The mortuary report for the month of Jul- bhows a total of 38 deaths for the district of Honolulu. The causes of death are specified in 30 cases ; the remaining S, or a trifle over one-fifth of the whole, aic put down as "unknown." This is a startling admission, and one that should not he possible to be made. Just think, one-fifth of the persons who have passed from life in this city during the past month, have been committed to the earth without its being known what caused the termination of their eaithly exis tence. Here is room for all kinds of conjectures. The burial certifi cate in each case should have shown the cause of death, and in all cases where the cause was unknown the certificate should have been with held until proper investigation had been made and the cause ascer tained if possible. No elucidation is needed to show v. hat an open door is left for foul practices where such laxity exists as that indicated by a return like this "8 deaths, cause unknown." It is about time that some "reform" was inaugurated right here. This condition of things has gone on from year to year, and has lasted far too long. DANCER AHEAD ! "Whom the gods destroy they first make mad," said the ancients. The wisdom of the saying makes us feai ful that the present Legislature is approaching its doom. Certainly its action on the 2d inst. upon the divorce question is evidence that our wiseacres know nothing of the history of social morals. Are they seriously willing to throw down the restraints of decency in increasing the facility of divorce? Are they working for the golden age of Jean Jacques Rosseau when "Wild in woods the savage ran, ere arts and manners firstjeorrupted man?" Has tho "bad-heaited man of ge nius" got in nmong them with his doctrine of the "original rights of man," that they are willing to drive this wedge into the already splitting seams of the social fabric? Simple amazement at tho fatal blindness of their inconsistency makes right thinking men cast about for some excuse for these gentlemen who arc posing as reforming patriots. Can it be that any Benedicts among our legislators are unhappy in their ma rital relations and see possible relief from the conjugal yoke in a year's desertion by cither party of tho other? Can it be that the young and festive bachelors see danger in the way and desire to mitigato their prospective misery of "marrying in liasto and repenting at leisure?" Do theso wise men of Hawaii propose to add to the attractions of tho Pa radise of the Pacific by making it a retreat for the foolish victim of un happy wedlock, who fehall ilock to tho balmy shores "Wheie every S prospect pleases, and only man is 16- M otyecuonauie, w ncnu tbeir monoy on tho Divorce Court and lawyers' fees. Ah ! now, we begin to smell a laigo-eized rodent. Tho lawyers forsooth will make money when many shall come from tho East and the West, the North and the South, and having sauntered by the gently curving Thurston Boulevard to the top of Punchbowl hill, the victims of domestic strife will look down complacently upon the city of reluge where divorces are easy. It is ainaziug,too, that the present legislature should be active in pro moting measures for the welfare of tho native Hawaiian race, ami for its protection fiom the blighting influ ence of the hoicles of Chinamen who bring iio women from the flowery realms, and then should have al ready passed the second reading of n bill whicli if it becomes a law will promote licentiousness and make the Hawaiian women the chief suf ferers in the unequal strife. It is monumental stupidity to concoct measures favoring immigration and colonization (which mean nothing if they do not result in the forma tion of homes in which marriage has its due protection), and let in the tyrannous libeity of a rude time in the freedom of divorce. Wake up members of the Legisla ture! Get your minds off four-feet fences, giant powder, petty salaries and the fishes of the sea. Gel down below your bridges and roads to the very foundations of social order, and study the history and philosophy of divorce, befoic you glibly vote on a question which lias taxed thcie sourccs of the greatest minds. The wisest of men have agreed that marriage is a divinely created institution and that social misery follows when it has lost its hold on the reverence of the Bocial order. SECRET VOTING. Whatever may bo said for or against the Election Bill as a whole, (not having caicfully examined the measure we aic not prcpaicd to offer an opinion) wc endoie heai li ly its aim to secure secrecy of vot ing. Wo believe iu strict and in violable seciecy of the ballot at elections, because wc believe it is the only sure method of securing an independent vote. An elector w ho is in any w ay dependent on somebody else is just as likely to be influenced by the other person's wishes as his own honest convictions, when he knows that it may be known how he votes. Voting by ballot at elections in this country has been all a sham, so far as its ostensible secrecy is concerned; and wc need not go farther back than the last elections in Honolulu to find persons voting against their convictions, because they were afraid of its being known and used against them if they had followed their own inclination. This is not a desirable state. Every elector should be placed by law in a posi tion where he can record his vote in accordance pith his wish, withuot the fear of his independence being used against him. A strictly secret ballot is the only way to secure this end. Therefore, we vote for aboli tion of the old sham, and the adop tion of a system of real secrecy.

Fiom Ilia Excellency's an swers it becomes patent that tho two banks imposed the duty of col lecting taxes upon themselves the proof of the fact that they did col lect taxes is in the lianas of tnc House. 1 would call the attention of the Attorney-General to this fact, and would ask him whether lie will take any notice of it? or without a pro test he will suffer private individu als to take into their hands the func tions of Government.
