have thus proved their title to enjoy the inesti-
Unable privilege of the right of trial by jury.
The case was up before the Court at the July
term, but was undecided. Mr.. c. &. Harris
then Minister of Finance-was at that time as
latterly, one of the counsel for the defendant,
and argued that, because has client loos Governor,
THEREFORE,, he had a right TO take the fish On
the last trial, he struck out u new and equally
absurd line Of defence, which was that because
John Young and his heirs had been allowed to
keep possession for so many years OF others
property, therefore defendant was right in doing
so too! The man who can insult the understand
ing of even a jury of native Hawaiians by the
use of such shallow and specious talk, deserves
the rebuke of the prompt and righteous verdict
that was given in this case, of $500 against the
defendant.

@"A DEMAGoGUE -" treats the readers of the
official organ to a column Of twaddle. descriptive
of the honorable fraternity of which he is a con-
spicuous member. No one certainly was more
qualified for the task than the writer, who by a
course of demagogueism has attained his present
position in the administration.
He tells us that '. the learned (O and just (O
Judge, = must suffer to see their names
and characters, at such times, coupled with every
thing that is wrong, with bribery and corruption"
Does ne refer to a judge elevated to bis place to
be the creature of a demagogue, or to him who
renders a corrupt decision contrary TO the era-
dence and The lac, to screen and cover up acts
which, if done by one occupying a less humble
station, without the honor of a public position,
would condemn him to the State prison? Let
the 8 { Demagogue - answer, if he dares.
This % Demagogue has the GOODNESS to tell
the public that his fraternity " would not, not
withstanding their boosted loyalty and patriotism,
hesitate to betray their King and country at any
moment when opportunity for SO doing should
offer" This is certainly a bold acknowledgment
coming from the organ of the Hawaiian Ministry,
and shows what demagogues in Office would do, if
they dared to. Still it is gospel truth, and every
one knows that their loyalty is measured solely by
the stipends they receiUe. Deprive them of these,
and their patriotism vanishes.
The article of " Demagogue" will have good
effect. 1t will reveal to the public the thoughts
and plans of those { whitewashed Hawaiian
patriots of whom he is a notable leader. 1t will
warn them that 9 the existing state of affairs " is
liable to be 50 overthrown whenever it may suit
their purposes or their purses. No one doubts
that they believe &c that the sooner the Hawaiian
nation and people lose their independence the
better they will be suited, and the nearer that
which they are aiming at, will be to its accom-
~plishment."
Is it not strange that demagogues avowing
such sentiments are retained in the public service?
If it be necessary that they must be kept" at
the public expense, let them be sent off on first
class missions to Europe or elsewhere. There are
some more treaties unfinished in that quarter, and
beyond the pay they would draw they can do no
harm there. Here they may overthrow the
existing state of AFFAIRS

the Suez Canal, and are on their way to the East.
But no British steamers have yet appeared on the
canal. They are still making connections at
Cairo and Suez by the intervention of the rail-
road, while France and Russia are steaming
through without breaking bulk
The Suez Canal p~erfects the work of which the
Ptolemies, and Alexander, and Caesar, and Napo-
leon dreamed. 1t makes real a water way which
famous engineers have pronounced impracticable,
and which commerce has ardently desired for
many centuries. This canal is the work of a
French engineer, and to F france belongs the credit
of the execution.

We hear complaints made that the names of some
people, who have complied with the requirements OF
the law, are not on the list of voters posted about
the streets. 1t may appear strange to some that
these complaints are made, as a general thing, BIZ
those who are supposed to know that the list OF
qualified voters Is posted about the streets, In &C
cordance with the law, for the purpose of giving
those whose names are omitted by mistake, the OPP
portunity of having the error corrected by the Board
of Inspectors, who will meet for that purpose on the
10Th and oath of this month. With this knowledge
before them, we can not see why inquiries are made
on the subject, except it be from the popularity some
people have of asking foolish questions.
The above we clip from the last issue of the
that many names of persons gualte TO role,
according to iaO, have been purposely omitted
from the register of voters as made out by the
Tax-Assessor and Collector. On inquiry of the
Assessor we find that he Intentionally igi out the
names of such as did not answer his inquiry as
to whether they we're Hawaiians or not.
Now by what authority is such a rule set
up? Why not ask a man if he is a Christian
or an infdel, or whether he supports the policy
of the Administration, or whether he has ever
been convicted of infamous crimes? There is
nothing in the election law which requires the
Assessor to make inquiries of this nature, and he
is supposed when appointed to be capable of OBJ
tanning all his information from other sources
easily accessible. Every person born in the
Kingdom has all the rights of a subject-yoting
among the rest-while the record of every natu-
rallied subject is of easy access in the archives of
the Interior Department.
The Tax-Assessor and Collector are instructed
by law to make out a correct list of the voters in
their district, and the omission OF any name,
,chich they knot0 should be an the hst, furnishes as
clear cause of action for violation of their official
duties, as does the willful entry of the name of
an unqualified voter. To say that the error can
be corrected by the person calling on the Board
of Inspectors, is no excuse. Errors have
been made by the officers of the law, not "by
mistake but purposely, and the correction rests
with them, when their attention has been called
to it.

address Of the Democratic Congressman
10 the People

WARRINGTON, June 24th.-The
Democratic Senators and Representa-
tives in Congress, in caucus, have
agreed upon and signed the following
address
To our Fello,0- Cytizons Of the United
States, Friends Of Constitutional,
Economical and Honest Government.
Theundersignedb beg leave TO call your
attention to the peculiar Importance
of the elections which take place this
year, and beg respectfully to submit
some suggestions for your considera-
ton. BY the state Legislatures to be
elected, nearly one, third of the United
States Senate will be chosen. Nearly
all the members of the next House of
Representatives are to be elected next
fall. Upon the coming elections there
depends the question whether the
Democratic and Conservative element
i'm the Senate shall bc increased and
whether that element shall have a ma
iority in the House OF Representatives,
and IA II consequence whether we shall
have constitutional, economical aud
honest Government, or a continuance
of the revolutionary, extravaganza and
wasteful partisan rule; whether we
shall! have general, uniform, just aud
constitutional legislation with reason
able taxation and frugal expenditures,
or unconstitutional, partial, unjust
class legislation, with oppressive and
unequal taxation, and wasteful eXpen-
dititurc. That we have strong reasons
to hope for favorable result ID plainly
apparent. Elections already held
clearly show that the tide of Reform
has set in with power that cannot be
resisted If no blindcrs be committed
| by the friends of reform. If they do
their duty and act wisoly-if they
throw off all apathy and ctwith vigoI
and stcadastncss-t is every roa-
son TO hope that their efforts Will bC
rewarded by success. Let there be nc
dissensions about minor matters nc
| time lost in the discussion of dead H.
sues no manifestation Of terror OF
proseriptive feeling no sacrifice OF The
cause TO crafty personal ambition OF
resentment, and let the best men Dt
chosen for candidates, and we may
hope to see our country redeemed from
misrule.
And i'm this connection we beg leave
TO saw a word TO our fellow-citizens Of
the Southern States: DO not risk tho
loss of Senators or Representatives by
electing men who cannot take the test
oath, or who are under the disability
4 imposed by the fourteenth amendment
whatever may bo said of the validity o
that amendment or of the test-oath act
YOU may rest assured that Senators
elected by the votes or members OF th'
Legislature, who are held by the Rad
icals 10 be thus disqualified, will no
be permitted to take their seats, ant
that members of the House of Repre-
sentatives thus disqualified will als'
be excluded. IL is the plainest dictate
of practical wisdom not 10 incur any
such risks. We hope soon To see tbs
day when all disabilities will be re
