PARLIAMENTARY.

[From oue Special Rkporter.]

WELLINGTON, this day, Ladies in the House.

IN the House to-day there was not a single occupant of the ladies' gallery, even the indefatigable Mrs Batkin, the mater of the House, who attends afternoon and even ing with, a regularity not exceeded by the Speaker himself, was u.issing from her ac customed seat. The ladies have been wonderfully attentive this session, remaining until a late hour at night. Several ladies have ticketed their seats to secure them permanently against intrusion, among theae being Mrs Whitaker (in Legislative gallery), Mesdames Hurst, shrimski, Feldwick, AUvvright, and "Wood, and most of whom attend assiduously lo listen to the eloquence of their respective spouses, aud familiarise themselves with the mysteries of politics. The counter attractions of the ball to-day, however, were too great for the milder excitements of the political arena, and no smile en couraged hon. members in their dreary labours. The Motise and the Ball. There were grave feara that the Kadicals of the House would thwart Mr Weston's well-intentioned efforts on behalf of the ladies. Mr Seddon was hard at work in the lobbies, wanting members who had business on the Order paper to resist the intrusion of fashion frivolites into the sage deliberations) of the representatives of the people, but Messrs Macandrew and Montgomery had been early pledged the other way, the promise being first secured that private membsrs' business which was deferred should bo placed before the Government business on Friday. Con sequently.when the House met, Mr Weston was iv his place, but Mr Seddon was absent, and Mr Weston having proposed his motion, and Mr Montgomery having secured the pledge for the transfer of busi ness on the paper, the motion to suspend the night's sitting was carried without demur. Citizens' Ball. The ball given last night to the officers of H.M.S, Nelson 'proved the most brilliant ever held in Wellington, there being 650 persbns present. Funds came in so well that though twenty leading Wellingtoniaus had guaranteed £zO each, if required, they will not be called on for sixpence. Gentle men's tickets were only 15s each. An Offending Mag.

Wellington has spiced itself on this ball, A new floor, at a cost of £250, has been laid in the large drill-shed, and the decora tions, refreshments, etc., will foet up to £600, which has already been guaranteed. The large supper-room was constructed wholly of beautiful evergreens. a pleasant little bower was specially pre pared for his Excellency's use. A number*of tars, on visiting the ball-room yesterday, made the horribls discovery that the Governors tower had been roofed With a Russian flag. A dszen of the sailors Immediately sprang alott and brought the obnoxious flag down, saluting it with re marks' that were spiced with language to which the affirmation in lieu of oaths might have been suitably applied. A star span gled banner was substituted for the dis mounted one.

The Ball was a brilliant success, and if there is no squabbling about the settlement Wellington may plume itself on the achieve ment.

Waikato Confiscated Lands Bill.

Mr Bryce's Waikato Confiscated Lands Bill provides that the period during which reserves of laud, may bo made by the Governor under the second section of " The Waikato Confiscated Lands Act, 1880," is hereby extended two years from the passing of this Act. Messrs Dargavillc and McDonald played a game of lawn tennis against two crack players of H.M.S. Nelson, resulting in a victory for the Auckland men. Wellington aftcrwaros played a match against two less skilled players of the Nelson, and the Wel lington men suffered an ignominious defeat. .Petition from Mrs Heaphy.

Mis Heaphy has a petition before the House; she prays that, as Major Heaphy did not live long enough to eDJoy his pensioo, she may receive the year's salary usually granted to officers who die in harness. The petition is not yet decided. Auekland-Taranatei Jiailivay. The opposition raised by Wellington members to the Taranaki route for trunk railway arises a fear that Auck-. land will seize the Taranaki and Wanganui trade, which Wellington hopes to take by means of a company's line, now com menced. Hawke's Bay members, of course, assist, because a line by; the other ronte would benefit the £aat Coast. If Wel lington representatives persist in obstruct ing what is undoubtedly the shortest, best, and most feasible line, and one that would settle tbo native difficulty, even Auckland members must join the existing Southern < combination to remove the Seat of Govern ment, and so end effectually Wellington's schemesjto sacrifice everything and every-1 body to Itß own agraudisement. The Coal Fields. The value of various coals in the colony was disenssed in the Legislative Council yesterday, on the motion fnr improvement 'of Westport harbour. The Westport colliery appeared to have wonderfully ardent cham pions in both Houses. Although Mr Hobbs' hint that the zeal for Westport was not altogether disinterested was received with indignant " Oh's," the >hole dealings of Government with that colliery are exceed, ingly suspicious.

Legislative Council.

Thursday. THB Legislative Council resumed at 2.30 p.m. NATIVE LAND COUB.T KEyUNUK AND BXPENDITUEK. Qn Mr Johnston's motion a return was ordered of the expenditure and revenue in connection with the Native Land Court for the last two years. PROORKSS OF MEASURES. The Sheriffs Act, 1858, Amendment Bill, (Mr Whitaker), and the Education Act, 1877, Amendment Bill (Dr Meszies), were read a first time. The Corrupt Practices Prevention Act, 1881, Amendment Bill was read a second time, and the Banks and Bankers Act Amendment Bill a third time. THB ROTORTJA LBASES. Mr P Buckley stated that the con ditions of the leases to he executed by the purchasers of Rotorua were tar more stringent than they had been led to believe from a book on the subject published by the Government. On his motion, a return was ordered of all locuments on the subject. THE WKSTPORT COAL QUESTIOH. Mr Holmes moved that this Council is of opinion that, iv order to utilise the exten sive deposits of steam and gas coal on the "West Coast of the Middle Island, it xs desirable that steps should be taken with out delay to complete the improvement of thcharbour ot Westport.so that ships of large tonnage may be able to take in fall cargoes for foreign ports, and proceed to sea without deloy. .

House of Representatives.

Thursday.

Mr Swanson had an easy task with the Auckland Harbour Board Empowering Bill. From the moment he advanced to the table to take charge of Bill, until.it had been passed clause by clause, reported to the House, read a third time, and finally passed, barely two minutes elapsed. Thus did the House endorse|Auckland's big dock enterprise, and grant the £150,C00 required for the purpose. The Utago Harbour Board Empowering Bill was the next order on the paper, but U was deferred for the re tarn of Mr Driver. A free fight among the Otago members is probable on the Bill, in which the management of Dunedin Har bour Board, and its queer financial posi tion, will receive some severe handling, AUCKLAHD GRAMMAR SCHOOL. Mr Peacock moved the second reading of the Auckland Grammar School Bill. Id doing so he said its first provision was to omit the term " College " in the name of the school. Formerly the institution had been affiliated to the university, but it was found chat this entailed work which was foreign to the purpose of a school which was chiefly for preparing for commercial and professional careers, and the Governors thought a title which was misleading ought not to be retained. He also explaiied the reasons for asking power to lease suburban lands for G6 years, the same as town lauds, and the improved revenue that would accrue from the board being able to l«t houses owned by them for a short term. Mr Tole seconded the motion. Mr Moss said that while not opposing the Bill he had seme Radical changes to propose in the constitution of the Board, ana asked if he would be in order in moving new clauses in committee. The Speaker gave an answer in the affirma tive. Mr Sheehan said that while he would support Mr Moss's proposals, they ought to be introduced in a separate Bill, and not tacked on to the Administrative Bill now before the House. The Bill was thon read a second time. THE CHINESE. The case of the Chinese, who were ar rested for playing fan tan in Wellington, was championed by Mr Levestam, of NelsoD, who oelievcd the police had token advan i tage of Johnny's ignorance of our laws to handcuff him and hold him in gaol illegally. The Colonial Secretary explained that the police had done so in order to identify their men.

Mr Kolleston said it was wrong for a mumber iv askiug a question to make in situations against an officer, tie had reason to believe that the gentleman re ferred to, if he was acting as an officer of the Government at that time, had been act ing improperly. He was unable to give the information asked for.

Mr Turnbull gave notice to ask whether the Native Minister will have E rioted in English and Maori a report of is interview with TeWhiti.

Te Wheoro gave notice ufa question re the diversion of reserves for Maori children at Taupiri and Te Awamutu, also re the right of counties to levy rates on the Maori lands, and proposals of the Government about the management of confiscated lands.

Mr Dick gave notice of the Judicial Bills drawn by the Commission; and Mr Seddon asked leave to introduce a Mem bers' Expenses Bill. In asking a question about the insurance of the Parliamentary library, Mr Turn bull said the books were valued at £17,000.

Mr Dick said the Government were their own insurers.

Mr Hobbs introduced his Maori Repre sentation Bill, increasing the number of Maori members to eight.

Reports of Petitions Committee on claims of Kennedy, North Shore; and John Lynch, of Coromandel, were brought up. In both cases the Committee declared the petitioners had no claim.

When Mr Hutchison asked leave to in troduce a Bill to " Repeal the Contagious Diseases Act, 18G9," one Otago member was conspicuous for the loudness of his "no." Leave was nevertheless granted.

AUCKLAND HARBOUR BOAKD BILL PASSED.

Mr Joyce said from a large experience of the Celestials, he quite appreciated the difficulty the police were hi, and thought Handcuffing, when they got hold of two men, was a judicious thing. Ultimately the production of papers was ordered. The motion by'Mr SMITH that the Honse go into Committee next Wednesday to con sider an address to the Governor, asking a vote of £6000 towards public libraries, was carried nem. con.

Various returns -were ordered, including one showing the borough indebtedness, and one by Mr Cadman for a return show ing the deductions from local subsidies for charitable aid. Also a return of law costs incurred by the Government, and names of tne lawyers employed. The administration of KaitaDgata Relief Committee came under review under notice of Mr Joyce for a Committee of Inquiry. The general opinion was that the committee bad administered the funds with gpod judgment, though Mr Joyce complained of the way they made persons beneficially interested in the fund. Tne speaker con tended, however, that the proposed inquiry was. not intended as a reflection on the committee, but to pass an opinion on the manner in which this and ether similar funds should be dealt with.

The debate was interrupted by dinner adjournment.

EeplvinK to Mr Hobba's question whether the Government will offer .£2OO premium for a flying survey of the beat route for a railway from Kawakawa to Awanui, Mr Kolleston said the object would be better carried oat by the usual course. If the Government »sKed for the completion of ■urveys, they would have still to make an independent survey in order to judge ot the merits of the competing plans. It would be better to do the work by its own officers, which will be done.1 T» nTTW « Replying to Mr TUKNBULL, Mr ROLLES TOS said he was unaware, during histerm ofoffice as Native Minister, that Te Whiti had not received any Government com munication sent through MrParns. On the contrary, he had every reason to believe tfiat Te Whiti and hia people were made fully acquainted with the Government s in tentions towards them. HATIVK LASDS GEANT. In asking whether certain native land grants uplifted by the Commissioner and Mr Parris were uplifted by these gentle ment as agents for others or for their own Mr 'xOBNBUI.Ii said tho report of the Crown Lands Commissioner, of Taranaki, stated that for some reassn the . first purchasers of lands on the West Coastomitted to register, and it was not till the land passed through two or three hands that they were regis tered. He thought it very unwise that officers representing, the Government shonla be allowed to take up such lands. He believed that they held lands, not only in their own names, but. held, .other blocks.

FRANKLIN NORTH NOMINA TION.

The nomination of candidates for the Franklin North seat took place at noon to-day, at the Public Hall, OtahuUu. There were about 100 electors present. Major Harris and Mr Buckland were accommo dated with seats on the platform. At 12 o'clock exactly Mr ThomaE Cottar, the Re uruing Officer, came forward, and said : — Electors of the district of Franklin .North. Gentlemen, I will first read you the gazette notice of my appointment (gazette notice read). As Eeturning Officer for this district I received, from the Clerk ot Writ'i the following document (writ read). That document was received by me on May 23rd last. As directed by law, I caused advertisements to be inserted in the tTAK, "Herald," and "Weekly News" (adver tisements produced). Mr Cotter also read clauses 11 and 12 of the Regulation _of Elections Act concerning the qualification of candidates and nominators, and asked that none but duly qualified electors should take part in the proceedings. He then asked any duly qualified elector to nomin ate a candidate. Mr Solomon Cossey, sen., said that this was the second time lie had had the pleasure of nominating Benjamin Harris, Esq. He did so now with mo; c pleasure than on the previous occasion, because he thought he deserved it. (Hear, hear.) He hoped those who said " Hear, hear" would come and vote for Major Harris at the election on the 25th. He had known that gentleman for twenty-two years, and had founl him to be honest and upright in all his dealings, and he defied any man to say to the contrary. He believed they would carry the election 1 by a large majority, notwithstandingall that had been said to the contrary. Itwasmight against right, and he felt they had right on' their side. He felt it would be a serious loss to the 'country if Mr Buckland was returned (cheers and hisses). . Mr Smollett Reid said he had much pleasure in seconding the nomination. It was not the first time he had had the plea sure, On the first occasion he had been , doubtful of succes?, thinking that Harris did not possess the confidence of the elec tors. No such fear oppressed him this time, as lie felt sure of being on the winning side. He had for twenty-five years been mixed up with elections in. the province, so he was a bit of a prophet in such things. (Cheers). In 1863, when Harris was quite a lad, he had led his little troop further than General Cameron had done with his army. He liked a man with a bit ot pluck, though he had only one leg and a stick to stand on. He hoped they would not say they had a load of potatoes or a load of hay to take to town on the election day, but would turn out and vote for Major Hatris, (Choers.) Mr Samuel Andrew said in proposing Mr W. F. Buckland as a fit and proper person to represent them, he had an easy duty to perform, as Mr Buckland was thoroughly independent and candid, and was thor oughly fitted to represent an agricultural community. All knew that he would not go to Parliament either for pay or reward. They knew he would net bind nimself to factious opposition. (Bere ensued "con siderable uproar.) If they would not allow a man to speak, it showed theie was a bit of cowardice behind. Ha wanted to see a fair fight, toe to toe, hand to hand, and heart to heart, Mr Buckland was an Auckland man, and had a thor oughly patriotic desire to represent the people amongst those whom he had passed his youth and his manhood. He sincerely believed that if he was placed in Parliament as their representative, they would eventually find that he was, the right man in the right place. lie trusted they would place him ot the head of the poll with an unmistakeablu and triumphant majority. Mr Caleb Mortis, who seconded the nomination, (aid that they hid found Harris wanting, and should send a better man to represeut them. The electors of Franklin had sont Harris along with Ham tin to represent them, and they had fonnd that he (Harris) wanted strength of charac ter. He himself had admitted that. Had he not stated that he had been taken by the arm by a person to a place where ho did not want to go, (Cries of no, no.) He said that a person who was so weak miuded was not fit to represent them, and should give place to a better man. Ho expressed a doubt as to the sincerity of Harris's promise to support the present Ministry, saying that the "fair trial " ho had promised the Whitaker Ministry would be siven before he landed in Wellington, asserted that Harris' answer concerning the educa tion question had not been satisfactory He had promised to take the " sense ot the House," which meant that he would vote with the majority.—(Cries of no, and up roar. A voico : "This gentleman preaches the Gospel.") They needed a change for this reason • they wanted grants for road?, and in this matter had Harris done what a repiasentative should have done ? They wanted a man of more pertinacity — a man who would not be put aside. Harris bad showed that he was devoid of "push," and that he could be easily led by his co-oppositionists. Having been found wanting he should not stand in the way of a better man. He seconded Mr Buckland's nomination be cause ho felt that he had a weight with many members ot the House, and in sending him they would get a far more energetic man, a man who would make liib mark instead of a man who allowed himseif to be led where others chose, (cheers and groans). The Keturning Officer then invited farther nominations.

Mr William Moore proposed "Mr Gar rard, the agitator of Auckland, in prefer ence to Mr Buckland."

Mr McUee said he regarded the nomina tion of Mr Garrard as a direct insult to the intelligence of the electors- ot Franklin North. (Cheers.)

The Returning Officer then invited tho candidates to speak, Major Harris satd he would be thoroughly gatished with the decieioa of the electors on the 16th, because be felt sure he would be, the person elected. He had received a very good character fr«m bis nominators and should .he ever have occasion to leave the province he would come to them for testi monials. He also thanked the propp.ser of Mr Bucklnnd, b«t he could not go the same ta his secondt r. That person did not know him (Harris) at all, which was a kind of apology for the attack. He could scarcely believe his ears when he heard the remarks of Isr Buckland's seconder, but in election tjmes he had f.ound he could hardly beliove either his eyes or his ears. He recommended his friend to give up either preaching or politics. Referring to an accusation of 'wasting the time of the 'House, the speaker said he was proud of the part be had played in the " stonewalling" on the Representation Bill, and, to prevent an i injustice being done, he would stop oat of - bed for weeks, if necessary, If he thought he was going to represent people who objected to tbe coarse he had adopted, he did not want to go at all. He asked them to judge by bis|past conduct ot bis ability to represent them, and at any rate he would not pull them through a Fatetere or a Piako. He would not drag them through a swamp. He would support Mr Whitaker in preference to a Southern man.—(Cheers.)

Mr Buckland, who promised to \>e brief, said whenever he attacked his opponent he alrrays struck out, and did not gp round insinuating. He employed 30 working men, but he had never asked them to vote, because he considered when the BUurage was given to them it should not have been taken before. They found that Harris was still a supporter of the Oppo sition. He referred to Harris's statement The question he was fighting was law and order against riot and confusion. That question Had run him'to the top of a house and kept him there all night, and when he heard about "the grand old man," he saw it cropping up again. On the last election,' when Harris' found he was gejng (o be beaten', he summoned the best jnan on the colony 10 help him. (The Return-, iiig Officer demanded it to be withdrawn). ; flic speaker withdrew the statement, and said that a paid whip could not do his party justice, (This had also to be withdrawn on the request of the Returning Officer,) Mr Buckland said lies I bad been coined against him, and he could say that he had never Baid anything against' his opponent,except on his public capacity. In conclusion he promised to support the present Government) and would fight for the district, the same as when he had unfair play at the last election. In answer to questions, Mr Buckland Baid that the lie) coined agairut him' had resulted inTiis benefit. He would'be in clined to support the1 amalgamated wisdom of the Road Boards on the point's raised in. the Local Government circular.' " ! .'■' ■ The show',of hands resulted: Harris, 2,7 ; Buckland, 25. ' ■■!•!' : •: ''- -■■• ' Mr Buckland demanded a poll,.
