Our readers are aware of the fact that
Messrs. Boutwell, and Cresswell repre-
sent in Grants Cabinet the extreme
radical sentiment of the country. To
their influence it is feared that the Presi-
dent has yielded. judging from his in
consistent course in recently backing
''the bitter-enders" in Mississippi. The
letter of Dent-the Presidents brother
in-law-will be read with interest:
WASHINGTON, D. c.. August II. 1869.
To Hon. George S. Bout,OeR, Secretary Of
The Treasury.
SIR: I shall mako little apology for
asking your attention to my letter, and
less for the nature of its contents. You
we're the first to deny the political ortho-
doxy of my friends and myself, and by
all the rules of the forum am entitled
to defence. Again, you hold an Office
OF the republic, and your acts, therefore,
arc legitimate subjects of criticism by
the humblest citizen thereof. But in
some respects we are alike. For in
stance, we are both aspirants for place,
with this difference: You aim to be the
next President, with every assurance of
success, Except" in the opinion of the
people.
While seek an humber place with
my hopes in disastrous eclipse, except"
in the judgment of Mississippi, so in the
probable results of the future we both
stand adverse to the judgment Of the
country. In the pursuit of your ambi-
ton you are ungrateful and unscrupu-
lous as to the means of success. Your
organ, the 'New York Sum-" in the same
breath ridicules the capacity of your
master, and dwells with emphasis upon
your peculiar fitness for his Office. Your
tool, Mr.. Bullock, became so reckless in
tho manipulation of your department in
the interest Of your ambition, and 30 de-
fant of the wishes of the President and

LARS SLoLEN.-On the night of Monday
last, 10th inst, the depot of the Lau-
rens Railroad, at this place, was entered,
and the safe belonging to the Southern
Express Company taken to car, some
distance off, where it was broken and
robbed of S1,8S9. One package, con-
taining over 81 600, had been deposited
on the evening of that day by Mr.. John
Kyle, of this village; the other package
had been deposited by Mr.. Samuel L.
Vance, of Martins Depot. The depot

We have not heard rs to the means en-

the guilty parties, but, it is supposed,
several participated in the robbery.

that man is Pendleton. Young, ardent,

a Noble American.

1t affords pleasure to read of the beneiactions of
such men as GEORGE PEABODY, the London banker,
who has recently returned to America, TO spend
his declining years. Some time ago he gave three
quarters of a million of dollars to erect houses for
the poor in London, and afterwards increased the
fund to one million. The dwellings are erected,
and will for centuries, perhaps, prove a blessing to
the poor of that great city. Soon after the close
of the civil war, he gave one million of dollars to
establish free schools at the South, for all classes,
irrespective of color. Since his late return to
America, he has added another similar amount to
the previous sum, making it now TWO millions.
In an able and eloquent letter to the trustees, &C
companying the gift, he says:
"All the stocks / have given as above are to be
held in trust by yourselves and your successors, for
the same purposes and under the same conditions as
the funds given you by my original letter creating
your trust. 1 do this with the earnest hope, and in
gift and upon the deliberations and future action of
yourselves and your general agent, it may enlarge
the sphere of usefulness already entered upon and
prove n permanent and lasting boon, not only to the
Southern States, but to the whole of our dear coun-
try, which 1 have ever loved 50 well, but never SO
much as now in my declining years, and at this time
(~probably the last occasion l shall ever have to adj
dress you) rs 1 look back over the changes and the
progress Of nearly three quarters Of n century. And
I pray the Almighty God will grant 10 it n future as
happy and noble in the intelligence and virtues ofits
citizens, Us it will be glorious in unexampled power
and prosperity"

Call for n Public Meeting.

To the Editor Of the Pacific Commercial hoce'tS"
SIR Every Planter and every Resident Oh THESE
Islands. who sympathises with the Planters' anu
those who have invested in the agriculture Oh u
country. feels the immediate necessity OF some dehnHe
action in regard to Labor. Therefore, q rev VINO
have spoken together consider it best to call a fuDhc
Meeting of all interested, and 1T is particularly
desired that every man should be heard who mas an
opinion to express. If there are ways In "hich
Labor can be obtained so as to supply the DEMAND
in a better way from that formerly pursued let us
consult together and let the way be shown. Lei Us
decide from what source and how we shall endeavor
to procure Labor if it shall appear that the Board
of immigration is not the best means through which
to obtain Labor, and the course of the Board is not
for the prosperity of the country, let us petition the
next Legislature to repeal the law under which it
exists. If it be shown that the majority feel that the
action of the Board is for good, let us unite to up
hold its acts and to assist them in what the Board
claim to be their desire-the present good for the
countryside good of the Laborer and the good of the
Planter. We therefore invite all to be present and to
come prepared.-Those who have figures to lay before
the Meeting, and those that have any thoughts to
offer. Let all the facts be adduced and all arguments
there be offered. where they can be replied to, and
supported in free and open debate. And we do
hope that every Planter who is unable to attend will
give us his views and experience by letter. If you
have had Chinese, what proportion are good, what
proportion are bad what kind of labor do you pre-
fer, how do you propose to obtain it. One year from
October 1st, all the Chinese or nearly all that are
now under Government contract will have fulfilled
their term of service, and it is very certain that they
will not at once desire to engage. The Planters must
have Labor to take the place of these men, or as the
only alternative, give up their fields and their cult
walton, and let the labor of years go for naught not
a pleasant way of winding up the best part of man s
Life Labor. Once more we say, let US come together
as men, laying aside all prejudice and hard feelings,
question of Labor. 1t is proposed to hold the
Meeting in the Court House at Honolulu, on Satur-
day, October 9th. This will give time for all to be
heard from, and We do hope, that every man having
a desire to see this question settled, will address the
Planters Meeting. S. n. CASTLE, Chairman.

enc Telcrrnph i'm England.

The postal telegraph bill has passed Parliament,
been approved by the Queen, and is now n law.
1t places all the telegraph lines completely in the
hands of the Postmaster General, who is required
to transmit dispatches on the same footing as
letters, and subject to the same conditions, 80 far
as they are applicable. No rates either of COM
pensation or of speed are fixed by the bill, being
left, apparently, to the direction of the Post-of6ce
department, which is required, at the end of each
year, to exhibit an account Of receipts and
expenses belonging to the postal telegraph service.
The sum paid for the existing lines is f5,715,-
O4s, or about S2s, 200, 600, but the govern
ment is allowed to borrow 81 DOC, 900 to meet
this and other expenses incident to the change of
system. We shall soon see how well the new
law works, and whether it will increase the bust
ness of telegraphing and make it a source of
revenue to the government. Should it prove
successful, the American Government will un-
doubtcdly follow England's example, and purchase
all the lines throughout the Union.
