UNIVERSAL SUFFRAGE.-The New York
Nation. discussing the record and prospects
of the Republican party, represented espe-
cially by the lower House of the Fortietb
Congress, utters some things about the
universal suffrage mania that are worth read
ing and thinking of 1t says:
"Another circumstance which has had
an unfortunate influence on the House Of
Representatives is the inordinate importance
which the condition Of public affairs has
caused the party to attach to universal suf-
frage. The establishment of universal suf
frage became, after the war, not simply, a
leading feature in the reconstruction process,
but u cardinal political doctrine with the
more advanced members of the party.
With this we have, of course, no fault to
find; but the agitation about universal suf-
frage has had the not universal effect Of
throwing halo around it, and leading great
numbers of people TO think OF 1t and talk
of it as If it were new means Of salvation
for all the nations of the earth, and as If 10
advocate II was a sure means OF Fastening
the reign of righteousness-as If 1t were
perfect antidote against corruption, lawless-
ness, Ignorance, vice, and all the moral and
political ills which affiict humanity. The
result has been that candidates for Office
have, of late, only bad to be sound on
this question to make all else in their
character and attainment Of little conse-
quence. II Is not very long since we read
an article in religious paper, treating the
habitual drunkenness of Senator Yates, OF
Illinois, as trifling matter, in consideration
Of the senator having recently delivered
speech against color discrimination in the
distribution of the franchise. The qualifica-
ton being an easy one, Of course the coun-
try swarms with thoroughly worthless,
loud voiced advocates o" the rights Of man."
and of course plenty of them lind their way

Laws of the Kingdom which may be in force
at the termination of the Legislative Assem-

ability to make the compilation of Penal Laws
above directed to be made, do hereby commits
sion you Jointly 10 compile ready for publica-

PUAKo FLooD.-A heavy freshet happened
the last of September, at Puako, near Ka-
waihae, Hawaii, which destroyed the fish
and salt ponds, besides doing other damage
at the shore. Large quantities of drift-wood
and debris were brought down by the torrent
from the slopes of Hualalai. Such an I'M
usual occurrence in place where rains and
running streams are not known, and dry,
rugged lava fields usurp the land, indicates
that either q water-spout broke on the
mountain, or some other extraordinary flu
vial phenomena happened iuka.

Refinery Sugar.

Mr.. EDITOR; There are several mistakes
in the remarks made by the advertiser upon
Mr.. Castles article on Sugar.
First: Grape sugar is valueless for refining
purposes. Every planter knows that sugar
will show better analysis after being ex-
posed to the atmosphere; also, that grape
sugar gathers far more moisture from the at
mosphere than cane sugar; thus causing
large loss by leakage ON the voyage. Al
though grape sugar is made by the process
of refining, and finds its way into the golden
syrup, yet l believe that all the original
grape is damage and loss to the refiner
Second: Does the United States revenue
suffer loss by darkening the high grade su-
the average of all the Island sugar is under
No. Il, or cents per pound duty to the
United States. In the mixing of all grades
together, about 2115 per cent. of moisture can
be dried out, which, compared with the dis
puted lot, would stand thus: 2,010 pounds
adulterated, cents duty, $1,000; and $50
pounds mixed sugars, cents duty, $3.50:
the revenue therefore gets $3.50 per ton more
duty in the former case.
Third: The Advertiser says 1.-THE total
profit on each ton Of doctOred sugar is
SIS. 25" The following statement will show
a mistake of sSl As, or that there is only so
between the values of No. Is and No. IL.
An English authority, it says, gives the av-
erage product of a ton of refinery sugar,
when refined, as follows:
Pure sugar, 40 Ms, or 7o5 per cent, a &c. sl12sO
Moasses. 500 do $50 do &C. 1900

Coal Ou4-Dealers and those interested
in coal oil assert that there is no danger,
but accident upon accident gives the lie to IL.
Much Of the coal oil in use has been properly
refined and inspected, while no inconsistent
BILE portion never passed under the test of
the inspector. The assertion Is made that
when the oil in a lamp is consumed, or while
it is being consumed, the vacuum is filed up
by gas which is explosive; and the lower
the oil becomes the more danger there is
from explosion, should the gas by any means
become ignited by the flame. Another
theory is set forth by those who have given
the subject some attention, and that is, that it
is always dangerous to blow out lamp
through the top of the chimney, as it blows
the flame down into the gas generated by
the oil and canses explosions.
Kerosene lamps should never be blown
out, under any circumstances 1t is the Inn
pure oil that is responsible, for most, If not
all the accidents which occur and therefore
consumers ought to buy only the best, and
from responsible dealers.
The Hawaiian gazette., 1868-10-14

The Statistics of the Collector Genera
of Customs show that the gross value O
our exports for the nine months of 1868
have exceeded that of the same period o.
1867 by slls,797 rs. We have, in Other
words. sold our products at better prices
or have so increased their quantity that the
value realized is greater, by the above
statement, than we received last year, and
the nation and individuals are by so much
richer.
This is due mostly to our leading ex
port sugar, which has been gradually at
tanning better footing both as to the
quantity produced for export and the
prices obtained in the market. The gain
in quantity thus far over last year, is, as
shown in the tables, 642O6l pounds, and
the prospect for 1869 is. that our export
will be still further increased by one OF
two million pounds, which, if prices keep
up, will add largely to our resources and
wealth.
1t must be admitted that our sugar plan
tations are intimately connected with our
material prosperity as nation, and that
their successful prosecution is matter Of
general interest. The greater part of our
business and commerce is directly or indi-
rectly connected with these plantations,
and the disposal Of their products, and
when they are running at profit all classes
feel the benefit.
1t is gratifying fact that the year, thus
far, has been paying one for the planters.
Basing their business upon the laws of
trade,--supply aud demand, laws which
may be said to be independent of legisla-
tion-they have proved to themselves that
they are able to enter the field of compe-
tition, and secure fair remuneration for
their produce; that they have some con-
troll over the market by reason Of their
proximity to it, and the necessity Of those
there engaged in like business, SO that the
way to an assured and moderate success is
fairly within their own reach.
1t is also gratifying, that while much
may DO done to enhance and stimulate our
sugar enterprises by treaty relations, to
know that we are not entirely dependent
upon them for ultimate success.
The effect of this increased value of our
exports is observable in the various depart
ments Of business, and we may believe
that times are easier, although, there is not
as yet, any new projects ahoat for the en-
ployment Of spare capital. The latter is
abundant for all the ordinary wants Of bus
iness, having been thrown upon the market
by the plantations paying part Of their in
debtedness, and consequently withdrawing
as borrowers. The lower rates Of interest,
brought about by the improved condition
of business, as well as the law enacted by
the last Legislative Assembly, places pro-
;ects of announcements and new enterprises
