POLITICAL NOTES.
(own correspondent.) Wellington, yesterday. The 45 officers named by the Comptroller. General as seeming to him to have been appointed contrary to the provisions of the Act were, some of them, receiving salaries of £lOO per annum, others 10s per diem. Mr Carroll has a motion on the Order Paper to ask the Native Minister on whose instructions, or by whom were the extracts of evidence in the Owhaoko case, which have recently been furnished to members, selected. Sir George Grey’s slashing criticism of the Opposition during his speech on the Vogel embroglio is still talked about, and it no doubt done much to strengthen Mr Thompson’s position. Since the failure of the Protectionists to force the hand of the Government they seem to have given up all hopes of doing anything this session.
