OUR CHICAGO FUND.-The beautiful charity of
New York and Of the world towards Chicago will
be never known fully on this earth. No book could
hold the names of all the giyers. The Recording
Angel alone has inscribed the blessed deeds i'm
perishaby. The personal experience Of receivers
and almouers of the Relief Fund if ever written out
would bring tears to the eyes OF many besides the
strong men Of Chicago 1t would show the nobest
and sweetest Of all the Christian graces working as
a powerful hidden spring, at the bottom of all this
benefcence Such is the teaching of our observation
of the Journal Of Commerce fuud In all the letters
containing relief money which have come to US we
could find trace of desire to advertise business
or make notoriety. a large amount wss handed

ACCIDENT To THE kILAUEA.-Ou Thursday Of last
week. alter the steamer had taken all her freight at
Kealakekua, Hawaii, she was being got urder way,
the wind being OFF shore After the vessel had been
cast ofT from the buoy and before the signal had
been given to the engineers to 20 ahead" the yes
sci had drifted of several lengths. The signal to
60 ahead was given, and the order was given from
the Captain on the bridge to the man at the wheel
to siarboard the helm. he answered "starbord"
as is customary with men at the wheel when orders
are given on board ship. The Captain being on the
bridge at the time and closely watching the move
mcuts of the vessel observing that she did not swing
of shore he Intended thought the reason TO be
that there was not sufficient Roadway make
her mind her helm He therefore signslled to the
engineers TO "go ahead fastn the result Of which
was that the vessel swung still farther in shore;
pcrceivng this, Capt McGregor soon as he could,
siguaed to slow again, but before that was posi-
Die the steamer brought up against rock On
examination it was found that the man at the heln
instead Of putting the wheel hard starbOard as or
dered had put it hard a-port. This was extraordi-
nary the man who was at the helm at the time
was one Of the most intelligent men in the vessel,
and good helmsman. The only explanation Of
his mistake is, that the unusual fatigue of the voy
age around Hawaii had so exhausted him las well as
the other members of the crew that he hardly knew
what be doing. The damage 10 the steamer,
though slight viii detain her in port for week.

Tbronuh the courtesy Of our very clever
r,icrd Dan. DovEnoo, Esq, member Of
the House Of Delegates, We are enabled
10 present this morning o list Of tho en-
aclmen,s Of the Legislature, at the recent
session, and the appropriation bill rs
finally passer. The total appropriations
mot m sS4O, 1882. To this add deficit
ogtormer year to be refunded to school
r.pd. sixty thousand, and VIC have the
,o,al charges on tho treasury for the
wear. in round numbers 100000. The
finance committees Of tho Legislature
in their majority report estimated the re-
ccio.s of the current year at something
over s874,OoO, aud il they are no greater
thR Legislature has overdrawnits account
iusl a, lhe last one did, and there would
h, deficit at the close Of the year OF
some s32 OOO But the committee their
estimate Of receipts took no account oil
, large balances of back taxes due and
unpaid. These, as stated by tho Treas
urer amounted at the beginning Of this
wear to $s?5,OOG The Auditors estimate
ortbc years receipts is 100000, and lie
makes the cs,imnte from an intelligent
comparison with the receipts OF the pre-
vIous year. In this is included an esti'
mate Of some $4,000 schooltax, leaving
receipts for general purposes $l13,OOOi
which would leave surplus OF some
$1,000. But the Auditor estimates fora
collection of less than $4,000 back taxes
of years before 1870, whereas out OF the
s995, 900 Of such taxes due, there is reason
to expect considerably more than $780,
OOO will be collected, From the best
lights before us, the receipts for the year
ought n be several thousands larger than
the demands on the treasury, leaving q
surplus at the close Of the year.
A glance at the summary oracts passed
shows mass Of special and private legis'
IatiUn such rs no Legislature has before
enacted. The Legislature did well in the
matter Of appropriations rs whole, keep
ing thoaggrcgate in moderate bounds, but
they did anything but well in the charac.
ter and quantity of legislation, q very
large part OF which is provided for by
general laws. Very few measures Of i'm.
portanco arc to be found in the list.
One was the adoption and submission of
the Flick Amendment, the vote on
which will be taken on the 4th
Thursday OF April, mot May, as
heretofore reported) Another was the
net rcmodeling the election laws, doing
away with registration. Another was
the act submitting the question of a CON
sututiunal Convention IN the fourth
Thursday of August The apportion-
ment failed altogether, chiefly, II not
wholly, because there had been no official
publication of the census, and tho power
of the Legislature to make the apportlOn-
nent on anything but official figures was
doubtful. As to the Convention, VIC hear
that in the southwest men Of all parties
are opposed to 1t, and some Democrats Cs
innate the majority against it in that con
