Auclclanrt Harbour Bill

The Auckland Harbour Bill was further considered in Committee.—Mr O'Connor moved to strike out tlio clauso proposing to pay tho Chairman.—Mr Dakoavillb op posed the motion on the ground that tho duties of tho Chairman wero arduous, and payment was nocos.-i.iry to insure tho duo I'a.liiimeiit of the duties.-Col. Tumble saw no reason why the Chairman of the Auck land Board should be treated exceptionally, and if this Chairman should bo paid, thore should bo an amendment in the Harbour Act so that all Chairmen should be paid. -Captain SUTTKH also opposed the pay ment of tho Chairman, saying that ho bo lieved it was tho custom of the Auckland Chairman to run aftor masters of ships and ask thorn up to hia house.—Mr I'isacock urged that the clauso should pass.—Mr O'Connor said what was required for tho Chairman was a man of business, not an individual who would flunkey round uf'or porsons o* importance. Ho objected to the breaking through of tho principle of the Harbour Act, and scouted tho idea that a nun of money should bo paid out of revt-mool Board for the entertainment 01 -.trangera. If Iho citizens could not enter tain victors, let them pay a M.C. for the purposo of entertaining vU-ters.-Mr TURNIiUIX followed in v similar .train.—Mr 0 uic wiiaiai: considered tho objection to tho c_iu«o un reasonable. However, if tho Com mitteo would not allow tho representatives ot Auckland io know what the opinion ol tho people of Auckland was, ho thought thoy should ut once decldo th.c mattor. -Air Fisi.Kßsaidttiohoppitftlitipeof ft city wero usually dispensed by tho Ut.yoi.-m HiniM- took tho same view as Mr Darga villo, saying that tho Auckland Board dealt with yearly the sain of ..uU,009 or i.0,000, and tho duties of Chairman wore onerous, and likely to increase >car by year. Ho pointed out that not a singlo local man opposed tho proposal.—Mr PEACOCK paid that tho amount of salary proposed might bo reduced.—Mr lloees alluded to tlio daiu-er of making tho position honorary, and pointed to the recent defalcation, in connection with tho Auckland Grammar School, where tho Chairman had acted with out salary.—Mr O'Connor said that when thij Board could not got a man to perform the duties of phMr).*a*i .'itjjout pay, then they should como to tho Ifoil-p.—Mf Dpp* ids argued iv favour of loaviiig tho clause unaltered, and tho power in tho hands of the Board.-Mf T. TilO.Ml.Oii said that tho matter might fairly l^o leittc thp Board, though good business men could not expect tiiwu*s to bo found in tho ranks of those who could afford to give their timo for nothing.—On division, thu oUuao *'M struck out by '>- to gO, Several other •jf-aetidinouts wero mado, and tho bill sag read a third timo and passed.

CORRESPONDENCE.

The Social Bict.

(To the Editor.)

Sir.,—The fearful facts that havo beon de tailed to your readers respecting the social evil aro calculated to produce painful, and oven despondent, feelings ii) tho mind of pveyy thoughtful eitiseu. A great amount of injury will bo done ta many by tho im pure pictures thut uro being portrayed by your loportor ; but filthy stages cannot be cleansed of their impurities without taint ing the air wo aro compelled to breathe. Yet it ia better t) endure this evil for a while than to have tho filth accumulating until a moro fearful calamity bofall us. Since tho ovil is now known to exiat, lot us as true Christian citizens set ourselves earnestly to work to subdue tho mon-tor, liret by prosecuting tho occupiers and ownors of places whore opou profligacy is known to cxitt known at least to tho police —but tho polirc nro powerless unless the lioneli and the citi/.t.is t-,ro determined to sustain -horn. True, \yit|; rogard to hgo wa do require moi-o .tr'ipgbnt laws on' this subject; but laws of coercion are quite uselc-fia unless thoy are sustained by public sentiment, and here tho work of tho Church is needed, for we want inert and women to practise the example of our Divine Saviour-not tho sickly sent-- Loentalism that often pusses for Christianity, which, liko the prieit and the Leviie, would leavo tho poor fellow that fell amongst thieves, and pa?e him by on tho other sido ; but lot professors ot religion seek ta pro duce a Llivinc change in the heart and lifo of theso poor degraded ones Good is boing done, at.tl now is tho timo lo do it, when men's minds nro roused on ihe subject. It is useless to denounce t(io' evil imlcsp wp sot out ai onco to remedy and removo it. Secondly, aa individual citizens, let us seek by practice as well as precept to put away from ourselves and others tho food upon which this glaring evil feeds. Drink strong drink—is tho food upon which this social ovil lives. The poor wretched women could not livo-the livo. they do without the drink, lam told, and I believe it, that in some of the houses of ill-fame strong drink is supplied without limit to both fexo, ss long (is money is found to purchase. The pulic. know this, but again they are powerless until public sentiment is raised to the proper level, .md until men and women pi-efessing Chris tianity put away this accursed thing from their own tables, and ceaso to give the diinkto their friends; otherwise tho evils arising from this souivo will remain uniongst the higher as well as the lower classes. h\ conclusion, 1 wish to ask my fellow-citizens to put to themselves tho uld question, " _ni I my brother's keeper '.
