We copy the above from the Gazette, which
states that the decoration of the Order of Kane
haneha /. will be sent to the Admiral by the
first opportunity. The wisdom of the stringent
American law, in forbidding its officers in any de-
p%artment OF the public service, from accepting any
decoration, title, gift, OF salary from any for
eign power, is q wise one; rs the acceptance must
tend more or less to weaken the loyalty of the re-
cipient, in case of dispute, trouble, OF war be-
tween his Government and that power. Nor is
there any reason why there should be an excep-
ton TO the rule in the case of Admiral Thatcher.
The same principle is embodied in the Hawaii
an Constitution, which declares, ~(article 74) that
no officer of this Government shall hold any of
fee or receive any salary from any other Govern
ment or Power whatever" No act of the Legis-
iaturc can permit an officer of this Government to
accept any Office OF salary from any other.
\ similar provision exists in the English sys-
TEN. No officer of Her Majesty's Government
can wear any decoration or title bestowed by any
foreign Power. The present Minister to WASH
Ington, Edward Thornton, affords an instance.
he has been created a knight by one of the Eu-
ropcan sovereigns, (of Portugal, we belieye,) but
he is forbidden by law to use the title while on
British soil or in British service. In Portugal he
nay be called Sir Edward Thornton, but in Eng
and. he is simple Mr.. Edward Thornton, and
nothing more.

Some Of our frienIs have inquired why objection
has been male To permitting the petty officers AMI
men Of the LaeksEaIs 10 visit the shore at Hlo-
The objection has been made simply ON account Of the
gross misconduct % portion Of the crew At Puuloa,
-ome time ago, and which IS too notorious TO require
further aIlssion. Evidence in regard To IL was care
fully taken, aud placed in the hanls Of Gen Smith,
who intended 20 furnish II 10 Admiral Thatcher. The
police force nj HIo - quite inadequate To restrain any
excuses by the men On shore, and consequently the
Lieutenant Governor was directed TO Object granting
permission 10 the ereE ~ land on liberty.
by referring to the extract from the regulations OF
the L. :. Navy, IL Will lie seen that the case = not iE-
volved in any diplomatic difficulty.
We give the letter cent from the Interior Depart
ment 20 the Lieutenant Governor Of Hawaii, which

INSANE PArIExTs-The Gazette informs us that a
negro known as the "Crazy Barber has been sent
TO the Asylum for threatening to burn Mr.. Curry's
house. Mr.. William p. Ragsdale, for several years
engaged as interpreter and translator for the Govern
ment, has also been remanded TO the same institu-
ton for similar threats. His mental alteration has
been brought on by political excitement during the late
election, coupled with free indulgence in rum and
ava, which are proving the ruin of many Hawaians.
This young mans case will excite the sympathy Of
all who have known him, and have seen the ability
he has shown in the particular service of interpreting.
and We trust that under the restraints Of the Asylum,
he may recover. But it should prove a warning to
others, and particularly to those IN authority, that
Hawsiians can not bear tattery and strong drink
without suffering from them TLey have not the
mental or physical constitution that enables their
hardy white-skinned countrymen TO indulge with inn
punity in daily stimulsnts. However necessary
TO health beers and intoxicating drinks may by
some be considered in colder climates, they are not a
necessity, in our warm, eneryating climate, to either
foreigner or native, and in ninety-nine cases out of
a hundred, foreign residents of the islands Will be
healthier and better off without intoxicating drinks
than with them.
