The personal taxes, school, road and poll,
amount to five dollars, which must be paid, or
worked out, by every taxable man, leaving the
excess above that sum for the average of property
taxes.
The sugar plantations do not contribute SO
largely as we had expected. Four plantations in
Hilo make less than one tenth of the assessment
of that district two in Makawao make about
one fifth and the total of all the sugar planta-
tons in the kingdom less than two hundred thou
sand dollars.
In the road tax there is a falling off of nearly
four thousand dollars, which will probably be
made up by working out personal taxes where the
party has no property to be levied upon. The
net returns to the government from the tax on
property are estimated by our cotemporary at
SIS 900. Probably it will somewhat exceed
that amount. The result will still be small,
and not commensurate with the labor and expense
Of obtaining it.
A further examination of the above table would
elicit other observations, but we have perhaps
said enough for the present, and prefer to await
the actual results as they shall be shown by the
tax collectors returns.

is a grave question as to the legality of any asses
sment at all in the premises. The law un-
der which assessors are appointed, their du-
ties prescribed, an assessment ordered, and a
and a per centage of the valuation taxed, is a por-
ton of the New Civil Code, which, by its own
express provision, came into force only on the
first of August of this year, but which was not
completely published in any form until the first
day of October, when, in the English version,
the last of it was given in our columns with the
signatures of the King and the Kuhina Nui
without which, publication cannot be considered
to have been made. The publication of the ma
tive version in the Haze Haoaii reached yesterday
to section 7S4, leaving I'll sections unpub-
lisbed, and no part of it made valid by the sane
ton of His Majesty's and the Kuhina Nuts con-
sent. Nearly four months will be required to
finnish the publication in the native gazette.
By section LIST, no written law shall be obliga-
tory without being first printed and made public.
In the book form it has been ssprinted'' but not
public The native public cannot
obtain 06nies, and except the native judges, very
few have seen, and none perhaps had opportunity
to read one. To the piecemeal publication of
the sections relating to special subjects it will be
seen, we give no attention in these suggestions.

From Godcy's Lady's Book.
In all the pretty village Of Snowdonvillc,
ahere wns not prctticr nor happier little
maiden than Jessie Harris. She was the on
Ay daughter Of poor, hard-working widow,
who had lost her husband, ard received
son on the same night George Harris had
b,een a quarryman in the large stone-works
that were few paecs from his little house
--.,.,d had-hoan killed by fsli down deep
ditch Ills widow heard the news while she
was anxiously waiting his return TO bless his
new born son, their only boy. Little Jessie,
rthen about three years old, and George, the
infant son, were thus leit fatherless. Much
sympathy was shown in SnoWdonville for the
widow, and the wealthy ladies, Mrs. Ralston,
Mrs. Hewitt, and some others, sent her plain
sewing TO do, paying her a fair price and
thus enabled her to support herself and chill
.dren. quite comfortably. AZ the time my sto-
~ opens, y essie was about eleven years old,
and George eight. Jessie was the beauty
and the pet Of the village school With
dark, waving hair, and soft hazel eyes, ana
rich, healthy complex ion, she had a right to
claim the first, and her talent and industry
won her the last. "As pretty and smart as
Jessie Harris, Twas quite u saying in the viii
lage.
My story opens on a dark and clustering
wiaier evening, when the snow fell thick and
fast, and the high wind threatened to shake
in the windows Of the little cottage where my
heroine lives. Widow Harris was seated
near the FIRE sewing and Jessie's nimble fin
gera kept time with hers as she put patch
on Georges school coat. George as spe-
cial privilege lay on the settce, ready to 60
10 bed, but permitted TO stay with his mother,
because the wind made him afraid TO go up
stairs alone.
"Mother," said Jessie, "NIiss Miles said
something very nice to me to-day"
"Whut was it, my daughter ?" inquired
Mrs Harris.
"She said that If 4 study very hard and
improve az much as / have done, / will be
able to take the school when / am old
enough. She wants to give it up, but she is
so attached to the girls that she will not do
so until some one can take her place that she
can feel confidence in. Mother mother
what was that ?"
They were all on their feet with white ia
ces and trembling figures. fearful crash,
followed by shrek of agony, had caused
Jessie's exclamation. With trembling fin
gers Mrs. Harris unlatched the door. The
wind blew it open and drifted the falling
snow into the room. Nothing was heard for
an instant, but the bowling of the wind then
there came low moan, and voice cried
"Helpp
"Mother, some one has fallen into the
quarry" And Jessie sprang out. al know
every step of the way, do not fear for me. .
Then, raising her voice she Dried, Courage

raging storm, Jessie went forward to find the

southern MornI OF Hnrper,s Ferry

The Richmond Enquirer declares that Wise's
stock for the Presidency has gone up 100 per
! cent. since the Harper's Ferry affair; and that
Harper's Ferry has conquered Harper's Maya
zine. 1t says the authority Of law and order
has supplanted negative and non intervention,
and that the "moral of Harpers Ferry teaches
that Intervention of authority, both State and
Federal, is demanded as much in the States as
in the Territories. Intervention is not wanted
to introduce, but to protect Slavery"
The Enquirer in snufing the blood of Brown
grows bold and defiant, and brings the Northern
Democracy up TO the buliing with run
The lash is also applied with will, and North
ern Democrats have only to read the Enquirer
10 understand the ultimatum the South will
present at Charleston. The Enquirer thus
marks out the programme of that slaughter
house in black and white in its issue of Nov.
9th Read it, ye Democrats who bend the neeks
to Southern collars:
Upon the Charleston Convention will de-
yolye the duty Of drawing line of demarka-
ton, broad and distinct in platform and can
didate, from Black Republicansm. No COM
promise will bo entertained The South knows
its rights, aud Harper's Ferry teaches that she
must maintain them. Should the Union sur
viye the approaching Congress, the Charles
ton Convention will decide its fate. If
the South is permitted by the existing
Union to meet Northern Democracy in
Charleston, consultation will be called
and deliberated The fret men of the
South aill be there assembled. No scheming,
plotting politician, seeking opportunity to bar
ter their rights for public punder, will be able to
crafty his reasonable propensties, but in firm,
ness aud with dignity, the doctrine Of interven-
ton for protection will be insisted upon the
South, and the representatives of the Northern
Democracy will decide the issue.
If for intervention tho nomination will be
proceeded with, lfagainst, there will be leave-
taking, bidding adieu, separation, disunion, se-
cession, that will be not only prOgnostic, but
potent shadow of coming events cast warningly
before, to inform and deter. The Dem cratic
candidates must be presented to the people Of
all the states, upon the ultimaium of the Con
stltution, as Understood and decided by the Su
pTeme Court, II there are not conservatives
enough at the North TO elect conservative can
didates, there will scarcely be found oonserva-
tiyes enough at the South to save the Union.
