CHATTANOOGA, Tenn, Nov. 13,-
Railroad circles throughout this sec
ton are very much aroused over the
significant manoeuvres that are clear
ly discernible in the Southern field
The gossip's tongues began to wag
fast when Jay Gould visited Memphis,
and day or two afterwards bought
$4,000 of land in that city for depot
for his Western connections. A day
after the purchase the stockholders Of
the Memphis & Charleston Railroad
met at Huntsville, Ala, and elected
new directors, adding to the list H. S,
Chamberlain, "a Chattanooga capitalist,
reaffrmed resolution authorizing
the directors to extend the line from
Stevenson, Ala, to Chattanooga, thir-
ty-eight miles. At Chattanooga it
connects with all the trains of the
East Tennessee, Virginia 4 Georgia
system. 1t is now pretty generally
believed that Mr.. Gould is seeking an
alliance with the East Tennessee sys-
TEN, and it is thought that the terms
have already been made. The latter
in few days will put on a lightning
train from New York which will make
the run to Memphis in five hours less
time than before.
The Baltimore & Ohio has added to
its interest by Unexpectedly scooping
the express franchise OF the Queen &
Crescent system on all its branches
from New Orleans to Cincinnati, and
already it is announced that the So
Express and the Baltimore & Ohio
will begin war OF rates on New York
express matter. The B. & O. will take
charge Dec. To add to the complica
ton it is reported that the Louisville
4 Nashville system viii begin WA
on the Queen & Crescent and star
the ball to rolling by running /
through train from Cincinnati vi,
Louisville & Nashville to Chattanoo
ga, and will carry on the war on all it
branches and connections.

man, who understands thoroughly the
habits of fish, and knows what to keep
and what to throw out of haul, the Chi
nese takes everything he can get, big or
little, and the result is that some waters
are, even now, almost fished out. Some
Legislative action in this direction would
not be amiss, restrictions should be passed
as to the size of fish sent to market, and
also as to the season at which certain fish
are to be caught. There is no more pro-
life breeder in the world than your fish,
but he has many natural foes, and when
you add to these, ignorant and greedy
man, you handicap the unfortunate fish,
somewhat too heavily. The native Ha
waiian, who used the fisheries originally
as merely food supply and not as a
source of profit, thoroughly understood
the necessity of nursing his fisheries, and
even when he began to work them for pc
cuniary profit, the habit of care still chung
to him. But when the Chinaman stepped
in, he wanted to make as much money as
he could, and he cares no more, when his
lease is up, whether any fish are left in the
right or not. A little thought in this di
rection would not be amiss

From the Volcano.


Messrs. Wilder It Co. have received from. Mr.. q.
s. Wight, who is a visit TO the Volcano, the fol-
lowing interesting letter:
VOLCANO HOUSE, Aug. IL, 2p,m.
Last night at about IL O'Clock we noticed bright
glow through the rain. indicating the greatest ac-
tivty in the crater. We started Immediately after
breakfast to investigate. On our way, as we neared
the crater, we found that hot air and sulphur
fumes were issuing from cracks previously cool,
and upon closer approach we we're hardly able 70
proceed on account OF the great quantity OF sui
phur fumes that came up from cracks under our
feet. Several large cracks opened during the
night, and others that were only an inch or two
wide are now nearly foot Upon reaching the
point OF observation, where seats have been made
out of sheets of lava we found that new lake had
broken out. Tits about 500 feet long by 800 wide,
and during stay it was continually in the great
est activity, boiling and surRing like huge cal
dron.
A little to the right new blow hole has broken
out This also is very active putting like the ex-
haust from huge engine. Al times it shoots up
solld streams of lava foot in diameter and so
feet high. And again the whole top would break
OF, and it will vomit forth a stream of white hot
lava several feet i'll diameter.
A large cave-in has occurred on this side of Ha-
lemaumau.
The guide went below and secured some fine
coin specimens for US. He was very nearly caught
by stream of lava that broke out to one side of
him. Although he was nearly hundred yards
away when il commenced to flow, it was so large
and ran so quickly that for few minutes we
afraid that 1t would surround him before he could
get away. The guide informed US that he had
seldom seen 1t so active, even previous to the fall
ing in of Halemaumau.
Hot air and sulphur fumes are coming in great
and increasing quantities from the cracks in the
floor of the old crater, to the northward of Hale
maumau, and there is every indication of intense
action there In the near future.
There was an earthquake at II o'clock this morn,

The tenders which are now being asked
for by the Minister of the Interior in
his capacity of President of the Board of
Health, have on the face of them the air
of being perfectly bona tide A little look
ing into them will show that as usual there
is "nigger in the fence" The tenders
call for from thirty to forty head of cat
tie per month, to dress not less than $50
pounds each" Now, We do not believe
there is a ranch on the Islands which
can steadily supply cattle which shall dress
$50 pounds each The best cattle come to
Honolulu, and throughout the year they
do not average as much as 500 pounds.
The object in putting the weight of the
cattle at SO high figure, is self evident.
No cattle owner will tender, and the course
will then be open to fix as the President
likes.
With regard to sheep we are credibly
informed that the weight here is again ex-
cessive. The Lanai sheep, which have
been supplied from Mr. Gibson's own
ranch have, we are told, only averaged
thirty-two pounds Here again the weight
will probably prevent sheep owners from
rendering, and the matter falls into the
hands of the Board, or rather of the Pres
ident and his son-in-law The law is APP
parently complied with. but the matter is
so arranged that it can be evaded

NOTHING strikes one in riding round the
island more than the strong hold the Chi
nese have taken in every part. Go where
we will, the ubiquitous celestial will be
found. Chiefly, he is employed in raising
rice, and here he does good work, reclaim
ing rush covered lands, fertilizing barren
spots wherever he can get water upon
them. He occupies however, with his pro
duct, some land which might be used, and
was used as taro land This is pity, for
it is the loss of a food product
If we find the Chinamap at work and
improving the country with his rice, it is
a totally different thing with regard to his
fishing. All along the coast within prac-
ticable access of Honolulu, the fishing
rights are leased to Cinnamon They do
distinct injury, for while the native fisher

The Lanai Commission have brought
their labors to a close and the evidence
taken by the committee is now accessible
to the public The evidence has been
most carefully taken and sifted; Mr. Glib
son appeared as witness in his own be-
half, and was defended, first by Mr.. Neu-
mann, then Attorney General, and on his
resignation by Mr.. Dare, the present At
torney- General
The result of the Investigation is to stain
yet darker, the already evil reputation of
Mr.. W. NJ. Gibson There can remain ne
doubt in the minds of all who read the
facts OF the case and compare the evidence
of the various witness. that distinct bride
was offered to the voters of Lanai, viz:
that if they voted the Government ticket
they should live free of charge and pas
ture their animals for one year. This of
fer in public meeting they refused and
demanded two years. Before the request
could be granted, communication had to
take place between Morehead, Gibson's
Luna, and his principal. and on receipt of
intelligence from Honolulu, the people
were again called together and informed

We certainly look far enough away from
the close of the Legislative Session. A
week age. the organ was talking about the
session closing in ten days or fortnight.
The third reading of the Appropriation
Bill is still a thing of the future. We
may look forward to good three weeks
yet before the Solons return to their homes
and make their report TO their constitu-
ents. There has probably never been a
more unsatisfactory or a duller session
than the present. Looking back what can

IT would be an amusing, if it was not
sad sight, to go up to the House and see
those two aliens, Creighton and Dare oc-
cupying Ministerial chairs. Creighton is
so humble and meek, so eager to obey his
master, Gibson, while Dare has apparently
some opinion of his own and kicks over
the traces. 1t does seem an utter insult
to the community to have such men in
Office. Was there no lawyer at the Ha-
waiian bar, that an unknown man should
be dragged from California and pitch
forked into the position of Attorney Gen
eral for this Kingdom? We have done
MIR. Dare an unwilling wrong by saying
he was known by Hawaiians as prosecutor
in the Spreckels case; he was not, but was
acting as prosecutor in another Court; SO
that even the little notoriety which we
thought he had among Hawaiians is blown
to the winds, and he stands on the floor of
our House an utterly unknown man.
Again we ask, how did he get there? how
was it that he was picked out of the herd
of San Francisco lawyers and invited to
fill the responsible position he does fill?
He says he received an invitation from the
King: by what means was he brought be-
fore His Msjesty's notice? There is lots
for Mr.. Dare to explain if he ever starts
in on that line.

The Government organ is certainly a
very peculiar, sometimes unintelligible
organ. 1t therein closely reflects the char
acteristics of its masters One half of the
Cabinet consists of executors of that pa
per, so It's no wonder that all are in ac-
cord. From brazen falsehood to the most
ignominious wriggling, the organ and its
masters are at one.
On Thursday last, the organ tried to
misrepresent the opposition as endeavor-
ing to effect the abrogation of the Treaty,
and advises the planters to ''rest content"
The planters have had the same advice
from the same quarter before REST con
tent gentlemen, said the present Minis
ter OF Interior to the planters, who had
presented to His Majesty a respectful ex-
preston of distrust in Ministry led by
the Minister who has led ever since-rest
content gentlemen, goto your plantations,
pay your taxes and leave government to
your superiors!
So again now After the brassy little
falsehood, as to whom is due any danger
which the treaty may have incurred, comes
the most amazing estimate of its own char
acter ever put forth by any paper the
organ is "afraid of being accused of par
tiality," and is careful to preserve sits rep
utation for absolute fairness!" which is as
if gentleman working on the roads under
government luna were to say, I am
afraid of being accused of wearing the
the brown and blue, and am careful of my
reputation for absolute honesty"

The question of pensions is constantly
coming up. As presented, though in some
cases the recipients deserve some pension.
others undoubtedly do not Moreover,
the granting or not granting depends upon
Government favor. If we are to have
pensions they should be managed on
totally different plan to what at present
obtains. Pensions proposed in the man
ner they are now we are totally opposed
to. If pensions are to be granted, the
whole civil service of the country must be
recognized. Pensions should not be
granted by political favoritism, but should
come as a. right to those who have salts
factorily performed certain duties for
specified number of years The matter is
simple enough to arrange. a certain per
centage of all salaries should be deducted
towards creating a pension fund; the term
of service should be specified and no de-
mand need be made on the tax payers
pockets. OF course to carry out such a
system, argues that the government under
which it is to be worked is clean and not
corrupt Under the rule of the present
Minister of Interior no one would have
much confidence in the system, because
favoritism is the very backbone of his
method of ruling, and no one would have
confidence enough to think that any sys-
tenn would be honestly carried out under
him.

LORD SALISBURY means to be moderate
and his speech at the Mansion House
shows that he intends to adopt policy of
Cancellation and not of coercion. Order
is going to be maintained and the Con-
sentative Cabinet have shown this by the
manner in which the Belfast mob has been
treated The fact is the Conservative
Government is strong and its opponents
are so divided that it can afford to adopt
a policy which shall be for the national
good, and will not have to pander to any
party. We notice that some papers talk
as if the Conservative Cabinet will adopt
a policy of ldissez fare, waiting for the OPP
position to develop, SO as to see what course
to pursue, but better informed journals
state that an Irish Bill is being formulated.
This any one, who has followed the career
of Lord Salisbury, must expect; he is not
the kind of man to adopt vacillating
policy. Gladstone thinks he will be back
in Office in six months The Conservative
collapse will indeed be fattening one if
he is; wedoubt if he will ever again occupy
Office; from all accounts that come to hand
his mind is no longer what it was.
