AMNESTY AND THE CENTEN-


Mr.. Blaine has done his worst. He
has waved the bloody shirt and haunt-
cd it insultingly into the very faces OF
the Southern members of Congress.
Even Morton has stood aghast, not SO
much at the bold impudence as at the
sudden and remarkable change in the
political tactics of his aspiring rival.
The tide, however, is subsidil g, and
soon both will be left high and dry,
upon the rocks of public disfavor.
Mr.. Blaine's effort has been appa-
rent from the beginning. He has been
seeking the Presidency by the more
moderate and conservative pathway.
lie suddenly finds himself check
mated by Bristow, who is running the
reform wing of the party pretty sue
cassfulIy. He is therefore abruptly
forced to the other side, and takes
charge Of the "blocdy shirt wing very
awlsward!y, bnt like all new converts,
lie out-Hcrods Herod. His purpose
has been from the first to insult South
ern members and outrage their feel
ings that they would be guilty of some
indiecretion of speech or conduct, III
order that the Northern heart might
be fired, and the passions engen-
dercd by the war might be renewed.
His language, his manner, and his pur-
nose have all been in keeping. But
thus far he has been most wOfully mis-
taken. Mr.. Hill has replied IN states
Ynaplike manner to his false and infa-
nous charges against the COnfederacy
and it's distinguished and venerable
cx-President. And especially have the
North Carolina III embers been severely
listed. His reading Holden's impu-
dcnt and false letter, and his own de-
c.itful use Of it, he knows, is enough
to arouse the blood of our 1neulted
members. And their great calmness
thus far. and the force with which the
cowardice and falsehoOd of the would
be President will be exposed when one
Of our III ,mbers does get the floor, will
bp. we are sure, very satisfactory to
ihe people of the State.
But Just here we must gravely CON
slider the duty of the South in this crl-
SIS. Blaine and his co-workers are en-
Gcavoring to defeat the great purposes
Of tie Centennial celebration. They fear
the result Of its healing and hallowed
influences, and nothing would delight
them more than to see the appropria-
ton defeated by the votes of Southern
members. Let them disappoint and
thwar5 the Vaccinations Of these con-
spirators against constitutional gov
ernment and brotherly love. We ask
TIL Southern members-especlally do
we appeal to the North Carolina mem
bars, to vote unanimously for the Cen
tennial appropriation, whatever may
have been their previous intention.
Let Us hoist the wretches upon their
own petard.

roo MUCH NIGGERIsM.

TOO MUCH NIGGERESM. -
We published very full synopsis of
| the evidence In the case of the State
| against VIM. H. Moore, negro poll
tician and justice of the peace, for
staying the election We trust it
claimed the attention of our readers.
No honest man who heard or read
the testimony has any doubt that
Moore was guilty and should have
been punished to the extreme extent
of the law. Yet after more than
twelve hours deliberation the jury
could not agree and were discharged,
Report says that only three of the
twelve jurors stood out for conviction.
We ask those who have not read the
testimony to do SO. Gentlemen of
undoubted character not only swear
positively to the guilt of the accused
but relate with precise accuracy th ,
very words, as well as describe the
conduct of Moore on the occasion.
The evidence for the defense was from
persons who were not present at the
time Or bore upon its face the unmis,
taxable evidences of perjury. There
can possibly be no doubt of this, and
the nine jurors, if we are corr ectly in
| formed who refused to bring in a yer
dict of guilty, have themselves com
mtted perjury, and deserve punish
ment equally with the perjured wit
| nesses.
We find little pleasure or satisfac-
ton in referring to this matter. It
shows only. that so closely are the ne
groes Of this city and county bound to
each other by associations, by oaths
and pledges, and so hostile are they to
the whites, that our very courts OF JUS
ticr are Invaded. and it becomes i'm
possible to convict any negro i'll this
county, who has the least influence,
let him be accused of what crime he
will.
Now we ask orr citizens, where all
this is to end. and how far it is to go ?
Is the community safe when negro
criminals can anI do send their friends
uson the witness stand and into the
jury box, to periure themselves to save
their guilty confederat Are our
courts to be dlshonored? aud justice to
be derided We must pause before it
is too late. There must be correc
tive applied, and that quickly. We
must recognize the negro, in the atti-
tude in which he places himself, in
hostility to law, to justice. to truth.
He outrages decency, he prostitutes
the courts of justice, he renders gov
ernment itself farce.
And we can control these matters if
| we will, and we must if we hope tor a
return to former prosperity. But be-
lieve US, it cannot be done by the exhi-
bition of sickly sentimentality towards
the negro race. Let US be just in our
dealings with them, and let our rela-
tions be bounded by the duty we owe
them as employees and laborers, and
not as co-equal fellow citizens We
can by this means thwart the machina-
tions of the miserable whites who
court them for their votes, whether
upon the hustings or in their own
houses and around their own fresides.

The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1856-1888, 1876-12-02

not fail to perceive the cause of the decrease OF
the peonle. There are numerous diseases among
them. that were unknown in former times, OF the
proper treatment Of which our people are ignor-
ant. both in regard to the care of grown people
and OF newborn infants. Hence the great ma
iority Of the deaths that occur. The most Of
these new diseases are feyers, and there are a
great many varieties OF feyers. The destructive
yenereal disease also appears in various forms,
and physicians are satisfied that it results often
in leprosy.
stSome are heard to say that the people are
decreasing because of the influence of the ancient
gods Of the land, and other similar nonsense.
The ancient gods knew nothing about the dis
eases that now prevail, for they were all dead
before these new diseases arrived. Now If these
diseases are from abroad, the only way in which
" can successfully treat them is to take the adj
vice of the people of the country from which the
diseases come. They give US the advice in brief
Sc Take care of your bodies" We Hawaiians
are an observing and initiative race in most
things when will we learn to initiate the for
eigners in this particular? There is an ancient
proverb Of Hawaii nei to this effect Take
care of the body. for we know this life is a

world is cold and uncertain.
Therefore, my friends, let us devote this day
to a serious consideration of the decadence of our
nation let us initiate a measure which shall
make the day in our memories as the beginning
of a real work for the recuperation of the people,
that our independence may indeed be perpetu-
ated. Let this be the beginning of a new era in
our history, wherein We shall show to the world
that we are earnestly and intelligently using all
proper means for the increase of our race"
The address was listened to with deep atten-
ton by the audience, and made a marked impress
sion. At it's conclusion, a Hawaiian Female
Benevolent Society was organized, with the fol-
lowing officers President, the Princess Like
like Cleghorn; Secretary, Miss E. Nihi Treas
urer, Miss Mary Parker. A future meeting was
notified, at which a permanent organization and
plan Of operations will be perfected.

HOOULU LAHUI.

There was quite a large gathering of natives at
the Kawaiahao Church on Tuesday morning, the
18th inst, by invitation of the King, who has
been recently stirring up the people to form a
Female Benevolent Society, for the general pur-
pose of aiding the sick and destitute, as well as
looking after the welfare of orphan children.
The following is a translation of the principal
portions of His Majesty's address
"MY FRIENDS 1 have invited you here on
this anniversary of the recognition of our national
independence, to say a few words on this subject
of our independence, to enquire into the causes
of the decrease of the people, and to consider the
means of arresting that decrease. On the 2Sth
of November, 1S43, now over thirty years ago,
the governments of Great Britain and France
formally recognized our independence, whereby
we were admitted into the family of nations of
the earth. We came in as q child,-a ward of
the great nations. To their liberality and gen.
crosby we owe our independence and the bless
ings flowing therefrom, which We may to-day
congratulate ourselves on possessing.
"On previous anniversaries of this day, we
have been accustomed to devote the time to re-
joicings, but now let us for q moment seriously
consider the state of our nation.
III the year 1O1Os II dliOh uuLADSISu NOt
far from lO0, 900 souls. How many do we num-
Der to-day? When the census shall be taken in
1873, it will probably be found, after the lapse
of 35 years, that We are less than 60 900, show
ing that during these few years there have been
&C, 1000 more deaths than births. That is at the
rate of over l 900 a year decrease. These figures
do not lie. They show very plainly that we as a
nation are on the path to extinction, and that at
the present rate of decrease but sixty more years
will be required to see the end. Where then
will be our race, and what becomes of the hide
pendence Day of which we are now so proud?
Z" 1t would seem as if our house is built on the
sand, upon which the floods of destruction have
come and are washing away our foundations, so
that tie structure must soon fall. Can we not
turn aside this stream of death and save the ma
tion? 1t is folly for us to take pride in our posi-
ton as an independent government, if we are
compelled to acknowledge to ourselves, and to
the great nations of the earth, our inability to
help ourselves. While in front we present a de-
lusive show of life, behind is death and destruc-
ton. Nor is it right to say that God is destroy
ing the people on account of their sins. Let us
not thus presumptuously accuse Him of being
unmerciful.
elf we will but use our own eyes, we shall
