difference?
THE ELEcTIoNs-A correspondent at Makawao
says 1.-The election in wailuku district was de-
cidedly crooked. There is no doubt but that at
Ulupalakua there was perpetrated a most gigantic
fraud in the little matter Of ballot box stufing, and

A WHALER-Whereas in old times we frequently
had as many as fifty to a hundred whalers inside

the advent of q single ship is deserving of an item.
