THE CRISIS IN VICTORIA.
TO TIJE EDITOR. Sir, —How is it that we learn nothing, or next to nothing, from the columns of the Herald, about the political crisis, threatening revolution,- in Victoria ? The extraordinary proceedings now:'taking placc in that colony—stoppage of -supplies, the course oi justice interrupted, dismissal on a grand scale of officials, perversion of public money to purposed other than those to which it wat voled, defiance of statute lan - , &c, &c.— are of the deepest interest to all colonists whatever. Of all this, the New Zealand public, those excepted who happen to subscribe to Victorian newspapers, aru left ii ignorance. How is this ? Can it be thai there is an unwillingness to let us know what demagogues and mob-orators art capable of wh jn they get the power, or to let 113 see what a down-hill race we are ourselves running at. the present moment? 1 do not ask yon to " improve the occasion ire eau do that for ourselves, if you will only let us have " the news but that, at least, in a uewspaper, we are entitled to.—l am, &c., Hugh Carlmox. Auckland, February 7, 187 S.
