The alleged illegal and piratical mode of
procuring people from the southern islands
of this ocean and conveying them to
Peru, Tahiti, and other parts of the world
as laborers, has, within the past few
years, been pretty well ventilated. Those
who have been, or pretended to be, posted
on the subject, and those who have pro-
fessed ignorance as to the facts relating
to the business, have denounced it. The
attention of Governments has been di-
rected to the subject, and we hear re-
Gently that a shp-ofwar has been cruising
among the islands, and has, no doubt,
been the means of checking the nefarious
business in a great degree.
There can be no doubt that the means
used in procuring laborers for the above
countries have been. to great extent,
illegal and improper, and that the at
tempted suppression of the trade is well
worthy that great nation which has ever
been foremost in alternating the sufferings
of the wronged and oppressed. 1t is
probable, however, that among those who
have been the loudest in denouncing the
business, a much more desperate state of
affairs has existed in their imaginations
than has existed in fact. One thing has
always been incomprehensible to us in
this matter of kidnapping natives, and
that is, how vessel, schooner perhaps
of eighty or hundred tons, manned by
a crew of ten or fifteen men can land at
one of these islands and carry off from
one to four hundred (in many cases war
like,) natives by forcel This view of
the case seems to us quite improbable if
not impossible, though we have no doubt
that Misrepresentation and fraud are used
in inducing the people to leave their
homes, and persuading the chiefs to per
NIT them to depart.

The late storm ON Hawaii.

From advices from Waimea and Kohala
we learn that the storm of the 9th inst.
was most severe in those districts, partic-
ularly in Kohala We cannot better de
scribe the fury of the storm at the latter
place than by publishing the graphic &C
counts of it, given by Mr.. D. D. Baldwin,
manager of the plantation, and Rev. Mr..
Bond, a resident at that place for over
thirty years, to Hon. S. n. Castle, Treas
urer Of the Kohala Sugar Company. Mr..
Baldwin writes:
"0n Wednesday of last week, a fearful tornado
swept through this district. spreading desolatiOn
and ruin in its track ;demOlshing Dr. Wights mill
building and large portion of the tbatched houses
in the district; throwing down our steam chimney
and about halfa mile in extent Of our fume up
roofing huge trees, and prostrating cane fields
The wind commenced about 6 O'Clock A. NJ. from
the North, and rapidly rotating to the West and
South, and increasing IN fury, reached its climax
bout A. N. when it suddenly lulled to a calm
earthly in contrast with the ruin the storm had
rapidly wrought The wind was accompanied
nth torrents Of rain which raised the streams to
an unprecedented height and swept away fences

ONE of the modes of treating the wild
cattle on Hawaii has been, when driven in
to the slaughter pen, to hamstring them
in order to make it impossible for the ami
mails to get away until it was convenient
to kill them. 1t has not been unfrequent
that the poor beasts thus disabled and tor
tured have been left over night or all day.
crippled and suffering intensely, awaiting
the butchers knife. On his recent visit to
Hawaii, the Minister of Interior becoming
cognizant of this brutality, called the at
tention of the police authorities to the fact.
Several parties engaged in the business
were recently arrested and brought before
Judge Spencer, at Waimea, charged I'M
der Section l, Chapter "a of the Penal
Code, which reads as follows:
l. Whoever shall cruelty beat torment, or
infict suffering upon any horse OK mule, or other
animal belonging to another, shall be punished by
Imprisonment at hard labor not more than three
months, or by fine not exceeding one hundred
dollars. If the animal belong to the offender, he
shall be punished by fine of FIVE dollars for the
first ofense and an additional five dollars for
every subsequent offense, and in default of the
of any such fine shall be imprisoned at
hard labor not exceeding thirty days"
The parties arrested plead that as the
custom of hamstringing cattle had been
practiced for many years, they supposed
there was no harm in doing so. They were
fined one dollar each, and were assured
that any further violation of the Statute
would be prosecuted to the extent of the
law.

forwards suing him in the Circuit Court of
the United States for it's recovery. The
Circuit Court decided that the tax was law
full and the collection proper; but on ap-
peal the Supreme Court has reversed the
judgment, with but one dissenting voice,
that Of Judge Bradley, of New Jersey. This
decision settles the question that the income
tax, so far as it applies to the public officers
of all local governments, is unconstitutional
and must be abandoned.

The Infamous Income Tax---Let
it be Resisted.

The New York Evening Post, Repubh
can paper, in abiding to the recent decision
of the supreme court in the case Of Judge
burlington, makes use of the following Ian.
guage:
I'VE have no means of knowing what
amount Of money has been collected in the
shape Of income tax upon official salaries
during the last seven years, but it is very
large, certainly several millions of dollars
the whole Of this sum has been collected H.
legally, and if paid Under protest would now
necessarily be refunded The question
whether the income tax upon private citi-
zens Is also unconstitutional has not yet been
decided by the Supreme Court; but it is
considered doubtful one by many eminent
lawyers. A decision against the legality of
the tax would bring great confusion into the
administration Of the Treasury, and would
involve large losses Of money to the govern
ment in the repayment of many millions Of
dollars which have been collected under
protest or by force.
This Is to be avoided if possible; and the
best way to do it is Immediately to repeal
the tax, before the collections for this year
begin. IfCOngress will abolish the tax a
once, it is likely that no claims for refund
ing past payments would be pressed. Blu
if the collection CT the tax is persisted il
this year, it will be resisted in every lega
way by a combination of leading citizens
who believe it to be unconstitutional II
any case, the decision made on Monda,
cuts off one Of the most important source
of productiveness for the future, and in
creases the injustice and inequality of tn
tax, by eXempting from it a large class 0
citizens, certainly not the least able to bea
1t. Thus the reasons for an immediate re
peal Of the Income Tax law, already s
strong as to make public opinion nearl
unanimous in demanding it, are great
strengthened by the action of the court"

Fayette County Items.

From the Somerville Falcon of the 18th
inst. we clip the following items:
THE new county question has been the
principal topic of conversation on the street
this week. A good deal of speculation as to
the probable action of the committee ap-
pointed by the county court last week IS in
duIged in, and the feeling of opposition to
allowing this county to be sliced up and
handed over in fragments for the formation
of new counties is universal We have no
information as to what course the committee
will pursue, but Whatever they do should be
done at once and done well.
"The indications of revival in the mat
rimonial market this spring are good.
There are now seven prisohers,all oolored,
confined in the county Jail awaiting trial
before the Circuit Court.
Mosquitoes in larger numbers than usual
have already made their appearance this
season.
Some of the farmers on the Loosahatchie
complain of too mucn water fer planting op
erations.
