tanned the longitude of the place, bringing his
positions into almost absolute identity with
those of Capt. Tupman aud the observers of
the Transit of Venus Expedition In about
the middle of 1877 he was struck with an
attack of heat-apoplexy from the effect of
which he never completely recovered He
went up to Portland for the benefit of his
health, and returned after an absence of few
months and went again,to the Coast, resgning
his office in September 1879, and died at Liver
more, Alameda County, on the 23d June. Ii is
believed that Capt. Smith had collected great
quantity ofvauable data in regard to the nayi-
CATION of the Pacific, and there was no reliable
source OF information on these subjects ich

part OF the world, was applied to for informa-

the corrections of untrustworthy positions of
islands, reefs, harbors, ETC., throughout this
ocean which he had compared and tabulated,
and we hope that this work may not be lost
to the world. Though not exactly n very old
man in years, he had lived long and useful
and honorable life, and leaves many friends
who may say of him eve ne'er may look
upon his like again. Col. Allen, Collector
General, on whose nomination Capt Smith was
appointed Harbor Master, states Capt. Smith
had the fullest confidence of the native seamen
who were discharged before him. This was
very marked, so that native seldom would

sufficient amount and variety of wholesome
tempting food. The law of the country
requires strict fulillment of contracts, but
talk of serfdom is a folly in a country that
mas no military organization and preserves
order through the power exercised on an
island like Maui, by ten or dozen native
| constables, scattered through nearly as many
parishes. The law gets itself administered by
moral force and not by physical" After this
the Chronicle tells story on the authority of
Herman Schussler as follows, which he says

OF Missionary had a tall, powerful Irisbman,
under contract which is as binding on the EN-.
ployer as on the employed. This person set the
lrishman to roll heavy stone which he could
just move through the dust, along public
road, under burning sun, amid the jeers of
a crowd OF native women and children When
the poor fellow stopped for breath and to wipe
the ,persplration from his face, his master
would say: Now, will you give up your
Then roll that stone along So it went on
until the destination was reached. "Now,"
SAID the master, "will you give up your con-
tract No, never" was the bold answer
Then. roll it back again" He rolled it
few yards, then stopped and said az am
beaten; will give it up The scoundrel
employer had won. Mr.. Schussler stepped
up ana asked master and man If the man was
free. Both replied yes" Mr.. Schussler at
once engaged him at two dollars dav and
found, and sent him to Mr.. Spreckels' pianta
ton, where he found that this honest fellow
was not only the strongest but one of the most
handy, willing and civil fellow among the
numbers employed on the canal and irrigation
WORKS. lie seems to us that this story is on
the face of it absurd, and can assure the
-h!Tc6dd that the ordinary machinery of the
police and law Courts in these Islands is
snihclent to prevent unfair contracts made by
the ignorance OF one party or the cupidity of
the other from being entered into and carried
out. Mr.. Spreckels explained that Z" it was
nonsense to say that the contracts were with
held from the immigrants and that they did
not Know the terms of their engagements,
because each had copy" aud then upsets
the story about the alleged Indifference to
breaking up of families Further. that the
greatest possible distance which father and
son or brother and brother, and these are
adults, could be separated, would be sixteen
miles, and there is railroad by which they
can travel most of the distance, when they
desired to visit each other" The Chronicle
article Will probably have wide circle of
readers who do not know who Messrs. Chlau-
sen ana Schusslcr are, aud care more for SEN
satioh than for truth. IL is pity that such
n'iS'epfesehtallons and untruths can be circu-
'a,eu perhaps on Il larger scale than their
REPUTATION can be. However, we feel assured
.hat those who know anything of the planters

By the australia we learnt the death of
Capt Daniel Smith, late Harbor Master and
Captain of the Port of Honolulu, valuable
public servant while his health lasted a gen.
tlelnan OF rare talents and requirements AS IA
geographer aud nautical astronomer, we have
known of few equals. OF wide experience and
keen observation, he knew the various great
oceans, the Indian and Pacific in particular,
as few men know them; a genial friend, a
most generous and kind-hearted man, hi. loss
is to be regretted by all, for his sterling quail
ties, professional and social. Daniel Smith
was born in Banff, Scotland, about sixty-fye
