caricaturist. lie does not exaggerate in his
negro sketches. lie portrays the ridiculous

Characteristic Of the negro. Tho northern
artist seldom or never grasps the fact that
the negro is fun-makiDg, iun'loyng being,

Gus sketch. SHEPPARD's negroes aud the
scenes in which they figure are familiar to
every souihcrner. They are artistic produe-
lions, not comic monstrositles.

DISG0URAGEMENT TO PUBLIC
ADJUSTMENTS.

To persons accustomed to and
fond of public amusements Homo
lulu is an extremely dull place, pub
lie amusements being so few and
rare here. Sometimes we have
nothing under this head for months
on a stretch, excepting Berger's
band concerts. These are good,
certainly, very good, and without
them we should be forlorn. But one
kind of food all the time, no matter
how nice it may be, is not satisfying.
One would suppose that the natural
effect of the usual dearth would be
to make people more eager to avail
themselves of opportunities of amuse-
ment when they occur, and also to
render them less critical of the
quality. Perhaps such is the case
with the majority of the community.
This one effect is certainly produced,
that any amusement which is any
way suited to the public taste is
literally patronized when offered.
But it must be said that our state
laws or regulations relating to such
matters are so narrow and illiberal
as to discourage those who may be
disposed to cater for the public in
this line. Thus, professional en-
tertainer or company of profes'
sional entertainers from abroad, OF
local amateur company, cannot
give public exhibition or entertain
ment of any kind, for the amuse
ment or edifcation of the public, il
our only theatre, yclept the Hawai-
ian Opera House-which, by the
way, is credit to the town-with'
out first procuring the permission o
Government, and paying therefor
the sum of six dollars, each indivi
: dual show costing the same amount
This is a positive encouragement tt
public amusements, and stands a
one of the many monuments of
condition of narrowness and illiber
ality which our advancement an(
enlightenment should be capable o.
shaking off.
The amount of the fee claimed by
the state is a matter of insignifi
canoe, but the principal involved il
of weighty Importance. The very
idea that company of respectable
citizens, ladies and gentlemen, can
not exert their generous endeavor
to supply in measure the felt lacl
of public amusement, by playing
laughable farce, or light comedy
or a terrible tragedy, without
licence from Government House, i
repulsive, and brings up shadows o

HABEAS CORPUS,


At the hearing yesterday of the
Habeas Corpus case returnable be-
fore Judge Preston, in the matter
of Oleson, Foster and Peterson,
seamen from the French bark Cecile
the Marshals return stated that he
arrested and held the petitioners in
custody on the written request of
Mons. l.. Bellague, Chancellor of
the French Legation. The request,
which was appended, stated that the
men "refused to do duty" as q
cause for their arrest. Neumann
and Whiting appeared for the petit
tioners, Hartwell appeared for the
French Commissioner and said that
he had been retained only that
morning, and was instructed to
state the facts which he would re-
duce to writing if there should be
any reason to do so. He said he
was instructed that the petitioners
were shipped according to French
law on Il voyage from Newcastle TO
the home port in France, that they
claimed that their contract was for
voyage TO Honolulu only and
therefore refused duty, in conse-
uuence of which the master of the
bark complained to the French Con-
sui of the refusal of the seamen to
do duty, and thereupon the Consul
authorized the Chancellor TO request
their arrest for that cause, which
was done. Counsel urged that this
was mutinous conduct by the men,
and therefore good cause for theil
arrest. The Judge said that nc
cause was shown on the return, which
according to the decision i'll former
cases he held to be insufficient
Mr.. Hartwell said that he would i
allowed, amend the return within
an hour, so as to state the facts he
had mentioned, if they would avail
anything; but the Court declined tt
allow the amendment, whereupo1
the men were discharged.
There is no appeal in such mat
ters, and therefore the question
whether under the statute any othe
person than the Marshal who makes
the return can be heard to stat,
causes for the arrest, can only b.
determined by further legislation.
1t also is evident that the statut,
authorizing arrests of seamen fol
mu tinous conduct requires amend
ment to allow arrests to be made
for leaving the ship without permis
sion, refusing duty, and other lik'
acts of insubordination which &C
cording to the practice which ha
prevailed have been deemed by tn
Marshal and consuls cause enoug
for arresting seamcu.
