THE WAGBSOF SIN
Determined Mob Makes
Quick
WORK OF SAM HICKS, 4 NEGRO
Jail Torn Down and Steel Cage
Pounded Into Shreds, the En-
tire Job Completed With
in 20 Minutes.

This morning the sun rose upon a
CHASTITY sight in the Thack old field
near the Jail, the lifeless body of the
negro, 10 Hicks, or 10 Johnston, as
some called him, dangling from the
limb of small, water oak tree on the
bank of the little branch that runs
through the field.
Yesterday, it will be remembered.
The Progress gave an account of the
daring attempt the night before upon
defeaceless family of ladies who
were at home alone by this nergo
Hicks and of the serious illness of one
OF the young ladies' caused by the ner-
vous prostratiJn occasioned by the
hight that this negro gave, and all
day yesterday this fiendlsh attempt of
the negro was the al absoT bing theme,
but if there were any threats made
they were kept very quiet, and it was
the opinion that the law IN the case
would be allowed to take its course,
especially so, since the circuit court 5
in session here and the judge and dis
triet attorney were rendervoused un-
der the varv shadnsre nf tl,n ISL * Il
were.
But no power that could have been
marshaled could have stayed the
determination of this mob, nor did it
wait for the streets TO be cleared OF
people, for at about 1880 O'Clock,
when those walking the streets were
little dreaming of such a thing, the
pounding on the Jail wall began and
within fifteen minutes the rivetings
cf the iron window to the left of the
entrance door we're torn loose, being
battered down by sledge hammers and
pick axes.
This done, the search of the cells
began. one prisoner crying out as the
first man entered sit amt me you
are after, is it ?'' a voice from the
ingo'ng crowd answ ering back mo, "
after which there was not another
voice heard, the negro Hicks never
losing his nerve through the whole
o. deal that took place at the Jail, not
even uttering a word when piece bA

cage he was in being battered down

The contention of Governor-design-
ate Carter that he has the right to
command the resignation of depart
ment heads under him is supported
by no precedent whatever, but, on the
other hand, is opposed to established
and we'll known precedents. President
Andrew Johnson attempted to force
the resignation of Mr.. Stanton Secre-
tary of War, in 1867, in almost pre-
cisely the same manner as is now be-
ing followed by Mr.. Carter Mr.. Stan
ton refused to resign and Mr. Johnson
was hauled before Congress to answer
to Impeachment proceedings largely on
account of IT. Department heads in
Hawaii are appointed for four years,
and they cannot be turned out at the
behest of a Governor or anybody else
save by the due course of impeachment
proceedings

sibly be right, for the Governor to
shove the man down the throats of the
people in an appointlve Office, after
they had refused to endorse him for
an under office? We have always been
told that the American scheme Of gov
ernment was government by the peo-
Pile" Is the will Of the people in this
instance to be made subservient to the
minority OF the Republican party that
failed to elect j. w. Pratt to be tax
assessor? We do not not believe that
the principle is American; we believe
and hold that 1t is diametrically un-
American. The Independent is aware
of no American principle, in regard to
elections that would foist upon the
people an appointiye officer that had
failed to prove his popularity or de-
STABILITY at the polls.

absurd for the first reason that a man

proceedings.

At the beginning of last week, after
Ashfords presentation of facts for
Grand Jury investigation into the
ways that are dark and tricks that
are vain" with regard to the recent
County election, certain Republican
leaders were loud in claiming that they
were very willing that such an inves-
tigaton should take place; but since
its taking place, their tune has been
the opposite with very decided dis
cord and instead OF there being a har-
mcny, it has been falsetto. Having
privately learned, through certain leaks
from headquarters no doubt as to how
certain witnesses gave in their telling
testimony. the Republicans have been
damning them up and down, 1t is
claimed that they are up to their necks
in mud and are likely to drown, and
we feel sure that they will be if the
Grand Jury does its duty according to
justice instead OF attempting to play
politics with frebrands.

the past generation during which the
Hawaiian Government has spent for
tune in his department for the pur-
pose of getting proper surveys and es-

work the distinguished gentleman finds
that the island of Niihau is not where
he said it was at all but is three miles

the statement, however that sea cap
