A NAVAL Court was held yesterday by
II. B. NJ. Consul-General to investigate charges
brought by several of the crew of the British
bark Aihshdw against the first mate. The
Court found the charge Of drunkenness not
proved, but carelessness and leaving the deck
when watch was proved, and the mate
censured accordingly. Tho master was also
censured for the lax state of discipline in his
ship, as revealed by the enquiry. The Court
decided that the crew had no sufficient
grounds for not carrying out the terms OF their
agreement.

On Monday evening a concert was given in the
Hotel grounds, when the Hawaiian Band played
in turn with the Peasacod's which Admiral
Stevens had kindly landed for the occasion.
In the latter part of the concert the two bands
played together, and it speaks well for the
musical abilities of each that they kept
together so well considering that it was their
first joint performance. The Admiral with a
number of ladies, officers of the Pensacola and
citizens of Honolulu, occupied the verandas,
and goodly number Of listeners attended and
enjoyed the music. A slight hover of rain
did not tend to mar the pleasure of the eve
ming.

AN UNREASONABLE DEMAND.

For some time past there has been at in
tervals demand from part of the press of
the southern counties of this State, for
separation. 1t appears that there are in
those counties people who think that they
would be better off if they were allowed
to form State by themselves. During the
late session of the Legislature an attempt
was made to force this question into promi-
nence, but it was not successful, and for
several very strong reasons we do not
think it is likely to be in the near future.
None of the arguments which the separat-
lists have employed can be, under the cir.
cumstances, of much weight. The simple
facts of the situation are against their po-
sition hopelessly. We have here about
$50, coo souls, with a territory capable of
subsisting %, ,O00 600 easily. 1t is true
that the extent Of this territory is such as
to produce certain inconvenience in the
administration of the laws, and especially
as regards litigation. 1t is also true that
the interests of the various sections are
diversified. This latter circumstance,
however, is no more an argument
for separation than in the case of
the various sessions of the Union,
or in the case of the various sections
of England, or France, or Italy, or Spain,
or Germany. Diversity of interests does
not hinder harmony of government,
especially when the form of government is
representative. But we have at present
a sparse and widely scattered population,

clearly determined. There appears in fact

THE SENATE ORGANIZATION.


The Democrats have the inside track in
the organization of the Senate, apparently,
and they are determined to take advantage
of their opportunity. The Republicans are
embarrassed by the fact that four of their
seats are vacant, and all they can do is to
protest against the Democratic programme,
and hint at what they will or may do here
after, when their full number is present.
1t is scarcely worth while to argue about
the situation. Everybody sees that the
Republicans would have done just what the
Democrats propose to do, if they had pos
sessed the power, and therefore there is no
party aspect of the case which can
be made good. 1t is the fortune of war,
and the Republicans must make the best
of it. If presently they find themselves
strong enough to undo what is now pro-
posed, it is not to be doubted that they
will revolutionize things.

and it is to the common interest to make
our governmental expenses as light as possl-
bic. Two governments would involve a
very great increase of taxation. The idea
of the southern people that they could do
better if they formed State by themselves
is not justified by experience. In such
case they would simply have to bear all
the expenses of State government, and
they would soon find that they had gained
nothing in economy by taking upon them
selves this expensive increase of dignity.
What could separate government do for
them, moreover, that the present govern.
ment fails to do? Would it render settle
ment more rapid? Increase of taxation
does not usually have that result. Would
it make their soil more prolific, their
climate more genial, their business oppor-
tunities greater, their enterprise more keen:
Would it bring them practical advantages
in any direction, of kind and degree ca
pable of counterbalaneing the additional
expense incurred? We. cannot perceive
that it would do any of these things. 1t
would make more work for politicians. 1t
would create more openings for office-seek
ers. 1t would stimulate the ingenuity of
the class that lives upon the public-the
tax eaters, in short. But so far we have
not been able to perceive that the people
themselves, the taxpayers, that is to say,
have any reason for desiring such change
The southern counties will. we trust, form
part and parcel of California for genera
tions to come When this State has been
populated, when it is beginning to subsist
its natural proportion of inhabitants, it
will be time enough to discuss the question
of separation, though we have no doubt
that long before that time is reached the
advantages of a single government will
have been so generally recognized that all
this incipient agitation will have been for
gotten

he was burdened with debts to the amount of
$4,000 mostly on account of beque2ts

be regarded as ornaments. Holmes spoke

THE NIGHr-A1R SUPERSTITION.

Before we can hope to fight consumption
with any chance of success we have to get
rid of the night-air superstition. Like
the dread of cold water, raw fruit, etc., it
is founded on that mistrust Of our instincts
which we owe to our anti-natural religion.
1t is probably the most prolific single cause
of impaired health, even among the civil
lied nations of our enlightened age, though
its absurdity rivals the grossest deiusions of
the witchcraft era The subjection of holy
reason to hearsays could hardly go further.
" Beware of the night-wind be sure and
close your windows after dark - In other
words, beware Of Gods free air; be sure
and infect your lungs with the stagnant,
azotized and offensive atmosphere of your
bedroom. In other words, beware of the
rock spring stick to sewerage. Is night-air
injurious Isthere single pretext for such
an idea? Since the day of the creation
that air has been breathed with impunity
by millions of different animals tender,
delicate creatures, some of them-faTns,
lambs and young birds. The moist night
air of the tropical forests is breathed with
lmpunity by our next relatives, the
anthropoid apes-the same apes that
soon perish with consumption in the
close though generally well-warmed at
mosphere of our northern menageries!
Thousands of soldiers, hunters and lum.
bermen sleep every night in tents and open
sheds without the least injurious conse-
quences men in the last stage of consump-
ton have recovered by,kdopting a semi.
savage mode of life, and camping outdoors
in all but the stormiest nights Is il the
draught you fear, or the contrast of tenn.
perature? Blacksmiths or railroad.con.
ductors seem to thrive under such infiu-
ences. Draught? Have you never seen
boys skating in the teeth OF a snow.storm
at the rate Of fifteen miles an hour
"They counteract the effect of the cold
air by vigorous exercise" Is there
no other way of keeping warm
Does the north wind damage the fine
lady sitting motionless in her sleigh, or the
pilot and helmsman of storm.tossed
vessel? 1t cannot be the inclemency of the
open air, for even in sweltering summer
nights the sweet south wind, blessed
by all creatures that draw the breath of
life, brings no relief to the victim of aero
phobia. There is no doubt that families
who have freed themselves from the curse
of that superstition can live out and out
healthier IN the heart of great city than
its slaves on the ARREST highland of the
Apennines. DR.. Felix L. Oswald, in Popu-
lar Science Monthly.
