PoLTTIcAL TRIcKERY.-The problem of the gov
ernment of the people by the people for the people
has its crucial test in the maintenance of the
purity of the ballot. As with the multiplication
of forms of commercial enterprise crimes are
introduced, not contemplated by any previous
Legislative enactments so with the spread of popu-
lar government have come in various devices to
set aside the will of the people, and make political
trickery and party machinery the controlling ele-
ment. The recent elections in the United States
have shown what temptations men have to en-
counter, and how respectable men will countenance
and enter into practices utterly subversiye of all
mutual confidence. Counting in " candidate
who has really been defeated at the polls, has be-
come fearfully common. What the practice of
grow to, no one can foresee. What temptations
there are in the present surplusage In the Trea-
sury to extravaganza, cannot fail to recognize.
Let US hope no "ring will get control of the pub
lie purse.

WILLIAM HALFoRD.-The gunner OF
the U 8 8 Lackswanna, now 10 this
port, has . history Of no little interest.
William Halford was coxswain Of tho
the Captains gig. on the U s Steamer
Saginaw, which vessel. under the CON-

having left Honolulu on the lst Of Oc-
tober. 1870, on cruise in the North

few hours became q total wreck.
Provisions aud sails were saved aud the
crew remained OIL the barren islet until
the 4th Of January following. when
thew were taken off and brought to
Honolulu on the steamer Kilaues. Capt.
Thomas Long, dispat ,hed to their re-
lief by the Hawaiian Government i'm.
mediately on hearing Of the disaster.
The news had been brought here by
Halford. in this wise: On the 18th Of
November, the Captains gig. which
had been raised upon, decked. and
thoroughly fitted for the purpose. CALLED

command Of Lieut. J G Talbot. and her

December 10th at night. and lay off for

asleep and the boat getting into the
breakers was c.psized, and Lieut.. Tai
bot. Francis and Andrews were drox n.
ed in the surf. Halford and Muir sue
eeeded in reaching the shore the latter
only 10 die OF exhaustion soon after.
Halford was Hospitality treated by
the natives OF Kslihivai. (nsar Hana.
lei) where he Was fund on the beach
10 the morning, and was brought to
Honolulu in the schooner Waiols, Capt
Dudoit. who gave up his trip for the
purpose. Lieut. Talbot was buried st
Hsnalci, but the rsmaius were subse-
qusotly disinterred and taken to tho

Justice Clark, of Valley Falls, has tied

he is responsible, can probably be esti
mated by our married readers

The national debt of France is the
largest public debt in the world. 1t
amounts ut present, in our money,to the
sum of $4,717, 6s9.0OO. The yearly charge
for interest is $2l3,5OO,OOO. The three
per cent. rentes amount to $2,41S, 000,O 900,
or rather more than one half of the total
debt. The five per cent. FrancO-German
debt amounts to $1,373, 100000. The
remainder of the principal, 5000, 289, :
600, is in the shape of floating obliga-
tions, annuities, &c. The population OF
France is about twO-thirds that of the

POLITICAL FONTS.

Ohio is forninst third-term, and
Ohio is pivotal State.
The only Democratic rider that sticks
worth cent is Sinbad J. Tilden.
We are somewhat surprised to know
that the ST. Louis Globe-Democrat has
never claimed Maine for Grant
1t begins TO look little as il the dark
horse of the Chicago convention would
be centaur-or at least a man on
horseback.
Senator Thurman thinks that Grant
will be nominated at Chicago, and that
his, Humans, chances at Cincinnati
will be benefited thereby.
If Don Cameron wants to keep the
keystone solid for Grant, he had better
quarantine against that factious minority
that is threatening the integrity of the
structure.
When tbs St Louis Globe Democrat
speaks of the "silent man, ;" in connection
with the presidency, it would dIvest the
metaphor of a shade of its ambiguity if
the editor would be so kind as to state
whether he refers to General Grant or S.
Jones TIlden.
The instruction of the Franklin coun-
ty, Ohio, delegates to the Cincinnati con.
vention, for Senator Thurman, would
seem to indicate that the suspicious
moment has arrived for Mr.. Tilden 10
tap at least a keg somewhere in the
vicinity of the Buckeye capital.
The objection to David Davis as 6
presidential candidate is, that the De
mocracy have no timber solid enough
from which TO construct a platform Il
carry him, unless they tear down the
fence upon which he has been sitting
and utilize il for that purpose.
The Thurman boom is just beginning
to show evidences Of termination il

TUE LAST VETO.

The veto, by President Hayes, of the
immediate deficiency bill, is only what
the country had reason to hope for, in
view of the backbone displayed by the
chief executive during the memorable
extra session, which was mainly devoted
to lacking obnoxious riders TO the bills
passed upon by a PARTISAN congress.
This latest action of the president will
meet with the hearty endorsement of his
party, and strengthen the confidence of
the people in an administration which
has been characterized by an honesty of
purpose and a fidelity to duty which has
never been questioned.
TIE president defines his position in
unmistakable terms, and again enters
his protest against any infringement up
on the executive prerogative by the at
tempted modification or repeal of laws
authorizing proper and needed appopri-
atoms
The rider in the present case, placed
