The Ascendancy of the Jews.—lt is rather a singu’ar thing how the Jews are at the fore in w>any places. For examble. Disraeli is a Jew, Go-mhen (the Liberal leader next to Gia ’stone) is a J-w, Gambetta a Jew, Castelar, n Jew, and even in New Zealand we have a Jew Premier.

His Honor the Superintendent has replied to the chairman of the anti-eduea-lion tax meeting in Auckland (Mr. Reader Wood), who enclosed the resolution passed recommending that the education tax should be paid out of the grant of £25,000 from the General Government.

Mb. George McCullagh Reed has forwarded to his Honor the Superintendent (says the Herald) his resignation as Provincial Treasurer, which lias beenaccepted. The resignation has not been sent in on account of any political differences between the Treasurer and the members of the Executive. The utmost cordiali y has prevailed since the members were chosen by 7 his Honor the Superintendent, and the Government team have pulled well together, a fact which is admitted in the correspondence which has passed upon the subject. Mr. Reed, we believe, resigned because he felt that he was unable to give sufficient time to bis official duties without materially neglecting his private interests.
