SUPREME CoURT.-The October term of the Court
opened on Monday last. Chief Justice ALLEN pre-
siding. The week has been entirely occupied with
native cases of little or no general importance. The
trial of foreign cases will commence on Monday
next. In that of the King rs. Pahukoa, the ma
tive who is accused Of the murder of Mr.. Mcintyre
at Hanalei, Kauai. a few weeks since, and who was
indicted at the present term of the Supreme Court,
the counsel for the prisoner entered = special plea,
claiming that the jurisdiction of the Supreme Court
did not extend 10 the case of a crime committed
on another island, and within the jurisdiction of 4
Circnit Court. The Acknowledgement argued that
the jurisdiction of the Supreme Court was concur
rent with the Circuit Courts, and that if. for any
good reason, the prosecution should move any such
trials TO the Supreme Court, there was nothing in
the law to prevent. But the Court, after consider
alton of the argument pro and con-, on Thursday,
decided that criminal cases must be tried by the
Courts of the Circuit in which they occur. We
presume that Pahukoa's trial will be had in May.
at Kauai. Although it seems a long time to defer
the course of Justice. and a great hardship if an
innocent person should be imprisoned, say eleven
months TO await the annual term of his Circuit
Court, yet such is the law as it now stands, as in
by our highest judicial authority. The
decision is an important one, on a question which
has not before been raised.

THE L.. :. MAINE An important
change has taken place in the management of this
institution, at the instance of Vice Consul Thos. f
Wilson, who anne out vested with authority by tie
American Government to make such changes as
might. in his opinion. be considered necessary.
The American Hospital System, as conducted at
these Islands, has. from time immemorial. been a
public abuse, and all the circumstances of friends
OF the seamen and of the Government have hitherto
proved Of no Use in correcting the abuses. Some
five years ago DIR. Bailey was sent ont as a special
commissioner to investigate and rectify any malad-
minisiration, but beyond abolishing the hospitals at
Hi!o and Lahaina. nothing appears to have been
done by him towards reforming the system. In
deed. there were pretty broad hints at the time,
that he had been bought over" by those inter-
ested in keeping up the old system of charges The
change now made consists in letting out the hospi-
tai TO the person who will keep it at the lowest cost
to the home government. Tenders were called for
and received by Mr.. Wilson. the result of which is
that the bid of Mr.. y. d. Cartwright. to maintain
tire sick and disabled seamen at is cents per diem
for each man. was accepted. Other bids were
made. VARYING from SO TO IS cents. The old rate
was SO cents, or nearly double what the same SER
vice will now be performed for. This change ought
TO have been made years ago, and had DR.. Baxley
executed his duties faithfully. it would then have
been done. 1t is said that a still further economy
might be had, were the patients lodged in the
Queens Hospital. But We question the propriety
of such a change. at least with the present limited
accommodations of that institution. That build
ing was erected for the benefit of native Hawaiians,
and should be preserved for their use. Its perver-
sion to the use of foreigners, would tend to ex-
clude more or less those for whose benefit it was
designed. Every one will rejoice that there has at
last been n change in the management Of the Marine
Hospital which, it is hoped, will prove Il benefit to
the L. S. Government as also to the sick sailor.

The virtuous Dana.

The virtuous Dana, editor of the Chi
cago Republican, whom the President
recently disgraeed, having somewhat re-
covered, thus revenges himself:
As in every course of crime, however
successful for a period the effort at con-
cealment, there comes a day when all
disguises are stripped of, and the reality
is exposed in all its revolving deformity,
so this infatuated man has now at last
fully revealed himself as the most shame
less of hypocrites and the lowest of de.
ceivers. The doom of Benedict Arnold
and of John Tyler were there to warn
him, but he has obstnately refused to
learn wisdom from their experience
Proclaiming his own shame with his own
signature, he sinks henceforth into the
abyss of universal contempt Trusted by
no one, despised most by those who profit
by his treachery, he will remain, we
trust, forever in human history the most
eminent example of the noblest oppor-
tunties wickedly squandered, and Of the
confidence of great people infamously
