NATIVE AFFAIRS.
(From the Press Correspondent.) Wellington, March 24 A telegram has been received by Government from the Wuimate Plains, stating that the Maori had seized some horses belonging to a contractor for road work, and refused to give it up except on payment of L2. Tlie affair possesses no significance, being one of the minor annoyances which are to he expected under the circumstances, which the Europeans on the Plains find themselves placed in. Everything that has come to hand goes to prove, however, that whatever project the Maoris may have for the stoppage of roadmaking (if they do entertain any such idea) they have no intention of resorting to physical force. Still, as I have previously pointed out, things are in a state of considerable uncertainty, and it is impossible to predict definitely what a day may bring forth.
