PIDLIC FRtE SCHOOLS ATVD THE
CIVIL II I GUTS UILL.
Political 3Iad5e?s. The Kalcigh Cre-
tent closes aa angry article on the Civil
Right bill as passed Ly the Senaic in this
manner:
"Ve shall insist on the immediate repeal
of our laws providing for common schools
whenever the Legislature assembles. Verily
the Republican party has much to answer
for. It has turned over the South as far as
practicable to a hoi d 3 of thieves and ras-
cals and now forces us. to abolish public
school I Let the white men of North Caro-
lina who have heretofore 'cooperated' with
that party decide now w hether they can
sustain such an outrage. Will they accept
negroism or will they go with us for the
protection of the white race and advocate
no public schools rather than mixed
schools?"
We can understand the provocation under
which sentiments of this kind are expressed.
Rut these aro not tho sentiments which can
lead to the results desired not only by the
editor of the Crtxent but by all who wish
well to the oppressed South. There is no
such issue as "negroism" and the "protec-
tion of the white race" and whoever in
spires it docs harm to negro and white alike.
Reconstruction in the South must come
when the good men of both races under
stand that they have a common interest in
the peace of the community the honesty of
the administration and the rescue of the com-
monwealths of the South from the fearful
state into which they have fallen. The
contest is not between races but between
honesty and dishonest v between patriot
ism and crime. Xew Yvrk Herald. .
We are more and more convinced that
the editor-in-chief of the Herald is from
Xew Eiiyland or received his political teach
ings in that school of politicians. The
Herald Is not the bold unprejudiced paper
that it was; and we now expect upon open-
ing it to find even less rnagnaninity and
fairness in its columns than in a dotrn East
Republican paper. There are so many ex-
hibitions of sectional bitterness that we
cannot pass it by unnoticed. The above re-
markable comments on the extract from the
Raleigh Cretrent is a specimen of the
Herald t lfairne33 and impartiality. But
what does the Herald mean when it savs
'we can understand the provocation under
which sentiments- of this kind ' ore ex-
pressed" and then adds the declaration
that "these aro not the sentiments which
can leac? to the results desired." How in
the name of common sense and reason is
the desired result to be' reacted unless the
press speak out and declare the sentiments
and wishes of the people of the South! If
knowing that the passage of the civil rights
bill will destroy public free schools is it
not better to let the fools in Congress know
it beforehand so that they may if friends
of the negro refrain from doing what will
be of such incalculable injury to the poor
white children of the South . and to the
negroes the interior race and the particu-
lar pets and hobby of the Radical party?
Will the astute Herald answer? But the icr-
ald denies that there is 'such an issue
as "negroism' and the protection' of the
white race." If there is not now tho pas-
sage of the civil rights bill will make such
an issue. But it is true that "whoever in-
spires it does harm to nerjro and white
alike." Therefore all who advocate and
vote for the passage of that bill are the ene-
mies of both races. ; If the Herald intends
to convey this fact then we can agree ; but
It as we.suppose it opposes any ablation
of the question and would have the press
remain silent while the destructionists in-
troduce and pass through both houses of
Congress such a bill of abominations then
we hold. that paper as more guilty than they
are and more to be loathed by the South-
ern people. The bill is not only a fire-ball
thrown at the South and designed in more
than one way to accomplish political pur
poses but is a direct thrust at the status of
society and is intended to degrade a people
who havo risen superior to the misfortunes
and trials which have befallen them by the
results of the war.' Possessing in a very
rcmarkablo degree a spirit of firmness and
devotion to the rights and liberties which
were guaranteed to them by the sirc of
'70 they have refused to bend the knee to
BaaL degrade their manhood their race
and unite with that party which has brought
so many woes upon tho country. This has
been too great on insult to the dominant
party; and hencc-4hey propose to set aside
again the Constitution of the United States
and enter at once upon the task of remov
ing the last vestige of Stale rights so as to
be able to force the Southern people into
affiliation with negroes miscegenation and
the consequent destruction of the virtue
and integrityjof tho .white race. ' This' the
Herald must know will be the: result of
forcing tho white children to attend the
same schools with negroes. That' paper
must know also that it is a matter over
which Congress has no jurisdiction.
There is no clause in the constitution giv
ing any such power. It belongs wholly to
the respective States. Education and suf-
frage must be regulated by local self govern
ment. It never was intended that Congress
should eay who should vote and w ho should
go to school. The regulation of the one is
in a great degree dependent upon the results
of the other. Some States require certain
qualifications of votcis such as ability to
read and writ( another that they own cer-
tain kinds of property and of a fixed value.
Now if Congress has the riqht to interfere
and say who shall go to school and who shall
be the associates of the chiMrenhaJit s the
same right toAsay who shall vote in each
State and who bha'.l hold cHice. That be
irg admitted the strong minded women of
the North would put in their claims for tho
privilege of votirg ns well as of holding
of-'ce; and soon we would teea'.l State lines
broken down and the government merged
into gTindlrg centralism.

sentenced to imprisonment in the peniten-
tiary for life. Jlotions for new trials were
overruled in both cases and defendants ap-
pealed to the Supreme Court. Ephraim
Johnson was also tried but as there was no

entered by the district attorney. ' All of the
accused were negroes.
TUB OIIDEH OP ENOCH.
Brigham Young the prophet of the Lat-
ter Day Saints is a shrewd business old fel-
low who believes in making hay while
the sun shines. Not satisfied with the
riches and honors which have been heaped
upon him by his faithful ignorant follow-
ers he now desires to establish the Order of
Enoch by which he will have the full con-
trol of the soul muscle and property of the
members of his church. Whoever joins the
order agrees and does relinquish for the
common cause (?) all right and title to his
property forever and further pledges him-
self to obey Brigham and his priests in all
things. But it seems that the more intelli-
gent .refuse to be thus made the slaves the
hewers of wood and drawers of water
for " the benefit and gratification of
the few. There are . so many Gen-
tiles at Salt Lake - and they have
acquired so : much ;mfluence over the
Slormons that Brigham cannot manage
them and they feel more independent.
But at St. George 830 miles south from
Utah where Brigham spent the winter the
people are completely under his influence
and do whatever he commands. The pres-
ent aspect of affairs indicates a split in the
happy family ; and it would not 'Surprise us
if the old leader . of Mormonism was cut
loose from his moorings at Salt Lake and
drifted down south to St. George and
finally passed off of the stage "unwept
unhonorcd and unsung." This would . be a
fit finality to his corruption and venality a
sort of poetic justice which sometimes does
overtake bad men.
TIIE UAL LOT FOB WOMEN.
Let pot ocr readers start at the announce-
ment or turn away in disgust. It is the
duty of the press to pursue and oppose
every position ' and attempt to violate the
laws of God and man ; for they arc framed
in wisdom and are tho bulwarks of society
and good government. Human laws may
be and often are defective and need correc-
tion but the laws of God cannot be im-
proved upon. As knowledge increases and
science solves the hidden mysteries of na-
ture it is ascertained and acknowledged
that man has only advanced to the thresh-
old of the great truths which underlie his
moral and physical structure ; that as he
gropes his way along and catches glimpses
of the harmony of all creation he
becomes convinced that the laws of
God as revealed in' the Scriptures
are truly so wiso and beneficent
that they are worthy of Leing placed in the
most conspicuous positions of being writ-
ten in letters of blazing light so that -man
may know how to live to the greatest age in
the enjoyment of health' strength and.
wealth blest with a vigorous and clear in
tellect and having all of his faculties in the
mnat ncrfecfi state of nreservation prepared
to enjoy the pleasures of this life whether
they pertain to the gratification of the body
or mind.
But the modern dreamers and disciples
of innovation discard these laws and scout
the idea that they shall be bound by them.
Like a certain set who held prominent po-
sition in Athens when Paul saw the in-
scription to the unknown God . they are
continually seeking out . something new
some sensation which will attract the
public attention and create a whirl of ex-
citement and gossip. - Like the'abolitionists
before the war who said that they 'would
not read the .Bible because it tolerated
slavery. Puffed up with conceit and well-
ing with great admiration! for themselves
there isome hope that they may bring about
their own political destruction as the frog
in tho fable which in the hope of gaining
the proportions of; an ox swelled and
swelled and then burst. So these deluded
dreamers may in their haste to overturn so-
ciety and bring on a political pandemonium
carry their fanatical ideas to such an extent
as to reveal their true purposes and fall
pierced by the arrows of truth.' So long
at woman suffrage was discussed and con
fined to the conventions of ttrcmg minded
women there was but littlo danger to be
a'pprchcnded from their efforts ; bat wben
we see that this twt has entered the halls of
Congress and is being advocated - by Sena-
tors and Representatives then it becomes a
question for the press to discuss in all its
bearings and influences. Daring the dis-
cussion of the bill to" establish the Territory
of Pembina on the twenty-eighth ult. in
the United " Slates Senate "ilr. Sargent
moved to amend the bill so that the right
to vote or hold office in the Territory should
not be restricted on account of race color
or sex ! He suid he believed the amend
mentwasnot only justified but required
by tho organic law of the United States
Numerous petitions had been presented in
Congress for this right to female's and the
only notice taken of them was to report
them adverselv. In the other house the
Republican party was to a certain extent
p'.edgcd to extend suffrage to females in the
territories
Our readers will at once come to the
conclusion that such an amendment was
promptly voted down in so august(?) a body
as the United States Senate. Let us sec if
only the small men of the Radical party
were ia favor of and voted fcr the amend
ment. The second man to advocate it was
no less a personage than IlY-rtoa ot Indiana
the crest leader and central fare of Riai-
cali;a in the North; the man who Las th;
brains of the party; who r.r.iJa ii what it
is; the nua above all ethers who eLiiroved.

right to a voice in the government that man
had. To give woman the right of suffrage
would elevate suffrage in this country."
The Democrats opposed the amendment
while they would not yield admiration
of woman. They did not believe that
women themselves thought that their hap-
piness or dignity would be advanced by
having all the political rights of man con
ferred upon them ; that neither in England
or this country had women demanded such
rights. They denied that the Declaration
of Independence meant females as well as
males. Just before the vote was taken on
the amendment Mr. Bayard made the fol-
lowing pertinent remarks: .
"He said it seemed hardly possible that
the Senate of the United States proposed
such a change in the very fundamental prin-
ciples of government. Thatsuch a change
as this should be blocked out as an experi-
ment in utter disregard of that decree by
which men and women were created could
hardly be believed. The sexes were differ-
ent physically and mentally yet here was
this poor puny attempt in disregard of
every experience enlightened as it had
been by Divine inteqosition." Such legisla-
tion as this was irreverent and in defiance
of the law of God himself. It would give
two heads to the family and there would
no longer be that unity that subordination
required by the Christian marriage."
The amendment was finally rejected by a
vote of yeas nineteen nays twenty-seven.
But we have seen enough to know
that Radicalism will not stop until
the laws of God and man are set aside and
a government of prejudice passion and
lawlessness is set up and vice enthroned as
the chief divinity. The Bible teaches us
that the man is the head of the family; that
women should learn in. silence at home;
that they should not have a voice even in
the church thus keeping them aloof from
any dangers morally or physically by be-
jng rudely assailed for any interest in a
meeting of members and preserving them
with all ot their 1 feminine graces and
charms ihe purifiers of our homes and ele-
vators of the good true and beautiful.
But Radicalism would plunge them into po-
litical gatherings and destroy their influence
forever. '
RADICAL illOTS.
Just now there is. a fierce little fight going
on;bctween the Radical scouts. The meet-
ing which was held here recently has let
put some bad blood or rather set it to boil
ing; and the consequence is that thing3 are
called by their night names. The San An-
tonio Exijress which is an ultra Radical
paper but now edited with more decency
and ability than formerly lets fiy a shot at
the squad of Radicals who recently con-
vened in this city. Speaking of the Federal
judicial district that paper makes use of the
following language :
The territory is too large for two aud
the population and business are rapidly in-
easing. And we know or no more nttmg
man than either Judge Walker or Judge
Ogden. But the rumor of a desire to pro
vide in the subordinate places for certain
inenli ot the Republican party in this State
whose folly' and general odiousness with
the people have done more to break the
party down than anything else is simply
disgusting. Boys adventurer's and men
who have never done anything for the Re-
publican party buf use it for their own
greed have been gien all the State and
'pdpral "natronao in Texas "with a'few;-
onorablc exceptions xo mcaviuaiva f
gentlemen of standing influence and
talents who have given trie party ail its
character in the State. This has laid the
Republican party flat in this State and will
continue to keep flat until the evil is re-
moved. .
The same paper then pays its addresses to
Tracy basing its remarks upon tho report
of-tho Galveston Mercury in relation to the
Radical meeting here in which Tracy de-
nounced the Federal administration for its
corruption. The Express scalps him in this
style: .
Tracy is a beautiful f cllow to denounce
President Grant postmaster Whittlesey or
anybody else. Tracy talks about buying and
selling offices I Could the history of his
buying and selling offices and the various
Uinila rf iiKrt'' bo nrlr in Iiia Turlnim

more make such speeches. And it can be
made known ne is only angry because he
overshot himself in the insolence of his
corruption and lost everything and then
vainly tried to get the postoffice back after
it had been given to V uittlesey. .
A STKANGEB IlETrnJUNG.
Last week we all witnessed the United
States Senate engaged for about twenty-four
hours at a stretch in passing a bill for the
beneht of the negro merely out of a senti
mental sort of deference to the wishes of a
deceased Senator. Respect for the dead is
incumbent on us all but legislation should
be based on a careful and. wise regard for
the welfare of the living not upon "man-
dates" real or fictitious of the dead. The
negro has had a very fair amount of pro-
tection. It is important I efore going any
further to find out what use he has made of
the freedom given to him ; in what way he
has exercised the vast political powers with
which he has been. endowed; what sort of
a government he has helped to set up in the
States where he is most powerful; whether
in short he at this moment stands in need
of protection from the white man or
the white man stands in need of
protection from hm. If Mr. Eaton the
newly elected Senator from Connecticut in
tends to raise these questions depend upon
it he will obtain an audience and he can
notbe suppressed by howls and groans and
we for our part shall not join in any such
attempts at suppression. We should like
to seo the question taken up by Republi
cans oilr. Carpenter made a great begin
nin'r in reference to Louisiana. Such i
work would be far more conducive to the
prosperity of the party and to the cause of
good government now ana hcreaitcr man

the most ample protection for all of
their . personal and political rights! And
it is contrary to custom to order
to improvement that a party should be
ad vanced to a higher degree in any order
or science before he had made the proper
advancement ia those into which he had
leen inducted. The negro was suddenly
emancipated and placed in the enjoyment
f rights and privileges to which he had
been a stranger. lias he made the proper
use of the opportunities thus conferred
upon him for his mental and social eleva-
tion? Has he improved his time and made
advancements in the privileges thus sud-
denly cast around him? Has he in other
words mastered the first lessons which
were giren him and" now stands elevated
and - enlightened purified and ennobled
pre parcel to advance still higher and to
take his place as an equal by the side of the
white man? If he has then the Senators
might be excused for the dis"Tistin?
lisplay of mock . philanthropy which
was played on the memorable night
preceding the day of the passage of the
bill of abominations when they went
out of the Senate Chamber to avoid
hearing the truth.
But what do we see? Instead' of im
provement there is retrograd&tion a falling
off a lapsing into barbarism. In the States
in which they have been in the majority in-
stead of showing their capacity for self-government
they have brought financial ruin
and so far as they could social demorali-
zation upon the people. In no Bense- have
they profited by the rights and privileges
conferred. -With the exception of a few.
they are to-day in a worse condition than
when they "were slaves and had some one to
think for and take care of them provide
food and clothing and medicine and nurses
whe.needed. It is well that the Time has
noted their present condition. Their status
will throw a flood of light upon the question
of increasing the privileges which they enjoy
and of dissipating the erroneous opinions
and conclusions of the negro worshippers.
It will show that the whites are really the
ones who arc ia danger and need protec
tion from negro rule and negro dishonesty.
And we are truly rejoiced that the Times
has the manliness and boldness to announce
that it will stand by Mr. Eaton if he should
raise such . questions and will not be de-
terred from doing so by the howls and
groans of any one. - It is evident that the
Times is convinced beyond doubt that the
negro has received sufficient attention ; that
the laws already enacted for his benefit are
ample and sufficient to protect him in every
right and that the attempt to drag the white
man down to his level Is a sin against God
and a violation of good government. Any
legislation which injures one class for the
benefit of another is contrary t6 sound po-
litical economy and will bring destruction
upon any goverment which tolerates the
practice long. Enough has been done for
the negro. Let him alone. If he cannot
rise to a higher plane than he new occu-
pies it will bo the strongest evidence of
his incapacity ..and .lack . of those sterling
qualities which have gradually elevated the
white race in tho arts and sciences and
made it the wonder and admiration of the

It is not a matter of surprise that such a
set of crazy fanatics as now congregate at
the capital of the United States as Senators
and Representatives ehould fail to take ac-
tion: upon a matter of so much vital im-
portance directly to the people of the State
of Louisiana and indirectly to the people of
all tho States. They with a few honora-
ble exceptions arc too much engaged in
public plunder and in devising ways and
means for party triumph and selfish advan-
tage in the future. Like Ephraim they are
joined to their idols ; let them alone. We
must turn. away from them sick and dis-
gusted with their immeasurable meanness
and corruption. They are too : blind in
their party zeal to look to the benefits of
the country at large; too deaf to hear the
appeals and warnings which go up from the
masses in such thundering tones as would
make even a Catalint tremble. But they
see not hear not. Satisfied with the green
pastures in which they feed they cannot be-
lieve that a storm is gathering which will
sweep over them like a sirocco and destroy
the pleasant fields and golden streams in
and by which they ar so festive and gay.
The opponents of corruption are gathering.
They will come from every section and will
fall in and be led by the Democracy. Ore-
gon has already spoken out. Demo-
cracy hai again triumphed. Other States
have heretofore triumphed. Connecticut
has elected to the United States Sen
ate a man who has sounded the key
notes of triumph. But these are mere
skirmishes in comparison with the great
battle wLich will take place. We look con-
fidently to the future ; to the intelligence
and virtue of the American people. They
are not blind ; they can see how the masses
have beca plucked and swindled by those
who were elected to legislate for them.
They know that honesty is no longer re-
spected and honored ia the capital ; that
rings and jobbers control the legislation
and that Congrcsamca with itching palms
seek cot every chance cf robbing the treas
ury and filling their own pockets with ua-
ho'v gain. Yc-the time will come when

Such an invention might be used to very
great advantage in raising water from
streams for irrigating purposes which
would do away with the heavy labor and
great
cost of
cutting
canals and large
ditches. A reservoir could be constructed
near the stream in. which water would be
pumped whenever there was any wind
blowing sufficient to propel the 6ails and
thus there would always be a large supply
on hand which could be tapped and dis-
tributed over the land at will. In Western
Texas the farmers ought to havo just such
pumps so that they would not be ruined by
the drought. If they would pay a little at-
tention? to machinery they might be placed
m an independent position and always make
good paying crops.
UII1T OF TIIU FCTl'HEt
It would be foolish in us to attempt to
foretell what is m futurity. But all of us
have a desire to comprehend what certain
causes may be reasonably supposed to bring
about. Therefore while we shall not at-
tempt to lay bare the great future unknown
we may be pardoned for attempting to re-
view briefly some of the more prominenl
events which may be reasonably judged to
lie at the threshold of the near future.
On every side we witness a very re-
markable spirit of unrest of uncer-
tainty of doubt as to what may take
place. This remarkable disposition is
not confined to one locality but seems
universal. Great changes are believed
to be at hand. In the United States politi-
cal and social revolution is looked for. The
very foundations of the government are be-
ing assaulted; and although it is believed
that the virtue and ..intelligence of the
American peop.e will be found equal to the
emergency and will continue to preserve
in all of their nurity the spirit principles
and form of government still we know
that there .are. many-rrwho ought to blush
for the demoralization of their views who
come put boldly and say that Republican
government is a failure and that we can
only havo stability and protection by a
stronger or monarchical government. The
throes of the great civil revolution through
which we but; recently passed have not
ye subsided ; - and many persons
whom we supposed to bo firmly at-
tached to "Democratic Institutions are
drifting along the tide of passing political
events' entirely cut loose from their moorr
ing3 and watching out for the first secure
harbor into which they propose to rest
from the cares and perplexities which now
surround them. It is therefore evident that
there are dangers ahead of us and that if
there ever was a time when we needed ir?
wise and experienced navigator to take the
helm and steer the ship of State through the
breakers that time is pon us now. The
ttuc is aooui iu iuiu. it . ..v. iamujjj
man? Grant it is predicted by ouc who
professes to read the future and who de-
sires that his prophecy maybe put upon
record will be a candidate again in
187G . and he asserts will bo supported
by the Southern Democracy. Whilo we
do not credit every prediction still
it must be admitted that much has transpired
of late which points in that direction. It
is plain that a change has come over his
views or feelings and that so far as infor
mation' can be gleaned from his associa-
tions he is 6tudyipg and marking out his
future political campaign with as much
studiousness and care as he did his cam-
paigns during the war. It is Baid that he
will veto the ciriZ rj'jhtslill if the House
should pass it. It can be readily seen
what effect such a measure would have
upon the country and the South particu
larly. ' It Would place him in the front
ranks of the friends of the South ; and how'
ever much the people of this section con
demn his actions heretofore they might rea-
son in t hi3 way : He is not our choice but we
do not wish" to bo beaten. He has been
against us but in the hour of our greatest
need he came to our assistance and vetoed a
measure passed -for our humiliation and
ruin. uould it not be better to run
him with almost the certainty of success
rather than another man who might be
bcatcsi . . :.
As strange things have happened ; and we
may bo driven -to his-support as the only
way to escape from greater evils.
Ia Europe there is the same unrest. All
f the great powers are anxious and con-
cerned; while Germany and France glare at
each other like angry tigers. Germany only
lacks a pretext to declare war against France
so that she may be crushed forever her
power destroyed and her pride humbled
As in the political so in the scientific
world there is the same unrest. New
theories arc being advanced and new ex
periments made for the purpose of develop-
ing facts which will confirm important
truths and overthrow erroneous conclu
sions. And in this connection the Bible
and science receive about equal examina
tion.
But the nekl or invention promises
greater discoveries and greater benefits
than any ether. So much Las already been
accomplished by the inventive genius of
man that the whole world is c 1 the lookout
for still more important inventions which
will rtvolutionize labor change the powers

travel and turn the world about but fill

DECOilATIOX DAY.
The thirtieth ultimo was obse rved gener-
ally at the North as Decoration Day or the
day for strewing flowers upon the graves of
the soldiers who fell during the late war
either ia camp or hospital or on the field cf
battle. The feelings of the Northern peo-
ple Lave changed very much within the last
year or two; they even placed flowers upon
the Confederate dead who still repose in
the soil north of Mason's and Dixou's line.
For this we are ready to give them credit
and for every act which shows that they are
actuated by a proper spirit. But there was
one little incident which greatly marred the
the harmony of the occasion and showed
that within the Northerners' breasts a
feeling of bitterness rankled and a
spirit of 11 ' intolerance had dominion.
Whilo the procession was passing down
Broadway New York the spectators dis-
covered the following inscription outside of
one of thc stores on Broadway the proprie-
tor of which was a Southerner: " We have
no flag to hang out to-day. The banner of
Lee and Jackson under which we fought
is furled forever; but rcmelnleriiig the
Federal troops who decorated the graves of
the Confederate dead at Mobile and At-
lanta we close our doors out of respect to
the Federal soldiers who sleep upon every
battle field of the South." This was enough
for the Federals. Crowds gathered around
the store throughout the day and great in-
dignation was manifested.. Finally three
men passing along noticed the inscription
pulled it down and threw it into the gutter
which put an end to the excitement as the
owner of the store made no protest. Com-
ment is unnecessary.
The leading thinking rdiaUe men of the
Democratic party aloug with a largo ma-
jority of the people deem it inexpedient to
nave a constitutional convention yet be-
cause of the financial strait of the Siate and
the scarcity of money generally but when
the Legislature meets again in January next
and money mutters become easier we are
sure the convention will be taken in serious
consideration and prompt action be had
upon the question. llunton Ajf.
Indeed. When did the Aje find this out?
Was not the Age ia favor of a Constitut ional
Convention?. Will the Aye give us tho
names of the prominent Democratic papers
which opposed a convention. We mean
papers whoso Democracy was of the nimon
pure sort; not those which were all things
to all men that they might float upon the
tide of popular favor. Come neighbor you
know we have put you down as of the nqnare
Democracy and. we hope that you will not
be found with the black sheep.
Of course it is not now expected that a
convention will be called before January;
but the Age1 article might be supposed to
assert that heretofore the leading members
of the party opposed a convention. Tho
article of the Age looks very much like go-
ing out of tho path to make an attack npon
a gentleman whose offending if at all was
only in accordance with the Democratic
platform and the wishes of a largo majority
of the Democratic papers of the State and
we believe of the people.

How did you get in? Did you dig in the

discordant notes of the- bagpipe than' the

Tue finances of Hawaii arc in a sad con-
dition and may drive the people into an
ncxation to the United States as a remedy
for the evil. As yet they arc bitterly op
posed to such a measure and some carry
their ill feeling to such an extent as to op-
pose the appointment of any foreigner to
office. The falling off of exports and the
emigration of the natives to California Ore
gon -Washington Territory and in a few
instances to the British colonics is having
a very marked effect upon the stability of
the government and the prosperity of tho
island. Whenever the king shall fail to
raise a sufficient amount of money to eup-
port the government annexation will fol
low." It is vain to expect such a people to
sustain and maintain a decent government.
