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 />
