Riot in Washington.

washington, June Z.
This afternoon disturbance occur
red at the election polls in one of the
wards of this city, during which num-
Der OF colored men and policemen were
shot, beaten, and otherwise injured
The disturbance arose from an attempt
of several negro rowdies to prevent q
colored man voting the Democratic
ticket This colored Democrat is poll
tician of some local notoriety, and had
made himself offensive to his brethren
ut several of the Ward meetings pre-
vious to the election. The police. in
protecting him in his right of franchise,
were roughly handled and compelled
to use weapons in defense. There was
Il good deal of excitement in the neigh
borhood of the fight, and many rumors
of Serious riot; but with the excep-
ton of the beating of few policemen,
she sufferers were rowdies who created
the disorder. The Republicans have
carried the city by about 1000 majority.

THE END OLE FOUR GREAT MEN.

THE END OLE FOUR GREAT MEN.
Alexander, after having climbed the
dizzy heights of his ambiti IN, with his
temples bound with chaplets dipped
in the blood of millions, looked down
upon q conquered world and wept that
there was not another world for him to
conquer, set q city on fire, and died in
a scene of debauch.
Hannibal, after having, to the as
constituent and CONSERVATION OF
Rome, passed the Alps, and having put
to fight the armies of the mistress of
the world, and stripped three bushels
of gold rings from the fingers of her
slaughtered knights, and made her
foundations quake. fled from his
country, being hated by those who
once exultingly united his name with
that of their god and called Hani- Baal,
and died at last by poison administered
with his own hand unlamented and
unwept, in foreign land.
Caesar, after having conqured eight
hundred cities, and dyed his garments
in the blood of one million of his foes,
and after having pursued to death the
only rival he had on earth, was misera
bly, assassinated by those he considered
his nearest friends, and in that very
place the attainment of which had
been his greatest ambition.
Bonaparte, whom mandates, king
and popes obeyed, after having filled
the earth with the terror of his name ;
after having deluged Europe with tears
and blood, and clothed the world in
sackcloth, closed. his days in lonely
Punishment, almost literally exiled
from the world, yet where he could see
his country's banner waving over the
deep, but which did not and could not
bring him aid.S
Thus these four great men who
seemed to stand the representatives of
all those whom the world calls great
these four men who each in turn made
the world tremble to the centre by
their simple tread-severally died, one
by intoxication, or, as was supposed,
by poison mingled with his wine one
suicide, one murdered by his friends,
and one lonely exile How wretched
is the end of all such earthly greatness !!

&. J. Lyons said that it was evident that certain
parties were here for the purpose only of disturbing
the meeting and creating confusion by frivolous talk.
c. III. Judd repealed Mr.. Lyons charge, and
retorted that some had evidently come to the meeting
to make speeches and electioneer for the Legislature.
(More tumult, and motions to adjourn.)
G. J. Lyons made a long and energetic speech,
in which he discussed the coolie and labor contract
system at length.
Replied to by c. n. Judd, who upheld the con-
tract system as legal and necessary. The best
minds of the country-Dr. Judd, Mr.. Bishop, and
others and the government-had approved of it.
Who were they who opposed itf Had they invested
in sugar plantations, and thus conduced to the ben
eft Of the country?
After some more verbal sparring between Messrs.
Lyons and Judd,
Mr.. Henry Thompson got the floor, and spoke in
an eloquent and forcible strain against the views
expressed by Mr.. Judd. Spoke of mems monetary
Interests swaying their actions. Often the smarter
the man, the bigger the devil, when interest was
concerned. Mr.. Judd appears to speak for the gov
eminent, for he says We III. e., the planters and
the government. AS to the best minds being in
favor of the contract system under our laws,-about
all the legal minds Of the country were known to
have expressed an opinion that the penal law for the
enforcement of civil contracts was unconstitutional
all except one,-the Minister of Finance, who had
wisely held his peace on that point. Mr.. I. con-
cluded an exceedingly logical and pertinent speech,
by saying that, while he was not here to electioneer,
yet he thought it was q very good thing to be returned
as a member of the Legislature, and that if the peo-
pie saw fit to send him there he certainly should
make no objection. (Applause.)
After n number of gentlemen had expressed their
views, pro and anti-coolie, (among the former being
Messrs. E. H. Boyd and w. Pinehasa Wood, late
members of the assembly from Honolulu,) the ques-
ton was put on the resolution, and passed in the
affirmative by a large majority, when the meeting
adjourned.

cheap labor is to do it. And this. Mr.. Editor is the
true secret of the great necessity for foreign labor
It is not that there is a dearth of or an nnwiil'ngness
ON the part of Hawaiians. but that the prices pali
are not only not remunerative to them, but scarcely
sufficient to keep soul and body together. rs tnere
not a remedy and n way within ourselves Ior 'rS
great WANT 1t is not to discharged successful
WWhalemen, or to guano islanders, flush with their ac-
cumulated pay, we must look, but to Hawaiian iami-
lies. Colombo them upon your plantations, vitaiize
their labor, the elders to the field, the younger ones
to such duties as suit their capabilities let them
know that their home is there, and you nave a
contented and a permanent force. Let us Proht by
the example of the Mormon settlement In kooiau.
But, say planters, we cannot afford the wages:
Figures don't lie. Under the ancient regime, a heid
hand upon a sugar plantation in Louisiana could not
possibly be brought under 1920 per year the
maximum crop was two h~ogsheads per acre, or one
ton, at 4 cents per pound,-it was well SOLD Con,
trast this with our plantations the price OF a hand
is $40, with a large margin to the planter the
average yield is from 8 to 4 tons per acre, grinding
all the year round. Sugar has averaged y cents IN
San Francisco. Allowing 100 per cent. for expenses,
We have a greater net price than the Southern
planter ever obtained, the yearly profit with them
being from II to IL per cent, according to crop and
prices. In the long run, good wages to good men
will win.

Second Meeting of the Natives on the
COOlie Question.

On Tuesday evening last, another meeting Of the
natives convened at Kaumakapili, which, although
the call was not printed. was numerously attended.
showing the deep interest the people feel in the
question Of labor. Mr.. J. Komoikaehuehu was called
to the chair. and Mr.. J. d. Hnlai appointed Secretary.
The Chairman stated that the object of the meet.
ing was the same us that Of the preceding Friday
10 discuss the desirablenesso or otherwise of importing
more coolies into this country from China.
A misapprehcnsion prevailed, that this was an adj.
journed meeting from the previous one, and nm hour
was spent In discussing this point, when
MIR. Uaua Of Waikiki, suggested that business
would be expedited by giving the subject for which
the meeting was called into the hands ola committee,
with instructions to prepare resolutions thereon.
After further desultory debate, it was voted to adopt
Mr.. Uaua's suggestion, and the following committee
was appointed by the Chair: Messrs. Kalaaukaue,
Mahoe and Lyons.
After an absence Of q few minutes, the committee
returned and reported the following:

Col. Kaiakaua made q long and somewhat ram
bling speech. in which he spoke Of the merits and

crimes had been punished, but though. on the whole,
they were not any worse than other people
j. JMoanauli moved that the resolution be amended
by asserting the disapprObation Of this meeting to the
bringing here Of any cannibals- Laughter and
confusion-1
C. n. Judd was in favor Of discussing the point
raised by the last speaker. Favored the introduction
of coolies to supply the need for more labor.
Afer a good deal more spe~ech-making and confu-
sion, the meeting refused to adopt Moanauli's
amendment

Mr. EDIToR-At the several meetings relative to q
supply of labor there has been one stereotyped de-
~laration L" that capital and labor 90 hand in hand''--
a dependency, one upon the other. With political
economists this is an axiom, and has been the basis
of success when and wherever capital has been in
vested. But, does not our knowledge of planters and
sugar plantations on these islands, show An exception
to this long and time-honored truism? What are the
facts of the case? A person with an insufficient
amount of capital (but with much sugar ON the BRAIN
invests his total in business the almost spontaneous
growth of cane, the immense yield to the acre, with
the capabiEty Of grinding every month in the year,
together with war prices for sugar, presents every
phase of the business As if reflected from Aladdin's
lamp. He finds that much and continued capital is
necessary to keep the business going money &C., is
to be supplied at interest ; commissions and charges
that in other countries would be called usurious. His
prudence is alarmed he looks around to see wherein
he can Offset this continued outlay. He knows the
average annual yield of his fields, and can calculate
by average sales in San Francisco his probable re-
turns ; he sees that Notwithstanding the great yield
and war prices, the canker is eating up his capital !;
how and when can he retrench? He sees it..

Jefferson Davis in Paris

The Paris lie Gouzois says: Jefferson
Davis, Ex-President of the Confederate
States of America, is in Paris with his wife,
whose heroism has been equal to her hard
fate. He has come here to find a retreat for
his children, who have been left temporali-
ly in England.
There is nothing more simple than this man.
tempered like our fathers of '93, and who
like them suddenly hurled over the Southern
States as many armies as the French repub-
lie, at its birth, opposed to all Europe in
coalition.
After describing Mr.. Davis personal APP
pearance, LIE Gaulois adds:
He is slow in expressing himself in our
language, into which he is continually intro
ducing phrases in his native idiom He is
sparing of gesture as well as of rccrimina-
tons. But in his mother tongue he employs
terms Of expression as neat as they are con-
else
Here Jefferson Davis enjoys literally the
exhibition which Paris offers, which he finds
very beautiful and which he follows up I'M
weariedly all day long. AS to what con-
Germs material life, he is Indifferent to his
diet, breakfasting on bread and butter and
tea. and dining off two dishes, In moral
point of view, his courage, his views, his
uprightness, his exquisite probity, the ex-
ample he has given of self-devotion and all
kinds Of self abnegation his faith in the
principles for which he has sacrificed every
thing and suffered everything his apostolic
calm and martyr-ike pity of his enemies;
his resignation, his serenity-all have made
of Jefferson Davis an exceptional man, and
so elevated that in the midst of our petty CIV
ilization be cannot be approached without
great respect
Mr.. Jefferson Davis dined on New Years
day with his former representative at Paris,
Mr.. Slidell. The dinner was entirely pri-
vate. Mrs. Jefferson Davis, being in mourn
ing for her mother, was not present.

THE S1AMEsE Twins AND THE PnoposED
SEPARATION An English paper says: "The
object which Chang and Eng. otherwise
known as the Siamsc Twins, had in view
in visiting Edinburgh was to obtain the ad-
vice of Professor Syme as to the ACCESSIBILITY
Of scvcring the inter-conlm unieating band
by which they have been so long held to-
gcther. Last week Chang and Eng waited
on Professor Syme at the University for this
purpose. After a careful examination, Pro-
fossor syme was strongly of opinion that such
an operation would prove highly dangerous
to their lives, and accordingly advised that
the operation should not be performed. Sir
James Y. Simpson, Bart, also entcrtains
the same view. and the opinions of the two
learned professors may, We think, be taken,
It's conclusive on this hitherto debated point.
