HORRIBLE sTEscH.-The shooting OF dogs
In the public streets at this season Of the
year has Its dark side as well as bright.
About O'Clock yesterday afternoon, those
tween Sixth and Seventh, were loud In con-
domination OF the state Of the atmosphere In
that particular locality, occasioned by the
stencil arising from the purifying body of a
full-sized black dog that had been shot by
the police early on the morning OF the
previous day. To remedy this evil, and give
no cause of complaint, Ii might be a good
plan to have a cart In each precinct to re-
move the carcases Of the dogs as soon as
killed.

The hospital books for the last three

The LONDON Standard says, of Laird's
letter that it is clear charge of negligence
against the Government; but, whatever Eng
lands offence may have been, 1t is outdone a
hundred fold by the wiliul, wanton offences
of the United States against England; and
the settlement of accounts will leave q heavy
balance against the United States. Eng
lands obligations were broken, for the North
as well as the South Americans, who were
equally guilty in breach of international OBJ
legations in the case of the Caroline and the
case Of Feuian drillings and organizations.
The Star thinks that Laird's letter aggra-
Yates the action of the British Government
To prevent all risk from issuing forth, the
Alabama was known as destined to prey on
American commerce. Further obligations
are raised by The fact that the Alabama was
built, pierced with guns aud to accommodate
q war crew. The fact. as reported by the
British Custom-house officers, is also that she
was really intended for war purposes. This
knowledge obviously devolved upon the Gov
eminent the duty Of making the Foreign En-
listment Act 60 as far as possible in the case.
There Is good reason to suspect that the act
would have gone far enough, If hearty effort
bad been made to stretch its provisions hon
esfly.

LErrERs.-There seems to be some unac-
countable misfortune about getting letters
straight here. From New York, st. Shomas
seems to be the place where it is the fate of
Honolulu letters to bring up, where they have
been detained for British postage. sometimes.
But that has been made all straight now-we
mean the payment of the postage-and when
ever any Of our letters get to St. Thomas,
they will be returned to New York immediate
ly, that they may be forwarded to their des-
tinatiOn. Most people would prefer not to
have their letters sent to St. Thomas at all.
