DEAR SIR viii you be SO good as to publish the
following.
I, a Minister of the Gospel Of Christ, and resident
for the most Of the time during the past twenty-five
years at Waialua. published in the Haze Ha.caii, over
the signature "Ikemaka,' a very brief account of
the election at waialua- l did it, hoping to prevent
many. and foolish exaggerated statements which
almost always go abroad among natives where the
truth is not told. The truthfulness Of every word
that 1 caused to be published, I could easily prove,
were | called to do so.
j. P. Fl. Kauwalu has caused to be published in
the Haze Hawaii a statement, in which he says
every word uttered by 'Ikemaka" from beginning
to end is false. This statement was made by a man
who came to Waialua with a letter of church member
ship from Hawaii. He has since then been cast off
from the church for drunkenness and repeated instan-
ces of falsehood. With these statements I am willing
to leave all to judge where truth may probably be
found.
As to the false, slanderous, and often repeated
abuse of the editor Of the PoIynesian upon Protestant
Missionaries in general, and myself in particular,
among good people there is no need Of contribution;
the writings bear their own refutation.
I win only say of the editor as David did Of Shimei.
Let him curse" Yours truly.
is Enr..os.

A GRAND PRoJEcr-An Englishman, Charles
Boyd, has proposed to span the straits of Dover with
a railroad tubular bridge, connecting England with
France, and reaching from Dover Cliffs to Cape
Grisnez. He says, in the London Times, that it has
every prospect of success He has submitted the
scheme to the Emperor of the French. We learn
from his letter in the Times that the proposed bridge,
or viaduct, is designed for the purpose Of uniting the
railways in Britain with those Of continental Europe
generally. The English terminus of the bridge will
rest on Dover Cliffs, to give the necessary altitude
above the level of the sea, for the free passage of
vessels Of the largest dimensions, and the bridge will
be supported across the straits by towers rising from
the bed of the channel, at equal distances spart, saw
of about five hundred feet; the summit of each tower
will form a lighthouse, and contain q gas reflector
and an alarm, for the double object Of guiding ships
by night, and of warning them Of danger in time Of
fog; the gas to be lighted at sunset throughout the
whole line of viaduct, and the alarm to be set In
action when necessary, In either case by electric ap-
paratus, and at the will OF the superintendent at
either terminus The towers ut water-mark will be
fitted with "fenders,'' to prevent accident to shin

approaching to which will require to be brought to
the same elevation or level as the English terminus.
The viaduct will be about twenty miles in length
and could be traversed by a train in twenty minutes
at all seasons of the year. The greatest depth Of the
straits is about twenty-one faxhoms, and the ordinary
depths from twelve to fourteen fathoms, with . chalk
foundation; and although the proposed bridge is Of
tubulsr formation, it would be constructed 80 that
the light Of day may illumfne it in daytime. and 4

The Convention.

The Democratic County Convention
which closed its labors yesterday, was
by far the most harmonious and enthn-
siastic that has transpired in the count Y
during the past three ye1rs. Anex-
cellent ticket has been presented, upon
a platform Of sound Democratic prin-
ciples. as declared and established by
the founders of the Republic, and up
held by the time houored Democratic
party. The proceedings together with
the resolutions, viii be found in to.day's
paper. They pander to no section,
aud recognize only a common country,
governed by the majority of its citizens.
The principles there avowcd, will be
enthusiastically sustained by the citi-
zens Of Butte. Let sectional fanatics
rail on. Those of the South NAV crv
"Black Republicanism''-and those OF
the North may raise the cry of "Slave
Democracy" II is the only argument
with which they can combat the true
principles of self-govcrnment. We
commend the action of the Democracy
Of Butte to the party in other counties
where conventions are vet TO be held
The ticket will be placed at the head
of our columns on Monday The
scarcity of extra help and other cir
cumstanccs combined, compel us to
postpone that with other matter, which
should have appeared to day.
