CORRESPONDENCE.

Mr. EDITOR: The following is from the
Advertiser Of the 3lst ult:
"Mr Austin was appointed temporarily to
fill the position Unexpectedly vacated by
Judge Davis, and as We said at the time was
not possessed of the full requirements to fit
him for the position"
The above is calculated to make one ''larf."
Judge Austin was appointed temporarily"
and the editor of the advertiser, probably, as
being the very best be could do in commenda-
ton of very good appointment, "damned
him with faint praise" He said Mr. Austin
did not possess the "full requirements as set
forth above, yet his long residence here, and
knowledge of the vernacular eminently quail
ify him for the position" The editor evil
IDENTIFY did not read his article of the llth of
July, 1868, or he would have seen that the
exceptions he made to Mr.. Austin's perfect
fitness for the position had nothing what
ever TO do with his being engaged in bust
ness. The objection of the editor was be-
cause Judge Austin was not a native HalOaiidn,
as the following extract from that article will
show:
The position of Second Associate should
be filed by TdtiVe RdsOdiid'i, qualified to
speak both languages. The interests of the
native population call for such person, if
any can be found fitted in any reasonable de-
gree for it,"
In regard TO the temporary nature of the
appointment Of Judge Austin, and the edi-
tors views of the importance of the points
in which that gentleman did not come up to
his ideal, would beg to call attention to the
concluding sentence of the article of the llth
of July, 1868. 1t is as follows: eve only
wish the appointment (of Judge Austin),
might be a permanent one" If the editor
had read his article of year ago, before
writing that of last Saturday, can not be-
lieve that even he would have had the impu-
dence to have said what heidi Cd the subject,
in the last Issue of his paper. He ought not
to be blamed for not reading the back numbers
of his paper, for, undoubtedly, the intense
mental agony he suffers in their production
is SO disproportionately great in comparison
with the result, that he has the sense to be
disguised with his mental progeny, and can
not bear the sight of them after they have
left his hand. He sends them forth into the
world, to take care of themselves, denying
them at every turn and nothing is so ludi-
crous as the childish and puerile excuses he
makes, when forced to acknowledge their
paternity. F.

this contract, although Mr.. Emmes-at
the time, land it appears since) felt ag-
grieved that he did not get the contract,
and has very inconsiderately and unjustly
complained Of his treatment in the matter.
Mr.. Widemann had nothing whatever TO
do with awarding this contract for copper
and nails. The proposal came from the
Superintendent Of Public Works. who.
under instructions from and with the
knowledge of the Minister OF the Interior,
made the award strictly in accordance
with justice. Mr.. Widemann in company
with Mr.. Stirling saw Mr.. Emmes once
at the Interior Office, Immediately after
the award was made. and as Mr.. Emmes'
disappointment was uppermost in his
mind, he probably talked to them on the
subject but what expressions either Of
them made use of. no one. unless it be
Mr. Emmes. recollects; but one thing is
certain that Mr.. Widemann did not init
mate to Mr.. Emmes that the party could
only obtain justice by Substituting some
individual in the ring" The charge"
of the Advertiser is SO devoid of founda-
ton, so full of INSCRIPTIONS malice, that
it seems almost incredible that a man ex-
lists who could make it, and although the
editor of that paper has heretofore showed
himself capable of many things in that
line, it was hardly to be supposed, tina:
even he would descend to this last act of
malevolence.

To the Editor Of the Hd,caiidm Gdzette-Sir:
Having seen in your paper of last week a
notice of the action have in the Supreme
Court, against Joseph Morris, for trespass,
and as it lie a gross Misrepresentation of facts
beg you will publish this in your next issue,
that the public may be better enlightened as
well as to do justice to myself
The stone wall fencing of my pasture is built
on a slope, the descent being on the outside,
therefore the fence, according to law, does not
require to be five feet high, in that case. 1t
is from four feet to four feet six inches &C.
cording to the steepness of the slope Ny
wooden fences range from five feet to five feet
six inches high. The time the trespass COM
menced was the beginning of December 1866,
and continues down TO this day. My fence
is sufficient to keep in my own cattle. The
defendant has not fence of any description
on any of his boundary lines. / can prove
this by my witnesses. 1 can also prove that
have taken horses and cattle of my neigh
bors to pasture, they paying me rent, and
these horses and cattle never broke over, or
through my fences, or out Of my pasture, ex-
cepting when the defendants bullocks broke
the line fence between Mr.. Huddy's proper
ty and myself, thereby causing me to pay
damages for invading Mr.. Huddy's property.
The only place where there is no fence is the
ridge of high steep mountain, the line be-
tween defendant and myself, and, observe, my
cattle or horses never cross his line, into his
pasture on the other side of the mountain,
while his are continually crossing said line
into mine Does the law command me to
enclose my entire property, in ring fence of
the strongest kind, for the sole purpose of
keeping out defendants cattle, and is defend
ant allowed to let his cattle range at large over
the property of his neighbors, from one end
of the valley to the other? for as / said before,
he has not fence of any description on any
of his boundary lines. In conclusion there
has not been day during the whole period
above stated, that more or less of bis cattle
have not been on my enclosed pasture, rang
ing from or to l6 head or more, and can
produce evidence TO show the same. As re-
CARDS the "scieuter" have sufficient evil
dence to show, he has been notified many
times during the above long period, but he
paid no attention to my circumstances.
Yours respectfully,
GEORGE NORRIS.
Our correspondent seems 10 be laboring
under the mistaken apprehension that our
reporter was stating the case as he may IN
derstand or know it, whereas he was merely
stating what occurred in court.-what coun-
sci said on each side The counsel for de-
fendeut, Col Jones, in our report states his
side, and the plaintiffs counsel, Mr.. Mont
The Hawaiian gazette., 1869-08-04

gomery states his side, and the Court makes
the decision.
In our report We state:
THAT there was no allegation that the
plaintiffs land WAS lawfully inclosed, which
was necessary; however, the Court would
not dismiss the complaint on that ground,
but that proof of the existence of legal
fence would be required on the trial"
The more proper report would be as fol-
lows: The court intimated that if the plain
tiff intended to claim extra damages, on ac-
count of his having lawful fence, he should
have alleged it, but that the Court would not
insist on that; but evidence might be offered
at trial to show the fact. The ruling of the
Court was delivered without being written
out, and the words CLOSELY and inartistical-
ly" were only used once by the Court, and
that in reference to the 4th point and not
the Sd.

Doors, ladies' boots are the subject of
letter from Mr.. Bonomi TO the Builder
strange medium for such topic, by the way.
He has been measuring the foot Of the Venus
de Medici, or rather Qt amounts to the same
thing) of an accurate cast of the statue.
The erect height of the figure is, as is well
known, five feet two inches, and he finds the
length Of the foot to be exactly nine inches,
or as nearly US possible one seventh of the
height. The breadth of the widest part Of
the sole is three and three-eight inches,
fraction over one-eighteenth Of the figures
stature From these data, and a knowledge
of her height, every lady can determine what
should be the size Of her boots: she may ex-
coed the dimensions given in the formula II
she sees fit, but woe to her health, and,
according to Mr.. .Bonomi, goodbye TO the
symmetry of her pedals, if she tries to squeeze
them into anythingl less. But does the Venus,
or any other idealisation, represent every
case Of the humanity it typi6ese II, as Is
certainly the case, some feminine extremities
exceed the seulptor's proportions, others as
certainly fall within them; and II Is hardly
likely that the posscssors of these will wear
boots too big for them merely for the sake
Of conforming to fancy standard. The best
proportion is a good fit, and upon this point
English bootmakers and English danes have
much need Of improvement.

CHICAGO, JULY 12.-The Commercial ex-
cursiou party from Chicago had an interview
with Brigham Young, at his residence in Salt
Lake, yesterday. During the conversation
he told Senator Trumbull that be would pro-
badly hear of some Federal officials being
put out of the Territory. II 1t was done he
might be sure 1t was for good and suncient
reasons. Judge Trumbull advised him, be-
fore taking such a step, to make known ms
grievances to President Grant, who will not
permit violation of the law to go unpunish-
ed He said IL will not be safe to modest
public officers In the discharge of their duties.
Brigham Young said that Grant had re-
moved only Mormon officers In Utah, and
for no reason except that they were Mormons.
Brigham further declares, and they would
not obey the law of Congress prohibiting
polygamy, because Congress bad no right TO
interfere in such matters. Judge Trumbull
replied, declining TO discuss the subject; but
said that the law, at all events, mnst be up
held and obeyed. Young's declarations
caused considerable sensation among the
members of the party. The Mormons treat
ed the excursionists with the cold, constrain-
ed politeness that repels rather than invites
advances.
CHICAGO. July I7th.-The RpubIican's spe-

Fish thoroughly endorses the scheme for the

You didn't work it right" As the
Advertiser, with its usual disregard for
what is due to common courtesy-not to
say decency-in its unwarranted and
malignant attacks upon the Hon. H.
A. Widemann, in recent issues, has
charged him with making the above re-
mark to a gentleman, who was an unsuc-
cessful bidder for government contract,
and although no one, who knows Mr..
Widemann, or any other person connected
with the Interior Department, would pay
the slightest regard to such charges of the
Advertiser, as that contained in its issue
of the Both ult., it may be well for the
information of the public and to show
upon what small foundation the editor of
that paper builds many of his theories,
to make a plain and truthful statement
of the circumstances, out of which this
" charge" originated. The facts of the
case are as follows In June 1868, sealed
tenders were called for by the Interior De
partment, to furnish certain amount of
sheet copper and copper nails, for copper
ing the piles to be used in making the
wharves then in process of erection. There
were two tenders made, one by Messrs.
Foster & Co., and one by Mr.. Geo. c.
Emmes. Messrs. Foster & Co., proposed
to furnish the copper as specified at
twenty-four cents per pound, and the
nails at thirty-two cents per pound, and
in making their tender did not specify
the actual weight of box or sheet of
any certain grade of copper, but left the
weight to be estimated according to the
supposed number of ounces to the square
foot. Mr.. Emmes rendered to furnish
sheet copper at twenty-five cents per
pound and nails at the same price. Mr..
Emmes at the same time specified the
exact weight of each box of his copper.
which considerably overrun the supposed
weight, reckoning by the specified ounces
to the square foot. For instance, a case
of sixteen ounce copper which should
weigh little over four hundred and fifty
three pounds, was put down by Mr..
Emmes as weighing four hundred and
lightweight pounds, being at the rate of
sixteen and three-fourth ounces per foot,
other grades Of copper we're put down at
about the same rates. In figuring up the
cost of the material according to the above
statement, the Superintendent of Public
Works, Mr.. Stirling, estimated the weight
of Foster & Co.'s copper, at the specified
number of ounces IN q sheet, and took
Mr.. Emmes' weight as be gave it himself,
and found that Foster & Co.'s tender foot
ed up -Four thousand eight hundred and
thirty-two dollars and forty-six cents, and
Mr.. Emmes' footed up -Four thousand eight
hundred and ffty-seven dollars and fifty
cents, a difference of twenty Eve dollars
and four cents, in favor of the tender Of
Messrs. Foster & Co., who, in conse-
quence, got the contract There was no
unfair means used by any one in awarding

Excellency C. C. Harris, seeing a horse, at

down the road, turned suddenly into the
street leading to the residence of Mr.. W.
Duncan, when the gentlemen were thrown
from the carriage, seriously bruising both of
them. We congratulate them that their
bruises were not, as they might have been,
more serious; and We hope they may avoid
such dangers in future, as good men are
