Parliamentary Gossip.

FfiOM OVS OVK CORBEBPONDENT.)

Welmnoton, Saturday.

'There are some things that ought to be said about the Eeimenschneider embezzlement case which do not appear in the papers laid before the Council. When the matter was laid before the Premier in last October,'early in the .month, he handed the case over to the Prosecutor. It was tbenjibund out that Mokene Eohere had given the interpreter an order to receive his money, constituting him his agent, as it were, by which be was shielded from the charge oft malversation of, public money. H« was indebted then oaly to his principal, and could be proceeded against only civilly. Reimenschneider was £345 in debt to Witaki J^atata, who. when be had secured the payment of the amount, informed Mokene of what he had done, when it was found out that the interpreter also owed Mokene over £700, which he still does, and is likely to do. Mokene has no redress, and has to lose his money; there may be a fuss in the Lower House on the subject, but that can avail nothing to get him his money. I The Government found the interpreter, and paid, him, and the natives trusted him. Considering that" 1" the Council is the highest Court in the land, it seems unfortunate to have happened thus. Reimenschneider was a great favorite with Ministers, being Rolleston's man at Parihaka. This case seems quite as bad as the selling of the office of Sergeant-at-Arms in the Lower House. The seller retiring on a pension, and the Government conniving at the transaction.

Provincialists ar%lmuch elated over the division this morning, not so much on account of the number polled, but that they have at last laid down a line, as they call it, and hoisted » flag to fight under.

This day.

There is a loud rumor here that Messrs Bryce and Bolleston are conspiring with Wright and others against their colleagues, and in order to form a new party with Montgomery's people. I believe it to be true.

fiietnenschuieder, the interpreter, is not dismissed, he was only suspended; he drew his pay until March last.
