Another of the proposed new rules prohibits
! smoking during the sessions-a very proper moVe'
for it certainly is anything but dignited Tor
I Mobiles and Representatives TO be seen, during the
deliberation of matters of serious Importance,
putting away at their pipes or cigars.
On Wednesday a rather amusing debate occur
red on n resolution introduced by the member Tor
Waimea, Kauai, (who by the way, In a sort OF
p~oetical justice, from being the servant OF an ex-
member, has become q member himself) the
resolution being to the effect that the sum OF
1880 be appropriated for the pressing necessities
of members. Poi. he said, was fifty cents a Gala
bash. and Of poor quality at that, 50 that half a
dollars worth would hardly suffice for two meals.
The resolution was strongly opposed by the MEM
Der for Hanalei, and after a very spicy debate, 1T
was ordered To be e1puRged from the record, and
to cap the climax, q motion was made that the
reporters Of the press should be Instructed not to
make any mention of the matter. The member
for Hanalei said he thought it should be reported
fully, in order that the people of Waimea should
see what kind Of e man they had to represent
them.
The choice of Mr.. Hitchcock as Vice President
over Mr.. Boyd may be taken as the first impor-
tant vote of the session between the popular and
the ministerial sides of the House. Mr.. Il. was
understood to be the nominee of the latter, while
Mr.. ii. was the candidate of the representatives.
The presiding officer has it in his power so often
70 favor or slight the claims of representatives,
that the Office should be filled with one possessed
of tried impartiality, and in full sympathy with
the popular side.
The Assembly appears to have had some diff
Guilty in getting an Interpreter. The first ballot
resulted in the election Of one gentleman, who
however declined to perform the duty of translat-
ing as well as interpreting. Thereupon the
Assembly voted that he should have five dollars
per diem, instead of ten, and the gentleman sent
in his resignation. After several Intellectual bal
lotings, and considerable debate on a proposition
from the ministerial side, that members themselves
do the interpreting for each other,-the Assembly
Yesterday elected Mr.. W. S. Wond as Interpreter,
by n vote Of 81 to 9. The duties are very arduous,
and a good interpreter of the two languages we'll
earns his salary.
The usual bundle of petitions, on all manner of
repeal Of horse and dog taxes to
large appropriations for internal improvements,
are each morning read and referred.
The session, from present appearances, is likely
to be a lengthy one, and when the subject of the
repeal of the 80 Master and Servants " law comes
will doubtless be q stormy one.

From Japan and CHINA.

The China mail steamer America arrived at
San Francisco on the 18th of April, % days
from japan. By her we hear of the arrival of
the Hawaiian bark r. w. Wood, both at Yoko-
hama and Hongkong. at the latter port, Mr..
Wilder, the Hawaiian Commissioner to obtain
coolies, was informed that by order of the British
Government, no Chinese coolies could hereafter
be shipped from that port, except to British
Colonies; but that Chinese free emigrants would
be allowed to leave. The Hawaiian Commissioner
had, it is stated, decided to proceed to Annoy, a
port a few hundred miles north of Hongkong, to
endeavor to obtain them there.
This order Of the British Government is prob
ably one result of the Burlingame treaty, which
forbids the expectation from China of any bonded
labOrers or coolies. The American treaty is in

ST.. GEORGES BENEVOLENT SoCIErY-The annual
meeting of st. Georges Benevolent Society was held
on Wednesday evening last. Mr.. W. L. Green, Vice
President in the Chair, Mr.. Wodehouse, H. b. NJ.
Commissioner, being absent on account of illness.
The Treasurer submitted a report by which it appears
that the Society numbers eighty-nine members, and
has been of essential service to many distressed
British persons. Some were supported until their
deaths, and were decently buried at the expense of
the Society. Some were forwarded on their journies
TO other countries whittier they were bound, and
some are still receiving relief-these last consisting
Of three men, one woman, and one family. The
finances of the Society have been SO far sufficient for
its purposes, and it begins its new year with about
six hundred dollars on hand. The officers are

force now, bit whether the British treaty has
been ratified or not, we do not know. Free
emigrants can leave the country, to make engage
ments abroad and this is precisely what is de-
sired here. All the laborers wanted can be had
in this way, the contracts to be made here before
landing, and directly with those who wish to
employ them.
The rice crop in Japan having proved a partial
failure, large importations from China have alone
prevented distress among the laboring people.
The persecution of Christians in Japan on the
part of the Government still continues. \ cor
respondent of the Hiago Neacs has the following:
On good authority, 1 Am informed that the native
Christians-who, to the number of about 10000,
were recently torn from their homes, mostly from
the neighborhood of Nagasaki, in spite of the most
strenuous protests upon the part Of the foreign rep
resentatives-have been thus disposed of: To every
Daimio has been allotted a certain number Of these
poor creatures, in the proportion of fifty for each
10000 kokus of his annual revenue, and that the
whole of the captives have been thus distributed.
This, If true, is equivalent to treating them as SO
many slaves.

DEATH OF Hon. JOHN H.-Another of the noblest
and best among the Hawaiians who have become
identified with the civilization and advancement of
this nation, died on Monday last. Mr.. Ii was for
many years a judge of the Supreme Court. and at the
time Of his death was 3 Priyy Councillor and MEM
Der Of the House Of Mobiles. For more than forty
years he was identified with the Missionary cause,
having been a devoted and sincere Christian, and
always boldly advocating morality and Christianity
among all with whom he came in contact. la politics
his views inclined more to republican institutions
than to monarchical, and the open expression of them
at the time of the abrogatiOn of the Constitution Of
1852, brought him in i'll favor with those in power.
Like his companion and lifelong friend, the late
Governor Kekuanaoa, he was q man of more than Or
binary mind and ability, and both will be long re-
membered among the best of their race. The funeral
of Mr.. Ii will take place tomorrow, a 3 p. NJ. at ka-
waiahao Church, a. per notice in another column.

A SINGULAR DEc1s1oS.-Last Wednesday, in the

A SINGULAR DEcIsIoS.-Last Wednesday, in the
Police Court, a complaint was brought against a
native for malicious injury, in cutting down an
algerOba tree, on premises in town leased by Bolster
and Dickson Il appeared that the native had
formerly lived ON the lot, and some five or six years
ago TAINTED the tree in question, which, now that
80 possession Of the lot has passed Il to other parties,
he assumes the right to destroy. As 8 general
thing, We do not comment upon judicial decisions,
but the principle held in this case, that the man was
justified in cutting down the tree-the sole beauty of
the premises-simply because ne planted il, on land
1Ot his own, and apparently because foreigners had
lotained the premises, strikes Us as q very unteuabIe
