Incendiarism.

MR- EDrroR Both before and since the rendition
Of the verdict in the recent trial for an attempt at
arson, I have given the subject a good deal Of
thought, as to all the circumstances in the case, and
1 now send q few Of them to you
Ist.-The rubbish found under the door step at
the corner Of Nuuanu and Merchant streets, could
not have gone from Mr.. Whitney's and got in the
place in which it was found without help. We had
ordinary trade winds blowing on May 9Th, 1872,
sufficient TO have blown away any rubbish lying out
side that door. All the probabilities are that it was
brought there purposely.
2d-That q hole under the sill Of the house back
% the step, three inches deep by six inches wide,
was n rat-hole. is absurd. There may have been n
rat-hole there, but the fresh dirt plainly showed that
human hands had made the excavation the size it
was when discovered
3d-Dd the jury bestow any thought rs to who
was the nan that attempted TO rescue the prisoner,
and who, when the constable blew his whistle, ran
down Marine street? The prosecution never sue
ceeded in finding that man but had the prisoner
been there at halEpast u O'Clock for n legitimate
purpose, would he not desire to produce that mar,
and could he not easily have done so2
4th.-There have been no attempts at arson since
the prisoner was arrested shortly before his arrest
there were three
Probably the jury acquitted in this case because
the attempt was bungIingly made. The man did not
go FAR enough Yours, FIREMAN.

The only application made 70 me IN connection with

that would inevitably follow the establishment Of

Il will not lie unreasonable nor extravagant To
look Tor the rapid rise Of a aourishing settlement
there, eventually to be connected with the metro
polls by railway.
Whatever may be said by opponents or doubt
ers as to the nature Of the difficulties that may
lie in the way Of our securing the desired treaty,
it prospective advantages,-and indeed is almost
necessity even To our existence as an Independent
nation.-are 50 manifest and of such magnitude,
that we should be melted and urged at this the
evidently opportune moment, to put forth all our
e~xertions and energies for the accomplishment of
the needed end.

The Boston papers are demanding an investi-
CATION of the management OF the fire department
during the eonHagrstion. They also call for a
thorough reorganization Of the department, and
a new layout Of the burnt district, with broad
streets and occasional open squares. With this
accomplished, the Boston AdUeTfiser says, 50 Bos-
ton will, in ten years, have gained far more than
she has lost, and may cheerfully pull through
without accepting the kindly p~rofered a~ssistanc
Of her felloW-suferer Chicago, which we trus

The county is now hampered by
the organic act; forbidden to borrow
money or issue bonds prohibited
thereby from undertaking any public
Improvement no matter how necessary

free to act as other communities?
Are we not as competent to use our
own resources with judgment and de-
cision AS they?
This election is called to secure q
popular expression in favor of remov-
ing these letters of free action by our
County Commissioners; to show to
Congress that we desire to arm those
Commissioners with power to issue
bonds in aid of public improvements.
Let no man therefore through any
short sightedness as to the future, aid
by his vote to perpetuate restriction
which renders our county authorities
powerless to assist in developing our
most material resources.
Let us first of all obtain the power
to purchase railroads or any other i'm
provcments we need. Let us have
ample power, confindent in our own
firmness and discretion. The limit Of

want and need not remain at the
mercy of any company.
The difficulties and rebuffS met with
at Tacoma constitute our opportunity.

The West Chester Village Record
says Joseph A. Smelley of Uwchion, is
living in stone mansion which is one
hundred and forty-two years old, and in
that time it has only had three new roofs
covering it, the last one being put upon
it this spring. Mr.. Smedley's grand
father moved into the house in 1889. The
roof which covered his head lasted for
&c years when it was replaced by new
one, built of cypress shingles. 1t lasted
for rs years when Mr.. Smedley. the
present owner, substituted new one last
spring In the house are yellow poplar
window frames whichfehave been worn
