a New eShip.

Our Hilo correspondent refers to a rumor to
the effect that it is proposed to commission
another judge of the Supreme Court, to reside
and exercise jurisdiction on the Island of Hawaii.
The project is not a new one. as we remember
having heard it discussed among members of the
bar on previous occasions, and generally with
approval. There are many sound reasons why
the creation of such a judgeship would be highly
advantageous for the best interests of the i'm
portant Island of Hawaii, and there is nothing in
the fundamental law of the Kingdom which for
bids or circumscribes an increase in the number
of Justices Of the Supreme Court. The opening
clause of Article 65 of the Constitution reads
- The Supreme Court shall consist of q Chief
Justice, and not less than TACO Associate Justices,
any of whom may hold the Court" They are,
by Article II, appointed by the King. The only
obstacle which may be found to the filling of such
an office, if created, is to be expected in the
scarcity of material Of a suitable sort. That
men can be found in sufficient numbers to choose
from who would in every respect come up to the
qualifications demanded and expected by the
Ministerial advisers Of the Crown, may be ad-
mitted, but we apprehend that it by no means
follows that the choice of n Judge by the Ruling
Genius would be the choice of the people, or
would secure & the right man in the right place "
or, to quote from our correspondent-that he
would be ga man learned, full of equity,
noble, notable; in the processes of his life. limo
cent in the passages of State, wise in affection
Of his country, religious in all his services to the
King, fortunate and exploring such a man as
envy itself cannot accuse nor malice vitiate.'"

that a subscription has been opened in France for
the deIiverance Of the territory from the occupation
of German troops. by aiding in paying OF the debt,
and that. appealing to the patriotism Of his country
men, Bishop Maigret informs them that he IS charged
with the duty Of receiving and accounting for their

THE ALLEGED ARSON CASE.
Attempt to Bribe an Important WITH

Attempt tn Brfbe an Important Witness
The Of Louis Mendelson, the tailor who II has
been alleged set fire to his shop at 1l5 West Forty
sixth street. on the morning OF the 5th inst, came
up for examination yesterday at the Yorkvie Police
Court. Mendelson, it will be remembered from the
published report Of the proceedings before the Fire
Marshal, was seen by private night watclman,'
named Peter O'Rourke, who was looking over the,
fanlight OF the door OF the tailor shop, to
throw away a lamp he held In his hand,
whlle ne made no effort at all to ex--
tngiish the fire, which was then burning up to the
ceiling or the shop. IL was on this evidence Of
R0urke's that Mendeson was arrested, bnt he
positively asserted that he had not caused the fire.
lie Thought however, that the fire was caused by
some boys who were setting or frecrackers in the
street, close to the door Of his shop. Last evening"
II Is alleged, an attempt was made to bribo
ORourke to leave the city. Two men unknown to,
him offered him 5000 and his expenses II he did So
but he refused This fact he stated In his evil
dence yesterday, and the effect was OF courses
very much to the injury Of the defendants cause.
O'Rourke was subjected to severe cross examna-,
ton by Colonel spencer who appeared for the pris-
oner, but his evidence was Just the same as that
taken before the Fire Marshal. Onicer Bernholz OF
the Twenty-second precinct, testified that he was
at the door OF the prisoners shop and In the imme
dlatc neighborno0d twenty minutes before the fire.,
put neard no nrecrackers set of, nor were there
any number OF boys to be seen on the street any
where. The further examination was adj0urned
until ejeven O'CLOCK Saturday morning.

THE REAL ESTATE MARKET.
Notes and Comments.


The heated term has driven most of the large
operators in real estate out OF the city and pro-
duced an enforced stagnation in the market.
Hence there is very little Of interest to be said UNTIL
with cooler atmosphere, more active dealings are
resumed.
Numerous transactions. many of them OF large
amount are reported, but in such an imperfect
way as render them OF no value. We have already
called attention to this matter in note published
some weeks ago, to the effect that many such re-
ports were before us, but as the details
were insufieiently stated to make correct quota
ton, we declined to publish them. We forebore
at the time to go further into this matter although
aware OF the existence OF much fiction IN respect to
these transactions OF the nature, although differing
very materially, OF what is known as washes on
the Stock Exchange, but reproduce the remarks OF
contemporary, which ore exceedingly apropos at
this tlme:-

ance that newspapers give these harpies sharpers
All reports OF private sales should, therefore, be

current value they should always consigned to
the waste basket for they should happen to be correct
the public Will lose nothing by their noappearance until
should prove bogus" why rogue would be non
piussed and some innocent person saved from being
victimized.
The principal business at the Exchange Sales
room Ii what are known as illegal saesn being
sales of real estate, mostly improved property un-
der the authority Of the Supreme Court or the
Sheriff.
There Is good deal Of manufactured excitement
In suburban property, both in the style OF adver-
tislng and the manner In which the sales are con-
Quoted. moderate success has attended these
sales but the effort to attract attention and the
striving after sensational effect, which has con-
tinued throughout the season, suggest strong
pressure to sell, with reticent market.
The recent strike In the building trades and re.
ductlOn OF the hours Of labor has seriously
interfered with the progress Of building
In this city and Brooklyn. The legitimate
result to be looked for from this Is an increase in
rents, owing to the increased cost of building, an
enhancemept OF the price of improved real estate,
where the buildings are in ordinarily good repair
building lots not possessing unusual advantages
exciting competition.
The sales yesterday were unimportant and do
not call for special mention.
The special movement in boulevard property has
lapsed for the present, owing to the warm weather.
to be renewed however, with fresh activity in the
fall.

SOUTHERN SECURITIES FIRM.

SOUTHERN SECURITIES FIRM
The Southern list was firm, the nomination OF
Mr. Greeley by the democracy at Baltimore encour-
aging belief among holders OF Southern securities
that the next State elections may be carried In con-
nection with the Presidential ticket, by the politi-
cal parties who are alleged to be more interested
in Southern prosperity BE this as it may, the tone
of the market was decidedly better, the new South
Carolina July bonds advancing nearly one per cent
to 80.

STOCKS DULL--ERIE WEAK AND LOWER.
The only incident Of Importance In the move
ment on the Stock Exchange was further decline
In Erie which was weak from the beginning Of
business and gradually declined from 561< to 3d.
The report submitted to the stockholders yesterday
was generally canvassed and severely criticised,
especially on account of the credting of illegal
penses'' to the item of construction" misplace
ment which misrepresents the relation Of earnings
to expenses. The stock in London was correspond
ingly weak on the announcement OF new
$780, consolidated mortgage loan, to be issued
to the extent of $644eO for cash. the balance to
be retained for retirement of the unconsolidated
bonds. This we believe, is revival or renewal OF
CONSOLIDATED LOAN,
created in the time of the Fisk Gould administra-
tion and arrested midway OF its negotiation by an
Injunction OF the Supreme Court. 1t will be no.
ticed in the report to the stockholders that the
above amount of &c. 48 600 is included in the bonded
debt, although only about half OF 1t had left the
custody of the treasurer. The exact position OF
