that point. He charged Sir G Grey with having tampered with bis speech in Hansard. If Sir G. Grey's pro posals were carried out, it appeared to him that one-half of the people of the colony would be employed governing the other half. ,He criticised clause 28 of Sir G. Grey's Bill, giving it as an example of his financial fallicies. ' In Mr Saunders's speech there was a great deal with which he agreed with. He knew tbe Road .Hoards had done good work. He could not think that provincialism without legislation, could possibly cure any, ills under which they suffered. Would Timaru, in Canterbury, Oamaru and Southland, in Otago, be content to have their offices administered from the respec: tive provincial centres ? He had no reason to be ashamed of the work done by the j provinces. Still, provincialism had had its day. Let them by all means go to the country with Mr Sheehan's proposal for the restoration of the provinces. Mr Wood knew better than to talk about restoring provincialism. He denied the assertion made by Mr Wood that this local govern ment question was not thought of until the demand for it arose in the House. The fact was that the Bill before the House was practically before the House last year. There: were 63 counties in the colony, and that did not look a3 if there was any de ficiency of local government. Then they had the Road Boards, and of the two he was of opinion they .were the most serviceable. Any difficulty in the Road Board administration consequent .on the, changes brought about by abolition'would, have long since been provided for but for tlje' conduct of, those "members.whp7deslr.ed to return, to provincialism. ,^Government, proposed,to decentralise' as far as possible, but they did not wish to see the colony cut up into number of feeble states, unable to do good, themselves and preventing the, colony froni doing good' either. They pro posed to extend and improve the county and7Road"Board system. They pro posed to'delegate the main powers to the "counties at present vested in the Governor,' and so,' give tbem reasonable assistance "for opening put their district rbads} "'They did hot say their scheme was perfect. They would be'glad of anything to'make these proposals more perfect when in", committee. .'.' If .the' amendment was carried,' they could not ."'expect :th»t. the Government, not having a majority in the House", would attempt to pass a Redistribu tion of Representation .Bill, nor would they attempt to do so. Either Mr Ormond would have' to take their place, and attempt to pass a Redistribution Bill, or else they must go to }thie country without. If •be Was not prepared} to take the responsibility of his own act.then tbey would have to go to the country Avithout redistribution, and he was sure that people would resent thatjiro cedure.; ,Mv Ormond had acted wrong in moving this amendment without: communi cating With}the' Government.'., Whatever might be the result of the division j he and bis colleagues oh these benches,' could look back to their two years' administration 'of the government/with feelings of satisfaction, and with ,the} warmest gratituae *or* -.be' generous support given by their party.

'Sir G, Grey said here.was a Government deserving pity.1 They had: lived from hand to!' mouth without any policy,} and they were' now getting to the end, of their tether, They deserved I pity and. assistance. He denied that he and his.friends had' attemp ted to restore provincialism. 'They never thought of anything so insane; They knew that a .nation could not •go bick.:, What they proposed was to' make a step} in ad vance. His purpose had been' grossly mis re/presented.

LATEST PARLIAMENTARY.

WELLINGTON, this afternoon, CONVICT LABOUR.

From the return of convict labour laid on the table the value of the prisoners' work is calculated at 4s per diem for skilled, and 3s for unskilled labour, except in the case.of the printers at Lyttelton where the Govern ment printers' valuation is adopted. In Aldington Gaol there are 18 convicts, the value of whose week's labour is assured to be £15 8s payment by local bodies for prison labour :—

ADMISSION TO CIVIL SERVICE,

A return has been prepared to the order of the Legislative Council of the names of all officers who have entered the civil ser vice since the Bth October, 1866, who at the date of admission to the service were more than 20 years of age, the date of each admission, age, and salaries, at such date of admission, and the present salary of every such officer, taking the departments seriatim as given in the return, the number of appointments since Bth Oct., 1866, has been as follows : — Colonial Secretary, 66; Audit, .16;' Treasury, 26; Native jLand Purchase, 44; Public Trußt, 2; Education, 5 ; Go vernmentj Insurance, 14; Crown Land, 53 ; Immigration, 15 ; Mines, 4 ; Survey,. 109 j Justice, 80; A.C. officers, 7: Defence, 3 ; Begistrar Generals, 12 ; Architects, 4 ; Stamps, 34; Customs, 49 ; Marine, 16 ; Geological, 3; Lunacy, 17, and Property Tax,,2l. ;.;;., '-..- ' 7.7

THE POLITICAL POSITION.

The political position appears to have changed. Two days ago the Ormondites claimed a majority of eight,'. and satisfac tion beamed from their countenances, they were very confident and altogether in high' spirits. Yesterday they admitted they had lost the,'support of.-one or two n_en they"looked upon asc ertain, but still, danced a mental fandango- 1 over the fallen hopes of the Government. The Government party too were more ele vated, than on the previous day. T •THK GOVERNMENT NON-CONFI-" DENT.

■■To-day,-''.however,, a' change had come, over ■..spirit;: of * dream .of : ,irrecon;; cilables,: and some of :those who for the nonce joined with them to partake of the spoils, arising out of the great political [change. Mr Weston'thfe'y had hopes of; Mr Saunders thought they might get, but these with one or two others', while disapproving of the great Govern ment-measures of the- Ministry, did not believe in*their .'being -turned but on what they consider a false issue, and have openly; ranged themselves in the ranks of the Government army. This has almost completely shattered the hope of the " No-coufidence Party,'' and they now admit that they can only see their way to a majority of one, while the Government supporters are quite sure of a majority of 2. As far as could De judged now there are 43 members, almost certain to go with the the Ministers,.and.of the 45 remaining, two are unlikely to go against them, though they are still undecided, and have not made up their minds one way or the other. They will, however, both go into the same lobbj

They would welcome any rhpasures: that gave them that, control, and any men Wliq would join them in obtaining it. Sir George Grey was cheered heartily, and has stepped once more' to the front.as theac khowledged leader wilh a powerful follow- Mg, though he will not take office, under any circumstance. He can do morp.good untrammelled, and at liberty to express and act fnlly upon his own views in future. Mr HaU also spoke last night, bat his speech was feeble and his policy more ?fid. Little Weston made an unhappy beginning. He will sternly oppose the _riea_ures, but will vote for the Government how-' He denounced Sir George | Grey's allusion to the Judges at which he has taken greatoffence.

ASSAULTING A "PED."

I At the Magistrates Court this morning Patrick Clancy was charged, .on remand, :with I wounding Tim McAnliffe,' a' well known amateur pedestrian, witlr a pen * knife. -The- evidence went to show that iprosecutor struck the first blow, and Clancy 'drew a pen-knife and used it in self-defence.' ;Mr Bertram said he considered, that McAnliffe 'had brought the assault on himself, , and sympathised to some extent with Clancy. To say how far Clancy was justified, however, in,using the, knife in self-defence, must be for a jury to decide.

HARBOUR BOARD.

A spicii-ii'iheeting of tho} Harbour '.Board Was* held this afternoon to consider' the motions of which- notice htd previously been given by. Mewrs McMillan and Mc kenzie. There were present:—Messrs F. E. Compton (in the chair), McKenzie, Mc- Millan, J. M. Clark, Waddell, Isaacs, Thompson Masefield, Aicken, Mays, Stone. G. W. Owen, and T. Morrin. A motion for the adjournment of the meeting till next Tuesday, was negatived

HARBOURS ACT. Mr McMillan moved fee motion standing in his'name :-*-That, this Board are'bf opinion" that the second schedule to the Harbours Act, 1878, should' be amended to the following effect: (1) That .three members be elected by the ratepayers .in the borough of Aucklaud, one member tb be elected by the ratepayers in the borough 6f Parnell, and one member to be elected by the ratepayers of each of-* the highway districts of Ponsonby and Devonport-; [1) That-all'elections of members of the Board be held Under the,provisions of the Regula tionstbf Local Elections' Act, 1876 ; (3) That the chairman be paid such amount as the Board may decide upon; That a copy of the foregoing resolutions be forwarded to the Hon. the Colonial Secretary. --' I InMoving his resolution, Mr McMillan said there was no doubt that considerable dissatisfaction existed amongst the public in regard to the constitution of the Board. The motions which had been brought for ward by hinr were passed* by t he, Auckland Chamber of Commerce. The, present} mode of electioli" by ratepayers was sirnp.ly.adis grace. Doors were, closed, >.and,;..%e candidate ,-. who had} the largest show of hands' was declared,,,,,,. elected, Probably, in many 'instances, ~., the men who were returned were not elected by the ratepayers at all." These elections should be by ballot, and he also thought that the City Council representatives should lie balotted for by the ratepayers. The Highway representatives to the Board should also be returned by ballot, and thenthey would represent ratepayers. The speaker then'"ref erred' 'td the* question of .Spayingo the. ChairtnanJa ! salary. He was compelled to devoto a considerable portion of bis time to the affairs of the Board, and therefore it was only fair and reasonable that he should re ceive some remuneration. Mr McMillan, in conclusion, thought the Act shonjd be altered so that the • representative of the Chamber of. Commerce might be a member of the Chamber instead oiE the Chairman, as at present. He thought it was a mistake that a gentleman who devoted his time and attention to the matters connected with tho Board s business should have to retire at the end of a year, and give place to another gentle man who was wholly inexperienced In these matters. Why not, he asked, retain the services of the gentleman who had be come thoroughly accustomed to his work. i Mr 08. Htone; seconded the resolution, which was supported by Mr Mays. 'p ' :Mr McKenzie said that, whileagreeing with the motioD, he thought it did not go far vendugb. But they could not get a better Board than the present one, and the delegates were the best attendees. ■';:,;-;r*;.;,*'-/Leftsittihg.tA-1. «
