Bird. Clay lands which could produce only
wheat beans, and clovet have been made to pro-
duce root crops, thus enabling the naked fallow
to be dispensed with, and permitting the adop-
ton Of much safer and more profitable system
of farming, In which the rearing and feeding OF
stock are combined with the growth Of valuable
grain crops.
4th. Thorough drained fields stand wet and

5th. They are more easily titled, and aie in a
fit state for tiIlagea much greater number Of days
per annum.
9th. All manures produce much greater ef
feet on thorough drained fields than on undrain-
ed ones
The estimates Of cost given in the report are
entirely inapplicabie to our country, and are
therefore omitted. Relative cost. where labor
was the chief element, might possibly remain the
same in the two countries.
With regard to the shape of sewers, it is found
that fiat bottom sewers spread with water, in
creased the friction, retarded the flow, and ac-
cumulated deposite.
l. is also found that first drainers generaly fall
into the error of having their pipes larger than
necessary-in some cases in the proportion OF
thirty-seven to one. The size Of the pipes should
be carefully adapted to the quantity OF wafer
| they have to discharge and exactitude in their
form and accuracy of pointing ale highly desira-
bic. Their functions should not be at right an
giles but in easy curves.
! Experiment has shown that il is not necessary
TO increase The size OF the main in consequence
of the Introduction Of side pipes to such an ex-
tent as had been supposed, as the supply from
the side pipe gives in many cases such increased
velocity to the current in the main as to obvate
the necessity of increased area altogether.
We have given above the main points discuss
ed in the body of the report. Theappendix con-
tains many matters OF practical detail, which we
are compelled to omit for the present. They re-
fer to the quantities of earthwork required in
drainage. the quantities Of rain that filtered
through the soil, the cold produced by evapora-
ton from wet soils, the effects of drainage upon
productiyeness, the cost Of tiles, pipes and la
Dor per acre, and, finally the general sanitary eff
fects of draining. We may recur to these par
ticnlars at some future time. s.

Which bids me keep for him place
Within my memory.
Tell him to wear it, mother dear,
Till earthly bonds are riven;
Tell him to wear it when we meet
In yonder glorious heaven.
And when they lay me in the earth,
With none but angels near,
Bid him seek my lonely grave
And bless it with tear.
And peering thro' nights azure veil,
When stars are shining bright,
I'll bless HIM while he sleeps, mother,
With visions of delight.
And when the rosy night-dews fall
At close of balmy even,

C9th ADrii IS53

Sir.-I have the honor to acknowledge the
receipt of your communication of the 9th
instant, on behalf of the special committee
appointed by the House Of Representatives to
investigate the claims of Messrs. Cuthberl
and Clough for losses resulting to them from
the mob of November last, in which you re-
quest my opinion on the question " Whe-
ther the Government is legally responsible
for damages sustained by individuals through
mobs.''
/ am of the opinion that the government is
not legally responsible for such damages; and
am further Of the opinion, that the enact
ment of any law rendering this governme mt
thus responsible, would be opposed to the
soundest principles of public policy. The
equities of the case may be sufficiently strong
to induce the Legislature to grant such a
claim, as a matter of charity to the injured
persons, but in my opinion it should never
be recognized as legal right.
If in the wisdom of the legislature the
grant should be made, | would suggest that
it be by special act, setting forth in the
preamble the peculiar circumstances of the
case, and expressly denying the responsibility
of the government to pay such claims.
know of no precedent in other countries for
holding governments responsible for such
losses, except it be in virtue of some special
statute or provision in the charters of muni-
cipal corporations. 1t may be said it is the
duty of government to protect every mans
property, and therefore, if any person suffer
loss by violence, he should be compensated
for it out of the public treasury. 1t is un-
deubtedy true, that one of the strongest OBJ
legations of government is to protect us in
our property, but this obligation is bounded
by certain limits, which we cannot safely ex-
ceed. It>is the duty of government 10 pro-
tect us by means of just laws, promptly and
honestly administered; to provide courts Of
justice which shall be open to all persons to
seek remedy for their losses, and to aid the
owner of property in its recovery or an
equivalent, when it has been unustly taken
or destroyed; but to say that government is
bound, in the absence Of any statute to that
effect, to compensate us for all losses we may
sustain at the hands of mob, would in my
opinion be going beyond reason. If under
the general principle of protection, it is bound
to pay all such losses, then it is equally bound
to make good our losses by theft, robbery and
all kinds of violence. To extend the doc
trine of protection to this degree would strike
every mind at once as opposed to common
sense. | remain, sir,
your obedient servant,

Hon. g. Nj. Robertson, speaker of the
House of Representatives.
Sir.-I have the honor to acknowledge
the receipt of your letter Of this day, enclos-
ing an act providing that "No person hold
ing the office Of clerk or head Of bureau
or any office Of like nature, in either oi
the executive departments of His Majesty
government shall be eligible for election to a
seat in the house Of representatives" and
requesting my opinion, as to whether that
act would be an Infringement Of the 18th ar
ticIe of the constitution
The 18th srticle of the Constitution which
prescrbes the qualifications Of representa-
tives, reads as follows: "No person shall
be eligible for representative OF the people,
who is insane, or an idiot, or who shall at any
time have been convicted of any infamous
crime, nor unless he be a male subject or
denizen Of the kingdom, who shall have ar
rived at the full age of twenty-five years,
who shall know how to read and write, who
shall understand accounts, and who shall
have resided in the kingdom for at least one
year Immediately preceding his election. -
This article prescribes the requisite qualif-
cations OF representative of the people,
and the question as | understand it, is, can
the Legislature superadd or impose any
other qualification beyond those provided by
the Constitution. think not The obvious
meaning of the article under consideration
is, though negatively expressed, that every
person who is male subject or denizen oi
the kingdom, who shall have arrived at the
full age of twenty-five years, who shall know
how to read and write, who shall understand
accounts, and who shall have resided in the
kingdom for at least one year Immediately
preceding his election, shall be eligible for a
Polynesian. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu], Hawaii) 1844-1864, 1853-05-28

| representative, provided he is not insane, or an
idiot, or shall not at any time have been con-
victed of any Infamous crime. Now if this
be a fair construction Of the article, then the
| a1 in question is clearly opposed to it, and
hence unconstitutional.
When the constitution prescribes certain
qualifications necessary for an Office, it ex-
ciudes all others, agreeably with the maxim
that, "the expression of one thing is an ex-
clusion of another" If clerks may be ex-
cluded, then merchants. mechanics, farmers,
physicians, lawyers, divines, or any other
class of society may be, and the Legislature
may enact variety Of other qualifications
without reason or end. Let US cite an ex-
ample by way of illustration. When the
Constitution was submitted to the Legislature
for adoption, it contained an article render
ing all clergymen ineligible 10 a seat in the
House of Representatives. and after much dis
cussion. the article wasrejected in both houses
Could the legislature now pass law in
the face Of that decision excluding clergy
men from the House Of Representatives? If
not,-if they are barred by the expressed
will of those who adopted the constitution,
from taking such action, then they are barred
from enacting the law excluding government
clerks.
In no way can answer the question of
the house better, than by quoting the Ian
guage of that distinguished constitutional
lawyer Judge Story The constitution of the
United States on this subject is as follows
/" No person shall be representative, who
shall not have attained to the age of twenty
five years, and been seven years a citizen Of
the United States; and who shall not, when
elected, be an inhabitant of that state in
which he shall be chosen"
Judge Story in discussing the power of
adding new qualifications, says:-"It 1t would
seem but fair reasoning upon the plainest
principles of Interpretation, that when the
constitution established certain qualifications
as necessary for office, it meant to exclude
all other prerequisites. From the very ma
ture of such a provision. the affirmative of
these qualifications would seem to imply a
negative of all others. A powerto add new
qualifications is certainly equivalent to a
power to vary them. 1t adds to the aggre-
gate, what changes the nature of the former
requisites 2 Story's Commentaries on the
page 100.
know of no way in which the object of
this act can be reached, but by an amend
ment to the constitution.
