DURING all the talk, pertinent and otherwise,
that has so far arisen upon the subject Of Labor
and Population, it has been apparently con-
ceded that either Japan or China, or both, are
the sources from which we are to look for the
material to supply the first Of these wants. And
unless the idea Of IS cognate races " is more deyel-
Oped and becomes more in favor than so far APP
pears, we Will probably have to look in the same
direction for recruits to our permanent popula-
ton. Now if these conclusions Of ours are sound,
it behOoyes US to be moving in the premises, and
promptly take the necessary steps toward the
desired end before the possible and very probable
course of events in the East Tor more properly
the West, from us) shall have rendered our enter
prise in that direction extremely difficult, if not
altogether impracticable, for a time at least.
We refer to the fact, not generally known or
considered as important by " the rest Of man
kind, that a war is now threatening between
the Empires Of Japan and China, respecting the
kingdom Of Corea. By ancient usage, Japan
claims tribute from COrea, and the Empire of
China also claims that island. Recently the
Coreans have sent n letter to Japan, insulting in
its tone, and refusing to recognize the authority
of the Mikado or to pay tribute. In consequence
it is stated that the Mikado is determined to
enforce bis demands, and is fitting out a feet of
six war steamers to be sent to Corea with that
object. On the other hand, the Chinese Govern
nent, acting as the guardian of Corea, has de-
clared that if japan attacks her dependant she
will attack japan. And it has recently been
reported that the Chinese have been busy in
certifying the approaches to the Peiho river, 1.-THE
place where they gave the British and Allies such
a warm reception some years ago) and that they
have built and equipped one or two war steam
ers. In the event of the war which appears
impending between these two countries, Japan,
as the most warlike and best equipped in modern
appliances, would doubtless beat her clumsy
opponent, and probably the sympathies of all
Europe and America would be with her. But
the breaking out of such a war would at once
throw impediments in the way of our getting
either labor or population from those countries,
if it did not in fact cut short all our hopes in
that direction, for an indefinite period of time.
Under these considerations, will it not be wise
for our business men. our planters, and our Gov
eminent, to be cup and doing" before the
opportunity for action has gone by?

Japan.

An editorial note in the Independent, speaking of
the new condition of things in Japan says:
There seems TO be no doubt that the Mikado of
Japan will set out next year to make the tour of
America and Europe, and see for himself whether the
reports of the civilization Of the West are true. The
japanese are burning their bridges behind them in
TO the fraternity of the rations and the spirit Of the
the MikadO is practicing the most rigid economy,
press. Our correspondent at Yedo writes US that
the Department of Civilization or Colonization (Rai
~faku-shi) has planned great enterprises, and by the
help of General Capron, Major Warfeld and others,
are carrying them out handsomely. Through General
Capron they have sent TO America for specimens of
the hest breeds of horses, cattle, sheep, hogs, etc.
These animals are the constant delight of the
japanese. In the southwest part Of the city of Yedo
they have cleared seventy-five acres of ground, form
erly belonging to the daimios. and plantel il with
American fruits. In Yesso Major Warfeld has been
busy for several months constructing wagon roads.
DIR. Stuart Eldredge will soon open a medical school
in HakOdadi, and an agricultural and scientific
school will be opened at Yedo, under Professor
Antisell. 1t should, however, be better understood
that the Americans in japanese employ find that
they are not expected to control or take charge Of
anything; but to advise, suggest, and do the work
assigned them. The japanese are not only the en-
ployers, but they are emphatically the "bosses"
and the officers; q fact which shows that, with their
acceptance of foreign ideas, they have lost no particle
of their self-respect. If America sends them teachers
in the sciences of government and wealth, she should
select men of the highest ability aud integrity.

4 WRITER over tie signature Of Justice, ="
whose communication appears in another column,
Is undoubtedly correct when he asserts that "all
men" do not agree with Us in our views upon
certain matters and things. y newspaper that
suits everybody views is something that it il
quite impossible 10 publish; to prove which
we advise our correspondent, or anybody else who
feels inclined, u essay the task for a few months.
- Experience Is u dear school, but there are some
who will not learn in any other"
Our correspondent Will perhaps pardon us if
we differ from him IN our estimate Of what was
and still Is " public opinion" in regard to the late
ministerial changes; and further, he will allow
US the privilege Of a doubt as to whether the
= letter addressed to His Majesty, to which ref
ereDce is made, could rightly be termed an ex-
preston Of the . public sentiment" It's publica-
ton in full, together with the answer received,
might afford light on that point.
Justice states in effect that the late Minister
of Foreign Relations was in harmony with the
majority Of tie Cabinet; that there was no diff
ference Of opinion between that Minister and His
Majesty the King; that public opinion did not
call for the dissolution Of the Cabinet, and does
not now justify it. 50 that by the showing of
our correspondent, the late Minister has, by his
course, been guilty Of treating His Majesty, his
colleagues in the Cabinet, and public opinion gen
orally, in a manner that is both discourteous and
triaing. After reading the first paragraph Of the
letter Of " Justice, - we are left to really no other
conclusion than this damaging one for his client.
There is not, and there cannot be, any cOntrO-
versy between our correspondent and ourselves as
to the importance of conserving and promoting in
every Legitimate way the paramount interest and
leading resource of the country; although we
may honestly differ with him, and still agree with
the majority of our patrons as to the means and
Instruments best adapted to the good of all con-
cerned for bringing about the desired ends.

Those people who always buy their coffee
whole to avoid deliberations will be provoked to
know that the coffee berry is now initiated so
well that only experts can detect the false from

Robert Toombs calls the Kuklux " the noblest
band of patriots seen on earth since the day that
Leonidas and his three hundred Spartans died at
Thermopyle,' all of which is another evidence
of the peaceful and ~fraternal temper of the South.
y California convict, just discharged from the
State Prison, has set about fulfilling a VOW made
at the time of his conviction-that of successfully
shooting the twelve ~jurymen who decided the

g laid for William Bias the other day, and
shot him. If his vendetta is successfully carried
out, it will have the effect of rendering profess
sional jury service unpopular in California.

be invited to accompany the expedition, so as to
secure the best possible results. 1t is not neces-
cary to make vOluminous collections of natural
history on such expeditions, as the most interest
ing objects are usually those that can be com
passed in a small space; and whatever the Navy
Department may do in tins direction will be
gladly received as an earnest of its sympathy
with the scientific movements Of the day.

will be omitted in the way of deep-sea Their

The sloop-oEwar Portsmouth was fitting out
at the Brooklyn Navy Yard, and would soon be
dispatched on this important expedition. 1t was
contemplated that she would be employed on the
work some three or four years, although the
magnitude of the undertaking will occupy as has
been stated, at least ten years.

The Ga~ene publishes a resume of all the laws
and regulations of the Government respecting the
importation of laborers into this Kingdom, and
concludes with the following words:
"As far as we are aware these are all the Laws
and Regulations pertinent to the subject now under
discussion, and we state by the authority Of the
Minister of the Interior, who speaks for himself and
his Colleagues, that the Board of immigration are
now ready. as they always have been, to further
the interests of anyone DESTROYS of introducing la
bOTers. Letters of Credence will be given to
Agents, approved by the Board. for the Consular
Officers of the ports which such Agents may be
called upon 10 visit. In line. the public are assured
that no obstacle will be- thrown in the way of any
one who desires TO bring labor here on the con-
tTary, every proper assistance will be cheerfully
and readily granted. But whilst saying this, we
hope it will be understood that the Government
will still, as they have done heretofore. insist on
such guarantees as will satisfy them that the la
bOrers come here with free will and consent. and
that the nature of their obligations is fully under
stood by them

HOWEVER valuable TO the scientific world and
the student of geography may be the discoveries
and explorations of Livingstone in Africa, of far
more worth to the cause of humanity will be his
statements in regard to the slave trade, and his
efforts to enlist the sylnpathies of the civilized
world in an attempt to arrest the nefarious traffic.
According TO the statements which have been pub
lished, as derived from Livingstone through Stan
ley, there is an annual export from the centre of
Africa of 10000 slaves, who 60 to Arabia, Mad
agascar and Persia. During the times when slav-
cry was recognized as u legitimate branch of COM
merce by civilized nations, 50 large a number as
this was not exported in any one year. The slaves
who were kidnapped and sent to America were
from the West Coast, and were inferior in physi-
que to the inhabitants of the regions described to
Livingstone. The slaves are now captured by the
Arabs, with the cooperation of the negro kings,
who declare war against neighboring tribes for the
object Of obtaining prisoners for sale. Captives
are not however taken without desperate resist
ance, and five or six are killed where one is taken
alive, thus causing an annual loss of life as esti-
mated by Livingstone, of half a million of men
The region from which this supply of forced
labor is drawn at such a fearful sacrifice of human
life, is large enough and fertile enough to pro-
duce all the sugar and cotton now required to
supply the world. Livingstone has in his own
person proved the affirmative of the question,
hitherto considered to be in doubt, of the posi-
bility of a European living in good health in the
climate of Central Africa. 1t is probably no
more unhealthy than are some portions of India.
But ommerc must soon explore the land, and
the governments of civilized nations will undoubt-
edly join their efforts in bringing to an end the
iniquitous slave traffic, the existence of which
shocks the spirit of the age. Then indeed will
Ethiopia stretch forth her hands to God, and
Livingstone will have won an imperishable fame
as a true philanthropist.

Mr.. EDITOR Every mani does not agree with
your statement that the recent CafJnct changes
have been the result of public sentiment, or of pOlit-
ical disagreement. The burden of newspaper at
tack for a long time past has been leveled at the
Minister of Foreign Relations, bnt upon the most
important measures which involved the public in
terests it has been, and is now, generally belieUed
that he was in harmony with at least tIoO OF his three
colleagues and His Majesty the King. whilst some
how il was supposed that the third did not hold the
same views upon really the most vital interest of
the land as his colleagues or the King. This | think
was the general opinion. and it certainly was sns-
tanned by the recalling of the said Minister, and
upon his declining. by a letter to him signed by
those representing largely the interests of the COM
merce and industry OF the land, asking him 10 re-
consider the reply that he had sent TO His Majesty,
and another still TO His Majesty, expressing salts
faction with his call of the said Minister, and the
hopes of reconsideration by the ex-Minister. So
whatever causes may have contributed to the dis
solution of the Cabinet, you will pardon a large
number of your patrons for believing that public
opinion did not call for it. and the action both of
the King and residents as stated above shows that
public opinion did not justify ii.
Again, Mr.. Whitney assumes that because but
one patron withdrew his card from the ADVERTISER,
that public opinion sustained the views which had
been published upon the labor question. | do not
think that the premises warrant the conclusion.
Nearly all of his business patrons in Honolulu did
not agree with the views upon this question pub
lished in the ADVERTISER. ald disapprOyed Of their
publication. but did not see fit in consequence TO
Withdraw their patronage from the paper so the
fact that but one patron Withdrew his patronage
forms no evidence that public opinion sustained the
views published in the paper.
Yours truly, JUSTICE.
