tive merits Of speed we give the fol-
lowing account Of each vessel OH their
maiden voyages to Australia, which,
being taken from the log of both
ships, is authentic -
The Alameda arrived ut Honolulu
nearly 10 hours earlier than the
Mariposa, owing to the latter having
such extremely bad weather, the
first 1 days only having covered
tritle over 1000 miles. After leaving
Honolulu the Mariposa arrived at
Tutuila, Jan. 3, 1856, at 4 80 p. NJ,
having accomplished the unparalleled
run of 2,279 miles in 6 days, I hours,
40 min, having gained q hours and
40 min. on the Alameda On the
morning of Jan. 9th, at "a. NJ, hove
to for 3 hours in heavy southeast
gale, and had strong head wind and
heavy sea for next 30 hours. Jan.
9th, 1856, 9:15 A. NJ, took Auckland
pilot on board, having arrived just
| 2 hours and 81 min. (stcaming timc),
| in advance of the Alameda, which is
| remarkably close time for such u
| long distance. ne UNION -. -, w. =
steamer Rotomahana for years has
| had the fastest record from Auckland

fastest on record having gained
4 hours and 36 min. more, making a
total gain of hours and min. from
Honolulu. The Mariposa's smallest
days work was 900 miles and largest
800, and with all her detention OF
bad weather, delivered her mails i'll
Sydney in 2 hours, 90 min. less time
than the Alameda, and the Alameda
steaming time is hours, SO min
less than the Mariposa, owing to bad
weather encountered fore part of voy'
age. I'm long run OF over 7,2Ot

enough for the patrons of each, that
there is little or no difference regard

the SOLDIER VOTE.

A few days ago the great Morn
ing Apologist for all that is corrupt
in government and outrageous in
political chicanery, with that in
imitable nonchalant mendacity for
which the sheet has acquired an un-
enviable notoriety, states that in the
United States 'no one ever questions
the right of State militia or national
guard TO vote at all elections, ana
from this proceeds with an elaborate
apologetic defense of the iniquitous
manner i'm which the "soldier vote
was polled at the recent election in
this Kingd ON. Comparing the
rights of mlitiamen to vote in this
Kingdom with the rights of militia
men in the United States, is neither
more nor less than placing fraud
and corruption in contrast with
honor and patriotism. Were United
States militiamen ever known to be
placed under military orders on the
morning of the election, and marched
in platoons to the polling booth !?
Were United States militiamen ever
allowed to enter polling booth
wearing their side arms? Did n
State government ever dare to insult
the nation and degrade the ballot
by coralling the troops on election
day and supplying them with un-
limited rations of liquor. as was
done on the Palace grounds in this
city on the morning of February
3rd? If the ballot were outraged at
a single polling booth of the United
States as was done in Honolulu and
throughout this Kingdom, ten days
ago, storm of Indignation would
sweep over the Republic from Maine
to California, carrying the guilty
parties into political oblivion.
Neither militia nor any other "com-
panies' have the right to vote in the
United States, and members of
these bodies possess the franchise
solely by virtue of their being citi-
zens, of full age. Boys of lG and
IS years who happen to be under
military training have not the right
of voting either singly or in ''com
panies." Moreover, soldiers of the
regular army are not allowed to vote
at all. 1t will be time enough t
cite United States election methods
in vindication of those of this King
dom when the Great Republic de
grades its citizenship to the perpe
tration of practices followed only b.
the lowest grades of ward politicians
