THE PASSPORT NUISANCE.

We trust the Legislature will abOl-
ish the passport system when it next
assemblies. There is no tax or impost
which causes so much annoyance, for
such small and questionable results,
as this one. At the arrival ana de-
parture of steamer there is no end
of grumbling and complaint. One
gentleman who remained over with
his servant from the Australia on her
last trip, and who has been free
spender of his money, had very great
difficulty in procuring passport and
getting off at the last moment by the
Mariposa, because he had lost his
hospital tax receipt-another impOsi-
ton, by the way, which should GER
tainly be abolished. The gentleman
referred to intended to return to the
Islands, as the climate suited him;
bat the passport nuisance was too
much for him, and he has resolved to
pass the remainder of the season on
the Coast, as he preferred living in a
country where it was possible to move
about freely without veXatiOus gov
eminent interference and restric-
lions.
This is one only of a score of cases
that might be cited. The hoId-Over
passengers by the Zealandia COM
planned bitterly of being taxed 50
each for the privilege of remaining a
couple of days in Honolulu. Our city
is suffering serious loss by the impo-
sition of these taxes upon strangers
visiting the Islands. The Hawaiian
Kingdom is the lightest taxed coun-
try on. the earth's surface to-day, and
it can afford to support its sick and
destitute without compelling strang-
ers to contribute towards its charity
fund. Upon every point of view the
hospital passenger tax is bad; but the
passport tax, with its possibly ruin
GUS penalty, is a scandal and disgrace
to any civilized community, much
less one which processes to be an ex-
preston of the highest form of practi-
cal Christianity.

8 and 10 o'clock. masked man entered the sta.
tion of the Dayton 6 Michigan railway, at this
place, while the night operator aud agent, E. E.
Stipp was counting the money. He advanced,
and leveling pistol at the agents breast, de-
manded the money Or his life. Stipp's pistol
was in a drawer, SO he stood de-
fenseless before him. The robber advanced,
and. as be drew close, Stipp made
spring, struck his arm and clinched him.
terrific struggle ensued, during which he tried.
to shoot Stipp in vain, was overpowered, and the
pistol taken from him. At this iuncture the
leather mask came off, and John Mclean, a
bright young man, about twenty years of age,
companion of Stipp was revealed. John
pleaded with Stipp to keep the matter silent,
which he partially promised to do The affair,
however, became known to-day, and the railway
officials demanded that Stipp should
make an affidavit, which was DONE
and Mclean is under arrest He has
waived an examination and will be taken to Jail

the War Office at an early hour and before the
arrival of General Grant, and on the arrival Of
General Grant Mr.. Stanton informed him of the
action OF the Senate, and said that ne was now
again Secretary War. General Grant retired,
and In few days occurred the scene between
Mr.. johnson and General Grant in the executive
mansion. and in the presence of all the Cabinet.
possibly except Mr.. Seward. In that interview
1t VIII be remembered that Mr.. Johnson
stated to General Grant that he (sfantl
had accepted the portfolio Of the War
Department, with the agreement that in case
the Senate disagreed with the action of the Pres
ident in removing Mr. Stanton, he tGrantl
would either hold the office, and contest with
Mr.. Stanton the constitutionality of the tenure
of-offce act, or, in the event of his unwilling
ness to do so, he would give timely notice there
of to the President. in order that the President
might substitute the name of some other person,
who would contest the validity of the act in aues-
tion with Mr. Stanton. Mr.. johnson claimed
that i'll his opinion, the act was unconstitutional,
and declared that he was led to believe that
General Grant concurred with him in such
opinion AS to what was said and done in
that interview, General Grant and the President
seriously differed. ar j the members of the Cabi-
net present were called upon to substantiate the
Presidents version. Up to that time | never
knew or heard of any serious misunderstanding
between General Grant and Mr.. johnson, and
am satisfied that, up to that period. General
Grant was opposed to any action looking to the
impeachment of Mr. johnson.
"a short time after this difficulty, which, so
far as could understand, involved nothing but
question of veracty between the parties, can
state positively that General Grant became a
warm and jealous advocate of impeachment,
and continued so until the final vote on the
subject | speak only from memory as to dates,
but the substantial facts to dates correct"
Gov e. G. Ross of New Mexico who was
then in the United States Senate and who voted
against impeachment, in reply to telegraphic
inquiry, says General Grant was understood
to oppose impeachment of Andrew johnson till
near the beginning of the trial in the Senate,
but to have favored it during the trial"
Lyman Trumbull, ex-senator, of Illinois, when
approached on the subject last night, declined to
discuss the matter, and said he knew nothing
about General Grants feelings respecting the
impeachment of Johnson, except what was of
public record. He entirely discredited the in.

DepeW, however

serts the Truth of His Statements.
New YORK. Oct. 23.-The Herald this morn
ing has further details of the Grant johnson
matter, comprised in interviews. Hugh Nc
Culloch said: This is all new to me. 1 never
heard anything of the kind before. 1t is COM
plete surprise. and challenges my credulity with
out argument What makes me doubt the cor
rectness of the statement is that the personal
relations between President Johnson and General
Grant were of the most friendly character up to
the time when General Grant, acting as Secre-
tary of War. yielded his chair to Secretary Stan
ton, and that was year more after these oc-
currences are reported to have taken place. It
is not possible for me to deny the correctness
of Mr.. Depews narrative because it
may have happened just as he alleges
General Grant said it did. can only repeat
that it is the first time l ever heard of it, and a
proposition involving so much, really think,
would have been spoken of and talked about, and
hardly kept secret these nineteen years" Mr..
McCulloch regretted that he had not memoranda
from which to speak positively, but others had,
and he did not doubt but what the charge would
be utterly disproved.
Mr.. DePew said: General Grant talked to me
for nearly two hours, and his speech was so
graphic few men would forget what he said
The story impressed me very much at the time,
and my memory of it is quito clear and reliable.
He told me the story about johnson in great de-
tail. / said to him:
General, this is more interesting and i'm
portant than any of the recorded events happen
ing since the war; you ought to write the facts
''The General replied that for years he had de-
sired to make written record of that part of
American history, but he found no time fer the
task. urged that these facts proved that the
country had been on the verge of another great
revolution, perhaps graver than the other, and

RIEL'S SENTENCE.
The Feeling Among the Half Breeds at Win
nipeg-VieWs of a French Newspaper.

WINNIPEG, Man, Oct 23.-Although the YER
diet of the Privy Council in the Riel case has not
been surprise, it has occasioned a deep feeling
among the half breeds and French in Winnipeg
who now expect the rebel will be hanged A
dispatch from Regina says Riel displayed great
agitation on receiving the news He fears the
last hope is gone, and expressed the private
opinion that he would have to meet the fate the
recent sentence imposed
La Mnerve, a leading French paper of Mont
real contains strong article against Rie who,
it believes, is not entitled to sympathy simply
because ne is French Canadian. ''To make
the cause of Riel," it says ''the cause of party
or nationality is for that party or that nation
aty to excuse the imprisonment of priests and
sisters; to approve of murder, pllage and heresy;
to create among other nationalities hatred of the
French name and to make US a race OF blind
fanatics. Eiel may excite sympathy; there is
not political offender who does not. In the
judgment that is given in his it is not to be
considered whether he is a French Canadian or
an English Canadian. Justice should be equal
for ALL"
Referring to the decision of the Privy Council
on the Riel appeal case the Toronto Mail says
'The only plea now left to Riel's friends is one
of insanity, but as the jury which is the sole
judge of such questions, could not be convinced
that Riel did not know that he was doing wrong,
it follows that the verdict cannot now be changed
on the ground of the prisoners insanity, unless
new evidence has, in the meantime, come to
light. Such thing it is not pretended has hap
pened and we presume the sentence OF the court
will be duly carried out and Riel executed for his
crime"
The Toronto Globe says: ut now remains
with Sir John Macdonald to say whether or not
the sentence shall be carried out"
A special from Ottawa says that at the Cabi-
net meeting yesterday it was decided to postpone
Rielis execution until Nov IL. French Cana
dians still express confidence that Riel will not
be hanged They base their hopes on the
ommendation to mercy of the Regina jury.
The Citizen, the government organ at Ottawa,
heads its comments on the Riel appeal case with
the word Doomed After recounting Riel's
crimes it says lit is time we have heard the last
of him.
