When Grant Was Moved.

In the course of chat with your
correspondent an old army officer who
was on Grants staff during the war
said that during all the nego iations
between Grant and Lee, Grant never
once showed the slightest trace of ex-
element or eXuitation. HE had the
most remarkable control over himself
of any man | ever saw. Never but On
two occasions have L seen him give
way to his feelings. The first occasion
was the greeting of the public-school
children of San Francisco upon the
occasion OF his arrival from his tour
around tho world. Grant was passion
ately fond of children. Their welcome
touched his heart, and the tears flowed
down over his face. He made no effort
to conceal his agitation. The other
occasion was when he was notified that
an old comrade who had served with
him during the war had been killed in
railroad accident in New York. This
was after bis first nomination for the
Presidency and before his election.
He was at his headquarters, on the
corner of Seventeenth and + streets,
when the dispatch containing the sad
news was brought to him. He read it
slowly and carefully. Then he
leaned on his desk, with his head in his
hands. and cried like a child."-

Hon. VIM. G. Irwin remarked that
Colonel Spreckels was prevented being
present upon this interesting occasion on
account OF illness. He would otherwise
have taken part in the ceremony they
had Just witnessed.
Captain Weber then invited His
Majesty and the distinguished party
present to 90 on deck and witness the
ceremony Of hosting the Hawaiian flag
at the main. The adjournment to the
spar deck followed, and when the
national ensign f1oated in the breeze, it
was greeted with three cheers by the
spectators, followed by three lusty cheers
for His Majesty the King The flag is
OF silk, eight feet by five feet, and is a
beautiful specimen OF work.
In addition to the through passengers
by the Australia there were present dur
ing the proceedings in the saloon and on

Presentation of . Hawaiian Flag by
His Majesty the King.

Yesterday about noon His Majesty the
King, accompanied by the Hon. John
A. Cummins, paid an informal visit to
the Oceanic Company steamship Aus
tralia His Majesty was received on
board by Captain Webber, the popular
commander Of the Australia, and es-
corted tothe spacious saloon, where pre-
parations had been made for an inter
esting ceremony. This was the presenta-
ton Of a handsome Hawaiian ensign by
His Majesty to Captain Weber, who
WAS starting upon the pioneer voyage to
Australia in command OF an ocean-going
steamship sailing under the Hawaiian
flag. The presentation was made by
His Majesty in a few appropriate re-
marks He then called upon the Hon.
Paul Neumann to speak to the import
ance OF this trade opening in its relation
to the commercial interests of the Ha-
waiian Kingdom. Mr.. Neumann re-
sponded to the command OF His Majesty
in n neat and suggestive speech, in
which due tribute was paid to the enter
prise and public spirit OF the owners Of
the Australia, who are building up the
mercantile marine of the Hawaiian
Islands, developing its commerce, and
bringing them into close and intimate
business relations with the great and
growing states Of British origin in the
South Pacific The Australian Colonies
and New Zealand were very closely
allied - the mother country, Eng
land, power which had done much
for Hawaii in times past, and which was
doubtless prepared 10 continue its kindly
offices of friendship, and, ii need be Of
aid, in the future. 1t was a great event
in the history of Hawaiian commerce
when such a splendid steamship as the
Australia sailed under the Hawaiian flag
to the British Colonies in the southern
hemisphere. She was the first Of what
would doubtless be q numerous fleet OF
vessels carrying the Hawaiian flag 10
the southern seas Let them Join in
wishing a prosperous voyage TO Captain
Weber, and complete success TO the
Oceanic Steamship Company, the owners
Of the vessel.
Captain Webber thanked His Majesty
for his gracious condescentiou in pre-
senting him with so handsome a flag.

THE LEGISLATURE.

Saturdays sitting OF the Legislative
Assembly finally disposed Of the Internal
Tax bill, which was amended to con-
form to the Act previously passed max
ing personal property pay one per cent
on the cash value TO sell. It viii be re-
membered that this was fixed in the
original bill at three-qUarters Of one per
cent, and upon the third reading it was
amended as above stated. II this bill
had passed without amendment a con
hict would have arisen between the two
Acts, and the amount of taxation pay
able on the valuation would then have
been decided by the Supreme Court.
This difficulty cannot now arise. The
Opposition fought this point 10 the last,
and found supporters among the ranks
Of the Government party. Considering
the strong personal appeals made to
members to vote against an increase OF
taxation, those who stood firm are to be
commended for their independence and
courage.
The Attorney General introduced a
bill to exempt from taxation the per
sonal property OF lepers residing at the
Kalawao Leper Settlement. It was read
a first and second time and passed 70
engrossment. This measure was neces-
sary, inasmurh as the Tax Assessor had
assessed all the personal property at the
Settlement to the owners, and there was
no relief possible, as the law did not
make an exception in their favor. As
these unfortunate people are supposed
to be civilly dead, their little property
should at least be exempt from taxation
The Government lost no time, upon the
fact being reported, to take the necessary
steps to afford relief. This will be APP
preciated by the lepers themselves and
their friends.
The Opium bill did not come up for
discussion. This was a disappointment
doubtless, TO several ladies and gentle
men who were in attendance during
most part OF the sitting. 1t will proba-
bly, come up to-day. Touching the sub
stitute bill reported by the committee.
and which is now before the House, it i
proper to say that it differs widely on
some material points from. the original
bill referred to il. So much il this the
case that we hesitate to say whether, in
our judgment, it should be passed or
not. Readers Of the ADVERTISER had an
opportunity of perusing it in our issue Of
Saturday, and forming their own judg-
ment upon It's merits. 1t certainly
would not stop smuggling, and it is
doubtful whether it would add very
materially to the revenue. The effectual
regulation of the opium traffic by law,
and the suppression OF opium smuggling,
are the two points to be aimed at, and
incidental thereto, the question OF rev
enue comes in. We await the debate
upon the substitute bill to form a de
cided opinion on these points, however ;
but as we now regard it we are inclined
to think that the bill as it stands would
be n comparative failure
