The Southland Times. TUESDAY, JUNE 14, 1864.

We havo shown how the Provincial Council at ita last- session, after a long struggle to obtain something like Constitutional Government and impose .some '"check to the further development of arbitrary power on the part of the Superintendent, was foiled in its endeavors by unwisely trusting His Honor. To have refused to pass the Appropriation Ordinance until the Executive Council and Representation Ordinances were assented to by the Superintendent, would havo argued a singular want of confidence in His Honor, aud placed the Council in a somewhat anomalous position. Events proved that such a course was the only one they could have pursued to obtain their object. Doubtless the lesson will not be thrown away. The Executive Council Ordinance, passed by the Council, was copied from the Otago one, which, having been in force for some time in that Province, and having been found to answer the desired purpose veiy well, was not unnaturally expected to suit our own necessities, more particularly when the history of that Ordinance was taken into consideration. The Province of Otago started with an Executive Council Ordinance, somewhat similar to our present defective Provincial Council one. It was not very long before a Superintendent, somewhat similar in his notions of arbitrary power as His Honor of Southland, awakened the Provincial Council of Otago to the necessity of passing a new Ordinance, which, while it defined beyond ambiguity the relative position of Superintendent and Council, confined the powers of the former within such limits as were necessary for the public safety. This was effected by the Executive Council Ordinance, 1861 ; the 2nd clause of which is as follows : — " The administration of the Provincial Executive Government is hereby vested in the Superintendent, who shall act only by aud with the advice and consent of an Executive Council, the members of which shall be appointed by the Superintendent, and hold office during his pleasure. The Superintendent, when present, shall preside, and shall have a deliberative as well as a casting vote in all its acts and proceedings ; and no act or resolution of the Executive Council shall have any effect unless two members besides the Superintendent b.e present ; and in the absence of the Superintendent from any cause, a member of the Executive Council, to be chosen by themselves, shall preside in the place of the Superintendent." Even this was considered not sufficiently binding, and we find in 1863 another [ Ordinance passed, which still more strictly confines the powers of the Superintendent and asserts the authority of the^ Council. | Clause 5 states —^"With a view of insUrr y ing', the efficient discharge of theYdiities L rathe several departments of theGqvernf |pent, and the aM^. developments of " the . [^rincipleyof. ministerial responsibility, the respective powers and duties of tte .Superintendent and of his Executive Council, in all matters- iii which such

powers are derived, from', and are subject io, tlie control o£ the Provincial Council, arid are not regulated by express enactment, may, from time to time, be defined and regulated by resolution of the Provincial Council," assented to' by ""the Superintendent." . ■- The Executive Council Ordinance passed last session was stigmatized as absurd — contrary to the Constitution Act, and without precedent ini-jSTew Zealand, &c, &c, by ,tho only journal at that time in existence in Invercargill. The Council was ridiculed for passing it. His Honor's impertinences to the House wore termed " fine .irony,", himself "a " natural chief," until a mind' prone by nature to act arbitrarily was unfortunately encouraged in the course which hasYended so fatally for the- interests *(sthe. Prqyince. As to the Ordinance ;being unconstitutional, we can only, repeat that it is a fac-simiteAoi the ' i on& in force l in Otago. As regards ite reducing the Superintended to the position 'of^ chairman of a municipality, if the Siiperintendent 'of Otago condescends to govern in accbrd&neie with its conditions, we.Ythinky His. Sonar .pf Southland could, very yNj^d^ov^6Y^A^\& same.% The .Province 6f.'.'^tagp (^s.'fpi^na-e in.having apian of sound common/sense and considerable business aptitude.;^lnstead of fighting with Jhis Council- as. to his dignity ,and .position, Mr. Harkis wisely conceives it to be' the duty of a Superintendent,? • as, theY first Executive* Officer in the, Province, to carry into! execution the will pfrthe, majority, of the! House, instead of dictating, to it wbat?it ; should do. ISTor is it' r ' merely iii purely Provincial matters that Mr. Hisxiis seeks; the advice and assistance of his Executive. The powers .under : the ; Groldfields'* Act are delegated by the- Groverrior to thei Superintendent. In, the Provincial Council of Otago, on the! eveinirig ofthe Bth inst., in answer to a question, from Mr. Yo^el; as to who was responsible for the control* of the goldflelds, "the Provincial Secretary said the Superintendent invariably consulted his Executive: in all matters connected with, the., goldflelds, and for all matters in which they gave! their decisions they were responsible." Another member of .the Ministryi Mr. Adams, said, "the .relations of thes Executive with His Honor the Superintendent were, that in all matters connected with the goldflelds they were to be consulted." If a Superintendent of an old Province does not think it beneath his dignity to govern under such an Ordinance, surely a Superintendent under the ISTew Provinces' Act might. The former is elected by the people, the latter is the creature of the \ Council's creation. It is ridiculous to talk about the difficulty of fixing the blame of our present position on anyone. That in the case of the " shin-plaster " episode, His Honor could not have anything to do with it, "because according tp the new philosophy, lie merely obeyed instructions.'* That " those who were foremost in insisting on the establishment of a ' Ministerial ' Government, now, they have got it, are most persistent in fixing all the blame of bad government upon the Superintendent." "Y Ministerial Government" is jusVwhat^ we have not got. There is no difiieulty" in fixing the blame. The Council endeavored to introduce the spirit of constitutional government. His Honor refused his assent to the Bill, and thereby gave the best guarantee of his determination to govern despotically. He has accepted the responsibility ; when he meets the Council probably he will repent his temerity. The Council was dissolved, arid His Honor, backed by his own headstrong will and the approbation of the so-called " Press," assumed the functions of " our natural chief." The horizon was soon clouded. The Bank in which the G-overn-ment account was kept beginning to grow restive, it became necessary to look elsewhere for assistance. The account was changed. Suddenly demands were made on the Bank which had not been anticipated ; all calculations were upset by the magnitude of these demands, and they could not be satisfied. It would appear that the necessity of ascertaining the exact amount of the contracts already entered into, the probable time when they would be finished, and payment be required, never entered into the heads of either His Honor or the newly appointed Treasurer ; thus no provision was made for liquidating liabilities as they fell due. There was still time to go to the Gene? ral Government for assistance-— to explain frankly our position. The railway works were not yet stopped — the financial crisis had not aa yet come to a head. But His Honor, madly trusting,to the Debentures' Bill for £120,000 being , assented tp by the Governor, feeling disinclined meeting the General Government after having broken faith with it by misappropriating the Railway Loans — deferred. Now comes a series of wild schemes to stave off the evil day — the brilliant conception of the " shin-plasters"— borrowing a few hundreds from any or all the banks which would ', lend, on the security of the land sales — a hand-to-mouth financial jpoliey, if such it can be called. In the midst of all thesemiserable subtei'fuges, there was one gleam of hope. The mail which brought down , the information that the £120,000 loan was disallowed, also conveyed the assentof the G-overnor to the £40,000 "Railway Loan. There was but one course to be pursued,— to secure ■ it -for its legitimate purpose. The public creditors were ready to pounce upon it. The only way to put it out of their power to seized was to convey it oyer to a. , trustee mutually appointed hy thei contractor for the Northern Bailway. and the Government, and with it as security to obtain a - sufficient advance froari one pf the bank-k to ; open,' before; *the : Northern as far as the Makarewa. We believe this course was suggested to the Supenntendent.;Y His y Honors however* had mis-appropriated for ordinary expenf diture • so v xauch of the; Tfoilw&y Loans already, that the ..temptation to get a fewthousands more, with which to pay off the more pressing immediate liabilities, was tod tempting ;Y he therefore undertook;

the negotiation of tlie Debentures! M Judging from the past, weTare ine]in.e^.,Xg^B think that His Honor's "financial anilitfesY-V are more in accordance^ with those in vogue in the good times of the Middle ■ "Ages; than with the jiresen't. J "Th"en~my Lord Baron, when pressed for the- p circu- ' lating medium,- had only to send for the richest Jew in his dominions, and by; the extraction of a few teeth, with perhaps a mild appliance of the thumb-sqreAys, re_lieved his necessities. The civilization of the nineteenth century, however, is adverse to this simple method of extrication from i a financial difficulty. His Honor tried ': his hand at business, and got most woefully beaten. He entered what is termed the " sweating room," with £40,000 worth of Debentures, and came out with the promise^ of from seven - to ten thousand pounds. Before, he entered there was some hope of the 'railway works being continued ;- when he came out ;he left hope behind. Thirty thousand • pounds of railway Debentures had gonfe, : where so much had gone before.- - Even . the loan to the Town Board of £6-,000 1 was paid out of them. And so the last scene closes, "saws everything." Driven ; at last to do what every dictate of common | sense and good policy would have induced j him to, do months ago, His Honor the j Superintendant has gone 'up to Auckland ' to seek relief from the General Govern- ! ment. It is difficult to say what good it I will do fbr us, what view it will take,~"»vhen | it ascertains that it has been deceived, that I .the loans which it has so liberally; granted, : have been misappropriated. Perhaps the best thing that coiild happen would be, • if the Grovernor suspended' Hi\ Honor, sent down a member "of f the Ministry to I impress the Land and Customs'^ Bevenuei until the dissolution of the Council irt October, and opened accredit for us with the Banks, to enable the railway works to be resumed. Such a course, if humiliating to us, will f have the' advantage of* restoring public confidence, and .prevent a continuance of the wild extravaganc.es and miserable want of foresight which has characterised the administration -of publics afiairs during tne last few months.

One embezzlement case was postponed", until Friday -first, for tho \ production of material evidence from the Bluff. We have received a communication from a" gentleman who has the best means of ascertaining what is being done on Switzer's" diggings,' and we, have overy confidence iri his statements. Switzer's * diggings, says he, now comprise, besides the; original workings, the winding creek about three; miles to the east, aud the Dome, about five or six miles to the north-west. V There are , not . moro than 300 people altogether at' th'o tlivdo places, but notwithstanding tliis small popidation, the agent for the Bank: of New Zealand at the Wakatip has been visiting the place. ;ori"cei a fortnight and: takes away, to my knowledge, 10, 12, and l-llb. weight of gold each time, aridliesayshc^does not get all the gold that is being got thero. Tliere are about 20 miners now on tlie old Switzer-s diggings who are earning, . by ; their . own . account. £4 per man per week. , These parties . state that if riien would only stick there, there is plenty of gold to be got. It is a good winters' diggings, there being plenty of timber and very little snow. Provisions aro moderate in price, y :?'■. V Tho Tuapeka correspondent of the Bruce Herald gives the following account of mining operations in that district : — "The. celebrated Blue Spur is' still maintaining its proud position. Tho Otago Gold Mining Company's 'claim is being worked with vigor. It is a beautiful sight to see the water pouring over a precipice 120 high, and as it spreads itself over the face and descends iv white foaming streams and foaming spray, the Scene is beautiful. The water discharges itself in ■tho gully through a channel cut through the solid rock, 100 feet long by 30 feet deep — a work accomplished by great labor rind expense. Through the wholo of tliis face, from top to bottom, stones are frequently met with something different to any hi the locality. Their wholo surface is as smooth as if polished by the lapidarjv Geologists account for such as having been carried to their restingplace on floes of ice,' and that ice was the polishing ugeiit. Stones of a similar character are to bo found only on the West Coast, pro ving unmistakoably that the whole of this district was, at ono time, either an inland lake, an arm of the sea, or a river bf considerable' size. I ani inclined myself to the belief that a large lake" existed here, as the deposits aro decidedly lacustrine. Trunks of trees aro also found. The Totara is in good state of preservation, but the Kaikatea or white gum is completely decayed^ This claim would present an object of interest to tho geologist It is very evident from the number of claims and leases taken up on tliis fepot, that the dividing range between Gabriel's •■and Mdnr'd's, will be completely anniiiilatcd, although it will take many years ero this is accomplished ; aud I have no doubt this will bo one of the busiest spots in the Province for years to come. When other diggings will be a thing* of the past, this will be . the seat of industry and enterprise, giving employment to hundreds, and enriching many: Snow is at this moment falling fast, and the evening has a wintry appearance — ploughing ia the order of the day." A disgraceful scene lately occurred in the AssenVbly of the Provincial Council of Otago at Dunedin. Mr. J. G. S. Grant (tho self-styled advoiSte of the working man's cause, the -only scholar iri the Southern Hemisphere, and the -only mftn iit the nine Provinces' fit to stand in the Governor's shoes!) mustered a strong body of the "unwashed," and entered St. George's Hall For the purpose of presenting a petition on their behalf. The Daily .Netos (Dunedin) has the following paragraph on the subject: — "In the Provincial Council yesterday, the notorious J. G-. S. Graiit came to grief, and in ono short hour learnt by experience the emptiness of the frothy popularity he. had laid himself out to obtain. It appearsj by liis tfwn" statement, that ho volunteered pi head it demonstration aiid beard the Council in its dcit, provided always that liis adherents •would not allow him to be seized and swallowed 'whilst in' the of hi 3 self-imposed darigerbu9 s crraud. Like the non-combatant Quaker, who threw an enemy into the sea that "was attempting to board his ship, with the remark, ' friend; '. Thou art not wanted here,' so did the liero of the hour breathe peace, but endeavored toincite disturbance. The crowd Wero to bo peccable, but were not to allow hnn to be ' seized.' . A tacit understanding on this head having been come to, Grant marched boldly to the attack, and commenced by addressing his followers, and ignoring the Speaker. When called to order, lie said lie had. a memorial to preseut, and on refusing' to hold his peace, the Speaker handed ■ him over . to the . tender mercies of Sergeant Grennan, who forthwith locked him up. An appeal was made by .the captive to the braves who had promised hot to. permit 'seizuro,' but it was unheeded, and he was ignominiously marched off, the colossaL sergeant evidently having a most pacificatory effect on the popular mind. The upshot was, that' Grant was incarcerated, and no One attempted a disturbanco on lv's behalf. He was subsequently brought up, and gladly saved his bacon by adopting a mqst abject apology, written for his special, behoof , by members of the Council. As might be. -expected, ho complained bifcterly'of the ingratitude of his friends, and intimated his intention : of deserting them, as they had deserted him in his need, and, in future, attending to his ' duties.' ; What those ' duties ' aro, he best knows ;, but the working men will be largely the gainers by his . secession from their cause, arid it is to bo hoped ho will not recant." The Bruce Herald says— "We regret to have to record the disappearance, under circumstances wliich but too clearly 'indicate liis'probable fate, of Mr. Willocks, an oldjmd well-known settler hi he Clutha district. Last Monday week, the unfortunate man lef tthe Clutha Ferry to go to his •house on the island. A Mr. -Duncan accompanied him, ancl they parted close to the house, Willocks . saying that he would go in by the backdoor. Mr. Duncan then left him, and the unfortunate man has never been seen since. . It is but. too probable • that he fell into the Molyneux, whicli flows close to the houso. Under tlie. direction of Sergeant Cobderi, the river has been dragged for several days, but no traces of the missing man have been found." *' : : On Wednesday (says the Dunstan Times), a 'poor dvvarfed specimen of humanity was seated near a dwelling in our main street, and while pondering on the evil effects of ardent liquors, aa practically, illustrated in himself at tne time, he fell fast asleep.
