able discussion, and the result was near
ly unanimous vote, 112 to 6not to entertain
the complaint. but refer it to the Synod

that the Assembly has no jurisdiction over
the case, as it now stands, especially as it
has been carried by appeal to the Synod.

Fourth of July.

As an Offset TO the grand celebration OF
Americas festal day last year, the observance OF
the Fourth was extremely quiet In Honolulu 10
1877. Beyond the nring Of a salute at noon, the
display Of bunting and the excellent concert by
the band at Emma Square in the afternoon, there
was no public demonstration. There were numer-
GUS picnics in the country, and private parties,
and the youngsters (as well rs children OF a
larger growtb) let of lots OF fire crackers, squibs
and rockets. There were no accidents TO chroni-
Gle, and but a small harvest OF dEunks al the
police station.
At noon His Excellency H.. A. Peirce, the
American Minister Resident, at bis villa In Nun
anu Valley received the calls Of the Kings Min
listers, members of the Diplomatic and consular
corps, and his counirynien generally, and the
usual toasts were honored. In response TO that Of
the King, His Ex. J. Mott Smith spoke as follows
"In the name Of His Majesty / thank you, Mr..
Minister, for the toast which you have proposed.
and which has been 30 heartily responded 10 BY the
gentlemen here present. Ii is q pleasure TO him to
be reminded by this toast, given In this plece-the
Legation Of the United States-and on this day, the
anniversary Of the political birthday OF your great
nation--of the long years Of friendly and amicable
intercourse which has subsisted between the two
nations, and Of the many and substantial proofs
which the United States have given OF their regard
fer the peace, prosperity and perpetuity OF this
Kingdom. He 10 reminded this day OF the gigantic
strides which your nation has made during the last
one hundred years in population, international
status. political power, breadth Of national domain,
maritime prosperity, and In science and intellectual
achievements. He recognizes In you the Represcn-
tative Of a great. free and prosperous nation.
But on this occasion His Majesty regards the
toast offered by you as containing q personal senti-
ment to which he may justly respond. He is aware
that you are about TO retire from the high Office
with which your government has honored you for
the past eight years, which you have 80 ably filed,
and in which you have faithfully guarded the inter-
ests of your own country while maintaining the
most courteous and pleasant intercourse with this.
During this long Intercourse, there has been no
occasion that need be remembered with regret, and
there remains naught Of either an official or person.
al nature to be deplored or forgotten. You will
leave to your successor archives filled only with the
record Of questions pleasantly disposed OF, and
documents Of the most friendly and helpful charac-
ter. His Majesty therefore will see your retirement
with regret. and you will carry with you his best
wishes for your future welfare and happiness. He
will also accord to your successor the high consider
alton which the Minister Of 30 great and friendly q
power as yours may justly claim at his hands.
"Mr. Minister, in behalf Of His Majesty have
the honor to propose-The President Of the United
States"
