This is intended as an insult to Captain Reynolds,
of the Lackawanna and it is reasonable to suppose
that If the Admiral and other officers named were
knowing to the facts they would have too much
esprit De corps to permit such fusome praise and

In my last noted the death Of the Rev. Asa G..

A nice little dish has just been served up by
Madame Rumor, the which wish to lay before your
readers:-Wm. p Ragsdae, who was the tool OF the
ministry during the late election, and through whose
aid the American ticket was defeated, las been
roundly berated by his American friends for perid
iousy turning upon them, and has often insnuated
to his intimate friends that when his little game
was played to conclusion Americans would regret
that he had been so fercely maigned by them. Soon
alter the election the government officials seemed
Ragsdae was insane, and knowing his weakness
they piled MIN with means to crafty his appetite for
liquor until he certainly did act sngularly. To get
him into the Insane Asylum IL necessary that he
should be proved as a dangerous character. and
having In one OF his frequent sprees threatened to
IRE somebody's house, this was hit upon evidence
OF his being unit to enjoy liberty and into the asylum
he went. 1t is now patent 10 the world why the
ministry felt satisfied that he insane and should
be put away for a WHILE Ragsdale has furnished
proof that the ministry, through a lawyer, who shall
be nameless, and Ragsdae worked upon the cap.

from him copies OF Captain Reynolds dispatches TO
the United states state Department and did so secure
the coveted documents The captains clerk Is con-
fined on board, and Ragsdale IL still in the asylum.
Having resided on the islands over twenty years
my mind naturally reverts to the various ministers
who have advised the Kamehamehas, and | am
forced to say that the present lot take the pre-
MUM Tor antipathy to government which has
always been friendly. II Is difficult now 10 say what
indgnities the presence OF the Lackawanna has not
shielded Americans from and II is emnently proper
that the United states should secure respect from
this government even at the point OF the bayOnet
necessary.
Some time since intimatcd that the enmity OF the
ministry was so fierce that individual Americans
were selected upon which to vent their spleen, and
instanced that Americans were not permitted 10
choose the particular branch OF business In which
they might embark IL by hook or crook the Minister
OF the Interior could prevent Il. Two Americans ap-
