AUCKLAND NATIVES
The Native Agent, Major Mair. reports of the Auckland District for the year as follows: —"Native affairs are comparatively in. a satisfactory stale. The large reductions made a few months since in the salaries of native officials ami pensioners produce in some instances a little soreness, and there were not wanting gratuitous advisers who fostered this feeling and made it their business to impress upon the Natives that it was the beginning a policy of oppression under which the Maoris would gradually loose all their rights. This soreness has in a groat measure passed away. It was explained to them that it was necessary for the general welfare that large reductions in the expenditure of the colony should be made, and also that European officers suffered as well, besides which tlia Natives recognized (ho fact that none of them ever performed any duty worth naming, and (hat the sourc e which gave had a right to take away.”
