SUMMERS HEALTH,

THE CONNECTICUT MURDEREss.-The New
Haven papers publish an account of Mrs Sher-
man, who is now in prison, convicted of the
murder of her husband and step children. Her
story, narrated to Capt. Webster, jailer at New
Haven, is substantially as follows:
She was born in New Brunswick, N. j., in
1926; was orphaned at al early age; Joined the
Methodist church at the age Of II, and married
Edward s. Struck. Soon after he became a
policeman at Yorkville, and being taken sick,
on account of discharge from the force, she
poisoned him to get rid of him after he became
crazy. Mrs. Sherman is very ignorant
woman, and can hardly read or write She can
give no dates to speak of. She afterwards
poisoned her two children, so that they should
not be burden to her. She was not suspected
of these murders. Next she moved to Litch-
field, Conn, married one Dennis Hulbart, and
not liking him as husband poisoned him.
She was not suspected here. She went to Der
by, and married man of considerable proper
ty named Sherman, after acting as his house
keeper some time. They had two children
These she determined to poison and did So,
though she did not intend to poison her hus-
band. She asserts that he took the poison
larsenic) by mistake instead of saleratus, which
he was accustomed to put in his cider before
drinking. She herself was nearly dead once
from taking some cider in which he had placed
arsenic, thinking it was saleratus. In brief
she owns up to poisoning two husbands and
tour children, but asserts she did not poison
Sherman, for which crime she is to be sentenc-

Washington Matters.
THE PRESIDENT AND THE LOUISIANA PoLIT-
ICAL WAR.

The President will soon send to the House
his answer to its resolution passed before the
recess inouiring for all the information upon
which his action in the Louisiana political
difficulties was based. The document is al
ready prepared and awaits only one or two
important accompanying dispatches a: i COM
munications. 1t will present a very full and
authentic account of the troubles in New Or
leans. and will show that the Pres dent &C ted
only upon complete and impartial statement
of the facts obtained from all sources available.
The President in Coz versatlon with prOmi-
nent New England representative this
whole Louisiana case, the facts and
issu involved and showed himself
fully versed in all the mysteries of men and
affairs in that State. No compliments were
wasted ..pon either Pinchback, Heron or
Warmoth, for none of whom the President
expressed any admiration; but he declared
hi. belief that the State was no estly Repub.
Gcan and that there would have been no con-
troversy over the result had the elet ton been
fair and honest. Concerning DureiIs deci-
sion, the President gave no opinion and init
m tied that it might be found illegal, but as
an official act of judge of United States
force it.
SUMMERS HEALTH.
The health of Senator Sumner continues
very precarious. He has not slept for fort
night without the simultaneous injection Of
morphine. Yesterd y he sent note to his
colleague, Senator Wilson; stating that he
should be absent for some days, and request
ing Wilson to explain his absence in the
event of a vote being taken.
THE MORMON QUESTION.
President Grant tak as a very do ided stanC
agains the continuance of polygamy ir
Utah, and it is intimated that he will soor
send special message to Congress on the
| subject. In a recent conversation with some
Western gentlemen, he said that institution
must be abolished, and if Congress will pro
vide adequate legislation, such Legislation
shall be enforced, if Gen. Sheridan has to g
there with 10000 men. The desired legisla
ton is that which will Ell able the United
States Marshal there to impanel juries which
the Mormons cannot control.

two weeks before his death, but be bore all with

And now. dear sir, l have something to inform
you. which l am certain you will be pleased To
hear. When the Reindeer called here, as / informed
you in my last letter. they brought \ selection Of
books from Kind friends in Valparaiso. Among
them was a periodical edited by the Rev. William
Reid, NJ. ~, called the " British Evangelist from
which the dear departed one found great consola-
ton. also another little book by the same author.
the " Blood of Jesus" Gods Way OF Peace" by
Horatius BouaT, II. D., and several little works by
BrownIow North. which have been Instrumental. 1
trust by the Holy Spirit of causing n revival or
religion among us. Many appear 10 be very anN-
iOus about the salvation OF their souls, and L hope
have really come to Jesus. l have not for many
years seen 50 much anxiety among us, and j trust,
reverend sir. that You and other Christian friends
at Honolulu will remember us at the Tsrone at
Grace. that the revival may continue and increase.
and that We all may become real disciples of n
Cruciied Redeemer.
We have not received any letters from Norfolk
Island since | arrived here, but two whalers touched
here in December last-the GeORe, Luce, and Lire
OAK, Beckerman. They were at Norfolk Island in
1870, aud brought us the sad tidings Of the death
OF many of our relations and friends l know not
II any OF my children are among the number, but
l feel very anxious to receive a letter from them.
We have been hoping to see a man-ofwar on her
way from Valparaiso TO the Islands. or from Homo
IHIu TO valparaiso, as We think II probable we nave
letters at both places, but So far our hopes have
been disappointed.

1 would merely add that the British war vessel
CIneeon, now in port, will soon sail for the South
Seas, with instructions to touch at Pitcairn's Island
and look after the inhabitants. The Island is very
small, being only four or five miles in circumfer-
ence. and quite billy and uneven. Aside from the
actual supply OF inhabitants with sweet potatoes,
the Island affords but few articles which may be
exchanged with ships touching there; hence contri-
buttons from abroad are always acceptable. To
those persons in Honolulu who have contributed on
the present occasion, l would in behalf of the Pit
cairners return sincere thanks.

Our HilO Letter.

HILo, Feb. 18th, 1878.
To The Editor Of he Pacific Commercial Advertiser i:
siR-It may be true. though even on that score, 1
am not quite positive, that we have not always enter
tained the same ideas or been on the same aoao in
politics; yet, 1 am free TO confess that, so far as your
paper is concerned, 1 seldom if ever read an article
in it which is not thoroughly SOUND. and which does
not rivet my attention and necessitate o re-reading.
The above remark 1 was induced to make after pc
rusing your leader in the issue of the Ist inst,
headed " The Supreme Court" That article. Sir,
contains statements which, though they may appear
severe and unpalatable to the party for whom they
were intended, are none the less true. and which
every thinking man in this Kingdom, if he thinks at
all, will fully endorse.
In penning the said article, you certainly must
have had before your eyes that injunction of the i'm
mortal Pickwick-''It is always best to do what the
mob do - "But,' suggested Mr.. Snodgrass,
" Suppose there are two mobs - 'Shout with the
loudest,'' replied Mr.. Pickwick; and you undoubt-
edly have shouted with the loudest mob, 80 far as
the popular opinion of the present Second Associate
is concerned. 1t is to be hoped His Honor will
receive your candid and well Intentional hints in
good part and be induced to doff the ermine-iho' 1
believe that is not used in these Courts-for some one
batter qualified by legal ability to don it; for surely,
no one in Hawaii mel, in the heavens above, the
earth beneath, or the waters under the earth. could
ever possibly understand. not only by what virtue he
was appointed to so lofty a position, but how he has
had the GOODNESS and courage to take his seat for so
long a time where he has seemed tc all to be so sadly
out of place.
Now, Mr.. Editor, let me pray of you. in all mat
tiers pertaining to the welfare of this nation, to be
always as plain and outspoken as you have been
in this matter and believe that there never was n
right thing done nor a wise word spoken in vain,
although the fruit of them may not at the time be
apparent.
1 am not aware of anything transporting in these
remote regions, either politically or otherwise, that
would interest you. No fire, nor smoke, has been
visible at the crater of Mokuaweoweo since my
last report, nor have we even been blessed with O
CONFUSION of mother earth. We have, however,
been favored during the past week or ten days
with copiOus showers of rain ; our streams are full,
and the plantations have all recommended grind
ing in earnest, and most of them are turning out q
most excellent quality of Sugar.
Yours, X.

HONOLULU, Feb. 18th, 1873.
DEAR COMMERCIAL: Now that we have a new
Board of Health, we hope that a great MANY of our
nuisances will be removed-we refer to the health
destroying condition of many of the necessary out
houses attached to dwellings and stores in the COM
pact parts of the city.
We do not speak for ourselves alone, but for many
others, that are in the same pilikia.
Who shall remove this nuisance? That is the
question. If le do it, we are liable to be com
planned of by the powers that be, not having the
proper means of doing it. And we earnestly request
that some suitable person may be appointed to do
this work, for which we will be willing to pay for
our share. And We are quite confident that our
n~eighbors will be thankful to do the same. 1t is full
time that this matter should be attended to.
