His Majesty the King entertained Prof.
Agassiz at dinner yesterday evening. The
Band played several choice selections during
the entertainment.
The HaUaiian of Tuesday stated that
when the James Makee was 50 12O " miles of
from Kauai ''last night" the officers saw the
light from fire on that island. AS Kauai IS
only 80 miles from Honolulu, it follows that
the Makee must have run 80 miles past Oahu
on her trip up in the night, and that the fire
her officers saw was somewhere on the wind
ward side Of this island.

principles NOR, amply than was possible in the
midst Of civil war. He guided the nation
through the transition from the one to tina other,
as Mr.. johnson had failed to do. And he set its
face toward results which have not yet been
achieved, and laid foundations on which we still
are building As regards the maintenance Of the
public faith pledged for the national debt, the
elevation Of the freedman to citizenship, the res
torstion OF our currency, the civilization Of the
Indians, President Grants eight years Of govern
ment have as honorable = record "a any eight
years Of our history. These are the great matters
by which his political career will be weighed
when the faults Of his presidency are forgotten.
And Of his failures az ruler, we may say that
they cleaned TO virtues side" It was his loyalty
TO his friends under Are" which led him TO turn
a deaf ear even to well-founded charges, and
which caused the unthinking part Of the public
TO regard him A. destitute Of proper detestaton
for some grave abuses Of public trust.
When the passions of the war time
shall have died out, when all the ami
mosities Of the reconstruction period
shall have been softened by the lapse of
years, when the great figure of Grant
shall have receded 80 far as to admit of i'm
partial, unbiased criticism, we are con.
hdent that no part of his record will be re-
ceived with more general approval than
the history of his two terms in the white
house The justice now given to Presi-
dent Washington, the justice that is be.
ginning to be accorded to President Lin
coin, will come to President Grant. His
reputation is grand enough to wait for
this contamination.

DEMOCRATIC CONSISTENCY.

In the appointment of the New York
custom house officials it is evident that
the President intended to avoid the Sc
lection of political bosses, and 1t is gen.
orally conceded that he met with fair
degree of success in carrying out this
intention.
A contest of the same character rs that
which recently closed in New York city
is being waged for the same class of posi-
tions in the principal western cities. At
st. Louis Mr.. Whitney, the surveyor Of
customs, is charged with being an ''offen-
sive partisan" Inasmuch US he is Re-
publican and holds an unexpired com
mission, it is necessary to present some
reason, real or imaginary, for his suspen-
sion. Under the "offensiye partisan"
dodge this is proposed to be accomplished.
But to exhibit the peculiar consistency
of the Democratic brethren in Missouri,
it is only necessary to state that their
candidate for this Offensive partisan's"
place is Il. ID. Lancaster, of st. Louis,
formerly state senator, and known as
political boss-in fact better known for
political bossing than for anything else.
The Democratic journals of his state
have conferred GU him the name of
Dark Lantern Dick" indicative of his
manner of operating in politics.
If the old spoils system were in vogue
Mr.. Lancaster would be proper candi-
date for the place. He did the machine
work for 'the victors," and would be en-
titled to his share of "the spoils."
But, if Lancaster should be appointed,
the President would reverse the policy
laid down in his letters, in his inaugural
address, and in repeated declarations on
the subject of civil service reform. In
fact, he would stultify himself.
Democratic constituency, thou art in
deed jewel

CONVICT COMPETITION.

Mr.. Manning has made a fundamental
error in entertaining bid rs the basis of
II public contract resting upon servie,
convict, or slave labor. The law speaks
of convicts as class in involuntary
servitude for crime. When the law in
vites bids for the construction of govern
ment works it contemplates proposals
made from the standpoint of free. not
q criminal, labor market. Mr.. Manning,
had he been properly advised, would
have rejected the involuntary servi-
tude bid as one not authorized
to be received or considered The gov
ernment possesses the power to reject
any an all bids for public works, and
the law requires bid, below cost to be
rejected. This rests upon the hypothesis
that it is unsound public policy to receive
bids springing from an underestimate of
the actual value of labor. The law con-
templates that, where labor forms an
element of value, or of cost, in the erec-
ton of government buildings, or the con-
struction of government improvements,
that element shall represent free,
intelligent, and honest labor, and
not criminal servitude. Other.
wise honesty is punished as well
as crime. Criminal labor is exceptional
and condemned labor, and cannot there
fore be considered in law as the criterion
to measure the value of labor, which
the law coutemplates shall be employed
by government contractors. Further
more prison labor is subject to the dis
cipline of the particular prison in which
the convict is worked, and the hours of
labor are not fixed by law as the honest
labor is. This fact makes it possible to
exact from the convict more than can be
required of free labor, and free labor is
thereby injured by such competition.

THE BURIAL PLACE,

II we could be assured that protests
against the interment Of the remains of
Gen. Grant in Central Park, New York,
would be of any avail, it would be a
duty as we'll rs source of satisfaction to
give utterhnce to such protests.
Outside of New York the feeling is
almost universal that Gen. Grant should
not be buried in that city, and that, if
buried there, the least appropriate Of all
supposable localities is the pleasure
ground that has been designated as his
place of sepulture.
And even in New York city there is q
feeling that rises above local pride, into
the domain of justice and propriety, and
asserts itself in q candid declaration, by
portion of the press and people, that
the nations savior and idol ought to be
buried in the nations capital.
But since the family of Gen. Grant
have accepted the proposition of Mayor
Grace, and seem satisfied with the
place proposed, we know of no proper
means that can be efectually employed
for securing reconsideration of the
question.
The decision, violative as it is of all
the proprieties, distasteful as it is to the
American people in general, regretted Us
it must be in all time to come, must be
accepted, and it is not best to fill the air
with complaining, for harsh notes of
discord should not be heard while the
nation is in mourning for the dead hero

nation, with whom we have 80 recently

are not giving us maledictions instead Of

And we do not believe the French peo-
pie honestly think there was any just
cause for the war which Louis Napoleon
opened on Germany fifteen years ago
this summer However much Germany
may have erred in continuing to fight
and humiiate the republic after the hol-
low sham of the empire had been brushed
away, she was compelled to fight till that
time, and the conditions of the two
countries compelled America to syma-
pathize with the party that did not be-
gin and was not responsible for the war.

tent change in American public senti-
ment, for the conditions had changed.

There is no doubt whatever that the
sentiment of the majority of the 80, ,0O0,-
600 of people of the Union would have
selected Washington as the proper rest
ing place for the remains of Gen. Grant,
with the erection there, in the city of
national monuments, of magnificent
memorial to the great general. Several,
indeed nearly all, of the foremost sol
diers of the nation, from Washington
and jackson down to those of a later
day, are honored by monuments and
statues at the national capital, and Gen.
Grants effigy no doubt will be conspicu-
Gus among them, but there would have
been a peculiar propriety in burying his
body there, in close proximity to the
ground where 30 many of his own sol
diers sleep in the national cemetery at
Arlington. York World.
