The CINCINNATI Enquirer asserts that the
third party movement in that city in regard to
local affairs proved an abortion, and an at
tempt to get upa recent meeting was CON-
plete failure But the Enquirer rejoices that
the ''true and tried friends of the Bible" are
at work It is happy omen to find that tried
friends Of the Scriptures are associated with
democracy in o contest Of any description.

Affairs AT THE LAVA BEDS, according to
the HERALD special dispatches published
to-day, are anything but satisfactory. Judge
Rosborough and Mr.. Meacham, of the Peace
Commission, had o lengthy interview with
Captain Jack and select party of Modocs on
Friday afternoon, the 4th inst, at which the In
dian Chief stated his desire to remain in the lava
beds, promising, in the event Of any change in
the Modoc Council to the contrary, to send and
inform the peace men the same day. No mes
senger came, consequently it would seem they
intend holding their present position. They give
up all claim to Lost River. Our correspondent
gives several reasons why the government
should not agree to the latest demands of the
Indians, the principal being that they cannot
live in the lava beds without stealing, and
perhaps murder would follow. The troops
have been ordered to the east side of Tule
Lake, with instructions to reconnoitre and act
on the defensive only.

~ We ind the following in the Ha,7liiaR
Church Monthly Messenger, for January, 1873. IL
needs no Comment az our hands:
IN ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS v. has been gath.
cred TO his people. The next generation will doubt
less understand better than the present the extent
10 which oar departed Sovereign was a nursing
father OF the Church III Hawaii. After the resis-
nation Of Bishop Stalcy. there was danger Of our
Mission being Withdrawn. and il was commonly be-
licved THAI there would net be another Anglican
Bishop in the Kingdom. At this crisis. the lale
King was instrumental in the hands Of Con. in saw
ing that Layer Of the Vine. which had been 50
teaderly planted by bis brother, from being rooted
up. His Majesty wrote a letter with his own hand
(Which We hope may be published) 10 the Arch
Bishop OF Canterbury on the Feast OF the ConNcr-
sion of :. PAM. ISL. acknowledging the blessing.
which the Anglican ChGrch had been to his king
dom, and praying him 10 send ont another Bishop
10 Gil the vacant See. His life was spared 10 see
the fuldllment OF this prayer. The malady. which
was So soon 10 terminate his life, seized His Majesty
Immediately after TIE Bishops arrival. But, al
though he was thus prevented from ever attending
Public Worship, he never ceased TO the day of has
death. tn take the keenest interest in all the con-
Germs Of the Anglican Mission. The Lord grant
unto him. to find mercy OF the Lord in that day.

fl habits. and strive for that standard OF improve
uIeut which gives >uch advance TO other nations
In my address. l alluded to some Constitutional
Amendments which could properly and usefuily be
made. | shall take i legal course to accomplish
this purpose.
II is evident that the popular expression. 50 re-
Gently made. has drawn King and People nearer
together. We know. now. that WE sympathize in
sentiment and opinion. aud that We are in earnest,
and in mutual accord for the common good
While Ny Government Is a Constitutional Mon
arch, il is an suspicious circumstance that the
popular will l. in accord with the legal bestow-
meat Of the Crown 1t promises a harmonious
administration Of public Affairs, which will give
ample protection 10 all men. and secure to them
the enjoyment OF liberty regulated by law. which
Is the greatest blessing which Government can
bvS;ow.
Upon the conclusion of the addresses. the choir
sang the stirring anthem, L OLA IA MoI 1 IKE AKUA
COP SAVE The kING-and His Majesty, followed
by the staH Of the late king and others, returned to
the Palace. The audience then dispersed, and for a
long time fingered around the Palace gate cheering for
KING LUNALILo.
After the proceedings IN the Church. H. f. Gov.
Dominis and the Hon. II. kahanu. escorted by the
Hawaiian Cavalry. rode through the principal
streets and made verbal proclamation Of the aces
sion of His Majesty, LUNALIL0. King of the Ha-
waiian Islands.
The appearance Of the military was unusually
good, and We were particularly struck with the SOL
diery appearance of the U. S. Marine Corps from the
Benecia. They are 8 fine body of men. and splen-
didly drilled. A royal salute was fred. upon the
elevation of the Royal Standard within the Palace,
from the battery on Punchbowl and the Beaecia,
and the several church bells of the city rang out
their joyful peals when His Majesty had taken the
oath.
Within the church, the group Immediately around
the platform presented a brilliant appearance. The
various uniforms, decorations. jewels, &c, were dis
played to great advantage. The ladies present gave
~lightness to the group, like jewels in a setting of
dead gold. y beautiful floral crown Ornamented the
front of the platform, and vases filed with lilies
were placed at intervals upon IL The closing an
them by a large native choir was splendidly sung
and was heard to great advantage, as the vast au-
dience poured from out the church.
1t is interesting to know that the words of this an
them are of the Kings own composition, written
while he was Prince Lunalilo for a public occasion
during the last reign. and that the only changes
made are in the insertion of his own name in the
second verse, and a portion Of the last verse.

Mr.. EDITOR-The able article Of the Gazette upon
" Constitutional Government points out very
clearly, and in nay view correctly the proper course
to be pursued in the present crisis of affairs; every
thing can be gained by this course that can be rea
sonably asked for or expected. The whole judicial,
legislative and executive departments Of government
as now existing derive their functions from the
present Constitution, and the Legislature was called
in conformity with it, and in accordance with it's
provisions are about to elect a King. If tie promises
of the Prince in case of his election could not be full
filled except by his ignoring the form Of law under
which he is elected, then a direct restoration Of the
Constitution of 1852 by decree might be justlfable-
but this would be revolution, and what possible excuse
is there for revolutionary measures and possible dis
order now. The King when legally elected can call
a special meeting of the Legislature forthwith for the
purpose of legislative amendment and the Legislature
so called can appoint a committee Of revision to
report to the next Legislature to be chosen, and give
the committed such general instructions as it shall
deem wise. Such a committee, without instruction,
would be likely to incorporate all the liberal provis-
ions of the Constitution of 1852, for this has been
one Of the important issues upon which the King was
to be chosen, the other being as to lis right to the
Throne. But further amendments are needed which
are not in the Constitution of 1852. Every depart
ment Of the government can be so reconstructed as
greatly to diminish it's expense without impairing its

The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1856-1888, 1873-01-11
