Charity Begins at Home"

Honolulu is noted for its charities its liberality is
unbounded, and in the subscription for the relief of
the sufferers by the recent fires in America a new
instance is given. But we may well question the
~propriety of canyassing this city at this time to raise
funds for a purpose 80 foreign. The sentiment that
actuated the prime movers in this matter is noble I;
but discretion and prudence would lead one to con-
slider our present depressed condition, and present
the proverb at the head of this item with renewed
force. -
1.-THE action taken by the Chamber of Commerce in
regard to the fund for the sufferers by the late
fires in the western portion of the United States
while laudable in itself and to be commended for its
disinterestedness, comes before the public at an I'M
fortunate time. The people of Honolulu and the
Islands generally have always expressed their sympa-
thy for the unfortunate and suffering everywhere by
timely and generous responses to calls made upon
them for relief and assistance /; and it is with some
reluctance that our community win have to confess
their inability to meet this latest call with q generos.
ity consonant with their heartfelt sympathy.l

IMPORTANT ANNoUNCEMEST-The Pacisc Mail
Steamship Company, in a circular issued from the
New York Office under date of October I'd, and
signed by Allen McLane, President. states that they
will begin a s%emi-monthly trans-Pacifc line be-
tween San Francisco, Japan and China, on the 18th
May, 1872. with regular departures thereafter from
San Francisco, on the LIST and 18th Of every month
except when such dates fall on Sunday. when the
departures will take place on the Saturday preced-
ing. The statement is also made that the Company
will be prepared to supply additional tonnage,
should the trade require it.
This announcement will be very gratifying to
the mercantile community, and to all who are anx-
ious for the revival of American commerce. The
fact that our trade with China and Japan has so
much increased as to warrant semi-monthly steam
trips, attesis the wisdom of the Government subsi-
dies, by which alone an American was enabled to
enter the field originally and keep it in the face Of
much Encouragement at the outset of O costly en-
terprise.-S. +. Bulletin 18th Oct.

No little alarm has been felt in Europe at the
existence of a secret organization throughout the
principal cities, known as the International Soci-
ETY.. The burning of Paris-or at least SO large
a portion of it an was accomplished-is attribu-
ted to this society's emissaries. Its object is de-
clared to be to make capital subservient Co labor
the old war cry is the motto down with the
rich, up with the poor laborer." Its ramifca-
tions are said to extend to the United States, and
there are not wanting those who ascribe the re-
cent great fires which have attracted the attention
of the world, to the incendiary agents of the In
ternationals. A San Francisco paper of the l4th
uit., has the following paragraph, which has the
tone Of a sensational item

ing Of our reporter, a man (whose address was by him instant

statement There is a Society in existence called the 'Iu-

TO make capital subservient 10 labor. We intend to do this by
the only means in our power. viz; by touching the pockets Of
this Society so were the fires at Virginia City and Pi"che.

Boston, 81. Central Wharf has been a
scene of unusual excitement to-day in conse-
quence of the occupation of the premises of

shall Usher and posse of officers. Messrs.
Weld & Co. are heavy importers, and irregu-

marshal caused one of the safes to be forced
open, and expresses the determination to
break open the others unless the firm produce
the keys. The marshal has sent to the U. S.

Bangor, Me-, 81. A case has been on
trial at Newport for several days before Trial
Justice Z. McCrillis of Dexter, which has
created good deal of excitement in that vi
cinity on account of the high standing of one
of the accused parties. 1t was an action
against John f. Simons and Going Hathorn
of Pittsfield, for forgery. The amount of
various forgeries said to have been committed
by them aggregating thirty to forty thousand
dollars. The principal government witness
was the defendant Simons, who appeared as
States evidence and swore to having with
knowledge and connivance of Hathorn forged
also that of one ID. w. Libby, and that the
paper had been used by and for the defend
ant Hathorn, who is one of the leading men
of Pittsheld, and largely engaged in manu-
featuring in that and other places. A large
number of witnesses were examined, and
efter searching examination of the case,
conducted for the government by Abraham
Sanborn of this city and Geo. w. Walker of
Newport, and for the defence, by ID. Stewart
and st. Adams, and Knowlton of Skowhe-
gan. The case was to-day submitted 10 the
court without argument, and it was ordered
that the defendant Hathorn be discharged
and that Simons be held in fifteen hundred
dollars bail, to answer to the Supreme Ju-
dicial court. The decision was read " it'll
