so safe. These s~quatters put n little hut on II quarter
section, /. e., one hundred and sixty acres OF good
land, and | don't believe there is q quarter section
within a hundred miles of this town, that IS mol
claimed in a grant confirmed by the U. ;. Courts
that is not occupied by one of these shanties. Now
all this land that is I" squatted on p" is claimed by
people under a Mexican grant, which has not been
confirmed by the U. S. Courts as yet. If they are
not confirmed the squatters can pre-empt their
quarter sections, and on paying one dollar and
twenty-five cents per acre, own the land. Thus,
who ever buys land of these squatters, at present. is
likely to buy n law suit. Yet people are paying two
thousand and more dollars tor these squatter claims.
Oh /. the confidence they have in one and another is
surprising. delightfully."- so. 1 cannot advise any
Honoluluans to come here with the intention of buy
ing land cut of town, for the present
think that this is a good place for mechanics
with or without capital. This town is growing rap
idly, and will be an important city in time, no doubt;
but if you like a quiet, easy life, stay in Honolulu,
which is not growing SO very rapidly.

A RenIx from 8. YoIer.,

Mr.. EDITOR The tax collector has come forward
through the columns of the Gazette in defense of his
associates, the Inspectors of Election, assuming the
blame, if any, that attaches to my charge.
The right of suffrage should be dear to every one
and any person who deprives, or seeks to deprive one
such strong terms as So fraud " and g villainy.'' The
tax collector has, l know, in some instances, given
tax receipts to persons who were fully entitled to
vote, without the very essential words g qualified TO
vote - being upon them. 1 will not charge that this
was purposely done ; the mildest construction that
can be put upon it is that it was carelessness, by
which the right to cast Il vote has been lost. ifcare-
lessness was shown in the matter of deprivation Of
the right of ballot is it not possible that through
carelessneSs some one may claim the right to vote
who is not fairly entitled to it? The collector is dis
ingenious when he denies my statement and chal-
lenges me to sustain it by proofs, when he knows
that the only proof as to date of payment of taxes,
the point made by me, is in his own cash book. A
gentleman, whose name you may disclose to the COL
lector, stated, unreservedly, pointing TO his name Oh
the list of qualified voters, " did not pay my taxes
until early in January but | see that | am qualified
as a voter If this gentleman has been guilty Of
falsehood, of course my charge falls through.
/ have little doubt but that the tax collector will
be able to make some explanation and furnish proofs
which will have to be accepted by this community.
Very Respectfully Yours,
Feb. Sd, 1870 VOTER.

ILoss of "MOrninw Star.v

Loss of the "NIOrn1ng star"
We regret to have to announce the loss of the
Missionary packet Morning Star, which occurred
at Strong's Island, on the 18th of October last,
as the vessel was leaving that port for Honolulu.
On getting out TO sea, it fell calm, with a strong
current in shore, which carried the vessel near
the reef. where the captain dropped his anchor.
During the night 4 squall struck the brig, result
ing in driving her on to the reef and making a
total wreck of her. She is believed to have been
fully insured in Boston.
Captain Tengstrom then chartered the British
trading brig Arne Porter, Captain Davie, of
Shanghai, to bring the passengers to Honolulu,
among whom are Rev. j. F. Pogue, Rev. Mr..
Sturges, wife and child and Rev. Mr.. Snow. The
brig has been a days on the passage up, touch
ing at Ebon and Butaritari. The following is
Captain Tengstrom's report of the disaster
The brig Morning Star left the south harbor of strong's
Island, for Honolulu, at 80 on the 18TH Of October, with light
wind off shore. Were towed out with TWO of the briggs boats
and the pilot boat; Az l. N, the pilot and all The shore
some lines which had been left on the reef. AT 8: Is the boat
returned, and was taken on board the brig, which was at this
w. During the evening, which was cloudy and dark, it was
found that the brig had drifted insil0re with a strong current,
still the vessel kept drifting in. Finding that nothing could be
=. NJ. in twenty-five Gsthoms Of water. At j p. Ne, squat
came up from the eastward, which appeared very threatening,
but gave us hope that by slipping the anchor. we might get out
to sea before the force of the squat struck the vessel. Every
thing was made ready for this emergency. As the squan struck
us, the fore and ait sails were hoisted, the chain slipped, and
for a moment the vessel went ahead but the heavy rollers
which came in checked her Roadway, and before she could
gather again, she struck a little aft Of the mainmast, the next
sea lifting her broadside on to the rocks. The current at the
time appeared TO be at least four knots an hour, in the opposite
direction To what il usually runs. At IL p. NJ, the passengers
were sent ashore in ON. of the boats, at great peril. At ll:3O
the foremost was cut away. A heavy wave which mad broken
over the vessel made II complete wreck OF everything o. deck
and in the cabin-stateroOms, doors and furniture being CON-
pletely smashed by its force, and all the clothing, stores, &c,
scattered and destroyed. At 1:30 the boat returned from the
harbor, three miles distant. As every sea washed entrey
over the vessel, nothing could lie done further to save her or
the effects and at 2 4. Nj, the officers and crew went on
shore. They returned at daylight, but found everything so
completely destroyed by the breakers, that nothmg QUO De
saved. 4
