Ben. BUTLER, ex-CongressAan from the district Of
Essex, in Massachusetts,, has written a letter in reply
to enquiries as to the exact scope Of the famous
Civil Rights Act. Among other questions asked was
this "Whether colored men are entitled to the
privileges Of saloons1'' To this Mr.. Butler answers
81 understand by saloon you mean drinking
saloons, and am happy to say that the Civil Rights
Bill does not give any right TO a colored man to 60
into a drinking saloon without the leave of the pro-
prietor. and am very glad that it does not. I am
willing TO concede, as a friend to the colored man,
that the white race may have at least this one supe-
rior privilege to the colored man, that they can drink
in bar-rooms and saloons, and l never shall do any
thing to interfere with the exercise Of that high and
distinctive privilege. I would not advocate a bill
which should give that right to the colored nan. If
/ were to vote for any bill on this subject at all, it
would be one to keep the colored man out Of the
drinking saloons; and l hope no barkeeper viii ever
let a colOred man have a glass of liquor at any bar
open for drinking. Indeed, I should be glad, when
ever a colored man should go into a drinking saloon
for the purpose Of drinking st the hsa If somebody
would at once take him and put him out Of it, doing
him as little injury as possible. He could do the
colorsd man no greater kindness"

Nh. EDITOR Walking up Nuuanu street the
other day, when near Beretanis, my ears were sa-
luted by the strains of martial music and 1 saw aerOwd
Of natives gathered. On inquiry l learned that the
occasion was a serenade to 8 native lady Of high
rank by the band attached to the German war ship.
Well, you will ask. what Is there wrong in that
Nothing, perhaps, SO far as our German friends Of
the .frcona were concerned; but there are consider
ations connected with the matter which made me
regret to see the demonstration, and further regret
ted to hear that a foreign official residing here was
presumably the cause Of its having taken place. In
view Of the recent if not now existing condition Of
political feeling among the native people, it was 10
say the least, bad taste all Misunderstanding, as be-
fore, the officers of the ship, who are supposed TO
know nothing Of our domestic heart-burnings The
effect upon the minds Of the natives, a considerable
proportion of whom are ignorant and easily misled.
is what is to be deprecated. After the mischief and
subsequent misery that was witnessed some fifteen
months ago resulting from the influence of mistaken
political views in the direction which l have indi-
Gated, it seems to me that we cannot be too careful
to avoid anything which may, however remotely,
serve to keep alive or rekindle the embers Of party
feeling. To any one who is not pretty conversant
with the native character, il will be astonishing
what preposterous theoretical structures they viii
raise on so slight a foundation as the occasion to
which 1 have alluded. The story. with all its grow
ing embellishments, passes from lip to lip. all over
the islands, and the effect. it is easy to understand,
is not salutary. A. d. C.

BUSINESS on LANAI.-By an arrival from the
wool-growing island of our friend w. NJ. Gibson,
we learn that one day during last week, three YES
sells were lying at anchor in the harbor of Awalua,
busily engaged, the RamaiIe in loading wool, the
War,rick in discharging freight for the ranch, and
the RdpiOlGni in loading sheep. This looks like
business.

GIT A PRosPEcTUs.-The speculation in mining
stocks in California in these days is in many respects
comparable to the stock gambling of Wall street in
Newt York. Rash and unskillful manipulators Of
the market are often badly bitten, and some who
to-day believed themselves wealthy are tomorrow
utterly ruined, by the sudden fluctuations in prices
Of stocks. But we have before US a Prospectus" Of 4
company-tbe New England Tunnel and Smelling
Co."-an association formed for ths purpose of mi
ming and reducing ores in the Mineral King mining
district, Tulare county, Cal, that seems to US to be
place on such a basis and to be governed by such
circumstances and conditions, that its stock is not
liable to become the subject of wild speculation.
The capital stock is $500, 900, divided into 100000
parts Of IS each, and the shares are unassessable.
Further information may be obtained of Mr.. C. S.
Barlow, auetioneer, Of this city.

An EsrHETIC THIEF.-One night during the past
week, the front enclosure of a residence on Alakea
street was entered by some person, who quietly and
carefully proceeded to dig up and transplant into a
fOwer-pot, a fine Gardenia plant, about ready to
flower. The fact of the fower-pot is evidenced by
the mark in the soil where it stood, while the digging
was done.

He Told the Jury.
Memphis Avalanche, July p.
In the Criminal Court yesterday a full
jury was obtained in the Waddy TbOmp-
son trial.
The indictments were read, charging
Waddy Thompson with stealing horses,
LIQUORS, etc, OF the 10Th Of October, 1874,
the property Of W. r. Hendrix, d. Pat
rachi, and W. b. Gates. Mr.. w. B. Gates
was the first witness called, and was fol-
lowed by II. f. Andrews, Clerk Of the u.
$. Court, and L. b. Eaton, u. ). Marshal.
ii. b. Carroll, who was concerned with
Thompson in taking the goods alleged to
be stolen TO Mound City, was next called.
It WAS generally understood that he was to
appear for defendant, but having under
stood 10 was the intention Of ThOmp-
son and mis- friends 10 70
against him. CarrOll-whO is indicted
for perjury-determired to tell all he knew
in reference % the matter. He said he
first became acquainted with Thompson,
through Col. Arnett, Of st. Louis, in Au-
gust or September, 1874. Carroll was then
keeping the Commercial Hotel, and he had
a conversation with Arnett and Thompson
at the hotel, in reference to going on the
replevin bond. Arnett told him that he
and Thompson had come TO Memphis for
the purpose Of recovering some goods from
Hendrix, Carter & Co, and asked him to
assist them, which he promised to do.
Arnett said they wantei him to take
charge Of the goods, and also wanted his
assistance in the matter Of the repleYin
bond. He told Arnett that he was not
worth a cent, except the furniture
IN his room, valued at about
500. Arnett said that made no differ
ence, and that ne would lose nothing
BY going Oh the bond. Thompson also
called to see him, and told him that he
CThOmpsOn) lived in Missouri, which gave
him the right 10 replevin in the United
States Courts; also said they were going TO
give a straw bond. Carroll at that time
was in trouble, and had been arrested on
two separate charges. Arnett told him if
he would help them, they would help him,
and the cases were soon after dismissed.
Carroll said that he signed the replevin
bond at ThompsOn's suggestion, as BeDja-
min F. Carroll, whereas his right name is
Homer B. Cauoll. Thompson told him
not TO sign his true name. The goods, as
charged, were taken and loaded on boat,
under the supervision Of AUnett and
Thompson. Thompson ordered the boat
to be showed out, and the goods were taken
to Mound City.
After the examination of Carroll, tae
court adjourned 10 Q A. VI. to-day.

Europe Will be almost an entire failure.
and consequently the demand upon our

will ensure the producer good paying
prices for the products Of his farm for

Governors book. as was the custom,

THE CONTESTED LANDS.
One-third Of the contested lands
have been owned by private citizens for
seventy years, under the grant from
the United States. Four millions of
acres are still unentered. The inhabi-
ted part is filled with towns, intersect-
ed by railroads, built up in villgges
and laid out in farms. If the heirs
were wealthy enough they might begin
proceedings to dispOsses the inhabi-
tants Of SIX counties in Missouri and
other rOhnties IN Arkansas. but the
proceedings have been begun to re-
cover land warrants or patents by
which the claimants may enter the same
amount Of land anywhere else IN the
public domain. Under an act passed
in 1860, claimants TO land grants, if
successful, have a right to choose the
same amOunt Of land as they claim
from other spots. or take land warrants,
on which they may speculate as on
bonds. There are about forty claimants
who have thus far been recorded, and
others are expected. The claim is
looked upon as perfectly valid, and the
lawyer for the p aintiffs viii hold that
by the provisions Of the treaty in the
cession Of the province from France to
the United States in 1903, the grant of
Capt. Don Joseph Valliere was fully
protected and secured to him, as well
as by the laws Of nations. The case
will be tried in Jefferson City, No, IN
SeDtpmber.

CUBAN affairs were discussed by the

an article which is regarded as fore
shadowing a change in the policy Of
the United States from one Of mere

OF comparative and natural fraterniza-
