Personal Politics.

An impromptu mass meeting of
natives took place Saturday evening,
in the vacant lot between the Brewer
and the Pacific Navigation Co.'s build
ings. Mr.. Robert Wilcox mounted
the old armory steps and harangued
the crowd, dwelling mostly on the
wrongs he had sustained at the hands
of the Government in declining to
make Il place for him in the public
service after expanding large sums of
the public money in educating him
abroad.
After this gentleman had expended
all the eloquence at his disposal for the
time, he give way to the illustrious J..
NJ. Poepoe, who doubtless enunciated

SMALLPOX on Board.

The City of New York, arrived on
Wednesday, had three cases smallpox
on board, consisting of one of the crew,
one of the passengers for this place and
one of those for San Francisco. Moth
ing was landed from the vessel that
night. A party from the office of
Messrs. Hackfield g. Co. went out on
the steam launch, but did not board
the steamer, only going near enough
to ascertain the above facts.
She has 261 Chinese on board, but
whether they are permitted to land or
not remains to be decided by the
authorities.

THE GOVERNMENT LIBRARY.
Large Transfer of Books to the
Honolulu Library and Read
ing Room Association.

| Mention has been made on former
occasion of an arrangement by which
| a considerable portion of the Govern
| ment Library was to be transferred to
the custody of the Library and Read
ing Room Association, where it will
be better cared for than at present, and
be more accessible to the public.
The following is staten ent of the
nature of the arrangement, and of the
manner in which it has been brought
about.
AT their regular meeting in Novem-
Der, the officers of the Library Asso-
citation appointed a committee con-
sisting of Hon. :. B. Dole and DR.. G. T.
Rodgers, to confer with the Govern
ment on the subject. Some time after
this Mr.. Dole, on behalf of the COM
mittee, addressed communication to
the Ministry, which elected the fol-
lowing reply, the second note being
added as a postscript to the original
letter from the Minister of the Interior,
in accordance with suggestion made
by the committee of the Association:
DEPARTMENT OF INTERIOR,
HONOLULU, Jan. 4, 1858. !
Mr.. :. B. Dole, representing the
Honolulu Library Association-Dea
Sir: With regard to the proposition
made by you on behalf of the Homo
lulu Library Association, concerning
the transfer of the custody of certain
books now in the Government Lii
brary, to the Honolulu Library, /
would say that the matter has been
considered by the Cabinet, with the
result following, viz:
The Government will lend the Lii
brary Association such books now in
the Government Library as are not
required for use by the Government,
upon the following conditions:
First-The books must be catalogued,
and receipt given for all taken.
Second-The books are to be returned
to the Government at any time it may
desire to re-establish a library, upon
the written request of the Minister of
the Interior, any loss to be made good
by the Association.
Third-All expense of transfer and
| cataloguing must be borne by the
Association.
Fourth-The books must be free to
the public
Fifth-No books which can in any
sense be called books of reference, must
be removed from the Library, but
must be retained there for reference
only.
The Government are of the opinion
that, under the foregoing conditions,
the present Government Library
would be far more useful and of
greater public benefit if the books were
incorporated with those of the AssOci-
alton.
If these terms are accepted, the
transfer can be made at the convent
ence of the Association.
l have the honor to be, your obedi-
ent servant, L. A. THURsToN,
Minister Interior.

A fearful cash was cut across through

and severing it from its connections.
If he had known better where to cut
to carry out his purpose effectually, a
cash of the same depth would have
settled his case in few seconds.
After the terrible deed had been COM
mitted, he was carried, it is reported,
by two native policemen, six miles to
the Eva court house.
