Pointing to a spot below, he said there was my father' "house, and there I wat bom and lived till I was something of a boy. Indeed ; I said, I sup pose there were more canoes in the harbor than we see now. There happened to be three or four small ones there at the time. Yes indeed ; you see that flat there above the rocks ; there were two large canoe houses on it, quite full, and all round here among these rocks and banks were dwelling booses. See, there were two close together there, pointing to one spot; another there, and look up the valley, etc., etc. ; and so he continued pointing and 1 counting on my fingers till we got to over thirty. Why, this place was full of people; one Chief had his house where 3'ours is now ; there was another midway up the hill, and one near the summit, lhere is nothing now. Y ell, my old grandfather prophccied to me when I was a liu'e bov. that all this would happen. Whv. I 8a''' how was that? tell me. Oh he had a fancy for me. and used to tell me all about the aid tunes; and one day he was describing to ui how to find the entrance to some caves at Pukuilua, where val uables of the Chiefs had been hidden in the wars, when he stonoed. and said -But what is the use of all this to you (oe), you are all going to die off the land. You (oukou) are rejoicing at tins new light which is coining in upon you, and forsaking all your old ways f.r it ; lit you will die away be fore it. You (oe) have looked at the heavens be fore daybreak, the stars were so many you could not count them, the dawn began to rise, there were only two or three lie re and there, you looked ajrain, they were all one. So will it be with you ; you will disappear and be lost. I see it and tell it you, and you will see it." I did not, said Kanoho, believe the old man then, but I do now. In my previous letters I have endeavored to show there was reason to believe that the evils pressing on the Hawaiian race and threatening their ex tinction have mainly owed their origin to faulty legislation. I endeavored to show that the spirit of the law ought to be in accordance with the Bpirit of the people, and that when, jn contraven tion of this now, I think, recognized principle, the two. in other countries, have been placed in oppo sition to each other, evil has always resulted. In my present letters I have pointed to three particular social ills pervading this people, and menacing them with ruin, viz., licentiousness, physical disease, and disregard to the sanctity of an oath. I have traced the specific operation or the course of legislative action pursued, and have, I think, shown that it has been the great cause of the alarming extent of these ills. In particular I have shown that the regulations, ordinances and laws against licentiousness were of a nature to augment, and have in effect vastly augmented, the very disorders they were intended to curb. 1. That s regarded their operation on trans gressors they were simply vindictive, and not re formatory, and, by removing these from their proper guardians, and huddling men, women uud the youth of both sexes in crowds together, and without any effective supervision, they necessarily morally degraded, and physically contaminated all on whom the penalty of government service was inflicted. 2. That far passing in the measure of their se verity the punishment which in the general senti ment of the people these transgressions merited. they moved to pity instead of producing disgrace. and that thus the stigma generally attached to con victed guilt, which in well-ordered communities. far more than the actual punishment, deters from evil, has been wholly wanting here. 3. That acting in opposition to the feelings and wishes of parents and husbands, these have been as it were forced to 6hield such transgressions and protect the transgressors, and have consequently lost the power to check them. 4. That as in all communities there is a strong tendency to evade laws running counter to general sentiment by breaking through the sanctity of oaths, winch thus become in the eves of the multi tude a mere farce, so here such miiiht have been expected to be the result, and has in fact been the result ot the laws in question : that this result, from the peculiar iosition of the people in regard to the newly adopted religion, has been productive of an immense amount of evil, threatens to render the due administration of justico impossible, and is leading into atheism or back to heathendom. 5. That, having in this respect reduced to nothing .the influence of parents over children, these laws liaye, in conjunction with the faulty organization of the schools, been the great cause of the fearful demoralization of the young of hotli sexes, a demoralization so excessive as to menace the extinction of the race from this cause alone by rendering the women incapable of becoming moth ers. G. That the grpnt increase of licentiousness thus producod has so diffused the diseases which are its attendants, that the people yearly perish of them in alarming numbers. 7. That all these causes combined have most rapidly depopulated the land, and still continue to depopulate it. 8 I have suggested an hypothesis as to the cause 01 this most faulty legislation, which, as it seems to me, is the only feasible one to account tor it It is thus, to me at least, apparent that it is not fo much to any innate defects in the race but rather to the injurious operation of certain laws that we ) are to trace the melancholy condition of things staring us in the face. That race indeed must obviously have many redeeming qualities to enable them yet to retain, in the midst of disorders which would utterly degrade any other nation in our eyes, that measure of affection, love, and even esteem, which all who know them well and estimate them fairly are ready to yield them. It is indeed won derful to see, how, weight down as they have been by that most injurious of despotims, a moral tyranny, they yet retain so much of their native virtues, and have added to these so much of Christian charity and forbearance. It is often also surprising to see the progress that, amidst all the disad vantages under which they labor, they have made in just views of things, and how ready they are to turn their very imperfect book educa tion to the best advantage. It is evident that it is not from themselves but in their surroundings that they are sunk so much beneath us, and that with the same advantages many of them would rise to a full equality with the white man.

CF On first page see Mr. Holstein's third letter on agricultural subjects. THE POLYNESIAN. SATURDAY. JUNK 7, 1802 (jy We have before remarked that in whatever direction, and to whatever extent, the Legislature may deem it proper and wise to curtail or draw in existing expenses, yet should they not only keep up the means for existing sanitary, educational and in justrial objects, but make it a matter of con science and duty to enlarge their sphere and in crease their number. In merging offices and re ducing salaries, very little of any other motive comes into play than that of expediency; but in erecting hospitals, encouraging agriculture, pro viding and improving schools, &c., the commands of duty rise always superior to those of expedi ency, and are sometimes directly contrary to it. A Sheriff may be a Collector of Customs or Col lector of Taxes, or a Tostmaster be a .Sheriff, or one Minister preside over several departments. It is a simple question of personal ability on one hand, and political expediency and economy on theother. So long as the incumbent is willing and able, and public interests do not suffer, there can be no other limit in piling offices on an individual. Cut a jail cannot be a mad-house, nor u school room a veneri al hospital, nor a hospital an agricultural school. Their functions in society are distinct, inconverti ble, and paramount to any claims of expediency. Public duty counsels their separate e.-tablishment and continual enlargement and improvement, each within its own peculiar sphere. Their functions cannot be merged by fusion, or their means crip pled by reduction without neglecting that public duty, whose strict and liberal performance marks the sensitiveness of the public conscience of a State With these preliminary remarks, we wish to call the attention of the Legislature to the fact that in this country there is as yet no provision made for insane people. There is neither a proper place to receive them, nor an appropriation to maintain them. Hitherto the most tractable of such unfor tunate cases have !een sent to the Honolulu station house, either ly warrant of some district judge or as a matter of public necessity, and the incurable confirmed lunatics have been transferred to the Oahu State-prison. Now it is evident that in neither of these places can those pitiul wrecks of humanity receive that attention and care which their peculiar cases demand. In the station-house it is not seldom a serious question where to accom modate them when the cells are full, besides that their frantic cries and wild behavior are not only a public nuisance to the neighborhood, but would also require a greater number of policemen than the present scanty constabulary can 11 fiord. The police, in its present shorn proportions, is not half enough to watch the town from the depredations of criminals, let alone l)eing the keeper of madmen- In the prison the same objections exist with far greater force, inasmuch as simple humanity dic tates that the prisoners, condemned to hard labor, should not after their day's work have their rest disturbed by the yells of these maniacs, and inns much as the repressive discipline, that would silence a refractory but Bane criminal, would be an indefensible act of cruelty to a madman. And when we scrutinize the expense of the police and prison keeping, it should he borne in mind that a not insignificant figure arises from the necessity of maintaining and guarding those unfortunates whom the law ignores and for whom the State has made no provision. We learn that for the last year alone forty such insane persons, men and women, have been taken care of by the police, some for a longer, some for a shorter time, until either cured or reclaimed by relatives who have promised to tend them, or sent to the prison as incurable. Formerly there were but few cases out of Honolulu, but of late their num ber has alarmingly increased since they have began to be sent here from all the other islands. There are now fourteen insane persons on the hands of the police and prison establishments of Honolulu, and there are many more, God knows, and the Lord pity them, who ought to have been, and in other countries would have been, taken care of ere this, had there been a proper asylum for their reception. Let it not be said again, honorable members of the Legislature, that the Government has no money for such an object ; for it must be had. Reduce an office or two more: take another screw on the sala ries : Bell out some steamer stock, some shares in the water works : squeeze the military : dispose of the wharf that you now pay $1,000 a year rent for, without receiving half that amount back in wharf age : borrow, if need be : tax, if at your wit's end ; but, for the repose of your own consciences, for tlu credit of yourselves individually, and for the honor of the country which you represent, for the sake of those unhappy beings, against whose sad fate over taking yourselves, your relatives or friends, you have now no prescription but the mercy of God, no asylum but the felon's cell, no hygiene but a prison diet, no keeper but a constable as christian men who love your fellow-beings, as the only means of showing, as the only measure of, your love of God; for each and all of these considerations we beseech you, do not adjourn until you have provided for this crying, growing want of the country ! Say not that you cannot find the means, while you are voting to yourselves and gracefully button ing your coats over $6,000 or 8,000 of the na tion's money for services where the honor should be reward enough. Your Constitution, Civil and Criminal Codes, your public works and your pri vate faiths are but unreal evidences of your coun try's civilization, while the helpless, gibbering, bawling, dangerous maniac is left to roam at large or sent to herd with felons ; while you continue to insult misfortune, and make your duty wait upon expediency. " Gentle as angel's ministry The guiding hand of love should be. Which seeks again those chords to bind Which human woe hath rent apart To heal again the wounded mind. And bind anew the broken heart.

Kepwrl sf the Fiitmsee Cwmuiillre f the lUwa af Rc(,rsMiniiv-a, Juae 4, 1862 To the Honorable the Speaker of the House of Repre sentatives : Sik : Your Committee of Finance, to whom was re ferred the Biennial Report of the Minister of Finance, beg now to report the Bill of Appropriations for the ensuing biennial term. Your Committee, in now re porting according to the rules of this House, this bill, would state that they will take another opportunity, at an early day, to review the report of the Minister, and that for the present they will confine ihemselves to mut ters pertaining to the bill now report d. The bill of appropriations proposed by the Minister in his report, provides for an expenditure of $484,243, a reducm of about !j2o0,000 from the amount contained in ihe appropriation bill for I860. About $ 120,000 Of this reduction is a real saving to the country (a curtailment of $60,000 annual expenditure), the balance of $130,000 is composed of amounts providing for the re newal of the National dtbt, and other items appropri ated for public improvements, and can therefore hardly be looked upon :s a genuine reduction of expenditure. Communications received from the Minister caused your Committee to add to the Bill of Appropriations, as reported by the Minister, the sum of $14,000. Due regard to the maintenance of the efficiency of the Go vernment caused your Committee to further add to the bill $8,000 in the Judiciary Department, and $9,000 in Miscellaneous Kxjenditure. These amounts (31,000) added to the Ministerial Bill wuld give in grand totals the sum of $515,000. Itie Miui.-ter s estimate of the revenue for the ensu inir fiscal period is $492,000. This estimate, in the opinion of your Committee, could not be legitimately increased. Your Committee, with a view to keep the expendi ture within the estimated revenue, have felt themselves obliged to still further reduce the expenditure, and have adopted, to effect this, a systematic reduction of salaries of Oovernment nlbcers. The bill now reported, while in the opinion of your Committee it provides more fully for the necessities of the Government, at the same time amounts to $487,854 only, and is consequently within the estimat ed revenue. 11.

The Committee are happy to observe that these and other kindred branches of instruction so well calculated to elevate aud improve the minds ol the pupils by Hie study of God's works, are receiving from the teachers that amount of atten tion which they deserve. This is as it shonid be. Let the scholars pursue, with zeal, their researches through the bound less field of Creation, for, as they proceed, they will find on every hand ever recurring marks ol wisdom, power and love, affording new incentives to aiiiuiiation, reverence and praise. The thoroughness manifested by the class examined in An cient History was complete, while the class in Milton dis played a gratilying acquaintance with a highly interesting nor lion of the works of that great master amoug old English Classics. The Committee recommend to the further attention of the Professors the study ot Engl.sli literature. The several classes in Mathematics maintained a high posi tion. The Committee were no less surprised by the novelty f the exhibition made ly the class of young ladirs in Conir Sec lions, than by the degree ol quickness and perfect knowledge of the work which they had attained. The drawings with which the wails of the class room were so tastefully adorned during the day of xaminaiioa, bore aliundaut testimony to lhe taste of the drawers, and a few of tliem exhibited a high degree of skill in the art. A considerable number of original com positions were deliv ered by the pupils of both sexrs. on a variet) of subjects. Many of these were alike creditable to the heads and hearts of the authors ; and some of litem, composed by the more ad vanced, showed genius as well as culture. Among the subjects worthy of particular notice, the Com mittee desire especially to mention the proficiency attaiued by the pupils in Vocal Muic. This deserves the highest praise, as must be attested bv the numerous and delighted audience who listened to the performances on Thursday evening. The improvement here during the past year is decidedly great, and reflects much credit on the present Professor, whose province it is to leach the elegant accomplishments of music and the French language, and who has successfully developed the naturally fine vocal powers of lhe students. The whole examination proved salislaetorily the care and industry of the pupils, as well as the pains-taking and thor onehness of the Professors, bearing the genuine fruita of real labor, and not of special preparation for the occasion. The Committee desire to recommend to the particular atten tion of the Trustees and the faculty as a subject worthy of con stant care, the physical well-being of the pupils. As a coun terpart to the pleasing and healthful exercises of Calisthenics, practiced by the young ladies, the Committee would respect fully recommend the adoption of some stated exercise for the young gentlemen, not of a character which might prove ex hausting or over straininr. but such aa might furnish agreea ble relaxation from mental application, while it braces the nerves and improves the carriage of the individual. In what form this might best be attained whet her in the shape of mili tary drill or otherwise, the Committee leave to the judgment of the guardians of the institution. In conclusion, the Committee desire to say that the practical mauHgemeut of the instil utinn is evidently incompetent hands. It 1 rapidly attaining a standing which ought to reader it dear to the heart of the entire eonvniiniiy.
