Coolies and the Clergy.

Mr.. EDITOR: A portion of the clergy seem
TO insist that the labor-system on these
Islands is heinous oppression and wrong,
and that, in their capacity of instructors, they
must not cease TO "lift up their voice like a
trumpet" to cry down and stop the iniquity
by means of their press.
1t little matters that some of their own
class have differed in their views of the case,
and have personally availed themselves of
the services Of coolies; or that many other
sound-thinking and fair-minded men, who
would not do violence TO their consciences
by abetting any unjust or oppressive system,
have done the same; these leaders, in their
zeal TO lay Judgment to the line, and right
eousness to the plummet," represent that
coolie labor is but slavery in the eye of
Heaven-a sin and a curse-and if laborers
and servants are required, they must be pro-
cured in some other way. Laying this down
as their platform, they leave capital, the
business and planting interests, to find their
own way out of the obscurity which hangs
AOuuO AAS AabOi iueel4Oli, anu WHICH lutse
reformers are helping to befog.
Ii seems TO illustrate narrow views OF
human nature, and of liberty, and the strange
ideas held respecting the planters and the
Government in the minds of these guides,
when they say, ait has seemed strange to
Us why so many Hawaiians should be willing
to delve in the guano deposits on the barren
islands on and near the Equator, or risk ex-
posure to the rigors of an Arctic eruise-art
not the planters and Government responsible
in a measure for this state of affairs 81
While the whites and other races may
crafty their curiosity, seek novelty and
change, or pursue enterprise by travelling, OF
sojourning, or settling in every island OF
country under the sun, and may sail in every
sea, "the planters and Government" are re-
garded as blameable for the Hawaiians fol-
lowing the bent of their inclinations in doing
likewise. Are We to infer that power should
be interposed TO keep the Islanders at home
ants? 1t may be believed by some that by
so doing the coolie system might be arrested
The probe" and "panacea' for the cure
of "the evils which exist" of which they
speak, may perhaps be discovered when
there shall have been wide crash-up of the
planting interests, and of business and capital
on these Islands In such an event. they
viii still insist that they had no hand in
bringing it about S.

EARTHQUAKE On Thursday last, there
was a smart shock of earthquake at Hawai-
hae, Hawaii, that started everybody out Of

atmosphere was loaded with smoke, and fire.

the smoky atmosphere that prevailed there.

SPECIMEN BIocKs.-An elegant collection
Of specimen blocks Of the woods of these
Islands has been put up at c. E Williams
shop, for DR.. Newcomb, intended for the
new Cornell University. The blocks are of
uniform size-some six inches square on the
face by four inches deep. The faces are fin
ished in French polish, showing to the ut
most advantage the color and grain Of the
various woods. Thirteen varieties are rep
resented: the kou, ko, kamani, kauwila, ko-
lea, iliahi sandal wood, ohia, opiko, ahakea,
hau, kukui, lauhala and niu (cocosnut). The
two latter, under polish, are very similar in
appearance; the first five are elose-grained,
dark woods, showing splendid material for
ornamental work. The Islands abound with
other woods, equally available for such work.

EAKTHoUAKEs.-Rev.C c. G. Williamson, of
Christ Church, South Kona, has favored US
with his observations CT the earthquakes that
have, for the last three months, been felt on
Hawaii. The shocks have been frequent,

are gradually subsiding. Mr.. Williamson's
record of the earthquake period of last April,
published in the GAZETTE, was most valu-
able contribution 10 science, as We believe

STEAMER DAT.-The steamer Idaho sailed
on Monday, with 81 passengers and full
freight, for San Francisco. She has dis
charged and loaded at the new wharf, west of
the Custom-H House, designated for the future
use Of this line. The wharf was filed with
the carriages Of those who had come 10
speed their departing friends, and crowd
of people thronged both the steamer and the
wharf. The scene was the elimination of
the excitement and hurry Of steamer day,
which will hereafter occur every third Satur-
day. By the Timetable, published to-day,
it viii be seen that the Montana leaves San
Francisco to-day, for this port, and that the
departures from there are fixed for every
third Wednesday. A commodious shed is to
be built Immediately, on the wharf, to pro-
tect the lading and unlading of cargo from
the weather, and for storage of the same.
The Hawaiian gazette. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu, Hawaii]) 1865-1918, 1868-10-07

ASSoYANcE.-The arrival of the mails, es
pecially when at considerable intervals, as
has happened of late, causes large amount
of mail matter to come to hand for assort-
ment and distribution. Large crowds gather
on the post-ofice verandah, and those who do
not have lock boxes naturally are impatient
to get hold of their letters and papers. The
noise and impotence outside of the office
are sufficient spurs to dispatch by those
within, but when they are hindered in
their operations BY mischievous persons call
ing out wrong numbers to boxes, to confuse
the recording clerk, in his charges, and insult
ing remarks are made, TO irritate and annoy
them, not only the post-office work is him
dered, but the whole public is put to incon-
venience and delay thereby. This petty mis-
chief has been indulged in under cover of
the night distribution of the mails, but we
are quite sure it would be summarily checked
by the crowd, if it is known that such con-
duct, in some, has already been repeated sew
eral times. The fun is too mean for the
million TO enjoy.
