with that way of doing busi~
ness. Neither were we, but lei
us see whose fault it was. We
have said the Portsmouth con.
vention wss rotten from begin.
ming to end, and let US see how
our word holds good in this
case. On the goth day of July
the following appeared in the
Jackson Standard:
SENATORIAL AND JUDICIAL CONVENTIONS.
at had been suggested that these con-
yentions be held at Portsmouth on the
Sd of August, and all the counties con-
sented except Lawrence. 1t is now
perhaps too late to hold the conven,
ton on that day, but any subsequent
day that may be agreed upon will be
satisfactory to Jackson county,"
In consequence of this notice
it was presumed by the Central
Committee of this county that
no convention would be called
without further consultation
with the counties, and no meet,
ing was called here TO select
delegates. On the 9th of Ju.
ly MIR. Mackley wrote our com.
mittee that it had been deter
mined 10 hold the convention
on the 81 of August. 1t was
too late on the Goth Of July,
but the jackson county mana J..
gers were beginning to hear
from their own people and
Judge Plyley had been en-.
dorscd by the members of The
Bar in NntOn and Law. ence
without regard TO party, Mr..
Harper was all that prevented
similar action by the Sciu'U
Bar; the Pike county Bar, ex
cept Mr.. Cole, iimse!l i canii
date for rhc office, was a unit
ior Judge Plyley--and 1T was
suddenly discovered that the
9th was ample time. Our
committee replied that our
county was not ready and could
not be ready by the 81 or Au,
gust. The return mail July 30th
brought the fiat Of the Jackson
county ring-for the other
counties had not been con-
suited, but only netifed, as
we were the convention would
be held on the Sd OF August
whether Flnton county was
ready or not. Thereupon a
meeting was called for the 1st
Of august to select delegates.
There was no chance to get a
notice in either county paper,
but as much publicity was Civ.
EN- to it as possible under the
circumstances, and it was more
largely attended than the con.
vention TO select delegates to
the Senatorial Convention, of
which due notice was given bya
weeks previous publication in
the Record, or the meeting last
Saturday of which four weeks
notice was given by publica
tion i'll the Record and by post
ers. But here comes Davis
Mackley, who, backed by the
Jackson ring, forced this con>
vention upon us at days no
tice, and then taunts US because
We did net have every man in
the county notified. We did
the best we could under the
circumstances, and we guess
even Davis Mackley is now
thoroughly convinced that the
more of our people there had
been there, the more enthusi
astic the meeting would have
been for Plyley.
But the Jackson ring had no
right to force this convention
over the declaration of our Cen.
trail Committee that our county
could not be ready; this is an.
other one of the rotten places
of this so>called convention;
touch it where you Will you find
corruption; the deeper you dig
into it the greater the stencil.

Supreme Court.

The full Bench has rendered a final judgment
IN the Cornwell road case. \ sketch Of the
proceedings, which extended over a period of
several years, and in which several important
points Of law were raised, may not be unin-
teresting.
In 1867 a public road was laid out by the
authorities of Maui, from Waikapu Church to
the Waikiki road passing over lands owned by
several persons. all Of whom gave their consent
to this use Of their property, with the exception
Of one Nowline This man lived at a distance,
but had an agent Humphreys, who lived in the
vicinity. At that time the lands were waste and
uuuclosed. They afterwards passed into the
hands Of those who introduced the sugar culture,
and inclosed them with stone or wire fences.
The deeds Of conveyance made no mention of
this road, aud its public use became somewhat
irregular for want of repairs. Finally, in 1863
the road was closed by Mr.. Cornwell, who erected
q wire fence across the end where it entered the
Wailuku road. The Minister of the Interior
thereupon ordered the Deputy-Sheriff of Maui to
remove this obstruction, but the counsel Of Mr..
CornweH obtained from the Chancellor tempo
rary injunction forbidding the Deputy-SheriF to
interfere. The next step was a complaint for
public nuisance brought against Mr.. Cornwell
before the District Magistrate, who found him
guilty of the charge. On appeal to the Circuit
Court at Lahaina, this judgment was affirmed.
Several exceptions we're taken to the Supreme
Court, in which the following we're the main
points The jury panel had not been drawn in
Honolulu at the time the law directs and on
challenge to the array had been quashed tales
men being called to try the cause A new trial
was ordered on the ground that the ta!esmen
we're irregalarly called, the panel being deemed
legal one. The next trial, at the December term
Of 1869, brought the same result, of verdict
against the defendant and judgment of s25 and
costs was pronounced. Exceptions to the Su-
preme Court were again taken, this time on the
grounds that the panel was not drawn in Homo
lulu from the list furnished by the Governor and
Circait Judge Of Maui in September, as the law
directs, but from a subsequent list and that there
vas not legal and sufficient evidence that Now
line dedicated his land for the highway. The
counsel for the defendant claiming hearing by
the full Court, the argument was deferred until
the last January term, when the case was argued
and submitted. The Court has over-rued the
exceptions and affirmed the previous judgment
Since this judgment was rendered, the injunction
referred to has been dissolved. Messrs. Stanley
and Jones we're the defendants counsel.

doubt such people may be found in this country.
But, we never suspected until reading comma
nication in the AdrerfiSs7 of last Saturday, that
such inhuman brutality was confined here, to one
nationality. We had before thought that there
we're among the natives Of all countries, merciful
men who take care Of the health and comfort Of
their domestic animals, as well as those Of all na
tionalties who from neglect or avarice will let
them suffer and starve We therefore wondered
that any man could be found who would delber-
ately accuse the people OF one nationality as
whole Of practIclng deliberate cruelty to animals,
and still more that any newspaper could be found
to give publicity to such general charge. If a
Portuguese in Manoa Valley has been guilty Of
the criminal cruelty to animals, charged by the
correspondent of the Adrertiser, hold him up to
public execrauou, and punish him il you can, but
do not attempt to bring disgrace upon his coun-
trymen for the misdeeds Of one man. For our
part, We know very many very respectable people
Of that nation, both engaged in stock raising
and in other pursuits, whose horses and cattle for
apparent good condition show humanity and
careful treatment equal to that of any other people.

MAkAwAo, MAUI, March Is, 1871.
Editor of Hq,caiiar Gazette

1 Editor Of HalCaiidz Gazette,
/ DEAR SIR In your paper of January 18th of
the present year, read your article on Horse
feed" and noticed your allusion to Makawao as a
locality where every body knows that excellent
wheat and oats have been raised = and you add,
nothing but the apathy and want of enterprise
OF the people prevent our getting full supply of
cheap and good food for animals from that locaii-
ty, and that too to the profit of the agricultural
ist." While l sympathse with you all at. Hon
olulu in your trials arising from the difficulty Of
obtaining suitable feed for your horses and while
| mourn on account Of the apathy and waut of
enterprise Of too many Of our people, which not
only deprive you OF oats, but deprive themselves
of what you would gladly give them in exchange
for cereals Of all kinds to wit, far compensa-
ton in money; ! have something to say in be-
half of the people both natives and foreigners
who reside at Makawao, and who have been en-
gagged many years in cultivating the soil. For
several years wheat growing occupied the atten-
ton of all classes the hope being cherished that
an excellent article of -four might be furnished
for common use, and wheat meal, fresh and saw
DRY, for the comfort Of invalids. Did | know
who introduced wheat into the Islands, l would
publicly thank him for his good will to the in
habitaDts Of the group. l suppose a single hand
full from the pocket Of some visitor at Lahaina
was given to Mr. Richards, with the suggestion
that something might come Of it. He gave it to
native belonging to K lula, bidding him plant it
as he would az handful Of corn and IN due time it
would produce its like. ! do not think that Mr..
Richards or any one else heard of the Kua
wheat for several years. In the mean time | re-
moved to Hilo where / laboFed about year and
half, when came to Maui, where have since
resided. While at Wailuku, native from Kula
brought me small bingham box nearly full Of
beautiful wheat, Offering it for sale. l made
many inquiries Of him concerning the grain,
whether he raised it. where he obtained the seed,
whether he bad more Ike it, and what use he
made Of it. Sc long a time has interviewed since
this happened that cannot recall his replies to
my questions. l told him the use we made Of
wheat, and assured him that he would do well 10
return 70 Kula and plant more Of his seed. To
encourage him to do so, purchased what he had
brought This believe is the origin of wheat
growing 10 Kula, One and another went into
the business on very small scale, certainly, but
| soon obtained enough for family use. On tax
ing up my residence at Makawao as a self-sup-
porting missionary, the people Of Kala agreed to
furnish ne with wheat. At this time there
was no means Of harvesting the grain, nor
threshing. nor cleaning it, not even sickle
nor fan. At first they used case knife for cut
ting rough lava stone on WHICH they rubbed out
the grain for treshfng machine, and the breath Of

Fiendish Cruelty to Animals.

There Is nothing which should so much lower
q man IN the estimation of bis fellows, as DELHI
crate cruelty TO animals. We see frequently,
persons who either from false motives Of economy,
or from other motives if anything more worthy
Of condemnation, using animals whose meagre ap-
pearauce and evidently half starved condition
should bring shame to the cheek of their owners
When merciful man seesauother driving horse
or OK whose condition is thus miserable, be can
hardly refrain from the reflection that such per-
son Is unworthy the ownership of the poor brute
which be Is willing to use to the full extent ofts
little strength but is too mean to feed it sufficient
to make its existence anything bat miserable. So
the wretch who to make money ont Of the pro-
duce or labor Of the parent animal, viii deprive
the young Of the sustenance which nature pro-
vidss for it, deserves public condemnation and all
the punishment which the violated law can infict
upon him. Public opinion is rightly outraged
against such creatures, and We have never known
one who has so offended to have even the indiFid-
ual sympathy of any one. Most men abhor aud
condemn such treatment Of the brute creation,
only less than they do similar treatment Of their
fellows
Notwithstanding this, there are many. instiga-
ted by cupidity. natural brutality, from inseusi
biEty to the welfare of their domestic animals,
who treat them in a manner which is shameful, in
many instances consigning item to miserable
death from famine and thirst, and We have no

HYENAs OF TEE BATTLE FIELD.-Capt. Furst-
enburg, of the Teeth Hussars, had been wounded
in the battle of Cravelotte, and passed the night
of the 26th to The 29th on the battlefield. Re
covering consciousness, after a fainting fit, at
dawn, he Observed some figures busying them
selves about. One of them approaching him, he
noticed quite phiny the sign Of the knights of
st. John on his armlet. He was about calling
out to the man br aid, when his voice failed him
at the view presented to his eye. The man with
the St. Johns cross called the three other figures
to a group of wounded and dead.
Quite close to me- the deponent states, " l
plainly recognized man in the garb of a field
priest and two Knights of the Order of st. John.
When these men arrived at the group they COM
menced cutting open the uniform of each at the
breast with knives and scissors; whoever moved
was choked at once by their hands if nothing
was found about their breasts, they examined
pockets and hands, each ring on the hands being
cut off with the finger These hyenas then APP

We were considerably amused at the
leader of the AdcetiSer of last week,
wherein the Editor put on an air of 81 in
jured innocence" which was quite pitiful
to behold. We are quite grieved to think
that we should have injured his feelings
to the extent we seem to have done by
the mere intimation that his ridiculous
article on'wood 3. seemed" to be written by
some one connected with the lumber
trade, and though we could not think it
was really the case, at least those engaged
in that trade should remunerate him for
his efforts in their behalf We never
pointed out whom we supposed to be the
author of the article in question Indeed,
if we had, we should certainly have
pointed to the Editor himself although,
if pressed for a further opinion on the
subject, we should most certainly have
said that our opinion of the Editors good
sense would not permit us TO believe that
be had any very deep conviction or feel
ing for the side of the discussion which
he had taken up; but had rather taken
the course which he had for the sake OF
the argument, or for opposition-a course
for which that paper has been so long
celebrated, that it appears the present
management have been thus far unable
to get out of the track. 1t is to be hoped
that in time they viii be able to leave
the old groove, in order that the gen
crafty Of people may have more conf
dence that what they advocate is really
what they feel to be for the public good.
Another thing We do not pretend to be
critics. We can not begin to tell who
writes every article which appears in the
papers, neither have we the presump-
ton to pretend that we can. This, no
doubt, saves Us from becoming the laugh
ing stock Of those who DO know all about
it, and also saves US great deal of
trouble in the way of attending to other
peoples business.

their mouth. for flei, farming mill In this way
the people of Kula furnished me nth some ten
bushels Of wheat annually during sveral years. l
had procured for their use seyera sickles, and
sent for, and obtained from the United States, a
small threshing machine and a faning-mili, We
then felt strong. All who ha purchased lands
filed them with wheat. foreigners went into
the business hired lands of Government; and all
engaged IN the one great wsk OF blowing, and
sowing the precious seed. 9th men and women
took hold of the work with will, the men per-
forming the blowing and Swing. the women cut
ting and binding the grail when ripe. A striking
change was soon visible from one end of our field
to the other. When our fdds were ripening for
the harvest, one was amply repaid for the fatigue
of climbing Piiholo, hill sdne six hundred feet
in height just en- the borderof Makawao, whence
he could see the greater part of Kula, its fields
clad in golden wheat waving to the winds aud
promising generous harvst as the reward OF
industry. And when year fter year the harvest
was gathered in, and the fruit of toll sent down
to Kahului to be shipped &C the metropolis, at
one time 10000 bushels At mother, 10000; and
at another still, belie'e as many as 10000
bushels for the year, to b. converted into -four

couraging him andothers to hold on to the work
of raising the precous gnin and filling the land

handful of corn il the earth upon the top of the

"shall shake like Leb,non." By anticipation, the
time seemed not vey far distant when the ne
cessity of importing -four into the Islands would
be superseded by tie home manufacture eff a bet
ter article than cold be obtained from abroad.
But we have oil sigually failed am sorry to say,
of realizing the fu6ment of our hopes and an
ticipations. A few bushels were raised in 1869.

cellent quality but this, so far far as | can see
