THE DAILY APPEAL.
THE MEETING LAST EVENING.

The Union meeting at the Theater last
evening was organized by the election OF
Hon. J. F. Lewis as Chairman, and George
Thfy, Hon. S. H. Wright and Gen. Mar
,ette as Vice Presidents. Mr.. Mighels was
chosen Secretary. Mr.. Fitch's speech was a
careful, truthful statement of the late history
of political parties in the country, contrast
ing the attitude of the so-called Democracy
with the position occupied by the Repubii-
can party upon the most vital questions
affecting the welfare of the country and the
status, at home and abroad, of our citizens,
illustrating the emptiness Of the present
existing Democratic name, and relating the
incidents and enactments which proved the
much abused Radicals" to the rightful use
of all the significance of that title. Some of
the illustrations employed by the eloquent
speaker in connection with this department
of his address were alive with a strength of
statement and beauty and vigor of rhetoric
all his own. The untruthfulness Of the
Copperhead averments concerning the Chi
nese question were shown up; and the strong
reasons underlying the position of the Re-
publican party's policy Of Reconstruction
we're very clearly put. The speaker briefly
defined his position relative to the suffrage |
question in the loyal States; planting him
self squarely upon the Chicago Platform.
The ridiculous complaint of the Copperhead |
orators and writers that Radical Con-
gress had forced negro domination" upon
the South was reviewed with keen and scath-
ing force. Following this, Mr.. Fitch expa-
,iated at considerable length upon the posi-
tons held by certain Democratic leaders
Mr.. Clayton among others-upon the finance
the charges brought by the Seymour and
Blair party against the Republican party
with relation to the taxes which-by reason
of a Democratic war-have been forced upon
the people. Some highly interesting views
OF his own conception with regard to the
financial question were stated, in this con-
nection by Mr.. F. This interesting and
exhaustive speech was brought to a bril-
liant and eloquent conclusion amidst the ,
repeated and long continued plaudits of Z
the large and enthusiastic audience of ladies |
and gentlemen, who, notwithstanding the :
unfavorable weather, had gathered together. |
The meeting adjourned with three rousing .
cheers for Grant and Collar, and for Tom : :
Fitch.

How THE EARTH APPEARS TO AN FRO
NoUT.-Clayton made a successful ascension
in balloon from Columbus. OF the appear
ance of the earth when he was at a grea,
hight he says:
From the questions am frequently asked,
an idea seems to exist with many that aro-
nouts lose sight of the earth when at
great nights. This is mistake F.;
they never do, except when clouds intervene
or night appears. On the contrary, the
earth is always like an immense concave
map, painted different colors, which desig-
nate not the different townships or coun-
ties, as the coloring of maps generally do,
but the various products of the soil. That
the earth, which in real lily is convex, should
appear to the pronout to be concave. may at
first seem strange to many. but moments
reflection will render it clear. His horizon
is frequently upwards of hundred miles
from him. Draw a right angle triangle, and
make the base fifty or sixty times as long
as the perpendicular, the hypothenuse and
base will then be nearly in the same line.
The horizon appears to the Tronout to be
or perfect level with the car of the bal
loon but the part o the earth directly un-
derneath him seems at great distance from
him /; consequently the whole surface of his
scene must appear concave.

GENERAL BUTLER made a speech to the
Republican Convention at Salem, Mass, on
the 18th, accepting the nomination. He re-
farred to those who opposed his nomination,
chasing them with Lee, Forrest, Beauregard
and Booth, and charging them with raising
forty thousand dollars to defeat his nominal
tiou which he considered as equivalent to
his election. He recommended these mall
content to send their money into some doubt
full State. He considered those who opposed
him as deserters from the Republican party.
He said the party should be managed as an
army. and welcome recruits as it would de-
serters. He denied the rumor that Grant
opposed his election, and spoke at some
length on the finance question.

FEARFUL DESCENT OF FREIGHT TRAIN.
On the Louisville and Nashville railroad,
Sept. II, freight train, on arriving at a
very steep ascent, divided into three sections.
The first and second sections went putting
and grumbling up the summit, arriving
safely and awaiting the coming of the third
section. This section quickly followed and
went winding along upon the great curve
but as the locomotive neared the top of the
h i'll the COUPLING holding the last car and
the caboose suddenly broke and the two
went rafting back down the steep, leaving
the balance Of the train entirely, and making
no stop until it had reached the bottom,
where a solitary brakeman, who had been
detached along with them, succeeded in
checking their progress. Getting oft the
caboose and CHANGING up the hill, he was
astonished at seeing and. hearing what he at
first took to be the whole of the balance of
the section descending with fearful velocity
directly upon his own two cars. The rate |
they were coming at could not have been
less than sixty miles an hour, and it is
supposed the amazed official got himself out
of the way as soon possible. The fact
was that eight more cars had broken loose |
from the section and were being precipitated
down the hill, and in a momen. they came
tearing into the defenseless two that had
gone before. Piling one upon the other, the
smashing and crashing was really sublime
to beholder at safe distance, and could
be seen well even in the night. In less time
than it requires to write it, six cars were
total wreck, and bales, and boxes, and bar
rels and casks of freight were scattered and
broken along the track, the train having
been heavily loaded with goods for the South
ern trade. The redeeming feature of the ac-
,ident is that nobody was aboard of the
eight cars making the last descent, and
therefore nobody was hurt.

partments, that more than one gentleman,
claiming to be an America citizen, was su-
perseded during the war, lone Of the
Clerks, and he certainly never has said,
and never would say, that he was super
seded on account of any opinions held,
entertained, or expressed, regarding Amer
lean politics, or any other politics whatso-
ever. He left on account of disagree
ment occurring in the Office, and was
Immediately thereafter employed by the
late Minister of Foreign Affairs in a
responsible private situation. No such
insinuation was ever made during the war,
and it is now left for this Adviser Of Sem
ators to bring it forward by general asser-
ton, for the purpose of influencing votes
against the interests Of those men whose
support and countenance have, for ten
years, given him all the influence which he
could ever have had to injure them.
We have said that no act of the Gov
eminent can be pointed out, during the
war, in the smallest degree adverse to the
United States. This we emphatically re-
assert, and might go much further. 1t is
true that on the 4th Of July, 1867, at
which time the author Of our " Memoranda
Of Observations and Opinions" says that
american sentiment had reached point
of enthusiasm and high expectation" a
4th of July orator took occasion to COM
ment on the Proclamation issued by the
Government, at the commencement of the
war. The tone and character of that
Grafton was sufficiently in accord with the
tone and character of the Memoranda"
to make marked coincidence, though we
would not wish to be understood to init
mate, even, that a coincidence of this ma
ture is sufficient to induce the conclusion
that both performances are emanations of
the same mind. The Proclamation was re-
published Immediately after the delivery
of the said Grafton, and if it should be
deemed desirable, will be re-published
again. 1t is probably, however, in the
minds Of most of our readers, and it will
be sufficient to say that the Proclamation
was approved before its publication, by
the Representatives of the United States
Government, here, and was regarded, and
has continued to be regarded, as friendly
act, by the Government at Washington,
and received their commentator. The
orator, on that occasion, did not quote
anything from the Proclamation, but fol-
lowed the usual habit alluded to above-of
general denunciation-a demonstrated,
perfectly, either that he nsver had read
the document, and was speaking with utter
recklessness as to whether he was right or
wrong, or that, having read it, he purposely
misrepresents it-for reasons which it is
not permitted to US even to guess at.

The following Circular has been issued from
the Department of Foreign Affairs:

lSAhNbLAAAl
All Consuls and Commercial Agents of His
Hawaiian Majesty are enjoined to give strict
attention to the following instructions
1. As repeated attempts have been made to
place under the Hawaiian Flag vessels not
owned by Hawaiian citizens or subjects, no
provisional register will be issued to any YES
gel whatever, except upon the application of
subjects Of His Majesty, and in no case will
such provisional registers be issued until it
shall be satisfactorily shown that such vessels
are, in fact, wholly owned by subject or sub
jects of this Kingdom, and are about to pro-
coed by direct route to some port of this
Kingdom.
II. All provisional registers will be granted
for limited time only, the duration of which
shall be clearly stated on the face of the same,
and shall not exceed what may reasonably be
required to enable the vessel holding the same
to reach some port of this Kingdom.
III. COnsuls are forbidden to grant pro-
visionsl register second time to any vessel,
and the fact that the vessel, so Professionally
registered, shall not have visited any port with
in the time limited in the provisional register,
will be always held to be conclusive evidence
of fraudulent intent, unless the delay shall
have been occasioned by disaster at sea, or
other uncomfortable cause.
". Consuls are specially instructed not to
recognize the provisional registers granted by
other Consuls after the expiration Of the time
limited in such registers, nor will such regis
tiers be recognized at any port not in the direct
route from the port where the same may have
been granted to some port in the Hawaiian
Kingdom, unless such port shall have been
visited in consequence of disaster or to escape
from serious and unavoidable perils and in
no case will any such provisional registers be
recognised, when it shall appear from the YES
sells papers, or otherwise, that since the grant
ing of such provisional registers, the vessels
holding the same, shall have been within the
waters of the Hawaiian Kingdom.

THERE is no portion of the world which
has been the subject of more misrepresen-
tations than these Islands. They have
been done to death, as the saying is, by
tourists and letter writer's. In former
years the missionary came in for more
than his fair share of misrepresentation.
Ehilst some represented their work here
as being almost superhuman, Others could
see nothing but a complete failure in all
their efforts, and blamed them not only for
the short comings of the race, but of in
dividuals. These last pointed to some
real or fancied instance of individual fail
ings or back-sliding, and exclaimed. with
the triumphant air of one who had discov-
ed the sunamuna 5onun, "See what is the
effect of the missionary work, and asked,
with most mysterious shrugs of the shout
ders, why something else had not been
done than that which was done. The
population seemed failing in numbers this
was satisfactorily proved to the minds of
those critics to be in consequence of the
missionary's preaching, the building of
churches, or some other equally self-evi-
dent cause. Each of these selfsatisfed
and self-constituted censors was ready
with his nostrum, and as no one could pos
sibly demonstrate that the remedy would
not cure the disease, the pride of these
philosophers L" took up ready praise" for
their acuteness. and
AT least themselves their present selves applaud
Some of the prescriptions to remedy the
failing population are sufficiently amusing
to look back upon, but none are more in
teresting than the idea presented by an
Influential gentleman" in a letter intend
ed for the use of the Home Secretary at
Washington, and other influential men,
bers of the Government" that annexation |
to the United States would at once bring
new life to this perishing people" Our
political philosopher sees, in Imagination,
as an immediate consequence of an act,
which seems to have taken possession of
his mind to the degree of absolute insan-
ity, every adult woman bearing twins an
nually, all the children well taken care of,
and death coming to none Of our popula-
ton, until extreme old age may have rem
dered one entirely useless.
1t is not with the follies of this letter
writer that we have to do, at present, but
with his pernicious Misrepresentation.
And before proceeding in our task, we
pause to say that, as we understand the
amenities of newspaper writing, or public
discussion Of any kind, it is not ruleable
for any one to go outside of the article crit
icised, to form guesses as to the person who
may have written it. Therefore, in COM
menting on "the letter" zoe do not know
who wrote it, nor do we seek to know it
is now given to the public, and, it is to be
with the consent of the author.
But whether this presumption be well
founded or not, the letter is now the pro-
perty Of the public, and it is our duty to
on it. We have not intimated a
