The Governor.
The Post points out that serious complications may possibly ensue owing to the Gro'vernoi'd absence from the Colony to-morrow. Our conferaporary remarks : — "It is not impossible that the verdicthen to be given by the electors may be such as to render Major Atkinson's immediate resignation of office desirable, but the Deputy Governor has no power to deal with such an emergency, and it would scarcely be fair to throw on a temporary Administrator of the Government s,uch, a responsibility, Tfte absence of his Excellency after Tuesday iB, we think, deserving of seyere reprobation. It is indeed worse than Sir v Arthur Gordon's memorable trip to Fiji. If New Zealand has to pay an Imperial Govornor, surely it ought to have Mb constant and undivided services."
