PETITION OF A NUMBER OF CITIZENS
OF THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA.

To the Hon. the Senate and House Of Rraeseniaiires:
The undersigned respectfully suggests that mea-
be taken for examina ion Of the aous sys-
tens Of education Of the States of Union and Of
her nations far praelir able and that the best
system which be devised be adopted FOR the cities
and counties of the District of Columbia Ia PORTION
of the unoceuped grounds of Government, would
adord some good locations for teachers and school
houses and ihusian impulse may be given TO the
introduction of The best systems OF education ia all
the States Of Union, in the Re, ublics and
in other nations, and signed by hundreds Of
RESPECTABLE citizens.
II is an axiom with distinguished statesmen,
that Government is great moral social and poIii-
ca artnership; ii is The duty Of all to and ed
ucaie all The children and youth Of nation morally
intellectually physically, and politically for the good
OF all A b. C. X Y. and c. For the greater
(Ircmoton and) security Of virtue, of person OF pre-
perry and of Government. +" Educated people pro.
duce in the time, with The same materials
with more comfort"
We hope that the time is not distant when those
who feel the deepest interest in education will COOP
crate in making The instructions in he pubic schools
equally good any that can be obtained by pri-
waite schools. We think tina, The orinion and er-
ample Of Daniel Webster this point worthy to be
followed by all. IT, said he, had as many son

schools; and 1t is reproach tina, The public schools

as and the recognition by Great Britain, the courts
Of the domicil of French and Greenway to whose
creditors that money belongs, arc the only proper
authority to receive such deposit, and discharge the
holder from further responsibility on account of the
custody of it.
MIR. Skinner further declared that he objected 10
the money being paid over to Mr.. French, because
he has no right to demand the property of Mr..
G%reenway.
The Attorney General in behalf of the court deci-
ded that Mr.. French has the sole right to regulate
the custody OF the funds belonging to the estate Of
Francis John Greenway and William French, and
that if Mr.. French orders them to be paid into this
court, that this court is the proper place to de-
Posite them. And that if after such deposite any
party wishes to litigatc the disposition of those
funds 1t will be proper for such party to make appli-
cation to the court for that purpose.
MI. Skinner also further objected to paying the
interest on the sum demanded declaring that it had
never been used by him in any way whatsoever, bu,
that he had always been ready to pay it over to any
person authorised by Mr.. Greenway's creditors to
receive il.
This objection the court ovcrruled, and an order
being presented to the court drawn upon MIR. Skin
ncr for the principal 81 1921 So and interest, $56s

as to acquit Mr.. Skinner of that sum, who thereup-
on paid into court for Francis John G~reenway's cred

dcd, $500 so

Polynesian., 1844-08-31

We are directed to correct the comment
in our last upon the petition of subjects at
Hilo praying that a %licence be not granted
to retail ardent spirits at that place. The
comment was as follows:-
"Coasting ressels should beware of taking
liquors to that island, as by so doing they will
be liable to a fine, and mag become inrolred
in difficulties Nth the local authorities." 1t
should read thus:-
"Coasting vessels should beware of Ia
king liquors to that island, as by retailing
them there they will be liable to a fine, and
may become involved in difficulties with the
local authorities"
Our statutes forbid the retailing of liquors
without ~lisence, and the word "retailine" as
applicable to liquors, means the selling of
them in less quantities than one barrel, cx-
ccpt when bonds are given by wholesale
merchants. We make this correction lest
the loose comment Of last week, should by
misapprehension bring the government into
conflict with its treaty engagements to His
Most Christian Majesty, the King of the
French, which it is not the intention to do.
God grant that by a speedy new modelling OF
our foreign conventions, those of His Majes-
tvs subjects who desire to keep sober, indus
trious and provident, may do so without being
compelled by contract to have liquors brought
to their doors. The resisting such a seduc-
tive temptation on the part Of persons recent
ly reclaimed from habits of intemperance is
a severe struggle, amounting to a species OF
martyrdom-"a modification Of the flesh" as
st Paul would call it, or as the Saviour him
self has said ga taking up the cross" in the
cause Of morality.
