cation suspedg the execution Of the resolution la
ton to the obstruction in Eleventh streotwest.1 ~

days. when the pregnant hinges of the knee"
are so readily bent, that thrift may follow
fawning," that u majority of the Board Of AL

We intend to keep an eye upon each and all
of these learned Thebans. Before VIC are done,
one or more will not lisp much in favor Of the
liberty of the press, even though it sustain the
masses The friends of free discussion seek
not such favor, and they certainly fear not such
feeble frowns; on the contrary, they defy any,
the slightest, effort Of any influence of theirs to
lessen the popularity of those members who
sustain the rights of persons and OF property
The case was treated as SO clear one, that
more g words. words, words,'' as Hamlet has
it, were deemed as unnecessary as the act of
aggression itself. m.t aH .a.a.s. s..s .aE&

discharged" The Mayor, if wise, will here
after hesitate, ere he be involved in similar
dilemma, either by an agent, or through the
| want or proper and timely consideration. His
motives are not questioned, nor was he dam
aged in his course. Strength and good cause,
sooner or later, are too powerful even for the
desires of the enterprising, who are invariably
closely watched, for fear of trenching on others
| rights, while pursuing even their own honest
ends for living. Bosterers, also, are equally
scrutinized. -,.
The day has gone by for precipitate action.
4 Hitherto, in some instances, q ministerial Off
Ger has inconsiderately done acts which, in
Europe, not monarch would have attempted
without periing his life and crown! In this
country it is always the interest of the people
to sustain the people; and the most plausible
Entertainments on the rights secured by the
common law are rebuked invariably by the in

esq, IT, s. consul at Lahaina, which gives the
latest intelligence relating to the difficulties be-
tween the French and Hawaiian governments.
The letter is dated at Lahaina, March 8, and
says: ....
"The negotiations which during several weeks
past have been conducted between Mr.. Perrin,
the French commissioner and this Government
have been brought to an unsatisfactory conclu-
sion. .....,
"All the matters occurring during the last ten
years, upon which the French have founded
their complaints against the authorities Of these
islands, have been calmly considered by the
negotiators and it is understood that the only
substantial and incurable difficulty grows out
of the demand of the French commissioner that
portion of the funds applied to the purposes
of education shall be appropriated to the Cath
olics residing here, and that Catholic minister
of public instruction shall be associated with
the present incumbent of that office, to the end
that the fund may be duly watched for the
Catholic benefit 1t is understood that the
Government has declined acceding to this re-
quiremcnt, and Mr.. Perrin viii accordingly

OMNIBUsEs.-Messrs. Editors: We respect
fully suggest to the proprietors of the Omnibus
Lines, aud other capitalists, the propriety of
reducing the fare to three cents When, some
years since, l23 cents was charged, not more
than fifty or hundred persons rode in the
course Of day. Now, when the fare is reduced
one hdb, there cannot be less than two thousand
day A reduction to three cents could not
fail to increase the travel three, perhaps five
fod and much greater profits would be realized
than at present. On an average, the omni-
buses now running would carry three or four
times as many passengers as they actually do,
and with the proposed reduction they would
always be crowded. The new three-cent coins
will be the very stuff to fork over to the driver
and it might be made condition of the low
fare that the passengers should make change
themselves, either in the new coin or otherwise,
and thus avoid detention.
