Serious Charges against Second Auditoy
French.
Washington Special aug. 2s) to Chicago Inter
Ocean.
A man named Langhorne. to-day sub
mitted to the President, who, in turn, re-
ferred them to the attorney general for in
yestlgation, charges of a serious nature
against Second Auditor French, and Her
ring, his deputy. French was formerly
member of Congress from Maine, and was
clerk of the House of Representatives twenty
years ago. 1t seems that the charges were
made by Langhorne to Glover's committee,
and evidence to sustain them prepared by
Langhorne, as one Of Gloyer's experts. The
charges and evidence have not been fully
completed till now, and are submitted to the
President for his action without waiting for
Congress to reassemble. The principal
point is that several clerks in Office are COM
PEELED to divide their salaries with Herring,
and that French has all along been aware of
the facts. Herring was called before Glover's
committee, but declined to testify on the
ground, as is alleged, that he could not do
so without eliminating himself. Several
clerks testified that they regularly paid Her.
ring part of their salary under compulsion,
and that they appealed to French for relief,
but he sustained Herring in the blackmail-
ing operation. It is also stated that French
and Herring have both allowed certain claim
| agents to have access to the records of the
department., and obtain from them evidence
to sustain claims they were prosecuting.
These are the principal charges. Langhorne
swears that he has been offered ST. 600 to
withdraw the charges. He is not man of
any reputation. is a discharged clerk from
his Office, and is now claim agent here.

NEEDED LEGISLATION.

To any person at all familiar with our system
of jurisprudence, the necessity of a Probate Law
is apparent. So long ago as 1863, the late r. Fl.
Stanley at the instance of the then Minister of
the Interior, Prince Kamehameha, prepared a
very full and elaborate Probate Act, but which
was never acted upon, and the Ms. was mystic
riously lost. Our present law relating to probate
matters is a mere skeleton, and is deficient in the
most common as well as the most important de-
tails. Too much is left to judicial discretion
without any precedents on which to base adjudi-
cation. 1t is true our Supreme Justices, at
Chambers, have been compelled to adopt q system
of practice which, while 1t has in a great degree
supplied the deficiency i'll statutory enactments,
at the same time makes more apparent the neces-
sity of a Probate Law, clearly regulating the
practice on that most important branch of our
Jurisprudence.
The Legislature of 1874 authorized the ap-
pointment of a Commission to revise and re-
port a Code of laws to the Legislature of 1876.
The Commission, consisting of Messrs. E.. Preston,
l.. McCully and W. C.. Jones, was duly appoint
ed. They proceeded with their labors and re-
ported a full revised Code at the session of 1876.
1t was reported in both the English and Hawai-
ian languages, at an expense of some 81, 500 to
the government. The last Legislature only acted
upon a few of the important laws reported; but
there was a full and complete Probate Law re-
ported, which was not acted upon by the Legisla-
ture. Why this important matter was neglected,
appears strange. 1t was carefully translated, and
20 far as we are able to judge met all the wants
Of the country on that subject. Should it not
be taken up and acted upon by the coming Leg

Though there have been some refreshing showers
here Of late, and rains on the mountains sufficient
for a good supply of water for ~irrigating the cane

pected that the wire will be continued on to Lahaina,

Tom Paine.

While all due praise is cheerfully accorded to
Paine for what he did in behalf of human freedom
and to bring about the independence of the United
States, there are serious charges brought against
him by various individuals who should be regarded
as competent witnesses. Of his in6delity and of his
efforts to destroy the foundations of religion and
virtue there is no doubt; and the history of his lat
ter years serves as illustrations of his principles.
Cleanliness is next to godliness,' - is an old proy-
erb. How much connection there is between an i'm

ton. He appeared as though be had not been
shaved for a fortnight; he had on only the remains
Of o shirt, and this nearly of the color of tanned
leather, while he had the most disagreeable smell
possible. Justice " afirms in the Cattle of March

thousand times. But what testimony does he bring
forward to substantiate his assertion? "Justice"

true; but we 60 to those friends who were intimate.
