Tha,cher,. Entertainment.

TO the Editor Of the Pacific Commercial Advertiser &:
SIR Having made an application to the Minister
OF the Interior for another music license, / have been
refused, and on addressing a respectful letter to that
gentleman begging to know the grounds on which
such refusal is based, 1 have received no reply what
ever. Being on my way to England, 1 was per-
suaded by some friends (who knew me in Australia,)
to stay and give the people here a little amusement
10 break the duh monotony Of Honolulu. Of course,
oelng a stranger, L could not expect to reap any
dement, from my first entertainment, but trusted TO
subsequent concerts to repay me. 1 need hardly saw
tnat owing to this refusal to allow me to perform 7
am greatly out of pocket by spending a month here.
The remarks made which have given sucb offence
10 the Government of this great and glorious CONN.,
try are simply as follows:
His Majesty 3 not independent some folks saw
Gnu Munster Harris has it all his way
some think his power is greater than the Kings
His Majesty looks on whilst he pulls the string,
1t Is to be deeply regretted that my vocal efforts
Should have been thus prematurely nipped in the
bud. and the Government on consideration will
blame themselves for having acted so precipitatelv
when they learn that it was my determination ON INV
next entertainment to call public attention to the
prominent virtues of His Majesty's Ministers. In
conclusion 1 do not consider that I have been treated
right, and must designate the action of the Govern
ment as an act OF petty tyranny, unworthy of a free
ana enhgnIened country which supports a Minister
OF War and a powerful Navy. Fancy a Government
being scared by the harmless jokes of n Door travel
ing Snowman. Further comment would he sinner
fuous. remain, sir,
Your obedient servant,
CHARLES r. THATCHER.
r. D am not quite certain whether l have
spelt the word Navy correctly. Ought it not to be-
gin with a X?

Liberty of speech.

On Saturday last a singular spectacle was pre-
scented to early risers who visited the Esplanade.
Lying off the steamers wharf, in the harbor, was
the North German ship Solo, which brought the
so-calIed free immigrants from China, her decks
in charge of Hawaiian soldiers, while on the
wharf were policemen, whose business it was to
prevent communication with the vessel. We saw
Chinese driven from the dock because they essayed
to converse with their eountrymen on board, and
rudely told to stop talking. demonstrating, we
were told that the authorities here, the Board of
immigration, had given orders not to allow COM
munication, for fear that the coolies would not
sign the contracts which had been prepared or
were in process of preparation. 1t is time that
The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1856-1888, 1870-08-13
ridiculous.

By reference to Mr.. 1hatcher's letter it will b
seen that he has been refused a license to civ,
another concert. He has characterized it rightly
when he calls it an act of petty tyranny. The
advisers or perpetrators of this action seem to
have an idea that they can force people to respect
them they will find that it is no easier than it
will be to legislate upon and fix the price of COM
modities.
When it was rumorcd that the license would be
refused we did not suppose that the most trucu-
lent adherent of the government could or would
believe that the authorities would descend TO take
30 mean an advantage of the authority they pos
sess, and treat a stranger in such a contemplate
manner.
AS citizens we are heartily ashamed that this
disgrace should and must rest upon the commu-
nifty. We wash our hands of it.

What MASSACHUSETTS Thinks.

In the House of Representatives of Massachu-
sets two attempts were lately made to pass a law
characterizing Chinese labor of any and all kinds
as " servile labor the introduction of which
into the State should be prohibited. The Legis-
lature expressed the sentiment of the people, by
a decisive vote, that those who choose to employ
Chinese labnrers, shall be allowed to do so. The
following report of what took place is from the
Boston Advertiser:
A second attempt was made in the House yester-
day to induce the Legislature TO commit itself against
the policy of introducing Chinese labor in our man
ufactories. The House refused to entertain the very
remarkable and adroit bill drawn up for this pur-
pose, by a vote of 70 10 122. There was deception
in the title of the bill, and a want of candor in the
bill itself. 1t is not &c serviIe labor - that the North
Adams factory is introducing, but free labor on
terms that are entirely satisfactory on both sides.
In the bill itself there is nothing to show that it is
not a DILL of a general character to apply to all
foreign labor, but in reality it applies, and could
apply, only to the Chinese shoemakers. The pre-
vailing sentiment seems to be that the experiment of
Chinese labor must be tried, and that no association
can step in to prevent by forcible means the trial
being made fairly.

interested in California, New London and Homo

under the lead of Gen. Miller, formerly Collector
of Customs in San Francisco, to carry on the
seal trade, though it is not yet certain that this
company will secure the contract. 1t is supposed
that the annual profits will be equal to the
