The Fourth.

The anniversary of American Independence
passed Off very quietly; the yacht race, process
sion and dinner of the Good Templars, racing and
horse-riding, Chinese fire crackers and quite gen.
eral closing of stores, being the marked features
of the day.
We notice that American probably an
inmate OF the Government House, communicates
a column to the Gazette on the subject of the
celebration of the fourth, in which he congratu-
lates himself and brother officials that the usual
celebration was omitted in Difference to their feel
ings. Poor fellows; that 8 Grafton of a Reverend
Gentleman" in 1867, still rankles in their mem
cries. 1t is a hopeful sign. We had supposed
that their {" American feathers" together with
their American principles had been buried SO
deep that no Grafton ever uttered could resurrect
or call them to life.
we have every reason for supposing that a
very large majority of the Americans residing
here, and who heard that grafton, sympathised
with the Reverend Gentlemen " in his effort to
bring a blush to the cheek of .s certain officials
of the Government of this countrv.,, The Rever-
end Gentleman's back is now turned, which NAV
account for the attack made by this Govern
ment scribbler.
The real causes which led to an omission of the
usual celebration are: That many of our nrom-
lnent American citizens are absent that the
American Minister was absent, and that the
Charge left here by General McCook found it
essential that he should visit Lahaina that heavy
drafts have been made npon our citizens for bene-
VIOLENT purposes, one being the rebuilding of a
school for Hawaiian youth that the stagnation in
business has caused, and still causes, a general
feeling of depression, which may or may not
be ascribed to the policy of the very individ-
uals who impute the want of a celebration to a
turn of public sentiment in their favor.

The Supreme Court.

The Supreme Court is now in session and was
employed on Thursday and Friday in the trial of
the Hon. A. NJ. Kahalewai, late circuit judge of
Maui, for perjury. 1t appears that sometime
since, the late proprietor of the " Bartlett Hotel'
was brought before the Police Court on the
charge of selling or furnishing liquor to natives,
and during the trial two natives were put upon
the stand by the prosecutor, who testified that
they had been supplied with liquor by the bar
keeper at the above named house. On the part
Of the defence the Hon. NJ. Kahalewai was put
upon the stand, and testified that he had held a
conversation in front of or near the Court House
with the natives, who appeared as witnesses for
the prosecution, and that they had told him that
they had not been furnished with liquor at the
house named. The position and standing of the
Honorable witness doubtless caused the Magis-
trate to place considerable reliance upon his testi-
mony, and as a consequence the proprietor of the
IS Bartlett Hotcl'' was acquitted.
The two natives whose testimony Lad thus been
summarily disposed of were again conferred with,
and the fact elected that they had not even met Mr..
Kahalewai on the day or at the time at which it
was alleged that the conversation had taken place,
and it was consequently determined to put Mr..
Kahalewai upon trial for perjury. At his trial it
was in testimony that Mr.. Kahalewai could not
have held the conversation which he had claimed
as having taken place. The case was given to
the jury and q unanimous verdict of guilty was
by them rendered. Messrs. R.. G. Davis and H.
Thompson, as Counsel for the defendant, moved
for a new trial before the full bench for cause
assigned, to the effect that the verdict was not in
accordance with tho law and the evidence

Hawaiian scenery.

Strangers who visit these islands and see our
charming valleys and mountain scenery, often ex-
press wonder why painting as a vocation is not
followed here more than it is. The reason is ap-
parent-because our population is SO sparse as
not to offer inducements to such as have the taste,
to devote the time and study required to produce
pictures which may be admired and pronounced
finished. Yet we have artists among us who may
be called really skillful, and whose labor is deserv-
ing of patronage.
A couple of years since we noticed, while in
Waikiki, some of the sketches and paintings of
Mr.. E. Bailey, which showed the genius of a true
artist, and suggested that he try his skill on
that magnificent mountain which is day and night
within sight of the residents of that village, and
which the natives call { the house of the sum-"
fLast week the schooner Ka Moi brought us a
picture of this mountain. painted in oil colors by
Mr.. Bailey. In size it is about "a by 36 inches,
taken from near Mr.. Everett's house, back of the
Waiknpu Plantation, with the grand mountain of
Haleakala beyond, and the plantation and sand
hills intervening. 1t represents a sunset scene,
with the summit of the mountain clear of clouds,
and the sunset casting over the whole a rich tint
OF golden hue, such as is sometimes seen there.
The blending of tropical, plantation and mountain
scenery in one view makes it one of the finest
paintings which a lover of the fine arts could
covet.
The picture can be seen in the book store, hang
ing over the post-oihce letter delivery where it
has been admired by many who are familiar with
the localities represented. We trust Mr.. Bailey
will not let his brush remain idle, SO long as he
can produce pictures like the one described. The
Wailuku Valley would make another subject for
a fine sketch, all the more to be priced, because
visited by so few. 1t is the most charming on
Maui.

The whole area OF the United States comprises
about $500, 900 square miles, and the estimated
population is 40, OOO, 600, of which 100000 are
Indians. \ large part of this newly-opened ter
ritory consists of mining country, interspersed
with rich agricultural districts, and there is no
doubt but that, as the population increases, it
will become the most productive and wealthiest
part OF the American Union. The product of the
mining States and Territories, for 1868, with the
sparse population at present existing in them,
was rs follows:

Great Country.

One can have but little idea of the vastness of
territory which the Pacific Railroad has opened
up to the tceming millions of the Eastern and
Western Worlds, without looking at the sta
tistics of the extent of the great territories,
which till lately have been almost shut out from
the rest of the world. The extent and estimated
population of this new country, may be seen from
the following figures

The Chinese in Hawaii.

We notice that some of four American exchanges
are discussing the subject of the influx of Chinese
into the United States. The New York CONNER
ciai Adrertiser says: 80 This coming Chinese
immigration threatens the most serious strain to
our Christian civilization that it has ever yet ex-
perienced. If we do not rise superior and conquer
it by the sheer might of moral and religious truth,
it will swamp and sink lis in n darker, fouler des-
tiny than ever overwhelmed any of the lost ma
tons OF the world"
There is no cause for anxiety about the moral
condition of this new population, if proper efforts
are made to instruct them. The Chinese are as
susceptible to religious instruction as the natives
of any foreign country who emigrate to America.
Already the Roman Catholics in San Francisco
have converted over one hundred Chinese to their
faith, having first instructed them in the elements
of the English language. And wherever schools
have been established for their benefit in Califor-
MIA the Chinese have eagerly sought the advanta-
yes offered to them, and shown commendable
progress.
We find the same experience here. During the
past year, n converted Chinaman, named Aheong,
has been employed as q colporteur among his
countrymen residing on these islands. Besides
travelling over the group and conversing with
every Chinese living here, schools have been es-
tablished in Honolulu, in which he, assisted by
several foreigners, has given instruction to such of
his countrymcn as desire to learn English. These
schools have been quite successful, and some
thirty or forty Chinese are now studying English
and have made good progress in it. The effort
shows that they are as ready to learn our
language and to be taught Christianity, as
the Hawaiians or any other people. MIR. Abe
ong's religious meetings have been well attended
wherever he has held them, and his labors
among his countrymen have been attended with
success. We note these things, to show that the
same labors bestowed on Chinese are as likely to
be rewarded with success rs when made with any
other people ignorant of the English language.
On his tour through this group, Mr.. Aheong
took a census OF his countrymen which will be in
tcrcsting. We take the figures rs given by DIR.
Gulick in his report to the Hawaiian Evangelical
Association.

From these figures it will be seen that the
whole Chinese population of this group numbers
1.4S4, of whom 273 live on Hawaii, 249 on Maui,
2l6 on Kauai, and the remainder on Oahu.
The number of coolies actually in service is not
given, but it is doubtful whether it be more than
eight hundred, and the term of service of all will
expire in from two to three years. Those not
employed as coolies. engage as pedlars, country
traders, and merchants in this city, while n few
settle down as agriculturists and gardeners. Asa
general thing, the proportion of vicious persons
among the coolies is larger than among natives or
FOREIGNERS.
