The CHEvAfLER FoRSEY's POLITICAL SupPERs.-
The Cheralicr Forney, taking his cue from the
immortal George Sanders (secesh) has adopted
the practice of giving political dinners and sup
pers II Sanders wished to overthrow Louis
Napoleon, or to nominate a President or elect
one his grand coup d'etat was luxurious snp-
per to mixed company of hungry and admir-
ing politicians. When tho wine was in the wit
came out, and Sanders ruled the roast, as We
ritable Warwick, the King Maker. Forney, an
old apprentice Of Sanders, has set up in this
business for himself. His last experiment was
petit soMper, at which he made Damon Of
Secretary Cameron and Pythias of Prentice,
the bon riOant Of the Louisville Journal. 1t was
great success. General Cameron pronounced
Prentice the saviour Of Kentucky, and Prentice
pronounced Cameron the identical man to carry
US through this war in blaze Of glory. But
while each Of these well pleased men was vet
walking in the lavender of this love feast, 10
and behold the Louisville Journal pounces upon
Cameron as hereto, and demands that he be
carted off to the guillotine. Prentice, like
Greeley after the battle Of Bull run, has to
come out and declare that he does not control
his own paper; and SO the good work of For
ney's oysters and wine is spoiled. Forney will
have to try it again, and let Greeley be present
next time, SO that Prentice may keep his wits
about him.

Importance than the school officers of the several

GREELEY IN THE PIILoRY.-In reply to
query of Mr.. Ledger Bonner, Greeley is report
ed to have stated that he wrote the "leader" for
the Tribune and few squibs every day, and
two leading articles for every Mondays paper.
Now, some of the articles which brought about
the Bull run massacre were "leaders;" and yet
Greeley said in his piteous "Just Once, that
he never wrote an article upon the subject, nor
even one of the Forward to Richmond" squibs.
Truly, liars should have good memories, or at
least keep their contradictions out of print.

GEORGE OPDYKE m THE HANDS OF SATAN
Sorry and sad must be those who desire that
the conservative character of New York city
should be maintained inviolate, that Mr.. OPP
dyke has become SO completely wrapped up
IN the folds of abolition. In yesterdays paper,
he publishes the card which we give below, to
the ehect that he was not present, and did not
authorize the use of his name as Vice President
OF the meeting at the Cooper Institute, when
the Massachusetts Senator poured forth rehash
OF his Satanic sentiments, in favor of the wor-
ship OF the almighty niger. This card, the or
gans of Mr.. Opdyke say that the HERALD refused
to publish. This is simply talschood. 1t was
never offered to the editor Of this paper nor in
any other way so that it could be printed It
reads as follows

Very truly yours, GEO. OpDYKE.
SUNDAY EVENING, Dec. 1, 1891
Now, what does this show! Nothing more
than that the anti-slavery fanatics, who con-
vened the Cooper Institute meeting, thoroughly
understanding the nature Of Mr.. Opdykes po-
litical sentiments, put his name down, together
with those of Goodell, johnson, Cheever,
as one of its Vice Presidents. They would
never have ventured or thought of using
it, if his views had not perfectly CO.
incided with theirs, and if they had not
felt sure of his sympathizing with their proceed
ings and resolutions. IN stating the facts, as
they were said to have occurred, the HERALD
did nothing more than follow the statements of
the abolition organs of Mr. Opdyke himself
II seems they lied 1t is one Of their unfortunate
habits, by which they have this time injured
their own candidate, and betrayed his compli
city with their schemes more than it was pru-
dent should have been revealed. Now in try
ing to explain away their falsehoods, they
plunge themselves deeper in the mire and only
prove that what they are trying to cover up is
but too trne.

deed that can be performed to-day, and vote
accordingly. Vote early.

SATANIC CuucKLINa OF THE TRIBuNE.-The
Tribune of yesterday intimatcs that the Nash
vile is fitting out at southampton, and may,
very possibly, waylay and capture the Arag6,
making captives of General Scott, Archbishop
Hughes and Thurlow Weed. This appears
nightly to tickle the philosophers of the 7ri-
brne and they cbuckle heartily at the idea OF
way, and safely stored between four stone
walls, in some remote corner Of Dixie's land.
They don't care about Scott much, but Weeds
prospective Incarceration fills them with the
kind of satisfaction their friend Satan expert
enced, when he had successfully emancpated
fron celestial allegiance the inhabitants of the
Garden Of Eden. They grin little, too, at the
chance Of evil happening to the venerable
Archbishop, whom they hate on account of his
supposed utilization with Secretary Of State
Seward. Now our opinion is that government
ought to lose no time in despatching steamers
in search of the Nashville, and not rest until
that vessel Is safely locked in some Northern
harbor, and incapable Of such acts of piracy as
the Tribune pants after. Let no room be left
for after regrets that proper precautions were
not taken to prevent the Imprisonment Of
the late Commander-in-Chef of the American
armies now seeking Europe for the benefit of
his health, of the reyered Archbishop of the
commercial metropolis of the Union, and Of Mr..
Weed, whose presence in Europe is so much
needed to enlighten the understandings Of
British statesmen respecting American affairs.

will take common sense view of the subject,
and acknowledge that the capture Of the rebel
ambassadors was perfectly legal. Yet the 7'i-
Jaue accuses the HERALD of desiring a war with
Fngiand, forgetting, apparently, the old adage
tl,at people who live in glass houses should not
throw stones.

GLORIOUS JOE HoxE.-What good Knicker-
booker does not remember old Hoxie, thirty
years ago, when he was in full communion with
Tammany Hall? Well do we recollect his red,
rosy face, shining like the sun in summer sky,
as he used to amuse the democratic worthless of
the day, in cheerful. enthusiastic parlance. We
asked some one, in those days, who he was.
Don't you know ~ replied our friend, "why
that is glorious Joe Hoxie Y Since then he has
been sort Of practical Franklin, with most of
his wisdom and more than his wit. Glorious
Joe got mad. however, with Old Hickory, and
entered upon sort of pilgrimage through
political slough of despond, from which but few
would have safely emerged. In $780, he came
out, with as much ferocity as is compatible with
his genial nature, against Martin Van Buren,,
and was the troubadour Of that Presidential
campaign. With song, speech and money, he
contributed 10 the success of the hero Of Tip
pecanoe, and to the Punishment Of poor Matty
to Undertook. Thereafter, he acted in concert
with the wings, until the Satanic spirit Of aboli-
ton took possession of the wing and democra-
tic parties, and poisoned them both. Glorious

sad at heart to witness the rapid downfall and
destruction of time honored landmarks which
the anti-slavery element brought about SO at
last, better late than never, at distance of over
three times ten years from his first appearance
before the people, he has introduced his plea
SAINT face once more to the people, and, shaking
back the silver hairs from his good old head,
calls upon his fellow citizens to vote for a con-
sentative candidate for Mayor, and to rescue
this metropolis from the faint of niger wor-
shipping treason. He has come out for Gun
ther. This is first step. If the election, how
ever, were to take place week later, we have
little doubt that he would have raised his voice
in favor Of union Of upright, conservative
voters on one candidate who could certainly
be elected, and whose triumph over the mis-
chievous heresy of abolition would signalize to
the world that New York remains, as it ever has
been, sound, national, and devoted to the con
stitution, prepared to maintain, at any cost, the
integrity Of the Union and Of the laws. Sober
second thought would have induced glorious
old Joe Hoxie to cast his suffrage for Mr.. Wood,
and not to throw it away on candidate who
has such small chances Of being elected as Mr..

The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1856-1888, 1861-02-07

During the first six months of 1860, the re-
ceipts nearly cqualled those of the corresponding
six months of 1859 while for the six months
qficr the passage of the tariff, a falling off is
shown Of $ll $50, rs compared with the CORES
ponding period of 1859. The organ tells us this
is all accidental, and of no account. Very well,
So long as the w~herewithaI is obtained to keep
IT squeakinS from week to week, perhaps it's all
right.
Its ideas on whaling are about as correct as on
commercial statistics. Without fatty denying
the position taken by this paper, it attempts to
distort the facts given. The number of whalers
owned or mailing from Honolulu, in 1858, as
published in this paper of Feb. %, 1859, was
10 vessels, of G071 tons. In the following year
the number was given as IS, not including two
tenders employed, making 20 in all. We re-
publish the list with some accompanying re-
marks then made
Notwithstanding that several guano enterprises
have arisen during the past year, which tend TO d-
vert the capital of our merchants, it is gratifying to
learn that our whaling interests have not suffered
any material decline thereby. Our fleet in 1853
numbered nineteen vessels with a tonnage of COL
tons. We have prepared a table 10 show the present
condition Of our island whaling fleet, which numbers
eighteen vessels, with an aggregate of 4,l51 tons,
showing = decrease of only one vessel. This fall
ing off in tonnage is more than compensated in
the improved character of the vessels now in en-
pioy. Most ofthem are new, and fitted up with great
care, ard without regard 10 expense. They are all
more ably manned than We have ever before known,
and will unqdestionably give a good account of them
selves.
Taking the amount Of oil and bone caught the past
as shown in the table appended, it gives an
average TO each vessel employed during that period
of nearly 900 bdrTCiS. Some of the vessels were how
ever employed in trading for bone. ivory, &c, and
the entire cargoes do not appear in the table.

We have then eight whaling vessels, Of . tonnage
