HOPE I DON'T INTRUDE.

To the Edit ok of the Nelson Evening Mail. Sir — Heard yesterday there was to be some fun in Council last night. Called in for a few minutes to have a look at our local senators. Most important motion on the table was one by Mr Macmahoo, evidently intended as a vote of want of confidence in the Executive. Can assure you, Mr Editor, it was quite refreshing to hear hou. members, who last session were prepared to support the Executive upon all and every question they brought forward, rising up to the dignity of their position, and honestly expressing their opinions. One hon. member, who is a kingdom in himself, in a few terse sentences stated that all these calamities had happened through the Super going to the Empire City for two or three months and not appointing a deputy. Truth stranger than fiction. Some encouragement to our knights that it does prevail sometimes. Observant readers of the Fourth Estate will recollect that our late Super was informed by one in power that it was wrong for Supers to have a seat in G.eneral Assembly, as they obstructed business of the House; yet some parties perpetuate the evil they decried, and have thus supplied a stick for the breaking of their own back. Wonder when report of members who visited West Coast is to be made public, not forgetting the carte at the great dinner. Hope they have brought some specimens of Waimangaroa quartzreef and Mount Rochfort coal, to show their less fortunate fellow-councillors who did not see these valuable resources of the province, mineral as well as culinary. I am, etc., Paul Pry's Ghost. 6th Nov. 1867.
