THE EUROPEAN WAR.
———o——
FROM the telegraphic news received since our last
issue we learn that war has actually began between
Russia and Turkey. The first blood was shed iu a
remote corner of Asiatic Turkey, near the Caucasus
mountains. Particulars of the encounter have not
yet come to hand, but it does not seem to have been
a very large affair. The Turks were successful.
Since then both parties have been engaged in making
preparations for war on a large scale. The Russians
have invested a large and important Turkish town
called Kars. Kars is a very important military posi-
tion, and was beseiged by Russia during the Crimean
war. The principal fighting will no doubt take place
in the districts where the late civil war was raging.
Not many days will now pass before we shall hear
news of extensive conflicts and the loss of many
thousand lives. So far, no other European power has
interfered, and at present all of them seem anxious to
keep out of the fight. Egypt, which is a dependency
of Turkey, is assisting the Sultan. An uneasy feel-
ing is growing up amongst the vast Mussulman popu-
lations of Asia and Northern Africa, and it is quite
possible that the war may yet come to be regarded
by them as a Holy War. History repeats itself, and
we may be destined again to see a crusade of Chris-
tendom against the Turks.
We intend to keep our Maori readers well posted
up in the progrees of events during the war, and each
number of the WANANGA will contain a summary of
the war news since, the previous issue.

THE PENALTY WHICH JUSTICE INFLICTS ON THOSE WHO
MANUFACTURE GUNPOWDER IN DEFIANCE OF THE
LAW.
Wanganui, April 22 (Telegram).—A man named
Moffatt, who was suspected of manufacturing powder
and selling it to the Natives. was brought from
Upper Wanganui by a number of Natives. He was
taken before the Resident Magistrate at Wanganui,
and committed for trial. The evidence generally
went to show that Moffatt had been making large
quantities of gunpowder, and in a book found on him.
there was an entry in his own handwriting to the
effect that he had made 2864 Ibs. gunpowder for the
Waikato. One witness, named Notts, who knew
Moffatt for the last five years, said that in April last
he saw him at Upper Wanganui making six tin
dishes of powder. It was of good quality. By the
next morning it was takea away. He did not know
by whom, but thought by the Waikatos, who got it
instead of the Whanganui. It is thought this is the
reason the Whanganuis split on Moffatt and appre-
hended him."
Moffat has been tried in the Supreme Court and
the following is reported to be the substance of Judge
Richmonds remarks to the prisoner:—"New Ply-
month, April 26.—.Judge Richmond, in passing sen-
tence on Moffatt, said : ' If your offence were to be
punished in proportion to the danger which, it occa-
sioned to the public, you ought to receive a heavy sen-
tence. Yon are to be looked upon by all well-judging
persons as an enemy to both races of this island; on
the one hand you have been strengthening against
your fellow countrymen the well-known means of
massacre, sparing neither age nor sex : on the other
hand you have been encouraging the disaffected ia
vain resistance to the advance of civilisation. You
| have been planning disaster for Europeans ; but for
the natives you have been preparing utter destruction.
The evidence gives but a glimpse of your proceedings ;
enough, however, has been adduced to disclose their
dangerous and treasonable character. It is well for
i yon that there is now profound peace, or you could
expect, as you would deserve, nothing but the halter.
I am going to pass upon you a most inadequate sen-
tence, but it is the heaviest which is allowed by the
extreme leniency of law on this subject.' Sentenced
to two years" imprisonment with hard labor."

Mete Kingi : Kaore taku iwi i korero mai ki at; mo
tenei, na konei i roa ai au ki te tu ake, kua marama i au
nga rarangi o te Paraire o te Rahoroi. He rarangi hou
tenei, kua tu i au he kura ki oku kaainga, ka pai tenei,

THE NATIVE MEETING AT OMAHU.
———*———
OMAHU. March 10 1877.
Horima Katene said : I run one who agrees with this i
word, that is that Maoris should be on a jury. I fully
agree with this word as this law is for all the island. It
is not for this place only. If the Parliament agrees with
our wish we can find men in all the districts who will be
jurymen.
The Chairman explained the subject under discussion.
Karauria said : This is what I have to say. Let the
Government with us constitute the Court which is to deal
with land taken for the Maori war. I do nut ask in re-
gard to a jury. I say let the Government and us be the
chiefs of such a Court, in respect to the land. The meet- ;
ing at this point of Karauria's speech laughed at him
because of his going so far from the subject under dis- .
cussion.
Temuera said : I agree with this word, in respect to a
jury, that is that Maoris should be part of a jury, and
because Ngatahira is included in what we are now dis-
cussing. If Maoris had been on the jury at the trial of
the Ngatahira case that land would not have been dealt
with as it has.
Takarangi said : I agree with this subject, that we ask
the Parliament to allow Maoris to sit on jurys.
The subject under discussion was put to the meeting by
the Chairman, and passed without a discenting voice.
The ninth subject was read to the meeting by the chair-
man, and proposed to be discussed by the meeting.
Reihana Ikatahi said : When the first election took
place I was sent for by letter to go and vote. I went and
was pushed back.
Mete Kingi said : I have thought over this word at my
own place, that is, that the European does not vote for
the Maori, but the Maori does vote for the European. I
am looking at this subject. I also invite your considera-
tion of that point. Perhaps it is because we are Maoris.
Karauria said : I reside at Wairarapa, and the European
I voted for was Mr. Buchanan, who resides here at Napier.
I first knew him at Wairarapa, from which place he
first evinced a wish to help the Maori people. Now, I
will vote for those Europeans who take an interest in
helping the Maori people.
Moroati said : I will not vote for Europeans. The
Europeans he voted for did no shew any disposition to
help the Maori race. There is not any good Europeans in
my district.
The ninth subject was put to the meeting by the chair-
man and passed by acclamation.
The meeting adjourned, and agreed to meet on Mon-
day, the 12th March, at 10 a.m.
Monday, March 12, 1877.
The meeting was opened at10 a.m.

mittee was elected, and money was given for this school.
I did hear and also see (in print) the words of the Go-
vernment. But as to any money which the Government
gave I did not see any. I do not know that this Govern-
ment the (the present Ministry) is one who is one

KI TE ETITA o TE WANANGA.
E hoa tena koe, he utanga tenei mo runga mo to tatou WANA-
NGA. ka tukua atu nei kia utaina atu e koe ki roto ki te riu o
to tatou WANANGA, mau e tuku atu ki te Nupepa o te Kawa-
natanga, ki te Waka Maori, kia tere to tuku i enei utanga kia
hohoro te puta atu ki nga hoa Pakeha, me nga pito e wha o
te Motu nei. koia tenei ka tuhia iho ki raro nei :—
Eli nga Apiha o te Kawanatanga o tenei Motu, tena koutou.
ki te Kawanatanga o te Koroni o tenei Motu o Aotearoa, tena
koe te matua o te hunga matau, me te hunga kuare, te matua
atawhai, whakahaere i te tika, i te pono, i te aroha, i te kota-
hitanga ki runga ki nga iwi e rua i runga. i tenei Motu i Ao-
tearoa nei. ara, i te Maori, i te Pakeha. Ko te Maori raua ko
te Pakeha, he uri raua na te tipuna kotahi, na Noa, he tuaka-
na a Hema, he taina a Hama, ta Hema ko te Maori, ta Hama
ko te Pakaha. Na Mohi te kupu ki nga Etipihana, e whawhai
ana ki a raua tokorua. E hoa ma he whanaunga korua, he
aha tetahi ka kino ai ki tetahi, koia tenei, ko te tuakana, i
kuare, ko te taina i mohio, ma te mea mohio e ako te mea
kuare, kia rite tonu raua te mohio, heoi ra. ko enei uri tokorua
a Noa, he Maori, he Pakeha, ko te Maori i kuare, ko te
Pakeha i mohio, na. kite tonu mai ki te kuare, waiho tonu
mai kia kuare ana, heoi ra enei kupu. Na he panuitanga
tenei kia mohio koutou, kua tae mai te paati a nga Pakeha :
kikonoi mo te awa o Whangaehu, hei paati whakawhiti mo te
awa o Whangaehu, hei whakataki mo te rori e haere ana ki
Turakina, tae atu ki Parekaretu, me te ara ki Murimotu. Ko
taua paati e kore rawa e tika kia whiti mai kia u mai ki
tetahi taha o Whangaehu, kore rawa matou e pai kia whiti
mai taua paati, ki te mea ka whiti mai. ka pakarutia rawatia
taua paati. Na e ui tenei, na te Kawanatanga ranei tenei
paati, na nga Pakeha noa ranei ? Te kupu whakaatu kia
mohio nga hoa Pakeha o Whanganui, me era atu wahi. Na
koutou ranei tenei paati ? Me whakakore, kaua o homai he
paati ki konei. Tua-rua, e kore hoki matou e pai kia mahia
he rori ki runga ki to matou whenua i waenganui o Tura-
kina o Whangaehu, ahakoa he rori nui he rori Pooti ranei.
kaore rawa matou e pai kia mahia aua mahi ki runga ki o
matou wahi papatuku kua oti te hurihuri te rapu e te Komiti
Maori, kia whakakorea rawatia atu aua mahi a te Pakeha ki
runga ki o matou whenua papatupu, kaua nga rori e pokanoa
te haere i runga i enei wahi kua whakahuatia i runga ake nei.
heoi, he mea tuku atu na te Komiti o Ngawairiki.

Apiha o te Kawanatanga. He nui te tohe o nga Apiha o te
Kawanatanga kia riro taua Moana, ka rua nga tunga hui mo
taua Moana a nga Apiha o te Kawanatanga i roto i enei tau ka
pahure nei. Kaore i whakaaetia e te iwi katoa, tae noa ki tenei
tau katahi ka whakaaetia e nga tangata Maori tokorua, kaore
i mohiotia e te iwi katoa, rongo rawa ake te iwi nui tonu kua
riro i aua tangata te hoko, ko nga utu e waru rau £800 pauna.
e wha rau pauna kai te toe ano ki te Pakeha, ka rongo te iwi
katoa, me nga Rangatira, menga kai whakahaere me te Komiti
o te iwi nui tonu, ka whakahe mo taua hoko. Katahi ka tuhia
te Pitihana turaki mo taua hoko. ka hoatu kia Karaitiana
Takamoana, mana e whakatakoto ki te aroaro o te Runanga
nui o te Paremata o Nui Tireni kia kore e mana taua hoko.
Ko nga tangata i roto i taua Pitihana turaki i taua hoko, e
rima tekau tangata 50, tera atu i te rima tekau. Ko te he o
tenei hoko kai te Apiha o te Kawanatanga. No te mea e
mohio ana nga Apiha ki te Ture, ko te Maori kaore e mohio.
To koiti pea nga mea e mohio ana, ko te nuinga kaore e
mohio ki te Ture, tena, tena ko te Pakeha kanui te mohio ki
te Ture. Ko aua whenua me Taua Moana me Wairarapa i
hokona e taua Apiha i waho o te Ture i panuitia ki te ao. me
ruuri te whenua, ka oti te ruuri ka tuku ki te Kooti, ka kitea
te tangata i tika ka puta te Karauna Karaati ki taua tangata
i tika ra, ka tahi ano ka tika te hoko, ko tu hoko a tenei Apiha
o te Kawanatanga ko nga hoko ano o mua o te Maori-tanga o
te tangata, o te kuaretanga, e toi tu ana te whenua, e toi-tu ana
te tangata. Ko tetahi he o taua Apiha, ko te mahi tinihanga
ki nga tangata Maori, kaore e tuhi te tangata i tona ingoa ki
te pukapuka hoko kau tua eia ki to moni kia tuhi ai he tangata
i tona ingoa ki te pukapuka hoko. Ko nga moni e hoatu ana
eia e rima Pauna, tekau paana. Ko to hunga whakaaro iti
ka tuhi i tona ingoa mo aua moni kia riro mai. ko to hunga
whakaaro nui. kahore e pai atu ki aua moni whakapati, kaore
hoki e tuhi i tona ingoa ki taua pukapuka. Ko te tahi he
o taua Apiha o Erueti Manihera. Ko tona utu i to matou
kaumatua ki nga moni e rima-tekau pauna. (£5O) i roto i nga
tau katoa, kia wheru ai ana whakaaro tika, anga ai nga
whakaaro ki ana mahi tinihanga i nga tangata Maori te patu
etahi mahi tinihanga, a taua, Pakeha Apiha o te Kawanatanga,
tena to hanga e te tangata i ngoia e te Kawanatanga ki te
moni, kaore aua titiro ki to tika, ki te he, heoi ano tana e
titiro ai ko te ora mo tona tinana. No te mea i patai mai tana
Apiha ki ahau, pehea te tino kupu o to koutou huihuitanga.
Katahi ka uia e au tona patai, kupu tua-tahi. kaore e pai te
iwi ki ta koutou hoko ko o Maori. Tua-rua, o nga kupu, ko
te Moana, me tena whenua i Panuitia mo nga tangata Maori i
mua i te hokonga o te whenua katoa hei mahinga tuna ma
nga Maori, kai te mutunga o te Awa-puni te rohe ki te Maori.
Tua-toru o nga kupu, ko tena whenua kai te Komiti e pupuri
ana. Tua-wha o nga kupu, i kia atu ki taua. Apiha kia Erueti

Maori. Enei kupu, he ritenga kai roto, ko nga kupu tenei i
kiia atu C au ki taua Apiha, te hokinga atu o taua Apiha ki
tona kaainga, katahi ka panui ki te Nupepa Pakeha, kua riro
i a ia. taua Moana nei a Wairarapa te hoko. Te rua. ko tona
hoatutanga i nga motu e wha rau pauna, (£400) kaore i titiro
kua korerotia e au nga take e he ai taua hoko, hoatu tonu
taua Apiha i nga moni e wha rau pauna, (400) kia kainga
e nga Maori, e ki ana au, taihoa taua moni i pau nei ka ruini
noa iho taua moai, e waru nei rau pauna. (£800) no te mea
kai te here tonu te iwi nui me nga rangatira, me nga kai
whakahaere, me te Komiti o te iwi nui tena i taua Moana,
heoi, o mea aua ahau, me mutu rawa te mahi tinihanga a nga
Apiha o te Kawanatanga ki to matou takiwa, ara, ki nga
whenua Maori, engari me mahi pai nga Apiha o te Kawana-
tanga, koi tipu tetahi raruraru ki to matou takiwa, kei he a
matou mahi, e whakahaere nei, kia noho nga iwi e rua i runga
i te rangimarietanga, Pakeha. Maori, no te mea e nui ana to
matou kaha ki te peehi i nga raruraru o to matou takiwa i
roto i enei tau maha ka pahure nei, tae noa ki tenei tau. E
nui ana hoki te raruraru o nga tangata o tenei kaainga, mo te
hoko o Wairarapa Moana, koia au i mea ai kia pai te whaka-
haere a nga Apiha o te Kawanatanga, me nga tangata Maori
hoki e kaore ana i runga i aua tu mahi, kaati i konei, koi hoha
te ngakau, me te kanohi te titiro.
Wairarapa. NA PIRIPI TE MAARI.
He panui tenei ki ngu tangata pupuhi

i runga i nga whenua i Te Aute.
HE hono tonu no te haere pokanoa a te tangata, rae
aua kuri, ki te pupuhi manu, a ki te aruaru
poaka, i nga whenua e nohoia ana, a e tiakina ana e
ahau. He mea atu tenei, kua tu nga kai tiaki mo aua
whenua, a ki te mea ka kitea te tangata haere poka-
noa ki aua whenua, ka tino whakawakia ratou ki te
