1< or tho cause that lacks assistance For thu wrong that needs resistance, lor tho future in the distance, And the good that wo can do.

Tiik destruction of the beasons at Ivawhin by Tawhiao'e order, if allowed to pass un noticed by tUo GoTornmont, would bo followed by some further net of overt hostility. Having asserted their authority over tho township, tho GoTornmcnt must either take stops to maintain their position, or retire ignominioKsly. Tho Inttor alterna tive cannot be entertained for an instant, Tavrhi&o's personal encouragement to the recent act of defiance lends additional weight to tho demand for vigorous mea sured, and the intelligence published to-day that a contingent of tho Armed Constabu lary ii> ordered to occupy the Government township for tho purpose of preserving order mid preventing further outrages will be read with satisfaction. The breach existing between the Ngati maniapotos and tho King's tribe is so wide that there is no reason to apprehend combined resistance to tho occupation of the district, and tho fato of Mahuki will probably deter isolated bnndsof malcontents from attempting any raid ujion the settle ment. Tho nbsenco of teiegraphio com munication with Kawhla will, however, bo seriouily felt in executing tho movement which tho Government havo taken in band. This work should bo pressed on without de.ay. It is also manifest that thoro will never be any guarantee for tho i>caco of tho North Island until the whole country is opened up by a railway through to Taranaki. Wahanui, tho most powerful of tho Ngatimaniapoto chiefs, has showrti.- a gonuiuo donire to treat with the Government, and ho submitted the caso of his people to Parliament last session by petition. If the military occupation of Kawhia is followed by negotiation! for the railway survey, the material for determin ing the routo of tho trunk lino and for let ting the first contract should be ready before tho Assembly meets next y«nr.

Official Tyranny.

'Is any ono awa*e what aro tho

j powers of mat mysterious institution known as tho Audit Office ? Its locale is in Wellingtcn, in some of thoso Government buildings which may not inaptly be com pared to cages in a great menagerio, while the Audit Offico might bo looked upon by tho untutored individual ns a dangerous animal, liable to frequent ebullitions of rago, followed by relapse* into eul lefl good humour. A wise man, asked to defino tho most danger ous animal, replied — "Among wild ones, atyrant; amongtamo ones, a flatterer." The Audit Office appears to havo a little of the power of the tyrant and tho flatloror combined, and therefore is an Animal of tho most dangorous typo. An instanco of this animal's pranks which has just como under notice is worthy of a little attention. Last week we learned that the Clerk of tho Court at Tapanui, Otago, had been sent a month to prison in default of paying a fine imposed upon him for failing to render monthly returns. This fine was inflicted by tho Audit Oilice at Wellington, in exerciso of its tyrannical powers; and from all that appears, it is possible that Colbourn, tho Clork of Court, was quite justified in resisting a despotic and unjust impost. When it was known, however, that Colbourn was a constablo, and when we reflected that constablos aro apt to l»o rather dogmatic in their legal interpretations, wo thought it probable that he had committed a gross dereliction of duty, and was resisting tho fine out of pure pig-headedness. Now, however, wo havo news that tho Audit Oilice has found out ite mistake, has passed the accounts of tho Tapanui Clork of Court, and such representations havo been made to the Minister of Justico that tho release and reinstatement of Constablo Celbourn have beon ordered. In the latter action we find tho touch of tho flatterer ; not only does tho Audit Office confess ij« own fault, and undo the wrong it had perpetrated, but it seems to pat Congtable Colbourn on tho back and beslobber him all over with profuse apolo gies. Probably the release and reinstate ment of tho imprisoned Clerk of Court are proper actions, and with them we find no fault. It is better to be right to-day than consistent with yesterday; but it really is preposterous that such power of condemna tion and pardon should rest with an iirc sponsibleand impersonal body like the Audit Office. This constable-clerk was tried for an offence in his absence, ordered into prison without being heard, and it ap pears that it was only when an appeal was made to the Minister of Justico that the persecuted man was set at liberty. Justice in the early stages of the caso was conspicu ous by its absence, and now that it has awakened and asserted its authority it is clear that it should go further. Is it not possible to imprison the Audit Offico? If the animal cannot be altogether shut up, it

is surely possible to shorten its chain. We know little of Tapansi; and less of tho constable - olerk who has beon tho object of the attentions of the Audit Ollico; but if tho Audit Office hai the arbitrary powers which it has beon ex erciaing, no one knows how soon thoy may bo used against people in every district and department of public business. We there fore trust that those who have a control over the dangerous animal—if there is any control at all—will look to their duty, and do something to curb its pranks in the future.

The only business before P. A, Philips, Esq., J.P., at the Police Court to-day was the temporary disposal of Thomas Smith, a wretchedly-clothed individual, who looked tho picture of misery. Tho unfor tunate Thomas was fined 10s and costs, but being moneyless, was despatched to the still retreat of Mount Eden for JS hours.

The Union Company received a cablegram from Sydney reporting the detention of the Manapouri there until to-day. Sho will therefore not arrive hero before Thursday, and her departure is postponed to Friday noon.

The visit of Mr Kollin P. Saxe, American importer, breeder, and exporter of thorough bred livestock, for the purpose of examining the herds of Hereford cattle, has, we believe, resulted most satisfactorily. Mr Saxo has inspected tho herds of the Now Zealand Pedigree and Stock Company, at Cranstono, and found there cattle which cannot be excelled in any part of tho world. He believes that pure-bred stock of this class can be shipped from Auckland to supply the American market more cheaply than from England nnd can be landed in better condition. Mr Saxo is now preparing for a first ship ment by the outgoing mail steamer, and on his return to America, will make arrangements for regular shipments if the experiment equiils expectations. An extra ordinary demand has arisen recently in the Pacific States for Hcrefords, and there is every prospect of a steady and remunerative trade being opened up. Tho partiality entertained by Messrs McLean for Here ford cattle induced them to breed largely from absolutely pure strains ; and the Com pany to whom their stock was transferred havo now on their station as fino a herd of pedigree stock of this class as any breeder could wish to seo.

Tim urlcket averages of tho colony, so far as they are obtainable, havo been compiled by our cricket writer, and will be found in tbcSupplementaccompanying thisovening's i.-isuo of tho Star.

The programme for tho Wuitemuta Bicycle Club's opening run next Saturday is also published amongst our "Field Sports."

Wo understand that the Legal Committee of the City Council havo recommended tho procural of a hoso reel mounted on a vehicle, so that in easo of an alarm of fire a horse may at onco bo procured at Quick's, and the reel drawn by it to the scene of action.

Mr J. M. Dargaville has secured the Thcatro lloyal for Wednosday evoning next for his address to the electors of City West. The prevalent indignation on account of the exclusion of Auckland from tho Cabinet is curtain to ensure for him a largo gathering not only of tho electors of City West, but of other city and suburban constituencies.

Complaints aro continually being mado about tho stato of I.ornu-strect. Some of the residents at tho Aborcrombie end of the street are daily in tho habit of throwing all sorts of rubbish—torn paper, tins, rags, otc. — into the street, and which conduct, if not discontinued, will subject the offenders to charges undor the by-laws, which may prove neither pleasant nor profitable.

The charge of malicious injury to pro perty at \\ aiheke, on tho information of Robert McLeod, was concluded at a late hour last evening at the Police Court before the Resident Magistrate. The defendants, 11unry Trace and John Phillips, as well as the prosecutor, were old settlers in the Island, and tho feud aroso out of an old worthless tenement which defendants knocked down, Tho question of title was therefore involved. Several native witnessos wore heard, who deposed that they saw ono of tho defendants demolishing the chimiidy. The prosecution only proved this and the taking away of some flooring. The defence lailod in establishing Mr MoLood'.i solo right to tho hut, and the cuso jwas dis missed.

Mr A. K. Murray has just issued a Pookot Time Tab! 3 and Diary on the lines followed In tho chief cities of Great Britain.

Tho sub jects wero extremely well handled from the rev. lecturer's standpoint, and we have no doubt that in their collected form they will moct with a very ready nalo.

To tho Editor: Sir, —it seems to me rather hard that shareholders of the late Mutual Insurance- Co., after having suffered a loss, should bo obliged to lay out of what balance remains so long, while the liquidators must havo funds in hand.

We understand Messrs 11. N. Abbott and McGowan havo completed all arrange ments for tho appcaranco in Now Zea land of tho groat comedian, Mr Polk, tho only representative of tho strategist and other novel specialties. Mr I'olk will bo supported by his accomplished wife, Mrs Julia A, Polk, tho charming sopranovocalist, and ono of the best comedy companies ever organised in the colonies. The engagement is for tho whole lour of Now Zealand, com mencing at Auckland on or about thcSlat of October.

On Tuesday evening next a vocal and in strumental concert in aid of tho funds of the Excelsior Cricket Club will behold in the NowtonCongregational Hall. Tho programme is of a raried and attrac tive character, including many good items. Messrs J. Hcmus and Professor Lambert aro to givo two performances on the piano and violin, and several well-known lady and gentleman vocalists will render appropriate musical selections.

An inquest was held yesterday at the Hospital before Dr. Goldsbro', Coroner, and a jury on tho body of Miclinel Costollo, who was found by Constable llyan on tho 25th inst. near Scccombe's Brewery, in a state of unconsciousness. Dr. Bond gave evidence to tho effect that Costollo, when admitted to the Hospital, was Buffering from the con sequences of excessive drinking. Ho was unconscious until tho period of his death, and never, rallied. Death resulted from delirium Iremens. Similar testimony was given by Constable Ryan and James Byrne?. ' Tho jury found that deceased died through exposure, accelerated by drink. Deceased was an old soldier of the 58th Regiment.

To the Editor : Sir,—Allow me to cor rect a slight inaccuracy in your report of the accident to. tho lato Ml' Smith, in which you state that I refused to attend to him, Upon that occasion I was passing along Albert-street, when a fellow-workman of his asked mo to come to his assistance. I turned my horse round with tho intention of doing so, but on" getting into \Vollosley-street I saw the injured man being taken into Mr Tennont'sshop, and thinking that that gen tleman would attend to him, I naturally concluded that my services were not re quired. Had ho remained at the building, or been taken elsewhere, I would have im mediately followed and attended to him.— I am, &c., L. D. Evans, M.K.C.S., Enfe'., L.R.C.1., &c.

The first of a promised series of competi tion conceits is announced to take place on Monday evening first in the Theatro Royal, undor tlio conduct of Mr l'ooley, whoso Saturday concerts were so much appre ciated. On this occasion the competition ia for baritones and basses, and we believe nino competitors will appear. The audience being the judges, no doubt great interest will be taken in the contest, and the result of these concerts must be to increase the musical taste of the community. A man named Alexander Shaw had his leg severely injured while engaged jacking logs at Kaipara yesterday. Ho arrived in town by truin thin morning, and was con voyed to the Hospital. Medical examina tion shows that he has sustained a compound fracture of the leg below the knee. The master of the cutter Spitfire reported to Sergeant Clarke to-day that a young man named Olson employed on board of his Vessel had been very ill for some time, and asked to have him conveyed Lo the Hospital. At the direction of the Sergeant, a stretcher was procured, and by its aid the request was complied with. Olsen is evidently Buffering from the effect* of a severe cold. A meeting of ratepayers of the Point Chevalier Highway District was held last evening at the Northern Hotel, for the pur pose of closing a road. Mr Crawford, Chairman of the Board, having convenedtho meeting, presided. After somclittlediscuß sionthe following motion, proposed by Mr J. Lawrence, was carried: —"That portion of a load in the western part boundary of allotment No. '10, and part of allotment 39, and boundary of allotments Nos 39 and 38 of section No. 3 of the suburbs of Auck land, commencing at a point 2-10 links from the north-western corner of the said allot ment, No. 40, and coloured red on the plau lodged for inspection at the Northern Hotel, bo stopped, but so that it will not in any way interfere with the road now used and known as the Cabbage-tree Road." Messrs Dutton Brothers, cork-cutters and workers, have completed a Government order for a supply of cork life-belts for the pilot services of tho colony. Tho belts are strongly mado, bound with the best web bing, and in every respect suited for the purpose of saving life in case of accident, by keeping tho men afloat on the water. Tho Harbour Board have also ordered a specified number of these life-saving belts, which are ready for immediate delivery. They were manufactured on tho promises, the cork of which they aro made being 1J inches in thickness, and 15J inches in length, and aro formed upon the principle of thoso used on English life-boats, with all the latest improvements, with more durable bands, being of webbing instead of less costly material. Messrs Dutton, who rightly claim to bo the pioneer cork-cirtters of Now Zealand, supply every thing pertaining to the trade, such as corks and bungs of varied size and quality, life buoys, vessel-fenders, and ileecy cork coles, invaluable to invalids and others. The process of cork-cutting is interesting, and the expeditious manner in which corns are shaped for use is remarkable.

A meeting of the South End Cricket Club was held on Thursday, 27th inst., Mr G. M. Brown in the chair, when tho annual re port was road and adopted. Mr G. M. Brown was re-elected Captain. Mr J. Leahy having resigned as Secretary and Treasurer, Mr G. M. Brown was appointed to tho post. Tho followng wcro elected as a Com mittco:—Messrs J. Leahy, D. Sutherland, A. Howard, and 11. Brookfield. It wan agreed to ask His Honor .Fudge Brookfield to become President, and J. D. Jackson, Esq., Vice-President. During last season the Club played twenty-two matches, won tweWo, lost five, and drew five. A friend kindly promised to present a silver medal for the highest batting averajjo for tho present season. A vote of thanks to tho Chairman and retiring otlicein brought tho meeting to a close. The principal averages of last season ar« as follow :—Bat ting : Leahy, 13.4 ; A. Howard, 13.3 ; (J. Brown, 11.6; Beaver, 10.1; Sutherland, 8.2 ; Brookfield, 7.2. Bowling : Leahy, S.Sruna per wicket; Sutherland, 4.3 runs per wicket. These avorages came to hand too late to appear amongst tho general list in our Supplement. Notwithstanding the very inclement weather, the members of Mr Woodyoar's Circus formed the promised procession and promenaded tho principal streets of the city this afternoon. The ordor of procession was as follows : A Comacho Indian riding on a grey Mustang pony, the band wagon drawn by six horses, and Tnlbot Shields, as tho " hound-jockey," riding immediately behind, two Mexican lady and six gentle men riders following, with Max Kinkle in an American Eureka cart, drawn by the pony known as the " Duke." The other members of tho Circus Company followed in different capacities, and the procossion finished up with tho Electro-Dynamo Machine Engine, itc, drawn by four groy horses. The company returned in time to give tho matinee for children and families.

On a recent Sunday in Wellington, while a funeral was being conducted, a lot of "respectable" young men, who wore col lected in a house near tho cntranco to the Cemetery, made & great dißturbanco by piano-playing and singing in chorus the song of " The Midshipmito."

The question of allowing teachers to hold Heats on highway and other boards wm again boforo tho Board of Education yester day. Mr Worthington roplied to a letter stating that ho had not access to the school rolls, but after consulting ono of the teachers ho believed twenty Parnell child ren attended the Wellesloy-streot School. Mr Moms doprecated too much interference with teachers, while Mr Buckland thought thoy should not allow tho teachers to get tho upper hand of them. It was agreed, on Mr (ioldio's motion, "That the matter be referred back to Mr Worthington, and ho be asked to furnish the information asked for at last meeting, tho information already supplied not being sufficiently definite." Complaintl! woro then read from three resi dents of Paparoa against Mr Wilson, teachor, being a member of the Road Board. Messrs Cooper and Moss objected strongly to any interference with tho rights of teachers, but the Chairman pointed out that they had it in ovidonco beforo thorn, in the three lotters which had been received, that Mr Wilson's taking part in local politics did interfere with the attendance at tho school. Tho school should hare tho primary considera tion of tho Board. On the motion of Mr Goldio, it was agreed, " That, in tho caso of Mr Wilson, the previous decision of tha Board bo adhered to, viz., requesting Mr Wilson to resign his scat on the Koad Board."

At the Board of Education yesterday afternoon, considerable timo was occupied in hearing two rival deputations in reference to tho establishment of a school in Buck land. Eventually Mr Buckland gave notice of motion for next meeting—" That tho Board deoidc to establish a school at Buok land on condition that tho residents give fives acres of land, and site be selected by tho Inspector of Schools." Tho Minister of Education wrote stating that it was im probablo tho Board could receive its grant before next March, and it was re- Solved, in replying, to ask tho amount. Application of residents of Ara pohue for a new school granted, accommo dation for 70 pupils to be provided. On the question of a new door for Wollesley-strcet school, it was resolved that for the future all doors should open outwards. An appli cation for a new school at Bayfield was refused, but it was decided that a temporary school should be oponed in Richmond lload. Mr Buckland gavo notice of motion —"That it is the true construction of section 45 of the Education Act, 1877, that the school com mittees aro to be consulted respecting the removal as well as the appointment and dismissal of teachers." It was resolved to omploy M. Villeval and Dr. Hensen as French and German visiting masters respec tively at the Girls' High School. H. T. Marshall was appointed to a junior clerk ship in the Board of Education; to be taken on trial for three months. A number of country applications were considered and dealt ■with, and the meeting adjourned.

Referring to this presentation watch, ho says : —'When I loft London tho watch was six seconds fust, and on my arrival at Sin gapore it was only three seconds slow, a most extraordinary performance for a watch, as I carried it on my porson the whole of the time. I compared it every day with my chronometers on the passage out, and it seldom or nover differed ono second from them ; in fact, I found it almost if not as good as my chronometers, which is a groat thing to say for a watch carried about and subject to all kinds of jolts."

THE "DUMMYISM" CHARGES IN OTAGO.

[it tblkoraph—own corbespo.vdbnt.]

Dunedin, this day. Mrt ASHCROVr (formerly editorof tho"Otago Daily Timos," and who was.romoved fromthat position because of certain anti-"duminyism" articlcswhich lie wrote) has marked his assumpt ion of the editorial control of the " Morning Horuld" by a series of strongly personal attacks on Mr Smith. Yesterday ho said inter alia.-— "Tho 'Hailf- Timoe1 has an excellent article on the pathetic letters of Pearsall and Young with regard to tho Drummcnd sections on tho Cottesbrook runs. It fairly reviews tho evidence, nnd shows that nil tho cunning of dishonest men is of no avail when onco tho light of truth is let in; but the remarkablo thing is that one of tho principals concerned in those nefarious attempts to steal public land, nnd who in all probability, prepared the tools by which the robbery was to ho committed, still sits on tho Hoard of our morning contemporary ; nay more did all ho could to turn aside the current of public opinion by stopping tho outspoken com ments ot:that Journal, whoso policy ho consid orcd himselt entitled to control. That tho 'Daily Times' was so far committed to a straight course of action in this matter that it could not draw back, is manifest. They, may do n good deal to please an lillucutlui director but they could not do that; but is it not a scandal and a shame that a man who stands con demned at tho bar of public opinion and of Parliament as participates Crimea in a vilo plot to monopolise by crooked means an area of the public estate should sit at the Board of Management o£ the very journal which ' claims credit for condemning these practices in unmistakeablo terms ? We have not a word to say against the very estimable citizens who are associated in the conduct of tho papci' with this truculent gentleman who talks so gliblvof bowio knives and revolvers; but they must expect as long as they continue to associate with him, to share tho odium which justly attaches to his name; and that ho still holds such a position is ono more proof of the power of money. His also a proof of tho necessity for a check on the proceedings of men whoso sole object is to obtain possossion of wealth by whatever means so long as they can keep out of the clutches of the law."
