Sandwich Island Correspondence.
Honolulu, May 30, Is

HONOLULU, May 20, 1872.
The question of the annexation of the Samoa,
or Navigators islands to the United States will
soon be brought before the American people for
discussion. As ! have long been familiar with
the current events of the Pacific, including that
group of islands, ] have thought the readers of
the Spy might be interested in the leading facts
relating 10 those beautiful islands, Rumoys
have been afleat for some months that a scheme
of annexation was under consideration, but
now events are assuming definite shape.
BY the last steamer sailing for San Francisco
there went forward messenger, j. b. Stewart,
Esq, with properly signed documents, ceding
the Samoa or Navigator islands to the United
States. 1t was represented that the petition of
cession was signed by the two rival high chiefs
and one hundred and twenty.oue petty chiefs.
These documents were translated into the
Samoan language by one of the English mis-
sionaries, and duly certified by the British and
German consuls. II remains to be seen
whether the United States government will ac-
cept the gift, or 10 any manner extend a pro-
tectorate over these beautiful gems of the
South seas" While the question is pending,

would pc desirable possessions for the United
States government or any other government TO
annex TO their domiuons.
1t appears that they were discovered lust one
hundred years ago (1772) by 'the Dutch three
shipI expedition under the command of Rogen.
wein"--so asserts the Rev, DR.. Turner in his
Nineteen Years in Polynesia" The French
navigator, La Parouse, followed in 1887, and
while recruiting at Tutuila, there occurred the
massacre of Lieutenant NJ. de Langle, and
another officer and ten sailors, but how many of
the natives is not known. This unfortunate
circumstance branded the natives of the group
as ireacherOus aud bloody race, which was
about as far from the truth as could DO imag-
iped pr. Turner remarks in regard to this mas
saere: "Ihe only inference, probably which

The June report of the statistician of the agr-
cultural department is devoted chiefly to the
wheat crop already harvested or in prospect, and
IS thought to be more complete and satisfactory
than any before prepared so early in the season.
Ii is based upon reports from nine hundred and
three counties, of which 1919 indicate an average
condition, 270 condition higher than the aver
age, and 434 lower. The state averages are not
calculated from the number of counties simply.
but from the best informatioa attainable of the
actual production of the several counties. The
counties reported, represent and include large
part of the wheat producing area of the country
The summary of all the returns shows reduc-
ton ofabout two per cent in the area devoted TO
wheat this year from that given to the same
crop in 1871. The area is increased in California
and generally in the southwestern states and
few Others and is slightly less in the northwest
ern and southeastern states. The general condi-
ton for crop is estimated at six per cent
less than an average. The whole wheat
crop of last year was estimated by the depart
ment at go 100000 bushels, at eleven and half
bushels per acre. Considering twelve bushels
per acre an average yield, the area and condition
of this years crop on the first week in June in
Dictated product of 100000, 900 bushels. The
crop of 1869, which was about 10 per cent above
the average, and the largest recorded in ten years
was, according to the census, 2s7 ,00O, 900 bush
els. These figures are not, Of course, infinitely
accurate; but they are the best TO be had, and
probably fair enough indication of what we
are to expect in the way of wheat production
with ordinarily favorable weather for ripening
and harvesting.

ought to be drawn from this tragic occurrence
was, that heather nations have keen sense of
justice, and that If men will go upon the dis
proportionate principle Of life for a tooth, and
shoot man for trit1e, they must abide the
consequences. 1t is certain to be avenged, and
alas, it is often the case that vengeance falls not
on the guilty, but on some unsuspecting visitor
who may subsequently follow"
During the following next half century the
SamoanS remained for the most part uuvislted
and much dreaded. In 1880 the enterprising
and resolute apostle of missions in the South
seas, the Rev. John Williams, visited the islands
and left some native teachers or missionaries
among the people. liz 1886 six mission families,
under the patronage of the London missionary
society, commenced their labors on this group.
and probably no more faithful and earnest men
ever went forth to preach the gospel among the
heather. They were subsequently followed by
men of similar spirit; hence the Samoan mis-
sion has been one of the most successful and
prosperous missions in the South seas.
The United States exploring expedition under
Wilkes visited the group in 1899, and thorough
ly explored and surveyed the whole group. Ac-
cording to this authority, the group contains
1850 square miles, on the following islands.

did was to get the oar out of the
water as soon as possible, and if you will think
a moment Won will see that there is but one
way in which this can be done, aud that is by
pulling il through the water; and since it is
agreed on all hands that the stroke must be as
long il is possible to make it, il onlv remains

The apparently quick stroke and apparently
They pull greater number of strokes per min

by the rush forward and the apparently Quick
recovery is more than lost by the hang at the end.
1t might have been thought, this irate critic
says, that the Harvard defeat would have done
us some good. If they had studied English
rowing, compared it with their own, and thus
got at the secret of their own defects, they
might have carried back some lessons which
would have laid the foundations OF a new school
in America, and have given us some reason TO
hope that in time we might turn out crew lit
to compete with an English crew. Possibly they
might, but their failure TO do it, so pathetically
deplored by MIR. Smallcy, has not seriously
troubled the rest OF their eountrymen. To have
a crew that can compete with the same number
of Englishmen, is not an aspiration fondly cher
iShed by very many of us.

One Of the stock phrases of the democrats, as
sistant and other, who want to make Greeley
president, is that the south must be relieved from
oppression This is repeated with infinite iteration
and in great variety of form. The effusive SYM
pathy prolessed for the wrongs and sufferings of
the downtrodden south, by Mr.. Greeley and his
followers, is truly affecting. We find plenty of
it in the newspapers of that persuasion; so
much, IN fact, and so obtrusively thrust into
prominence, that its real nature and intent, a
trick to catch southern votes, is rather too APP
parent; but we do not find anywhere definite
statement of the oppression under which the
south is groaning. The only oppression that we
have heard Of in the south for some years past,
is that of the freedmen and republicans by the
kukluX Khan, and most odious and diabolcal
tyranny it is, but the papers which support
Greeley preserve a decorous silence as to that,
aud even their assurance is not equal to the pre-
tence that Greeley would be more likely than
Grant to put an end TO that oppression. Mr.,
Hendricks in recent speech said and the Gree
ley not-organs echo it, that the people of the
south are not permitted to govern them
selves. This is an impudent falsehood; if
he had said that until lately the people of the
south had never been permitted to govern them
selves, that would have been true Mr. Greeley
and his friends, in their walls over the oppressed
condition of the southern people, ignore the fact
that the black men and women are people as
well as the whites. The only cause of
complaint which the men who claim
to be the Southern people" have pretended
TO have against this administration is
its determination TO secure 10 the colored people
their rightful share in the government, and pro.
lection in their persons and property. Greeley,
before he became possessed with the idea that lie
could "beat Grant" saw the necessity of main
tanning these rights, and advocated the measures
adopted for that purpose. Now he and his
friends see in the same measures only usurpa-
ton and tyranny He needed the votes of the
kukux, and this is his bid for them.

The GRENADIER BAND.-The st. John New
BrunsWick) Telegraph has a correspondent in
Boston who looks after the Jubilee" In let
ter written last Friday, he gives the following
information concerning the British Grenadier
Band and IFS appearance in this country:
Invitations TO the Grenadier Guards band to
visit different cities are coming in thick and fast.
Knowing that the claims of st. John would be
considered as soon as those OF any other place,
have kept the desires OF our people in reference
to the matter before Leut.-Col. Fludyer, when.
ever have had fitting opportunity. During
long conversation with him this morning at his
rooms at the fremont house, he expressed his
opinion that the chances of getting the organ
lzation to play outside of Boston were not al all
good. he thought that if President Grant in
yited them 10 20 to Washington, the consent of
the hcme authorities might be obtained to their
doing so, but he felt that if they went to one
city outside of that, there would be no telling
where the starring tour would end. He read
some extracts from letter from brother Off
Ger at home, the tone of which is very conserYa-
tive and characteristic. The men, it appears,
are paid by the officers who furnish their instru-
ments, and allow them all the profits derived
from playing in public in London at theaters,
etc. The letter says that though Earl Granville
states that the consent of all parties was OBJ
tanned TO the band coming to America, he shou Id
remember that the parties most interested
those who pay the men and own the instruments
the officers, did not consent. The officers of
the guards think that though the bands of Ger
many and France were allowed 10 come to the
Jubilee, that is not a reason why the band of
the grenaders of England should follow their
example. 1t is undignifed, says the writer, that
the band should go starring it around away
from home IN the pay and interest of any pri-
Vate spcculatOr"
