various parties and the supply was never regular,
consequently the price was irregular also Vessels

English merchandise to j. T. Waterhouse, has made
an excellent passage, although detained three weeks

The vessel has hauled into Brewers wharf the same

plant at the Policestaiion Sunday morning, that
his establishment had been broken into during the
previous night, and over four hundred dollars in
coin taken. The officer who investigated the affair."
considered that although the case appeared suspi-
cious, there was neither 4 burglary or a robbery
perpetrated, there was nothing about the prem
ises which seemed to warrant such supposition.
The only satisfaction which the complainant OBJ
tained was an iutmation that the robbery occurred
only in his own Imagination.

D1scuARGrSe sH1Ps.-Tbe work Of discharging
heayy-laden ships can be accomplished with the
same facility in Honolulu as elsewhere, by the aid Of
steam and competent stevedores. A vessel nova
days meets with dispatch in unloading aud getting
ready again for equal TO that obtained in ports
OF older countries, thus saving great expense TO
owners The bark Atalanta, by the aid of steam,
discharged 800 tons Of coal inside Of ten days,
which is little over half the time occupied in dis.
charging cargo OF the same material from the bark
Duke OF Edinburg that not half the amount
with manual labor at 4 cost Of over oncthird more,
besides other expenses. The brig Peter discharged
cargo OF $50 tons of coal in three days by steam
an expense Of about fifty dollars, and was ready
for sea in six days from the date Of her arrival.
Had she discharged in the ordinary mannerit would
probably have cost twice that sum for labor alone
TO say nothing Of longer detention in port. If re-
CURED vessel can be discharged at the rate OF 500
tons day BY this means.
GUANo ISLANDS. In addition to the American
Guano Company, who own the principal Islands
comprising the Phoenix Group, and The Starbuck
Island Guano Company, both Of which are repre-
scented here, we understand that the Maiden Island
Guano Company contemplate establishing an agency
at this port for the purpose OF charerinS vessels
and procuring supplies, being convinced that our
close proximity tina: island offers advantages
than having only one agency-which is in Mel
bourne-at so great distance from the island.
Maiden Island is situated in latitude 4 south,
south, longitude l55' west, and formerly belonged
TO the American Guano Company. 1t possesses a
better anchorage than any OF the other islands, and
was taken possession Of by an English Company
during 1861 A number of vessels have been loaded
there, the laborers on the island being South Sea
natives. Starbuck Island also owned by an English
Company, is situated in latitude 5 SO south, longi-
tude 155' SO west There are already about thirty
laborers on the island that were engaged here
several months since, twenty.six Of whom are Ha-
waians and four South Sea natives Fifty more
have recently been engaged, -fortythree Hawaiians

BEHIND THE CURTAIN.-The
following, from the Picayune, re-
quireS no comment:
Saturday, the Governor and his
lictOrS, or part Of them, held a
caucus. His excellency made a
speech, not unlike speeches found
in Milton's Paradise Lost. He
told his friends that he would in-
form them what amendments to
propose to the corrupt bills of
which the people complain; that
his late message was "all a blind"
they must 60 for mock reform
not for any measure that would
decrease his power or influence.
Privately he went about among
the most truSty, ani told them
that they understood him. lie
told them that in a few days their
laborS would be over and that they
would have no trouble about the
matter.
Carr proposed to put the regis
tration bill as amended through
the House to its third reading,
and there let it die. But it is nC
improvement on the old bill which
it is proposed TO amend. War
moth told his men that after the
Legislature adjourned he would
tell the people that lie tried his
best to have reform bills passed
but that he could not control the
Legislature. The same old farce
so oft repeated. The people un
derstand this business perfectly

Southern Character.

The Southern people are emf
nently conservative. They are
not easily led to extremes in poll
ties, religion, social customs, or
modes of action. They do not
readily take up with the tIansceu-
dental style of thought which is
manifested in higher law doc
trines, spiritualism, wOman's
rights, or cOmmuniStic funeral
procession. Southern society is
elevated, refined, harmonious,
compact. 1t is not the coarse,
loose uncultivated aud insecure
thing which its ignorant enemies
have so often delighted to repre-
sent it.
We speak, of course, of what is
understood universally i'll all com
munitieS, of the real timber of so
ciety, that by which people should
rightly be judged. In thisreSpect
the Southern people may well rest
satisfied i'll comparison with other
sections of our country. They may
not, indeed, have advanced so tar
if it be desirable to do so, in many
of the arts of living, as have those
of more Northern latitudes; for
many of these very arts, while
presenting all the attractions of Il
splendiGly superficial civilization,
are but the whited sepulchres
which conceal the rottennesS with.

But in that refinement and cul.
tivation which is born of honesty
of character and goodness of heart

perior and but a few equals.
Frank, Open-hearted and gener
Gus, honest by instinct and educa
ton, he is as constant and true in
his friendship as he is earnest and

Such people are not given tc
misrepresentation of themselves
in the eyes of Others. They are
easily and quickly known, and are
ready to respond to similar senti
ments in others. The South.

A. Fit Close of an Infamous
Career.

The body called the General
Assembly Of Louisiana, terminal
e1 last night its career of unpara-
leIled infamy. 1t would be a trite
phrase, to say that the history of
modern times furnishes no such
example of the gross abuse of
power, of such fragrant immorali-
ty, corruption, and indeceHcy, as
have marked the career of this
disgraceful assemblage.
From the beginning this social
ed Legislature has been a den sf
plunderers, audaciOus jobbers and
brokers in votes, where the rights
and franchises Of the State have
been peddled away by pretended
repreSentatives-for filthy lucre.
Under the pretence OF giving the
people republican government and
laws, they have outraged and
trampled upon every principle and
object which are held sacred under
that form of government, and re
garded aS essential to freedom and
right.
The whole aim has been to filch
from the people all that could be
extracted and divide the spoils
between the memberand the rings
of iobbers which have controlled
and manipulated their votes and
acts.
The theory was assumed, nay,
proclaimed, that the people, the
tax payers, those from whom the
lawful revenues of the State were
derived, were jus; prey of certain
miserable adventures who, by the
grossest frauds, foisted themselves
into the representative seats
Highwaymen, burglars, and petty
thieves could not be less disturbed
by conscientious scruples, noI
more Indifferent to the conSe
Quence of their acts, nor even t.
the appearance thereof, than have
been these plunderers and des
poilerS Of people.
But pshaw! Why dwell OIL
this revolving theme!
We can only be excused for do
ing so because of the lesson and
warning, combined therein fol

the Unreasonable evils and
wrongs which have resulted tC
