on motion Of Nj. a. }. Cartwright. seconded by Mr., Il. a.
Carter, it was
nesolred, That Mr.. Al. Cartwright, Treasurer Of the r. II.
!. Society, he authorized to pay over to DR. Wm. HfIebrand
The sum Of 5000, appropriated by the above resolution, and
that the sum Of $50 from annual subscriptions be paid 10 the
the funds invested.
His EN. X. {. Wyuie moved the following resolution:
Resoiuea, That under the third Ordinance issued by the
Bureau Of Immigration, and signed by the King on the 18th Of

laborers that they are willing u take on the condition, offered
in said Ordinances, should send in such statement Immediately
missioned a His Commissioner Of immigration.
Sir. WylHe, in support Of his motion, said that the Bureau Of
Immigration was, in his opinion, entitled to an active co-oler era
ZION from the planters ana others interested IN aEriCuEGTe; that
such was the view he lad adopted from the beginning, and
that, as soon as the ordinances and the notice to planters had
been issued. he had at once acted upon the same, made applca-
tou for 200 coolies, and lent to the Commissioner AL the assist
ance in his power. N
Mr.. J. Wood said he was not surprised at the prompt action
OF the Minister OF Foreign Affairs, in ordering 200 laborers- Mr..
WyIie was known to be a prompt and energetic man Of bust
ness, besides. he had the advantage, which others had not, or
frequent access to the Bureau, Of conversing with its members
and keeping himself posted from day to day about their action.
His N & dp No-yrvl aura3 Mr. Wood To YEN his inter
ruptng him, but that he OR. Wood was laboring under a mis-
take. Mr.. Wylie had been away from Honolulu during the
sfttings Of the Board, and had come back the very day Of the
publication Of the ordinances. Mr., WyIie, through his absence,
knew less at the time than anybody else about what had been
done.
Hs EN. Il. c. WyIie corroborated the assertion of his CO..
league, and stated that he had acted after reading tie ordi-
of which he approved, although he had had 10 share in
Council.
MIR. }. Wood resumed, and said that he would move that the
departure Of the Commissioner be postponed. so as to allow
planters To have full explanation given TO them as TO the inten-
ton Of the Bureau, and the instruction given to the Commissioner.
DR.. Hmebrand said, that as Commissioned Of Immigra-
ton lie would explain his intention, and proceeded as follows:

2 Mr.. Il. =. Garter said that tie Board OF Immigration ofcourze
not expect TO please an parties on general principles; lie
vas opposed 90 Governmental influence in what properly be-
ongei 90 private enterprise, which he believed woad in time
AVE met the labor requirements; still, the admirable choice
he Board had made in Their Agent OF Commissioner gave this
Enterprise a guarantee Of success. lie could not join in any
auia'i9n Of tile ordinances. especially that Of MOL. He re-
rc;tet that G government had taken occasion to prohibit private
enterprise from moving in this matter-thought the planter
houid have the right TO import such labor as he thought hest,
provided. OF course, he did not import paUpers or dangerous
'eoUle. With reference 10 information in regard to the designs
( the Government, he would say that in asking such informa-
ion, II had always been given him with the utmost courtesy,
ma he had thus been enabled to communicate the same 10 the
correspondents Of his house interested in it.
HIS Ex. C. De yarsny said that the first ordinance alluded to
ad been misunderstood ny some, and ny others Voluntarily
nisconstrued. Articles had been published with the view Of
nprezsinE the planters with the idea that the Bureau Of Immi-
ration could no, and would not do anything, and intended
merely To blind the public with a feeble attcmptatthe discharge
{ their duties. The lsoors OF the Bureau had been arduous
nd ~uuremittug. and within two months cf the organization Of
be Bureau all questions, even Of detail, had been settled; a
Commissioner duly accredited, well selected aud provided with
efficient funds, was on the eve Of his departure, and arrange
