Grants Dogged Obstinacy.

IrtoIU tHo O'HunudISu1 WcoscHSof'I
Attorney General Williams has not yet been con-
frmed as Chief Justice, the Senate hesitating to
consummate so ungraceful an act in the face Of
overwhelming evidence of his utter un1itness for
the high position, as well on account OF inferior
legal qualifications as other objections founded on
transactions in Wisconsin and oregon with which
his name is associated, involving ms honor aud in-
regrity as q man. The President, with dOgged OBJ
stlnacy. persists in forcing the Senate TO a vote
instead OF respecting the popular Judgment
against the appor tment as one unfit to be made
and withdrawing the nomination, and 1t remains
to be seen whether the Bench aud Bar are to be
Inundated and insulted and the country outraged
by the triumph Of Executive dctation or whetner
Senators possess sufficient courage to assert their
independence and reject an appointment which
their honest judgment must condemn.

The Bitter Troubles OF President Grant.
From the vicksburg Herald
The troubles OF the Presidents favOrite for the
CHIEF Justiceship seem to multiply. Oregon ex-
poses corruption and fraud Iowa shows that
three-fourths of his decisions while on circuit in
that State were reversed by the Supreme Court,

produces growing uneasiness in the Presidential
household, yet the President shows no signs OF
weakening In the least Indeed, though ex-
tremey sensitive on the question OF the confrma-
ton, he takes occasion to speak out plainly and
rather bluntly his contempt Tor those senators
who are not disposed TO endorse and approve his
taste and Judgment in the affair. He SPEAKS more
In anger than in sorrow and his feelings are ire

between Bishop Wnitehouse ofIllinois. and the Rev.

insertion OF DR.. Temples and Dean Stanleys names
In this commission speaks for ITSELF The mention

DIR. Pussy on Con fe ssion.

DR.. Pussy has made public a document setting
forth the views which he and his cosignataries
entertain on the subject Of confession and absolu-
ton thus
They "believe anc confess" that Christ has in
stituted "a special means for the remission of sin
after baptism and for the relief Of c0nsciences,
which special means the Church OF England retains
ard administers part OF her Catholic heritage.n
This special means'' is defined to be dissolution.
The last clause OF the declaration is a qualifying
one. The signitaries say:-"While we hold that
the iormuaries Of the Church OF England do not
authorize any priest to teach that private con-
1ession Is condition Indispensable to the for
giveness OF sin after baptism, and that the
Church OF England does not justify any parish
priest In requiring private confession as condi-
ton OF receiving Holy Communion, we also hold
that all who, under the circumstances above
stated, claim the privilege OF private confession
are entitled TO IT, and that the clergy are directed
under certain circumstances to move persons to
such confession. In insisting on this as the plain
meaning OF the authorized language OF the Church
OF England we believe ourselves to be discharginR
our duty as her faithful Minister'S"
The signatures are almost exclusively those OF the
most pronounced members OF the High Anglican
party. They include those Of DR.. Benson, Mr.. Car
ter, Archdeacon Churton, Archdeacon Denison,
Canon King, Mr.. Ltddell, Canon Liddon, Mr.. Mac
Coll and Mr.. Mackon0chie. Canon Gregory's name
does not appear.

Searching for Landaulette Presidents.
The Little Rock (Ark) Gazette says that Williams
has been searching for iandauette precedents, and
thus apologies for him.
Williams has done nothing more than follow the
general custom OF the stan officers Of the present
administration. 1t has become customary for
several Of the Cabinet Ministers and a great num-
Der OF officials OF lower rank to keep stylish car

OF the departments to perform the duties OF coach

Naval station Mt Navigator. I.I,rd

WASHINGTON, May 25.-Representative Houghton
has introduced bill authorizing the President of the
United States to enter into negotiations with the
Samoan Commercial Land Company for the purchase
of all such harbOr privileges, landing ground beach
property, and lands adjoining the harbor of Page
Pago, the Island of Tutuila in the Samoan group
of Polynesau Islands of the South Pacific Ocean, for
the establishment of naval and coast station 1t is
provided that the aggregate of lands be pur
chased shall not exceed 900 acres and that this Act
shall not be SO construed to authorize any nego-
tiation for the annexation political control Of said
lands and that before said purchase shall be fully ex
ecuted and treaty with the native sovereign authori-
ties of the island shall be secured so as to protect the
Government of the United States in the sole and ex-
elusive occupation USE and government Of said rights
and lands with a due regard to the proper and nee
essary of the by the natives of said island
and that the sum to be paid for such rights, priv-
legos, and lands shall not exceed $3.50, 900.
The bill was referred to the Committee on Foreign
Affairs, which has already under consideration the
report of Colonel Steinberger the United States Gov
Agent, who was sent out to examine and re-
port upon the character and value of said islands.
Colonel Steinberger was sent out at the instance of
VI
mercial and Land Company, with view to the an
nexation of the islands the establishment of pro-
tectorate, if desired by the natives Upon his return
steinbergcr recommended the appointment of resi-
dent Commissioner, with diplomatic powers, similar
those of the Commissioner the Sandwich Islands
This believed to be in the interests of the Land
Company, preliminary step toward annexation,
and the Foreign Relations Committee refused to re-
port in favor of the scheme. The Navy Department,
has heretofore indicated desire to establish naval
and coaling station at the harbor of Page Pago,
but various schemes for private profit have been in
variby brought forward and attached to the prOpo-
stiOn of the government, with the hope of carrying
the whole through the government influence.
1t is stated that this bill is not the urged by
the company, whose chief aim was to secure for their
large possessions the right to introduce free of duty
into the United States products of their lands The |
bill now introduced is the proposition favored by the
Navy Department originally, and is said to be divest-
ed of all the speculative features subsequently at
tached to its. r. Bulletin.

To what is Hawaii Coming:

Mr. EDrToR.-It was sad, very sad, to see several
members of National Legislature going down to the
steamers wharf on Saturday EVENING" in state of in
toxication. Whether they went to Molokai on the
steamer know not; but the report that the steamer
was delayed there several hours to wait for some
parties who had been indulging too freely leads me
to infer that they did go.
Now, Mr.. Editor, wish to ask the friends of good
government how long this state of things can last
and Hawaii retain its selfrespect or the respect of
other nations? When the makers of our lawsset

his bringing into New London l6 l54 bbls of whale

been equalled by any whaling captain sailing out Of
New London either before since, and probably is
without a parallel in the whaling history of the
globe Three of these voyages occupied just nine
months each and on each of the three his catch was
over 5000 barrels. After this he made two very
large voyages in the Chelsea, and then retired He
afterwards entered the firm of Perkins & Smith,
whaling agents, and during his connection with
that house went as master of the bark Laureus,
which was the first to engage in the whaling fishery
at Hurds Island. This voyage in the Laurens oceu-
pied fourteen months, and the catch amounted TO
$500 bbs Notwithstanding the loss OF tbs schooner
