each beautifully decorated with fl.igs in honor of the

"3f Last night, being the night before the funeral
of the well-beloved Lun aulo, large crowds of natives,
men and women, gathered in the enclosure of Iolani
Talace, to chant funeral dirges. The choirs of the
native churches sang some plaintive music exceed
ingly well.
Mastlb. op the Kilauea. CapUin Lorenzo Mar
chant has beeu appointed to the command of our
steamer. He has had a very extensive experience in
the coaling business in former years, and gained
the reputation of being a careful,' skillful seaman.
He was always popular with the traveling public,
both foreign and native, untiring and assiduous in
his efforts to make his passengers comfortable.
Executive Pardons. On Wednesday last, in
Privy Council, His Majesty the King pardoned the
following named inmates of the prison, who were
discharged on Thursday : Kaanaana, manslaughter;
Ahquai, assault to rape; II. Dimond (half-caste),
larceny; Kuia, selling liquor to natives; Kaukano
and Naapuelua, perjury. In all the foregoing oases
the terms of imprisonment Lad nearly expired.
Tue Second Interregnum. Mr. Thos. 0. Thrum,
bookseller and stationer, will issue next Tuesday
brochure of 16 pages, the size cf the Friend, which
will contain a complete history of the late interreg
num, together with all the " campaign documents"
issued, and events which occurred from the death to
the funeral of King Lunalilo. This will prove
very valuable for preservation for future reference,
and for mailing.
Prompt. Last Thursday evening at about half
past 8 o'clock, by an accident the bell of the Station
House was made to strike several times. The result
was that in a very short time, some thirty or forty
men of the enrolled minute men, or spcoial police,
came rushing along to the Station House, thinking
that the bell was a signal for their attendance.
This shows that they will respond when really
needed which no one doubts. i
The Gazette declares that it rejoices in the election
of Kalakaua. So do we rejoice most heartily. But
is this the same Gazette which in commenting a
short time ago on the letter of the then Col. Kala
kaua as published by us a letter which at the time
elicited almost general commendation is this the
same journal that sharply and petulantly criticised
the author of what it termed "a most significant
document,' the appearance of which it thought was
"very injudicious"? But circumstances change
and so do some men's opinions.
IHstorv " Repeating Itself. Something like a
coincidence is found in English history to our little
trouble during the second interregnum. In the year
men, t-i, j, i.w uwuuu, iu a panic at tbC
troublous state of political affairs, ran away from his
crown and government, and until the accession of
William and Mary there was an interregnum, and
the populace were for a time masters of the situation
On the 12th of February, which was Thursday,
" the people rose in a tumult and destroyed all the
mass-houses. They attacked and rifled the houses of
foreign ambassadors, where many of the Catholics
had stored their most valuable effects. Jefferies, the
Chancellor, who had disguised himself in order to fly
the kingdom, was discovered by them, and so abused
that he died shortly after. Even the army, which
should have suppressed these tumults, would, it was
apprehended, serve rather to increase the general
disorder."
Military Reorganization. By reference to the
official documents which appear in to-day's paper,
emanating from the office of the Secretary at War,
it will be seen that the Military service is to tro
reorganized, and placed upon what appears to be
a basis that will ensure efficiency, economy and
proper discipline. The knowledge and experience
of Attorney General Hartwell will be invaluable
in this connection. Major J. Bates Dickson, who
has been appointed as Aid to the Secretary, Is no
holiday soldier, having seen several years of active
serviee in the late American war. . He fought
under Rosecranz in the Southwest, and it is a suffi
cient guarantee of his executive ability to know
that he has been Adjutant General of an army
corps. Capt. Phillip Opfergeit, also appointed
Secretary's Aid, was an officer in the Prussian
service during the late European war. Thus,
while our Secretary at War may have had little
or no experience in the fieid of Mars, his Aids have
bo h smelt powder when the burning of it meant
business.
Mark Twain on the Islands-
We have recently seen allusions going the rounds
of the papers to a lecture on the Sandwich Islands
with which this humorist had been treating the Lon
doners, and we were curious to know just what he
had said about U9. The Spectator ha3 come to hand,
in which appears a review of the lecture, too long
however for our columns. In reading this, we are
convinced that Mark's vein of humor is by no means
exhausted, and moreovef that he is just as careless as
ever as to whose the expense, if fun is only produced;
He began his lecture with a " candid avowal of his"
wish to gratify the violent temporary and momentary
hunger for information about the Sandwich Islands,
with as serious an air as if the fame of the Sandwich
Islands was really iu every mouth, and anxiety about
them the ruling passion of every heart. The resolve
either to appease or to stimulate ta a still higher level
of enthusiasm the assumed thirst for knowledge about
the Sandwich Islands, became in the highest degree
grotesque."
He propounded a problem to the audience which
had exercised his mind very much " Why the Sand
wich Islands should have been put away out there in
the middle of the Pacific Ocean," a point which he
declared to be not really " open to criticism," so that
it would not be "graceful to dwell upon it." He
told his hearers that the kanaka men, not being
proud, used to wear nothing but " a smile, or a pair
of spectacles, or any little thing like that;" and
sbout the cannibal kanaka who wanted to try " how
Europeans would go with onions," and who, after j
eating the tqugb, captain or a waaier. uieu ot tne j
erime on his conscience and the whaler on his stoni- i
- . . . . .........
ach-" cf the blessings of European influence to the :
. . r i u- '
kanakas as having consisted of complicated diseases, ,
education, civilization, and all sorts of calamities;"
about the liberality with which kanakas adopt moth
ers; and so on with abundance of absurdities, wind
ing up appropriately with the statement that one
could have all kinds of a climate in the Islands, from
tropical heat to the air of the mountain top, where it
is so miserably cold that a man can't tell the truth !"
Mark Twain has evidently spent a good deal of his
time on the mountains.

To the ElI it or of the Par'Jic, (,inmrrti'il Advertiser :
The new appointment, both in the Cabinet and
on tho Bench, have taken everybody (lien? any
way) by surprise ; and nt thtf same lime have given
as much satisfaction an the selection of any four
men in the one case, and two in the other could,
to a community, eminently distinguished lor rais
ing objections.
WHAT WE EXPECT.
We now expect that the cluuiy office ol ' Gov
ernor " of Maui, will be done away with, and the
duties pertaining thereto be divided between the
Attorney General nnd Minister ol the Interior. Of
late, the delays attendant upon gelling anything
through the Governor's office, wui ranted ua in be
lieving that he acted through the Minister ol For
eign Affairs, a channel that is necennfirily a torur-
; 011s one, ns all its business is transacted through
the medium of "correspondence."
Whether v'our late Governor will tsettle down
easily in his new office depends upon the choice he
makes of an Auditor, i. e., depends upon retaining
the present incumbent.

OUR PARIS LETTER.
Paris, January 13th, 157-1.
Politically it is but of little importance how
often the singers be recast, so long as the music
itself remains unchanged. Possessing no states
men to direct her affairs, France has no loss to
deplore when her Ministers are either defeated or
dismissed ; or resign, the better to remain in office.
Actors and spectators since months past understand
this comic opera, which is enjoying a forced run.
Every Ministerial discomfiture, is known In ad
vance will be arranged, replastered ; but the check
will not be forgotten, and very new shock induces
fresh debility. This exhausting process may be
long, even trying for the h-ir-npparent in the
present case the country, but the issue is certain to
be fatal. The living and the hopeful can find
pleasure if they choose, in the struggles more or
less agonizing of such a moribund ns the existing
Assembly, which like Robinson Crusoe claims to
be monarch of all it surveys, though its right is
disputed by a people. Every fresh repulse for the
party which is devoted to oppose the wishes of the
country, is additional lead in the wing. Sinoe the
relinquishing of the policy inaugurated by Thiers
that of rallying all moderate men to liberally
concur in bowing to the manifest vetdict of the
country for a wise and real, not an extreme or
mock Republic, matters have only progressed from
bad to worse. France is now suffering from the
determination of men to govern the country in the
interests of party. Hence, the absence of all gov
ernment, as Ministers labor to make the mountain
come to them. How can the Republic produce
stability, when it is only decreed as provisional,
and even this is refused organization ? The electors,
as patient as Job, await the moment when they
shall be called upon to elect a new Chamber, as
the present cannot continue to survive after pass
ing Constitutional laws. The ostensible object
just now is to manipulate the electoral body to
make it monarchical, anything, rather than Repub
lican. Hence the grotesque crusade against uni
versal suffrage, now one of the estates of the realm
and of contemplated fee faw Dim laws against the
press. It is the same spirit which has pushed the
Ministers to propose converting the 30,000 mayors
and their assessors into electioneering agents. The
safety of France it H't'ins depends on this Hocial
reform The Assembly thought otherwise, by re
jecting its consideration in the morning, to vote
the opposite in the afternoon. Every superseded
mayor, will become an opposition election agent,
with the strong motives against the royalist gov
ernment conviction and resentment; and parish
ioners will be more inclined to listen to the raf.yors
they spontaneously elected, but who have been
dismissed, not on account of incompetency to ad
minister the affairs of their Commune, but owing
to holding opposite political views, rather than the
successors imposed by the Home Office.
It is supposed that by thus centralizing the
humblest functionaries, the government will be
able to return the official candidate a spectre that
has vanished with the late empire, and under which
voters marched to the poll between a policeman
and a gendarme. But Sedan and Melz have opened
the eyes of elector?, and universal suffrage has
frrown robust an manly of late. Indeed, since
May lat, the monarchists have been in possession
of power, they have swept away all tbey could of
officials and journals tainted with Republicanism,
and still the country has become more Republican 1
Ill 1M1. UlU l"J"
In 1851, tho populace only wa3 Republican to-day,
,he iljHl.,Jt,0;s a imich g0 as the workman, the
rich, as much as the poor : hence, the difficulty of
drafting a scheme of voting that would produce a
special class favorable to monarchy,
The most r(.m:irkai,H circumstance to note is. the
perfect tranquility which everywhere reigns, and
this, despite an administration that is irritant rather
than conciliating:, and independent of martial law
and bayonets. ' The nation is resigned, feeling
certain of victory. It remains calm when officially
calumniated, and only laughs now when a Minister
aunounces the country to be in danger. The bug
bear is as much seen through as the " order " of
Napoleon III., both had the same consoling effect
as the parson's "Mesopotamia" in his sermon,
had on the old lady. However, so long as Minia-
U rn retrain from organizing the Republic ly acts.

With the present Assembly, although elected by

provinces, paid five milliards ransom money, nnd
suffered at home an equal money lo by the i.iva
