The reports from Salt Lake intimate that the

inevitable course Of events. Brigham Young had
left the city, and when last seen was making his

A CONFERENCE or SPIRIrs.-A ghost story is going
around among the natives, and creates no little SEN
sation. 1t is to the effect that at about 2 o'clock on
last Thursday morning, a policeman stationed ia the
neighborhood Of Kawaiahao Church, heard noises
inside the building, and thinking to bag some law
breakers, approached and listened. He declares
that he heard what appeared TO be n conclaye Of
departed spirits of the chiefs, debating upon the
affairs of the nation, and distinguished plainly
among the voices that of a late prominent member
Of the House of Mobiles.
THE MINERs.--The imported birds (from India,
we believe) known as Miners, are Increasing rapidly,
and are developing a character for pugnaoity and
vandalism that begins to make them unpopular. 1t
is charged that they are ~inveterate enemies to pigeons
and doves, breaking their eggs and coolly appropri-
atiDg their nests. On the ledge of the Court House.
a pair Of Miners have a squatted " on the " claim -
of a lot of pigeons who haye for years ~pre-empted
the spot, and, occupying the nest built already, are

poor pigeons stand about, with detected looks.

COMPROMISING A FELoEY.-A correspondent writ
ing from Kauai. gives an account Of the doings Of
a native policeman in the neighborhood of KoIoa,
that if true, shows a lamentable degree Of slack
ness in the administration of Justice. Our cores
pendent says that he knows of a number Of in
stances where felonies have been committed and
the officers of the police have negotiated with the
offenders for the payment to them Of certain sums
of money, in consideration of which they offered TO
abstain from prosecuting. In The most of these
cases to be sure, the 'odense has been trivial, and
the amonnt of money proposed for composition has
been small, but the principle is the same. The
writer goes on to tell that quite recently be over
head a prominent member of the native constabu-
larry in conversation with a party who had broken
into a house in the absence Of the owner on Haw-
ali, and stolen therefrOm q saddle and other arti-
cles. The policeman told the thief that II he would
hand over fifteen dollars, he should not be prose-
cated for what he bad done. The offender ac-
knowledged In presence of our correspondent and
others, that he was guilty, but could not raise the
required fifteen dollars, nor even ten, TO which sum
the price of forbearanee was reduced by the po-
liceman. We are to suppose however that no pros
ecution came of the affair. for we are told that our
correspondent laid the facts before the Deputy
Sheriff and the Circuit Judge Of the Island. from
whom be got no satisfaction. they telling him there
was no law that covered such apractice! The let
ter Concludes by asking us whether or no there Is
any law on our statute books to applyf Most GER
tainly there is. Aside from the very palpable fact
that such a person as the policeman in question
should be summarily dismissed from the force. be
could be indicted under Chapter A, Section 6 OF
the Revised Penal Code. which reads as follows:
Whoever instigafes another 10 the commission Of an odense-
bH com1naudfng E0licfffnr or aGerfuN n hire ~ harxvs ..
deayorng To induce him TO commit the same, shall be subject
TO the penalty OF an attempt 20 commit such ohense.
The onense itself, as described by our cores
pondert. is, together with the penalty, set forth in
Section IL Of Chapter 20 of the Code.
w have no doubt whatever that il II be salts
factorily proved that snch practices as described
above are carried on by the native police, the prop
err authorities will promptly see to it that Justice is
done, upon all concerned.
