DEATH OF MAJOR E. H. BOYD.

Though not unexpected, the announcement Of
the decease Of this gentleman on Thursday nom
ing Inst, was received with universal regret
throughout the community. One Of the fore
most among his race for intelligence and business
capacity, he was thoughtful ind painstaking in
whatever ne undertook, generous and amiable in
disposition, 4 kind husband and father, "a good
citizen and a loyal Hawaiian. lie was the oldest
son Of the late Robert Boyd, who, under Kane
hameha LII. in 1856 held the position Of
Sheriff Of Oahu his mother was n falf-caste, 4
daughter Of VIM. Harbottle, one Of the early
foreign residents of Honolulu. He was born at
Palama, Oct. 8, 1894, and was consequently
near the completion of his 4lst year at the time
Of his death. Major Boyd sat in the Legislative
Assembly during two terms as a Representative
for Honolulu, proving himself a ready debater
and a useful member. On the accession of His
present Majesty, he was appointed a Privy Coun-
cillOr on the 18th OF March, of the same year,
Il member of the Board of immigration; on the
2Sth of May, he was decorated as Knight Com
panion Of the Order of Kamehaaleha | and on
the I'd of November he was appointed to the
responsible Office of Chamberlain to the ROYAL
Household. He held the rank of Major on the
staff Of Governor DominiS. He leaves Il widow
and several children to mourn his loss but by
his prudence and forethought he had acquired a
respectable property. We understand his life
was insured for $4,000, gold, in the Northwestern
Mutual, of Milwaukee, Wis, of which company
VIM. G. Irwin & Co., are the agents here also
for $4,000 in the " Manhattan - of New York, of
which J.. fl. Patty, Esq, is agent. The funeral is
set for Sunday, the 18th instant, from the late
residence of the deceased in. Pauoa Valley.

IT IS CURRENTLY reported that m Embassy will
be sent by this Government, to Washington, dur
ing tbe session Of Congress that meets in De
next. OH business connected with the
final legislation required to carry into effect the
reciprocity treaty Should this he 80, we beg TO
suggest tina, n revision of our postal treaty with
the United States be made 4 part Of the duty Of
such Embassy. The following, from the FrieRd
for the current month, is pertinent
HAWAIIAN AxD CSIrrp STATES PosTNL TREATY.-
In these days, when postal treaties are being re-
adjusted and settled, we do hope the proper officials
will remedy oRe evil connected With our present
postal law. Il refers 10 newspapers, requiring =
prepayment Of two cents on papers sent to the
intel States. and four cents to Europe. This Law
is most inconvenient and absurd. Suppose a person
in the United States would s@sd a newspaper hither.
he Is not required TO hunt up a two cent Hawaiian
postage stamp; now why should the good people Of
the Hawaiian Islands be required to prepay not only
two cents Hawaiian, but fro cents .4msrioaa This
matter - auires looking into. Ought not the letter
postage il III reduced to eome into harmony with all
civilized nations? Postage laws and treaties will
never arrive at their proper basis until the simple
principle is adopted, that each nation pays and col
lects its own postage, and then n letter be allowed to
go the ends Of the earth and over the whole world.
This is the only fair and correct principle then a let
ter or paper with Hawaiian postage goes to any part
Of the world, 50 a letter or paper, starting in Russia,
France or China, aud there the postage being paid
it may have a free traDsit all over the earth or may
circumnavigate the globe. without "let or him
drance." We hope our island newspapers will dis
cuss fhis subject until the evil is remediei.

Col. steinberger's Coup d'Etat.

The Rochester Democrat and Chronicle, an ably
conducted and influential journal Of New York
State, after a very correct description of the Navi-
gator Islands, their extent, their resources, &C.,
thus speaks Of Col. Steinberger:
Is It is apparent that the lines of Col. Steinberger's
life have fallen in pleasant places. From all we can
learn, he is worthy of the good fortune which has
visited him, as a result of his sagacity and perseyer-
ance. He was q brave officer Of the Union army,
and was commissioned by this government to visit
the Navigator islands, with the view, not, as we
understand, of annexing them, but of reporting
upon their condition and the practicability ofmaking
such commercial arrangements as would enure to
the mutual advantage of both countries. Great
Britain had long been in treaty with the various
chiefs of the islands for an arrangement by which
they should become attaches or colonies of the British
Empire. This arrangement was nullifed by the
exertions Of Colonel Steinberger, who reported his
acts and doings to our government. His entire
report, made about a year ago, was very elaborate,
setting forth the natural advantages of the islands,
and the benefits TO be derived from forming q close
connection between them and this country.
"He returned to the Samoa islands a few months
ago, with the title of United States commissioner,
sailing from San Francisco, with the war vessel sent
by our government as an escort to King Kalakaus.
The result of his labors is the formation of q consti-
tutional monarchy. the leading chief being made
king, and himself becoming prime minister. He is
certainly to be congratulated upon his own advance
ment. and we trust his efforts may not be without
service to his native land.
"Of course, while Colonel Steinberger's exertions
