Tie abOve il the very lame apology which the
Ministers have felt constrained To publish in vim
dication Of an act that justly excited the indig-
nation of every person who heard of the discourte-
Gus proeeedings. Minister Hutchinson takes the
responsibility To order that the PJrt OF HilO slall
be closed ~ an American WAR VESSEL, and - that
the petty officers and men of the ship shall not
be permitted To visit the shore ON liberty" assign
ing rs n reason that the conduct Of some boats
crews Of the vessel had been most improper. And
we are furthermore told by the Government editor
that . d. the Objce.iDn has been made simply on ac-
count Of the grOss misconduct of the crew ut Pun

IL l. somewhat singular that in n city where
news items are so scarce, 50 eagerly and 80 per-
sistently sought for a. in Honolulu, neither of the
papers should have contained the slightest allu-
sion to OF intimation OF what either would have
considered legitimate news for publication lad it
occurred. 80 far therefore rs regards the alleged
e misconduct " being a. notorious, " we deny the
statement Of the Government PAPER as absolutely
false and We do not believe that n dozen persons
in Honolulu ever heard of the affair. or At least
knew it, detaiI-, until since tic allusion to it in
the Government organ.
Since the i--ue Of the GG-Cre, after diligcnt in
qairy we can find bat two persons who know any
thing Of the details, and from one of them we
learn that some az weeks ago several officers OF
the LaeksrraaHa with n boats crew, visited Pun

THE STATE PENITENTIARY.


How curious is the progress Of a thought Lit
tie more than year ago, his Excellency Govenol
Orr, in q message to an extra session OF the Gene
eral Assembly, wrote as follows:
''There is no proper punishment, under the law;
of this State, for high misdemeanors and petty
felonies. None of the jails Of the State are con
structed for work-houses, and convicts sentenced
to Imprisonment spend their time inidleness. The
expenses to the State is very great, and, in oul
impoverished condition, the people cannot vel
bear the heavy taxation necessary to support thess
conyicts in idleness. There are many convicts who
find themselves comfortably housed and well fed
and who, exempt from all labor, do not regard i'm
prisonment as punishment They are vicious
depraved non producers; and the effort to punish
them is really punishment to the honest tax
payer, whose labor, in part at least is given tc
support them in Incidence. The number of con-
victs will hereafter be greatly increased and, if the
present system of punishments be continued, the
appropriations to jalors for dieting prisoners vii
be greater than the expenditures for either Of the
departments of the State government. Toremedy
all these evils, respectively recommend that you
Columbia, and appropriate not less than $4,000
to erect wall around the penitentiary buildings,
and to make cells for convicts. Much of the labor
in erecting the necessary buildings, can be per
formed by the convicts themselves. Ifa favora
BILE site should be selected, convenient to sufficient
water power to drive all the machinery that may
be requisite to carry on manufactures in wood
leather, ron yarns and cloth, the penitentiary may
be made nearly if not quite seEsupporting. Pun
ishments may then be imposed according to the
enormity of the offence; juries will have no aver
sion to convicting the guilty, and convicts, while
under purgation for their crimes, will be compelled
to earn their clothing and subsistence"
THE BEGINNING.
On the 2lst Of September, 1866, seventeen day.
after the receipt of the above message, the Legis
lature appropriated $4,000 for the purpose above
named.
| On the 18th of October, Messrs. VIM. Gregg
w. r. Robertson and Archibald Cameron, Com
missioners appointed by the Governor to supervise
the work, met in Columbia and selected ten acres
of land, at cost of $4,000, Immediately on thu
Columbia canal, and within half a mile of the de
pots of the South Carolina and Columbia ant
Greenvile Railroads. This is probably the bes
location in the State. Easy of access, being only

heart of the city, with immense beds Of the bes

The next morning dawned in cloudless splendor
and at an early hour the cathedral was thrown
open and the sexton began to prepare for the wed

|side-fame- -colored leaves came rushing downfron
the trees, and lay in light heaps upon the ground
and the ripe wheat waved like golden sea, and
berries dropped in red purple clusters over the
rocks along the Rhine.

royal party appeared, escortng the Princess Eliza

brighter than the untwined foliage and blossoms
were the turfs of plumes which foated from state
ly heads, and the festal robes that streamed down
over the housing Of the superb steeds. But the
princess, mounted on snow-white palfrey, and
clad in snow-white velvet, looked pale and sad
and when, on nearing the church, she heard O
gush of organ-music which, though jubilant in
sound, struck on her ear like funeral kneI she
trembled and would have fallen to the earth had

wards she entered the cathedral. There, with his
retinue, stood the royal bridegroom, whom she
had never before seen. But her glance roved
from him to theorgan loft, where she had expected
to see the mysterious organist. He was gone, and
she was obliged to return the graceful bow to the
king, to whom she had been betrothed from mo-
tives of policy. Mechanically she knetat his side
on the altar stone mechanically listened to the
service and made the responses Then her hus-
band drew her to him in convulsive embrace, and
whispered: ..
Elizabeth, my queen, my wife, look up!"
Trembling in every limb, she obeyed. Why did
those dark eyes thrill her so? Why did that smile
bring glow on her cheek2 All though the king
wore the royal purple, and many a jeweled order
ghttered on his breast, he seemed the humble per-
son who had been employed to teach organ music,
and had taught her lore Of love.
Elizabeth, " murmured the monarch, ''Bertram
Hoffman, the mysterious organist, and King Oscar
are one. Forgive my stratagem. Iwished tomar-
ry you, but would not drag you to the altar an
unwilling bride. Your father was in the secret :"
While tears Of joy rained from her blue eyes, the
new-made queen returned her husband fond kiss,
and for once two hearts were made happy by roy
al marriage.

that he had always been gambler and always
would be one; that he had also been prize fight
err that he had been in the lowest brothels in the
country; that he had been the companion Of thieves
and cyprians-but that he was never in quite so
bad company as when he went into Wallstreet,
among the bankers and brokers. He said there
was less honesty and more trckery and thieying in
Wall-street than among his former associates, and
he did not want them to misunderstood him. He
wanted to be taken at his worst, and had, there
fore. chosen the designation of banker.

SONG OF THE ANGEL CHILD.
BY J. FORREST aowAN.

7 was wand ring in the forest
In the forest all alone
Plucking flowers in my pathway,
Just the sweetest ever grown;
When there came from out the wildwood
Strains of beauty-dulcet strains,
,Which--though many years have vanished
My memory still retains.
'Twas as if an angel wandered
From its starry home on high,
Where hefowersdo not wither,
And the beautiful ne'er die:
And, forgetting man were near it
sS With Its bosom full of bliss
= Sang asong, composed in heaven,
In so dark world as this.
AS listened to the music
Music sweet as ever fell
'Pon the ear of human being,
Fit demons rage to oquell-
Just the sweetest little creature,
That Jehovah ever made,
Stepped out from 'mong the thicket,
And ran by me half afraid.
From that moment to the present
To the present, full Of care a..
I have loved the world more dearly
Since such beings wander here:
I have read Of angel-anthems,
Till with joy my heart grew wild,
But twas diseord to the sweet voice
Of that little angel child.

How ELEPHANTS WERE SHIPPED 10 ABYssr-
NA-Part of the outfit of the English expedition
to Abyssinia was herd Of twenty elephants
wieldy animals at best, but uncommonly trouble
some as passengers on shipboard. A Bombay pa
per describes the shipment: st'.-.g
''The hosting tackle required was Of immense
strength, and the hoist was formed in this way:
The main yard was supported from the lower mast
head by stay tackles from the top masthead there
was strengthening tackle, and from the lower
masthead to the yard there werepreventers From
the fore masthead there was tackle for hauling
the hoist forward The elephants were brought
from the place ghere they were picketed, one by
one and, on reaching the Compta's side, were
ettered and placed in sings, consisting Of thestout
est canvas, secured by thick lashings. The height
to which the animals had to be hoisted before they
were lowered away into the hold was some twenty
or thirty feet, and small regiment Of kalasses
was employed in working the lifting tackle. The
operation was really an extraordinary sight, well
worth witnessing and it was curious to observe
the different moods in which the unwieldy beasts
submitted to it. Some, when they found them
selves suspended in mid-air, shed tears copiousy,
and were affected in remarkable manner; others
became vicious, androared and plunged about most
alarmingg. ".'-
''In the days of Queen Elizabeth some other re-,
markable ideas were entertained in England as to
the anatomy of theelephant, and Shakespeare says:
'The elephant hath joints, but none for couring ).
his legs are for necessity, not for fexwe." Now
nobody in these days, we suppose, holds such an
opinion but if he does, he would have had q con-
yincing proof of his error had he witnessed the
surprising agility of some of the elephants hoisted
into the hold of the Con.pta; for they bent their
legs about, and paved andkicked with tremendous
violence, and one or two managed to throw their
legs behind them so as to geta footing on the comb
ing of the hatchway. Fortunately no difficulty was
experienced in diaodging their feet and they were
safely got down below. By about O'Clock, pm,
nineteen had been embarked, but the twentieth one
was 50 vicious and 'musty that it was determined
not to take him for he would not submit to be
slung, and he seemed very much inclined to do as
he pleased 1t was said that inan unamiable mood,
on Friday he killed one of his unfortunate atten-
dants." ss

THE coNv1cTs.
The first convict received was on April lS, 1866.
On the 18th August, less than four months after,
there were upwards of one hundred. Atthe pres
ent time there are one hundred and ninety, fully
four-ffths of whom are negroes, whose terms OF
imprisonment vary from twelve months to confne-
ment for life The chief crime for which these
prisoners are punished is that Of larceny. The
next most common crime is that OF assault and bat
terry. The third, arson, burglary and murder.
The rules adopted for the regulation Of the mot
ley crew of conycts are similar to those which ex-
list in other institutions of the kind at the North.
The prisoners are required to maintain silence but
when engaged in labor they are permitted to ask
such necessary questions as relate thereto. The
punishments resulting from the infracton Of these
rules are the same as those permitted in the army
and navy of the United States and yet are only ap
