POLITICS— LATEST MOVES.

To the Editor of the Daily Southjcbn Oboss. Sir,— l un^Btno^.^at^.Begoiiatjon^is now pending from which will probably result a petition from each constituency of the-Aficklincl diatriot of New Zealand, to be presented to our general Parliament, bearing the following purport i-r-First, tbe.tptal.abqlitjpn. of,, our ten, parliamentary Governments, for,th,e tjwo island, o.quntries, iv with a direct yiew to. the establishment, of one centrally- . sea.tetjl pasamentars (yovernment -for eacfi country. An<ji then, *, - . , , t -.., , '„ §pcond, that eachj central, parliamentary Government snail have, appended to it a. oongenes of .local munioipaVself-governing Ifoad Boards. _ ., j; sir, in is deemed tlie only proper method- of .thfl pe.ceasary,and demanded, retrenchment —a .means that s^ll pr^ve, safe, and iound,flumcient .and permanently satisfactpry.

Tne British Goveijnment is, per to-day's nawa, and as we anticipated, how waiting to endorse our agreed-on plan. .Hence the Auckland Board ,need hot jiistnow throw' away people's money on law. Doubtless our much-loved and very intimate friends,- the lawyers, • would not very much object, though they might perhaps professionally hum a hesitation,, to «ftncbionJhe^@la.i)orfttion of nine and a-half new governments for us here, at any day, if ofßcialiy-a»ked rf r .. i , It 3I j*.
