I District Judge iu bis neighborhood, a word<br />
'<br />
to the Boncdarr Commissioner, a hint dron- -<br />
ped ln thc Board of Immigration, a signifi-<br />
cant cod to the Commissioners or Crown<br />
Lands, and, if his opposition is sufficiently<br />
notorious, a word in the Suprerre Court,<br />
such as 'we mnst support tbe Government,<br />
centemer, will soon surround him with a<br />
cordon of influences that will bring him Into<br />
subjection, or drive him from the country.<br />
Unfortunately for the country they generally<br />
yieiato the powers that be, and If sufficiently<br />
badgered will soon begin to write for the<br />
Government press. If so, the spell is broken;<br />
favors from the Board of Immigration are<br />
showered upon him, DUtrict Judges and the<br />
various commissioners see things in a tuuer<br />
ent light and E3Cophancv meets with its<br />
reward."<br />
Is there the smallest foundation for this<br />
wholesale calumny! Some of It, of course.<br />
is pure nonsense, as for instance: "asignlfi.<br />
cant nod to the Commissioners of Crown<br />
Lands" lnce, by the Statute, two out of the<br />
three Commissioners must be trom the Cab<br />
inet and therefore need not "nod" to any<br />
body on the subject, either significantly or<br />
insignificantly; and, besides, they are admin<br />
istering an estate which has no more to do<br />
with any individual planter, than his own<br />
estate has to do with the Commissioners.<br />
Where has a Boundary Commissioner jet sat<br />
to hear and decide any case! Tbe former<br />
Sole Commissioner, Judge Robertson, sat<br />
on two, in which the same Commission<br />
ers of Crown Lands were actual parties<br />
to the record. How, then, docs any man<br />
presume to write, and any paper pre-<br />
sume to publish, that the Commissioners, or<br />
any of them, have been influenced adversely<br />
to any claimant, by corrupt or unworthy mo<br />
tives or solicitations of anyone much less<br />
third parties! Where Is the planter who<br />
will say that thc District Magistrate of his<br />
district has been directed, advised, or Influ-<br />
enced adversely to him or his interests !<br />
What planter, or other man of business, has<br />
been litigant in the Supreme Court and has<br />
said, or will say, or has had cause to say, that<br />
the Judges, or any of them, have been, or<br />
could.be, influenced In their decision by any<br />
intimation that thc litigant is unfriendly to a<br />
Minister orall of them with the expression<br />
"We mnst support the Government, gentle<br />
men!" But, fellow citizens, that paper,<br />
which It is claimed merits and receives your<br />
liberal support, does not hesitate to sap your<br />
prosperity by seeking to spread the idea that<br />
justice Is insecure, and even yonr courts are<br />
venal though the contrary Is<br />
the fact ! Tears, position, a long life of use-<br />
fulness, are no protection from the slanders<br />
of a penny-a-line- whose sole idea is to earn<br />
a few a very few dollars, by this dirty<br />
work.<br />
Ton have all heard the story of the crowd<br />
in Dublin, when one cried out, "Don't nail<br />
that man's ears to the pump." The crowd,<br />
being ripe for such things, took the hint<br />
though they had not thought of it before, and<br />
thc man's ears were called to the pump So<br />
this good citizen proceeds on the same prin-<br />
ciple, with hints that we have seen, and heard<br />
before, from the same and similar sources,<br />
that domestic violence would be desirable.<br />
Hear him, and see thc counsels which he,<br />
as well as some others, (who may not be<br />
spoken of, on account of the sacredness of<br />
their office, and their immense ecclesiastical<br />
elevation,) see fit to give:<br />
" Physical demonstration is tbe onlv cor<br />
rector of evils In an absolutism. This is not<br />
to be expected here. The native population<br />
are too listless and too much under the su-<br />
perstitions of old, to appreciate the evil. The<br />
foreigners mainly come here to make money,<br />
and only care for that"<br />
The remark made about the native popu-<br />
lation is very significant, and if they should<br />
awake from their lisUessness, one day, it<br />
would not be surprising if it were the worse<br />
for those who thus outrage a peaceful and<br />
unoffending people.<br />
I have thought it best to address this to the<br />
public, rather than to tbe Editor of the Ga-<br />
zette, and hope that he will give it an inser-<br />
tion. Fjjlsteb.<br />
Ed. Remakes. Probably it may 6afely be<br />
asserted that the calumnies commented on<br />
by our correspondent were "invented by the<br />
author."<br />
Mb. Editor. Probably no proposition<br />
has been made, within the memory of the<br />
"oldest inhabitant" so fraught with the des-<br />
tinies of this kingdom and the "rest of man-<br />
kind," so calculated to awaken the most<br />
lethargic, or to "add new vigor to this de-<br />
caying people," as that ofyour wise neigh-<br />
bor when he says in his last issue, in rela-<br />
tion to Inter-Islan- d steam, that "This whole<br />
question, reduced to a focus, amounts to<br />
this shall we have steam or not!" I sup-<br />
pose that he means to be understood, that<br />
when the rays of thc wonderful light which<br />
he has thrown upon the subject, are concen-<br />
trated, with the assistance of a powerful<br />
lens, an admiring world will at once be able<br />
to perceive, that we ore ritAer to Aare, or not<br />
to hare" Inter-Islan- d steam!" Sow, I defy<br />
any other man, to so satisfactorily settle so<br />
important a question in so few words.<br />
With him, it is inspiration and possible, with<br />
others, it would be darkness,and, perhaps, im-<br />
possible. He also proves, in the same<br />
article, beyond a reasonable doubt, that<br />
we should at once offer $25,0001 thought<br />
my offer of 40,000 was, if anything,<br />
too liberal to the .Xorth Paciflc Trans-<br />
portation Company to indnce that cor-<br />
poration to put on suitable Inter-Islan- d<br />
steamers, prorlded of course, that they will<br />
consent to perform the service with vessels<br />
under the American flag, which they would<br />
probably consent to do. Only a few ques-<br />
tions have suggested themselves to my mind,<br />
whlh would have tbe effect to make me<br />
hesitate in giving my " unmitigated" support<br />
to the above proposition. Among the most<br />
simple of these questions are the following:<br />
Firstly: If a "responsible Ministry" were to<br />
permit vessels under a foreign flag to engage<br />
in the coasting trade, would there not be dan<br />
ger that the ghost of the Constitution of<br />
1S52, outraged beyond endurance at such a<br />
palpable disregard for a plain and explicit<br />
lax, might arise and hurl them from the<br />
proud positions they cow occupy ! Second-<br />
ly: How would it work in case this Gov-<br />
ernment should demand the use of one of<br />
said steamers and be refused, and then take<br />
her by force, and use her for the purpose re-<br />
quired, might'et the bin be heavier than the<br />
service done would seem to deservend who<br />
would be likely to attend to the collection,<br />
and who would be the judge of the necessity<br />
of such use by Government! Thirdly:<br />
Tour brilliant friend talks thus: "In fact<br />
tbe contract should contain such a provision<br />
as is made by the American and British Gov-<br />
ernments with their subsidized steamers."<br />
Please sir, mark the word "their." Are<br />
there now any British steamers, subsidized<br />
by the American Government as coasters, or<br />
American steamers, subsidized by the Brit-<br />
ish Government,? coasters, "which are bound<br />
upon demand, to enter the service of the na-<br />
tion by which they are subsidized. And if<br />
there are any each incase of a "little dif--<br />
rlZLTZZ<br />
take, and what would become or them IT<br />
they happened to be caught taking the<br />
wrong side !<br />
Don't you answer these questions Mr. Ed-<br />
itor. I want thc JoVerfiscr to do so, out of<br />
that rare and priceless copy or Puffcndort<br />
Sever having spoken one single word, with<br />
any Minister, or other official of this Govern-<br />
ment, about steam, I am unable to give the<br />
Ministerial views on the question; but let ns<br />
hope that they are as sound and as "broad<br />
and national" as those of the advocates of<br />
foreign subsidy. Tours, Stxav.<br />
P. S. If another and greater "ring" has<br />
"subsidized" any one, to advocate the little<br />
scheme above referred to, St is to be hoped<br />
that they have made the thing sufficiently<br />
remunerative to warrant a man ln making<br />
himself supremely rediculous. 8.<br />
Me. Editor: I venture to trouble you<br />
with a few reflections, which have been sug<br />
gested to my mind by recent events, In re-<br />
gard to the character of the responsibility<br />
resting upon those who undertake the con-<br />
duct of a newspaper In the Hawaiian lan-<br />
guage There arc, I hold, few positions ln<br />
this country, of more grave and solemn res-<br />
ponsibility than that of one who undertakes,<br />
from week to week, to Instruct and amuse<br />
this people through the medium of the press.<br />
There is no calling lu which, he who under-<br />
takes It is required to be possessed of a<br />
calmer, or more matured judgment, a wider<br />
phUanthrophy, or a greater amount of that<br />
charity, which is inclined to look at the<br />
actions of all men from the most favorable<br />
point of view. The great want of books of<br />
a general character, in his own language,<br />
renders the Hawaiian (who is unable to read<br />
foreign books and papers) entirely depen-<br />
dent upon his newspaper, not only for a<br />
Knowledge of the progress of events, but for<br />
guidance in the great moral and political<br />
questions of the day. The confiding nature<br />
of the Hawaiian, makes him particularly sus--<br />
ceptible to thc views of those to whom he<br />
looks as his teachers. It Is therefore a thing<br />
much to be regretted, If there should be any<br />
professed teachers of this people, who.in their<br />
papers, are rabid, bitter, and denunciatory<br />
towards any. There seem to be some people,<br />
wbo, although they must be aware, that<br />
honest men of like intelligence, have dis-<br />
agreed on almost every subject that has<br />
arisen since the world commenced are per-<br />
fectly Incapable of comprehending how any-<br />
one can disagree with (Aem, and be honest<br />
So man can hotutUg feel this way, unless<br />
he is perfectly satisfied that in himself Is the<br />
very sum of human wisdom and perfection;<br />
and, I mnst say that a man wbo leels thus,<br />
must be a happy man, and has a perfect right<br />
to be proud of himself. A majority of re<br />
flecting people are very apt to mistrust that<br />
those who appear to be filled with this belief<br />
in their own Infallibility, are not alto<br />
gether sincere; and not unfrequently, attri<br />
bute designing and wicked motives, where<br />
the utmost professions of the purest motives,<br />
are made. Without attempting to discuss,<br />
as to whether this mistrust is well founded,<br />
I venture to make the assertion that people<br />
such as these, are not the proper persons to<br />
conduct a native Hawaiian newspaper nor<br />
for that matter, any other: because they do<br />
not elevate, and are not capable of elevating<br />
and enlightening the people, but on the con--'<br />
trary, are the persons who are best calcnlat-- 1<br />
ed to do the very reverse. If they, assuming<br />
to occupy the very highest moral, religious<br />
and political ground, denounce those who do<br />
not see things exactly as they do, as dis-<br />
honest knaves or incompetent blockheads,<br />
they are teaching the people to become in-<br />
tolerant ; besides, they are telling them what<br />
in ninety-nin- e cases oct of well, we'll<br />
say niacfy-nw- Is not true. If they continu-<br />
ally tell the people that they are down-trodde-<br />
and oppressed, when the people are not<br />
down-trodde- n and oppressed; the people,<br />
you know, will after a time lose faith in<br />
their advisers and friends, and there will<br />
cornea time when these advisers and friends i<br />
of the people, will be utterly Incapable of do-<br />
ing the dear, down-trodde- n people any more<br />
good. Indeed, this reflection would make<br />
me quite inconsolable, were it not for the<br />
fict that, at that time and thereafter, they<br />
will not be able to do the people any more<br />
harm. This last reflection goes a great way<br />
towards fully reconciling me to the harrow-<br />
ing possibility of the first ; indeed I am so<br />
far reconciled by it, as to be fully of the<br />
opinion that the sooner that time comes the<br />
better for all concerned particularly for Oie<br />
people. V.<br />
The following extract from the report to<br />
the A. B. C. F. M., may not have met the<br />
eyes of all our readers, and therefore we give<br />
it the benefit of our circulation.<br />
The persistent efforts and inficenee of the<br />
Papacy, and of Reformed Catholics in hosti-<br />
lity to the labors and counsels of the mission-<br />
aries, are a perpetual hindrance to their work.<br />
The g and benevolent labor of<br />
years, and the expenditure of hundreds of<br />
thousands of dollars, with their manifest good<br />
and wide-spre- results, have been wholly<br />
ignored, disregarded, and as far as practicable<br />
circumvented and destroyed, by interfering<br />
emissaries from European Christian communi-<br />
ties. Still, the addion of 27 new members<br />
to the native churches, and contributions from<br />
native members of near 30,000 dollars, to--<br />
gttner witn tne almost entire support of their<br />
own churches, and the sending of their own<br />
missionaries to the islands beyond them,<br />
show their deeply rooted. Evangelical piety,<br />
and the presence and blessing of God's spirit<br />
This whole mission and its fruits, gave the<br />
richest encouragement to the American Church.<br />
and to the Christianity of the world, to com-<br />
mit itself, promptly and unfalterinclr. to the<br />
great work of converting all the nations of<br />
ine eartn to tne religion of the Lord Jesus<br />
It is a subject of regret that our Congrega<br />
tionalist and Presbyterian friends think that<br />
the work of their of other denomi<br />
nations is to prejudicial, and that the mani-<br />
fest good of then own labors Is " practically<br />
circumvented and destroyed " by the hostile<br />
efforts of the others. But others, disinterested<br />
and impartial, think taat the seal of our<br />
friends causes them to exaggerate the hind.<br />
ranee to their work from the sources mention-<br />
ed. There is room enough for all. Neither<br />
of the two denominations mentioned lias the<br />
smallest hostility to tbe labors and counsels<br />
of the Hawaiian Evangelical Association, nor<br />
wish to " destroy or circumvent" the manifest<br />
good and wide spread results of their benevo-<br />
lent labors. They undoubtedly differ very<br />
strongly on polemical subjects. but most<br />
clearly, one diSers as much from the other as<br />
the other from the one. Inasmuch as religious<br />
tenets and theories are not demonstrable, those<br />
esgaged in pressing different Tiewt, too fre-<br />
quently become so identified with them, as to<br />
think that any who differ from them, "hin-<br />
der" their work. and. it is to be honed, that<br />
the idea that any religious denomination is<br />
" hostile" to the efforts of the others, or ii<br />
interfering" to crevent a from doin-- .<br />
good, may .disappear, and that all will work<br />
logetner, or separately, for the common good,<br />
CALIFORNIA CORRESPONDENCE.<br />
FROM OCS REGULAR OOKBESrOSDEST.<br />
Sax FBAsasco, March as, 1SB9.<br />
The Paclfle Railroad.<br />
Only about one hundred miles of track<br />
now remains to be laid, and the Continental<br />
Railroad will be completed. The Central<br />
Pacific is finished to within about forty miles<br />
of Monument Point or the north end of .Salt<br />
Lake, and the Union Pacific has about sixty<br />
miles ot tract to lay to reach the same point<br />
The Central Pacific is laying from three to<br />
four miles a day, and has Its grading com-<br />
pleted to Monument Point; this gap ts<br />
almost certain to be closed by the flrst of<br />
May, some say by the middle of April.<br />
Some parts or the Union Pacific Road are<br />
understood to be very badly constructed.<br />
A correspondent who has lately been over<br />
the road writes as follows :<br />
As to the construction or the Pacific Rail-<br />
road, It Is not done according to contract<br />
from Bryan westward: tbe grade Is low. in<br />
some places made ot chunks or (rozen dirt.<br />
wucn win soften Into mush In the spring;<br />
thc culverts and bridges are all or wood,<br />
temporary structures.<br />
Tbe obstacles In the construction or this<br />
road have been prodigious, and the tempta-<br />
tion to construct portions or the road in a<br />
temporary manner have been very great<br />
One or the very first things President Grant<br />
did, after stepping into office, was to remove<br />
two of the three Commissioners or the Union<br />
Pacific Railroad. These men had undoubt-<br />
edly been unfaithful to the trust reposed in<br />
tbera, and they were removed at once. They J<br />
were too ready to accept the railroad. As<br />
soon as a ribbon section of twenty miles was<br />
run out, it was promptly accepted and the<br />
government subsidy paid. President Grant<br />
thought it best that the Railroad Company<br />
should not own the Commissioners.<br />
It is said that "emigrant trains" will be<br />
placed ou thc road dally, or<br />
weekly, as tbe demand may require, and<br />
passengers by these trains will be brought at<br />
ranch cheaper rates than ever were heard of<br />
before. Emigrant passage tickets, will be<br />
sold at a price not exceeding fifty dollars,<br />
trom .Neir iorK to any point in lamurnia.<br />
The rates of fare on the overland roads arc<br />
two and a half cents a mile, between Sew<br />
Tork and Chicago, five cents a mile on thc<br />
Union, and ten cents a mile, gold, on thc<br />
Central. At these figures, and reducing thc<br />
charges through to gold rates, we get the<br />
following approximate estimates or tbe cost<br />
of a first-clas- s through ticket:<br />
Jftt. rtm.<br />
Sew Tort to Chicico 900 SIS 75<br />
Chicago tc Omaha 1 44 17 41<br />
Omaha to Salt Lata 1,070 40 13<br />
Salt Lake to San Francisco. 77j 77 SO<br />
Total! S,29 353 91<br />
In the statement of distances, six miles<br />
should be added for ferriage from Oakland<br />
to San Francisco, making' a total of 3,905<br />
miles.<br />
The Central Pacific Company promises to<br />
reduce its rate of fare in Jnly next and<br />
this would reduce the charge on the Central<br />
to gold, and the cos! of a through<br />
trip to $115.25. Tbe cost of meals and other<br />
incidental expenses along the road need not<br />
cost more than S25, for a trip consuming<br />
onlv six to eight days.<br />
Tbe final completion of this great road<br />
will be a distinguished event the twenty<br />
years dream of California will be realized,<br />
and a new era of rapid development and sub-<br />
stantial prosperity will begin.<br />
The Alaska Fur Bnslness.<br />
A Committee of the Chamber of Com-<br />
merce of this city, iu a report to that body<br />
on the Alaska For Trade, have made some<br />
Interesting statements They say that the<br />
Russian American Fur Company are reported<br />
to have taken from the various points, within<br />
their field or operations, during 1SC0 and 1S67,<br />
137,943 fur seals, 10.S35 foxes, 13,476 beavers,<br />
7,970 muskraU, 3,905 sea otters, 2,703 land<br />
otters. 6,733 martins, 55S lynx, and 226 bears ;<br />
the skins and oil of all estimated at $1,400,-00- 0.<br />
The fur trade Is the only present wealth<br />
of the country, and 6hould be carefully<br />
guarded. Under proper restrictions, they<br />
see no good reason why the fur trade may<br />
not be thrown open to all The fnr trade is<br />
the key to the commerce of the country, and<br />
they think It nuwise and unfair to allow<br />
one or more companies to have a monopoly.<br />
They recommend that a Territorial Govern-<br />
ment be organized at an early day.<br />
Tbe Orel-lan- alalia,<br />

.,.,... . . , ,<br />
Ogden City, the Western terminus of the<br />
Union Pacific Railroad. The distance from<br />
Ogden City to the eastern end of the Central<br />
Pacific Railroad, Is some 1C0 miles on a direct<br />
course; but owing to the bad condition of<br />
the roads, and the locations of Mail Stations.<br />
Wells Fargo & Co's coaches pass Ha Salt<br />
Lake City, by which route, the distance is<br />
greater than stated. Letters sent by Wells<br />
Fargo fc Co's Express are as much behind<br />
time as those by the maU.<br />
It is probabletbatthe mails will not assume<br />
their wonted regularity for a month to<br />
come.<br />
The long delayed malls are expected to<br />
arrive In this city night This<br />
delay has been the worst we have experi-<br />
enced In a long time, and business has<br />
actually suffered by It ALdTKiZ.<br />
