The elections in tho United States have
passed, and over the full extent of that vast
country the votes of the people having
been cast, hare designated as their choice
for the Presidency Gen. Grant, and for the
Vice Presidency Mr. Colfax. The electioa
is certainly very significant, for in tho elec
toral college the successful candidates have
ten votes over two-thirds of tho whole
number, and a majority of over half a mil
lion in the popular vote. Many people
not accustomed to contemplate the work
ing of the Constitution of the United
States, do not appreciate the full signifi
cance of this fact. It is quite possible for
one to be elected President of the United
States and still not have a majority of the
popular vote, and in point of fact such an
event has occurred. This will be seen by
remembering that each State has votes in
the electoral college in accordance with
the number Jof their Representatives and
Senators in Congress ; so thatif New York,
for instance, should elect her 33 electors
by a majority of one thousand, and thoso
33 electors cast their rrote for a certain
candidate, end New Ursey by a majority
in that State of 1500 choose 7 electors.who
are to cast their vote for the opposing
candidate, there would be a. majority of
26 electors as far as those two States
were concerned in favor of one candidate,
though the popular majority in both States,
takes together, would be 5Q0 for the oppo
site candidate. This election, therefore,
shows not only the election of the Repub
lican candidates,. but that those candidates
are to be supported in Congress by im
mense majorities, probably two-thirds In
both Houses of Congress. It shows that
the CongresSonal measur-- f reconstruc
tion aro supported in the resort, and
are to be the policy of the next Presiden
tial term, and may therefore be taken to be
a fixed fact Before the end of the next
four years, all temper and feeling will have
passed away on these subjects, and the civil
war and its immediate effects will have be
come a thing of memory. It is therefore as
a closing act in the drama of the late civil
war and its consequences, that this elec
tion is of the greatest importance. W
publish on our first page the speech of the
Hon. Secretary of State for the United
States, delivered at his home, Auburn,
New York, on the 31st of October. Like
all things coming from that source, it will
well repay perusal, even by those who do
not take a very strong interest in the party
politics of the United States. Some of
the Eastern papers comment on it unfavor
ably, saying that it is a "here I am and
there you are " speech, whatever that may
mean. But the friend who bends its the
speech by letter post, remarks that unless
his " newspaper for which he pays 13 per
year told him to the contrary, he should
think it was a most excellent speech of a
most sensible man." It will probably
strike our readers in the same light.
One of the most significant facts in the
election is the return of General Butler to
the House of Bepreseutative3 by the
county of Essex in the State of Massa
chusetts. One of his opponents was a
Republican Richard H. Dana, Esq., a
most popular and highly esteemed man.
This most intelligent of constituencies, one
of the most intelligent in Massachusetts,
have supporled,-by their votes, this most
bold and pronounced partizan, in such a
manner as will give him a great influence in
tho next house, and certainly will demon
strate to all that he has tho confidence of
his constituency.
By late advices received from the Fii
jiis, wo learn that an important change
has taken place there, which must mate
rially affect the future history of those isl
ands.
It will be remembered that Thakambau",
King of the Fiijii$, two or three years since,
had to acknowledge an indebtedness of
about S 15,000 to the United States Gov
ernment, for losses sustained by certain
American subjects, for acts of depredation
and incendiarism committed by his native
subjects, for the payment of which a large
amount of land, including several islands,
were pledged.
The payment of the above indebtedness
becoming due, and probably to prevent
the interference of American interests on
the islands, a colnpany was formed at Mel
bourne, which sent agents to the Fiijiis,
and the result has been that, in a contract
duly signed by the agents and Thahomkau,
the company has agreed to pay to the
United States Government tho whole
amount due, with interest for one year,
in consideration of which 200,000 acres of
land aro ceded to them, including several
islands and a large tract on each of the
islands of Yanua Levu and Viti Levu.
In addition all goods imported into or ex
ported from the lands held by the company
are free of duty. For a farther considera
tion of one thousand dollars annually, the
company is granted a monopoly of the
banking interests of the Islands for twenty
years, with the privilege of issuing paper
money.
The above contract was signed and
acknowledged by the principal chiefs.
Notwithstanding, therefore, the refusal
of the English Government, under the de
cision rendered. by Carl Smyth and Ber-
thold Seemann, as to the occupancy of the
Islands, they will become a dependency of
the English Government. Under the
above contract, which must involve' a
greater fiutlay than the purchase, the Eng
lish Government will be forced to extend
protection to trado beyond a mere super
vision, and result eventually in the occupa
tion of the entire group.
Ode esteemed townsman, Mr. Christo
pher H.Lewers,was obliged to call a meet
ing of his creditors, ou Monday of this
week. The utmost good-feeling seemed
to prevail among those present. The
amount of his indebtedness was shown to
bo $135,367 45, of which 584,778 had been
secured on the Waihee, or Lewers Planta
tion, on the Island of Maui ; by first mort
gage 872,100, and by second mortgage
$12,678. Mr. Lewers has likewise found
it necessary to encumber his property in
Honolulu with mortgage to the amount
of $24,633, leaving a balance of $25,956
unsecured. Aa it is absolutely necessary
that the plantation should be carried on,
and that funds should be advanced for cur
rent expenses, the holders of the first
mortgage, with the consent of Mr. Lewers,
entered into possession of it. On hearing
his statement, the gentlemen present con
curred in advising Mr. Lexers to make an
assignment for the benefit of his creditors,
aud designated Messrs. C. Brewer & Co.
and Mr. William L. Green as assignees.
This was immediately done, and it was then
proposed that, inasmuch as Mr. L. had vol
'nntarily given up all his property, a release
from all further claims be immediately
drawn and signed by those present. This
was likewise done very generally" and
promptly. Every one in this community
will deeply sympathise with Mr..Lewers.
The accumulations of years of industry
hare vanished as in a moment from him.
b one doubts the value and productive
ness of the plantation, but in view of mort
gages coming due, the demands of some
for their money, and the uncertainty as to
what conrso the holders Of the second mort
gage, who are residing abroad,, would see
fit to take, the difficulty of raising funds
to carry on the estate became insuperable.
It is at such times that any man, though
suffering under misfortune, may feel proud
of the advantages of a good reputation.
Every one seemed more solicitous for Mr.
Lewers' misfortune than for their own com
paratively small losses, and were more anx
ious that be might pursue his future without
unnecessary embarrassment, than captious
about their own claims.
CURRESPOADEMCE.
To the Editor of the JTaieaiian Gazette:
Sib: In the Advertiur of last Saturday I
read with the deepest Interest the " Thanks
giving Sermon" preached by the Reverend
S. C. Damon, pastor of the Bethel Church In
this city, on the 26th of November last, and T
was unavoidably led to compare the remarks
of this honored and reverend gentleman upon
the King, Government and people of this
country, with those not long ago published
in the same journal as emanating from "an
American citizen" who was said to have "oc
cupied an influential position at the Islands
for the last ten years." As you ore not In
the habit of publishing sermons, yon will
permit me, pcrhapB, to call your attention to
the following short extracts from among
much other valuable and interesting matter
with which the sermon abounds. Speaking
to his American fellow-citizens residing in
these Islands, Mr. Damon said: "As Ameri
cans visiting and sojourning on Hatvailai
shores, we owe much to the liberal policy
and protecting care of this Government; ad
milling that religious teachers and capital
have come hither from America, still to the
kings, chiefs and people of Hawaii, wo are
under great obligations. In what foreign
land or port do Americans enjoy greater priv
ileges or more ample protection than we en
joy here ? Would American property or
shipping hare been any more secure even I
one of our own ports !" And again
'In
no way can we as American citizens confer
more honor upon our own beloved country,
as we go abroad to visit or reside In forelg
lands, than by observing the laws of those
Unit. It is our duty to show that we are
the representatives of a free, Intelligent, civ
ilized aud Christian nation; and as such, are
a Law-abiding, God-fearing, Sabbath-keeping
and Bible-reading people." I honor truth,
Justice and courtesy; and for all these
honor the Rev. S. C. Damon, who gives them
utterance, and the congregation of Americans
and others of other nationalities, residents in
these Islands, who listened to the sermon
and requested Its publication.

Among the items In the papers, which ar
rived here by the last mall, we were pained
to read this short notice: "Last Wednesday
Nor. 11, died at Cambridge, Mass., tho eld
est son of Horace Mann." The numerous
friends, whom the deceased has left here on
our Islands, will undoubtedly share our feel
ings.
Mr. Mann came here In April, 1864, in com
pany with W. T. Brlgham, Esq., both gentle-
mcu having been appointed on a scientific
mission for the botanical aud geological
exploration of our group, by the Boston
Society of Natural History. Botany was the
part allotted to Mr. Mann, a branch of study
for which he was eminently fitted by prepar
atory studies made under tbo direction of
Prof. A. Gray, the highest scientific authority
on everything connected with the botany of
tho Pacific Ocean. From April, 1864, to July,
166S, he labored unremittingly in the pursuit
of his work, exploring in succession the isl
ands of Hawaii, Maul, Lanai, Oabu, and
Kauai, -while his friend, Mr. Bingham, sup
plemented the work by bis visits of the Islands
of Molokai aud Nlihan. The 'discovery of
about Si new species, Including 4ncw genera
of plants were tho result of his labors. The
most Interesting of these, plants, an abores-
cent composite, from the Island of Lanai,
which adds another to the few connecting
links of our flora with that of South
America, was described, and named by Prof.
A. Gray, after the discoverer, Hespero Man-
ma the rlrspart of the name being intend
ed to distinguish it from that of a homony
mous botanical explorer of the Cameroon
Mountains In Tropical Africa, George Mann,
a native of Germany.
Since his return to Boston, Mr. Jfanu has
teadily applied himself to the determination
of his plants, comparing them with those
deposited in the large herbarium of Prof.
Gray, which also contains a full suite of dupli
cates of the plants collected by Mr. Jv Remy.
The first result of these, labors and his re
searches in the literature of botany, bearing
Qn the Hawaiian group, was theEnumeratlo
Plantarum Hawalcnsium, which appeared"
In the beginning or 1607. Since that time
ho has been engaged In writing a'Flora of the
Hawaiian Islands, on the plan of the British
Colonial Floras, and A. Gray's 'Flora of the
Northern United States of America.' This
work, of which several proof-sheets were
sent to Honolulu by the author, seems to have
received a serious interruption by the highly
honorable call upon him to fill, tempora
rily, the botanical chair of Prot Gray, at the
University of Cambridge, during that gentle
man's prolonged voyage to Europe. It
would seem that the accumulated labors
were too much for the young man's frail
constitution. He was seized by that terrible
scourge of the New England States, con
sumption, which, from the beginning, must
have assumed a violent form. At all events,
his friends here had the first intimation of
his illness only by the mall preceding that
which brought the news of his death. He
had only attained the 34th year of bis age.
If honesty of purpose, high aim of life,
and the self-sacrificing and faithful discharge
of the duties, which such self-imposed aim
entails upon its votary, entitle a man to our
esteem and respect, It Is eminently due to the
deceased. His exploratory and scientific la
bors will always assign to his name a most
honorable place among those who have con
tributed to the Investigation of nature's
treasures on this group of Islands.
A late number of the Scientific American
contains an account of experiments now In
progress by Captain Ericsson, in the con
struction of a solar engine, to be driven by
air, heated by the direct action of the sun's
rays, which makes three hundred revolutions
per minute, without the consumption of any
fuel -whatever. The inventor asserts that,
before the close of the present season, bread
will be baked from flour ground bv the new
motor.

similar to tbo Persian Gnlf cable, as it will
have to be laid In comparatively shallow
water, and its exterior wires will be pro
tected with Bright and Clark's patent silice
ous compound, which consists chiefly of
powdered flint and pitch. The construction
of the shore ends will be similar to that of
tbe existing Atlantic lines, and will rrindn-
ally become thinner until tbey assume the

certain at what depth tbe vessels employed
In tbe seal trade may sometimes choose to

avoided by the track chosen for the proposed

he belongs for the lust SO years. The ques

OBIGIS Or THE B0CXB03S.
' The House of Bonrbon. which has given
so many sovereigns to France, Spain and
Italy, is of French origin, deriving its name
from the old lords of Bourbon, a noble family
which, centuries ago, held very large lauded
possessions In the former province of Bour
bonnsis, situated In the center of France.
Through the marriage of a member ol the
Capet family with a Bourbon heiress, the
noble bouse became allied to royalty in'the
thirteenth" century, and about the middle of
the sixteenth we rind the first of the race on
a throne. In the person of Antolne de Bonr
bon, King of Navarre. Antolne was the
father of the gallant rnd renowned Henry of
Nararre, who afterwards became King of
France uudcr the title or Henry IV. With
this celebrated prince begins the hlstyyof

kings as regards their qualities as rulers,
nothing could present a sharper contrast
than the character or the first French Bour
bon ov--f ign, llMnry th great" and "the
good," aa his people delighted to stylo him,
and that or tbe unfortunate 'son of St. Louis'
who fell by the guillotine. Whatever the
original virtues of tbe Uousu might bare
been, by tbe time that tbe volcanic outburst
of tbe revolutionary spirit flrstshook France
and tumbled a dishonored throne Into the
dust, the race had become wofully degen
erate. Tbe guillotine did not, however, fin
ish It In France From tbe stormy days of
tbe Revolution, and through those of tbe
Consulate and the Empire, the two brothers
oi tne uniortunate Lonis uvea ln;exlle; out
when Napoleon fell, the eider of them was
placed on the throue by the Allies under tbe
title ofLoul4XVIII.,-a son or Louis XVL,
who died while yet a child In 1705, tad been
tbe seventeenth of that name. Louis XVIII.
had no children, aud ou bis death, which
took place In 1S24, he was succeeded bv his
brother, Charles X. But experience had ut
terly failed to teach wisdom to this obstinate
and tyrannical ruler, who sought to restore
the absolutism of the French monarchy,
tho consequence of which was that a revolu
tionary outbreak occurred In July, 1SS0,
compelling tbe King to flee from France, and
finally to abdicate. The latter he did. In fa
vor of his grandson Henry, Dnke of Bor
deaux; but tbe act came too late to tare his
house. Louis Phlllippe had already been
Chosen King or the French, and the Bourbons
were, to all human appearance, forever ex
cluded from the French tbrone. The only
surviving descendant of Charles.'and repre
sentative of the alleged claims of the Bour
bons to tbe French tbrone. Is that same
grandson, knov;n as the Count de Chambord,
who Is 48 years of age. He Is, of course, an
exile, but is regarded as tbe lawful King or
France by the legitimists, whose hopes or a
restoration be feeds by occasionally holding
levees in a kingly style.
TUE BOUKBONS IN SPAIN.
Tbe establishment of the Spanish Bour
bon dynasty originated with Louis XIV. of
France, who, in the year 1700, succeeded In
filaclng his grandson, Phillip, Duke of An
ou, on tbe tbrone or Spain, as Phillip I.
The descendants or Phillip rnfed without in
terruption, until. In 1803, Napoleon compel
led King Charles IV. to resign, and nominat
ed a successor to blm In tbo person or Joseph
Bonaparte, the Emperor's brother. Charles
died at Rome in 1811, and after tbe overture w
of Napoleon, the eldest son or Charles as
cended tbe Spanish throne, as Ferdinand
VII. Dying, in- 1830, Ferdinand left tho
crown to his daughter Isabella, In whose
favor lie had set. aside, by royal decree, tbe
salic law forbidding a female to sit upon the
throne. Tho claims of Isabella were con
tested by Ferdinand's brother, Don Carlos,
which garc rise to the Carllst war, but Don
Carlos having failed to establish bit preten
tious eventually resigned tbem, and died In
1835. nis son, tbe Count Montemolln, in
1860. reuouuerd alUcIalm to tbe throne of
Spain. The Bourbon princes of Spaiti have
inrariably exhibited the worst characteristics
or their race foremost among which are a
passion fornbsolnte power, and u proneness
to sensual self-lndultencc and under their
pernicious rnle every Interest, the prosperity
of which constitutes the strength and glory
of a nation, has dwindled away.
THE BOCKEONS IN HALT.
Thelatc Bonrbon dynasties or tbe Kingdom
of Naples and the Duchies of Parma and Pla
cenza were founded by Phillip V. of Spain
In the early part or tbe 18th- century. Tbey
were overthrown for the time by tho first
Napoleon, but after bis downfall tbe Bour
,bous were restored to tbe Kingdom of tbe
Tn o Sicilies, which they continued to govern
till the revolution of i860 drove Francis II.
to Gaeta as a refuge. This prince still lives,
an exile and a murderer, and It does not seem
probable that he will erer recorer his posses
sions. The Bourbons of Parma and Placeu
za lost those duchies In 1659, which were
annexed to Sardinia, and now-form a part or
the Kingdom or Italy.
THE TOUNOEB BHASCU Or THE rAMILT.
The branch or tbe Royal Family or France,
known as the House or Orleans, la a younger
branch or tho Bourbon family, and was
rounded by Phillip-. Dnke or Orleans, the
younger brother of Lonis XTV. From him
aescenaen mo uuKe or Orleans wuo played
so remarnaoiea part miue first trench revo
lution as Citizen Egalite, and met so tragical a
rate, pcrlihlmr bv the trnlllntine In 1703.
Louis Phillippe, chosen King or the French
In the Revolution or July, 1S30, was tbo ton
or Egalite; and the Connt or Paris, grand
son of Louis Phlllippe, is tbe present repre
sentative or the Orleans branch or the Bonr
bon family. It will be remembered that this
prince and bis younger brother, the Dnke of
Chartrcs, were with onr array for some time
during tbe lato war. The Count of Eu, an
other of Lonis Phillippe's grandsons, Is the
husband of the eldest daughier of (he Em
peror or Brazil, tbo heiress ot the throne or
Brazil; and the Dnke of Mootpensier tbe
youngest son of Louis Phlllippe, it married
to Maria Isabella, Infante orSpain, and sister
or Queen Isabella, Tbe party in Spain,
known as tbe Liberal Union, is supposed to
be in favor of his election to tbe Spanish
throne, In tbe room or Isabella. A". T. Tri
