Retiring the Bayonet and Sabre.

Experienced ordnance officers steadily advo-
eating the disuse Of the bayonet and sabre. For
hundreds of years the between gunpowder and
steel has been going on, with the advantage and
gain always in favor of the former, and the bayo-
net and sabre must in their turn take their places
in museums by the side ofthe old pike aud cuir
ass They must yield to the revolver and rife ;

Wounded Veterans Visit the President.

On the third of this month delegation Of ex
soldiers each Of whom had lost moresmbs
in the war, called on President Garfield and pre-
sented petition asking the strict enforcement Of
sections 1852, 1854 and 1855 of the Revised Stat

relating to the civil service providing in the mat
ter Of Federal appointments that preference be
given to honorably ydischarged soldiers and sailors
The President said that he was heartily in sympa-

VIRGINIA REPUBLICANS
Meet in Committee and Resolve to
Run a Straight Ticket.

RICHMOND, Va, Jan. S.-Pursuant
to q recent call of the Republican
State executive committee the S ate
central committee met here to day,
with full representation. A paper,
in the soate of an address to the
Republican par Y of Virginia, was
prepared, and was offered and sup
ported in an eloquent speech by
Gen. VIM. G. Wyckham. After some
discussion the paper was adopted by
vote of 10 to 7, thus setting in
the negative the question of holding
a State convention at an early day.
The majority were in favor of holding
a convention as late as June er July,
and nominating a straight ticket for
State officers. The State executive
committee, Gen. Wyckham, chairman,
held meeting prior to the assem-
bling of the State central committee
and rescinded their action at a recent
meeting, requesting the central com
mittee to call State convention the
10th of March next. To-day action
is considered a victory for the straight
out Republicans Of the State against
any and all alliances with other par
ties.

New Orleans Partly Submerged
Water Still Rising.

New ORLEANS, Feb. 9.-Most ot
the breaks in the canal and levees
have been closed, but the water is
still rising slowly in the overfowed
district between the new canal and
Canal street. The water is within
four squares of Claiborne street
Much of the quarter between Canal
street and Bayou st. John is sub
merged, and almost the entire sec
tion between Bayou st. John and
Esplanade street to within four
squares of Claiborne street.
The schooner NJ. McChase, from
Rualon, brings news Of great excite
ment at Port Medina, owing to the
report that the COST Ricans are pre-
pairing to invade that section. The
people of Port Medina are preparing g
to make resistance.
New ORLEANS, Feb. 9.-The water
from the lake is gradually rising and
increasing the area Of overflow north
of New Orleans. The water has
reached Franklin street, the entire
section west being submerged be-
tween the new canal and Bayou st.
John. The water now covers all west
OF Priever street, except strip of a
f=w squares on either side of Canal
street, north of Bayou st. John and
the old basin. The water covers al
most the entire section west of Clai
| Oh,
Elysian street. All vegetable gar
dens in the rear of the city were de
stroyed, and some loss of stock is re-
ported, but no estimate can be made
for the damage done by the overflow,
and even greater damage seems
probable, since the water continues
rising. The fair grounds are entirely
submerged. The Claibourne-street
cars are only running to the bridge
on the old basin, the balance of
the road being impossible. The
greatest difficulty is experienced
by the inhabitants of the overfowed
districts in securing provisions.
The districts embrace about five
hundred thickly settled squraes
The damages along Louisville and
Nashville Company's New Orleans
and Mobile Railroad is very great,
and it will probably be many days
before the trains can pass over the
road from Michan to Lookout Sta
ton. The statement made yesterday
that boat had been placed to bring
passengers from Bayou st. Louis
to which point they would come from
Mobile and other points by rail was
incorrect. No boat has yet been
sent out. By the overflow Hugo
Lobnert has lost $50 head of cattle
on the ridge between Forts Pike and
McComb. Loss about $4,000.

HOUSE.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 9

!
counting of the electoral votes for
President and Vice-President, the
galleries of the House were filled
with spectators, a large majority Of
whom were ladies, desirous of wit
Messing that ceremony on the floor.
A few wooden chars were sandwich
ed in between the seats of the mems
bers for the accommodation of the
Senators, but other wise there was no
indication that any save the usual rou-
tine business of the House was to be
transacted. The indifference shown
by members who seemed only anx-
ious to obtain seats for their friends
in tue galleries was in marked con-
trast with the excitement which pre-
vailed during the electoral count IF
four years ago.
After the reading of yesterday S
Journal, the morning hour was dis
pensed with,and the House, at Ills,
went into committee of the whole,
Mr.. Carlisle, of Kentucky, in the
chair, on the legislative, executive
and judicial appropriation bill.
At 11.50 the committee rose, after
having concluded the consideration
of seventy OF the eightytwo pages
of the bill.
Mr.. Singleton, of Mississippi,
offered a resolution according the
privileges of the floor to ladies who
| have not been able to OBJ ain seats in
the galleries.
The resolution being adopted, a
large number of ladies entered the
chamber and obtained seats.
At a few minutes past II o'clock
the doorkeeper announced the ar
rival of the Vice President and the
Senate of The United States, who
then filed into the chamber. Vice
President Wheeler took a seat on the
right hand of Speaker Randall, and
the Senators were accommodated
with chairs in the front rows of
desks.
The Vice-President called the as
sembly to order, and said:
"The two houses being as
sembled in pursuance of
the Constitution, that the votes may
be counted and declared for Presi-
dent and Vice-President on the 4th
day of March, 1881, it becomes my
duty, under the Constitution, as
PRESIDENT of the Senate, to open the
cert'hcates of election of the several
states OF the Union, in the presence
OF the two houses, and I now pro-
ceed to discharge that duty"
The tellers, Messrs. Thurman and
Hamlln, on part of the Sena, @. and
Messrs. House and Crowley on
part of the House, having taken their
places at the clerk desk, the Vice
President said: 81 open a package
purporting to contain certificate of
election of the State of Alabama, and
hand the certificate to be reported. -
The certificate having been read very
slowly by Senator Hamlin, and hav-
ing shown that the electors of the
State of Alabama had cast 10 votes
of that State for Winfield Scott
Hancock for President, and 10 votes
for William FL. English for Vice
President, the Vice-President said j:

The Hawaiian gazette., 1881-04-13

To tax it twice is to tax it twice its value. But
for all that, double taxation is going on. To
tax the stock of corporation, and also its
property or plant and franchise, is double tax
alton. 1t is equivalent to taxing mans house
and the deed therefor. There is also double
taxation in taxing savings banks deposits to
the deposition and also to the bank. There
does not appear to be room for argument on
these points. The Senate has passed bill to
prevent double taxation in these particulars,
but the parties who denied that there was
double taxation in the New Constitution, are
opposing it vel emently."
The deposits in savings banks is another
mooted point. The bank returns for taxation
its securities, treated by loans from deposits
and the individual depositor is required to
make return of his credit at the bank foT tax
alton also.
But are stocks really property? Who shall
decide when learned and unlearned doctors
disagree? Happy Hawaii as yet has no
Stock Board, no daily almost money quota
items of prices to vex or middle the brains Of
its citizens or drive its Assessors wild over
what may be wealth to-day, so far as imagina-
ton is concerned and drops Tomorrow.
Watered stocks are rare, dividends paid out of
bonanzas are unknown; bullish and bearish
manu9vers are still undomiciled and honest
stock presents its honest front to the bOna-hde
buyer, and conscientious assessor; your Courts,
Ministers and citizens can still look with I'M
BIASED vision upon this question, upon which
in this State thousand contradictory and
perchance false lights are thrown. Y.
