We regret to report d most sad occurrence
in this place on Saturday night last, and
which had fatal termination on Sunday
AS far as we can learn, the general facts are.
that shortly alter dark Saturday evening
Thomas II. Bragg visited the shoemaker
shop Of Mr.. Thos U Sp:nks, On Main
street, and directly thereafter an alteration
ensncd between the Two about some rnendinp
which tao latter had done for the former,
during which Mr.. s was provoked to strike
Bragg with boot tree After a short time
young Bragg went out the door, accompany
ing his departure with threatening remarks.
Gathering up several stones, he returned to
the door and challenged Mr.. Spinks to como
out, and Mr.. S. went to tho door. when
Bragg threw several stones at him, one Of
which struck him in the forehead, and lie
fell scnselrss. He was carried INTO his house
near by. and never entirely recovered con
sci0usnc again, but died on Sunday about
IL O'Clock \ warrant was issued for tt e

whilst Constable Cockrill was hunting for
him he came down from the residence of his
parents, accompanied by his father, and gave
h mself up to Justice Burnett, who commit

Others and upon all that others hold precious in life.
For years he has been in the habit, not merely Of
criticisrg the public acts of men in office, but of
charging them with base and dishonorable con-
duct with high-nown language declaring his own
self-sacrifcing devotion TO the Hawaiian race, he
has never failed or hesitated TO accuse others of
being false to the native interests to charge them
with peculation. frauds and other evil doings while
in the discharge of their public duties; and. by
nearly every means at his command, to arouse in
the native mind feeling of hostility to those of
the foreign residents who were holding important
offices. Having at last succeeded in obtaining the
removal of ministry, and the appointments if not
of himself, at least of those who would place
themselves in his hands, he had chance during
the few weeks in which his friends and himself
were in power, to see what the country thought of
them and of him. If he has had to take some
hard knocks in exchange for the many he has
given, if the showing up" process is not to his
fancy, surely he does not mean row to plead dd
miseroordiam before he offers to throw up the
sponge. We will guarantee contemporary a
perfect release from public scrutiny criticism,
the moment he stops publishing to the Hawaiians
such unfounded and injurious charges against the
whites, and lays aside his hitherto unremitting eff
forts to cast obloquy and disgrace upon others.

WHEN the ZeaiaHdia, which conveyed Moreno
and his proteges to the Coast arrived at San Fran
cisco, a diligent search for the Hawaiian young
men was made by two or three Hawaiian visitors
in San Francisco. Hotels and boarding houses
were visited without success. Moreno had con-
veyed his charges TO some obscure and secret lodg
ing, out of the way of friends and interviewers
where they we're detained until Wednesday, p. NJ
Sept sth, (the steamer passengers landed early on
the morning of the Sth) when they were dos
patched TO Reno in Nevada, by the Virginia City
special train with instructions to wait at Reno for
Moreno, who joined them at that way station on
the Central Pacific Railroad by a route best known
to himself. The young men appear to have re-
heved the tedium of their enforced delay at Reno,
by writing letters to the Moreno organ in this city
Perhaps the friendly organ can explain why Mr..
Wilcox and his companions were not permitted to
remain in San Francisco over the 9th of Septem-
Der Thursday to witness the imposing reception
ceremonies and procession in honor of President
Hayes. Were they hurried out of San Francisco
because their presence in the streets of that city
might have put interested inquirers the trail of
Moreno's secret retreat?

An acquaintance of ours recently remarked that
there are good many old women here" He
did not refer to elderly persons either of the female
or the male sex but those who, of whatsoever age
or gender they may be, are afflicted with mental
senility or effeminacy. Strong thinking is against
what they are pleased to regard their principles.
Anything like logical views is abhorrent to them.
If the devil were at your throat, and his tail and
horns were concealed, and he himself were dis
posed to daily awhile, these old women would say,
Don't hurt the poor devil, don't be hard on him
hear what he has to say, give him chance" If a
fox were caught with his jaws covered with the
blood of his victims the 4" old women would make
haste to plead for him: "Don't kick him when he
is down. Let us be charitable" We hope that if
any one finds that the coat fits him personally, he
will say nothing but think it over little and see
how he really enjoys the fit

The Adrertise,- asks, "Has the honor of the
Sovereign been maintained? ~ And goes on to
argue that it maintained when the BushJones
Ministry demanded the recall of the foreign repre-
sentatives, and that it not maintained by their
successors in withdrawing that demand. Our
versatile contemporary argues follows: The
King of Hawaii is as independent the Gar of
Russia; independent nations have the right to
dismiss each others Ministers without assign
ing cause for so doing, and do not thereby incur
each others hostility. Refusing to acknowledge
Moreno was sufficient cause for demanding the
dismissal of Messieurs Comfy, Wodehouse, and
Ratard. Those who advised that course consulted
the honor of the King, while those who advised
otherwise have consulted only "a few influential
business interests" We apprehend that the above
argument, although original with our contempo-
rary, is not now made use of by him for the first
time, for no one would accuse Kuaea or Bush of
originating the project. Nor do we think Jones
would have been likely to try to work up a case
against countryman from his own native State.
Not that the pretended argument is bad on account
of the source from which it comes but it fails of
having force from its failure to present the facts
fully or correctly. If We admit a right to dis
miss diplomatic representatives, even without
of doing so would amount to sheer madness.
Great Powers which landed their forces to aid the
King in establishing himself upon the throne,
which have granted our Reciprocity Treaty, and
suspended all claims that it was an infraction of
other treaties, not to be treated with GOODNESS
or with any lack of consideration, if we expect
even ordinary courtesies from them hereafter.
But the position, understand it, is still
worse. No cause could justly have leen assigned
for such an extraordinary demand No letters
conference, with opportunity to explain official
charges against them. No intimation was given
to them that their recall had been demanded. This
departure from the ordinary etiquette was grave
enough but worse remained. The recall, as We
understand, was based series of charges against
each of the representatives, which charges with
the allegations of fact on which they were based
tcere ,efracted unfomnded in fact, and untrue,
by the reTy Minister IchO made them! 1t needs no
citations of international law to prove that such
serious accusations, if made at all, must be sup
ported by facts and not by statements confessedly
false. 1t is not the part of loyalty to the King,
whether the article be subsidized by $1,000 not,
to try to involve his honor in support of any such
position as was taken by the late Ministry. In
deed nothing but dense ignorance, else desire
to involve the King ard the country in great diff
iculties can account fo- what Mr.. Bush was
induced to do. We suspect that both ignorance
and malice were at work.

The appropriation of $4,000 for the education
of Hawaiian youth abroad ought to have been
treated sacred trust, requiring its expenditure
in mode which men experienced in educational
matters should recommend We have no doubt
that the Bishop of Honolulu, cooperating with
the Inspector of our Public Schools. and with
teachers like Messrs. Macintosh, Jones, and
Atkinson, could have devised a course of studies
abroad which would be of great value By
asking the friendly services of the Representatives
of foreign Powers provided, of course, we keep

This is the often-repeated libel of that zone
man" who calls himself somewhat infirm and
by the battle of life" He still has the heart,
and the malice to misrepresent the acts of public
men, and state what he knows is untrue, for his
personal ends but it is only with those who do not
know his capacity in that way that his ISLANDERS
could avail. Those who care to learn the facts in
the above matter can easily ascertain them either
at the bank of Bishop & Co., or of Messrs. E. p.
