Those CA-TERPILLARs.-The Ga=eHe says that
owing to the large increase of mynah birds, mot a
caterpillar is to be seen in this region (Honolulu)
while at points outside Of this favored range of the
birds The grass has been destroyed. This would be a
very pretty and pleasing statement in favor of the
usefulness of the mynahs, if it were true, as unfortu-
nately it is not. Right here and now, in the imme-
date neighborhood Of the city, on the plains and
elsewhere where the birds abound, caterpillars do
much more ,-in such immense quantities
that it would be simply impossible for the former to
make any perceptible impression on the mass. M
doubt the myndh would not refuse q fat caterpillar
now and again; but we don't believe they prefer
them as a regular diet, for the bird is something of
an epicure and delights to range from a stolen beef
steak to a nest of pigeons or doves eggs. Chickena
are very good at destroying the vermin. so far as
their capacities go; and turkeys are better. But the
plague is usually Of but brief duration.

WHAT WE SHALL CONE TO-We learn that it is
the intention of the management of a certain plan
tation on Hawaii to use coal hereafter instead of
wood as fuel to run their Mill. This is not done
because the woods of that locality have given out,
for such is not the case, but from q desire to pre-
serve the forests as conservators of the rainfall.
The use of coal as fuel is what we shall all be OBJ
liged to come to before many years are past, I'M
less there are some more farsighted planters like
the one we have mentioned.

TROOPS IN THE SOUTH.
Measures to Insure a Fair Election.

Measures to Insure a Fair Election.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 4.-There was lengthy
conference at the War Department this morn
ing previous to issuing the order to U. S. Mar
shals in regard to the approaching elections. 1t
was attended by Secretary Cameron, Robson
and Chandler, Attorney General Taft, General
Sherman, Gov. Chamberlain, and Senator Pat
terson of South Carolina. The object uf the
meeting was to take preparatory steps to carry
out the order in case OF necessity, and to have
full understanding as to the military giving
aid to United States Marshals.
After very free exchange of views on the
subject, during which Gov Chamberlain and
Senator Patterson urged the necessity of mill
the Cabinet present expressed their opinions
at length, and also the desires of the President
upon that topic, it was finally decided that a
copy of the circular letter of instruction of the
Attorney General be referred to Gen. Sherman
for his information and guidance. He will
the information of the army, in which will be
published in full the instructions of the Attor-
ney General. In case of disturbance the
marshal need only call on the military officer
in command. Proper military force will be
furnished to him without delay.
Gov. Chamberlain came to Washington by
invitation of the Attorney General and Secre-
tary of War to confer with them in regard to
affairs in South Carolina, and to secure fair
election in that state. 1t has been represented
that there are eight or ten counties where the
Republicans are inundated from prosecuting
the canvass, and apprehensions are expressed
that many of them will be prevented from vot.
ing on the day of election The greatest dam
ger to the elective franchise is feared in South
Carolina, and hence that state is more particu-
larry the subject of attention. Troops will be
stationed at the points of thre med disturb
ance so as to be employed in case of necessity,
which 1T is hoped will not arise. The instruc-
tons of the Attorney General are the stronges t
ever issued from the Department of Justice
With regard to elections, and the Secretary of
War is in strong accord with the Attorney
General for their enforcement.

THE NEW YORK DEMOCRACY.
A New Convention Called.

"A new CONVENTION CaIed.
ALBANY, Sept 4-D. Magone, Jr., chairman
OF the Democratic State Committee has issued
a call for the regathering of the State Conven-
ton to nominate candidate for Governor in
place of HOratio Seymour, to be held at Sara
toga on Wednesday Sept. 18th.
seymour's Letter Declining the Nominal
UTICA. N. Y, Sept. 4-Governor Seymour
has written letter to the chairman of the
state committee declining the nomination of
Governor. He says:
"a recent illEess has untitled me for mental
or physical exertions. My own opinion, con-
frmed by the judgment Of my physicians, con
vinces me that 1 am unable at this time to per-
form the duties devolving upon the Governor
Of New York.
1 would cheerfully sacrifice my own purposes
and feelings to meet the wishes of my own
friends. l would not hesitate to peril my
health to uphold thsse principles in which I
believe or to promote the public welfare, but /
feel that should sacrifice the interests of the
party which placed me in nomination if &C.
cepted its action.
Even the superior strength of the party with
which act could not elect ticket with the
known fact that its nominee for Governor was
unequal to the performance of the labors of
that Office. could not conscientiously enter
upon them. 1 cannot do my friends the wrong
of placing them in false positions by trying to
do 80. L therefore feel constrained to decline
the nomination.
While it is great sorrow to me that can
not on this occasion meet the wishes of those
to whom am deeply Indebted for so many fa-
vors, yet am satisfied that my action will only
subject them to some present Inconvenience
which in the end will prove to be to their ad-
vantage"
He continues at some length in relation to
the campaigns, arraigns the Republican party
and predicts The success of the Democracy in
the state and in the nation.
The Portland daily press., 1876-09-05

Democratic party. 1 firmly believe that ma
jority of the Southern whites were opposed to
secession, but they were dragged into it by the
leaders of the Southern Democracy: And since
the war there has been large and increasing
Southern white element in favor OF honestly
accepting the situation, and dealing fairly with
the colored men. The whites of the middle
and lower classes see that their condition has
been improved under Republican rule. That
element is today in majority, but they are
compelled to shut their mouths, and even &C
quiesce in and support the law-defying course
of the fire-eaters who have the complete con-
troll of the Southern Democratic party. This
we'll meaning white element would be crushed
out with the national government in the hands
of the Democracy; they are daily siren gthened
with the government in the "hands'' of the
Republicans, and ultimately they will assert
their claims.
Third The Southern fre-eaters, strengthen
ing themselves by promising. that they will
secure the payment by the nation of the dam
ages caused by the war, have Inaugural ted a
reign of terror in the South, in order to prevent
the colored men from voting the Republican
ticket, and thus encouraging the better white
element to stand up against wrongs Ia states
like Virginia, where the colored population
cannot exercise enough political influence to
interfere with the fre-eaters Designs this reign
of terror is much milder than in states like
Mississippi, Louisiana, etc. But even in Vir-
ginia it is felt, as will be seen by case in that
state which came under our own observation.
| A colored Republican was assassinated, and
conclusive evidence was presented to the grand
| jury. of the murderers. The jury, under the
| influence of the fre-eaters, declined to 1ndict
the murderers, simply because the murderers
| were Democrats and the colored man Repub-
lican. A Democratic newspaper, publ shed
near by, threatened that any man who aided in
bringingipg the perpetrator of this crime to
| justice, would be dealt with.
Fourth. know that the colored men, with
hardly an exception, look upon the continue
ton of the Republican party in power as neces-
s.ry to secure any adequate protection. 1t is
notorious at the South that when any colored
man got into the Democratic party, he must be-
either intimida ted, fooled or bribed. Hence I
can most confidently say that this Mr.. DuDjee
shows himself either fool or knave in de-
clarng that the interests of the colored men lie
with the success of the Democratic party. He
and every other observing Southern man knows
that the authors of Hamburg m assacres will be
protected instead of punished by Democratic
influences at the South.
