AucKiAND, This day. High legal authorities pronounce the West Coast proclamation as illegal, and before any further confiscation can take place fresh legislation is necessary. It is feared if Te Whiti is taken there is no restraining power to stop the natives proving troublesome, and dangerous. Serious differences are existing between the Governor and Ministers over the West Coast business. The latter is looked upon here as an election move.
Swanson is to be opposed, and O'-Rorke also. A Grey candidate is certain to be brought out for Waipa. It is rumored that Brodie is coming up to consult old Whitaker re Coromandel.
Sheehan is expected in the Manuka on Sunday.
Grey has been invited to cod test several Southern seats, including that for which the Premier is a candidate.
The war leader in to day's Herald is universally condemned.
Swanson, it is f stated, is desirous to see Sheehan run for Waitemata.
Later wires from Wellington go to show that Ministers' resignations are not improbable, as Biyce's contention is that Sir Arthur Gordon is no longer Governor. This savors as disloyal to the Queen's representative in New Zealand. The Governor being fully independent of either of the Colonial Cabinet or the Home Government will no doubt take his stand and firmly adhere to it.
