Tbmperancb. -The New Zealand Tern peranco Mission applied for permimion for Mr Hem us to give short temperance lec tures iv the city schools after ordinary working hours.-Granted.

Infants. —lt was decided to ask tbe views of all school committees as to whether live or seven ye-rs was considered the proper age at which to admit children to .school, aud stating that the City Committee ■v'juld he in favour ot the former.

DRAWING, MUSIC, AND D-tlLL.—The Committee decided to Inquire from head *eachtrs what portion of the time of school duties wa- taken up by visiting inetructots a dull, music, snd drawing It was con sidered possible that the regular .tail might undertake these duties.

Comi_Al.\T.

He thought tbis matter should be brought before the householders at the next annual meeting.

Factory Yooths.—The consideration of a propo al to recommend the introduction -fa Factory Youths' Education Bill has been further postpon-d till next meeting.

TRADES AND LABOUR COUNCIL.

AN adjourned emergency meeting of the Trades and Labour Council was held at the Working Men's Club on Saturday evening. The meeting was called by circular to con sider what action should bo taken in refer ence to'the New Zealand Goverament Rail way nnd Other Employes Bill now before Parliament. Mr Htslop, in taking the chair, stated that he had received a copy of the bill from Mr Mo.s, On reading it, he found it a most important one, and deeply -fleeting a large portion of the working classes, and thought that some action should be tuksn thereon. He telegraphed to Mr Moss, asking bim what time there was, who replied at ones that tbe bill would be read a second time on Wednesday next. The last meeting ■ having lapsed through waut of a quorum, owing to the inclemency ot the weather, he was glad on this occa sion to see such a large attendance. No Case could better illustrate the utility of the Council than the present one, for although this was a free country, Govern ment tmploy-^ were not allowed to meet aud discuss political subjects or take part tn matters political. The chairman then read a telegram he had received from Sir Georgo Grey te the Chinese, which has been published, and stated that there was a general desire on tbe part of tbeir mem oers to assist ii. legislating for the good of the working classes, He had received two copies of " Hansard " for the u«e ol members, aud hoped to be able to procure another. Members could have them on loan ou applying ,to him or the secretary. The tccret.iry then read tbe pro posed bill through, alter which it was gone iuto clause by claufe and care fully considered. Clauses 1 to 6 were inaoimou«ly adopted. Clause 7, relating ro the appointment of a board, created con siderable ducats ion. It was thought that i board constituted, as proposed, entirely of Government nom'nees, could notjbe an mpartial one, when it was resolved to sug gest that one-half should be nominated by the einployd. themselves. This, it was pointed out, would create a board of even numbers, which was un desirable, but would be got over in cases of disagreement by tbe appointment of an ic dependent referee chosen by the board, which was adopted, and that tbe board visit the departments four times a year. Clauses Bto 18 were adopted. Clause 19, >n superannuation, and all clauses relating to it, were, after due discussion, struck out, it bcin-r generally admitted that it would have the effect of so fixing the men as to make it impossible for them to resist suc cessfully encroachments ot their privileges or further reduction of wages. Clause 23, except as reg.rdssuperannuation,and clause 24, were adopted. Clauses 25, 26, and 27 were struck out, 28 to 30 adopt-d, 31 and 32 struck out, ond 33 carried, Iho part relating to penalty of £5 in clauie 34 was struck out. lt was then resolved that the result of the meeting be telegraphed to Mr Mots and the Auckland members, ask ing them to support the bill as altered The meeting then adjourned till Friday week,

ANTI-PROP EMIT TAX MEETING.

(BY TELEGRAPH.-PEESS ASSOCIATION.)

ISVEttCAKGILL, this day. A MEETING of settlers was held at Thorn bury to discuss tbo proposed increase in the Proporty Tax. Mr Hamilton moved a motion disapproving of increasing the tax and expressing the opinion that instead of raising the tax the exemption should be re duced to £100. The speaker admitted the fairness of a Property Tax, but held that with the present exemption of £500 only one-third of tho population con tributed. It had been said that tho Government were afraid of being turned out if the exemption was reduced, but they were unworthy to hold office if in fluenced by such a consideration. Ho agreed with the motion as far as lowering the ex emption, but did not think the Property Tax fair, a land and income tax would be much more preferable. It was simply a question of time, then tbe change would be made. The speaker said the Colonial Treasurer might be a good clerk, but be waa no politician, as shown by what he told the people at Invercargill, namely, if they did not like the tax they could sell out aud go eliewhcre. The speaker held that tho exemption should be abolished altogether, and predicted that Major Atkinson would yet come oat as an apostle t f land nationalisation. In the event of the settlers not being able to pay, he would give them ten per cent, over the vahai tion of the land aod take it overj leaving them free to go else There, Another speaker in considering tbe property tax, mentioned cases where settlers with horses worth £60 returned them at £15. Other speakers urged a reduction of the exemption, and some also favoured au income tax. No amendment was proposed, and the motion was passed by a large majority. A copy is to bo sent to the Treasurer.

CORRESPONDENCE.

"TRUTH-SEEKER."

(To the Editor.)

SlB, I was somewhat surprised to find in your last night's issue a letter from one who signs himself "Truth-seeker" on a subject which he seems to be in total ignorance about Let me here state that 1 have not received a challenge from Mr butson nor anyone else. 1 should only be too glad to difcusj the subject with one deemed by such as " Truth.seek-rr" able to defend orthodox lines of theology. I caonot think for a moment that " Truth-seeker " has re ceived his information re challenge from Mr Hutson, but in order to lay the matter be fore your numerous readers, the following is the copy of a letter nceived by mo from Mr Button:—" If you were to come out again as you spoke of doing, I could not take the chair, as I should wish to ba free to ask you some questiors en the points we discussed to gether. If you come we must try to find a chairman competent to decide concerning ihe questious, and that implies somo know led, o of Greek. Ido not invite discussion at present, a. I am likely to be very busy

with the building of the church, discuMini. with the Freethinkers, and preparing for mv examination in November. Aftertbatlmav if it be for the advancement of truth, discuss a point or two with you. I should, in the first place, contend that 'Man is not mortal. This, as you know, Is not as. sorting the immortality of man. If _ ---" establish this point, then tho way is o p en to discuss whether man endures for an ar/s or is immortal." This is all that has ever passed between myself and Mr Hut-on Heave your readers, Mr I'ditor, to jaded whether "Truth-seeker" is justified fn saying that I have been challenged and that I have not accepted it. In conclusion let me say that I hold myself open to dis' cu*-s publicly the subject of "Man's Nature" with any theological representa tive in New Zealand, and if "iTrath-seeker". can bring Mr Hutson or anyone else to comply, I shall bo only too glad for truth's sake.—Yours, &c , Geo, A, Brown Auckland, July 23, 1883.

THE CHORAL SOCIETY'S CONCERT.

(To the Editor.)

SiF,—As on outsider I would suggest that if the Choral Society gave a repetition of their concerts at in'ervols, either at tha Theatre or Opera House, it would con. siderably add to their funds; for how ever good their Hall may be in one sense, beautiful music like its sister, art needs a setting, and whitewashed walls and benche-t is not an attractive one, Lst Thursday Dight's performance would have done credit to many a large city in Europe, Not only was the orchestral execution the mo«r perfect of its kind, the selections ad mirably suited to all t.;-tcs; "the Turkish March " would draw a bumper house any. where, to say nothing of the opening overture and " Zaulierflore," gem among gems, Kerr Carl Schmitt has done wonders with splendid material, and must have felt gratified by the manner his efforts were re , warded on Thursday night. The earnestness i which pervaded the whole, underhi»guidance? was* soul-inspiring. Whether we were lis tening to the surge of the ocein through' Fingal'-i caverns, ppell-bound by echoes, or ttflilled by martial strains, we were alike bewitched. —1 am, tec,

THE FIRE ALARM SYSTEM.

(To the Editor.)

Sin,—The usele.snes. of tbe present sys tem of fire alarm, if system it can be called, was again very forcibly demon strated at the Sash and Door Company's fire last Tuesday momiDg. There being no provision for reporting a fire to the Brigade Station, it was, by mere chance, observed by Mes-rs Holland, and they, not under. standing, or, what is more probable, mistrusting, the toy electric alatm, resorted to the old-fashioned plan of ringing the fire bells. Tbe Brigade, guided to tbe locality only by the glare, were not prepared for the special circumstance of a lire ju-t out-ide the city boundary, and arrived with in sufficient hose, and tbe opportunity of coping with the fire was gone. The action of the Messrs Holland may be taken as sn indication of what the average citizen would do in such a case ; and considering the un usually stormy night, it is a wonder the members of the Brigade heard the alarm at all. Thousandsof pounds worth of property are annually lost through want of prompt and accurate alarms, aod the remedy is so simple, and has been on several occasions indicated in your columns, that the suplneness' of the body controlling tbe fire extinguishing organisation (the City Council, f believe) is culpable in a high degree, The remedy is to have a watch man placed in a tower on the higbe.t part of the city, and in communication by telephone with the Fire Brigade and Salvage Corps stations. From his elevated position he could detect a fire in its incipient stage and communicate the exact locJlty to the stations, and the captains could have such system as seemed best for summoning tlnir men; and many minutes (each most valuable in the early stages of a fire) would be saved,—l an, &c,

ARMS ACT DISPUTE.

(To the Editor.)

Sir,—When I sent you toy advertisement I d'd not know that 1 would get a copy of Monday's STAB, July 23, containing the letter with Mr R. Spencer's name attached. With his emphatic denial I have nothing to do. Mr Corns, kis employer, says ho did not know that there were guns for sale until he arrived there. As a proof, in his paper seen by the public there were no guns for sale in tbat paper, I will put a question or two to kirn. Who was the p-tty that told him, on the 21st of June, hist only chance was to take out a dealer's license, and he was doubtful whether that would save him ? The sale took place on the 19th, tbe J. P. signed the application on the 20th. Now that was a breach of tbe Arms Act. Again, if your licence says "Herd's Point," it surely does not say Parauma, three miles away. Your stric ture, on me and your intemperate language I can forgive, from a B.A. I am happy that we agree in one thing—that is, an Inquiry, not with documents that are not true, but assist me getting tbe case before a jury, where living witne.se. will swear the truth. I hold one of the guns -old by you on behalf of the Government. I want to de liver it up to the Government by them giving me a receipt for the same, I will deliver it up to no private person. Yon disprove not one single statement of nine, but merely give a flat denial.—l am, &_,, James MoLiod, Herd's Pofnt, July 25th, 1883. [This correspondence must now ceato, ai it is becoming evident that the subject it not one for newspaper di-cus-ion.—Ed. E.S.]
