IA correspondent on Hawaii sends us e somewhat
lengthy letter, about the statements of a CORES
pendent of the Gasetie, published in that paper of
May 20, under the heading of "Around the Island
Of Hawaii, ; in which the inhabitants of Laupahoe-
hoe, the store-keeper, church., and "his fellow
countryman,' all come in for a share. Owing to its
length, we must omit a portion of the letter, and
conine it only to the facts j
LAUPAHoEHoE, Hawaii, June, 1868.
Now, Mr.. Editor, 1 want to give you a plain state
ment of the facts of the case. This gentlemen ar
rived here about noon, in rather a maudlin state, his
face and beak looking very red. After abusing the
poor native from Waimea-who came with him to set
tie for horse hire, &C., which ended in his throwing
the money at the man, all of which appeared 10 me to
be from the effects of very bad rum-he was shown
his room, water for washing, clean towels, brush and
comb, Sc, and everything needed to make him COM
Portable after his journey. In the meantime dinner
was made ready, with the following bill of fare
Stewed chickens, corned beef and cabbage, pickles,
olives, tomatoes, salad with egg dressing, Irish po-
tatoes, sweet potatoes, taro, bread and tea, all of
which his =" fellow countryman +" took the greatest
of pains to attend to personally, doing the cooking
himself and paying for the fowls and fxings out of
his own pocket, like q g civilized creature, and
from a clean table, with wholesome food good
enough for a King to all of which he did ample
Justice. and had nothing to say for himself. True,
We had no ardent spirits to offer him but our run
ming spring from the mountain makes the most de-
lgntlul temperance cOcktalS-WltnOut any cOl0rlnn
and the luscious young cocoanuts, from the beau
tiful grove in the rear of our house, were brought to
him TO quench his inexhaustible thirst. / noticed he
seemed to crave for something stronger, and was con-
tinually alluding 10 OsOishdO, asking if it could not
be procured from somewhere. The '~palatable food -
he makes mention of, which he offered a gold piece
to natives to 90 after, was O6Oichuo, and those ma
tives were members of the church he speaks of as be-
ing kept open every day." sc. Not n native
would listen to his base propositions The 90 fellow
country1nan " whom he speaks of, disowns him as a
countryman.
Now, Mr.. Editor, II is hard, after having done our
best TO entertain one of the newspaper reporters when
they come along this way, to be treated in such an
ungentlemanly manner. This correspondent is a
disgrace TO the profession and the paper he writes
for. Do they pay him for such miserable lying
trash, as these letters Around the Island of Hs-
waii p"
Now, Mr.. Editor, I will be under great obligations
to you to give the above a place in your paper, in
order TO show that what this writer has written con-
corning Laupahoehoe is a base fabrication, from be-
ginning to end. NJ KIRcHHOFF,

Editor Of the Pacific Commercial Adrertfser:
SIR Allow me through the columns of your pa
per, always so keen in the discovery of abuses, to
insert a few remarks which, If am allowed to Judge,
will not be out of place.
was witness the other day to an act as brutal as
it was illegal, and of a class already too common in
this city that of maltreating men during the process
of their arrest | saw a poor fellow (I say poor be-
cause helpless) dragged along the street by a mob in
the most merciless manner besides a band Of police
men, sufficient in number to have arrested three such
men, and with much less detriment to his person, too,
there were employed a number of kanakas, elders, }
who seemed variously occupied in inficting torture
and indignity on the person of the man. Some were
fastened to his clothes, others to his hands and feet;
but, not satisfied at having him in so completely help
less n p~redicament, no less than three were Juggling
ruthlessly at his hair. In this manner he was con-
veyed to the very door of the Station House. How
ever henious a crime the man might have committed,
ii could have afforded no Justification for such bru-
tally.
That well-known class of vagabond natives. who
are becoming so numerous in our streets, are ever on
the alert TO aid in the capture of fugitives from JUS
tice, most probably in the hopes of being renumer-
ated, as they often have been by some of the shipping
runners of the town. 1t were well if their voluntary
aid rested here, but no sooner is a white man in their
power than they begin with instructive righteousness
to maui him in the most terrible manner their fear of
the law will admit. Several are the instances of this
species of maltreatment that / have witnessed, which
would be n disgrace to any government possessing
claims to lberality and justice. With sincere hopes
that measures will be taken to prevent such unjusti-
fable brutality in the future, L will conclude by ask
ing the Attorney General if these actions are the
initiatory steps to the exercise of a future Lynch-law,
or whether the publication of them is to be accepted
as a call TO REFORM HUNANITARIAN.

The Hilo Roads Again.

Mr.. EDIToR I also have occasion sometimes to
visit the town of Hilo, and my melancholy experience
of the journey is, that your correspondent Traveller
is not only justified in all that he has said of the per-
lis and horrors of the road, but that he has a very
mild way Of putting it. don't hesitate to say that
the Hilo road is a disgrace to the Government, and to
everybody concerned in the mismanagement of it
and it is n disgrace, too, to the fooishly long-suffer-
ing taxpayers of the district for bearing the evil as
they do with a patience that looks almost cowardly.
Nothing is done or attempted to be done in the way of
repairs, further than that the Hanali gap, which
yawned for prey about eight months, is at last bridged
over. 1t is really dangerous to life and limb of man
and beast to attempt q days journey through this
compound of precipices, bitches and mud sloughs.
Two miles an hour is fast time, and three or four
such hours find you dead beat I am told that there
is a person living i'll Hlo who has courage enough to
claim this pretty piece of work as his own bantling,
he having had the most TO do in the making of it.
Would that he and his boss were condemned to trav-
erse it from one end to the other for the remainder of
their official terms.
If the Hilo people uerc n people, if the men ,rere
men, ii they had half the spirit of the women, and if
they would throw aside their silly social differences
and unite in claiming what is their due-wiia year
after year they pay heaps and heaps of money for
they might rectify many evils to their own great ben
eft and credit, and the utter confusion of the auda-
cious ignorance imposed upon them, ds lies des
soufromce. III.

Advices from Mazatlan state that there is a seri-
Gus difficulty between Commander Bridges, of the
English steamer Chandelier and the Mexican au-
thoTities. The Chandelier. on arriving of Altata.
got in a dangerous position, and fred signal guns
for assistance. The pilot was sent off and got the
vessel out of trouble. The captain then refused to
pay the pilot fer his services, and went to Mazat-
Ian. There Sepuiveda. the Collector of the port,
was notified that one of the officers of the Ctdati-
cEeer was caaying specie aboard that vessel to
avoid export duty, and, catching him on shore,
had him searched, and found gold on his person as
charged
This enraged Captain Bridges, who came on
shore in great excitement. and declared the vessel
and himself insulted by ae searching of his suhor-
dinafe- Words followed, and in the end Sepnlteda
had the captain also searched, under the impress
sion that he also was implicated in smuggling.
The captain then went on board and notified the
inhabitants by proclamation that be was about TO
lombard the town for the Insult to the English flag.
Numerous notes passed between Bridges, General
Corona and the civil authorities
The American Consul. Isaac Sisson, acted as me-
diator. and ultimately Bridges modified his procia-
nation so as merely to place MaZatlan. under
not interfering with American or foreign vessels,
until he can receive orders from the Admiral CON-
handing his station.
Bridges first demanded that the officer who
searched the officer of the Chantieleer and seized
bis money should be sent Oh board his vessel. 10 be
dealt with as he saw St. 10 which Corona replied,
sooner than submit to snch an outrage be would
allow the city TO he boBbarded. telling him in Dig
fed language that if he had reclaInations 70 make
he should make them in the customary style of civ
ilized nations and through the proper channels.
The United States war steamer SalcdRee left Ac-
apulco June 22d. for Mazatlan. to protect American
interests.

In every community there is a certain per-
centage Of useless young men, whose ultimate
condition must excite the sympathy and con-
sideration ofevery philanthropist. What will
become of them? We do not put the aues-
ton as to their future state, but how will they
round off their earthly existence They
have no visible means of support still they
hang on, they vegetate, they keep above
ground, la certain literal sense, they may
be said to live, move, and have n being, They \
lounge in ofhces, promenade the rtrec,s, N, So
cial ainusements, play the gallant to good
natured ladies', and attend to the necessities
of lap-dogs Their more quiet and demon
stratiye life may be described as AN ntermit-
tent torpor in which meats, cigars, drinks,
and sleep mark the changes. Their existence
would be a mystery but for their relations to
other substantial people known as "pa,"
ma" or "better half who are able to
make provisions for the waste and protection
Of their bodies in the way of clothing and
food. Still, ought these young men to be left
to the chances of parental or domestic aifec-
tons All are not equally fortunate.
What shall we do with those whose depen-
dence is precatious2 They do not admit of
) any utilitariau disposition. In cannibal
for veal the bodies would also make excel
lent fertilizers for sterile land but the preju-
1 diees of Il Christian people would revolt at
this solution of the problem. A certain num-
i Der could be employed as lay figures in shop
windows to exhibit clothes,on, but the taiors
might not have confidence in them. Most Of
q them could color meerschaums, but this bust.
q ness would produce little revenue. What
then, shall be done? The tax now falls upon
a few, and it ought to be distributed We
propose, therefore, State Asylum for useless
young men. An institution of this kind
J.. could be easily filed with those between the
ages Of eighteen and thirty, who should be
grouped and associated together, so that the
rude jostling and friction of the working
world would not disturb their delicate nerves
Here they could cultivate their mustaches
r part their hair behind, and practice attitudes
a In this resort, with little forced exercise ia
/ keep their circulations in healthy state, with
| dolls to play with as compensation for the
absence of ladies' society, these useless young
4 men could be supported with ease and comfort,
and all industrious people would be willing to
/ pay the expense of this institution, rather than
II bear the painful solictude in regard to the
4 welfare of these superAuous members of so.
y eiety When provision has been made by the
I State for idiots, for insane, poor, aged, and
| crippled, is il not astonishing that asylums
e have never been erected for still more help
n less class Let this philanthropic enterprise
a be started nj once.

The Impeachment Trial.

The testimony upon both sides being sub
stantially completed, the impeachment court
very properly adjourned over from Monday
to Wednesday, before proceeding to the final
pleadings in the case. 1t would seem that
less than week would suffice to close the
trial, and reach final Judgment, As the
momentous hour approaches, we do not won
der that the triers seem profoundly impressed
with the responsibilities of the case; and it is
no marvel that, as is announced by telegraph,
when the Chief Justice proclaimed that the
managers would proceed and open the argu-
ment, "there was a silence about the chamber
as still as midnight-eyery breath was hushed,
the books and pens were laid aside, and there
was not a movement through that vast audi
ence."
OF the FINAL result, it seems, ON review of
the evidence in the case there can be but lit
tie doubt. by excluding the testimony of
members of the Presidents Cabinet, as TO the
advice given him by them, it seems TO be de-
termined to hold him to strict personal ae-
countability for his action, instead of sharing
it with his constitutional advisers. This de-
stroys the main pillar Of the defence; aud
this is unquestionably the opinion of the
Presidents counsel. Denying the President
the benefit of this protection, we see nothing
to change the aspect Of the case since the
Senate virtually took the initiatory step toward
impeachment, by its overwhelming vote, in
reply to the Presidents message on the re-
moyal of Mr.. Stanton, that his action therein
was illegal and unconstitutional Sc that
however humiliating the spectacle, and how
ever deeply we may dcplore the supposed me-
cessity-we confidently expect to see the
President of the United States speedily i'm
peaehed by the proper tribunal for The COM
mission of "high crimes and misdemeanors,r

Mr.. Butler held that the paper was part
