1t is evident that the popular express
sion, so recently made, has drawn King
and People nearer together. We know,
now, that we sympathize in sentiment
and opinion, and that we are in earnest,
and in mutual accord for the common
good.
While Ny Government is a Constitu-
tional Monarchy, it is an suspicious cir
cumstance that the popular will is in
accord with the legal bestowment of the
Crown. 1t promises harmonious adj
ministration of public affairs, which will
give ample protection to all men, and Sc
cure to them the enjoyment of liberty
regulated by law, which is the greatest
blessing which government cen bestow.
After taking the oath of office, as well
as after the delivery of His addresses,
His Majesty was greeted with enthusiastic
applause by the assemblage present.
Upon His Majesty's departure, escorted
by the Staff and high officials of the Gov
ernment, He was again enthusiastically
saluted, both inside and outside of the
church. 1t will be observed that His
Majesty walked to and from the church
on the occasion of publicly assuming the
high and responsible position to which he
has been called.

The Cabinet,

His Majesty the King has been pleased
to appoint the following gentlemen to be
members of his Cabinet, viz:
Minister for Foreign Affairs Hon. Chas. R. Bishop
Minister of Interior E. o. Hall, Esq
Minister of Finance, Robert Stirling, Esq.
Attorney General, Hon. A. F. Judd.
Each of the above gentlemen is well
known by almost every person in the
Kingdom, and we are not, perhaps, say
ing enough, when we say that their APP
pointment meets in every respect with the
popular approval

and up Nuuanu Avenue to the Royal
Mausoleum. The procession, stretched
along the Avenue, reached from the upper
bridge, below the Judd Hill, to the corner
of Beretania Street, distance of about
three-quarters of mile.
Arriving at the Mausoleum, His Ma
jesty the King alighted from His carriage,
accompanied by Her Excellency K keeli-
kolani, and the Hon. Mrs Bishop, and,
followed by Her Majesty Queen Emma
and the Ladies' of the Court above named,
entered the Mausoleum, when the Royal
remains were borne to their last resting
place. After the burial service of the
Church by the Rt Rev. Bishop of Homo
lulu, assisted as above, the various Ma
sonic bodies filed into the tomb, when
the impressive and beautiful burial SER
vice of that fraternity were performed,
the Rev. Mr. Whipple acting as Chap
lain; the Masonic apron and the Past
Masters jewel of His late Majesty were
deposited ON the coffin.
After the burial service, three vollies
of musketry were fired by the military
drawn up in front of the Mausoleum.
The battery on Punch Bowl and the U.
S. S. Benicia having fred minute guns
from o'clock A. NJ. until the close of the
ceremony.
After remaining in the Mausoleum a
short time after the funeral rites had
been performed, His Majesty, accompa-
MED as above stated, entered His carriage
and proceeded to the Palace, escorted by
a large portion of the bodies forming the
procession.
Along the whole line of the procession
from the Palace to the Mausoleum, the
streets were lined with spectators. Great
credit is due to Governor Dominis, under
whose immediate supervision the funeral
procession was directed, as well as his
efficient Aids, Major G. II. Judd and Cap
tain a. F. Judd, of the Cavalry, to whose |
active cooperation, in great measure,
the avoidance of accident and confusion
was owing.

We are requested to call the attention
of those whose census blanks have not as

that they should be forwarded at once.
The special agents have called on those
who were dilatory in filling ont the blanks
furnished them, repeatedly, and it is hoped
that all or nearly all have been collected.
Though, if any one has been omitted they
are specially desired to forward their re-
turns to Mr.. Smith, Secretary of the Board
of Education.

On motion of Hon. c. H. Judd, the Assembly
adjourned until the 9th inst, at II o'clock.
Prince LUNALno took his seat in the
Assembly at the opening, but retired to
the Chambers of the Chief Justice before
the ballot was taken. The announcement
of the result to the public outside of the
Court House was received with deafening
cheers by the thousands of people con-
gregated in the yard and streets adjoin-
ing.
After remaining in the Chancellor's
apartments short time after the announce
ment to him by the Committee from
the Assembly, His Majesty appeared on
the balcony and in few eloquent and
pertinent remarks expressed His acknowl
edgments of the good will and unanimity
displayed towards Him, and invited the
assemblage to meet Him tomorrow at II
o'clock noon, at the Kawaiahao Church,
where the oath of Office will be admins
tered.
We congratulate the Hawaiian people,
to-day, upon the unanimous election by
the Legislative Assembly, of His Royal
Highness WILLIAM CHARLES LUNALILo,
as Sovereign of the Hawaiian Kingdom.
We congratulate them, not only because
He has been to-day the unanimous choice
of the Legislative Assembly, but that the
people themselves, have by their unani-
nous voice indicated, in tones not to be
mistaken, that He was the Prince of their
choice.
Never, in the history of nations, has a
Prince come to the Throne under more
happy and glorious auspices. Chosen by
the free and full voice of His people, rati-
fed and confirmed by the constituted
authorities with equal unanimity, He
can to-day proclaim himself Sovereign
of the Hawaiian people, not by con-
quest, not by compact or bargain, but by
the free, spontaneous choice of those over
whom, in the Providence of God, he has
been called on to rule
