MR DARGAVILLE BEFORE HIS CONSTITUENTS.

I * Pursuant to notice, Mr J. M. Dargaville j appeared before and addressed a meeting of electors in the Theatre Royal lost night upon tho events of the past session. The place was crowded. On tho motion of Major Burns, Mr W. R. Waddel was called to the chair, and ho briefly opened the proceedings. Mr Dargaville was. received with ap plause. After a complimentary reference to the largeness of tho gathering,he went on to remark that a considerable portion of what ha would have to say would bo of a personal character. The fault was not his, for it arose from tho fact that tho Press was on one side (A voice—"And the banks on tin. other.") and he was on the other. Ho supposed that all was fair in love and war, He had reason to complain of the Auck land newspapers for having consistently mis represented his actions and attitude in Par liament. When he left to go to Wellington he was in the position of a man perfectly unfettered by party or political tie. While this was so ho wus disposed to give in his adhesion to the Government so long as their proposals did not conflict with his duties to his constituents. When he got there, however, he found no cohesion in the Ministerial ranks, but that the rank. and lilo were separated into five or six little parties with as many leaders. Well, they knew that shortly after his arrival there ho became embroiled with the leader of the Ministry in the Lower House — a pro fessional politician of some 20 years' standing, a man who presumed outside his rights, knowing- that he was protected by the golden wings of a bank, through whose influence two-thirds if not three-fourths of the newspapers in the colony found it to be to their interests to be moderate in their criticisms. Shielded by this in stitution, and enjoying the immunity, ho was a favourite .-.with the governing families, and, in fact, was a relative of most of them, and ho felt as if lie had a natural and prescriptive right to govern this coun try, conscious, no doubt, that the golden wings of a great political bank envel oped him and shielded him; con scious than two-thirds if not three fourths of the newspapers of the colony find it to their advantage to promote his interests and extend his fame ; conscious that the 10,000 Government employes — bocause there aro no fewer than that throughout New Zealand from end to end—were at his beck and nod, and dare not go against him, openly at all events ; conscious that his con nection and relationship with the long estab lished governing families and officials had given an almost incontestable right to govern; Under these circumstances, ho was a daring •man who would venture to board hiffl. His insolence and overbearing demeanour were such that even members of tho Opposition could hardly speak without fear and tremb ling, for his weapons were coarse, invective, and vulgar raillery. . Mealy-mouthed sen timentalism, milk-and-water platitudes, were wasted on such a man, and the refined courtesies of debate were as incongruous in being observed towards him as if one were to take off his hat to a mastiff. After a reference to tho partial manner in which the Public Accounts Committee was set up, the payment* to tho Bank of New Zealand of 120,000 as commission nnd exchange (for some un explained and mysterious reason), the speaker went on to say that we were tho most heavily taxed country in the world, and yet no proposal was made to retrench expenditure in its proper direc tion, it was considered prefciaWe-to pursue "tho good old rule, the simple plan" of cutting our coat according to our cloth. When ho saw and noted all these things his frame of mind was such that if lie had then been asked, "Dargaville, what side are you on ?" lie would have replied in the words of a Hibernian similarly interro gated immediately on his arrival in the States, "I'm against Government." When the matter of tho Property Tax came up for consideration, ho found an opportunity for relieving his feelings; and, perhaps, ho spoke a little warmly. At any late" it seemed to him right to speak his mind, and perhaps if ho had not done so in the way he did his meeting that night would not be so largo as it was. Not only did he presume lo criticise tho Government, but he actually had the temerity to attribute to them the real motives of certain actions. Ho told them about the means by which a certain institution, whose head-quarters were in Auckland, got passed through Parliament in ISG7 an Act conferring certain largo powers by which some £100,000 or £200,000 were secured for their private pockets. Indeed so lucrative was it, that they wore able to pay a sum of £lo,oootothe gentlemen who were instrumental in carrying tho measure through. After delivering u; a speech he went out into tho lobby, and as ho reflected upon his action he began to feci highly pleased with himself. Very soon ho was joined by members from both sides of tho House, who came in twos and threes, seized him warmly by both hands, put their arms within his, and assured him of tsie un bounded plensuro with which they had viewed his action, saying that what he had said was perfectly true, and that it was tho first timo anyone had ventured to touch it. This, of courso, was very flatter ing to a young politician (laughter), and he felt that ho had done tho right thing. He returned to the House, and the Treasurer rose, thunder in his looks, determination in his face, and war in his tones, and ho made a bitter and virulent speech. When tho Treasurer was done, ho himself roseand intimatedthatatan early op portunity ho would move for a Special Coin initteo to inquire into the circumstances under which n sum of £10,000 was paid by tho Bank of Kow Zoaland to Messrs Whitaker and Russell in 1807, conceiving that to have been the point which had raised tho iro of tho Treasurer, and not mere charges of corruption which were so freely bandied about in that House, Indue course ho gave the required notice, but all possible means wero taken to delay it. The speaker then went on to detail the sotto voce pnssnge-at-arms between Major Atkinson' and himself iji tho House, to remark upon that gentleman's intention to checkmate, himby movingfora Committee to investigatehisown conduot(thus acting like a prisoner who would appoint his judge and jury), and to refer to the manner in which honourable members tried to dissuade him from proceeding with his charges by with drawing and making some slight expres sions of regret. He refusod, however, being determined to vindicate tho truth of what ho had asserted. Although he had many sympathisers ho stood alone, for his party was composed of one man, himself. Until he could find a leader who was bold, vigilant, staunch to his frionds, and uncompromising to his foes, ho was likely to remain in his own party. Well, by skilful generalship a Committee was appointed that was favourable to tho Government, and the matter was jo well spun out that only one charge could bo re ported on boforo tho' prorogation. Mr Dargaville went on to explain his charges, and" to cito tho opinions of the Hon. W. S. Reid (Solicitor-General) and Mr Stout with reference to some of them. Their opinions •istablished tho fact that moneys had been lent in a manner not con templated by the law—ho might say in violation or in disregard of the law. AVell, the Committee at length reported that ho had failed to provo his assertions, and that there was no ground whatever for them. He stated in the Houso that he refused to accept tho verdict of a packed Committee, but that expression resulted in his being called to order for tho first time, and ho had to withdraw it. He might have substi tuted the torm "pickod Committee." Well, that report was adopted, but he would not put an affront upon tho Houso by saying that that was its action. Mr Dargaville then went on to read largely from the printed report of his speech in the House on tho occasion that tho Committee's report was adopted. Ho explained that tho reason of his reading this lengthy extract was tho necessity for explaining clearly his action, and this the speech did. Every means wero taken to record all possible Govern ment votes on tho occasion, and their whips insisted on being furnished with pairs, so that the votes of gentlemen wero recorded who knew nothing of tho report. When tho matter camo finally before tho Houso, ho requested Sir George Groy and Mr Montgomery to withdraw their supporters, and they obligingly did so, all the Opposi tion members leaving in a body except two, who by the forms of the Houso were obliged to remain. Tho result of the voting, of course, was 29 Government sup porters ; two Dargavillites. (Laughter.) Some very curious things would appear on this division; list of the Government being analysed. Of the glorious 29 five were Ministers, 14 or IS were gentlemen who, " not to put too fino a point upon it," as Snagsby would say, wero peculiarly inter ested in the Bank of New Zealand and tho Loan Company (laughter), some five or six wero gentlemen who had several thousand substantial reasons to vote, on behalf of their constituents, for the Government, and the remaining two or three members were the ambitious expectants for the vacant portfolio of the Minister for Agriculture. (Renewed laughter.) Ho had designated this majority the dregs of the Government supporters, -which, 'indeed, was rather a mm w»y tf putting it. Whjls these thing .

were going on, the Auckland newspapers came to hand regularly, and he told them"-, at once that he Was afraid of the news- H papers far more than he was of Premier1"! Government, Bank of New Zealand, orany.7 ono else, for no one could know until fL 9 became a public man what a terror the I Press had for him. Ho was ambitious, and loved polities, and cherished the hope of I being a public man and a useful one too He knew that he could never become so if he ' had the unrelenting hostility of the Press to contend with. He had not been used fairly 1 by tho two Auckland daily papers, but ' he said now that he forgave'them. "(Loud laughter.) Especially was he disposed to forgive the Stak, after the manly leaders it had recently written about the vacant ' portfolio. When a man was tried as ho had been, he had good cause to be patient ! and he would prevail in the end. He ventured to predict that the columns of the ! Stak would yet be devoted to telling the people how excellent a Minister Mr Darga ' villc would be. (Laughter.) After quoting from a book which he had picked up in the steamer Waihora an incident in the life of President Garfield that ho considered to supply a close parallel to his own action, Mr Dargaville went on to deal with Mr Lucking action in securing for Mr Geo. Thorne junr., a 2i- years' extension of liig <. n j ov |, m«nt of the handsome emoluments; that he derived from tlie insurance business : making by it a revenue of , something like i' 3,000 a year, while the sa b_ ordinate officials were miserably underpaid Tho Public Petitions Committee prepared a report upon the Committee, but the Treasurer hearing of this, tabled a resolu tion prohibiting them from submitting it and, as he was the ruler of the House of course'it passed. Ho saw the Chairman 1 of that Committee before him to-night and expected him, when addressing his'con. stituents, to corroborate every word of what" wasnow said. The Comptroller-General was perfectly right in the letters he had sent to the House protesting against the illegal transaction of withdrawing, by imprest '■ £192,000 wlthoutlawfulwarrantforsodoine and the manner in which the sum of £18 000 had been dealt with, it having been paid into tho account of tho Minister for Public I Works instead of into the public account On these things the Public Accounts* Committee had also prepared reports but they were absolutely expunged and'pre vented from being brought before the House. After a reference to .he personnel of this Committee, and the manner in which Major Atkinson carried • his motion, referring its report back Mr Dargaville went on to "briefly notice the legislation of the session. The Bankruptcy Act would be exceedingly usef«l to the trading community, but it was unfair that the cost of prosecuting a debtor should be thrown upon the country. ' Then there were the Charitable Gifts Exemption Act exempting such donations from duty, the Annexation and Federation Act, the Auck land Additional Loan Act. After noticing the three policy bills, viz., the Legislative Council Reform Bill: and the Railways Improved Land Bill, Mr Dargaville passed onto sum up. He said that tho present administration was not satisfactory, inasmuch as it was in the hands of a few people, a wealthy obligarchy, who virtually made our legislation. They con trolled our finance and regulated our expen diture. Abuses wero constantly arising,, and dissatisfaction and discontent wero rife • from one end of the colony to the other. He - had come to the conclusion that the present form of Government was not the best adapted to the colony, and in order to avert separa tion, which ho would regard as a public misfortune, it was absolutely necessary that some reform of the constitution should take place. He thought that all matters relating peculiarly to each island should be under its sole control—such matters, for instance, as railways, telegraphs, main roads, public works, outlying harbours, lighthouses, ': gaols, hospitals, charitable aid—with I Auckland as the seat of North Islandi government, and a central government in Wellington having charge of colonial matters — such as debt admistration, justice, external and internal defence, revenue, and marriage laws. The pre sent Government was composed of de signing politicians, anxious to perpetuate their power, mado by playing off districts ' against each and playing upon local jealousies. Aucklnndhadnotbirigtoexpect from them, for they believed her to be bound hand and foot to them, both news papers being on their side, and their in difference was shown by their determination . to leave her unrepresented in the Cabinet. We wanted railways to Taranaki and| Hawke's Bay, the extension of our Soutlp Sea Island trade, and so long as we w^'i not allowed to manage our own affairs So': long would our bent iuterests be neglected.;; (Applause.) In answer to questions, Mr Dakgaviixe j stated—(l) That ho would not fa voir the abolition of the Upper House altogether, ftn iil. °.il^""',nce of Parliament by dtae House at Wellington; [•_■• ti^tthe people of the oolony were responsible for vii» unsecured £125,000 in tho bank in tho event oi iu_ failing ; (3) he did not think Major Atkin son would give him a portfolio in the forth coming Ministry. Calls on the part of tho Chairman for Mr Edwin Can- to propose a resolution having failed to elicit any roeponso, MtCiias. McMaster moved "ThatMr Dargaville deserves the best thanks and confidence of his constituents and of the colony for his action in the House last session, and especially for his unflinching advocacy of tho right of free speech for the representatives of the people." Mr J. B. Graham seconded. While the people wore dispersing under the excitement of a fire alarm, cheers were called and given for Mr Dargaville and Sir Geo. Grey. This, concluded the proceedings.

DOMAIN BOARD.

The monthly mooting was hold yesterday, wlea thoro wore .present—Messrs ronton (in fthe chair), Buckland, Sutton, Walker, Peacock.—An application if rom jMr Brcwin too extra ground, was granted on tho understanding that'ftlio same does not form part of his lease, and that ho skall not uso it for grazing purposes; the Board to rcsunio possession when thoy require tho ground.
