Newspaper Kditoks and Pkomiktobs. — In considering the disqualification clauses of tho Municipal Corporations Act IM7(> Amendment Act m Committee on Monday Captain Sutter instanced the case of an editor of a newspaper m Timaru, who actually iusulted a deputation. Several members thought that editors of newspapers had too much nower nnd inlluence.

Mackny Manager of the Raincliff Station, arrived ii Timnru by the Express train from the Soutl on Saturday, bringing with him 62 mcrini ones and one ram from tho celebrated flocl of Mr James Gibson, Tasmania, and which hi has just purchased m that colony. All tin sheep have arrived m splendid condition am were taken on to Baincliff on Saturday even ing. Tho ram had been used mMr Gibeon'i pure flock last season. His sire was bi Sanscrit, bred and owned by Mr D" Taylor of St. Johnstone, his dam being one of Mr Gibson's stud ewes. Thi ewes are all rising 2 tooth, were bred fron Mr Gibson's flock, and are descended fron " Sir Thomas " and the same lot of pure ewes Those marked with a swallow m the nea: ear were got by "Dense Golden Tom," son o: " Golden Tom " ; those with a swallow oi the off car by "Golden Hoof" by "Goldei Tom " ; those with a swallow m the near en: and a notch behind the off ear by " Goldei Drop 2nd, " own brother to " Golden Tom " those with a notch m the front of both ears and also those with a notch m front of om ear by "Sanscrit" rams; those witl two notches m front of near car bi " Viceroy," who is by a son of " Golder Tom"; while those with full ears ar< by "Golden Tom" sire rams. There i: no doubt these sheep will prove a valuable and welcome addition to the Raincliff flock aud we trust to ccc some, if not all of them exhibited at tho forthcoming agricultural show. TnE Mixistbt. — The Wellington correspondent of tho Dunedin <Sta- telegraphed or Friday : — " Last night, m referring to the pro bable reconstruction of the Ministry early it the recess, I liintad at the retirement of tin Treasurer and Colonial Secretary. Despiti tlie Ministerial denial some weeks ago, ] think it not improbable that Sir Julius will b< provided for by being appointed to tlie chair manship of the Government Insurance Board I have reason to believe that negotiation: have been opened up with Mr Garrick to induce him to accept a scat m the Cabinet Of course the vacancy would have to bo fillet by a Canterbury member, considering tin feeling 6f irritation against Ministers m con sequence of their refusal to make the Ens' nnd West Coast Railway matter a Ministoria question. Mr Harper would probably hav< been offered the portfolio had his businesi engagements not have prevented his acceptance of it. As to Mr Buckley, I believe thai he intends settling at Home, m consequence of recent events which it is not necessary tc refer to here. The Government are anxious, m the event of a reconstruction, to get a member who would give a slight tinge of Conservatism to tho Cabinet. The Waiiiatf. Railway. — On the debate on the third reading of the District Railways Bill, after tho Waimato line had been rein Btated, Mr Fisher (we learn from the Dunedin Slir) spoke m strong terms of condemnation of the reinstatement of the Waimato line after the House had the day before rejected it. Ho could not conceive a moro pitiable spectacle than that. He thanked God thai tho ti r o would nrrive when a Government who did such things would be removed (The Premier : hear, hear.) In future h( could not hold the Premier m that admiratior he had hitherto done. Mr Levestam ridiculed the virtuous indignation displayed bj the Member for Wellington South. He die not know any member who had so prostituted his political character as the hon irabit member. Mr Speaker expressed surprise at tht hon. member for Nelson making such a re mark. Mr I.evestam : I withdraw the words Mr Speaker : You should also apolcgise. Mi Levestam apologised accordingly. The Treasurer defended the purchase of these railways as being perfectly legal. The Waimato line, over which so much had been said was a cheap purchase nt the price proposed U be given. It would bo a wise decision to buy the whole of the railways as proposed by the Bill. The amendment was lost by 33 to 28 Sir G. Grey said he identitied himself entirclj with tho action of Mr Seddon and Mr Fisher and rcspeeto i their conduct. Tho Bill passeel its third reading by 27 to 20. Tin: HriT Tahrikg Case.— ln roferencc to this case tho Wellington correspondent cf tho Dunedin Star telegraphs :— " This case continues to bo the principal topic of conversntion m social circles hero, and the statement niado by ono of tho local papon yesterday that tho polico have m tbeii hands evidence that will bring tho roal offenders to justice has increased tho public appetite for a complete exposure of one ol tho greatest scandals that has yet eoino tc light m this or any othor city m the colony. Tho prosecution have determined to subpoena the Hon. Mr Buckley to give evidence, and tho other side threaten that if this is done they will havo Mrs Buckley brought into the witness-box and have a complete washing of tho dirty linon of two of the most prominent families m this city. The editor of the Post, which journal first published some vague brief paragraphs about tho assault on Mr Muir, has been subpoened to givo CTidenco on Tuesday, when he will bo questioned regarding tho name of his informant. Mr Gillon, however, considers that this is a gross attempt to invade the liborty of the Press, aud lias engaged counsel to object to his examination. Uo is fully determined to endure imprisonment for contempt of Court rathor than answer a single question on tho subject. Presentation.— At a meeting of tho Timaru Jewish congregation yesterday, a very pleasing and interesting ceremony was performed when Mr H. Fricdlnnder, who has been President for the past threo years, was the recipient of a handsomely engrossed testimonial presented by tho congregation ns a murk of their esteem and for tho very olllcient manner Mr Friedlandor had carried but tho duties of President. Gonoral regret was expressed nt tho loss of Mr Friedlander who is leaving Timaru for Ashburton, whither he carries tho good wishes of all tho members of the congregation. Mr Jonas, m making tho presentation, said ho did so with very great pleasure, as he had known MV Friodlnnder for co many year?, and ho had always taken a great interest m tho welfare of tho congregation. They all appreciated what ho (Mr Friedlander) had done lo further the interests of the synagoguo while President. It wns the feeling of tho whole congregation that ho hail dono his best for them. The testimonial would be a. slight remembrance to Mr Frieiilnndcr of tho plaeo whero he had passed co many harpy years, ond would be for him and bit children to look at,

and would show them the esteem he was held m by his congregation while m 1 imaru. The Hon. Sec. (Mr Jacob Levien) then read the testimonial, which isas follows : — "To 11. Friedlander, Esq., President Jewish Congregation, Timaru : — Dear sir, — At a meeting of the congregation held on August 2nd, 1885, we were unanimously requested to convey to you on your retirement from the presidency of the congregation, which ofliee you have held for the pist three years, some token of our appreciation of your energy and perseverance m promoting the welfare of your co-rcligionisls . and of our estimation of your character, ay.d ■ our regret at your leaving Timaru. Wish- ■ ing you and yours prosperity, wo aro I dear sir, yours 'truly, (signed) SI. Fruliauf, Treasurer, J. Levien, Hon. fc'ec." Mr H. , Friedlander, m returning thanks, said he had i not the slightest idea this morning that this' i presentation was to take place ; it had come ■ indeed unawares. He thanked them from i the bottom o" his heart for tl:e kind expres- • sione conveyed t,o him by the testimonial and' < from Mr Jonas, which he hardly deserved, > considering the very little service ho had i rendered. The li'tlle he had done, he i was sure, did not deserve the hnnd- - some testimonial ho had just received, which ; he would ever look upon with pride, and 1 which would remind him and his family of the kindness shown to him by tho members of r the congregation. They might rest assured 0 that he would always be willing at any time ' .. to give his fullest assistance when required , 0 Onco more he sincerely thanked them ; oxj pressed his great regret at having to leave c those from whom he had received such kind c expressions L of regret at parting, which ho s heartily reciprocated. (Loud applause.) y The testimonial is very handsomely framed, s the penmanship reflecting great credit upon - Mr Q. W. Wade, of this town.
