THE SEPTEMBER number of our Honolulu
Monthly, appears this day, and contains another
of those interesting letters from the pen of Mr.. w.
F. Damon, which render the advent of the
Friend each month so attractive and desirable.
The youthful traveller has got over a good deal
of ground since We last had the pleasure of read
ing his account OF his European tour. From Ge-
neva, he passed on to Lausanne, Fribourg, Berne,
Zurich, and Mannedorf, a village on the lake of
which he gives a charming description. Thence,
he has proceeded to Basel and Strasbourg, where
he has had a genial meeting with a young me-
dical gentleman, Hawaiian-born, son of DR.. lille
brand, whose name we hove recently had occa-
sion to recall with reference to our Madeira
Islanders immigration Scheme. The allusion to
the wonderful cock" of Strasbourg cathedral
awakened longforgotten memories OF a pleasant
tonr on the Rhine undertaken by the writer, in
1855, in company with his old friend, the Rt. Hon.
W. H. F.. Cogan, NJ. p. one CT II. B.. Ms Irish
Priyy Councillors. Heidelberg, Worms and
Mayenee, have been successfully visited by our
youthful tourist, and the days steaming accom-
plished down the Rhine from Mayence to Cologne,

Byron sang them oVerhanging the lordly
Rhine.-of Bishop Hatto's Mouse-tower, Of the
rock of fhe Syren Lorlei-of the romantic sites of
Bingen, Coblentz and Bonn,-the interesting ac-
count closing with the safe arrival of olr youthful
tourist at Elberfeld. A more extensive descrip-
ton of his journey from Strasbourg to Eberfeld
Is promised.

A Scion OF ROYALTY IN AMERIcA-The following,
from q New York correspondent of a London paper,
is curious, and will be read with interest
"I do not think it is generally known that
General Ord, who is commanding the United States
troops on the Mexican frontier, and seems likely to
celebrate the first year of the second century of the
Union by adding a new State thereto, is a grandson
of George ". The Generals father was the Kings
SON by Mrs. Fitzherbert. Her son was consigned to
a tutor named Ord, who settled in the States, and
gave his name to his pupil. When young Ord had
reached mans estate he married a Virginian lady,
and had by her two sons, whom he called Atlanticus
and Pacifcus. Paciicus is a judge in California;
Atlanticus, having been educated at West Point, is
now the general above mentioned. 1t would not
surprise many persons if this descendant of an
English king added to the Anglo-Saxon Republic
the kingdom which the French Emperor wanted to
convert into a Latin Empire, in order to counterfeit
a Republic"

AGAIN.-Some time since we referred to the fact
that Notwithstanding the government prohibition,
cattle were running in the upper part of Nuuanu
valley, and as a result of our reference, quite a herd
was coraled shortly thereafter. Now we are in
formed that on Sunday last about a dozen beef cat
tie and horses were seen grazing on the tabued
ground. 1t is u highly desirable that animals should
be kept away from the upper Part of the valley from
whence comes the most of our water supply, in
order that the ferns and s~hrubbery may have o
fair chance to grow as of old, and prevent evapOra-
tion.

MACADAMIzING.-The process of Z" fixing" King

The Old story Over Again.
s4s.e1s

Our correspondents at Washington, whose
letters we publish this morning, treat with
great severity the conduct of the Fraudu-
lent President in going back upon the
promise Of his inaugural address, and in
failing TO respect the pledges given in his
behalf to the Southern representatives for
the purpose Of securing tho final declara-
ton of his election by Congress in compli-
ancc with the decision Of the Electoral Com
mission.
While we print their observations as
worthy of serious consideration, we do not
wish to go altogether the lcngth they do of
condemning Mr.. HAYES M meaning from
the first to dcude and bctray the Southern
men, His fault seems 60 us 10 be weakness
rather than deliberate dcpravity. He is
kind hearted man. very fond Of appro-
baton. He doesn't want TO Ice dis
agreeable to anybody. He would like to
make the South happy and to have it sup
port his Administration and praise him; but
lie is not anxious to offend Mr. MORTON
or Mr.. BLAINE He is not prepared to
break with tho leaders Of the Re-
publican party; and, above all, he
hates 20 say positively before the
country that PACKARD who is Governor by
just the same tide rs HAYES is Prcsi-
DENTS the creature Of fraud, and never
was elected at all. Thus, poor Mr..
HAYES is turned about, now in this
direction and now in that, changing his
mind every day, or oftcncr and doing
at last. not what he meant to do when he
began, but exactly the opposite. They have
been talking about his new policy, but the
truth Is, he has 10 policy at all. He is not
his own man. He does not control what he
calls his Administration. lie is powcrlcss
against the forces that produced his clcVa-
tion Just a. any feeble, undecided, common
place character needs must be under such
circumstances.
No man who gets an Office as Mr.. HAYES
got this one. can be- worth anything in it. A
Fraudulent President. even il he sets out
with good motives l. bound SOONER or later
to make himself ridiculous and also dis
honest.

has gone on from tho first, under the
gard to the act Of Congress, or to the terms
Of its contract with the United States. II
has found means to induce Mr.. boutwell, to
remit. in violation of the plain letter Of the
law the whole of the first years rent except
5000. II induced RICHARDSON to prac-
tically abrogatc the contract based on tho
GOLDsrONE bid, aud to remit entirely and
forever the s. cents per gallon tax on oil,
so hat it really held the lease on terms not
only lower than the GoLDsToNB bid, but
lower han their own rejected bid. and lower
than the minimum fixed by Congress. Tho
tax on oil would have yielded for the whole
term Of the lease the neat sum Of s22Do,oOo.
On the whole we are constrained to say
that this was in many respects one of the
most scandaiuus transactions Of GRANTS
scandalous Administration. And this APP
pointmcnt of JoHN MORTON is Of piece
with the rest of it. There was dark
suspicion at the time that JOHN Nor
Ton and JOuN MORToNs thrifty father
had largo hand in the original swndlc. by
which the GOLDsroNE people were deprived
Of their lease. subsequently JOHN morton
appeared az n stakeholder Of the Alaska
Commercial Company, and then as its prin-
cipal agent on the islands, in which capaci-
ty he served until Mr.. HAYES has seen fit. in
tile interest of civil service reform, to APP
point him special agent of the United States,
TO look after himself and see that lie does
not cheat the Treasury!

wrong-dong cry is raised for the suppression
OF MormOnism. which means the expulsion OF
the MormOns from Utah. While all violaiors Of

not be wrongfully deprived of the property
which they have accumulated. or driven from
