next morning. Early in the morning

COW to his residence. The COW was very
unruly and the poor boy could not &c,

The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1856-1888, 1869-11-13
ICorrespondence Of p. c. Advertiserl

Every well wisher of the Hawaiian Islands has
been interested in the discussions of late concerning
the introduction of foreign laborers to these islands.
My impression is they will come. Water always
finds its level. While We have land 10 cultivate, q
healthful climate, and a sparse and improvident
population, it cannot be otherwise. While other
lands near US GALL lands are near now have an
oyercrowded population and starving millions, who
can hinder the moving tide?
But since go much has been said, and perhaps well
said, i'm regard to this subject, cannot something be
done to stop the work of death among the quiet and
law-loving aborigines of this country?
Spirituous liquors, ava and icentiousness are the
dreadful agents in this work of death. The common
people, although well disposed, are not expected to
reason much on the well being and welfare Of the
nation ; statesmen. philosophers and lawmakers are
the men to look after this.
Some one may say We are bound by treaty and
can do nothing to prohibit s%pirituous liquors, but do
the Government wish to do so if they could 2 Licen-
tiousness stalks abroad in open day, and is so preva-
lent that it is eating out the life-blood of the nation,
and what is being done to prevent it?
Murder, personal assault, defrauding and stealing
are prohibited by law, but crimes worse than these
are being licensed and protected J! These truths
are as plain as the sun at noon day. Can anything
be done to avert these evils? PHILo-HAwAu.

The Privateer Hornet.

This vessel, which was seized by the American
Government, while at Wilmington, n. c., whittier
she had gone to procure coal, was formerly a
blockade runner. She was known during the
late war as the Lady Sterling, and was captured
by Porter's fleet off Wilmington. She is a very
fast though small vessel, and her engines of
enormous power. She was sold by the American
Government some two or three years ago.
She was lately purchased by General Cespedes
for the Cuban Government for $50 900, the pur-
chase being made at sea, so as not to involve the
American or English Government. She then
went to Halifax, where the British authorities
examined her, but could find nothing against her.
She then put to sea, received a complement of
162 men, but finding her supply of coal short,
went into Wilmington, where she was seized and
is now detained. While there, Captain Higgins,
her commander, telegraphed to the Secretary of
the Treasury, asking leave to hoist the Cuban
flag and fire a salute. Secretary Boutwell, being
absent, Acting Secretary Hartley denied the
request.
The New York Tribune gives these as the views
Of the administration, but We have seen the
tatement denied. 1t says the shipment of arms
and munitions of war by either party is not
right to buy and ship arms with the Spaniards.
The neutrality law prohibits the fitting out of
military or naval expeditions. We constantly
bought arms in England during the Rebellion,
and nobody questioned the right of England to
sell them to us or to the Confederates, or to
blockade runners. They took their own risk of
capture but the Alabama was fitted out as a ship
of war to destroy our commerce. The recogni-
ton of Cuban independence would not alter the
law.
The probability is that the Hornet, (or Cuba,
as she is now called,) will not he allowed to leave
port. But how will the American Government
deal with the thirty Spanish g%unboats built at
Mystic and now nearly ready to leave New York?
Will she permit them to sail?

Important Legal Decision.

On Wednesday last, His Honor Justice Hart
well, sitting as q Court of Probate, gave judg-
ment in the matter of the application by a native
woman named Pauahi for letters Of administra-
ton on the estate of Hannah Maughn, deceased.
The petitioner claimed to have been legally adopt
by the deceased, some years previously, and
claimed the property and the right to administer
by virtue of the letters of adoption. The claim
of the petitioner was contested by Mrs. Nancy
Writ, surviving sister and only blood relation of
Mrs. Maughn, who took the ground that she, and
not the adopted child was entitled to administer
ON the estate. There being but little or no per-
sonal property and but very few debts, the Court
was of opinion that letters of administration were
unnecessary. The estate also being but small,
the Court considered that the only issue that
need be determined was the question of heirship.
The facts being in the main admitted by both
the petitioners and contestants counsel, the mat
ter resolved itself into a pure question of law,
under the statutes of the kingdom.
The case was argued before His Honor by Mr..
A. F. Judd for the petitioner, and Mr.. r. G.
Davis for the contestant. The Court delivered an
able and elaborate Judgment in the matter, re-
viewing at great length the statutes in regard to
the status Oh auOpteu chluren, from the earliest
laws down to the present time, and also reasoned
from analogy upon the laws of other countries
and held that while the statutes of this Kingdom
specifically defined the different classes of heirs
entitled to inherit the property of intestates, there
was no law declaring the right of adopted chill
dren to inherit. And by parity OF reasoning.
where SO many kinds of heirs were declared enti-
tied to inherit, but no mention of those adopted,
it was correct to infer that they were excluded.
1t was certain that property might be devised to
such persons, or that they might inherit by spe-
fc provisions of the article of adoption itself; in
the present case, no such provision existed, and
the Court thereupon decreed the contestant,
(sister of deceased) to be the legal heir.
This decision is one of the most important that
has recently been made by our Courts as the
actual status of an adopted child as to heirship in
the estate of an i~ntestate, has never before been
s~olemnly argued or adjudicated upon. We under
stand that the decision will be likely to affect
several other cases of Importance now pending, in
volving rights to property of considerable value.
The decision in full will, we are informed, be
published shortly, and will be perused with in
terest.

The Spanish Government is having serious
trouble with instructions in various parts OF the
Peninsula. A general Republican uprising seems
imminent, and the Regency is demanding extraord-
The Republicans have armed possession of several
interior towns and cities, have cut the telegraph
wires, and stopped government railroad trains.
The majority in the Cortes purpose to suspend in
dividual rights throughout the realm till the upris-
ing is suppressed, but the Republican Deputies
threaten to retire and make trouble if this is done.
1t is predicted that unless the King of Portugal ac-
cepts the Spanish crown within ten days Spain will
soon be a Republic. The Republican movement
has certainly more Roadway now than at any pre-
yious time.

To stations within 500 miles Of San Francisco, the
present rates vary from 35 cents to So, while under
the postal system 20 cents currency will pay for the
TRANSMISSION OF kilograms from San Francisco to any
town in California.
The promised reduction in the rates is SO very
great that the plan of making the purchase by
the Government will be popular among the peo-
pie, to whom the system would soon become as
necessary in daily business as are now the mails.
AT the close of Mr.. GARDENERS address, the
Chamber of Commerce passed several resolutions
warmly endorsing the proposed change, pledging
themselves to labor for it, and instrrcting the
Secretary to transmit copies of the resolutions to
their senators and representatives in Congress.

BRAD Avis INEFFECTUAL.-The buffa-
loes found in the telegraph poles of the
overland line new source of delight on the
treeless prairie-the novelty of having some
thing to scratch against. But it was ex-
pensive scratching for the telegraph COM
pany and there, indeed, was the rub. for
the bisons shook down miles Of wire daily.
A bright idea struck somebody to send to
St. Louis and Chicago for all the brad-awis
that could be purchased, ana these were
driven into the poles with view to wound
the animals and check their rubbing pro-
pensity. Never was greater mistake
The buffaloes were delighted. For the first
time they came to the scratch sure of SEN
sation in their thick hides that thrilled
them from horn TO tail. They would go
fifteen miles to find a brad-awl. They
fought huge battles around the poles con
tanning them, and the victor would proudly
climb the mountainous heap of rump and
hump of the fallen and scratch himself into
bliss uLtil the brad-awl or pole came down.
There has been no demand for brad-awls
from the Kansas region since the first in
voice.
