South sen I.Iaud News.

The correspondent Of the n. u. Herald writes
under date, Taiohae, (Marquesas islands), Nov.
10 Sine my last there has not been a great
deal to chronicle. The chief events of the month
have been the arrival here of the French ironclad
Triomphante, Admiral D~upetit-Thouars and fleet,
which sailed for Tahiti a fortnight ago. Yester-
day we were surprised at seeing q large steamer
bearing the Russian flag enter the large bay
which forms our harbour. She proved to be the
Russian war steamer Afrika, 10 days from Homo
lulu, bound for Auckland Admiral Aslambegoff
kindly sent his magnificent band on shore here
this afternoon, which played u selection of music
for two hours, giving quite u gay appearance To
our otherwise dull port of residence. The natives
swarmed In from all parts, loaded with oranges,
cOcOauuts, &c., whilst the elite of our European
population rvclined on some comfortable chairs,
considerably placed on the lawn by the French
authorities. and enjoyed the music under the re-
freshing shade Of an enormous breadfruit tree
Auckland. 18th December.-During this month
We have received news of another Island mas
sacre. Mr.. II. A Mair, Government agent, the
mate. and two Fijians, of the schooner Isabella,
having been attacked and massacred by the
natives ON the island Of Santo, New Hebrides
Great dissatisfaction Is expressed by the traders
in these islands NJ the inadequate protection &C
corded to them by the British vessels of war.
IL Il alleged that the savage islanders do not at
tack traders Of other natiOnalities than English,
knowing that swift vengeance will be taken.
The subject Is of much Importance to us here, as
Auckland i naturally fitted to become the EN-
porium of the Island trade. and many of those
engaged in the business belong to this port. 1t
is with satisfaction, therefore, that we observe
that the European Governments chiefly JIM
terested are to consult together on the whole
subject of Polynesia. N. u. Herald.
sydney, December 20.-ResPecting the mas
sacre Of the erev Of the schooner Isabella, at
Santo Island, where the natives are cannibals,
they made "A feast OF the crew, and all the
remains were scalded, scraped, and got ready
for cooking. This was the affair in which Mr.
II. A. Mar was murdered.)
4 correspondent of the n. Il. Herald writes
from Apia, Samoa, AS followa - November I'd,
a few davs ago a Government schooner arrived
from Tonga with a deputatioT from King George
TO invite 1~Ialietoa to spend Christmas in Tonga,
I believe the invitation is accepted, and at q Ger
tain date King George proceeds to Fauyau to
meet him and escort him to Tonga. To-day there
has been a great and peaceable meeting to pre-
SEM the Tongese with . welcome in the shape of
food etc. Since that a cricket match was played
between the Tongese and the shore folks, result
nc in a victory for Apia. Old King George is
yePv aged, and biased a good deal by communi-
nation with people from Fiji. There Is little
1oubt in our minds that a little diplomacy IS At
work. which at present is not divulged, but the
wheels keep revolving.

II surprises us to see so intelligent
and discreet an authority upon such
subjects as Harper's Weekly discussing
the subjects of contributions from office
holders in manner that seems to us
hasty and precipitate. Promising that
very large sums of money are raised by
contributions from Office holding sour
ces, and that this is an indication that
this class is more interested than the
public at large in Republican success,
it goes on to ask elf it is the officehold-
ers who are now mainly interested In
that success, why should the country
help to keep them in place? On the
contrary why should not the country
feel 1t to be a duty to keep out of office
those who raise an enormous fund to
keep themselves in?,' These questions
are so easily answered that we almost
wonder at their being asked. The only
offense alleged against these officials ls
that they contribute money for political
purposes to keep themselves in office. 1t
is not pretended that the money is in
tended to be or is used corruptly. They
have had experience in their various
positions, and it is presumed that they
are honest, industrious and faithful.
The Government gets from them full
equivelaut for the money it pays them.
They desire to retain their places. Is
that strange They contribute according
to their means toward defeating party
which if it were to succeed would inn
mediatGly dismiss them. Is that unna-
tural? Is it proper? Shall we discharge
these tried and faithful servants because
they have contributed money to- keep
themselves In office? If sn, whom shall
we put in their places? Why the men,
of course, who have contributed to get
themselves in Office. Is this reform
Would it promote public morality or
political purity? Would It raise the
standard of official qualifications or ele-
vate the tone of public life? Would II
not be better, on the whole, for earnest
reformers 10 give little more thought
to consequences and act little less
upon impulse. There may be reforms
that do not reform.-N. Y. Tribune.

TuEnE are sixteen states in which $

TEERE are sixteen states in which sla-
very grew and until recently existed, and
in which the effects of that institution
still linger. The Southern States, with
only one-tLird the Nations population
contains three-fourths of the Nations
illiterates, and the ignorance is almost
wholly among native-b born citizens. Illit-
eracY among foreigners passes away as q
ruls in one generation, but among native
adult Americans of the South when
found in large masses, it indicates gen.
erations of ignorance, with all the &C.

incident to ignorant people. or the

wlo cannot read their ballots, 1 SOC, 900
live in the Southern States. From these
States every four years 13S electoral
votes, three-fourths of enough to elect
the President, are chosen. From the
same section come 81 per cent. of ma
jority In the U. S. Senate, and like
large proportion Of our National Repre-
sentatives. A very large proportion Of
the ignorance Of the South as among the
white people, and this illiteracy is as
large today as before the war. Where
such ignorance prevails there can be no
intelligent use of the ballet and political
demagogues ply their trade to the inju-
ry If not death of the body polite.

The Result.

The unfavorable result of the election
was not entirely unexpected by the Repub-
licans, although the magnitude of the de-
feat was surprise. 1t was conceded by
those best qualified to judge that the
change of what is called the liquor vote
from the Republican party to the Demo
cracy would make a difference in the rela-
tive vote of 10000 to %, 900, but even this
estimate proved to be too low. 1t is only
on the suppositiol that the temperance
legislation of last winter and the platform
of the Republican party alienated the whis-
key vote, that the very large falling off
can lie accounted for. 1t is defeat, how
ever, that we can well afford to suffer, for
it will result in dividing the parties on the
issue of temperance and rapid education
of the people that will sooner or later give
us entire prohibition of the liquor traffic.
The Republican party can better afford de-
feat for ten years to come on this issue than
victory obtained by coalition with, and
the support of the whiskey ring. The DEM
ocracy have very little occasion for rejoic

free rum and no Sabbath.
The result in this Congressional District
was not only affected by the temperance
question, but by the most bitter personal
contest we have witnessed. There can be
no objection TO opposition to a candidate
of another political faith on grounds of
public policy or lack of ability or of grossly
immoral character. but no individual or
party has any right to trump up untruth-
full or slanderous charges affecting private
character with purpose of defeating his
election. We can excuse some heat and
extravaganza and intemperanceo Of language
during the excitements of political CAM
paign, but personal politics, carried to
such extremes as in the recent canvas, is
neither healthy or honorable. We know
how easy ii is 10 sec the sins of our neigh
bors while we excuse ourselves, and so
will make no personal application of our
remarks, but leave it for each one to ans
wer to his conscience whether he has been
entirely just TO the candidate of the oppos-
ing party.
