Death of l.. Torberr, Esq

IT ia seldom that we are called upon to record a
death in this community, which might so appropri-
ately be termed a public loss, as that Of Linton L.
Torbert. which occurred at his residence in this city
on Thursday afternoon last. Cut down when he had
lust reached the prime of life, full of vigor and en-
ergy. with fattering promises of future usefulness
and success in the battle of life, surrounded by q
bapnv family and troops of friends,-his death
indeed creates a void in the community. He had
resided on the islands some twenty-six years, a large
portion of the time on Maui, where he was one of the
pioneers in the business of sugar planting, and was
noted for his enterprise and industry. He was at one
time owner of the land which now constitutes the
Makee plantation. then a cattle ranch, upon which
he erected no less than sixteen miles of stone wall,
much of which can be seen to this day. In the va
rious enterprises in which he has since engaged, Mr..
Torbert has displayed the same characteristics of
indomitable energy, and has invariably borne a high
character for probity and moral principle. He was
about IS years of age at the time of his decease, and
was a native of Newtown, Bucks County, Pa.
Yesterday, the flags on the shipping and generally
throughout the city were displayed at halfmast in
respect to his memory. The funeral, which took
place yesterday afternoon, was very numerously
attended by the residents, on foot and in carriages.
Mr.. Torbert was a member in high standing of the
Order of Free Masons, which body took charge of
the funeral ceremonies. The procession was as fol-
lows: First the Order of Good Templars (Mr.
Torbert was an active member of Ultima Thule
Lodge, No. y the Blue Lodges of Masons Honolulu
Royal Arch Masons the Commandery of Knights
Templar the Hearse Mourners and citizens gener-
ally in carriages. At the grave the beautiful and
impressive service of Masonic KnighthoOd was read
by Prelate A. Mcintosh, and the last sad tribute of
respect having been thus ~dutifully paid, the clods of
the valley closed over all that was mortal of our true
friend and brother.

Arrival of the "City of Adelaide"
Ten Days Later.

By the arrival on Wednesday last of the City Of
adelaide, of the C. N. T., and Australian steamship
Line, we have ten days later dates from San Fran
cisco, including telegraphic dates from London and
49, York to August Z. The news is interesting
i9hot of great importance. We compile our us
1lpf1Il summary.
PARIS. July 2s.-The rumor that Bismarck has
consented to the evacuation of the environs Of
Paris, on the first of August, is pronounced foun-
dationless. The Germans will not be Withdrawn
from the vicinity of Paris until 6ften hundred mill
ions francs of indemnity are paid. and it will be
impossible for the French Government TO pay the
amount as early as the 6rst Of August.
Three hundred Deputies are pledged to the pro-
longation of Theirs power as Chief Executive.
The Sdlld. which supports Theirs, says his sole am
bition is to become the Washington Of France.
PARIS, July ga special despatch says the
Government has given the fullest assent to the
scheme for the emigration of the Communist pris-
oners to Arizona. 1t divides the prisoners into
three classes First, the violent prisoners and those
guilty OF crime. who are sentenced to hard labor
for life second, dangerous persons, who are TO be
sent to a penal colony and third. a general am
nesty is granted on condition of their voluntary
emigration. The last are permitted to 20 to Ari-
iona. the Government giving them transportation,
agricultural and mining tools, tents, arms and SUBJ
sistence for six months.
The restoration of the fortiacation of Paris Is GO
ing on at a rapid rate.

b "DN
y The native who was accidentally shot at La
haina, died yesterday. The ball had Aattened against
his ~jaw-bone- His death was supposed to have been
hurried by an encounter amounting 20 an assault, by
another native, who was fined therefor $50. A
coroner's inquest was sitting on the case when the
steamer left. -
DELAY OF THE MAILs.-0n the arrival of the City
Of -4deIdide on Wednesday. but one bag of mail mat
ter was sent on shore at first, and it was stated that
there was no more on board. About two hours later
however, several more bags of mail were sent to the
office, having been discovered on board. 1t was stat
ed that the fault lay with the Post Office officials at
San Francisco, they having asked for o receipt for
but one bag. This may be so, but it appears singular
however, that the mail agent on board the steamer
should not have discovered, during the eight days
passage to this port the presence of more than one
bag for Honolulu among the mail matter in his charge.
As it was, the delay in delivering letters, SC. caused
some inconvenience, and loud complaints were heard
at the supposed refusal or neglect of the San Fran
cisco Post Master to send our mails by this particular
ship. -
THE STORM ON HAwAII.-The late gale was re-
ported to have been very destructive in Kohala.
About 100 houses are said to be blown down or dam
aged, among the rest, the engine and other houses
at the Kohala plantation. 1t was severely felt in
Waipio and Hamakua. A private letter from Waipio,
dated the 10th, says:
We have had an awful time here last week. On
Wednesday morning, about Z or 8 O'Clock it COM
menced to blow and it lasted for about an hour and
a halt, blowing right down the valley. There are %
houses blown clean away and as many more partially
destroyed. Stiles new house was blown down and
all split up the only damage / received was my
fences being blown down and the cook house cap
sized. There is hardly a tree or bush of any kind
standing in the valley. 1t has put a complete stop
to all business here for the present"

DEPUTY CLERK SUPREME CoURT.-We note that
Mr.. ]. E. Barnard has been appointed by the Justices
to the office of Deputy Clerk of the Supreme Court.
Mr.. Barnard, it will be remembered, held the Office
of Chief Clerk for a long period, previous to his go
ing to the Colonies to reside several years ago. He
was deservedly popular in that position, with the
bench, the bar and the public, and his business quail
ifcations, knowledge of routine, and we may add,
his gentlemanly manners, make him a valuable &C
QUESTION to the staff of the Court House.

SAD ACCIDENT AT HILo.-We are panied to hear
from Hilo of the death by drowning of an infant son
of r. A. Lyman, Esq. ON the 9Th mist. The child it
appears was left alone for a short time. when it
strayed into the bath-house. where it was found in
the tub quite dead. 1t is supposed that the child in
playing about the tub, lost its balance, and fell in.
1t was about two years old.

New GRoCERIs.-We beg to call attention to the
advertisement of q new and extensive assortment OF
groceries soon to arrive to Mr.. Henry May, Fort
street. Among them it will be noticed are some
very choice articles of French goods imported via
England. This description of family luxuries have
been until recently beyond the reach of the importer
owing to the late war having interrupted commerce
and trade. -
The LUNALILo.-The ketch Lunalilo, Capt. Henry
English. which was dispatched by the Government
In May last to return some sixty laborers to their
homes on the southern islands, returned on Tuesday
last, having been absent SO days. She was unsuc-
cessful in obtaining any of the islanders to return, on
account. as we are informed of the opposition of the
chiefs to the emigration of their people The dissat-
isfaction expressed by some of them when they left
here, may have something to do with this opposition.
FIREMAN's FUNERAL The Fire Department turned
out on Monday last to attend the funeral of the late
John z. Booth. The deceased was also a member of
the Order of Good Templars, the Lodges of which
marched in the procession. We have heard severe
comments on the insulting manner in which the Tenn
perance organizations were treated by the officer of
the Fire Department having the funeral in charge,
and have received communications on the subject,
but defer their publication for the present.

The Ohio Senatorial contest IS not
likely, it seems, to be decided, SO far as
Republicans are concerned, by the an
nouncement that Mr.. Delano will not
be a candidate against Mr.. Sherman.
A correspondent Of the Cincinnati Conn.,
mercial gives currency to rumor that
a scheme is on foot to defeat Mr.. Sher'
mans aspirations for reelection ii Is
said to lie based upon the theory that
the next Legislature Gas was the iast')
will be very evenly divided between the
parties, and also upon the assumption
that enough Republicans Of nerve and
loose rarty ties can be found among
the members to prevent the election OF
anv one unless it be such a man as
thew are willing to name. In other
words, they will present man TO the
Republican caucus, and announce their
ultimatum to be his election, or the
alternative OF a coalition with the
Democratic caucus and the election OF
a Conservative Republican or Liberal
Democrat. such, for instance, as Gov
ernor Cox or Judge Grocsbeck. The
successful accomplishment of this plot
vet in embryo, it is expected will create
a stir in political circles Throughout,
the State and country such as has not
been seen these many years.

thereby to divert the attention OF the
people from the stupendous Radical
thefts, we commend the following clip

of an Independent Republican journal,

1t ought to be noted now that the
movement to get rid of the Ring has
now passed, or is rapidly passing, out
of the Republican into Democratic
hands. Thus, Judge Barnard, who

ex-Mayor Havemeyer, Chairman OF the
Committee of Seventy, is Democrat;
Andrew H. Green. the Deputy Comp

Roosevelt is a Democrat; Chas. OCon
nor is Democrat, and, finally, the man
most active behind the curtain In hav
ing the Ring elected from power, is Mr.
Samuel L. Tslden, Chairman of the Dem
ocratic State Committee.
There is a deep significance in these
facts if the matter is contemplated iron
a party or political standpoint. Mr.

The Hon. ALEXANDER II. STEPHENS,
of Georgia, whom the Radical press
have been patting on the back for some
time, disappointed them at last He
has found in the platform Of the Cali,
fornia Democracy a phraseology about
the amendments that suits him exactly.
He thinks the Californians Intend only
10 declare tie three amend meats are a
settlement, in fact, of all the Issues Of the
,ear, etc. and not to aver that they have
been adopted, according to law, or that
they were, in themselves, either just or
right" Of this Mr.. STEPHENS says, in
his newspaper:
This is our position, eractly. This we
believe to be the position of ninety-nine
out Of every hundred Of the honest
masses of he Democracy, in every State of

twill thus be seen that there is now
a phraseology to suit everybody. We
can only add the reflection
"Strange such difference should be
