ANOTHER ACCUSATION. The deed of shame which we predicted has been done. Mr Hamlin, the admirable Chairman of the Committees on Native Affairs, has been deposed to make room for Colonel Trimble, whose, sole qualification for the office appears .to us to he, that.he hj a Ministerial claquer. . Colonel Trimble is virtually “ a pew arrival, ” in the colony, and last session was his firstin Parliament. His knowledge of the Native language and the Native affairs must be of the most meagre character. Mr Hamlin, on ’ the other, hand, is a firist-rate Maori linguist; he knows as much about Maori .business as any man in New Zealand, with one or two exceptions ; he was an able ’and energetic chairman. In fact his only !,k fault ’’ was that his opinions were not “ correct.”—VVel. Chronicle.
