THE presidential question in the United
States appears now to be in fair way to be
amicably settled. Congress has passed an
act, under which five Senators, five Repre-
sentatives, and five Judges of the Supreme
Court are constituted tribunal to settle all
questions of dispute relating to the succession.
This commission embraces some of the best
men in the country, and both Governors TIL
den and Hayes have expressed themselves
satisfied with the mode adopted, and will
abide the decision arrived at. Politically,
the tribunal comprises seven persons who
have been identified with the Republican
party, seven with the Democratic party, and
one, Justice Bradley, who has never been a
politician or identified with either. This
makes the latter an umpire, should the rest be
equally divided. The electoral votes will be
counted by Congress, and any objections
raised against receiving the votes of such
States as Florida, Louisiana, Oregon, or South
Carolina will be referred to the tribunal for
settlement. How much time will be occupied
in deciding the election, no one knows. 1t
may take till after the 4th of March; in which
event, President Grant will retire, and the
president of the Senate will become Acting
President of the United States and remain so
till choice shall be made

IT will be noticed that the advertisements
of the mail steamers are Withdrawn, which is
done by order of the Pacific Mail Steamship
Company. On inquiry we learn that the
Company has determined to withdraw from
this route. In their latest letter they say
g Should their decision 1.-THE Hawaiian Govern
ment's) be unfavorable to our view of what
I" is just and liberal to this Company, zoe ,rM
Sc Immediately and for eper drop The port Of
Honolulu, and carry out our English COL
onial mail contract: running direct from
San Francisco to Fiji" This language is
unmistakeable, and if the administration de-
cline to enter into the arrangement foi which
the Legislature made provision, the steamers
will be withdrawn. 1t is not too late to avoid
such a result, and it can be done by sending a
duly authorized agent to confer with the pre-
sident and directors of the Company in New
York. We think that if the matter were laid
before them by such a person, all the conces-
sions asked for on either side will be readily
agreed on, and a contract entered into If
there is any misunderstanding, this is the best
way to correct 1t. For years we have been
advocating the establishment of steam COM
munication with Australia and California, and
now when we see established the finest line
of ships ever put on any route, we are threat
ened with their withdrawal, which will vir-
tually put us back where we were twenty-five
years ago. Is this course wise, or polite, or
best adapted to foster the commercial growth
of the Kingdom9

DEVOTED TO HAWAIIAN PROGRESS.
PUBLISHED AND EDITED BY
HENRY NJ. WHITNEY.
WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY IA, 1871

DURING the past ten days there has been
considerable discussion regarding the wording
of the Stamp Act, the first section of which
declares that /" from and after the coming into
operation Of this act, there shall be due and
payable to His Majesty etc the several
sums OF money of Stamp duty collected under
the act. A shrewd lawyer might, perhaps,
following the letter of this law, declare that
all receipts under it belong TO His Majesty,
and so undertake to make up a case. But the
intention Of the Legislature was unquestion-
ably that all sums of money collected under
it should belong to the public treasury. 1t is
claimed that the wording of this law is the
same as in similar acts in England, but we
have our doubts concerning this. The law
should have read, "to His Majesty's exche-
quer" or treasury" The omission fur
nishes another instance of the hasty and
imperfect manner in which some Of our laws
are enacted. This law was brought into the
Assembly during the last few days of the ses-
sion, read by its title, referred to committee,
hastily acted on, and passed without probably
ten members knowing its details.
