A Corrections.

In the report of the proceedings in the
Supreme Court. on Wednesday last. in the
Bridges trial, published in yesterdays P. G..
ADVERTISER, Mr.. Bowler, one of the jurors,
is made to say that he told the Judge 10
thought 6 the defendant ought to bo
hanged" and he was, therefore, excused
from serving rs juror on the case. These
words were taken, with other portions Of
the report of tho mornings proceedings,
from the report published in the Daily
Hdacdiian of Wednesday last, that paper
receiving them, wi til the rest of its report,
from q party especially hired to report the
proceedings.
1t is now ascertained that Mr.. Bowler
made no such statement. & He stated, in
brief, that he was friend of the deceased
Patten, and upon the Judge asking him il
he thought he would be unable, on that
account, to decide in the case impartiaIly,
he said yes, and was excused from sitting on
1nasmuch as the one who furnished the
report to tho HaaoaiiGn came down here
originally as a reporter for that paper, the
supposition was that he would perform his
duties in this case fairly and impartially
and his report was accepted by both the
Hateaiidb and the ADvERTIsER as being cor
rect. It Gurns out that it was not, and WI
beg to apologize to Mr.. Bowler for having
done him an injustice Though unwittingly)
and to the public for having led them astrsy
in the matter.

Use of 75c, on the dollar was effected by the

Macfarlane, and yesterday we learned that
the assignees had settled with the San

Mr.. Woolmington retiring from the
business, and . Mr.. Ehlers continuing
same. The largest San Francisco creditors,
Messrs. Murphy, Grant & Co. and Inuser
Bros, were represented by Mr.. Macfarlane
in the assigneeship. Notwithstanding the
hard times and extreme depression of trade
these firms made a very satisfactory show
ing, and indicates pretty solvent condition

OUR TRADE WITH AMERICA.

The San Francisco Call in an arti-
ole about the Reciprocity Treaty
lately made the following statement:
"The importation OF American pro-
ducts into the Islands has somewhat
increased, but not in proportion to
the increase Of their general importa-
tions." Similar statements have APP
peared In ether journals including
the San Francisco Chronicle That
the last named journal should indulge
In such mis-statement is just what
we might have expected, but as the
other Journals referred to are not in
the habit OF accepting the CtronseEe as
an authority on matters Hawaiian,
we cannot but assume that some one
has been furnishing them with falsi-
fed statistics.
So far as practicable, we propose to
adduce the figures bearing on the
case as q complete REPUTATION of the
statement we have quoted. We will
so no further than the annual statis-
tics OF orr foreign commerce furnish
ed by the COllectOr-Generalo of Gus
toms. These give the name Of the
country from which our imports
come in all cases except when they
are free Of duty from whatever source
they come. Why these goods should
be emitted from the classification by
countries which is given for all others
we do not know; and we beg to sug-
gest to the Collector-GeneraI that this
portion or Table 2 of the Annual
Statistics might with advantage be
remodelled. Judging from the char
acter Of the goods as enumerated we
should assume that much more than
half these goods are from the United
States, but as we cannot deal with
them exactly we will leave them al
together out of the reckoning. They
are always less than five per cent. in
value Of the whole annual importa-
ton. The Treaty came into force
September 9th, 1876, so that the fol-
lowing year Is the first in which its
effects are plainly shown. Our con.
temporary the Cal says that since
that date our importation of Ameri-
caA product" has som ctUhnt increas-
ed. We import some things from Amer
lea that are not the products of the
United States, so to adhere closely &c
the wording of the quotation we viii
deal first with the articles which arc
''free by Treaty." all of which are pro
ducts of the United States. Our i'm
pOrtstions of this class of goods, dur
ing the years named below have beer
