Mr. McCo ook amd the Ohio Defalca lion

In reply to an insinuation Of the Pioneer
that Mr.. GIRsnN, the late State Treasurer Of
Ohio. had been here this season "speculating
in lots" upon money stolen from the people
of that State, We took occasion to bring tho
| matter uearer home to our prcvaricating and
unfair neighbors, by stating that Mr., BREs-
LIN had also been here, and th,t Mr.. Nc
Cook, his old book keeper, was but recently
an atachec OF the Pioneer office. MIR. Nc
Cook, with an unnecessary degree of sens;-
tiveness. we think, called upon us Yesterday
to know whether we wished to insinuate
that he was party to the rascalty. Such
an idea never entered oul brains; neither will
the sentence complained of bear that con.
struction. We saw the fact stated in the
Ohio papers that he was BREsLIN's book
keeper. end our only cause for using his
name was to show the oGe-Sided course of
the Pioneer in attempting 10 make its read
ers believe that only the Republicans of Min
neso'a countenanced men who have been in
any way connected with the Ohio Treasury
office during the past six years.
No Republican paper in Ohio that we
have seen has accused aIr. McCooK of receiv.
ing any benefit from BREsLIhis dishonest
acts; aud we repeat that our paragraph re.
lating to his connection with that faithless
officer cannot be construed by any impartial
mind IS msking such all accusation when
taken in connection with the extract from
the Pioneer, which formed its text.
Mr.. N Cook informs US that he vas not
connected with the Office at the time the de-
ialcations occurred. We are Very glad to
learn this fact, and thus to set him right
before his friends here at his new home. The
statements of the Ohio papers led US to a
different conclusion, although it does not
necessarily follow, had he even been there as
book keeper at the time, that he therefore
knew what use was made of the money.
We sss-s4Sw convinced Of the fact that

etract its lying charge against him,

The Pioneer OH Banks.

The Pioxeer chuckles over the news that
a small portion Of the defunct Know Moth
ing party in Massachusetts, have agreed to
support the Republican candidate, Hon. N.
p. Banks, for Governor. Hadn't our nei" h.
bors better co"e nearer home, and count up
the number of members of the Plug Ugly
party which they have recently embraced as
good Democrats For instance there is
Judge MEExER, of st. Anthony, and Mr.
SHERBuRNE, of Minneapolis, both recent
Democratic" candidates for the Constitu
tionai Convention. and both of whom would
have voted for the Plug Ugly candidate for
President had they possessed the right last
fall. In fact, we do not know regular Plug
Ugly of last year in the whole Territory who
is not now a regular communicant in the Pro-
Slavery Democratic church.

Ports of the Sandwich Islam ds.-No. 2.

K~EALAKEAKUA, or Kaawaloa as the Hawaiians
generally prefer to call it, is located on the bay of the
same name on the western side of Hawaii, in lat.
100 26 N, and long. 1869 Of w. The bay is about
900 fathoms bread and 1900 fathoms in length.
Kealakeakua was long celebrated as the resi-
dence of the early kings of Hawaii. 1t was in its
neighborhood also that there existed the famous city
of refuge, which afforded an inviolable sanctuary to
the guilty fugitive who was so favored as to gain its
precincts. To it the man-slayer who had broken q
tabu, the thief, and even the murderer, fed from his
incensed pursuers and was secure. Its gates were
always open to admit the refugee. The celebrity
which this port acquired by the visit and murder of
Capt. Cook, and its being laid down accurately on the
early charts, caused it to be visited more by war ships
and whalemen than the other ports of the group.
The village is located on the sea-shore and compri-
ses perhaps a hundred houses. In the farming dis
~tricts, two to four miles from the village quite a large
number of foreigners reside, some engaged in raising
coffee. A number of young orange groves are under
cultivation, which promise in a few years to Weld
large crops.
The best anchorage for ships visiting the bay, is on
the north side under a bluff between six and seven
hundred feet high, one-third of a mile from the sand
beach on the east side, and one-quarter of a mile from
the bluff on the north side of the bay. The water is
from sixteen to twenty fathoms deep. A ship can lie
there at all times In perfect safety from wind or sea.
The northwest part of the bay is about forty fathoms
deep, Outside Of this the water is shoaler, being
