endorsed the proposal to form a new Constitution.
By consenting 10 the call for a Convention and by
electiug delegates. These may deceive some who
are unacquainted with the history of pre-Con-
ycntiJn times. and therefore we propose 10 reca-
~pitnlate briefly some Of the specious arguments
and promises made to the people, by which they
were led into the snare 50 artfully set for them
by the conspirators and in the same connection
we shall give some Of the views then expressed
by those who penetrated the real designs Of the
workers Of the plot. Thus, As we are convinced,
the light thrown upon the past by the knowledge
Of what has occurred since the Convention. viii
bring out into bold relief the principal figure of
that revolutionary period,-the present Minister
OF Foreign Relations for the weli-merited con
demnation Of all men who love truth and fair
dealing.
It Is necessary to revert briefly TO events which
immediately preceded the call for a Convention.
November 80, 1868, death Of Kamehameha ".
and accession of Kamehameha V.
January 4, 1864, election for Representatives.
April Is, 1864, election in Honolulu to fill Il
vacancy caused by the death Of Mr.. Webster, one
of the Representatives elect.
1t was known that the King had not taken the
oath under the Constitution, and also that the
Legislature was not called to meet in the first
week of April, las provided in the Constitutional
Compact of 1852, but these facts did not excite
public alarm or distrust.
On the 9Th of May, seventeen days after the
election held to fill a vacancy, 4 Royal Proclama-
ton was issued in the following words
WHEREAS, The experience If all Constitutional Govern
meuts has SHOWN that a written Constitution needs revision
from time % time. in order that it may BE- adapted 20 the
cN.urfrr condition Of tie TyeBule: And WHEREAS. 1t has ap-
pe4rri 10 u that many of the provisions Of Our Constitution
have not been productive Of that good TO Our subjects which
had been anticipated and some further provisions are re-
qujred for the benefit Of Our people and the permanency Of
Our Dynasty.
"THEuEFORE, Being moved thereto by Our love to Our sub
i-cts. it is Our will 10 meet Our Mobiles and the Delegates Of
Our people, for the purpose Of consulting upon the public good
erument"
To read this proclamation in the light thrown
upon it by the events of the last seven years, is
a sufficiently severe criticism. taking words in
their generally accepted meaning.
Here we pause in our record until another
week, when VT shall reproduce some of the COM
ments made at the time upon the calling of the
Convention, which are singularly interesting and
instructive after the lapse of seven years. The
proverb is well exemplifed-" keep "a thing for
seven years and you will find Il use for it."

ONE Of the most unpleasant features notice
able in our community Of late, is the evident
carelessness Of life and a disregard for its sane
tity. Some time since, our attention was called
to the circumstance Of tie killing of 4 man at
Lahaina, by the criminally careless act of one
person in directing a loaded pistol point blank at
another's head and pulling the trigger, whereby
death resulted. There were apologists for the
act who said, that the party handling the pistol
had no idea that it wasi loaded. This we cheer
fully admit, but the act Of pointing an empty
hre-arm at another Is an assault, and quite likely
to lead to serious Consequences. Then again We
have the case of preparing poison for rats by
parties on Kauai in such an attractive form that
an unfortunate native youth Partook Of it and
died. In both Of these cases We are indebted To
the prompt and vigorous action of the Attorney
General, whereby they will probably serve as a
caution against like carelessness in the future.
But the lessons taught by these examples have
not it appears made a very lasting impression
upon some minds in our community. The blast
ing of rocks in excavating a cellar. which oc-
Cured last Tuesday on King street, was an illus
tration of this. Notwithstanding a previous
caution given and suggestions of prudence made
by the chief of police, charges Of blasting pow
der were fired imminently dangerous TO life and
limb. Pieces of rock weighing from half a
pound to fifty pounds were thrown into the air
to fall upon the street and upon and through the
roofs of adjacent buildings, and this in a closely
built part of the city. Considerable damage to
property was done, but miraculously almost. no
person was injured. But had some of the flying
Jumps of hard coral which came only within n
hands breadth of striking men, felled them to
the earth, manned or killed, how could the per-
sons directly or even Indirectly concerned in the
act, excuse themselves to the law and public
opinion, or quiet the upbraidings of their own
consciences? Every precautiOn that experience
and prudence can suggest should be observed in
operations of this kind. and above all, none but
strictly sober men should be entrusted with the
dangerous work. A too scanty provision of the
usual precautions, such as heavy chains and tim
beers to cover and restrain the charge, should
not be countenanced when life and limb are in
jeopardy.
Again, we have had our attention called TO the
fact that while the bridge on School street, be-
tween Fort and Nuuanu streets was in process of
l repair, the space to be SPAWNED by the new
: bridge was left open and exposed during one of
our darkest nights, the only precaution against
accident being a fdoHS descenSus aUerno-a joist
stuck up across the street 50 as that it would
facilitate the precipitation of any unfortunate
horse and rider on 10 the rocks below. a
thoughtful person placed a lantern over the
chasln, or we might have had occasion TO chrOni-
Gle the loss of life or limb.
Is nobody responsible for these criminally care
less acts?

SIR Your letter of the 9th ult., was duly re-
ceived on behalf of the L. s.. \. H., IL a. ;. 5.
Line. ensuiring whether merchandise shipped to or
from Europe and transferred across the American
Continent, without appraisement, under the Act of
July IA. 1870. and destined for the Sandwich ISL
ands. New Zealand. Australia and Tasmania, or
either of said islands, would be included in the
provisions OF said Act.
Upon an examination OF the concluding clause of
the Both Section of said Act. which provides that
the privilege of the Act shall extend &" to impOrta-
tons from or to Europe, and from or to Asia, or
the Islands adjacent thereto. via the United States"
it appears that the only question to be determined
i whether the Sandwich Islands. New Zealand,
Australia and Tasmania, can be held TO be Islands
adjacent either to Europe or 10 Asia. Such being
the case therefore | am of opinion that New Yea
land. Australia and Tasmania. can be held to be
Islands adjacent TO the Continent of Asia. aud that
importations to or from those Islands can be held
~ coming within the provisions of said Act.
Though there is no apparent reason why the
Continent of Africa and all the Islands OF the sea
should not be embraced within the provisions of
the Act in question, yet the limitation expressed
therein Is OF such a character that il cannot.
without an entire disregard of the definition of
words. be extended further than to include the
Islands mentioned above consequently the Sand
witch Islands cannot be held adjacent either TO
Europe or to Asia. s

Tilton writes in the Golden Age :
"Amherst College the training school
for orthodox ministers, IS to have its
professional corps increased by the adj
dition of a dancing master. Why not (?
Dancing is not only graceful thing in
itself and an innocent and delightful
amusement, but was one of the re-
li9ious exercises of the Hebrews, whose
customs are looked upon as sacred
The old Puritans never took kindly to
dancing, and prohibited as a sin what
their jewish grandfathers regarded as
an act of praise. Scores of tracts have
been issued against it, and the hardest
pulpit demunCiaJions have been hurled
at 1T. Only two or three weeks ago Il
minister gravely asked his hearers if
they could imagine Jesus Christ
tripping it on the light fantas-
tic toe through the giddy mazes
of a cotillion as though the difficulty
whole question forever. And now here
is an Amherst, the staunch defender of
the orthodox faith, admitting the dane
ing master within its sacred precincts,
and encouraging its students to become
disciples of Terpsichore Who can
tell where such a thing may lead to (!

then asking him to take the step and

or the Germania. We are not SO much
alarmed as pleased with theinnovation
and are quite certain that the dancing
will improve the divinity"
