V; r^BOM OUB OWN COBBESPND2NT.] ,'.rThe:election of ra councilldr;for the vacant ■eat ; of the. Horowhenua Riding m the doimty. Council .took place .last week, and passed, off very quietly. Whether this is to be attributed to the recently imposed tax oh Jbeer having curtailed the usual allowance of that beverage Vto the free and independent electors,, or- whether it waa a foregone conclusion that Dr. Hewson would be the successful candidate, I cannot say, but am inclined to think the latter, for .nearly everyone declared the Doctor was sure Id win and that Mr Davis, m the language of the turf, would be "nowhere." In consequence, nearly everyone neglected to pay the Returning Officer a visit, except _tfr '^-Davi-v who certainly; had four vote's to dispose of; but it issomevrhat doubtful if " -,lhey were recordediri favor of his opponent, Oand the same" might be sa\d of the votes of M^ colossal Maoris he. trotted out. Nevertfeless Dr. Hewson was returned at the head of the poll, showing that some of the "Otaki people are not to be caught napping. "From the foregoing it may be concluded that the electors of this district are not inclined to be excitable and turbulent ; indeed - the ' propp-ed triennial election, of Pafliament: might be even iritroduoed without ■eriously disturbing their equanimity ; and if further proof is required, I may mention that Vat a irieeting here a f«w days ago, for the election of a member to represent the Diocesan Synod, only two /gentlemen attended, one of whom. proposed the other as "a fit and- proper," and a third party at the • last moment appearing on the scene, evk dently under the influence of some unnatural excitirig cause," managed' to: f' second," but the .proposed and. 'seconded dec}ined fr the honor, arid' the result was that Mr liow,- of WeUingtonj who has of late represented us m the Diocesan Synod, had to be re-elected. The i Working: Men's ;Club, ; which was started here by some-philanthropic gentlot - inerii' promises; to be a BtaccesaVandif not earned on on the strictest temperance principle, ■ is, m pother respectSjiireprOa'chable. "Only the other day a wquld : be member was introduced to. the Club, and probably, he would; haye r been admitted ;Vbut m an t evil^momerit he proposed, a quiet .game .of., '•.poker" with a ,niem_er Tioted for his algriityV arid "?great sense of propriety. . Now,- 1 am given to understand that " poker "is a very deraora'lisiriggame of cards, at which a great deal of money can be lost m an incredibly short tapacehf tiriie. It is., therefore, not surprising that the Otaki Club objected to sucli'a game ; and some of " the members waxetl; Wroth: and clamored for the expulsion of aj man with Bnclf a dangerous proclivity, but; others pbiiitedbiit that he must be first ad : ; mitted a member.
