" kahun.i la).iau," a woman and a leper,
it .t-.titic out that she vvas exempted
from ronfincment at Knknako ami con
sequently enabled to ply her vocation
upon the strength of a ass received at
your hand-, oi by, te.ison of your in
fluence. In that trial, the evidence
showed that this woman abroad
through your influence had taken
into her leprous mouth, certain medi
cinal roots, chewed them and made
them into a dose which the deceased
swallowed. The tnayers of the
nation have no lawful right to interfere
with the manner m which you scml
the large sum annuall) oted for sun
I wiling the dignity of the kingly office.
Hut they have a tight to interfere in
your conduct - when it threatens,
ditcctly or indirectly, to increase
national taxation or to undermine the
national character. We believe that
join conduct is calculated to tlo both
needlessly to increase Hawaiian
taxation, and irreparably to deteriorate
Hawaiian character. And we resjwet
fully warn you that the course you arc
now pursuing must end in one of two
results -curtailment of the power and
privilege of the kingly office in Hawaii ;
or else retrogression of the prestige and
toserity of the Hawaiian nation.
.Mcssrv Minister From time to
time during the ast iwo years we have
reminded jon, collectively as the
Hawaiian Cabinet, and individually as
members of the king's ministry and
nominal cvccuthcs of the people's will,
that you base transgressed the law and
thwaited the moral sense of those by
whose sufleraiu'e the king reigns and
you execute his will. We have charged
ou with mi-leadtng and mischievous
book-keeping, with unlawful borrowing
and improper expeuditme of public
money, with violation of national faith
and with other offenses against the
good name ond the welfare of the
commonwealth. We now respectfully
icmind )ou that a day of reckoning is
at hand. In that day neither corrupt
use of money nor corrupt use of palion
age can save you from national con
demnation. Only one thing can save
you- -reform. We do not expect it of
you. Hut when the nation, in legis
latuic assembled, shall sit in judgment
u)n your record during the past
biennial period, we shall hac the
satisfaction of remembering that it was
not for lack of knowledge that you
refused to repent; and that we hae
done our duty

said Mr. Ilartwell, last Thursday after
noon, It was -t fine thought and

There is no liguie in modern history so
unmistakably made by circumstances
as was the reputation of Ulxsscs S.
(.rant. The soldier who is a subaltern
in times of pence bids fair to remain a
subaltern unlit either death or a great
war transforms him to a mote active
field ('rant did not remain a subal
tern, lie retired Irom the army in
which he had achieved but scant dis
tinction and some notoriety; and he be
came a tanner. Wc trust we shall not
be accused of being "un-American" or
"(addish,,' or even ''snobbish" when
we maintain that General Oram as a
tanner hail vastly little likelihood to
achieve greatness In fact, he bid fair
to be a failure- even as a tanner. We
agree with tho-c who hold that (.rant
was horn great Hut this was greatness
so largely latent that it needed n national
emergency to develop it; and even then
it was developed only in part. We ad
vise our readers to study carefully the
analysis of Oram's physical and men
tal make up so cleverly outlined by
Dr. N. 11. IJmerson. Hut wc advise
them not to accept that or any other
partial picture as a photograph of Oen
enr.it Oram's manhood.
We need not weary our readers b)
reciting the thrice-told talc of Oram's
career -his boyhood, his early man
hood, his triumphs and his reveises.
Nor need we forget that good rule to
Apeak only good of men after they are
dead, ifwc ask our readers to remem
ber that Ocneral Oram's greatness
might have been greater still had he
always employed aright the powers with
which nature so lavishly gifted him.
Grant owed it to himself and to his na
tion lo make his life better, nobler,
more consistent than it ever became.
He was America's greatest soldier; he
was one of her greatest citizens; but lie
was never so great that he had not
within him the unfulfilled promise of
something greater.

IV arrival on Saturday last of the O. S. b,
Marlosa, brought h' tad newt of the death of
General Grant.
The following eatr&cu are gleaned from the
papers at hand.
Mr. McGRWOf, July tj. -At o o'clock
o'clock last night oue of General Giant's
physicians conceded thai he might survive
until July ty. Ills meaning was that the
tick man might yet be Using when midnight
should mark the new day. The physician's
Indication it was not a prognostication was
borne out, and more, for the general patted
into the first hours of the day. He saw Its
light at sunrise anil through the eaily morning
hours he still survived. The advent uf July
23d. however, mailed a change In General
Grant's condition, which was significant. The
chill at the estreniltlet was increasing.
Tlie use of hot application's to keep warmth
in the vital pant was resorted to early last
nlglil. They were of some avail, lwt artificial
warmth was without power to reach the cause
or tUy the results of dissolution, whlth began
on Tuesday evening and hail beeu progretslng
steadily, lliouf.li gradually, and at 8mH this
morning, surrounded by all hit family, General
Grant pitted out of life peacefully ami without
evident pain.
Though this tvl event had been long looked
for by the nation, the grief throughout the
length and brea'ib of the land It very marked,
showing the affrctiun he held in the hearts of
the people.
The 'funeral was set for Augutt 8(h,
antl great preparations were leing mule in
various cities of the Union to observe the day
appropriate to the occasion. He was to be
buried in KivcrtlJe Cark, New York City.
Mr. K. W. Lalne has probably known
General Grant longer than any one In this
kingdom first at I'oint liabel, Mealco,
when detachments from the naval vessels were
sent ashore to hold the campof General Tay
lor at the battl. of I'alo Alto and Kcsaca de
la I'abna; then from Vera Criu 10 the City of
Mexico (Mr. I-aine being on detached duly
with Lieut. Raphael Semmes, afterward ad
miral in the Confederate Navy.) Tbey were to
gelher in all engagements which took place
excepting Conlrrros. In 1858 Mr. Lalne at
tended to Grant's liusinrss in Sin Diego.
