MR W. F. BUCKLAND AT OTAHUHU.

Mr,\V. F. BOCKLAND opened the eleo toral campaign in Franklin North, last night, by addressing tli a electors of Ota huhu in the Public Hall. The building was well filled, and much interest was evinced in the proceedings. On the motion of Mr Bainbridge, sec onded by Mr W. E. Wills, Mr Thos. Stringer was voted to the chair. As there was no newspaper forthcoming from which to read the usual notification of meeting, the Chairman simply called upon the candidate to Open his speech. Mr Bucklaud was received with a round of applause, lie commenced by giving his reasons for announcing himself as a candi date for the district. Ho said that being dissatisfied with the representa tion ot the constituency in Parliament, he had taken the trouble of enquiring whether or not Messrs Hamlin and Harris were to be opposed, and, seeing that there was no inclination to disturb them, he had come forward himself for that purpose. The settlers had sent down to Wellington mere adventurers, who, to use a colloquial ex pression, had oot a shilling to jingle upon a tombstone, Oq the eve of the last election he had a large speculation in contemplation, and gave it over simply on account of the nien who were returned. The settlers re quired to send to Parliament practical men who would attend zealously to their interests, instead of those who would make them stepping stones to their own ambition. He had been placed at the bottom of the poll on the occasion of, the last election, and lie had now come forward to wipe out that defeat; if he did not succeed it would not deter him from coming forward again. This was the country in which his all was staked, he bad for many years past employed labour largely, and he thought it rather hard that he could not get into Parliament now, when he so earnestly desired to do so. (Laughter.) He felt that he had greater claims to their. confidence . and consideration than the men who stood before them with honour .on their lips, but perfidy in their hearts. The speaker then proceeded to criticise Major Harris' action during the last session of Parliament. Since the last election, nearly all the then burning measures had become law, and among them the Triennial Parliaments Bill. During its passage through Parliament, two attempts were made to extend the duration of Parliaments to foiir years, and on both Occasions Major Harris bad voted for the alteration, aad Mr Hamlin once. He ap proved of manhood suffrage in its present form, but objected tp the American form of it, It would be an iujustice to take away tbe freehold vote, for the large property owner would, under such circumstances, be no better, nor have any greater voice in the Government of the country than the meanest of his numerous servants. The Property Vote had been reduced to £25, but, in his opinion, the qualification should not be lower than £100. He would also support a leasehold vote. With regard to the Representation Bill, he had formerly declared his determined hostility to it, and bis feeling in that respect had not changed, as the effect of it would be to do an injus tice to this part of the colony. Although Sir Geo. Grey had previously been in favour of this measure, he (Mr Buckland) had de clared that he would yet be found fighting against it, and this prediction had actually been verified during tbe last session. Sir George Grey had recently said that be could see nothing but disaster as tbe result of this Bill, but of course Sir George Grey could see nothing but disaster in anything that did not tend to place him at the head of uffairs. . The majority of the population resided iv the towns, and by flattering the townspeople that gentleman hoped to gain his ends. At the last elections the Frank lin people had virtually been disfranchised by accepting as members the nominees of the people of the city, but he hoped that that would never occur again. Talk as one might, they could pot expect to get liberal principles out of a small-minded man, but out or a man of generons mind. If Sir George Grey or any of his myrmidons came out there to again diiturb the election, and to enlarge upon spring-guns, man-traps, and other relics of an imperfect civilisation, he would himself bring out more re)t:s than they bargained for. Civilisation was now advancing by rapid strides, and the ulti mate solution of the labour difficulty' appeared to be co-operation, and it was, besides, the surest antidote to that doctrine of communism, which Sir George Grey seemed to be preaching throughout the country. Sir George had also a very puzzling way of talking about plural vot ing, by omitting to distinguish between electoral voting and highway board voting, and he (the speaker) had actually come across people who had been delnded into tbe idea that there were some men in the country who exercised as many as 40 votes each. He did not believe in the principle of repre sentation according to population, but that a fixed proportion of members should be allotted to each island, and that the num ber should not be increased. _ The recent session was a most disappointing one. Scarcely a day's business bad been done, in consequence of the determined wrangle which bad gone on from day to day. In the case of any employes of bis own who did such a thing, he would have " sacked " them at once. (Applause.) He considered that the Government, with the object of demonstrating the relative productiveness and profitableness of various crops, should establish and carry on a model farm, so that the farmers would not be obliged to waste their substance in making

experiments, nor be compelled to rely upon a very few articles of agricultural pro duce. The towns at present were too large, and the country too sparsely populated, the result'being that the towns-people in a great measure lived upon their country neighbours. Farming industry should be encouraged by every feasible plan, and the commodities and goods which could not be produced or manufactured here should be admitted to the country free. With re;pect to Government land purchase, he had to say that he did not object to the principle, if the agents employed were smart and reliable man. In the past it had proved a disastrous failnre in consequence mainly of the slow to'es's of the official machinery, while the use of blank vouchers placed an enormous and nndesirable power in the bands of the Ministry of the day, besides fostering the growth of corruption. If the Government could not buy native land properly, they 'should allow free trade in it under judicious restrictions. The abolition of distraining

tor debt, although styled a Liberal measure, was really a most illiberal one—quite as illiberal indeed as would be the deprivation ■of the right to sue for debt. The speaker then went on to deprecate the feeling which had been raised against the Piako Swamp ''Bpepulators by exaggerating facts and by conveniently forgetting the very great good they had done the surrounding district. Upon the subject of taxation he had a few words to say : We owed thirty millions sterling, and our revenue did not greatly rise above the margin of necessary expenditure, while the per manent charges upon the loans amounted to £1,570,000. We derived n sum of £1,345,000 from the Customs, and the cost of collecting it was £69,820, or 5 per cent., ■which was certainly not a high rate. From Stamps, however, we received only £150,000, and spent in its collection £22,395, or 15 per cent., which was far too high a rate. Our railways were commencing to pay at last; and so far as the Post-offices and Telegraphs Were concerned, the Income from them only fell short of the expenses by £1,650. Means should be taken, however, to make both ends meet. Our legislative machinery cost US £35,400 annually, and as no real work bad b 3 en done during the past two years that item had been a dead loss. £131,650 was yielded by depaßturinjr, which iepre -Bented the leanng of £3,000,000 acres of land in the South Island. He would oppose its sale, as the proceeds would be spent wholly in the South. Education drew from us every year the enormous amount ot £227,416, a higher proportion for such a purpose than obtained anywhere else in the world. Whilst he should always strive for a strictly secular educational system, he was at the .same time of opinion that the Government should only educate to a certain moderate point, ana that beyond that fees should be charged. The system was in no danger oi beißg capsized by him, but he considered that the Government did now far mare than was necessary. Tne Volunteer vote should "be dispensed with altogether, for we had simply been playing at soldiers. There should be a combined Property, Income, and Land Tax, our army of civil servants should be still further reduced and retrenchment ought to be applied to every department. With respect to land purchase, he con sidered the results very disappointing. Ihe sum neeived for land last year _ was £299,166, but the costs were £266,793, so that all the countiy got out of these large figures was a paltry £32,000. If the lands had been in thehands of private individuals, £100,000 at least would have been realised. The Land Tax should be an acreage tax, the land fieiDg properly classified, and un occupied estates granted no exemption •whatever. At present, however, there was too great a. disposition to tax the country

for the benefit, of thetowns f He was in favour of doing away with anything ap. proaching to the laws of .entail and primo geniture, and in that way: a:most effective means would bo presented of counteracting the undesirable tendency to land monopoly; Ho waa opposed to elective judges, md al?o to the State being made the sole free holder, In regard to Local Goveruiuent,he thought that we had not got what we wanted, and in this respect he would be willing to represent the " views of • the majority .of his constituents. After explain, ing the Ministerial Local Government pro posals and indicating some of their defects, Mr Buckland passed on to say that he would oppose Sir George-Grey's system and any return to provincialism likewise, but iv the whole matter he would be largely guided by his constituents. Ho would also en deavour to work with the other members of the province for the general good. He had honesty of purpose and an earnest desire to advance' the interests of the electorate and the country at large, and instead of taking the people to the brink of a dark hole and telling them to gaze upon tne horrors of the past, he would lead them to a brighter future. (Applause.) Iv answer to questions from Mr Hogan and Mr Andrews, Mr Buckland said that he would favour the trial of the turbulent Maoris on the Weat Coast, would advocate the Upper House being made elective to men of education and property, and of money being borrowed for the construction of railways in preference to the allocation of land for tbe purpose. as one who was not a supporter of Mr Buckland, Mr Wills proposed a vote of thanks to him. He admired his pluck in coming forward so often, but particularly the splendid organisation of his party, which allowed only one candidate to con test the seat, while the Liberals had three men to ride their horse to death. He ob jected, however, to Mr Buckland'a plat form.

Mr O. McGee requested Mr Wills, for the benefit of the ignorant and benighted, to state the grounds upon which he objected to the candidate's platform. A dog fight'here commenced in tbe body of the hall,and interrupted the proceeding?, the audience rising en masse to watch its progress. _ Mr Wills then explained his views, and was followed by Mr McGoe, who seconded the motion, and praised tbe candidate while announcing that he might contest the seat himself.

Mr Bainbridge proposed, and Mr Andrews seconded a vote of confidence in Mr Buck land. Mr Andrews expressed himself in favour ot a change of blood in Parliament, and as determinedly opposed to a return of the Grey regime. Tbe amendment was carried against three dissentients, about half the audience, how ever, refraining from voting either way. Mr Buckland briefly returned thanks, and, with the customary acknowledgment to the Chairman, the meeting terminated.

A UCKLAND PRESBYTERY.

The Presbytery met this morning in St. Andrew's Church. There were present :— Revs. T. Norrie (Moderator), R. Soramer villc (Clerk), R. F. Macnicol, A. Carries, G. B. Monro, McKenzie Fraser, D. AY. Runciman, J. McKinney, A. Thompson, T. W. Dunn, J. Macky, Mclntosh, D. Bruee, James Bruce. P. Masorj, Macrae.

Religious Instruction of the Young.—Rev. D. W, Ranciman moved— " That a Committee of Presbytery be "ap pointed for the following purposes, viz, :— (1) To ascertain to what extent efforts are now being made in the several parishes within the bounds of the Presbytery to communicate religious instruction to the young on week days. (2) To consider how this duty may be most efficiently dis charged. (3) To prepare a full report on the subject to be submitted to tho Presby tery at its first meeting in 1882." Ho said it was a source of gratification to him that the motion of which he had given notice relating to the religious instruction of the youug oq week days was agreed to in Ma absence at the meeting ot Presbytery in June last) It appeared to him that it might be an advantage to have a Com mittee of Presbytery to enquire thoroughly into this subject, and to prepare an ex haustive report. As he took a consider able interest in the proposal, he would not grudge taking upon himself,if invited to do so by the brethren, a considerable, portion of the work implied by the proposal. He would have been glad if the views which he ventured to advocate in the Presbyterian " .News " for July had been met with the approval oE his brethren, but as he bad no expressions of sympathy from any of them, ho would not press them. He suggested as a committee—Revs Jtt. F. Macnicol, A. Carrick, Mr T. Peacock, and himself as convener.— Roy Mr McKinaey seconded tho motion t but was satisfied that any action the Presbytery"was capable of taking in the direction indicated would not be sufficient to meet the requirements, as they could only reach a small fraction of the schools. All the weight of the Church should be thrown into the movement for having the Bible read in, schools. The proper way of imparting this instruction was in tho school through the teachers. The newspapers, by the treatment of the ques tion, had done more harm to the movement for the reading of the Bible in schools than any other organisation in the country. Their own church had stated ipse facto that they did not want such instruction by the teachers, and had in fact opposed the movement whenever the matter was intro duced.—Rev. J. Macky said, although Mr McKinney's remarks were very good, they were hardly to the purpose of the motion. He thought it might be passed.— Mr Runciman thought the Auckland news papers were first-rate newspapers, and con sequently he did not agree with Mr Mc- Kinney's opinion regarding them. He, however, did agree witn him in reference to religious education io schools, and only differed with him bo far that he would rather, have the tussle with the Government on the subject take place twelve months hence in stead of now. —Rev. D. Bruce, speaking on the subject, said the teachers were the proper persons to impart such instruction, and it was a libel upon them to join in the cry raised that they were not capable for the work.—The motion was then put and carried unanimously. Dutjles of Elders.—Rev. D. W. Run ciman moved the following motion standing io. his name :—" Whereas it is desirable that the duties of those who hold office in the church should be clearly defined ; and whereas the practice of the several branches of the Presbyterian Church is not uniform as to the duties which ruling elders are expected to discharge; and whereas it has been found that differences of opinion on this subject have led to inconvenience ; it is humbly overtured to the ensuing General Assembly to take the premises into con sideration with a view to devise a convenient remedy." He thought a more precise defini tion of the duties of ruling elder would have been advantageeu3 to their interests.: What he would like to see made clear more particularly were these points :-(l) That the session, is res pon3ible to the superior Courts of the Church for the uses to which any ecclesiastical building may be applied. (2) That the management of our Sunday schools is vested neither in the Sunday school teachers nor in the session, but in the ministers of our several congregations. Considerable discussion took place on the subiect.—Mr Kunciman expreased himself in favour of the Commltteemen being called Deacons, and having a seat at the Presbytery. He would modify his motion so as to include all the oflice-bearers of the Church.—The motion, in its amended form, wa3 then put and carried uuani mously. ■ „, POKKKOHK AMD POKENO. — The Moderator reported that he had preached at Pukebohe West and three adjacent charges, and declared the Pukekohe and Pokeno charge vacant. Examination Report.—lt was decided to take | the report of the Examining Board in priva'e _, _, Scale of Remuneration.—The Com mittee appointed anent the remuneration to be paid to ministers and others giving occasional supply reported in favour of the following scale :-(l) For ministers and probationers: For charges able to pay minimum stipend (£200), £2! per Sunday (2) £1 per Sunday for every additwnal £100 of stipend. Lay preachers to receive one half oPf the above allowance. All travelling expenses to be paid in addition.-lhe re the position, some of the members being under the impression that he had not taken "he position.-The matter w*sadjourned till Mr Brno's arrival. When it was re-introduced, he . said the Presby terv had no option but to malse he collection, a5 the Assembly had appointed it. Whether the money would gS P to him would be for the Assembly Jo determine. It was understood that; tfie collection be made, acd the fact w»3 duiy intimated,

Resignation.—Rev. B. F. Macnicol read the resignation. of Mr Smcaton as, a student; of the church, owing to increasing imperfect utterance, — Rev. J. Macky moved,, and Rev. Mr Mclntosh seconded, that the resignation ( be accepted, withan expression of deep regret at the cause which led to it—Agreqd to. MaungakarambA and Mangapai.— Rev. Mr Mclntosh drew attention to the fact that the Btudent who had attended to the spiritual, wants of these important charges had been removed to Tauranga. It would be a matter of regret that tno people there should, be neglected, and he might say that they had premised orally to raise £70 per annum. Rev. D. Bruce suggested that Mr Jameß Corruth be asked to undertake the charge, and moved to that effect. He was highly qualified for the work.—Mr Rnnciman sug. gested that Mr Carruth be requested to be come a licentiate of the Church, and prose cute his studies accordingly for the office of the ministiy.— This suggestion was em bodied iv the resolution, which was put and carried unanimously. KAWAKAAVA.—The Moderator reported that Mr David Norrie had written from Kawakawa asking who had the charge of his district. He had no one to visit him.— Rev. Mr Mclntouh was appointed to have the pastoral supervision ot Kawakawa and Mongonui. SustentAtion Schemb.—On the motion of Her. J. Macky, seconded by Rev. Mr McKinney, it was resolved that the clerk bol instructed to forward a list of previous assessments for this fund.

Waiukct Manse.—Rbv. A. Thompson subm.tted the plans of a manse at Waiuku, to cost £200. They had about £150, with [ the Presbytery's grant of £50, and all the subscriptions were not' iv. The plans, which had beent prepared by Mr Thompson, were approved of.— Key. D. Bruce said it was a strange tiling that the Presbytery had disposed of all the available Manse Fund when he had become security for the debt on the manse at Coromandel. Ho be lieved that £50 had been granted to Waiuku. Revs. MacDicol, Bruce, Sommer ville, and Runciman were appointed to bring up a report on this subject at the next meeting. Pkesbytertai. Visitation.—lt was agreed that the Presbyterial Visitation to Utahuhu congregation should take place this day four weeks (November 2nd) at 7 p.m. Church Management Bill. —Mr Thompson asked it the bill in reference to the management of Church property had passed the House of Representatives.—The clerk said it had not.—Mr Thompson drew attention to the manner iv which the build iug at Poliok was mismanaged by the trustees.

Foreign Missions.—lt was announced that the collection for the Foreign Missions would be taken up on the first Sunday in December.

Mr Dunn.—lt was also stated that Mr T. W. Dunn had successfully passed his examinations, and he was accordingly admitted as a Licentiate of the Cnurch by the Moderator.

The meeting then adjourned,

THIS DAY*

His Honor took his seat at ten o'clock,

Rape.—Laurence Hayes surrendered his bail, and was arraigned upon an indict ment charging him with having committed a rape on the person of Margaret Gordon on the 9th September at Hamilton.—Prisoner pleaded not guilty.—Mr Hudson William son, Crotvn Solicitor, opened the ease to the jury, and MrE. Heakoth appeared for the prisoner.—Margaret Hamilton deposed that she was a marued woman ; prisoner came to her house on the 9th Sept at a quarter to eight in the evening j the was sitting alone in her room, sewing; he came and 3at beside her; he was in the habit of calling; told him to go home, he was too free; a dog barked and she got up and weut to the front door; prisoner followed her and caught her round the waist, and forced her into her bedroom ; she had a red dresa on ; it was very much torn in the struggle; she violently resisted his efforts; he succeeded in violating her _ (assault minutely described); was in the room fully half -an • hour. There was no one besides in the house. She cried very much. It was on Friday evening. She cried very much. Her husband returned oo Saturday evening. Her eyes were swollen by crying. Her husband asked what was the matter. She said something had happened, but she could not tell him then. She told her husband on Sunday morning, and in the evening she went with her husband to the police and laid the information against the prisoner.— To Mr Hesketh; she was in the front room sewing, he came to the back door ; hearing the turning ot the handle she went to see who was there; it was the prisoner ; had a candle in her hand, he came in and sat down ; buc was without lodgers at the time; had known Hayea about eeven months; knew him at Hamilton, where she left Swarbrick's, she and her husband called upon prisoner; her" husband and prisoner were friend's ; Hayes often came to see her husband ; thought him too free, and desired him not to come again; he would joke a good deal, would make improper remarks which she did not care about. On one occasion before, he tried to take liberties with her, and she threw a basin of water over him. This was about three weeks before he assaulted her. He told her he was only having a little fun—just trying her temper. He was a neighbour, and she did not think there was any badness in him. He was a married man To His Honor: She always regarded the prisoner as a respectable man. —To Mr Hesketh: Prisoner had lent her two shillings. He called on the Tuesday previously, and told her husband ot a place. He went on the Wednesday and got it. He was on very friendly terms with her husband. She was exhausted in the struggle with prisoner. Did not swoon away. Did not inform any female neigh bonrs. Preferred keeping her tronble to hereelf. She cried it out. Persuaded her husband to confer with Hayes, and treat him as lightly as possible, as he was a married man. Her husband said if she did not go on with the case he would leave her. She then said, "Do as you like." Prisoner knocked her down, and held her down with his arm across her chest. She was ex amined at Hamilton by Mr Hay. He put very bad questions to her. Might have told him to come down and see how prisoner did it. She had been married three years. She knew a man named Greaves and bis mother; she ought to know Greaves; he was a lodger and went away without pay ing ; he did not sleep in the same bai with her and her husband, because it was too cold. She stayed with her husband a week at the Duke of Cambridge Hotel before they procured a house. She might know a shoe maker named John Paul; a man of that name stayed in McVeigh's cottage,when she was there",but only for one night; he asked for a shakedown ; he was a stranger to her; she had proceeded once against her husband for support; she had been before the Police Court twice for taking a drop too much ; her husband never left her for being too familiar with men.—To Mr William. son : She and her hußband were stopping at the Blae Post Dining-rooms. Paul, Hayes, and another man came in to dinner; they spoke to her husband, and she took part in the conservation; Paul, on learning who she was, asked her business; she told him she had a case against Hayes; Paul said he was on the same case, but he did not know who he was going against. John Greavt 8 said, at Hamilton, that he was prepared to give her a good character; but she thought such evidence would not be required ; did not consent to bring him down ; he was de sirous of getting down, he said, as he owed about £200 in Hamilton, and would take ship and clear out; he had been a sailor.— John Gordon deposed that he was a labourer, living at Hamilton East; the last witness waa his wife; prisoner was a near neighbour; he told him where to get work.
