i The Foreign Office.

The steamers mail brought the resignation of
the late incumbent of the Foreign Office, Mons.
Chas. C.. de Varigny, intimations of which had
been announced by previous advices. So far ms
we can learn, it has been received as welcome
news by all, in Office or out, not excepting the
members of the administration for the late
Minister Of Foreign Affairs did not enjoy tie
highest popularity, even among his own country
men. Elevated to Office solely through the in
Auence of the late Il. e. Wylie, who had found
him q most valuable and trusty confident in his
various schemes, he retained his position, not SD
much from any ability OF fitness for the duties
entrusted to him. ms out of Difference - the
advice which Mr.. Wylic had given to the King,
recommending him as n trusty servant.
1t will be remembered that we opposed Mr..
Varigny's appointment Mt the time it was made,
mainly on the ground that he was n member of
the French Legion Of Honor, which is every
where regarded rs tantamount to being in the
service of the French Enperor.-thc decoration
being a mark of peculiar favor, bestowed only on
those who have shown great devotion to the
French Empire. lie was never in any sense a
Hawaiian, but in every sense an alien, and the
Hawaiian Nation loses nothing in his retirement.
The Foreign Office has for n year past been
Professionally filed by His Exccllency Stephen ii.
Phillips. who, during his incumbency, has given
much satisfaction, having shown the possession
of many of the qualifications required for the
Office; and his appointment as Minister of
Foreign Affairs would doubtless be satisfactory
To our citizens generally and be n credit to the
nation. The duties are not onerous, but the in
cumbent should possess q certain dignity, refine
ment and suavity which this Office more p~articu-
larly requires. The Minister of Foreign Affairs
Is in every government the peculiar representa-
tive Of the Sovereign, and the peer of the highest
accredited agents of other governments.
We have heard the name of our brother editor
Of the Gazette mentioned in connection with the
vacant portfolio and if a transfer from the
hardships Of the editorial sanctum to the sine
cure life Of a diplomat is to be coveted if good
pay, good wines and good dinners are the chief
end of life, we sincerely hope the doctor may re-
ceive the appointment, and then live forever to
eniOy il.

somewhat of a. MIDDLE.

Among our =. Notes " Of last week, n case was
mentioned as having been brought before the
Police Court of this city under Section 1 of the
Law Of 1868, regulating the storage of "Explo-
sive substances other than g~unpowder." 1t was
stated at the time by Deputy Marshal Dayton,
that the principal object in bringing this case
was, to obtain a railing of the Court as to the in
depreciation of the statute. An unfortunate
feature in our law-making hitherto has been I'M
due haste, resulting, in many instances now to be
seen on our statute books, of bad English, bad
grammar and puzzling obscurities. This law IN
regard to the storage of Kerosene, ETC., is a case
in point, where it forbids the keeping in store,
{ : in any one place. Of more than ten cases.
Now the question arises what is to be under
stood by the word 50 place. in this connection?
Webster's first definition reads thus: GA par
ticular portion OF space of indefinite extent. occu-
pied. or intended to be occupied, by any person
or thing, and considered as the space where a
person or thing does or may rest or has rested, as
distinct from space in general" Besides this,
the word has seventeen other meanings, making
it's use in this instance delightfully."- indefinite.
Our surprise at this singularly crude style OF law
making, is however somewhat abated, when we
learn that the statute in question was the produc-
ton of no less a legal mind than that of the pres
ent Minister of Finance-a mind, it is said that
SO delights in the sinuosities of. legal ~ lam
guage that it cannot produce a single sentence of
ordinary English.
But the law, vague and indefinite as it is, be-
comes : : as clear as mud under the examination
of the Police Magistrate. That functionary, with
a surprising ingenuity, and a GOODNESS which is
refreshing, informs the merchants, the Police and
the Fire Wardens, that Z" any one place " where
ten cases of Kerosene Oil may be stored, means a
Fire Proof building and that a wooden structure
is not n :" place - under the particular law! A
very Daniel come Judgment! The talent for
elucidation of obscurIties that can figure n fire
proof building out of n mere &c place." and can
rule that a wooden structure is no place at aH,-is
surely itself quite ' out of place" on the bench,
or any where else. ~

The Difference.

A writer in the last weeks Gazette, in speak
ing Of Rev. DIR. Todd's article on the Chinese
question points with evident satisfaction to the
fact that the Rev. Doctor says: "They can all
read and write their own language" 1t is pos
sible- that Chinese vino ~emigrate from China of
their own will may be able to read and write, but
that the coolies who are brought into this king
dom can do so is no longer a matter of doubt,
the contrary having been proven. The difference
between DIR. Todd's statement, and that made by
the Minister OF Finance on a late occasion, is
this, that if DR.. Todd has made a mistake it was
from ignorance of the facts while the Minister
made his assertion when he had positive evidence
TO tie contrary.

EPISCOPAL CHURCH IN THE HAWAIIAN IsLANDs.-The
Rev c. d: WhipPie, for four years IN charge Of the Episcopal
Church at Wahuku, Mani, has been compelled 10 return to
Minnesota, solely owing To the illness of his brother, Bishop
Whiprle, who requires hs assistance. 1t is not true that he
and The Rev. C.. Turner, late of Honolulu, both now in this
city en- route, are retiring from inability to cooperate harmo-
nionsly with any Of their fellow-workers-
Bishop Staiey is here, waiting for the next steamer for dono-
lulu, which sails on Wednesday next. Since leaving England,
in April last, he has been visiting the British Consular and
other Chapiaincies of South America, east and west, under
sa.n1ees Sf ,h from Por che A os1ss' as Of ,hi. c %as 1se Srs a Si.i, 'S S
an English Bishop To South America, il excited much interest
place, both British and American, a hearty Welcome. The
Emperor of Brazil, all the Presidents Of the South American
him and his Chaplain, the Rev. Lord c. 4. Hervey, every
courtesy and attention. At Buenos Ayres alone, no less thln
Of a crowded congregation This visitation has prolonged The
Bishops absence from his Diocese.
We clip the above item from the Alta CaLfar-
mia, in which paper, n correspondent informs us,
it was inserted ut the request of Bishop Staley.
IF this be correct, it il important. as it contains
evidence bearing directly on the position which
this paper has always maintained, that Bishop
Stniey's mission was not to be regarded simply as
n religious but also AS a political one. This is
admitted in the above article, where it is stated,
by authority, that he travelled through South
America under 4" the auspices of the GBitish]
Foreign Office" No further evidence ON this
point is required.
Respecting the reference to Messrs. Whipple
and Turner, in the first paragraph above which
was called forth by the statement Of the Homo
lulu correspondent Of the Alta, to the effect that
the clergymen referred to left these islands on
account of dissatisfaction, justice to them as well
as to the Alta obliges us to say that tie CORE
s~pondent of the Alta (whocver he beg vas sub
stantially correct, if current reports aie at all
reliable in the matter referred to. AMI this il
corroborated by the fact communicated 10 Us that
they declined, while in San Francisco, to sign a
contradiction Of the statements made by the
Alas correspondent, which was prsented to
them for signature, and designed for publication.

While the discussion of the subject here may not
eliminate any new fundamental theory, yet we
may obtain useful light upon how far we, in our
peculiar position and circumstances, can build
up by protecting our manufacturing interests.
We hope to see the question fully discussed before
the meeting of the Legislature, when some action
will probably be taken.
