The information conveyed by us in last nightY issue- ■ that His ; Excellency the ; Governor had sent for Mr Ormond—the correctness of which has had some doubt thrown on it—to advise him concerning the construction of a Cabinet ;. that the latter had recommended that Sir Julius Vogel should be sent for, and the confirmation of Sir Julius being entrusted with the formation of a Mioistry-e-which Will be seen b*jr a reference to our telegraphic columns-r-did not surprise many people, and under the present peculiar circumstances surrounding the political situation < the course taken was perhaps the best one that could have been resorted to. Speculation, has, to a limited extent only, been rife as to how the Gordian knot should be cut; how the peculiar problem solved; and, although there was little doubt that Sir Julius Vogel could form a Ministry, and a strong one, it is beyond question that all will not be smooth water for him and his confreres for a short time to come. We some time npo indicated what direction ■tto.-forniaiion;:waß;likejj;.tOj'.takeand'Whb- >jwould probably be members of it, and eren now we see; little reason ', to change the opinion we expressed "as io: the names of the coming men; the only alteration we; would be disposed to make, if any be requisite, would be to perhaps omit the names of one or two members of the departing Atkinson Government from the list. There cannot be any great doubt that a new Cabinet to stand will contain the jnamei of Vogej, Stout, Eichardsonjßallance, Ormpnd, and it is probable with the addition of Bryce, Atkinson, andf very ; likely Mitcheit^ tion there is not a shadow of a doubt that a very stro a g following would be secured in the House; a party would sit on the right hand side of the Speaker which could depend on a rery powerful majority, and useful; legislation would ; bej pro« ceeded With. seems to be a fear existent that the advent of Sir Julius Yogel to office presages heary borrowing, but it must be remembered that the worthy Knight^if a Minister-—will only; be an individual member of a Cabinet, and with soicli: cautious^politicians and careful members '::::aa^M(M^ii:-i:^pini6ndt\ Btbuli^Ballancei and others : likely to be allied to him, ;any chariJieH;pf ;imprudc!nce^ JB^Vthat; direction, is,. coniaidt^jrjably: mini;; raised; and there catt bei Httle^doubt ithat were thingsrtoitakie. an unhealthy turn in J thematter of extravagance^ erea with the Tery, improbable jacquieseenceiof such ::men^;there.E would:,;' b^:v founds' strength; enougli in^Hpuie|t^ check: unhealthy legisiat'oTd undesirable 'expenditure.; Want of materialiupon;which to base an argument adverse to tho roturn to power Julius can only bo: offered as an excuse -for^using^ such paltry and absurd as;" ft eedy ad ventarer," " Self-seeking - x)ffice»hunter," aiid similar " terms^^ Has : the colony for^otten.how:willingly•;it embraced 1 the : Public Works policy,'■and used the brains of this" so-called -"needy 'V one, in days gone by? -He was as needy then as nbw; and ihad* not v the^ experience ; he? now pdSßeiises.: Is therei* any disqualification forofllce idithe,fact/that a:large amount of: the Many millions wjiich hare passed through the man's hands have not, to use a (common expression^" stuck P' rW epitist: confess to a feeling of satisfaction at Sir «f SVpgel having an opportunity given him of trying his talents once nefmaliiDgVand 1, knowing thathe^is niore than ai" 'prentice B«nd/ we^ havelittle fear that ihevarticle he; is^likely to turn out will show safficieptskjll to justify us in ■'ou'r;>;c^tide^c^^:that: : ghe;;^
