them could be induced to leave 1t under
any circumstances. In short, he says
he will stand for their good behavior.
Neither does he think that any of them
should be tried for past offenses, for be

he would endeavor to protect them in

Crook felt that this was the best poll
cy under the circumstances He regret
ted AZ much as anybody that these red
handed murderers should be allowed to
return to their reservation under the
protection of the Government, and
said: "The murdered dead We cannot
bring back; we must protect the living

it necessary to promise them this pro-
lection so far as il lay in his power, in
order to bring them all in and save the
people from their raids. and il he vas

Compulsory Vaccination.

An outrage III the name of law is reported in
IN Il press dispatch from Baltimore, dated Janu-
airy 18th last. George W. Watts aud Mrs.
Stirling were brought before Justice C~ashmeyer,
charged by DR.. DashieIl with refusing to be
vuccinated. The law was read by the Justice
with especial emphasis on the penalties. Watts
said that in 1855 he had It daughter vuccinated,
and she became inUculated with a dreadful dis
ease put into her system by tie scab used in
vaccination. lie said in conclusion that, ''un-
less he knew where the scab c,me from which
was to enter his flesh, he would not be vaccinatod.
Both Watts and Mrs.. Sterling were sent to Jail,
where being pinioned, they received compulsory
application of Il scab provided at the station. !"
We presum that these persons must have been
kept pinioued for some time IN order to insure
the taking of the virus, because otherwise they
could have readily washed it out. But what an
outrage on the liberty Of the citizen 1t Is
stated in the Baltimore journal, that, "under a
scare of smallpox Il number Of young doctors
have been started out armed vita a lancet ana
Il quantity of questionable scab, ana have inocu-
lated the veins Of every third or fourth healthy
person with a scrofulouS faint of Others Now.
Mr.. Watts and Mrs. Sterling had as much right
and reason ia believe that vaccination Is danger
Gus, as the physicians had to say that il would
prevent smallpox. and the conner had "a right
to protection from such 4 brutal inquisitiOu.
The Baltimore journalist states that, we be
lieve that authentic statistics would show that
the percentage of vaccinated persons, who have
suffered the inhictlon Of vaccination IS greater
than the percentage Of the entire population,
who have taken smallpox, ana if Mr. Watts
would make a test case Of this matter he would
o tain justice for the outrage committed upon
him.. What we want IN this country is protec-
ton from the arbitrary action of the health Of
fcers. The quarantine is legitimate, but ell
forced vaccination is barbaroUs, and the in
dIyidual should assert the right to protection
under the law" There has been no occasion to
complain of enforced vaccination in these IS
lands such as the case represented above, but
there has been PROFESSIONALLY a great deal III
years past Of careless and iudIscrlmiuate vac
c@iuation, and all persons have a T ght, as con-
tended for by Mr.. Watts, TO know exactly the
source of. and to be satisfied with the character
Of, any vaccine scab that Is to be applied to
themselves or their children.

Our bitter and unscrupulous enemy, the
san Francisco Chronicle, has changed the
ground Of its attacks from slavery" to
leprosy. The former subject Is evidently
played out, and we may derive some salts
faction, III view of the utter failure Of an
INSCRIPTIONS and matchmaking sheet to do
Us any permanent injury by the discussion
of the former subject, that il will have no
better success with the latter. However,
the accusation of slavery" had no founda-
ton whatever. 1t was an entirely malicious
misrepresentation, whereas, we are sorry to
say, that leprosy is an acknowledged ma
tional calamity, But in regarding ii, in an
enlightened and truthful spirit, II affords no
grounds for the gross eXaggeratiOns, for the
mischievOus suggestions, and for the wicked
cutlery Of alarm and threatened quarantine
proposed by our enemy on the Coast. But
the YiTuleuce Of ms attack has been amply
suggested and ]fonIeuted by enemies at
home-enemies of public interest-enemies,
we would say, constantly striving TO rule or
ruin, o We might say, to ruin alone to
destroy the political organization of the
country, and to bring about q surrender of
its independence. The final aim and object
Of the san Francisco Chronicle is not
merely opposition to reciprocity, but the
destruction of our Government. and such Is
Enthusiastically the aim of our local oppo-
sitien press. What other object can
they have in view when they ~eXaggerate
every particular and circumstance connect
ed with lepTosy in thisc country; when they
represent u lII8ilttIicu people lGCIIiB lIlO
the mountains and when they report "hoT-
rifed families fearing contact with diseased
people even in the street They are en-
deavOring to prove that the whole COM
munity is living under a state of horror
and apprehension, and that nothing has
been lone by the authorities to avert the
evil. What else can be the object of such
u malignant and lying misrepresentation,
but a traitorous hostility to the Hawaiian
Kingdom? The view of the state of things
alleged to exist here, as represented by our
opposition press, and quoted and copied by
the San Francisco Chronicle, is essentially
false. The disease of leprosy, though la
mentable, is cared for and provided for by
the State. More effort has been made in
the way of segregation by the present au-
thorities in their time than during any pre-
vious similar period. The foreign
ity has no reasonable ground for any alarm,
and feels none. No traveller has incurred
any risk by IL visit TO our shores, and not
one of the multitude coming and going by
the fleets of vessels of all kinds that enter
our ports, has received any faint from the
disease of leprOsy, nor would any traveller
have any occasion to observe it's existence
in the country, unless he should go out of
his way and visit the hospitals, where it is
treated and cared for.
The present cutlery of the San Francisco
Chronicle is n most atrociOuS one, but we
must confess, that our INSCRIPTIONS enemy
has found ample material and authority
for it's dastardly onslaught on this little
country, in the columns of our opposition
press.

THE handling and despatch of over fifteen
Thousand pieces of mail matter on Tuesday
last by the employees in the General Post
Office here, was a feat worthy of record, and
proves what has often been said, that that
Department is thoroughly well organized
and controlled. The plan of Keeping Il
late letter bag" open to within dfteen
minutes of the time when the steamer for
San Francisco was 20 start from the wharf,
was tried for the first time on Tuesday after
nOOn, and was Il great success. From all
the business houses in town lett, Is came
pouring in, ana at the last moment the
bags kept open at the bookstores, as we'll
rs the c~onsignees bag. were handed in. The
steamer was to sail at Z O'Clock sharp but
owing probably to some difference in clocks
she swung out from the wharf Il little before
that hour, and got under way as the mail
wagon drove up at the edge of the wharf
two minutes before seven.
The mail bags were hurried into the
pilot BOAT which Immediately followed the
steamer out, but in the contest between
steam and oars the boat was left behind,
and the steamer was obliged to wait about
thirty minutes outside, to receive the mail
that could have been put Oh board in five
minutes at the wharf.
The >teamer left before : o'clock. The
mail bags were at the edge of the wharf
two minutes before that time, and thus, Il
difference in time of but two minutes en-
tailed a delay Of at least thirty outside the
reef. These facts lead Us to make some
suggestions. First, we would suggest that
the General POst-Oflice close their late let
ter bag' thirty minutes before the sailing
Of the mail IN Fifteen minutes is
rather too short a time, we opine, in which
to prepare and deliver these bags. The
second suggestion is, that the time y in
postal matters be taken from the PoSt-Otice
clock always presuming that that clock
shall be regulated daily by signal from the
Government Survey DEPARTMENT.. And, to
notify the steamer people Of the time, a
gong could be placed on the steamer wharf
as is done at the points OF departure of
the Atlantic mail steamers-and connected
through the telephone office with the Post
Office. Let this gong be sounded from the
Post-Oflice a few minutes before the sailing
hour rs n signal that the mail has then been
sent TO the steamer, and at the hour as Il
signal or her to 20. This would place the
responsibility of having the mail on boa d,
on time, where it belongs, and ensure hav-
ing the hour ofdeparture strictly adhered to.

WE append to the above statement a re-
port of DR.. Fitch in regard to the foreign
patients treated at the Leper Hospital on

that every one of the cases, by the confes-

"a reckless manner, provoked the contrac-
ton of the disease. The associations have
