The CoNCERT.-Our readers are aware that an
Industrious and persevering effort is in progress,
under the patronage of their Majesties and their
Royal Highnesses the Princesses Liliuokalani and
Likelike, to raise an adequate fund for the rebuild
ing of Kaumakapili Church. This effort has been
in the form of q series of concerts, which have been
generally well attended. The most successful of the
series took place last Saturday night at the church,
when the large space was filed to its utmost capacity
by the fashion and beauty of the metropolis.
His Majesty's entrance was greeted by the entire
audience rising to their feet and standing till he
reached his seat. He was accompanied by their
Excellencies the Ministers of Finance and Foreign
Affairs, and the Chamberlain. Mons. Pernet of the
French Commission, was escorted to a seat near
the King. OF the concert, we can speak only in
terms of the most unqualified praise. The Duet,
go, gently breathe, - was very sWeetly sung, as also
the chorus, "Iye no mother, now" The solo,
"Aloha to Hawaii" was sung in a superior man
ner, and the solo, '' Beautiful Isles of the Sea-"
by II. r. II. Mrs. Dominis, ELECTED loud and animat-
ed ~plaudits. "IfI had but a thousand a year u was
well sung. The gem of the evening, 90 Imi au ia oe,"
was very finely rendered by their Royal Hignesses,
and was so thoroughly appreciated by the audience
that the demand for an encore fairly shook the
building, and the iilustrious performers won all
hearts by a pleasant compliance. We can truly
assert that the performance, in all the pieces sung,
was a delight as well as surprise to the large audi
ence present. Concerts Of such superior excellence
can never become wearisome or monotonous.

Thomas, of the British Navy, restored the sovereignty

high-handed act of Lord George Paulet Of the pre-
vious month of February-was for many years The
holiday Of Hawaii mel. But during the reign OF
Kamehameha V the official observance of the day
was discontinued, the reason being that it was an
annually recurring reminder of an act Of injustice by
o British commander. And was It's observance not
equally a commemorative of the prompt act Of resto-
ration of the flag by another British commander, the
gallant Thomas? The 18th of June, IN commemora-
ton Of Kamehameha l. has taken the place Of the

present Legislature, none is more worthy Of pyomi-
nent mention than the Hon. Walter Murray Gibson.
He has labOred indefatigabiy for the interests of his
constituents and of the country at large; and We can
safely say that no other foreign-born gentleman in
the House has welded the same influence, or gained
the confidence of the native Hawaiian members 10
the extent that he has done. This has been owing
to the sincerity, frankness, courtesy, and earaestness
with which he has advocated his opinions, and the
clearly unselfsh zeal which has characterized his
whole conduct throughout an arduous session. He
will leave US in the next steamer for America, to be
absent for q year, on a visit TO his native State. The
warmest wishes for his welfare will accompany him
on his journey, and a sincere hope for his safe return
to the land of his adoption.

The Peace Prospect,

The terms of q peace between Russia
and Turkey have been agreed on and are
such as to make the feeling strong in all
European capitals that peace is near at
hand. England appears to regard the
proposed arrangements rs not injuring her
eastern interests, and Austria, though
moro dissatisfied, is likely to be appeased,
The substantial advantages accruing to
Russia are first large slice of Asia Minor
which shall include the fortress Of Kars !;
secondly the surrender and destruction of
the fortified towns forming the famous
1uadrilaleral, the erection of Bulgaria into
virtually Independent nation and some
slight change in the boundaries of the Rus
sian Empire in Europe; thirdly the pay
ment of a large war indemnity.
The Russian army which is now in large
force near Constantinople is to be allowed
to embark in that regen on Russian ships
for transport to their homes instead of
taking the long overland march throu Oh
the country their arms have subdued.
The result of the war is to thoroughly
break what was left of the power Of Tur-
key as II factor in European events. 1t
further releases large part of the Chris
tian population of Turkey from the Mus
sulman yoke and render impossible in the
future "A repetition of those atrocities which
have within a few years shown that the
Turk remains rs barbarous as he does
brave.

The president sent in his expected veto
of the silver bill one afternoon last week
The house preceded to pass it at once not
withstanding his objections by a vote of
1876 to Is. The senate the same afternoon
voted in its favor 46 TO 10 and the bill be-
came law.
Their was discussion in neither house
and the message was simple reiteration
of arguments that have boen before advanc-
ed against the measure. The Bland and
Ewing folks are not really satisfied and
hope to get more radical measure passed
but the indications are they will have to
wait for more silver legislation until it is
found how the present bill will operate.
The new dollar is to be coined at once
and anybody who has any prospect of get
ting dollar of any kind is liable to be
elated or depressed by having one of these
sinners passed upon him in the immediate
future,

Gov. Stone of Mississippi suggested to
the Legislature in his message the appoint
ment of committee to investigate the
reported lawlessness in the southwestern
counties, and it has just made its report
which confirms the worst stories of Wiip-
ping, burning and even killing by bands
of desperadoes who work by night. The
committee claim that there is nothino
political about these outrages, but the
Jackson Times, the chief republican paper
in the state, is probably about rig Int in
ascribing their origin to the rifle club
campaign of 1875, which so amiliarized
and fascinated the desperate class with
this sort of amusement that they keep it
up from force of habit. All agree that the
better portion of the community condemn
the lawlessness, but they are overawed
and the local authorities are practically
powerless. One suggestion is that the
state furnish secret service to detect the
criminals, and another that the legislature
authorize change of venue when the
prosecution think there is no chance of
securing the punishment of offenders ex-
cepC by removing the trial from the coun-
ty which they have terrotized. The Times.
we observe, credits Gov. Stone with beinG
earnest, sincere and determined to use nii
the power given him to enforce the laws.
and the right kind of talk is beginning to
be heard in the Legislature, one member
declaring the other day that, if the demo-
cratic party in the state did not have the
backbone to put down lawessness, he
would favor call upon the general gov.
eminent for troops for that purpose.
