DISTRICT OF PUMA.

This district is largely composed Of "a and lava, and no large
agricultural enterprises, except stock raising, are being prosecuted at
present. The natives of the district, however, look cleanly and con-
tented, and raise some coffee, cocoanuts, &C. The cocoanut grows
spontaneously, and its cultivation might be indefinitely extended till
the export of cOpra would be quite important. There is a boat-land-
ing at Mawae, Kula, near Eldarts ranch, to which the present
entrance is dangerous in consequence of having to double round a
reef of rocks, a part of which might be blasted out, opening a direct
channel to a good boat harbor; the expense of which would probably
be less than $3.50. The anchorage is said to be good, and with a good
mooring and buoy would supply the district with a fair landing. The
roads leading to the harbor would need Improvement. The roads
generally in the district are good.

Report Of tlse ROyssE Commissioner
ON Development Of Resources.

HONOLULU, APRIL 27rH, 1877.
The Morning herald., 1877-12-27

Blaine is on the wane. Conkling takes
the wind compIetsly from his. sails, and
he falls back under rsefed canvas quite
gracefully, and yet il is hardly in con-
sonance with the clustering mien Of Blaine.
The contest for the Presidency may induce
Mr.. Blaine to merely crouch upon his
launches for more declsiye spring when
the time comes. 1t is not possible, with
the lead now obtained, that Conkling will
yield without struggle. % .r.""

NR. JACKSON.

We spoke very plainly about the wrong
done to Mr.. jackson by his arrest upon 9
mandate from Delaware on a requisitior
from Georgia. 1t now turns out that the
vAels proceeding was blunder on the
part Of the Georgia authorities. which
could have been in part avoided by oul
government standing upon the adjudicated
decisions, ~ to the discretion of the Gov.
srnor in such cases, and the precedsnti
which established the right Of receiving bai]
hsrs, to appear in Georgia. The case o.
Kelly who was tried in Philadelphia
within nix months, for the murder of
Cato, who had detainer lodged against
him, while on trial, for fraudulent vsting
In Ohio. Upon his acquital in Philadel.
phia he was arrested on the mandate ol
Governor Hartranft, as requested by Gov
srnor Young, Of Ohio. Bail was accepted
for him in Philadelphia, and the bonds
returned to Hamilton county, where he
vas to appear for trial. Hereafter, if any
citizen Of this State is called, for on re-
quisitiou, We trust the Governor, if the
person claimed be reputable man, and
eas not likely to fly, will permit the de-
sisisns Of the Supreme Court Of the United
6tates, and the custom of other States to
influence him to- merciful action in the
premises.
Mr.. jackson, it appears, On Tuesday
vssk, vas heard and fully exonerated as
appears by the following letter:
STATE OF GEORGIA, !
EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENT, :
ATLANTA, GA, Dec. %, 1877.
Mr.. Job H. jackson, Wilmington, Del.
DEAR SIR 1T gives me pleasure to say
that lpon full hearing of the facts in the
sass Of the State against yourself: I am
satisfied that the criminal suit was brought
under misspprehension. The Exc cutive
has no right or power to interfere wi tn the
judicial department of the Government or
IT, proceedings. Yet shall advise that a
~olls prssequi be entered in the case on the
grounds that the facts fully vindicate you
It is due to you that I make this state
ment and express my regret for the un.
pleasant circumstances that haye attended
the matter.
It is due to the State and the attorneys
that should also say that the: Information
we had, unexplained, justified in our view
the course taKen.
Respectfully your obedent servant.
ALFRED H COLQUITT,
GOVERNOR OF GEORGIA.
It is cool comfort for a high-toned and
honorable man to havehis wrongs assuaged
by even such handsome letter.

1RlCkERY NOT PROFITABLE,

Senator Conkling appears to be in the
ascendant. His triumph over Hayes, in the
New York appointments, was remarkable
for more than one circumstance. 1t brought
Blaine to submission after feud Of twelve
years standing, harmonized conflicting ele.
ments against the President, and has placed
Conkliug in the van as the Republican
leader. To this end there appears an entire
submission. In his attack upon the Presi-
dent he now Aourishes another whip of de-
hancs; he has procured special commit
tee to inquire into affairs along the Mexican
border, consisting of Senators Conkling,
Hanlin, How, Jones Of Nevade, Cameron
Of Pennsylvania, Eaton Of Connecticut, and
Iaxey Of Te1as-all special friends. This
certainly does not mean submission on the
part Of Conkling; what then? 1t means
that Mr.. Hayes must yeild his crude ideas
and be governed, or driven 10 the wall
His pillow undoubtedly promise to be an
uneasy one. He has 80 far given evidence
of strong independence Of expression, but
hs has failed materially in action. He can
Mt now submit to Conkling and retain the
selat hs aims for, and yet he must submit.
In tho committee ConkliDg holds rod
anl By the tone Of the report may we learn
ths ressit; whether it be war or surrender.
Thsre IL one thing Mr.. Hayes can surren-,
dsr with honor, the Presidency, and he
had bstter do it. Hemmed around by the
Coakling rope he can be but cypher; no
position good to himself or the country,
end 70 Viii end he is doomed
