The Chairman ofthe Executive Committee read his
annual report.
The affairs of the Home, during the past year,
have been carried forward much as in former years,
under the careful and efficient management of Mr..
hiss been furnished by Mr.. Dunscombe. respecting
the number of seamen boarding in the Home during
the year 1876; 5 captains 81 officers, and ia seameu.
No record ismade of the occasional seamen, from the
ships of war and other vessels who have occasional
ly been visitors and dodgers in the Home, neither OF
the numerous strangers and transient ooarders VINO
have been there accommodated.
From the Treasurer's report il will be seen, that 4
small balance remains unexpended.
The Y. NJ. c. A. has sustained in q most COM
mendabIe and satisfactory manner their reading
room. The Importance of this feature of the es-
Enlistment is such, that it could not be dispensed
with, without serious detriment 70 the interests OF
seamena and strangers visiting Honolulu
The depository for bibles and books, has been daily
visited by sesme and others connected with ship
ming in port, while the depository for Hawaiian
books and bibles has been largely frequented byaHa-
waiians and others .
From a review of all the separate departments of
the Home, including the boarding and lodging read

its establishment, nearly q quarter OF q century ago.

DURING this Merry Christmas time, which
has brought JOY and pleasure to SO many homes,
the heavens have been generous TO the thirsty
trees and flower shrubs that give to Honolulu
such a ~park-like appearance, sending down
copious and refreshing shower of rain. Several
heavy showers have also fallen in Nuuanu
Valley. and for a time at least give security
against scarcity of water for the city but we
would suggest nevertheless that this fact should
not be allowed so operate in postponing action
in the matter of providing for a permanent
supply of water for the city. The general aud
we may say unanimous desire of the public
is that replanting the valley be resOrted to as the
surest way in which to provide water, and that
measures to that end should be taken while the
season is favorable. AS a result of the rain,
heritage is becoming abundant, but the cattle
that roam in the valley will speedy destroy
every green thing, and leave all as bare as
before.

our volcanoes have held their peace, and exhio-
tied their power only in alumber to wondering
visitors, without overwhelming fruitful valleys
with destruction or shaking the foundations oil
the land. And last, but far from least the year
1876 will ever be memorable in our history, a.
having brought the boon of Reciprocity with our
nearest neighbor and best friend, the GREAT
Republic. through which success and q rich re-
ward IS held out to intelligence, industry ana
enterprise, such as Is offered to no other nation
under the sun. And let US add, we enter upon
another year with men at the head OF public
affairs in whom the hopes of the people are con-
fdently centered and who, government and
people laboring in unity, viii during the coming
year make the country to passsress towards the
better.
In conclusion, we wish a happy and u pros
porous new year to all our readers.

PACIFIC COAST.

SAN Francisco, Oct. 81. - At Ave
minutes to II last night, panic occurred
in the Royal Chinese Theater, on the
north side of jackson street, between
Kearney and Dupont. A stampede fol-
lowed, which resulted in the immediate
death OF 81 Cinnamon and wounding Is
or 20 more. The entrance to the The
alter is through long narrow corridor,
at the end of which are five or six steps
leading to the door, through which the
audience has to pass. A few feet back
OF and parallel with this door, was a
partition built of one inch board and
reaching half way to the ceiling While
the performance was going on, some one
in the audience raised a cry of fire. The
alarm was groundess, but it created a
panic, and great portion OF those in
the audience and in the gallery, which
has stairway running down to the front
door, started for the only means of exit.
Some of the foremost fell or were pushed
down the steps leading to the corridor,
and those who came after them fell pell
nell on them. The surging crowd
pushed on, carrying the partition with
them. In few minutes hundreds of
Cinnamon were piled on top of each
other, screaming, moaning and crying in
Chinese and English. few minutes
after the accident occurred, few officers
rushed to the scene and attempted to
render assistance, but their efforts were
in vain for little while, as those China
men who were uninjured refused to rem
der assistance or stand back. A rein.
forcement Of police under Captain Doug
las. came up in short time and
cleared the spot around which lay
the fallen men. The officers worked
with will, and removed the debris and
in little while commsnced taking out
the unfortunates who had been crushed
by those who fell on them. As soon as
taken out they were carried to the street
and laid on the sidewalk. Fresh air re-
vived few but the majority were dead.
After they had all been taken out it was
discovered that 81 were dead and about
Is wounded. Some of tho wounded
were taken to the receiving hospital aud
the dead were taken to the morgue.
While the dead and wounded were being
removed the police endeavored to press
the Cinnamon into the service OF remov.
ing the injured and those whose life had
fed, but they refused to help. The &C.
tors, fully aware of what had occurred,
continued playing on the stage as il
nothing had happened, and it was mol
until Captain Douglass ordered them to
cease playing that they stopped tho per

DEAR SIB:--It may be some satisfac-
ton to you to be informed of the result
of the trial of the Peruvian Syrup in my
family. My daughter was brought low
by typoid fever last Spring. and after the
fever lett her she continued very weak,
and the simplest food distressed her.
For months she remained in the same
debilitated condition; but from the first
of September last. when she commenced
taking the Syrup, the digestive functions
improved, and she steadily gained
strength and vivacity; and now, after
taking two bottles. she is restored to o
good state of health; indeed, she appears
more really healthy than she has for
several years past. am of opinion that
the "Protoxids of Iron" contained in
the Peruvian Syrup, was adapted to her
case, and effected what no other known
medicine could have effected.
Yours truly, s. CoBB.

National Republican., 1876-12-21

What the RECONSTRUCTED" rebels of South
Carolina will do when left to their own per-
verbity is well shown by the action Of the So
called Hampton Legislature in nominating by
q vote of 65 out OF 70 the notorious and ever
infamous General NJ. C. Butler for the United
States Senate. A single act like this does
more to expose the true sentiment of Hamp-
ton and his followers than hundred procls-
nations or pledges can Offset. Butler is un-
doubtedly the man of all men in South Caro-
lima who should have been kept in the back
ground at this time. His very name is a
stencil to Northern nostrils, and the promi-
nence now given him must prove offensive to
the last degree, not only to all Republicans
but to all conservative, lsw-abiding and hu.
name Democrats. If Hampton permits
such of his supporters to come to the
front It will be difficult for him tc
make any one believe that he has either dis
cretion, policy, or common sagaclty, or that
there is any sincerity in his desire for good
relations with the North.
National Republican., 1876-12-21

The Senate's Right to Count the Vote.
The Critic of yesterday quoted from an edi-
torisl headed "ViVG Ia RspTbliqus," published
inthe NATIONAL REPUBLICAN on Monday last,
the following sentence "The Senate, under
the Constitution, has the right to count the
vote" In commenting on this assertion the
Critic says that there is "no warrant for It in
the Constitution" The Constitution, how
ever, distinctly declares that the "Vice Presi-
dent of the United States shall be the Presi-
dent OF the Senate" As we have no Vice
President now, the Senate has the power to
elect President, who will have all the pow
ers of the Vice President in regard to count
ing the electoral vote; for the Constitution,
in giving the Senate the power to choose the
Vice President, also gives the person thus
chosen all the powers of Vice President
chosen by the electoral majority. Therefore,
as the Senate has the right to choose the
Vice President, and the Constitution confers
on this person the duty of opening and count
ing the vote in the presence of the two legis-
latiVe branches, it appears that the Senate
does have the undeniable right to count the
vote through its mouth-piece the Vice Presi-
dent so chosen.
