CIRCUIT CouRT, MAUL-The Annual Term of the
Circuit for the Second Judicial District, commences
by statute on the second Tuesday of this month,
which comes ON the 11th. We learn that His Honor
Judge Davis, will probably proceed to Maui to pre-
side at the Term. The docket, so far, is not a very
lengthy one, there being, on the criminal side, one
case CT housebreaking, and one of riotous conduct.
The principal civil case is that of Bal & Adams
against the owners of the Wailuku Plantation-in-
volving a question of water rights.

The Registry Bill.

In the State Senate OF the 28th the Reg
istry bill was discussed and passed to third
reading During the discussion 1t was full
ly shown by the democrats that the bill
vas not only unnecessary but onerous and
unjust to a large number ofour people
the working people especially. The RadI-
Gals reported it and supported it. The
Democrats opposed it. 1t creates new
and distinct class Of Offences which are not
msdcmeanors under our present laws, and
it DISTINGUISHES voters who have NOT been
registered on a particular day, notwith.
standing that they may have paid State
aud county taxes, aud are otherwise fully
qualified to vote.
The bill AS reported provides that the
ass. ssor or register shall meet with the
election board of the district on the twelfth
day preceding the election, for tue purpose
of making final registry OF the voters Of
! the district. A motion was made 10 sub
atitu,e the fifth day, SO as to give six more
days for registering, but the Radicals voted
it down. A motion to substitute the tenth
was, however, carried.
Err MCandess, Democrat, moved that
the meeting Of the board be kept open
from m, to 9 p. m.--So as to alto" the
workiny nen az, opportunity to get register
ed aoithout losing time from work, BUT THE
! MOTION WAS VOTED DOWN BY THE RADl-
GALS. The vote was yeas l3--l2 Demo-
Gratis and Radical nays l5-ali Radicals.
The hours now stand: from q. IN. latter
laboring people have gone to work. I'LL q
p. m. (betore they have returned from work.
Mr.. M CandIess also moved that the
polls should be kept open from a IN. I'll
p. m.--instead of irom a. III. Til . P. III.
! but this, too. was voted down by the
Radicals, 20 Of whom voted against it.
In these facts the people may plainly
see the intent and meaning of the leaders
of the Radical party. Knowing as they do
that the Democratic party is the party OF
the people-made up OF the working, IN
dustrious masses--those leaders are malig
nantly determined to place every obstacle
iu the way of the people as voters aud
feemen. Their Legislation is all Tor the
benefit of the white gentlemen OF leisure,
who need no employment, and for the "coi-
ored gentlemen OF iudolence, who don 7
want any employment-whist "de oooro"
remains ~ fall blast.
This bill yesterday (2sth) passed the
Senate by strict party vote. The work
ing classes will make u note OF the tsct.--
