What thew Saw of Us.

The following singular tissue of misrepresentation
under the head of g Hawaiian News appears in
the Sydney Morning Herald of April 10. 1t is part
of a letter by one il Odgiers, who appears to have
been a passenger on the CITY Of Melbourne. on her
last trip down South. We would like very well to
know who 8 posted Nh. Odgiers on Hawaiian affairs.
"The Government is decidedly behind the age.
Conservatism there is of the most non-progressiye de-
%scription, and the missionary influence is SO great that
the pastors of churches virtually control everything
as they wish, irrespective of considerations of policy,
whether political, commercial, social, or otherwise.
Without doubt, the greatest drawback to the pros
perity of the Hawaiian Islands is the connection which
is sought to be maintained between religion and pol
itics. All the missionaries are politicians. Every
pastor of a church seeks to legislate for the temporal
welfare Of his flock, and as a consequence there is
much antagonism between secular and spiritual in
terests, so that much uncertainty and confusion exist
in all the departments of government. 1t will be
readily understood therefore, that stagnation in bus
mess appears to be chronic, and that the merchants
and shopkeepers, restricted in their ideas of business
morality, exact the highest prices possible for their
goods from strangers. OF course, solid commercial
prosperity under such circumstances, cannot be ex-
pected; and as there are no mercantile or trade asso-
Citations in the place, there is very little prospect of
an improved state of things for q long time to come. -

ssThe subFo Of immigration has always much oc-
cupied the ss ntIon Of the government Of this coun-
try. and II y o-set with many difficulties. The
events Of the last two years have prevented anything
being effected IN this direction during that period.
aud 70 its stOppagC may lie largely attributed the Sta
t;ouary condition Of the commerce. and revenues Of
the Kingdom. L viii be difficult for this Assembly
10 specify the particular methods which should be
adopted, or the place from whence people should &c
brought, as so much depends upon the circumstances
Of the hour. l would recommend, therefore, that
all these details be Jeff TO the King il Council and
the Board Of Immigration, and that this Assembly do
authorize the government 20 effect aloan Of $4,000,
TO be expended as opportunities occur IN bringing
suitable immigrants 10 this country from such places
and in such manner as they may deem advisable and
find practicable
ain connection with this subject, il has always
been considered that the want Of land which could be
offered for sale at reasonable rates, in lots as required,
10 those who might feel inclined 10 make q home in
these Islands, has been one impedIment IN the way Of
attracting q permanent aud valuable class OF settlers,
who would, by cultivating the soil, or by introduc-
ing and raising foeks and herds, add much 10 the
general wealth and prosperity. Any measures which
would facilitate the purchase Of such lands by those
whose object must be to improve them, cannot be
otherwise than beneficial to every interest IN the
Kingdom.
Amongst the public improvements for which
money may be adyantageously borrowed, none seems
more necessary than another inter-island steamer, so
that . regular communication between the different
islands Of the group may be kept up.
Although | have referred in this report 10 the
stationary condition Of our commerce and revenues,
there seems nothing TO prevent an early return TO
the condition of progress and prosperity which was
exhibited by the statistics during the ten years before
1869. This must be effected, however, by the people
through the Legislature and the government, uniting
in devsisg and carrying out measures which will
encourage the Development of the great natural re-
sources Of the group"

New Zealand.

From the Auckland Herald of April 11th, we clip
the following:
1t is satisfactory to have to chronicle the fact that
great interest is being exhibited in matters educational
at the present time, and that steps are being taken
towards the formation of a girls high school in Auck-
land. Whilst on the subject of woman's rights -
we may mention incidentally that female telegraphists
are beginning to be distributed throughout the colony,
Dunedin and Nelson at present Boosting of young
lady "lightning fashers.' We may also refer to the
great interest exhibited in Auckland by females in
the cause of Good Templary, the sisterhood of this
order being a very extensive one.
Labor continues scarce in the province, especially
so that of females. Though the rates of wages have
materially increased during the past six months it is
almost impossible to obtain a decent female servant of
any class. and several hundred would soon be alb
sorbed. There is n constant demand for all classes of
mechanics, and especially for good farm servants. As
showing what the rate of wages expected by day la
borers is We may refer to a meeting of men who work
upon the wharf, held one evening this week, and at
t %@lcht TIE Ap2sGGd le Of wages should be fixed for general
cargo at los per day of eight hours; if less than one
day, to be at per hour Is Cd; overtime, Is per hour;
nothing to be accepted under this rate for one hour.
For coal, hours from s a. NJ. to 5 p. NJ is Cd per hour;
overtime, IS per hour.
In the present Ministry of New Zealand there is
one Jew, one Englshman, two Irishmen, two Scotch
men, and two Maories. Before Mr.. Rathgate's re-
tirement the Scotchmen were in the ascendancy.

II Is VERY PROPER, and perhaps necessary, that
there should be an Auditor of Public Accounts,
as provided for in the bill which passed the As
sembly the other day; but we arc not so clear
that the duties should be imposed on the officer
known as the Registrar of Public Accounts. One
might suppose that he would have his time pretty
we'll occupied in the duties pertaining to his own
Office, without finding leisure to look into the ae-
counts Of all the other officers of the Government
and report thereon in detail to the Legislature, as
contemplated in the act in question. Besides,
who is to audit the accounts of the Registrar him
self? We may be in error, but our conception
of an auditor has always been that he should be
n person quite separate and disinterested from the
persons and things concerning which he was to
examine.

Mr.. EDITOR Some pains having been taken to
circulate very generally about town a statement that
I intended to issue shortly a paper devoted to the adj
vocacy of Annexation, l desire to state through tine
medium of your large circulation, that the whole
story is an invention, out and out, of some of the ly-

Disappointment and Disgust

A young man who was in Covington on
Friday, in the interest OF new heating
apparatus, heard that Major P-was
building a new house. and speedily hunt
ed up the veteran.
81 hear you are building a new house."
he said to the major.
Il amt exactly building one," said
the major, in the tone of a man who
didn't care to commit himself, 'T have
built it."
Exactly! Glad to hear it." said the
agent. "Have you made any arrange
ments for heating the new building?"
and the agent looked anxious.
well, no" muttered the major, with a
stare, as if the heating Of the building
was subject that had entirely slipped
his mind.
$50 much the better for you," exclaim-
ed the agent, "as think have just the
article you want, combined economy,
heat and cleanliness. We have sold
thousands of them throughout the coun-
try, and have yet to hear OF a single
failure on the part of the heater to do all
that is claimed for it. II is the sum to-
tai OF every excellence yet produced in
the numerous devices patented for heat
ing buildings, and am quite confident
that / can demonstrate to you the supe-
rior advantages which the heater enjoys
over all others. Where is your house z"
"On Essex street." said the major.
Suppose you jumpin the carriage with
me, and take a drive over there. should
like to see it."
The major consented, and getting his
overcoat, he mounted the seat with the
hopeful and eloquent ag:nt, and they
drove off. On the way the agent rapidly
went over the many favorable points Of
the admirable heater, and was much
gratified at the impressions he had tvi-
IDENTIFY made on his companion.
Arriving in front of the new building, q
large and rather unpretending structure,
the agent said:
What are you going to do with this,
major Make tenement or q boarding

"Oh, no." said the major, as he careful
ly reached the ground and looked inno-
Gently around, cts an ice house."
WHAT" screamed the agent.
TT is an ice house," replied the major
blandly.
The last seen of that agent he was ap-
plying the lash to his horse, and tearing
out of the neighborhood at marvellous
pace.

Il Change Necessary.
From the N. Y. Jour. of Commerce.

From the N. Y. Jour. of Commerce.
We have a very decided feeling that
a political revolution in this State at
present IS OF more Importance than all
the other issues in the canvass. There
will be no revival of trade, and no per-
manent recovery from the present e1-
treme depression in business circles, un-
til there is an entire change in the ad-
ministration of public affairs. When
we stated this, plainly, at the close of the
summer holidays, and suggested our own
remedy for the existing financial troubles,
some of our contemporaries in the parti-
san harness ridiculed our fears, and pre-.
dicted that our representations would be
overthrown by the prosperity soon to be
developed on every side. The season fol-
such activity has gone by, and their pre-.
dictions have not been realized. We are
soon to enter upon O winter VIII: :ch prom.
ises more hardship and enforced idfeness
among the working classes than has been
experienced at any time since the close OF
the war.
If the people are not content to sit
down quietly under such a prospect. it is
high time for them to give some express
sion of their impatience, and we know OF
none so signal, and likely to be of such
essential service to themselves and the
country at large, as q rebuke to the DOM
inant party by the proposed revolution in
this State.
Such a change would be worth more
THIN the most convincing logic of the
soundest political economist in forcing
upon Congress at its coming session the
adoption of some remedial measures to
re-establish financial affairs upon q soun-
der basis. We do not think that any
thing which the majority in Congress
can do will roll buck the tide of reyolp.
ton. We think that the great mass OF
nou- partisan people are heartily sick Of
Grantism, by whatever political name Il
may be called, and of the reign of The
Corrupt horde of office-holders now prev.
ing upon the vitals of the nation,
