Law-Making in Hawaii.

iTCJ ai..i '.-i.. 4
In Hawaii the Legislature, composed
of a House of Mobiles and House OF
Representatives, makes the laws, but if
their Acts are not approved by the
King, they have no effect. The mobiles
are made by the King, and the reprrseu
tatives are elected by the people. In
order to be voter, one must have a
certain income and be Of good standing
in the community; and where women
possess these req quiroments, they have
the privilege of voting. Cut of the
eleven representatives, five are women.
Any man who drinks or swcars cannot
sit on q jury. There arc no bcggars,
every man aud woman who is able being
compelled to work, aud the Govern
ment gives cmployme to those who
have none The two prcdominating
reli gions are the Catholic and Congrcya
tional. 1t is customary for young wo
men to "pop the question" to young
men. Crimes involving social virtue
and purity are punished by heavy fines,
and Sabbath breaking aud swearing by
small fines. If wonnaus husband
abscnts himself from her four ye.rs she
can marry again, aud the code Of laws
has this provision 1.-two married per
sons do not live happily together, but
quarrel, and become famous for the
same, they shall be confined in irons
each night separately IN the anne ccll
until they cease quarrel;ng"

SHILOH, VA, Jan. 5.-During the session
OF Richmond County Court, at Warsaw, yester-
day, George Burreil, coored, made an assault
upon Mr.. Duraud Shackeford, striking that
geulie,uan u farouS blow with his fist. MIR.
Corru Kobertson and Mr. James R. Short, who

Nearly The whole OF the sea . was severed, from
which the blood flowed protusely. Doctors
syiuor and BeieId readered the necessary
surgical assistance. 1t is thought the wound
may prove fatal No arrest had been made
when your correspondent lett the village, an
hour or two after the occurrence. No provo
cation at all had been given BY any Que of the
gentlemen named for his desperate attack.
From the fact nat the assault was first made
upon Mr. Shack ietord aud concluded upon Mr..

Mr.. Gordon said gu the previous day 10 reply
to some harsh remarks addressed TO him oy
the Senator from Vermont (Alr. Eduunds) ne
had been betrayed into making some remarks
about responsibility as applied to the Sena-
tor By that word he had done an injustice to
the Senator trom Vermont. The responsibility
of that Senator as statesman, as Jurlst, ano
as member of society was, in bis opinion, OF
the highest order aud most honorable charac-
ter. Having done an injustice to the. Senator
he wished now, 10 the presence OF the Senate
TO EXPRESS to him his sincere regrets. For
biddeo as Senators are to erase anything OF
personal nature, he now made the only rrpara-
ton left to him.
MIR. Edmunds desired to express his ool'ga'

handsome manner 10 which he had just spoken
He felt satisfied that no ref ction the Senator
