Ma. EDITOR Il have a grievance Il Is not
caused by ministerial oppression. nor the hin'iness
Of tax collectors. for I am an alien, and therefore l
keep q representative TO watch over my political
privileges. lam a quiet-goiug man. and therefore
pay all the taxes demanded Of me with q good grace,
except the school tax. which | pay without any
grace at all. Nc. sir! my grievance lies deeper.
If an enemy had struck me, I might have been, Ike
Nj. Pecksuig. wounded, but not hurt whereas
am now hurt but not wounded, for my grievance
arises from what should be the centre Of humanlty's
de.ightS-the very bond AMI handspring Of human
ity's joys
Literary pursuits, or more properly literary iu-
giUves, are st the foundation Of my grievance, |
reai-you read-we all read Il am not couiugating
s verb. but merely i~niulginE in h~yperbo,e. may
more. We all borrow bookS-but DO we, Mr.. Editor,
do We all return them Alas for our humanity,
alas for our pToperty-No y few years ago l came
here with : heart inexperienced, humane, aud
flowing with milk and honey, in short a model Of a
nice young man, and having q Coodly collection Of
books and now my inexperIence has shed its first
syllable, and my humanity has Appropriated the
outcast for its own prefix; my milk has become crude,
and my honey and books have cOntemporaDeOusly
disappeared. Now by the laws Of nations umbrellas
are allowed to be fair prey, and not contrahand Of
honesty, and by virtue OF this universal admission
| am possessed Of two very old silk umbrellas, be-
longing no doubt 10 friends, and missed one very
new one. appropriated no doubt by friends. This
Is not pleasant, but then It i fair, whilst the incl
dent about the books, Is neither pleasant nor fair.
Repeatedly | have gone to my attenuated library
in search Of a book, when | might as well have
whis.lei for a policeman NJ a petty larceny action.
Nov where is my redress The wandering tones have
been so long displaced that l cannot trace their
whereabOutS-aud from the almost inaccessible
heights of Buffers Analogy, 10 the more patent and
sympathetic beauties Of Frank Fairlegh, it seems
impossible to win back the p~rodigals to their shelves.
So bethought me Of your agency-and will you
not please instIl into all your friends the resolution
TO examine their mental paStureS for the discovery
Of other peoples brands. My particular patronymic
hourishes in all my volumes, or l could easily COM
prehend the logic that would prevent inquiry into
their unmarked ownership-for where ignorance
is bliss, 'twere folly TO be wise"
My grievance Is stated and | await the result
will my books and other peoples books return to
their own dear homes or must we still sing in
our loneliness, the dreary melody of - we miss thee

ANTIQUITIES DIsCovERrp-During the late cruise
Of the Phoenix Island Guauo Company's packet
schooner Ldolibo, Capt. Goddard. the Compauy's
Agent landed on MAlien's Island, 10 explore the
same, and gives an interesting account Of the re
mains Of houses, wells and graves. which were found
on the eastern side Of the island. The houses had
been built 70 cover ground in the shape Of d cross,
the foundations only remaining. These were built
Of large slabs of coral, and the floor inside covered
with small pebbles. The paths between the houses
and the main road 10 the beach were paved with
coral slabs, and the wells were laid up with the same
material, everything being finished in the very neat
est and mos, substantial manner. At the present
time the wells are filled with salt water. The graves
were near the houses and were quite numerous. On
examination, there were found in some Of the graves
trinkets, mostly necklaces. of the style usually worn
by Catholics. Capt. G. brought away a skull and
some other ittle articles. Here i a question for
the curious, as TO who the former Inhabitants Of Nal
the wells once contained fresh water, what has caused
the change The general suppositon l. that this
was a stopping place of some Of the Spanish bucca-
neer-, which three centuries ago cruised between
South America aud the Manilas. But whether this
was one of their depots or settlements, a. Ascension
Island probably was, or whether the ruins are all
that remain Of a caStaway crew, will probably never
he known. Future investigations may furnish some
clue as 10 who the settlers we're. Malden's Island Is
a low coral island, without trees or verdure Of any
kind but coarse grass, and apparently uuinhabitable
by human beings.

BURGLARY-The -four store of Mr.. S. Sayidge, on
Fort Street was entered on Saturday night, and sew
enteen dollars in coin stolen from the till. The burg
lar entered through the rear window, which had been
left unfastened. Tracks ofbare feet were found on
the flour bags piled by the window, and there is
every reason to believe that the entry was made by
the native employed there, who had ~purposely left
the iron shutters unflstened. He was arrested, but
there being no evidence sufficient to detain him, he
was discharged. -
THEATRICAL-It seems not unlikely, if We may
credit a newspaper report, that the well-known actor
Maretzek may make US "a visit during the coming

who l. now on an operate tour in Mexico, will proceed this fall
with his artistes 60 California. and perhaps may extend his tour

SHANEFUL.-A wlite man, living At Waiole, on
this island. made a complaint in behalf Of the Crown
against his wife for Adultery, before the District
Judge at Kaneohe. After hearing the evidence, the
wife was discharged. The husband was ordered by
the Judge to pay one dollar costs, which he refused
to pay, as being contrary to law. The Judge then
ordered the man in charge, and he was arrested by
the country police. and brought into town to the
Station House, a distance of fifteen miles or more.
When the Sheriff read the letter from the Judge. and
found that there was no order TO detain the man, he
very properly released him, to appear at the Court
House and confer with Judge Robertson on the mat
ter. Here is another instance which goes TO prove
the correctness of our assertion a week or two since,
that many of the native justices are utterly worthless
and unfit for the places they occupy, and only harass
and annoy those who seek legal protection. Whoever
this Judge is, let him be dismissed, if the facts are
proved, and let his salary be saved to the treasury.

WHAT'S IN a NAME:-We find the following in
one of our exchanges. The " native has evidently
lost his original name, and taken a foreign one; SO
that no clue can be had Is TO who he may be. unless
our . consul" in New York should take the trouble
to inquire into his case
\ native Of the sandwich Islands, John Myers by
name, recently one of the crew Of the ship Monarch
Of the Seas. was brought to this port New York; on
Sunday, from Havana, and committed to prison. He
was arrested in Havana ut the instance Of the Ameri-
can Consul, the crime with which he is charged being
murder on board Of that vessel.

- The steamer resumed her trips on Mon
day, leaving ut 7 p. NJ, that day for Hilo and inter-
mediate ports. During the previous week. she had
her boiler and furnace raised about six inches, the
latter having formerly rested on the floor of the yes
sci, aud being constantly in contact with the salt wa
ter, was liable to injury. The job of raising them
has been a difficult one, but has been well done
by Mr.. Hughes. These alterations are not only
vexatious but expensive, and we hope that when an
other boat is procured, she will be built to order and
made in every respect just rs experience has proved
to be what is required. Every week the RTiauea stops
to overhaul her machinery, her absence from Hawaii
is felt, and if she could run there each week regular
ly, she would no doubt pay even better than she now
does. But this cannot probably be till another boat
is laid on. -
n Our c~onfrere of the Government organ, has,
we perceive, been amusing himself for the past two
or three weeks in firing blank cartridges among
g Hawaiian PASTORS thinking that blanks, when
sent through Government artillery, are rs effective
as pure metal. He says he a. pities the flock" of the
pastor who can write such severe and caustic repri-
mands rs are given to the official organ. If"A Pas
tors deals with his flock rs faithfully as he deals with
the editor, and raps their faults rs numerically as
he does his, no doubt the latter has good cause to
g pity his flock"

reasons affecting himself and many friends IN the
Gulf States, must be suppressed, has Just arrived in
this city, where he Is receiving medical treatment for
a malady, the result of sixteen years continuous bus
mess in the South. During an Interesting interview
with him yesterday, we learned some very curious
facts in regard 10 the present condition Of affairs at
the South. On his way North by a somewhat circui-
tous route. which brought him to Louisville. Ken
lucky, he passed through the principal camps OF the
rebels. The men were not IN good condition, were badly
armed. and most of them with Indifferent muskets or
shot guns. They had received little or no pay, and
were under no discipline. When he LETT New Orleans
every family that could get away was leaving the
place, for two reasons, one that the people there ex-
poet an attack from the United States forces. and the
other that the yellow fever is also expected, and Of y
violent type, for the reason that the low country
around and above the mouths Of the Mississippi has
been flooded for months with more than the usual
quantity Of water, and a sickly season IS regarded as
certain.
There are but sixteen hundred troops at New
Orleans, and not far from the same number at Mobile.
Both these places could be captured by our troops
without difficulty. and if the present blockade Is to be
forced by the English or French, the true plan, in
the opinion Of cur Informant, Tor us Is 10 retake and
hold these ports. There Will be no blockade 10 force
or talk about, and 10 place Tor foreign ships 10 enter,
unless by our permission and ou the payment Of the
regular duties into the United States treasury.
Clothing for the southern armies Is b becoming very
scarce. Our informant says that in three months
time the soldiers will be in rags and shoeless. OF
towns the shoemaker j the most important person
age. and enormous prices are beginning to be asked
his work. \ bit Of sole leather Is worth its weight,
in silver.
Lieutenant Chapman, late Of the United States
Navy. Is endeayoring to get up a piratical fleet at
Orleans, consisting Of about seven small vessels,
seventeen guns in all. Whether he will be
able to get out TO sea is uncertain, a AIS only chance
l. 10 catch our squadron mapping.
With regard TO cotton we learn some curious facts
is no supply Of IL on hand worth mentioning.
The new crop is very backward; it was behindhand

mant LETT, and there will not be half a crop at the

now plenty of both, of good quality. but, unfortunate
