' july9,81,tf Opinion of the Attorney General on the Laws of Election. HoNOLVI.r, Dec. lJth, lUstl. T.i His Kxoellelicy 11. A. 1. Cakthb. Minister of the Interior. In reply to your inquiry as to the manner and tilling, iu accordance with the law, the second voting place, designated iu any election district I have the honor to state. That only in those election districts where there is more than one District Judge or Tax Assessor or School Superintendent, can a second board of Inspectors be created. Section 0, of the Laws of 1M, p. 1, designates the Police or District Justice, the Tax Collector aud the Tax Assessor, or in their absence, agents appointed by them, to be the Inspectors of election. Section 7x2 of the Civil Code, provides that the Min ister of the Interior may appoint more than one voting place iu each district, and shnll designate the Inspectors .f election from among "the Justices. Tax Collectors, and pchool Superintendents " in the district. The diffi culty arise when there is but one judge and one tax col lector in the district. They are made by the law of lMofl the Inspectors of the first Votiug place. If there should happeu to be more thau one of these officers, together with a Scjnxd Superintend!. ut there is no difficulty iu (resting the second board of Inspectors. But it appears, that in several districts such officers cannot be f.iund. In such a case, my opinion is that you cannot legally create a b..rd of Iuspectors for a second voting place. The Inspectors for the first votiug place may appoint agents to take their places, during their absence, but the absence contemplated by law is one which may be due to sickness or unavoidable deteutiou. They are under obligation to attend at the votiug place. The Minister of the Interior cannot appoint the same persons to act iu two widely separated places at the- same time, nor can Inspectors appointed by law to receive votes at the first voting place, aVaudon it and receive the votes at the second. The law designates the Inspectors for the first voting place, and the Minister has no control over them. If, therefore, there are not Justices, Tax Collectors, and hchool Superintendents in the district, aside from those already holding otjice as Inspectors, from whom sec ond board cau be cfeatcd, it is my opiniou that the sec oml bi ard cannot legally constituted. If it were, and the Inspectors Wtr1; persons not authorized by law to act the votes cast at such a place would be illegal, and if the election wt re cout jst.-d. would probably be rejected by the Courts. It appears that, eret.tore, it has been the custom to designate a second voting place, and appoint persons who were not qualified by law, to be the Inspectors. No doubt it has been a matter of great convenience to the voters to do so, and the failure to designate such a place will put them to great inconvenience. But, after careful consideration, I am convinced that such a practice Is illegal, and might invalidate the election of candidates for the Legislature. The attention of the next Legisla ture will be called to this defect iu the law regarding elections. I have the h "Uor t- be, Yo'.ir obedient servant, W. X. AKMaiUoNu, Attorney General. The election of Representatives to the next Legislative Assembly, will take place throughout the various Elec tion Districts of the Kingdom, on WEDNESDAY, the 1st day of r'ebruary next.

THE PACIFIC CflimncrualSlbbcrtiscr. SATlKLi.VY JANUARY 21. ls-J. EUROPEAN CORRESPONDENCE. I.ktteu No. 72. London, Dec. 0, 11. NEW BOOK ON HAWAII. " From Sword to Share; or a Fortune iu Five Years at Hawaii," by Captain H. W. Nicholson. In this book the authoT eudeavors to depict the advantages to be pained by Englishmen, who may desire to liud a new Lome abroad and who co to Hawaii. He gives a good deal of inform ation about the islands, their population, laws and manners, and social life at Hono lulu, none of it. however, very new. In some 30 pages of statistics Captain Nichol son then undertakes to show how a certain capital invested in Hawaii in sugar planting has been. or might be : it is all the satue on paper- quadrupled within live years. Ou so attractive a subject he ought not to lack readers, aud as the book is also aptly illus trated by photographs, some of them of Hawaiian Princesses, it is also of consider able value to intending travelers. A daily paper speaking of this book, says: If all that it claims for the Hawaiian Kingdom be correct, the country is one which could not easily be iinprove'd upon, aud it is but fair to say that proof is offered for all the information ; so that altogether tlu laud which King Kalakaua rules over, has manifold attractions. THE PANAMA CANAL. Recent news from the Isthmus having been very conflicting on regard to the pro gress of work on this canal, it Is of Interest to hear that at the Paris head-quarters there are no signs of discouragement. At a meeting of the consultative commission convened by M. Lessepa last week, to con sider a series of questions prior to beginning the main works, the replies of the com mission were all favorable to the rlars to the company's engineer. Mr. Reclus, has sailed to-day, for Panama, and will Im mediately commence work. The Isthmus will be attacked at three points simultane ously at Colon, on the summit of the Culebra Range and at Panama. SCIENTIFIC NOTES. At the last meeting of the Aiithrojiologi cal Institute, the following papers, relating to the Pacific, were read: On the affinity of the Melanesian. Malay and Polynesian languages, by the Rev'd R. Rodington ; and on Fijian riddles, by the Rev'd L. Tison. The last volume of the proceedings of this society also contains an interesting paper by President Tylor on the geographical dis tribution of games, in which he draws at tention to the games of Polynesia and America, as proving that the drift of civi latiou from Asia, reached these regions, before they were known in Europe. The draughts played at Hawaii and New Zea land are not the modern games of Europe, but apiear to be a variety of the ancient classical game, which is still alive in Egypt to this day. It may have reached the South Sea Islanders from Eastern Asia together with kite-flying at which they are expert, and which they perhaps had before the comparatively modern time, when it reached Europe. Wallace mentions that "cat' 8 cradle" is known all through the Pacific, and that once, when he was trying to amuse some natives with it, they took the string off his fingers, and to his aston ishment did many complicated figures quite unknown to him. At the Liunean Society a paper was read some time ago by Mr. F. Smith, on new aculeate Hymenopteia from the Hawaiian Islands, collected by the Rev'd T. Black burn. The author stated that the general aspect of the series is certainly North Amer ican, with a mixture of a few South Amer ican forms. The ants are most diverse in character, some being cosmopolitan in their range. The house ant of Madeira is com mon in Hawaii, and the little European ant (Ponera Contracta) unexpectedly turns up there. Mr. Keane has re-published his paper, read before the British Association, on the relation of lndo-Oceanlc and Indo Chinese races and languages, with notes on the Polynesian races. Excluding the dark races iu the area embraced, the author maintains that there exist only two distinct types, a yellow, or Mongolian, aud a fair, or Caucasian, aud that all varieties arise from the greater or less preponderance of either. lie finds also only two distinct forms of speech, the monosyllabic, spoken vario tono, and the polysyllabic, sokeu recto tono. Mr. Keane's theory is striking and original and seeras to fit into nearly all the conditions. THE COMMANDER-IN-CHIEF of the British fleet in the Pacific will be changed next mouth. It is therefore prob able that Rear-Admiral Stirling will not be able to pay his long-postponed visit to Honolulu in the Triumph. Rear-Admiral Algernon M. Lyons has just been appointed Commander-in-chief vice Sterling. He will leave England on the 2nd prox. for Panama to join his flagship. Captain Aitchison will accompany nim as his flag-captain aud Paymaster Geo. Liddell has been selected as his Secretary. The Triumph was in port at Coquimbo on the 2nd instant. A TACIFIC ISLAND. On the passage from Levuka to Yokaha ma the Detached Squadron touched at Pleasant Island, or Nawodo, a solitary coral reef to the west of the Gilbert group, in lat. 037 S., and long. 168 E. An Englishman was found there living with the natives. He gave the name of William Harris, said he was a native of Yorkshire, and that he had lived on the island for 38 years. He de scribed the natives as a dissolute set, drink being obtained from the iuice of the cocoa nut palm. They are also constantly en gaged in civil war, and he expressed re grets that no missionary had ever come to l this island to convert ineui. SHII'PINO NOTES. Further details of the loss of the German S. S. Quinta have now been received. This vessel sailed October 2nd from Hongkong with a carjro and 120 Chinese passengers for Saigon. On the 7th the Quinta was wrecked during a terrific typhoon at Tiuhosa, Island of Hainan, and was attacked by over 100 pirate boats, containing 8 to .12 men each. The crew and passengers, however, succeed ed in reaching land in safety, whereupon the pirates sacked the steamer aud then set heron fire. The new White Star steamer Coptic sailed from Queenstown ou the 17th ult., arriving at Sandy Hook ou 2nd inst. She goes to the Pacific for future business. The Atalanta, which sailed Nov. 3rd, from Liverpool for Honolulu, has been spoken on the 12th in the Atlantic in lat. 49 N., and 9 W. long. A Canton Riot From thi Correspondent of the Hong Kong Daily Canton, lbth November. I have to record a riot, in connection with a religious tbtablibhinent, of more than ordinary importance, as it has resulted in the partial de struction of one of the finest monasteries in this city, namely that of Cheung Son Te, or the Temple of Longevity, a building well known to foreigners. This Buddhist monastery and tem ple, situated in the Western Suburb, occupied some fifteen acres of ground, and 'as one of th fineht edifices of the kind in Canton. At the buck of the temple is a large pond or lake and an extensive gardeu in which the monks about one hundred in nninkT raised vegetables and fruit for their own consumption. The inmates ol the establishment, however, fairly well blessed with the god things of this life, had grown fat, lazy, and corrupt. Instead of being devout the monks were licentious, and it had for some time been a matter of notoriety among the natives that they were anything bat suitable spiritual guides for their wives or daughters. The monks had in consequence been in bad odour, and several disputes have occurred between them and the people during the past four years ; their goings on were not quite unknown to the Au thorities, for only recently a proclamation has been issued prohibiting women from going to worship at the monasteries. On Tuesday the long smouldering indignation of the populace was fanned into a flame. Early on the afternoon of that day several women were observed to en ter the Monastery temple to worship, and several hours elapsing without any sign of their reap. pearance, the watcher. hoso nmulsTs had ang mentHl in the meantime, Ik .me Knpit'ioUH, nd Ix-gHU to make a noisr, i-oluing in uncompli mentary remarks al-otit t lie ji: i--itn. 1 ntually they entered the temple i ul demanded from the prieots there tho product. ;j i f tLo voiutu, aud angrily drew attention to t jToelamatioti then posted on the Temple vV.Ih foibidJit:g f male to worship there. This r .p. st nnd a demand for admission to tho inner piirt of the njoiiuntery were both flatly refused by the monk, who Lad assetr.bV.l in f.-ree. l!ij.:h words then ensued, and from thi the mo, nil tho tune increasing in numltri and fury, Kgnn to stouo the. priet.

By this time the mob had become very lare and very augry, breaking presently into unrestrained fury, pelting the luoukn, breaking everything they could lay Lauds on, and threaten ing to destroy the utire li:ildin. A body of soldiers arrived on the scene, but they were powerless to suppress the riot, vhith continued until three o'clock on Wrdnenday morning. About six o'clock en Wednesday morning the mob resumed the riot, their nnmWra having doubled, and proceeded to pull down the pre mises, admittance ht inn nainbet n denied to tlrom. The two side rHi jc of building were torn down, the rioters all the time maintaining a terrific hubbub, and uttering loud thri atnof Teu geauce against tlu priests. About three p.m., In iu impatient of slower method of detrac tion, they t t tiro to tlio re'iuaiuing biuljiu, and when the file engines arrived they were not. allowed by the mob to approach within reach of the flames, nor were the otijs permitted to h-t sounded.

All the valuable ornaments from the temple, the fittings, furni ture, and ev-n the vestnientw of the pib-sts mere carried ont by tho eager rioters and burned. During the search made by the rioters, in one cf the apartments women's clothes, shoes and orna ments were found, and the discovery elicited roars of indignation from the excited crowd. The priests, alxiut twenty of whom were injured iu the struggle with the jteople, took flight when the temple was broken open, and acattered iu different directions. AIout a ttcore of the rioter were wounded in the fray, and one wa ehol dead by the soldiers when attempting to tpiell the tumult. British Borneo. From iume Arte,. Dt. 2tid, 1881. England it wienis has just Income possessed of a new and vast territory.

Mr. Dent the eptilciit China merchant has bought all tho royal rights of the resident rajahs, and having formed a trading company has obtained with curious facility it in said, a special charter of incorporation from Lord Klat bkiixkv. The new company in plain English Las been constituted the reigning powci iu Borneo with all rights aud privileges, political aud trad ing. It cau make war or poauo, extend or cur tail its territories, raise coal or minerals, encour age immigration, and act in every way as a royal power. Probably all this is ho much the better fox Borneo, Pi spito tf tho anxious forebodings of certain ultra-philanthropibts in this country. It is quite clear that a peaceful struggle for pre eminence in Polynesia is imminent among Euro pean nations. The Trench iiio exceedingly ac tive in the Pacific, their movements in Tahiti and thcrcalkouts are watched, nnd canvassed with considerable asperity, mid vast dreams of colo nial ambition are. imputed to them. To thoso who know the French as colonists, this desire to extend French influence in the southern sens will give no great access of alarm. But it is well that Oreat Britain should not surrender nil at onco her principle of colonial extension, and what ever the responsibilities entailed by what is practically tho annexation of Borneo. Thcro will bo many to defend the move. The writer in the IIm ." tc, has evidently been inaccurately informed, as tho charter refer ed to only effects certain territories iu North Bor neo. Its importance, nevertheless is shown by the fact that the Spanish Government has doom ed it ncssary to protest against it. En. V. 0. A, Why the Hawaiian Treaty was Made. (From the San Francltco Merchant Dt. 24.) It is somewhat strange that some accomplished Eestern etlitors, like the editor of the Chicago Tribune, with the Congressional reports of tho discussion on the Hawaiian treaty ready to their hands, should maintain tho idea that the pretext for the Hawaiian treaty was Hint it would furnish raw sugar to the people of this slope cheaper than other portions of the United States had to pay for it. If that had been the expectation, moment's reflection would lruve shown that it could not be realized. The treaty could not bring aliout such a result nntil the Islands pro duced more raws than our Pacific Klopn consump tion and commerce demanded. While we con tinue to draw a single cargo from other places, say Manila, the cost of that cargo laid down here, duty paid, must necessarily 1 a factor in fixing the value here of all the raws Imported from tho Islands. When the Islands, if over thpy do, produce more raw sugar than we can refine, con sume or dispose of in our domestic trade, the surplus production of raws will find its way to the Atlantic Coast, and its value on the AtlauMc side, in competition with Cuban nnd other su gars, l jss the cost of additional transportation, will fix the value of all the Island raws disiKmod of in this market. At least that will be so un less, like tho California millers, who often make one price for flour for consumption and lowe r one for exportation, the planters should agree amongst themselves to sell for tho Eastern side of tho con tinent cheaper than they would for the Western. To do so might seem unfair to us, and perhaps it may never be done ; but a practice similar to this obtains not only among Europenn manufac turers but among American ; and we think the editor of the Tribunt will find many among its own subserilx-rs who will give him plausible ar guments in defence of the practice. The United States certainly did not give up its revenue pn Hawaiian raw sugar primarily to cheapen sugar on this coast. It gf.vo np its rev enue on Hawaiian sugar, firstly, to stimulate production ol a staple so valuable for health in adults, and absolutely necessary for children, the supply of which is inadequate to the people's needs, and so it might be chcaoem-d the world over. Secondly, to i;ive the Islanders euch ben efits by our generosity that they would come more aud more under American, and less and less under European influences. Thirdly, that their prosperity would excite the ambition of our Spanish speaking m ighlwirs, and induce them to pray for similar treaties on similar conditions, and so divert $700,000,000 of export trade from European inaimfaetHrers to thoso of the United States. Lastly, that the Pacific Slope might build up a valuable export commerce and be en abled to pay for its sngar in produce and mer chandise instead of cash. SOUK Vl'LCARITIKS Or" Goott SociETr."' Ak- ing questions, private and pcraonal, in one vulgar habit, and telling your hukinesH, which no one wants to hear, is another.

All these are signs and evidences of vulgarity vulgarity ol a far worse type than that which cats with a knife instead of a fork, and says "you was," and other ungramaticalitics. In fact, true vul garity resolves itself into that central poiot of evil selfishncps. The unelfifli can never be really vulgar.
