This very gratifying intelligence that: Capt. .Morris had been sworn in as a us this afternoon, and that a judicious selection: has been made there can be little doubt. Qaptain Morris;has been an exemplary member of the House, has gone through the experience attached to the; position or Gdyernirient wbipi arid in that position showed his thorough conversance with such political life ißß>is',tp;be!;of.;Ußeto-him. -in his hew sphere, In addition to thisihehas; displayed the possession of that tact likely to be of material benefit to the. Cabinet of which he ■; has becpin'e a member. The honest independence bf'spirit; shown by the: nbwly-joined Minister stamp him at »once^ as a man of strecgth and .resolution, and his previous career has shown that he is possessed of an energy which will, we think,; be fully exerted by him. Therecan be little doubt that a wiser sejectidh could not have;been made, considering the^ material given 'land when- the many interests affected are considered. Every confidence is placed in the new Minister, andnotonly this and the immediately^adjacent districts, but our Southern friends,will breathe a^- sigh 'of relief'upon the receipt of the intelligence that there 5 is a; possibility of some attention being paid to the wants of Northern and Southern mining communities;- through a member %t the Cabinet: selected being cpnversant with this most important industry. We certainly can look with satisfaction on the accession to" office of _ t)re ■member forj Tauranga, not only ho honestly "wen his spurs ■"; in our vicinity—nor is it from the selfish point of view that he is; almost a local member, and has ever be? trayed a friendly interest in,our district-— but principally from the fact that he:-, has ever been consistent in his actions, and we feerconfident thafc our own member will be generally in accord with the Minister whose constituency is adjoining, and we have every reason to hope and believe that; the three members,- whose constituencies ha>e nearly; every thing in common, will; ely^ tiot? do ybut^Work -for the: almost ,iaenticaii;interests of their con-; stituents. late intelligence regarding .Ministerial^ strength;is, under the circum^ stances, somewhat gratifying, and although hot raised to any seventh heaven in the way of r elation";" we smile in "gatis-' "faction-at the thought that somo recognition -of ouc necessities :is about to Wvjentuate. ;; -:ux: rh':"--- . .--■:/;-V-'.■'::■•!
