SATURDAY, JUNE 16, 1883

THE Ministerial party show a disposition to treat the Opposition la very cavalier fashion daring the session which h»s just been opened. Not so much from a con sciousness of thtir own power, as from a correct diagnosis of the weak and dis organised siato of their opponents. Minis ters kave entered tbc arena with that easy and jaunty air which marks the com batant confident of victory; but the check administered at the outset to Major Atkin son by Sir George Grey proves that the dominant party will not jast Lo allowed to ride rough-shod on the path tbey have marked out for themselves. Xhie Colonial Treasurer thought he could tempt a battle by throwing down the gage of defiance over the Land T»* motion of the member for Auck land Bast, and made an attempt to convert It into a motien of want of coofidsneo in the Government When Mr Montgomery asked when tbe Financial Statement would be delivered, the Treasurer replied that he would bring down the statement as so»n as the Addrecs-in-Ueply was passed, and the propoaals of Mr Montgomery re Property lax and air George ftrey re Land Tax were disposed of. Such an attempt to force the fighting was not to the mind of the- Knight of Kawau, and, well-vened as the old campaigner is in all the rules of the political tourney, he would not allow himself to be betrayed into a disadvantageous position. He therefore intimated to tbe Houte that, despite what Major Atkinson had stated, he would not bring on bit Land Tax motion until it suited his own convenience, and tbe Major's little scheme to discomfit the Opposition before they struck a blow bos been completely Bpoiled. Unless the very loose canon, that "All is fair in Love and War," Is also extended to the realm of Politics, it is impossible to dtfend such tactics as those sought to be employed by the Government leader in the House oil Representatives. The very strength of the MinisterialwU should make them generous in their conduct towards tboir opponents; and the attempt to fortify their position by performing a manißuvro which would - have looked remarkably like slaying the slain, was a bit of subterfuge so ungenerous as to be almost mean. Especially is this the) cose if it be trne, aa reported, that the financial Statement is already prepared, and that no reason exists tor tbe trne issue being raised between the Government and theOppotition. bach tactics are, besides, sure to produce a reaction, and it persisted in, will nnmiatakc ably land to a danerapprochenmitfil not an actual fusion of the upposition elements, And considering the several "rocks ahead," wbioh in the course of the session may threaten the existence of the present. Government—notably the great railway question, both Forth and South, and the subject of Native Lands— the Major might be better employed in looking carefully to his weapon* than in making a vain parade of strength; re membering two old sayings which seem very appropriate to the present situa tion—"tot him that thinketh be standoth take heed lest he fall;" and " Let not him that puttsth on bis armour boost as him that taketh it off." ■/. i

Australian Federation.

Bridging the Murray Kiver at Albury, and thus connecting tbe railway systems of New South Wales and Victoria, has been tbe occasion of suggesting the desirability of political union between these two im portant colonies. At the banquet which took place at Albury this wean in celobra tioa of the opening of the bridge, Mr James Service stated that he would take an early opportunity of inviting the Government of Mew South Wales to consider a proposi tion for the political union of the two colonies. Until the bads of the pro posed unioa is known, it is needless to speculate as to how New South Wales will treat it. At the outset the proposal seems to be an admission that the former secession of Victoria was a mistake, and the fact that she should seek re-union witn the older colony seems to augur well for tha success of the negotiation?. Any such movement on the part of New -Sonth Wales wonld doabtLes* have been indignantly re i seated by Victorians, but the same feeling of piide will not operate in the case of New South Wales. There is, however, the question of Free Trade versus Protec tion, in regard to which the two colonies occupy the opposite poles, and it is difficult to see how any basis of political union can be provided which will be of sny real utility, and yet leave the qnostiou of tatifl's absolutely an open one, while it is next to impossible that the opposing views of tbe respective Governments on the subject! can be reconciled. Farther developments must be awaited therefore; but meanwhile this incident affords another proof of the growth of the Federal feeling among the Australian colonies. The rage for annexation, as we have already remarked, may prove a powerful factor in drawiDg closer the bonds of brotherhood among the colonies of Australasia. The whole seven colonies, including New Zealand and Tas mania, have united in making a prosing demand on the Imperial Government to annex the Sew Hebrides islands, and a feeling nearly as unanimous obtains 16 re gard to New Guinea. Lord Dorby is reported 'to be favourable to these proposals, but with regard to the New Hebrides particularly, is anxious

to know how much tbe several ( colonies will contribute towards the cost of! annexation. If the coloniis ' p»y the] piper," they will also claim tbe direction ot . tbo proceedings, so that if negotiations pr.iceed much further on the lines upon which they have statted we may have Australasian Federation realised for the government of those scattered islands of the Southern Pacific, which it is de sirable should be placed under regular role. For some reason—probably on ac count of misrepresentations regarding the labour traffic in the South Seas—the .Radi cal party in tho House of Commons strongly oppose the policy of annexation, which is being co vigorously urged by these colonies. Their action Is bated upon a complete misconception of the circumstances; for it is evident that whatever abuses exist in connection with too finding of labourers .aiming the different island*l, they only exist because of the want of regular and settled govern ment, and that the effect of an Australian' protectorate of the islands would be to con fer greater benefits upon the natives, and to correct any evils which have grown up under the present system. An influential deputation of Agents-General and others which is to wait upon Lord Derby in the matter will prsbably place the question before him in its true light, and help him in bis cfi'urts to obtain Imperial sanction for the proposal. Australasian federation in itself is not at present a necessity for any of the colonies or for all of them, but federation for the purpose of carry ing light and liberty into the dark places of the South Seas, and with a view to securing British interests against all comers, is a most laudable and desirable thing, and deserves to be rendered tin fait accompli.

The following telegram was received to day from the manager of the Sew Prince Imperial:- " ISOlba specimens from 3rd and 4th stopo No. 1 Section west, No. 5 level, '1 ho jewellery stolen from Mr Heniick sen's establishment hag not yet been dis« covered, A contingent; of tbo Skeleton Army paraded last night, and bad a inarch out along Ponsonby and College Koads. As they marched they yelled out the parody of a Salvationist bymn, the refrain to which was "Oh, the Ham, the Ham, the bleeding flam." There was a concertina and bones accompaniment, Angus Raynes, leiseo of the Hobaon Hotel, wan clurgod with supplying liquors to a lufan named Elsworth on Sunday during prohibited hour.-; but owing to the pressure of business at the Police Court yesterday, the hea>iag of the case was adjourned until Monday. A special sitting of the n.M. Court (of which we failed to receive any intimation) wan held yesterday before Mr 11. Q, Seth Smith, in order to bear the case of Phillipps and Sou v. Hammond. The action was brought to recover £20 19s 6d for goods short delivered, and for los< of the contents of odo cusk of Tarnish. Mr Theo. Cooper (instructed by Mr F. W. Brookfield) ap peared for the plaintiffs, and Mr J, IS, Kusaell and Mr Hugh Campbell tor the defendant. It twined (bat tho amount of the firtt item, £3 4s 3d, had been paid into Court, leaving tbe contest to be waged over the value of the alleged loss of varninh, viz , £17 11« 9d. Judgment was given for the plaintiffs for the sum claimed, with £5 13* coats. Mr Mackechnie, solicitor, of this city, who has for some time held the appoint ments of Commissioner of the Supreme Courts of Victoria and Queensland, has just received notification that Sir James Martin, ' bief Justice of New South Wales, has appointed him' to net in a similar capacity la concoction with the Supreme Court of the latter colony. Under these appointments Mr Mackechnie is empowered to take affidavits and evidence on commis sion when required for the Courts of the colonies named. Professor Tucker found occasion last night in the course of bis lecture at tho V.M.C.A. Booms to tcoro a point or two against tho lecil authorities upon the con dition of onr thoroughfares. Ho said that Sir Thomas More, in working out 11 "Utopia.," or tho I#inl o Ivowhere§ his ideas of a perfect State, would appear to have rolled his prophetic eye towards tbc Antipodes for inspiration. He prescribed for his labourers a working day of nine hours, to that they might have time for improving their minds for .study, and he al*o provided for a universal «y»tem of instruction, in both of w bich points we bad realised his dream. But there was another point in which wo altogether failed. More would conserve the public health by having clean, broad and wholesome streets ! The rebuke waa delicately given, and was evidently appreciated by the audience.

The efforts for the resuscitation of tho Trades and Labour Council are being coo tinned.

. Mr Orlando Mazzoleni gives a positive contradiction to the report that the tmm Bush, who died the other day in the Go vernor Browne Hotel, was Madame Cora's husband. He (ays that he was well ac quainted both with the deceased and with the Mr Bush who was Madame Cora's hus band. They wore two distinct pcrsois and and no relationship existed between them, Cora's soouso was a German from tbe United Statei.

The charge against John R, Purcell and James Mills for imposing upon lliomas Evans, according to the information, with intent to defraud, was heard at the Police Court yesterday afternoon. The charge was laid under the Vagrant Act, but the evidence showed that Mills was not implicated In the imposition. His Wor ship ruled that he could not convict Mills upon the evidence, although he bad to do with the proceeds of tho sale, viz., the cheque. Mills was therefore discharged, and Porcell remanded to gaol to await tbe issue of the remanded cases.

To the Editor: Sir, —May I request a notice in your valuable paper of a very great and increasing nuisance in the Pod sonby district, or ward, caused by cows being allowed to stray about the roads. Two or three times a week I have to drive from one to]three of them out of my grounds, after having suffered as much damage in half an hour from them as will cost pounds to replace, a great fiu-a was made about the nuisance of that piece ot innocent calico haogini? from Mr Uoombes's verandah, but none, co far, about thisintolrrable nuisance of straying cows, ■an it be because one of the City Councillors keeps one that has this annoying habit, and has had to be re* peatedly driven out of my place?— Your?, W.

Vcsterday evening the, monthly meeting of the Mount Eton Baud of .ops was held in the school-rioin, which w<is crowded. After opening (ho meeting with prayer, a v«rry creditable programme was gone through—viz., two songs from Mr Frith, speeches by MrMacdermott and Mr Waite, recitations by members, and a piece called "Glorious News " sung by seven members of the society, accompanied by the violin and harmonium. Altogether, it was one of tho most successful meetings of the society.

The first annual meeting of the com mittee of St. James's Presbyterian Band of Hope was held in St. James's Hall last evening, Mr T, Kichardson (vice-president) in the chair. The reports of the various officers showed the society to be in a very healthy and promising condition. There arc.at present about 120 members on the roll, and the average attendance at the meetinga during the past year was about 90. The election of officers for tho ensuing year resulted us follows :— President, Rev. 11. F. Macnicol (re-elected) ; Vice-presi dent, Mr T. Kichardson (re-elected) j Super intendent, Mr J. Weir, sen, ; Tieasurer, Mr J. Gow ; Seer?tary, Mr li. C. Mackie (re-elected); Registrars, Messrs Sinton and A. Weir; Collector, Mr J. Smyth.

The amount naked for the charter of the ] steamer Tongariro to lun down to the Austral on Thursday proved so extortion- ■ ate that Mr T. Henderson, the agent of the Orient Company, found it advisable to getouttheyachtKitaaudbireacrewtowork the vessel during tbe passage. On applica tion being made for the nso of the steamer, which w»s required for about two hours.tbe Tongariro's wharf manager asked far the sum of £10, which was naturally refused. Later on the Tongariro visited tho Austral with Mr ErringtnD. and Borne other gentle men connected with tho Harbour Board, and then Mr Wright, who appeared to have charge of the Topgariro, solicited passengers at a guinea each, for the return journey. It is almost needless to say that no guineas were forthcom ing. It is a great pity that there is no smsll steamer open to charter at a reasonable rate in caso of an emergency, for so loDg as such exorbitant charges as that alieady quoted are made they will be in little demand. Tbe matter is one well worthy of attention from both tho Si Helier'n Bay and oth< r companies.

The Maori* may bo said to bave attained the beau ideal of communists as regards the thfoiy of community of property, which principle they put extensively into practice. Nor ia the principle entirely restricted to their own clas.-, for occasionally wo find tho Mnorin willing to extcmt it so as to embraca pakehaa m their com munion. The Taranaki " Herald " re cords an instance cf this In the lact tbat_ a day or two ago the liconsea of a public house, who lost bU llui-i.se, was waited up"n by qu'te a large number of Maoriß who sympathised with him ia bin riiicfo - tuae, and st the same time offered him as a gift potatoes and cattle in order to help him ont of his trouble. This action on the part of' the unsophisticated children of nature seems to prove the justice of the publican's claim tor compensation when his licento ia withdrawn. A ratepayer sends the following account of a rather lively meeting held at -> voudule last nighi : At the meeting of the rate payers of the Polut Cbevaher Road Dis trict, held at the Great ■ otthern Hotel; on Friday oyeniug, Mr i-ob<»rt Ganett pro-' tested ayaiost any account or balance-sheet betDg dealt with at that mrolinc He (Mr Garrett) being one of the trustees appointed at the last annual meeting, resigned at the first meeting of the Board, as tho other four trustees were determined to givo permission for the boiling-down works near the City Waterworks. After his resignation, there was no other trustee <lected in his place, but the four gave permission to go on with tho erection of tho t.ompiny's build* tiu. Mr Garrett contended that all the acts ot the so-culled Board were illegal, and they wanted the ratepayers to pa»s ihoir accouuta and balance-sheet. Such balance-sheet and accounts had nof, however, rtcon nuditcd, and ho said it win necessary for the public auditor to audit the accounts. Mr James lii^nan, who hag been acting-chairman, contended it was not uecespary, as tho County Act was hung up in this county. Mr Crawford propped that tho meotiug bo adjourned till Ihursday evening next, to take legal opinion. After » stormy meeting, and all but blow;, with out attempting to elect a chairman, the meeting dissolved in anything but a satis factory manner. i lluding to the melancholy death of Mr C. L. Bdgnall, the "Thames advertiser" says :—" When his brother, Mr L. J. Bag null, walked down to tbo wharf to see what progress w.is being mado, he eonld find no trace of deceased. On the dock of the steamer was found the wood prepared for kindling the fire, as if he had been »n board, bat hsd returned for something he was needing. After vainly search ing the neighbourhood, he became alarmed, and roused the family and guests, who also made a fruit less examination of the river banks, and every place where it was supposed the raising man could be. About an hoar later Messrs O. 11. Kolton aod J. P, Cox were engaged in dragging uound the pant, when they found the body ot Mr Baguall lyitifc' under tho stern of the vessel in about four feet of water, Kolton at once plunged in and brought np the body, which was, of courtc, qnito Melees, having been, it is supposed, submerged moro than an hour. The grief of the friends and relatives was painful to behold, and the employees of the mill, with whom the deceased was a great favourite, added their share to the general lamentation, a n eye-witness describes the tcene upon the wharf at the most heart-rending he bad ever witnessed, ouch a sad termination to an evening's enjoyment affords a striking commentary, and food for reflection upon tbo uncertainties of human life. The deceased w.ih a young man fall of promise, having barely attained his 21st year. He was well known at the Thames, and had become a popular favourite by his winning nipnuorfi, makiug his way into all circles.

(FROM OUR SPECIAL REPORTER.)

WELLINGTON, this day. The Legacy Duty on Bequests. IN the House yesterday, SirGeo. Giey gave notice of a bill to render bequests to public Institutions free ot legacy duty. It is called the Stamp Act Amendment Bill. Ihe Rotorua Railway, It appears that the fruitless mission, if it were fruitless, of which I know not, of Mr J; McCosk Clark and Dr. Campbell, to Wel lington, bus been much chuckled over iv the Empire City, people aying that «uck land wania to imo the Island, and the chucklers are still further disposed to chuckle because Major AtJdusou, they say, has now become a Wellington man. Major Atkinson and Sir Qeo. . Grey. On Mr Montgomery asking the Treasurer tbe date of delivery of the Financial State ment, M»jor Atkinson replied :—When tbe Addresn-in-Keply to the speech which tbe Governor made to this House yesterday has been carried, if it should be carried without amendment, and when the Committee of Supply has been set up, which it will be after the address ha* been disposed of, and when the motion of the member for •* uck land City Kast relative to the Land Tax has been disposed of, I will then take an. early opportunity of making a statement to tbe House as to the mode In which the business of tbo Government will come be-, fore it. Sir George Grey subsequently twitted Major Atkinson on his haste to meet tbe motion re the Land Tax, which, last session, had been for two months on the order paper. If the Treasurer moved the House into Committee of Supply, he would not bring forward bin motion, but take a later oppor tunity of doing 80. Thia announcement had a visible effect on tbo House, and it ssouiod agreed that Sir George Grey scored a point against Major Atkinson. Work for the House. There were some thirty mu'rubers present yesterday afternoon. I never remember so much work being shovelled into tbe Houve so early in the session before. Ere the next week ie over, there will be quite a large Order Paper, lam not at all sure but what the Government >i« too strong, Recruits come from unexpected quarter*. The surface of the political water is as stag nant as that of a pool, but there are sullying elements underneath The dis turbance will come from our own province if it comes at all. The strength of Minis ters was manilested in their pertnees yes terday.

Prevailing Dullness. Everything is In a flat stair, and unprofit< able, here, save to tbe Civil Service, and will con'inue so until next week, wheu men and things will have fallen into shape. Wellington-Manatvatu Deben tures. I endeavoured to learn at what price the Wellinuton.Miinawatu Railway debentures were Bold by Sir Julius Vogel, but all I culd bear was that they realised above tho minimum price fixed by law. The General Post-Offl.ce. IV new Po«t Office is well advanced, It contains nome 80 windows, is built of brick, and crowneii with a wooden erection not unlike the top of a Chinese pagoda, tbe deformity of which i« not even relieved by a clock. Opposition to East Voast Land Company. The foes of the East Coast Land Uom pany are already in the field, and Southern men have been mostly all t»ld that it is a Sjiaoic device, with the devil installed as directors. It U most amusing to hear mauy talk and «eek to look wise on this matter, n >t koowine aught about tbe thine; they condemn. How far some of the Ministry are responsible for this tuition, I bave at yet bad no cbance of learning. The Financial Statement Ready Tie " Times" Rays it has reason to bcliave that the Financial Statement was nearly ready before the opening of Parlia ment. The Reported Lnion of the Opposition, The " Times " also denies that Mr Mont gomery bas cousented to take a back seat and allow sir George Grey to lead tbe Oppositien. An Auckland Petition. Sir George Grey yesterday presented a petition from Mr Greenleaf, mariner, of Auckland, praying for relitf. The petitioner was imprisoned for non-payment of costs in a nautical enquiry into tbe loss of the cutter Mary Ellen, of which he was master. 2'fte " Post" on the Speech. The " Evening Post" called the Gover nor's speech " vapid and inane." Kg elective Upper Hou-e,' tlu "Post" says : " It Is yet, to be rh'own how tbe Upper House can be rendered a more thoroughly representative body of the kind lequirrd than by its members beta? practically chosen, as at present, by a committee re presenting the Souse of Kopresunutlves. Atl-ast, it has to be shown bow this can oe effected without creating a body possess ing a representative status »o nearly co ordinate with that of the other House a» materially to increase the usk ef conflicting authority." Disfranchisemetit of Wellington. There is every probability that a motion this session will be brought forward to disfranchise a portion of WellinKton dis trict following the Washington procedure. it i.- found that this is almost imperative ia oixisequence uf the constant and pertinacious preKSure W<ilhugtou members have over all Governments. There is a firm conviction in ttie mercantile mind that tbe railroad from Auckland will come by the middle route, as it is called, and it laughs at the, probability of the Moknn and'Te Awamutu ' line having any chance, of being adopted,: so sure is tbe belief in the capacity of the people to influence the Governmaut. There, is no improvement in the city, or very; ■little, since tie Houte rose last year. * Travelling School Inspectors. Mr Hutchison asked tho Minister of Edu cation if be hud had his attention directed to the improvement that might be effected in the inspection and educational method of public schools by the periodical removal t<f the inspectors of one district to another, thus giving each district in turn the benefit of the varied experience of several inspector*, and if, on consideration uf the sub ject, he wi<l ■ take the steps necessary to carrying the suggested im provement into practice. One of tbe ob jects of the Miguestud improvement was, that inspectors continually in a district were apt to contract dislikes against, teachers. Th« Minister of education, in replying, admitted >he weight of tho argnments use*, but poin'ed out that the adoption of the enggestlon would necessitate an amendment of the education Act. To work such a system effectually, all the^in'pectors would have to come under the control of the Inapector-Ueneral of Edu atioo. He had no iotenti n of introducing a bill to amend the education Act thin session. Ihe Caution to Railway Em ployees. Mr Hutchison, in asking the question, whether tbe caution issued to railway em ployes not to hold communication with members ia regard to grievances, w«s merely a menace to heads of depart ments, or whether it was seriously pro posed to dismiss workmen seeking redress. Ho said one of tho workmen of the service had b en dismissed with a curt notice that he was not good enough for the woik. He questioned if any private employer would Dismiss a man like that. The Minister of Works, replying, said the rale applied to the whole Civil Service. Notice of dismissal in the case mentioned ffiuht have been more happily worded, but no doubt if the case was euquired into, it would ba found the man deserved dis missal. Bills. Nothing of interest transpired in connec tion 'with first leadings of Dills. The fol lowing dates were fixed for second read ings t—Sic 'CO. Grey's Annexation Bill, July 4th ; Privilege of Members, July 2nd ; Affirmation in Lifm of Oaths, July 4th; Legal Practitionesr, Jane 20tb; Constitu tion Act Amendment, Jnue 23th. Mr M. VV.
