The Steam b.idy.

To The Editor IF the Pacific Commercial Advertiser:
SIR The question now is not-are We to have
steam communication with San Francisco. That has
already been guaranteed us by the American Gov
eminent, aside from our geographical position, which
will insure TO us one if not two lines touching here /;
but it is, how much shall We have to pay for it.
The Ministry have, with the assistance of a few
who have dull axes, forced through the Legislature a
bill giving $4,000 per annum, and with the other
privileges equal to 5000 more. And in return for
this we are to have our mail carried free, which has
cost us from $500 to 800 per annum heretofore,
and our freights carried at SO per ton Isl over the
the rates for the past four years), and in steamboat
style. the vessel not responsible for anything (see c.
Q. s NJ. s. S. Co.'S Bills of Lading), and the privi-
lege of paying steam rates of postage, which Is double
the American rates by sailing vessels. L can see
where some will be benefited and surmise where others
will be but alas for the poor tax payers and the
planters, and especially the Hawaiian race, and |
fear the day will soon come when Hawaiians will re-
gret the part they have taken to pass this measure.

We presume the architect will take care to have it

built ON Hawaii in these shaky times.

Mr.. EDITOR In passing the subsidy bill, the
ministers showed no consideration for the opinions
of the Lower House or the people whom they rep
resented. They treated their opinions with con-
tempt. and hesitated not to use any and all
means TO defeat the wishes of the representatives.
They availed themselves of every opportunity to stir
up dissension among the members of the Lower
House, and allowed their coadjutors to manipulate
the house as they pleased.
In view of these facts. allow me through your
columns to express the hope that when the repre-
sentatives come to vote on the salaries of the min
listers. the War Departman; appropriation. &c. they
will try and teach the ministry that such a course
cannot be pursued with %impuniIy. The British
Parliament have frequently refused to pass upon
supplies in order TO show a hostile ministry that
Parliament was not without power, and the nation
has thanked them for it. May we look for Il like exhi-
bition of 6rmness in our own representatives 1t is
their right and their duty 10 rebuke a ministry that
so persistently thwarts their wishes and holds their
opinions in such contempt. Ii is the only %constitu-
tional way to reach the ministers, and let Us hope
they will have the 6rmness TO apply it.

of 1866 .made" the amendment, and the pres
ent one simply approved it
Taken by itself, this would settle TIN. right of
the members u draw the increased salafy. The
fortieth rule, however, raises n doubt regarding
it. II says, "no member shall he permitted tn
vote on any question where his private right, dis
tinct from public interest, is Immediately en-
cerncd.''
There Is therefore some doubt about the right
of the members to the increased pay. The proper
way to settle it is TO refer the question TO the
Chief Justice.
\ resolution was introduced by Mr.. Kcawe-
hunahala to provide crackers, cheese, champagne
and light wines. Mr.. Kalakaua moved to amend
by substituting sOda water in place of cham

to amend 50 a. to include other liquors, all which
articles appear to have become indispensable
aids in Hawaiian Legislation.

intelligence o. access ions to the Republican

Clay. of Gardiner, who have hitherto been
shining lights among the Maine Democracy
have declaTed fox Grant and Colfax. They
have no idea OF being led into fresh war BY
Blair and the late rebel leaders. Gen. Sol.
Meredith, of Indiana, has abandoned his
Democratic associates and takes the stump
for the Republican nominees. The same is
true of Colonel j Gupry, of the Twenty
third Wisconsin Infantry, who has hitherto
exerted much influence in his party, and
was, not long since, its candidate for Com
gress in the Madison District. After aiding
to whip Hampton, Forrest, Wise & Co, he

who made speeches for. and were very in
strumental in securing General Cary's cleo
tien to Congress from the Cincinnati (Ohin)
District two years ago, have now planted
themselves squarely on the Republican plat
form and are going to work with will for
Grant and Coifax. The Cincinnati CONNER

says: From every direction We hear of

| GOVERNOR Brown OF GEORGIA ON THE
SITuATIoN.-In a speech delivered at At
lanta, Georgia, on the 18th ult., Governor
Brown is reported saying He agreed
with Mr.. Hi, that there is no danger OF
war in this country if Grant is elected Presi
dent. He wished he could say as much in
case Seymour was elected. He had nothing
to say against Mr.. Seymour, but he consid-
cred the platform of his party, and the out
pouriEgs from the pen of Blair, as forebod-
ings of impending danger, and these dan
gers would break out in Georgia, the South.
in fact all over the United States if that
party succeed. The success of the Grant and
Colfax party means peace, and the success
of the opposing party means war-sueh
war this country has never known be fore.
He alluded to indications in this State
He referred to the democratic demonstra-
tons IN this city, leaving out of considera-
ton the speech of Ben. Hill, whom he pro-
nounced political maniac. He referred
more particularly to the speeches of Mr.
Toombs and Gen. Cobb. He said he would
pass by the abuse Of Gen. Cobb as too idle
for notice, as he never stopped to handy
words with blaeesuard. He regarded these
speeches as indications of danger to the
country. They indicated revolutionary
spirit in the country which meant to sub
vert the new State Governments Having
been an original secessionist, and having
gone through the war as one, he was able to
understand the notes of alarm. He was sat-
lshed that they meant war, and he appealed |
to the farmers OF Georgia to know if they |
were ready for it to the merchant and la |
borer to know if they were ready for it. But |
if there is any revolution, any blood growing
out of all this. the Republicans will not be |
for it.

RAILROAD PRoGREss.-End of the track

from Winnemucca. Passengers and freight
are brought through to Mill City, and yester-
days stage arrived here at noon. 1t should
have been here at 10 o'clock A. NJ, but delay
was occasioned in efecting the change from
Browns. Stage time to cars from here is
only nine hours. The grading is completed
above here over forty miles, excepting possi-
bly, couple of days work in Emigrant Canon.
Much work is done at intervals beyond the
completed portion. The want of locomotives
and cars for transportation has delayed track
laying, for while an average of but little over
two miles Of track per day has been laid,
several days over four have been; and Au-
gust 10Th six miles and eight hundred feet of
it was laid and cars run over it. By actual
work it has been shown that eight miles of

Copperheadism will support this ticket.
Every Secessionist who knows the game
that is being played will support it..
We eau either beat it or beat nothing !;
for it challenges the people to an un-
equivocal choice between the Confeder-
acy and the Union, between loyalty and
disloyalty. There is no mistaking the
issue as there might have been if men
like Bonni6eld had been placed upon the
ticket for then the animus of the party
might have been concealed and Demo-
Gratis, who claim to be loyal could have
the nominations with some
show of consistency. No man, not
blind, can deny that the issues,
as presented in 1868, are rs uumistakabe
as those of 1864; and that the Dem
ocracy have advanced their position
beyond even the pretense of loyalty.

it was the unanimous judgment of the South

decided by the war, and that it is their in
tention to abide by that decision. Through
their State Conventions they have abolished
slavery, annulled the ordinances of secession,
and have returned to peaceful pursuits, with
the sincere purpose of fulfilling all their
duties under the Constitution which they
have sworn to support. Here the line

stantly several persons jumped forward and

horses bride, while they earnestly asked
him to make speech. The people wanted
to hear HIM talk, and he ought to speak
this time, at all events. The General list
ened quietly to the babel of voices about him
for moment, and turning to the eager solic-
itors for speech who held his horse, said
" am not in want of volunteers now, gen.
tlemen,." The joke from so unexpected a
source was climax, and the General drove
off victor.
