The Gre at Generals Ot the War.

The only two great commanders now living who taced each other in ma king the thrilling and crimsoned annals ofthe late civil war arc Gen. William T. Sherman, Gen. Jose ph E. Johnston. Grant met Lee, Joseph and Sidney John ston Beauregard, Bnckner, Bragg and Pemberton in battle, as chief com. manders, and of them Joseph E., Johnston, Beauregard and Buckner survive.
 Meade, who met the terrible shock of battle at Gettysburg, was borne to the City of the Silent within a short time of the imposing southern pageant that committed the dust of Lee to the mother dust; and Thomss and Hood, who fought the last great battle of the war at Nashville, both sleep the dreamless sleep of the dead.
 Sherman and Johnston alone re- main of the great commanders who locked horns with each other in the flame of battle. Their campaign from Chattanooga to Atlanta and from Atlanta to the sea, was the most brilliant of the war, and tn ey are the only two great commanders who are left to sit down and talk their battles over, as they often do in the heartiest good fellowship. Of the many commanders of the heroic Army of the PatOmac, none remain, with the single exception of General Mcclellan. Scott, Me- Dowell, Burnside, Hooker, Meade and Grant, who in turn commanded that magnificent army, have all gone to join the great majority, and Longstreet is the only one of Lees great lieutenants who fingers with theliving. Jackson, Hill Eyelland Stuart. who were in every great conflict of the Army of Virginia, rest with their great cheiftain of Arlington.
 Joseph E. Johnston and G. T. Beauregard are the only surviving confederate commanders who led great armies to battle, and they are whitened by the frosts of time. J Johnston has been in congress, and Is now at the head of the national railroad bureau, while Buregard is bartering his fame in the market.place where lot tery swindlers rob the multitude.

Miss Cleyeland's Earlier History.

About sixteen years ago a ayoung lady was engaged as teacher of a private school in Lebanon. The publisher of this paper paid the tui. ton fee of one of her pupils, and the teacher passed in and ont of his house almost like one of the family. Ofpure English descent, she spoke English only, but out of regard for her surroundings here she soon ac- quired a little German, which she used on any suitable occasion. We looked upon her at that time as a lady of superior mental power, with noble principles and self reliance As a school teacher of unassuming department, the world in general took no more notice of her than of such idividuals as you will meet by hundreds in every town. The most inflated classes of Lebanon perhaps never bestowed a look of recOgni' ton upon her.
 After she had left Lebanon, about fourteen years ago, kept up some correspondence with some oi her friends here, which, however, gradually ceased, and she was almost forgotten by all except a few friends, who fondly kept her name in remembrance. An event which transpired in Chicago about a year ago brought the name oi

LOCAL SELF-GOVERNMENT.

The discussion of the Municipal
government question for Honolulu
has resolved itself into the simple
proposition, according to the Gazette,
of continued dependence upon the
Administration for the sake of evad-
ing direct taxation. Ia other words,
the Opposition press eonfesses that
it's party is not prepared to assume
the responsibility attendant upon
local government institutions. It
would, of course, like very much to
obtain control. of the general govern
ment, and run affairs to suit it's own
personal ends; but it is not prepared
to exercise the functions of local
governing body, like AnglO-Saxon
freemen all over the world, because,
forsooth, this would involve the pay
ment of direct taxes for municipal
purposes.
We are not arguing the point as to
whether this is wise or an unwise
policy. We are simply stating the
conclusions to which the articles in
the Opposition press upon this subject
inevitably point. Doubtless the
Legislature will take note of this fact.
Legislative bodies never go in ad-
vance of the demands of their con-
stituents. They are of necessity con-
sentative in their methods and policy.
When, therefore, the Legislative
Assembly of Hawaii understands, as
it must necessarily do from late press
comments relating to municipal
government for Honolulu, that this
community is not ready to assume
the responsibility of municipal
franchise involving local taxation, it
will not be likely to force one upon
an unwilling people. Nevertheless,
some simple form of local administra-
ton is needed to the proper care of
the streets and sanitary affairs.
What that form should be it Is not for
US to say. We should greatly prefer
complete local government, because
it would create a wholesome public
opinion, AMI get rid of sham and false
pretense which now SO largely pass
current for it.

THOSE FEW MILLIONS OF ACRES"

The Gazette has not the grace to
admit that it knowingly and wilfully
libelled Colonel SpreckeIs and the
Administration, on the 9th ultimo,
when it stated that the Government
had no difficulty in finding . few
millions Of acres for that gentleman,
while it could not find half an acre
fer an intending Portuguese settler.
It says, in reply to our exposure of it,
that this statement was can unhappy
slip of the pen," and that it meant
only few thousand acres. In the
language of the American girl of the
period, the Gozette's explanation is
too thin" 1t can deceive nobody,
and it is a subterfuge which could
only occur to a champion apologist of
the great Hawaiian party of moral
ideas, whose career is, unhappily for
the country, broadly marked over with
the wrecks of its own fine professions.
Or, not to put too fine point upon it,
the explanatory apology of the Ga
zette is the inevitable resort of a pro-
fessiOnaI trifer with truth when
cornered. 1t meant millions of acres,
as everyone knows; it said millions
of acres; and it would not have taken
back word of it's malicious fabrica-
ton if it had not been exposed. Be
ing, however, one of the pillars of
that superstructure of cant and hypoc-
racy, which has been so labOriously
raised in this community, and to
which reference was made in our
paper of the LIST instant, the Gazette
naturally resorts to one untruth to
cover up another. This may please
the party of moral ideas, but it must
disgust every fair-minded and honest
| man in the Kingdom.

Art in Handling "a Fan.

When fans were first introduced into
Europe they were used by men as well as
women, but it was soon discovered that
the awkward hands of masculinity had
nothing in common with an implement
so light and graceful, aud soon it became
the sole prerogative of women to carry a
fan. In her hands it became a means of
fascination, of grace, of love-making, of
coquetry and of kind of silent talk on all
kinds of subjects. To it she confded her
joys, her hates, her revenges. aud after the
combat she would kiss it as a duellist
sometimes does his sword. A French lady
of the time of Louis XIV. declared that
however gracefully and elegantly dressed
a lady might be she would necessarily be
ridiculous unless she knew how to han
die fan that yon could tell princess
from a countess, countess from a mar
quise, marquise from an untitled lady
by the delicate movements of her fan, and
that this subtle instrument, by it's open
ing and closing, it's raising and falling, its
sweeping and waving, its pointing and
beating, conveyed an encyclopedia of
meaning.

SENTENCE ON DYNAMITERS.

One can hardly admit the sufficiency
of the sentence passed upon the two
convicted dynamiters, Cunningham
and Burton, by Judge Hawkins, in
London, on the 18th ultimO. They
were sentenced to penal servitude for
life. The offense for which they are
to suffer this punishment was one for
which there can be no palliation. 1t
was deliberate attempt to blow up
public buildings, at the time filled
with visitors. Although no lives
were lost, several innocent persons
were seriously hurt, and valuable
national property was damaged. The
murderOus intent was clear, coupled
with utter recklessness of human life,
and although the English law is mer-
ciful, full justice would require the
execution of these felOns.

ANOTHER OPPOSITION LIE NAILED


The ''Gazetten charges Col. Spreck-
els with ''lobbying the Legislature in
one fragrant instance TO procure
title to land. This is said in connec-
ton with the alleged improper grant
to him by the Government of "a few
millions of acres" of sand dunes at
lower HaIeakala (meaning a few
t. -eel. which is now known
as 20 Spreckelsville plantation. And
again, in the same connection, it
says: GAIL who were in the country
at the time the bill, pushing through
Mr.. Spreckels' title to the Crown
lands, which the P. G. ADVERTISER
refers to, was passed, are we'll aware
of the establishment of the country,
and thoroughly aware of the great
dissatisfaction upon the island of
Maui. The cOnstitutiOnality of that
act has been doubted by many
thinkers"
The foregoing quotation is rather
numbering, but the meaning may be
guessed at. The idea intended to be
conveyed by the Gazette" is that the
law quieting title to the Crown lands
of the Kingdom, passed by the Legis-
Iature of 1882, was corruptly lobbied
by Colonel Spreckels, to obtain title
to his Maui leasehold, and that pOpu-
lar indignation was excited thereat.
A reference to the parliamentary his
tory of that bill will demonstrate the
untruthfulness of this statement. The
bill was introduced by the Attorney
General, Mr.. Preston, and debated at
length and with considerable warmth
on July Is, 1882. The opposition was
led by Mr.. PilipO, member from
North Kona, who made strong de-
nunciation of the bill, as being mimi
cal to the rights of the King. Mr..
Pilipo moved the indefinite postpone
ment of the bill, and on the division
he was sustained by seven native
Hawaiian members. The division
list is as follows:
For indefinite stponement-Keau,Ka lua,
Kamakele Gardner, Nawahi, Kauwili, Pilipo
and Aiwohi-8.
Against indefinite Recommendation,
Raai, Bush, Preston, Ministers; G. r. Bishop,
Dominis, Cleghorn, Parker, Isenberg, MOa-
nauli, Rhodes, Mott Smith, Lilikalani, La
hilahi, Pahia, Frank Brown, Mahoe, Kuluhi,
Kaulukou, Aholo, Richardson, Nakookoo,
Haupu, Kauhane, Nahinu, Kaunamano,
Kauai, Palahau, Nakaleka and Kauhane-30
The bill was then read by sections,
and Immediately passed. Will the
"Gazette" say that Messrs. G. r.
Bishop, Parker, Cleghorn, ]. Mott
Smith, Godfrey Rhodes and Frank
Brown were corruptly influenced to
yete for the bill by Colonel Spreckels?
If not, what does it mean? This GER
tainly is not an unhappy slip of the
pen," like the enumeration of the
