Tho Gazotte's Hilo Letter.

HILO, October 2jrd, 1855.
A DIFFERENT yIEw.
EDTTOR GAZETTE I'm your last issue, was sorry
10 see so much, petty spite, vented by of our
HllO candy pedlers Capt Matson, of the
schooner Emma ClaioiiHd. The writer had better
stick to the truth and his little shop, rather than
insulting better men by such false statements.
know that Capt. Matson has license 10 sell goods,
and If he can undersell, him Of candy shOp-why
is all legitimate trade.-As 10 the hint that Capt.
MatSOn had 10 do with the opium landed from the
schooner Emma Ci0HiiHd, the cook who was found
guilty of the same, stated in the Court that he had
used his nips money 10 buy the said opium with,
and that he alone was responsible for it. Such
trying TO injure Others Is only par, with other
acts of said writer. The spitefUl fling at the
Sheriff, about the Court House, was unCalled for.
The Sheriff has had little experience in the let
ting of the Hall to all kind of shows He cannot be
blamed for wanting TO keep the Hall in some kind
Of order. So much for that.
THE EEw HIIO CORRESPONDENT.
Now for the Hilo Correspondent in the last
.idrcytisC-lt is way up" for an utter stranger
only two or three weeks a resident in this place to
wright as he does. Well he can be excused.
Boarding with the Noble ar. S. he ought not to
turn around and kick him but as all his knowledge
on the premises, must come from the H. s. him
self, he ought TO be careful how he writes it as
truth. Who told him that HilO had not seen '2i
hours consecutive dry weather since May last?
The roads have frequently been dusty, except the
u,rfR W"d holes, for days at a timer
SOLID FACT.
That "solid fact (which every one knows"
that ten or twelve good bridges have been erected
during the past year is fact only known to the
Great Il. s." but bridge has been put up in this
District the past year except l put up by pJiratc
enterprise. The only bridges put up are, those
put up before the last Legislature. The truth is
that no irDyk to speak of has been done on the
HilO roads, since June 1888. 1t perhaps has not
been the r. $. fault but 1t is the fault of the Gov
eminent somewhere. The cause of our bad roads
has not been the "bad weather. but the want of
cash from the Treasury. Here is now chance for
us-as our road tax, will soon be in tsOme 10000
dollars.) But do you Mr. Editor suppose our roads
will get any of it2 1t will be all needed to carry
on the election fight. You see if it don't. Before
close must say that, two or three of the worst
really well done, shelving that little work might
have been done long since, and helped the roads
much
ELECTIONS.
The Government ticket, Messrs. " kaulukOu and
Pahia" is early in the field, bolstered up by the
assessorship and the collectorship. But HIlJ Ia,
maainas, won't it, if any fair independents
take the field against them. The celebrated ke-
kOa, again unfurls his flag in Puma and unless,
him, will bid fair to control the ballot there as he
is the collector in that District. Who is giving
bonds for all these iHpectUoHs tax collectors. Re
port hath it that Messrs. Spreckels d Co. have
given bonds for all the collectors that could not
get them elsewhere. Is that sOr
HON o. PuIPo.
That noble Independent PiipO is on the war
path, and will stump Puma, HilO and Hamakua,
on behalf of Reform and honest Government and
1t is well known his efforts always to the point.
There is but little doubt, but that Hawaii, can be
carried for the side of Honest Government, if all
its friends come up to the fight intending to do.
HAWAII.
