He had made all arrangements to re-p turn, but word as to his dismissal was wired in July last. Retrench- uent or no retrenchment, it is a! discreditable proceeding on the part of those responsible. It is well known that Mr. Carter's services to the Commission, hie energy und the ondoabted ability he brought | to bear in the performance of his duties, put him at loggerheads with ohers in the department, but this is no reason why the Colony should be deprived in such a way of the services of a highly qualified man, nor is the idea of ratranchant som bued with officiency carried out by hia distoisenl. It is acknowledged that the department can dispense with the services of a good many of ife officers, and Mr. Hooper rightly asked the question why a similar course had not been adopted in the rese of other officers. If Mr. Hooper receives a satisfactory an swer to that question we shall be surprised. The dismissal of a pub lic servant who has rendered
