CoNTEAPTIBLE.-A roll Of paper was picked up
early Monday morning near the Government House,
comprising some thirteen sheets of foolscap pasted
together, and filed with gross slang and abuse Of
residents on this and other islands. particularly on
Kauai, written in a hand closely disguised. What
motive any person could have in perpetrating such
an act, it is difficult to imagine. The police have
the matter OF ferreting out the perpetrator. and
have their suspicious as TO its origin. Whoever the
author may be. he deserves a course of instruction
in the State prison.

The sum of the whole matter is here-the

nation over S23. 600. And at the same time
to place themselves and the Government in
an extremely odious position to the public at
home and abroad.
The Government can at any time lease its Office
to a practical printer, and have Its printing done
AT a small cost, with a newspaper in the bargain.
This would place its Office on a fair footing, if
the contract was honorably made The mistake

honest a man may be, public officers should be
held to strict accountability. Every dollar re-

Government officer is only a guardian IN trust of

be inquired into and punished, for the guilt Is

cheapest, we contend that it has no right to
enter into competition in a private industry

the mere sake of earning money and harming in
dividual enterprise. If there is anything cen
surable in a ministerial body. it is the ayowed
purpose of using public moneys to injure indi-
viduals. And vet the Government is clearly
doing it in this case, and Ministers stand out
before the country and the world as willing TO
sacrifice their own and the National reputation
in this matter. They injure the good name of
the Government more than Us in continuing
what every one esteems an obnoxious measure.

A DRUNKEN RULER.

We were among those who did not believe that
President johnson was drunk when he made his I'D
of February speech. The idea was repugnant to
Us that President of our great nation would thus
demean himself that not only tried TO think it was
false, but hoped it would be proved so BY his
tons thenceforward We published the testimony of
Rev. DIR. Bellows, Of New York. in June last, who
visited Washington City and remained there some
tine and no said then that he believed nothing of
the runors "touching the Presidents insobriety.'
But all will not doactions speak louder than words;
and judging him by both actions and words, from the
time he started his electoneering tour from Wash
ington City to Chicago and back, his rawlings and
nterances indicate everything else but sobriey, ard
would disgrace pot-house politician of the lowest
order. No wonder that "when the wicked beareth
rule the people mourn, and wonder that the scrip
rural given rhy a Ruler should abstain from
wine and strong drink: Lest he drink and forget the
law, and pcrvert the Judgment" should find 70 ice in
the thoughts of the People of the United States,
der the present infection.

There are $4,000 colored persons in
Washington Most of them fed thithcr
from slavery, during the war, and they
dare not return to such liberty as awaits
them at their old homes. There is not
work enough in Washington for all of
them. and they are willing and anxious
to go where they can earn their daily
bread. We exhort every one in want of

Democratic Doctrine.

In the Indiana House of Representa-
tives February 1st, 1861, a Democrat,
(Horace Heffren, in speech, made use
of the following language:
If you call US traitors because we sym
pathize with our Southern 6rethren-be-
cause we have stood up manfully and
nobly for the right-if it is because we
want to guarantee them the same rights
we enjoy ourselves-put your epithets
upon US as much as you please. You
will find strong arms and brave hearts
beating in the breasts of over hundred
thousand Indianians, that will say, as
you march under Abolition banners to-
wards our brothers on the other side of
yonder river: Thus far shalt thou 90.
and no farther
The same spirit animates the Demo
cratic heart to day Having failed to
render that assistance to their Southern
brethren which they desired while in
arms, they now seek to accomplish i,

it to be accomplished Echo answers,

ACCORDING to the Gazette, Of Trieste,
the prisoners arrived in that city relate
the following: While the iron clad fri

to seize the Italian flag which was flying
there. But an Italian officer laid hold Of
it, althoug. sinking. and, after firing a
revolver at the Austrians. went down,

Reliable Testimony.

An officer in the army of the Depart
ment of Texas, whose name we withhold
for obvious reasons, writes us private
letter, under date of August 3, from
which we take the liberty of M aking the
following extract:
l suppose you hear great deal about
the Union sentiment in Texas. We do,
from the Texas papers, but fail to per-
ceive it in the acts and conversation of
the citizens.
They are eager for reconstruction for
the sake of the power it will give them
at Washington. They hate the United
States Government as bitterly as they
did in 1862. 1t is still disgrace to vote
for Union candidate FOR any office, and
where there are no United States troops
present, it is still dangerous to do So
The officers of the army are still ruled
out of society, except in the case of
marriageable young ladies who are most
of them willing to site to- pair Of
shoulder straps, of whatever grade they
may be, for it would give them a chance
to spend little of Uncle Samuel's hated
currency.
Some ladies said, few evenings since.
| that they did not want introductions to
Yankee officers" and yet they call us
traitors to the Union, and say thew are
| better patriots than we are.
They cry Justify for their rights, and
yet d the Government, I am sure
they yet carry in their hearts the hope to
be able to renew the struggle at some
future day; and they know the shortest
way to reach their object is to have their
Representatives admitted to Congress
| l expect l shall be ordered to Fort
Davis, about FIVE hundred miles west of
this place, in the fall. Look on the map.
and you will see where l shall have to
go, hunting Indians. The red devils are
very bad now, and we shall have to
''clean them OUT or the settlements
will be driven in.
The above extract reveals the real mo
tive that governs the Rebels of the whole
South, their Democratic friends of the
whole North, as well as the President
and his toadies. We call them toadie:
because none others could sustain such
Wholesale and barefaced usurrations al
