TE AWAMUTU.

The n*sws of the promotion of N«>ret« McUmern and Gillies wa* received heie vi ith verier il satisfaction. Th" l.itt v i o'hcer roc^untl m> in m v liand *h ike.-, and coiigiatul.tU m-, tli.it lifter hi« ami u is rh-- ] icited he hud tn hiie .1 mm tmli.iki hand* f»r him tli>kinpr a-ule, the piniii itmn -a.is well eirncd, and tlio heartine*--. of eviivonu's c Mijjivtiilrttiiiim showed hn.v inin,h pleasure it gave the public. Moth ofhtei-. h-we been lons and favourably known in tho Waikato. They ha\e on >1 occisions nindi' CtiptuiPß that would have done cicdit to a Scotland Yaid detective, and without nny a>snUuce from others in the bliape of iiiforin.ition, evcepfc what their mvn intelligence elicited. The capture of Winiata and tho arrest of Ephia and other criminals nr<J too well known to need recapitulation, and well deserved special notice at the hands of the Police Department. Wim.ita'a arrest very materially assisted the Government in their plans for opening the countiy, and the Defence Minibtor, in promoting Uie-te officer*, han done what, in common jnitice, Hhould have* been done long ago. Had fuch an airest been made made in Australia, the men would not only have been promoted, but handsomely -rewatded. When Trooper Walker shot the celebrated bushr.imcer, Thunderbolt, ho was not only lew.ndi'd, but got his commiHsion. The fret that the sum of £37, Bpent out of their ow n pockets by Sergtt. McGovein and ( Jillie* in order to further the ends of justice warf only returned when a new (ioveniment tookoffice, shows that zeal in the performance of duty is very little valued by the powers that be. Mr Ballanco, however, took a very different view, and took the earliest opportunity of lewaidin^ merit. Economy in departmental expenditure ih very commendable, but when it degenerates into par-utnoiiy it is as much a vice as extravagance Everyone here joins heartily with me in congratulating Sergt. Gillies on hi« well deserved promotion, and all agreo in saying that the scarcity of crime in this din tnct is due to his exertions, for criminals know that if he once gets on the track it would be another case of the coon and the colonel.— (Own Correspondent.)
