moneys according to the best ultimate interests OF
the whole country, has been ignored The
mountain road'' between Lahaina and Makawao
presents difficulties which no one who has travel
ed it will forget, and cuts off the most fruitful
agricultural district from one of the best sea-ports.
$50, 900, according to the estimate of a govern
ment superintendent Of public works, and $4O,-
600, according to that of an English engineer,
would construct a road around its base, and IN
any Dutch or English colony this would long ago
have been done. A few thousand dollars ex-
pended at Lahaina would bring down for the
convenience of the town and its shipping, a supply
of mountain water, albeit it might destroy the
present monopoly of watering ships yet they
cannot obtain the money which has been appro-
priated for the improvement. The same town
has an unfinished ~breakwater which has destroyed
one landing, and made the other no better.
The district of Hilo is capable of yielding
enough of sugar alone to pay for all our imports,
but is almost impossible for want of roads and
bridges. Nor will the long-promised Waiiuku
bridge satisfy all the necessities OF the district
though it is a step in the right direction, and the
government shall have the praise of it.
A steamer is soon TO be introduced to run
among our islands. And one of the most I'M
portant measures to facilitate her trade IN COM
mon with that of our coasters, is the erection OF
landing places at each of the principal ports-say
at Hilo, Kealakekua, Kawaihae, koloa, Nawiii-
will. and Hanalei and other places-not expen-
siye structures, but such as will serve for the
speedy shipping and landing of merchandise ana
passengers, without having to go through the
surf. Buoys too are needed, and have long been
called for, and moneys often appropriated Tor
them. have never been obtained.
We do not contend that the rule for distribut-
ing the public money should be according to the
number of square miles in any district, but we
do believe that it should have seference to the
greatest and most solid benefits to be secured.
Good roads, bridges and landings, opening upa
fertile country, and bringing it in closer proxlm-
ity with the metropolis, are the foundation OF a
prosperity which will continue when the now
diminishing whaling feet may be reduced to our
list of whalers owned here, and to the recruiters
and sperm whalers, which. as in former years,
will still visit us.

Nh Ep1roR FL noticed in your paper 2 rev
weeks aeosan article on the subject Of licenses wn'cn
had = souint rather wholesalish about 1t, - = sne
wr;ter belonged to the class of jobbers whose rignes
might have been infringed by retailers.
g far an those remarks went I was much gratined
v;,b them. But 1 regret that they did not cover the
whole ground. They did not suggest that wnoie-
salers might-iust to q frlend-prea
a package, or sell a quantity so small as nnai'y ~
come under the classification of retailing. Neither
did these remarks allude at all to a custom quie
preyalent,-as l have been informed .-of individuals
importing boxes of nice goods, and finding on their
arrival, that they had a little % more tnan tnsy
wished, and therefore could spare'a little to TINS, anu
a few yards to that, and a dozen to another iriend'
lust to accommodate; and thus quite o trade was got
up, without a shadow of license /!
Now. Mr.. Editor, will you just give us the fda0
under which we live, and let US know whether the
merchant who, without a wholesale license, sells a
niece of cotton, denim, ribbon, or toweling, without
cutting, is liable to a fine; and whether one VINO senS
a key of nails, a five gallon tin Of turpentine or oil, n
tin of crackers, a barrel of flour, a saddle, a harness,
or a carriage, is wholesaling or retailing.
Where is the line to be drawn. If selling a whole
key of nails, for instance, is wholesaling, how many
feet of lumber is wholesaling. If a keg OF nails
worth, say So, is wholesaliDg, what kind OF selling
would 1000 feet of lumber be, which is worth from
$50 to $780,? If selling a keg of nails Of 100 pounds,
and worth SO, is wholesaling, is it notwithstanding to
Cell a key of white lead of 100 pounds, which is
worth $12?
If selling a piece of calico, 1000 feet of lumber, a
keg of nails, a pillow, a harness. Sc, &c., is whole
sailing, why then there are lots of people in Honolulu
who must get a wholesale license, or they Will be
hauled up some of these fine days for a violation of
the law, and fined $500.
And wish to submit to your opinion (Which l
trust will be given with all the deAberationo of judicial
gravity whether it is jus. the cheese for a grocer to
sell a dozen cans of oysters under his retail license,
and for a wholesaler to do the same thing under his
wholesale license both breaking a case to do so.
Your fertile Imagination, Mr.. Editor, will supply
q few hundreds more Of perpetual examples on the
subject introduced by your shrewd correspondent.
1 will only suggest that, in order that the payers of
licenses may be protected from both alleged whole
sailing and retailing, the Minister of the Interior

THURSDAY, r g.

II is undeniably a Just proposition that the
disbursements of a national treasury should be
made without partiality toward any favorite sec
ton, always having due regard to the best ulti-
mate interest of the entire country. This prin-
ciple has not, we think, been practically allowed
in the administration of the Hawaiian Govern
ment. For many years there have been just
complaints from different sections of the kingdom,
that their districts have been greatly neglected
in the treasury disbursements, that the appro-
p~riations made to them have been intercepted
at head quarters, and they in consequence have
been left without roads, bridges, buoys, harbors,
and necessary public buildings, such as the
Government ought to make and do for them, and
for want of which their enterprise has been Grip
pied, and the native resources of the country
are undeveloped. Looking at the appropriation
bill for 1859, which has been pronounced by the
highest authority to be the best-considered one
ever passed, We may make a general division of
the six hundred and fifty thousand dollars voted,
as follows:
/. CENTRAL-that is to say, salaries of officers of
the central government, who have general juris-
diction, for the government press, the expenses OF
the legislature, &C., $4,000.
2. GENERALS for assessing taxes, surveying,
road-supervisors, repairs of public buildings,
S4s, 800.
8. OAHU-for the salaries of its officers, local
improvements, with S13 900 private claims of
residents in Honolulu, and $40, 900 for the mill
tary wholly paid and employed in Honolulu,
$4,000.
4. MAUI-S55, 900.
5. HAwAn-$33, 600.
6. KAUAI-SI5,o 800.
Various items to the amount of more than
$4,000, not justly belonging to either of the
above divisions, are not included in them.
The disparity between the amount appropriated
to Honolulu and Oahu, ana the amounts appro-
priated to any and all other parts of the kindom
together, is too obvious and it is further to be
recollected that of the appropriations classed as
90 CENTRAL" by far the greater part is beneficial
to Honolulu and further, that the experience of
all past years gives warrant to believe that the
appropriations for the country will not be ex-
pended there, but will be directed TO swell the
appropriations for the metropolis.
The report of the Minister of Finance to the
Legislature for the last two fiscal years, of the
actual expenditure, sets out yet more forcibly than
the above figures the partial distribution of the
government funds. The report exhibits both the
revenue and expenditure, as follows:

By the arrival of the E. F. WiIletts at II ahaina
on Friday last. we have received California papers of
the Both and news from Europe (the overland Mail)
to the 10th July. The following is a summary.
War and Peace.
Napoleon, on his arrival in France, The was ex-
pected to reach Paris on the 18th July would pro-
coed direct to st. Cloud, deferring his official en-
trance into Paris till he makes it at the head of the
army.
The Emperor and the King of Sardinia entered
Turin on the 18th July, amid the enthusiastic accla-
nation of the people.
The Austrian correspondence officially announces
the conditions of the treaty of peace thus Austria
and France will support the formation of an Italian
Confederation ; Lombardy, as far as the line Of the
Mincio, is to be given up Mantua, Peschiera and
the whole of Venetia remain n Austrian possession.
The Princes of Tuscany and Modena return to their
States. A universal amnesty is granted.
The Vienna correspondent OF the London Times
says that three applications were made by Napoleon
to Austria before she wonld consent to the armistice
and peace. Overtures were made direct by Napo-
leon, for the purpose of preventing mediation by
the neutrals. The same correspondent says that the
Pope was burnt in efigy at Milan, and unfriendly
feelings existed between Napoleon and Victor Eman-
uel. The latter has issued a proclamation to the
people of Lombardy, announcing their annexation to
Sardinia, according to their own desire many times
expressed, and his determination to ameliorate their
political condition.
The Paris .Moniteur gives the following ~explana-
ton
" The great neutral powers exchanged ommun;-
cations with the object of Offering their mediation
to the belligerents, whose first act was to be an arm
Istice, but the endeavor to bring about this result
was not successful until some DAYS ago. when the
French fleet was about to begin hostilities against
Venice and a new conflict before Verona was immi-
nent- The Emperor of Fance, faithful to his senti-
ments Of moderation and anxious to prevent the use
less effusion of blood, did not hesitate to asRure him
self whether the disposition Of the Emperor OF Aus
trla was conformable to his own. 1t was q sacred

The Chinese Physician Question.

Honolulu, Sept. 9th, 1853.
Mr.. EDITOR Allow me through the columns Of
your widely disseminated Journal, to call the atten-
ton of our citizens to a manifest injustice which is
perpetrated on our fellow townsmen, the Chinese, in
the refusal of the Board of Examiners Tor a portion
of them) to grant a certificate for practice to n ply
stefan of that nation. That it may be just in the
majority of instances, I will not deny, and in the par
ticular instance to which L wish to draw attention,
there may be good and ccgent reasons, also, for not
granting the certificate, (or "who shall agree, when
Doctors disagree,'') which I am not aware of, or have
not been made acquainted with. My informants, and
they are of the most respectable and extensive deal
ing Chinese merchants, complain that a physician of
their own nation and Lineage is refused a certificate
or license to practice medicine. and that he will con-
sequently be obliged to leave the country. The Doc
tor in question, (for they say he is legally entitled to
his diploma, having received it at Macao,) has had
charge at one time of Sos Chinese passengers, from
Hongkong to San Francisco; has practiced among the
Chinese population both in Macao and San Francisco,
and has been here since 1852, and was very active
and useful during the small pox epidemic of 1858.
They have the most entire confidence in him, both
for their own families and the laborers on their plan
tations, and in the medicines prepared by him, ac-
cording to the pharmacopoeia of their country. The
Doctor also has the certificates of the leading firms of
the mercantile houses here, to his good character as
q man and a citizen. Can it be just, then, do you or
does any other man of a nicely balanced sense of
right or wrong, think, to keep from such a person a
license by means of powers entrusted to a special
tribunal composed of three physicians, (and | am
told the majority are for granting IT'D Is there no
Interior pecuniary gain to be derived from this stretch
of power? Does it not look as if it was forcing the
Chinese to purchase medicines of the Europeans!
Has it not the scent of monopoly about it?
We all know the Chinese of the sscoolie'' class are
a troublesome and annoying set of people, but no
members of our community are more respected than
the parties who complain of the treatment they are
having melted out to them, in their choice of a physi-
clan, a choice looked upon. and guarded by every
man, as his most especial privilege to exercise.
1t is the first instance, in many years acquaintance,
l have ever known them seek the columns of the pub
lie prints, for an expose Of grievances, and I trust
you will give their humble remonstrance a place in
your paper. TyPHAN.
