FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 25, 1881.

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

Owing to pressure upon our space to-day with the Hero's news and local reports, we are compelled to exclude leading matter.

With reference to our remarks yesterday upon the changes made in the Stamp Act, we may explain that postage stamps are not available for payment of duty on any deed under the Stamp Duties Act, 1875, except receipts. But the Commissioner of Stamps will recognise any kind of stamps (except under the Beer Duties Act) in payment of fees] under the Lands Transfer, Deeds Registry, or Law Courts. The penny postage stamp may be used for receipts.

A public meeting will be held in the Mount Albert Public Hall to-morrow (Saturday) evening, to oppose the granting of an hotel license in that district It is stated that nine-tenths of the residents are strongly opposed to a license being granted, and that there will be a strong expression of opinion on the subject. The new Act, it appears, is not yet in force, the Govern ment having neglected, as yet, to define districts.

Tho conditions of the Government prize firing for tho volunteer corps for the year 1881 were gazetted yesterday.

Mr Robert Keilly Ealph haa been elected representative for the Rangiriri outlying district in the Waikato County Council.

Mr F. Digby, secretary of tho Canterbury Jockey Club, has resigned owing to ill health.

Tawhiao has settled the dispute between the natives and Messrs Grice and Walker relative to the Eotorangi run.

Persons having any information that will throw light upon the recent bnrglaries, should place their knowledge at the dis posal of the police.

A Gazette proclamation notifies the ap pointment of Mr Thcophilus Kissling as Deputy Commissioner of Stamps and Registrar of Joint Stock Companies at Auckland.

Among the passengers who arrived from Sydney to-day were Captain John McKay, late master of the s.s. Southern Cross, and Captain Norris, master of the ill-fated barque Glimpac, which was recently lost oil the Australian coast.

It is probable that the liability of the Government for cattle killed on unfenced sections ot tho railway will be tetsed shortly in tho Law Courts. We think that at points where there is special risk of cattlo straying on the railway the lines should be fenced.

A soiree and concert in connection with the Otahuhu Roman Catholic Church is an nounced to be held on Tuosday evening next. An excellent tea will be providod, and in addition to tho local talent for the concert several ladies and gentlemen of well known ability from Auckland have pro mised their assistance.

The manufacture of hop beer on an ex tensive scale has been commenced by Mr Alexander Edgar, New North Koad. A samplo of the beverngo has been left at our office, and it appears to be a refreshing and agreeable summer drink, which should find a ready sale during the approaching warm weather. No hurtful ingredients aro u»ed in its manufacture, and this fact alono is a strong recommendation.

The annual mission service in connection with the Wesloyan Sunday-schools takes place on Sunday next in thu Pitt-street Church, instead of in tho Choral Kail or Theatro Koyal as hitherto. Xho church la almost as commodious as tho other build ings, is moro centrally situated for the pur poses of such a denominational gathering, and oflors greater facilities for an offectivo performance of tho musical selections by tho uso of the organ. Tho service will doubt less bo very numerously attended.

A serious accident happened at tho new Catholic Church, East-street, Newton, on Wednesday afternoon. Ono of tho carpen ters mimed Daniel MoGinty was engaged on the roof fastening bolts, when ho shipped on the shingles which had been rendered very slippery by a shower of rain, and foil to tho ground, a distance of about sixteen feet. Ho was taken to the Hospital, where it was ascertained that both his wrists and his right ankle were dislocated, while ho had fu-tiiued a cut about an in and a-hplf in length over the right eye. McGinty ia doing very well in the Hospital.

Several cases against publicans,for evasion of thn beer duty, were heard at the Kesi dent Magistrates' Court, Hamilton, yester day, before Captain Jackson and Mr John ftnox, and in one instance substantial penaltieii were imposed upon the offender. This was the local brewer, Mr \V. dimming, against whom two informations had been laid, viz., one in respect of two unstamped casks of beer, which had boon delivered at Kihikihi, and the other for four unstamped casks which had been seized ia the cellar of tho Royal Hotel. Mr O'Nell appeared for tho prosecution, and Mr Hay tor the defence. Tho defen dant admitted the charges, but in tho firat caso pleaded as extenuating circumstances his absence in Auckland at the time aud the carelessness of his scrtant. lie was fined £40 and costs in the first, and £80 and costs in the second case. For receiving tho four unstamped casks of beer, Mr Field, licensee of tha Royal Hotel, was amerced in a fine of 28s and costs, while Mr Camp, of tho Tnmahero Hotel, was sub jected to a nominal fine of Is and costs for receiving two unstamped casks, it being shown that they wero stamped when they lett Brown, Campbell, and Co.'s brewery. The annual soiree of the Graf ton Koui .Sunday-school was held last evening) but owing to the very inclement weather, the attendance was below expectations. Those who hold tickets aro invited to be present at the children's tea-meeting this evening. Mr T. McMaster presided at the public meeting, and called upon Mr Gatland, secretary,* to read the annual re port, from which it appeared that the morning school had an average at tendance of between 30 and 40; afternoon, average from 100 to 110 j names on the roll, 169, with a staff of 21 teachers. There was also a Band of Hope in connection with the school, with 70 names on tho roll, and a library of 600 volumes. After paying all expenses there was a credit balance of over £3. Addresses were then delivered by Rev. Mr Salter on " Incentives to Earnest ness on the part of Sunday-school teachers," Rev. Mr Watkin on "Aspiration," and Key. Mr Spence on "The Teacher's In. fluence." A vote of thanks to all the workers ia connection with the soiree brought the proceedings to a close. The members of St. Andrew's Mutual Improvement Class met last evening in the school-room, but owing to the wet weather and other circumstances the attendance was not large. The question for discussion was the opening of Museums on Sundays, and the openera were fully prepared for the debate, but as some of the best speakers were obliged to leave, it was moved and carried unanimously that the question be deferred until next session. The annual business meeting for amending several of the rules and the election of officers will be hold on Thursday evening next. The annual report and financial statement for the year will also be submitted to members and visitors. The secretary hoped that all members would be in attendance at the forthcoming meeting, as matters of importance will be brought in relation to necessary changes in the constitution of the society. It was finally decided to hold the projected social gathering in the Lome-street Hall on Fri day evening, the 9th ultimo, for which tickets have been issued. The programme will be of more than ordinary interest, con sisting of choruses by the choir of St, Andrew's Presbyterian Church, ballads, duets, and instrumental performances, one or two readings by members, an original prologue, and a now farce; particulars of which wi]l be drily announced in future issues of this journal. A concert in aid of the organ fund of the Anglican Church of St. John the Baptist took place last evening in the Northcoto Hall, was very fairly attended, and passed off satisfactorily. The ladies and gentle men who had promised their services were residents of the city and Devonport, and despite the highly inclement state of the weather they kept faith with the promoters of the affair, The Rev, J. Bates opened the proceedings with a brief address, and then the programme was attacked. The variouß items in it were gone through .with spirit and promptitude. Songs were contributed by Misses Cant, Sykes, Jackson, and Culpan, and Messrs Forth, Blaydes, and Culpan, and duets were ren dered by Misses Sykes and Jackson, and the Misses Duder, while an overture on the pianoforte by_ Mr Slater, and several con certed selections of vocal music, served to diversify the entertainment. The songs of Misses Sykes and Jackson, and Messrs Blaydes and Culpan ware especially good. At tne close, Mr Mayhew took the opportu nity to thank the performers on behalf of the Organ Committee for tho cervices which tney had co cheerfully given. A quadrille party succeeded the concert, and dancing was engaged in very heartily until mid night, when the visitors took their depar. ture,

In the paragraph, yesterday, referring to Mr Carter's letter on rock-boring at Kamo, the sontense, " tho drill was capable of bor ing through the hardest rock known to a depth of 150 feet," should have read a depth of 1500 feet.

Messrs John Sheohan, Mclvor (Analytical Chemist), Manson (Waltham Watch Com pany), and James Buttus paid a visit of inspection to the Hospital yesterday. They expressed themselves highly pleased with the institution, and Mr Mclvor said tho wards compared favourably with those in Melbourne.

PARIHAKA NEWS.

;from our special reporter.]

PUNGAREHU, this day. There is nothing ot note to report. Rata, from Oakura, returned to-day, and asked for a pass to go to Parihaka to bring away his buggy. This appears a beginning, and others will probably settle to the inevitable, and return to their old habits. Still there is a certain amount of uncertainty as to tho ultimate result of the policy, Upon the occasion of searching Motu's pah he said tho Government had better kill him at once, whereas another said they would all turn sailors, as they could not live on the land. But in a short time, when tho feeling has settled down, the effect upon the natives will be more ap parent.

TOUR OF THE DISTRICTB WHERE THE NATIVES ARE SETTLED. Under nstructions, your correspondent leaven Paribaka, and w ill pass through dis tricts where the natives are reported te be located. On leaving the camp I hare but to say that great difficulty was experienced in getting tho ordinary information for which the public have a right to look. From tho Native Minister I received information when requested, but with one other excep tion "don't know" was the watchword. From the Volunteers, who were not mystery men, nows that would be of interest to many was freely accorded, and the ordinary courtesy extended. In th'o Constabulary command the Hue was so tightly drawn that officers were debarred from even asking a newspaper correspondent into their mess. Tho omission of such a slight civility miyht pass unnoticed, but to be told that such a special bar existed discloses the absence of a vory general attribute amongst military men. SUDDEN PROMOTION.

A very desirable alteration has been made in tho commissions of the officers, whereby thoy arc now of right stylod Captain, although it is a sudden rise from Sergeant, or Sergeant- Major, to Captain, thus passing over Lieutenants of long standing in tho volun teer forces. Mr Wilson Hursthouso, C.E., is gazetted Captain in the Militia. This doubtleta gives authority when working with troops. A similar oommisgion is very necessary to the defence storekeeper, Mrs. C. Anderson, aa from personal observation I havo noted tho advisability of such nstep. Ho nan, as usual, carried out everything to the satisfaction of all concerned,

MR MACKAY'S ADDRESS AT COROMANDEL.

A LARGELY attended meeting was hold on Saturday night in the Lower Township schoolroom to hear Mr James Mackay, one of the candidates seeking election to the House of Representatives.

On the motion o* Mr G. McLeod, Dr, Hovell was voted to the chair. In complying with this resolution, Dr. Hovell said he had many times [had the proud privilege of occupying the chair at their public meetings, and always found the speaker was accorded a fair hearing, no matter what were his shades of opinion. He called on Mr Moskay to address them. Mr Mackay was received with cheers, He said: Gentlemen,—l may be accused by some of having issued a presumptuous notice. I refer to the one published previous to calling this meeting, which states that my " inti mate acquaintance with the requirements of your district induced me to offer myself for election as your representative." The reason I presume to state this is, that (though I speak egotistically, excuse me) I look on myself as being intimately associated with the very existence of this "oldfield, which is now about to return a member. (Applause.) I intend to go into matters under three headings. Ist. Personal grounds : Why I offer my self as a candidate for election. 2nd, The general policy of this colony and Government administration. 3rd. On the affairs of yourselves, locally considered. . , On an occasion such as this it is but to be expected that a candidate speaks tor him self. On other occasions his acts speak. When addressing tho electors of an en lightened constituency a candidate has to show fully why ho comes before the elec tors to solicit their suffrages, and I will therefore proceed to show what I have done, or attempted to do, during my career in New Zealand. I am an old politician as well as an old colonist many here know. I arrived in this country on the 26th January, 1845. I was for 14 years from that time taking an active part in public affairs, and have since 1857 been continuously engaged either in cold-mining pursuits or in conducting the affairs of the goldfield. (Loud cheers.) 1 stand before you as the first man who held a Warden's commission in this colony. I was appointed Warden at Collingwood before the Otago fields were declared open. I was next on tho Wcat Coast for a con siderable time, and was the purchaser for Government of the Hokitika goldiield. I bought 7i millions of land on the West Coast for £300, and when that purchase was completed Gover nor Brown said to mo, "Go b»ck, sir, and make proper tribal reserves." I was re moved tothis district in 1867, the natives at that time beiiig in rebellion, and 1 came here as the natives afterwards said, "At the edge of the tomahawk and at the mouth of the double-barrelled gun." One of the Ministers, however, remarked, "What does that fellow Mackay know about the Datives?" Well, this is what I did. What ever I knew, I got the natives to surrender their arms and to give up all opposition to the Government j and for the truth of what I now say I have only to refer you to Blue Book No. 79, al7, pll; you will there find full reports on these matters. While staying at the Thames I felt cer tain, from what I had seen at Shortland that there was a payable goldfield at the Thames, and I stated so. At that time I was Native Secretary, and did not know I was going to be removed here by Sir George Grey, but after I had taken 178 stand of arms, and rendered other services to the Government, Sir George Grey said, " I am going to keep you in the North Island,"and 1 said it should be the duty of any officer appointed to open this district as a goldfield. True, I was a paid officer of the Government, but it is not every officer of the Government getting a salary who under takes the solution of difficult questions. I used all possible influence to get natives to allow the field to be opened, but there was, for a long time, the most determined re sistance. Natives of the district were very_ difficult to deal with. There were the Pai Marires goirig about, and there were 500 other natives gum-digging on the land, and all were opposed to the proposal to epen these lands. At last I persuaded them to allow prospecting to be done on a very small portion of the district, and the late John Williamson, then Superintendent of the Province, came down. Prospecting went 00, and some natives from Collingwood made an important discovery near the Karaka Creek, and I went from Auckland with Dr Pollen and opened a small section of country as a goldfield.extending only from Kaweranga Creek to a line near Waiotahi, and after that was accomplished I kept on, through good report and through bad re port, until tho entire district was thrown open as a goldfield, from Cape Colville through to Te Aroha (loud cheers). Per haps some of you remember the row at Grahamstown, when the diggers were in a tumult,and said : D—that fellow Mackay, why does he not open Ohinemnri? Theto were others who assisted me in these matters. Ido not want all the credit,,but 1 am merely giving you a narrative of facts, because I recently overheard people say, who is this Mackay ? What has he done ? What are his claims on ns ? What interest has he got in this district t I reply to the latter, no interest, gentlemen, but I have a great pride in it [applause). I have as great a right to come forward to represent a digging community as any man in New Zealand, I have j (as I said before) been a continuous supporter of mining since 1857, when L first became connected with goldfield matters. I was Warden of Collingwood in 1858 under Government authority; was Warden of the Thames, and also on the West Coast, and I challenge anyone to defy the justice of my decision as against those of any Warden or R.M. in New Zealand. (Great cheering.) Where is the man who can say I ever took a bribe? When was I accused of favouring the rich or of not doing justice to the poor? (Applause.) lam no res pecter of persons. I consider all man should have free and equal rights; that no man should be placed under any civil or religious ban in this free and enlightened country. (Applause.) Ido not mean by this that men should be equal in any communis tic sense. I know there are men who will in the race of life always outstrip their fellows, If you all started to run out of this build ing some would, of course, be first. If a number of men started business, each with £100, those with tact and judgment would Bucceed best, distancing those of lesser ability and foresight. Some men were endowed with great constructive abilities,and take a fore most position in mechanical and engineering pursuits, so that, viewed In its practical aspect, all could not be equal as regards position. The ranks of lite will necessarily be varied, but what he contended for was equal rights politically—equal rights in voting for a representative for Parliament, and that no man should have greater voting power than another. (Cheers.) QUESTION OF REPRESENTATION.

The question of representation, t tako it, means that all portions of the country, be they rich or poor, shall be equally represented in the Assembly. The Representation Act is a disgrace to the colony and to the Parliament that passed it, and I say this feailessly, though a Middle Island man, ihat the Act is a aiiame and a disgrace to those who passed it. (Cheers). Three-fifths of the voting power in the House was now secured to the South, giving to the -North Island only two-fifths. This was not being fairly dealt with I I should propose as a more equitable ar rangement, that there should be 40 mem bers for each Island, giving the South 39 Europeans and one Maori,and the North 37 Europeans and three Maoris. We should then have fair representation. If1 returned to the House I will endeavour to get the Act repealed, and to get justice done in this most important matter, and to obtain for the North Island those political rights which alone are required. to make it that great and prosperous country it is destined to become when it gets fair play; and further, thatunlefsstheirjustdoinnntls for the fair and reasonable representation of both Islands are complied with, I shall advocate' the North Island being brought under a separate government. ELECTORAL DISTRICTS.

The next important question is that of the division of the North island into electoral districts. The way in which Ministers per formed that work reflected no credit upon their geographical knowledge ot the country. They appear to have ignored all the indi vidual features of distinct localities, which by their community of interest should have been grouped together. If Ministers had caught a fly and tied it by the leg to an ink bottle, and after letting it crawl over the map, allowed its trail to determine the division of districts, tho result could not have been moro ridicnlons. (Laughter.) I know that you will understand that the dividing lines should be governed by mountain ranges and rivers, but these natural boundray lines have been altogether ignored in laying off North Island electoral districts. Waikato is brought within one mile of Tauranga, Tauranga within three miles of the Thames borough, and the Goro

mandel boundary, by taking in block 27, ig brought right alongside the Thames borough. Such an unfair division should not have taken place,. The big range of mountains that divide the Thames from Tauranga or Tauranga from Waikato should not be ignored. I might not know on which Minister had devolved the task of laying off these districts; it might be a minister residing in Auckland, bat I could not say, though I believe such wag done designedly to get the right men elected and obtain their support for Government, THE GENERAL ELECTION.

I am now going to say something on another subject coming within the scope oE the Representation Act. Many people object to the general elections for the House of Assembly coming off. on one and the same day, but 1 approve of the system because it gives more fully acd freely the voice of the people than was otherwise the case, as people could not so easily go about and exercise plurality of votes. I might be said to be speaking against the class of men to whom I belong, or as I perhaps should Bay, once did belong, but why, I ask, should rich men have plurality of votes more than others. They only pay Customs duties the same as you all. The argument here raised is that the rich man represents property. This is not any reason why he should have greater voice in the election of representatives thru;' any poor elector. (Cheers), To illustrate my meaning, we will suppose a Mr Brown to possess eight propflr ties within Municipalities, eight within Highway Boards, and eight within Coua. ties, lie is thus enabled to record 24 votes on behalf of the control of local matters directly affecting hig proprietary interest.' Should he also have a corresponding excess of votes over other electors in electing members for Parliament? Or does he not possess quite enough voting power when he can vote for 24 local bodies ? I should say to such, Sir, yon are only paying Cus toms duties-the same as any other man.and shall not be allowed to record more than one vote for the House of Representatives, You have sufficient property rights bj' your 24 votes, and can vote for eight Highway Boards, eight County Councils, and eight municipalities. Gentlemen, I prefer to go into the House elected by the voice of the people ifl accordance with the good old English custom. (Cheers). UCENBINO ACT. •

I appears to me that the tendency of Parliament ia becoming rather despotic, and jus evidence of this, would mention the • I "censing Act. I have read it through very carefully, I have been Licensing Com missioner, and Resident Magistrate, grant ing licenses, but have never had reason to think that publicans were very different to the average inhabitant of the; colony thay had their weaknesses and frailties in the same manner as others had, but there were good as well as bad among them. If the Act was carried out in its.entirety it would be treating publican; as if they were criminals, Why not give a man three years' penal servitude at once, and bo make him in accord with the spirit of the Act! I quite believe in public-bouses being under the surveillance of .the police, and that those men should be punished who violate the reasonable regulations which they are bound to submit to, but I do not believe ia treating publicans as if they were criminals, I have had to administer various Licensing Acts since 1858, and never favoured a pnbli can, but always believed in giving him fair , play, which he cannot get under this Act, I do not say all clauses are bad, but if the Act in its entirety be carried out it will ruin every publican and shut up every licensed house. Ido not approve of such extreme legislation, as men cannot be made, moral by Act ct Parliament, though much might be done by educating people to the proper standard. I might relate, as lihowmg how people's sentiments undergo change, that I was at dinner with Sir W. Fox many years ago. He (then Mr Fox, agent for the N,Z. Land Company) had a servant named Hill, who laid dinner, but would not place any liquors on the table, being, as his master stated, an extreme total abstainer. Mr Fox laughed at the man's absurd teetotal notions, but had since followed in the same path.

THE LAND. The question of the lands of the colony had given rise to great contentions. Many people favoured the Crown resuming tha pre-emptive right, but others said: No; let the Crown retain all lands now in its I possession, and lease the same to the public. Others say, No ; we do Dot care about leasehold, we want freehold lands, and others say, Let there be free trade in New Zealand lands as under the treaty of Waitaugi in 1840. For my part,' lam not going to avoid this question, I have, as an officer of Government, bought native lands, and I have, when out j of Government service, bought from the natives, as a private agent. I believe it is better that- the (lands should be cut up in 1 small holdings suitable for families. What is the position of things in the Middle Island? You will remember Sir George I Grey refusing to grant renewals of the Pas toral Leases of .Canterbury. There are upwards of twelve million acrer; of land I held under such letsec, five million acres of I which are held fur agricultural purposes. Of the seven millions there is much ot it mountainous, the summits. of which are covered with snow. A great extent of the land was hilly, and only suitable for pas toral purposes. We would only like to see I those lands reserved which are not tit for I growing corn, or other agricultural purposes. I I approve of giving compensation to lease-1 holders for fencing and other substantial improvements, but would not have them I served as the people in the Highlands of Scotland were served years ago. (Cheers,) These Highlanders wers like the Maoris, living free, and under no restraint. They i hod their chiefs, but when the latter ob« tamed their Crown titles they took the 1 1 lands and sold them, and the old residents had to depart with their families; and over large tracts of country where men freely lived there is nothing now heard but the I bleating of sheep and the shooting'of i grouse. (Applauee.) Oar case in the High lands was different' to that of the Irish I .agitation, as we were free, and it was our 1 people who brought the evil upon us, while the Irish consider they are oppressed, and that the harm done them is by people who they think have no right to their land. 9 Still I think these evilsaie now being reme- ■ died, and things will yet be made right. If a man has a Crown grant, to land his rights I should not be liable to interference. •;

KNCODHAGEMENT OF LOCAIi INDUSIWES. 1 The question of the encouragement of local industries is an important one. Steps I should be taken to prevent colonists sending their hard-earned wealth out of the country. I I am not a Protectionist, but think that ' what we can get or produce ourselves within I the colony we ought to, even if at Borne slight sacrifice; and, though having to pay a little extra, should purchase such in pre- I fereoce to imported goods. In connection I with the carrying on of public works, there I has been great mismanagement in this res pect. Wo see at the Taranaki reclamation

IMPORTANT MINING CASE.

A OAse of interest to holders ofmininc shares has just been decided at Tauranga. Major 1 Swindley sued Mr John B. Kanderson for £100 damages sustained by the nonv delivery of fire shares in the Surprise | mine, Coromandel. It appeared, from the - evidence, that the shares bad been sold to plaintiff by a Mr Clark, acting, OB was alleged, agent for the defendant. In the beginning of August last Mr Clarko was spoken to by a miner named Shakespeare about selling the shares, and consequently called on Mr Kanderson, believing he had some connection with the ; mine. At this time Mr Handerson m had no such connection, though a day or two subsequently he was appointed secre- 1 tary pro. tern., and requested by Shakes peare and Ford to send five shares to Clark \ for sale. This was done, the price being hxed at £10 per share for the ten shares. Kauderson signed the letter as secretary pro. tern. Clark replied that Shakespeare had apparently given Eanderson to under-;f; stand that the writer was simply acting as , Shakespeare's agent, which was not the case. Clark also wrote to Shakespeare that fl he was not going to be Kanderson'a jackal. If he sold the shares he would send the money direct to the vendor. Clark sold tho shares on. August 31st to Swindley for £50,. signing the receipt as Ban- i dereon's agent, and the next d»y •: he received a telegram from Shakespeare taking the commission out of his hands and ordering a return of the full amount back ■ to the purchaser if any sales had been made. I Without obeying these instructions, Clark ; sent the cheque off lo BandersoD, which the latter at once returned. After soroefnrtber I correspondence, gold being struck in th« .*: meantime, Clark tendered tha cheque to g bwindley, but he refused to receive it. Tn'i ■ promoters of the company determined to 9 validate Clark's salts, and Kanderson sent H for the cheque. The cheque was returned, I but the shares having come down in ■ Value, plaintiff instructed the bank not to m . «,l I -.. . .
