New YORK, April 1.-The Times special says
the evading of the tax on tobacco, by the use of
manufactured leaf, has grown into such prop
ortious that the Revenue Bureau is compelled to
appeal to Congress for immediate Legislative rem
edy. It is estimated that twoffths of the tobacco
now eyades taxation through the medium of dealers
in the manufactured article Plat of Virginia gives
notice that he will, on the first opportunity, ask
a suspension of the rules and the adoption of an
amendment to the revenue laws which will amend
section So, by inserting clause providing that
retail dealers in leaf tobacco shall each pay 600
and that every person shall be regarded as retail
dealer in leaf tobacco who sells or offers leaf tobacco
other then that of his own growth and production.
Specials from Kingston, April S, contain the
following The President of Hayti, since the de-
parture of the San Domingo Commissioners from
Port prince, has received addresses from every
town and village Of the Republic, with numerous
signatures attached, attesting nationality and
declaring determination to maintain their indie
pendence against all intruders from every direction
and they declare the same sentiments against
annexation.
The Moniteur says that in both Houses of Con
gress and in the Press of the United States deci
sion has taken place having in view the annexation
of the whole island without in any manner respecting
the Hayiieu Government and people. The American
Government can't be too early convinced of the
utter impossibility of such an event

The AfIauea.

This vessel has, within the past week,
been hove down, and it has been found
that the damage received by her while
ashore at Molokai was much less than was
anticipated
1t may be said, without the least fear
of contradiction, that the prompt steps
taken to repair her, and place her again
as soon as possible on her route as a
coaster, meets with general appreciation.
1t hardly admits of doubt that those
who were not long since ominously
warned of an awful responsibility, be
cause, at an unfortunate moment, the
steamer had run ashore on Molokai, will
be perfectly cxhonerated by the public
every individual of whom will promptly
and gladly respond to the expense, be it
one, two, or FIVE dollars each, which viii
be incurred in doing the repairs made
necessary by her misfortune.
We have not, as yet, heard of anyone
referred to, denying the responsibility of
their position in this matter, nor in any
other In fact, they are responsible in
the highest sense of the word, but it is to
the public, and not to individual fault
finders responsible or irresponsible =
whether they may happen to have the
columns of a newspaper at their com
mand. or retail their grievances and the
supposed (by them) grievances of the
public on the street corners.
The short time the Kilauea has run
since she was placed in repair by the
Government, has demonstrated the almost
absolute necessity of inter-island steam
communication, and we may say that
when the occasion of the present inter
ruption first became known in Honolulu,
no small share of the public regret for
the disaster was caused by individual
sense of inconvenience and loss. The
agent, the merchant, and those resident
here who were interested in business on
the other Islands, felt severely, the sudden
deprivation Of regular and certain COM
munication with their customers and
correspondents to windward.

The people either from want of know
ledge of the modes of cultivation of pro
ducts suitable to the soil, want of indus
try, or similar disappointments or dis
couragements to those experienced by the
people Of Makawao and Kula, have, as
necessity compelled them, disposed of
their little homesteads, leaving themselves
and children in position which necessi-
tates their living and working upon the
lands of others. We do not say that this
is universally the case, but is to an ex-
tent, which is greatly to be regretted.
The effect has been not simply to impov-
erish the people, but it has largely added
to the causes which have tended to de-
crease in the population. With no lands
of their own to cultivate and a strong
aversion to laboripg for those who have
lands and would employ them, the poor
way of living of many has engendered
diseases which want of comfort has made
fatal.

CORRESPONDENTS.

Mr. ED1ToR-SH:: Some time ago I
noticed that all the public newspapers of
this city took lively interest in the cul-
tivation of the Ramie plant. We were
told that SO many crops could be got in
year, and so many pounds from crop per
acre, and so many dollars or cents per
pound; in fact, having some three acres
of land to spare, l began by making a
preliminary estimate of how many years
it would take me before l would be in a
position to buy the Rothschilds out, or
pay off the French, English or American
National debts, and thus entitle me to
have a monument raised over my grave
by grateful posterity. | figured away
on a large slate, and had nearly arrived
at the end of the calculation and the bot.
tom of the slate, when the intrusive
thought struck me that all this, and much
more, could be accomplished in few
years, if only II o''iy-somebody
would invent a proper and satisfactory
machine for separating the fibres from the
bark and properly prepare the stuff for
shipment and sale. Though l am san
guine, am not hasty; 50 | quietly laid
my slate down, put my land into potatoes,
and thought l would bide my time, for l
conceived it morally impossible that, in
these times of Pacific railroads and Pacific
steam navigation, more than six months
could elapse before some competent ma
chine would be invented.
Twelve months have elapsed since
then, and yet no note of the coming ma
chine has been heralded forth by either of
the Honolulu journals Ipray you, there
fore, in the interest of might-be lucra-
tive branch of industry, Qeaving out the
national debts and the monument above
referred to- to make due inquiry in the
proper quarters where, and how soon, and
at what price this Ramie machine may be
procured, for am sure that it has been
invented by this time. BY so doing you
will oblige more of your agricultural
friends than me. Yours truly, X.
REMARks.-Our correspondent, owing
probably to the obscure and out-ofthe-
way place in which he resides, and the
time taken up by him in cultivating his
potatoes (which has undoubtedly pre-
vented him from reading, or remember
ing what he has read in the papers,, is
excusable for not knowing that a machine
is now in use for cleaning the Ramie, and
that it is a very good and cheap machine
too, only costing about $3.50.
There is also another machine, costing
about 10000, which prepares the Ramie

Criticisms ON Private Character.

Editors most given to attacking private
character have, we have observed, the
most to say about the freedom of the
press" the duty of the press" and all
that. They are continually mounting
high horses of moral Indignation, and
blowing tremendous bugle-calls to sum
mon up all the slow-going journals to
make grand charges on some enemy of
the public good that they have discovered
somewhere. They talk as if the most
lamentable failing of the American press
were its excessive timidity and refinement
in not hauling private wrong-doers over
the Goals. That such is deficiency
usually observable in the conduct of that
"vast institution" as Dickens called 1t, is
news to us. We had thought that if
there were a point on which American
journalism is uncommonly strong, and
least needs Indictment, that is its fearless
and, we might say, ferocious disposition
to unearth and put its sharp teeth into
any private gentleman, no matter how
ostensibly respectable, upon whom it
deems that operation necessary. And we
are still of the opinion, after calm sur
vey of the characteristics of average
American newspapers, that the bugle
should be blown, if at all, to call them off
from attacks on private citizens, rather
than to set them on.-Jolr Of Commerce.

WE call the attention of our readers to
the interesting letter of Rev. J. S. Green,
on the cultivation of wheat in former
years at Makawao and Kula No one Of
those who have passed long lives in teach
ing the Hawaiian people is more worthy
of praise for disinterested and energetic
labor in educating them and bringing
them to their present state of civilization
and enlightenment than our correspondent.
His head has grown grey in the service of
the people, and in a service which has only
had the tendency to elevate them. To
teach people who are emerging from
barbarism the habits of industry, is no
less obligatory upon those who devote
themselves to the work of introducing
the arts of civilization and the lights of
Christianity into heather country than is
the very preaching of the Gospel. This
our friend of Makawao has, during his
long stay and arduous labors there felt and
practiced. One result of his enlightened
view of his duty as a pastor of the people
of Makawao has been the thrift that in
former years characterized the people of
that district.
The difficulties and drawbacks of wheat
raising, as described in the letter referred
to, were sufficiently great to discourage
those much more accustomed to the me
thodical cultivation of the soil than are
the Hawaiians. The incursions of the
caterpillars, the untimely rains and
droughts were well calculated to check the
ardor Of those who at first undertook the
industry with the hope of making it sue
cessful. and their district one of the most
prosperous in the Kingdom The result
of the difficulties incident upon raising
wheat has been that the land in the dis
trict is mainly owned by the planters and
graziers, and the people, to whom 1T was
originally sold mainly for the purpose of
giving them an opportunity of making
homes for themselves, are landless. This
state of affairs, it is to be regretted, is too
much the case throughout the country.

The next mail from San Francisco will
probably be received by the Nebraska,
due here on Saturday or Sunday next,
bringing dates from there to the 4th or
5th inst. The next steamer of the Homo
lulu, New Zealand and Australia line will
be due in about a month after the Ne
braska. As there are two lines of steam
ers now established to make the through
trip, we may expect to receive regular
steamer mails every two weeks. This,
with the sailing packets which are con-
stantly plying between this port and San
Francisco, will make our mail facilities
much greater than they have ever been
heretofore. The City of Melbourne, of
Halls line, will be due here from Sydney,
via FIJI, on the oath or 25th inst, and
proceed on to San Francisco. She will
probably make the trip from here to
San Francisco and return in about twenty
days. We are still of the opinion that
the China steamers will touch here in
time, which will add greatly to our i'm
portance as a centre of steam navigation
in the Pacific.

for manufacturing purposes. Probably
the cheaper machine would do for the
comparatively small plantation of our
correspondent. We hope the profits from
his crop of potatoes will enable him to try
the experiment.

IT is gratifying to know that the regu-
lar communication which has existed for
the past year between here and the Aus
tralian Colonies and New Zealand is al
ready having good effect in the way of
extending our commerce and relieving
our exporters from their former de
pendence on one market for the pro-
auctions of the country. Already several
cargoes of sugars and other articles of
export from here have been despatched to
Sydney and Melbourne, the returns from
all of which, so far as heard from, have
been satisfactory. The brig Crown will
soon be despatched with cargo of dark
sugars which have been purchased for an
old established mercantile house in sgd
ney, which has been largely engaged in
the purchase of sugars at Mauritius for
that market Believing as we do that to
sell our produce here instead of exporting
it on producers account would be benef-
cial, both to the producer and those inter
ested with them as agents and otherwise,
we are glad to see this, one of the very
few cargoes of sugar ever shipped from
here on foreign account, going in that
direction

and the Coal miners still continues

mines here and there are in operation.

have been examined, and representa-

from Legislation, but we do not see
how Gov. GEARY can be justified in
not execu ting the laws already in exis.

find better and happier homes.
