:...
The ri-ints of iycrnoi of tlioevcral iel-
; unJn, prrvioua to the Constitution of 1852, were
" of.alaioet tice-regal imrortancc, anJ tle jower
atjl autiiunij wielde! bjeucli cLIeft as John
Adams Kuakini, the Governor of Hawaii, was
?)nJ aj to thi of tbr King, who ecldom
interfercl in the executite control of the mpectj
ive island. The Constitution of Kamehamcya
III. for the first time defined the status and dutjps
r.f the (JoTcrnow, in Article 59, which read :
The Governors, subject to the King, shall have
the exclusive control of their respective IslanJs;
agreeably with the Constitution and laws of the land;
aaJ they shall have the command of the military
forces of their respective Islands, and shall make an
annual report of the administration) of their respect
ive Islands to the Minister of the Interior."
Since 1352, however, it has been the constant
fybMcj of legislation to gradually circumscribe the
powers and duties of the office of iJovernor, until
to-day. instead of these officials having "the
exclusive control of their respective islands,"
tbej may to a great .extent (with the excep
tion of the Governor of Oahu) be termed tbcagenta
of the Minister of the Interior. In the Consti
tution of 1804, the title of Governor is not to be
found. But by statuto enactment they still
nominate the district justices, ' collectors and
Bseecsors of taxes ; receive and pay the taxes over
fc the Finance office ; their consent is necessary
to the shipment of native seamen and it is their
duty to enforce the bonds for the same; they
bind as apprentices or servants all minors above
the ag of ten years, if such minor have no
parent living, or none competent to apprentice
him or h r, and there be no guardian ; in cases of
wrecks or shipwrecked goods, the Governors
direct the heads of police to take charge of the
same for the owners ; they designate pounds and
keep a record of brands, etc., etc.
The Gazette is in error in its statement that
the appointment of the Hon. b. Kipi to the
Governorship of the Island of Hawaii transfers
h.;kk fom among the representatives to the
Nobles. Theie is no Constitutional provision or
statutory enactment, t.or baa there ever been any,
which makes tho Governors tx-ojicio members of
the Houee of Nobles. Those who have hereto
fore sat a Nobles hare dona so by virtue of their
letters patent. Cut it would certainly be ao
anomaly to see His Excellency the Governor of
Hawaii fitting in the House as ono of the Keprc
tentatives for Hilo, and we therefore opine that
lie will rtign the latter position and that a new
flection will be held in that district to fill the
vaeaney. Thus It will appear that neither of the
new appointees to Governorships will sit in the
next Assembly, unless they shall reoviie tentd
of Nobility io the meantime. There are at pres
ent, including two absentees, sixteen Nobles,
exclusive of the Ministers, and the Constitution
limits the number that may be appointed by the
King to twenty.
Both the appointments, that of the Honorable
'Samuel Kipi to the large and important Island of
Hawaii, and of Judge Kapena to the equally
important gubernatorial division of Maui and its
dependencies, may be eharaetcnied as very judi
m ... I " '
a I
tious. H hue as we have observed, the tendency I
ima ruxn to lc3sen the responsibilities and to ' a
detract from the importance of these positions, ,;
the influence to be exerted over the native popu
lation by the presence among them of officials of
their own race, who to their minds at least, in
some sort represent the authority of the Throne,
should not be lost eight of. Mr. Kipi is a native
gentleman of good education, shrewd and ener
getic, one who by industry and attention to
agriculture in his district has bocome a man of
property and eonwdeTation, having represented
Hilo in the Legislature during eeveral sessions.
Judge Kapena, the new Governor of Mani, was
educated at Punahoti College, ppeaks English
fluently, and, prerionsiy to Lis appointment as
Circuit Judze for ' Oahu, was for EeveTal years
the able and talented editor of the Au Okoa, j

Cattle tbowa have conft.-oeediy done much in
Jrcat Iiritain tvtardd promoting the well-known
excellence of the tock of thru country, and the
same results are fdlowing a like practic- in
America, where in many t-tates every cunty ha
its annual cuttle frhow and fair. We all know
tliat if there in any one thing upon which the
good oj'le of (ireut iiritain an 1 Ireland pride
thenir c-, it in their fcueos as t-tock faruien".
In machinery rind manufacturer other countries
are following (apt after, and in some instances
succetu-fully competing with Britain, the Conti
nental natioiiu no doubt excelling in artistic
beauty of workmanhhip; but the Britons are still
pre-eminent in raiding animals fjr food. No na
tion -ats k much animal food in proportion to the
number of its population as docs the Bntinh. In
the word of the old eon:
"Mitrl.ty t'utt be--f is an Kuli.hman'a fxl.
It arcouuta for the humor tbal runa in liia llxd.n
At all events?, the production of beef and inut- t
ton is a national specialty. For the cereals, con- .
sumed as food, Great Britain depends somewhat on '
foreign nations, but the skill, energy and enterprise .
in supplying displayed beef and mutton by Kng- :
land, Ireland and .Scotland, are indisputable.
Ami in this respect much is due to the cattle
frhows, by spreading information, promoting dis- !
cufceion, testing theories and exhibiting the prac
tical f icts relating to the production of animal food.
The inten-rt which all ersons take in thcfe ex
hibitions is noteworthy. The Itoyal Family have :
been competitors at them, aud do not merely send j
stock in the sjirit of itronage, but rather in ;
that of emulation. (Ve rcrnemfier in these Isl
lands that Kamehameha IV. used to be a promi
nent exhibitor at our Agricultural JSocicty Fairs.) ;
The fall and winter months are the great time j
for cattle shows in England and Ireland. Kach
country has an association composed of the gentry '
farmer and nobility, under whose auspices the '
fairs take place in the Central towns, often con- !
tinuing three or four days or a week. Besides '
the most approved breeds of cattle, wonderful
displays arc oftentimes made in the way of farm I
and garden products, and so eager is the spirit of
rivalry that industrious husbandmen nrwl horti
culturists look forward to the event with the most
intense eagerness to secure prizes. In this way, '
and through the intercourse which such enter- ;
prises promote, these fairs have gradually become
a most potent agency in aiding the stock growing '
aud agricultural interests of the United Kingdom. :
Would not similar results follow in Hawaii nei
were we to revive to-day the Agricultural .Society :
(or its equivalent) of twenty years ago.

A corkmpo.m.k.xt of the -New York Tribune, (re- !

during tLe time in which she was engaged in obtaining j
soundings with reference to laying the Japan cable, :

the North Pacific, one of which has an elevation
above its surroundiugs of 4,000 feet. A great deal
of information has been obtained respecting the cur
rents of that ocean, and among other notable facts
established in the demonstration that the California
coast current is a part of the great "Japan circle
current," described by Capt. Silas Bent sixteen
years ago, and which corresponds in the Pacific to
the Gulf Stream iu the Atlantic. The determination
of this fact was arrived at by a careful comparison
of very numerous observations on the speed of sur
face, under currents and counter currents and their
comparative temperatures. The full account of the
Tutcarora,t voyages, both in the North and the
Mi 1-Pacific, will, when published, prove of great in
terest and value.
TniRTT-rivE teaks .too, Thos. II. Benton, com
monly known in those days as " Old Bullion," de
livered a speech upon finances in the United States
Senate, in the course of which he made some remarks
which bear upon a prominent issue of to-day in
America, and which are of interest to us at these
islands in view of monetary questions that have been
discussed of late, and that may again come up for
consideration. One passage in Benton's speech we
will quote : One of the highest functions of money
Is to measure values. That is a function which paper
cannot perform. The measure of values must itself
possess intrinsic value, and must itself be free from
sudden or material variations of value. As well
miht you attempt to make a measure of lengths out
of that which has no length ; a measure of weights
out of that which has no weight ; a measure of quan
ties out cf tbat which has no capacity to hold any
quantity, as to endeavor to make a measure out of
that which has no intrinsic value. The precious
metals alone cau constitute a measure of values ;
paper money can measure the value of nothing, not
even of itself ; its own value is eternally measured
by its reaction by its convertibility into specie."
This is stating the case quite strongly ; but it may
be well to const Icr-the questions in advance which
may erelong be brought before us.
Ir is soMETiMiji annoying as well as amusing, to
note the gross ignorance of the subject displayed in
American journals whenever they undertake to com
ment upon Hawaiian affairs nor, indeed are the
journalists of Great Britain in any way behind their
trans-Atlantic cousins in this regard. In the
U'ctkly Dispatch of Pittsburg, Pa., of Jan. 21, we
find half a column devoted to generally loose and
incorrect statements in regard to the islands, conclud
ing with the fallowing bit of rel:able news,"
The idea cf the natives "strongly plea-ling" for an
nexation, is certainly good :
" Should Lunalilo die early, as it is expected he
will, a variety of claimants may sek the crown.
Queen Bmma, widow cf Kamehameha, and Mrs.
Bishop are among the female names prominently
mentioned. It is not the line of succession, however,
that interests us, so much as the probable fict that
Lunaliio's death will be the signal for another effort
to bring about annexation with the Lnited States.
winter the prospect was vigorously canvassed.
nJ among the natives was strongly pleaded for. Ten
or twelve months experience cf Lunalilo cannot have
strengthened the islanders in their devotion to home
rule. They will make, it is thought, an earnest ap
peal for union with the United States; but the wooing
will in great likelihood, be all on their side. Those
islands would bring us no special benefit."
A late number of the London Tilegrajh, gravely
informs its readers that a live specimen of the "Bodo"
has been received from the Sandwich Islands, and de
votes a column to the subject of the extinct creature.

JIaje-ty received the members .f the F-Teign
lirl-matic and Consular Corjs, at an audience
at lolani I'alace. There were present iu the re
ception rooni, attending upvn the King, His
Jloyal Highness l'rince Lelciohoku, the Cabinet
Minirttrs, His Majesty's Aid", His Excellency
Gov. Ikmiiiis and Ail", and the Hon. Charles II.
BiaLop.
His Excellency II. A. l'ein e, American Minis
ter I'csi lent, addrc6ei His Majesty as follows:
Voik Majk-tt : I have the honor to tender re-sjH-tful
congratulations with sincere good wishes oa
the auspicious events of Your Majesty's Accession
to the Throne; and the appointment of Your Royal
Brother, William Pitt Leleiohoku to succeed, when
ia the course of Divine Providence the Throne shall j
Le again vacant.
May Your Majesty's reign be cue full of years and j
of honors; and such as will secure for Your Nation j
the inestimable blessings, of Peace, Happiness an 1 :
Prosperity. i
To which His Majesty replied as follows:
It atfr Is me profound satisfaction to receive from j
. .it tl.a i:iniira frr. I vuhoa .nil ir.n(Tirnl.rn.ne
which you have just expressed upon my Ac;ession to
the Th rone and tlie appointment of my Brotlier to
eucceel me.
I shall never forget the prompt manner in which
you and the officers and men of the United States
ships then in port answered the call of the authori
ties on the 12th ultimo., in assisting to quell the sud
den and unexpected disturbance of that day, and you
and Captains Belknap and Skerrett have added one
more to the almost innumerable obligations for which
my little Kingdom stands indebted to the Great Re
public, and which have assisted in securing to it iu
the past, the blessings of Peace, Happiness and Pros
perity which you desire for it during my reign.
Major Wodehousc, II. B. M. Commissioner and
Consul .cneral, addressed His Majesty in the fol
lowing words :
Allow me to express my sincere congratulations on
Your Accession to the Throne of Hawaii, and my hope
that the friendly and cordial good understanding
which has always existed between Your Royal Prede
cessors and the Sovereigns and Government of Great
Britain, may be uninterruptedly maintained during
Your Majesty's reign, which I pray may be long and
prosperous.
To which His Majesty replied :
I receive with extreme pleasure your congratula
tions on my accession to the Throne of Hawaii. I
cannot doubt, but that the friendly and cordial good
understanding which has always existed between my
predecessors and the sovereigns and government of
Great Britain, will be uninterruptedly maintained
during my reign.
I cannot let this opportunity pass, without stating
how much I am indebted to you. Major Wodehouse,
for your personal active and courageous assistance in
quelling the riot on the 12th ultimo. And how
valuable I consider the presence on shore on that oc
casion of Lieut. Bromilow, and the officers and men
from the Tencdos under the command of Capt. Hay,
assuring you and Capt. Kay that I look upon your
efforts and his co-operation on that day as auspicious
events at the commencement of the reign which you
pray may be long and prosperous.
M. Ballicu, Consul of France, addressed the
King as follows :
Sire : I am happy to take the opportunity that
is offered to me to present Your Majesty my respect
ful homage.
That it may please God to give you long life and a
prosperous reign, is my sincere wish and hope; and
in saying this I am sure that I express the feelings
of France.
To which His Majesty responded :
It gives me the greatest pleasure on this occasion
to receive you, Monsieur Ballieu, the Representative
of France, and to believe that I have the good wishes

Belgium and the Netherlands. Mr. Heuck spoke
us follows :
Sire : May it please Your Majesty to receive
through me the sincerest congratulations of the For
eign Consuls upon your happy accession to the
Throne.
Hawaii nei, united by bonds of friendship and re
spect with all the world, cannot fail to prosper under
Your Majesty's reign commencing under such prom
ising auspices.
Confident that Your Majesty's Government will as
heretofore assist us, the endeavors of the Consular
Corps will ever be to promote commercial intercourse
between your country and those whose flags we rep
resent. Our hopes and wishes are long life and a prosper
ous reign to Your Majesty.
His Majesty replied to the address of the For
eign Consuls as follows :
It gives me great pleasure, gentlemen, to receive
your congratulations on this occasion. I recognize
the importance and value of friendly relations with
all the world as a means of promoting the prosperity
of my Kingdom. My Government will no doubt do
all in its power to encourage commercial intercourse
between this country and those whose flags you so
worthily represent, and I shall be the more desirous
to see that commercial intercourse increased, because
it involves the necessity of increasing at the same
time, the exchangeable products of this Kingdom,
by which means alone it can attain the prosperity
you desire for it during my reign.

THE HAWAIIAN' ISLANDS ARE
noted the world over for their unrivaled salubrity of
climate. Certain localities in the group are esec
ially favored in this way. The District of Koua, on
the leeward side of Hawaii, has long been famed as a place of
resort for Invalids with bronchital, or lung diseases. With its
pure and mild atmosphere, with its absolute freedom from
storms or high winds, with its porous soil which, with all its
rich vegetation, retains no dampness aud yields no malaria, and
with an unvarying temperature that f the American or
Southern European June ALL THE YEAR ROUND, the
climate of Kona Is one of the healthiest and most luxurious on
the globe.
The undersigned, at his house at Kaawaloa, a house uoe
qualed in the district for size, cleanliness, commodiousness,
and thoroughness of furnishing, is prepared to give boarders
excellent rooms and all obtainable comforts in the way of diet, at
the low rate of $ 5.00 per week. There are fresh water baths
on the premises, and fin aa bathing within a short diatance.
The steamer Kilaueaand the achoonera I'ilama and Prince, run
regularly between Honolulu and the Kaawaloa landing.
The undersigned employs no agents nor runners. His house
sDeaks for itself upon inspection. A. A. TODD.
