"WEDNESDAY, APRIL 22, 18C8.
The Legislative Assembly was opened
by Royal Commission, at the Court House,
on Saturday, at noon.
The Commissioners, H. H., Mateio Ke
Icnatjpa, the venerable father of the King,
and His Honor, E. H. Allen, Chief Jus
tice and Chancellor of the Kingdom. left
"the Palace underasalute from Punch-Bowl,
attended by the staff-officers, and escorted
'by the Cavalry, under command of Major
C. H- Judd. At the Court House, the
Household troops were drawn up in dress
parade.
On the Judges' platform wa3 placed the
'Throne chair, covered with the mantle,
supported on either side by the Royal Ka
hilis. 'iler Majesty Dowager Queen Emma,
and Her Majesty Dowager Queen Kaiama,
with the AliU of the Kingdom and the
House of Nobles, were seated on the right.
the House of Representatives in front, and
the Acting Minister of the United States,
H. B. M.'s Commissioner and Consul Gen
eral, II. I. M.'s Commissioner and Consul,
by the Chancellicr.and the Consular Corps,
on the left of the Commissioners.
The Commission of His Majesty having
been read in Hawaiian, by Justice Davis,
and in English, by the Clerk of the House,
the address from the Throne was deliver
ed by the Commissioners, as follows :
Nobles and Representatives" A great
calamity has befallen the Island uf Hawaii.
My duty to my subjects lias called me away
from my Capital, and I have delegated a Roy
al Commission, presided over by my well
belovcd father, to ppen the regular session of
the Legislature.
Until the last few weeks, my Kingdom has
enjojed uninterrupted prosperity. Peace,
quiet and abundance bad prevailed. Let us
bow humbly to the will of God Almighty,
who6e hand Is now heavy upon us, and let
us, with brave hearts and well-timed charity,
relieve the distress of those of our country
men who have been thus suddenly and severe
ly afflicted.
Our relations with forciim powers continue
to be most satisfactory. The Important trea
ty with the United States of America, which
was considered at the last extraordinary- ces
sion of the Legislature, has not yet received
the ratification of the President My Minis
ter of Foreirn Affairs will furnish you with
such intelligence of the progress of the ne
gotiation as may be, from time to time, re
ceived. Preliminary steps have been taken by my
Government to secure the conclusion of a
treaty witti the Confederation or Northern
Germany, to be substituted for our present
treaties with Bremen and Hamburg. Some
of our treaties have bceu denounced; changes
are contemplated in our stipulations with
England and France, and I confidently hope
that the result of these various negotiations
will increase our intercourse with Europe, as
the anticipated conclusion of our Conven
tion of Reciprocity will develop our trade
with the great republic of the United States.
Our negotiations with Japan have, so far,
been successful. Important and favorable
results may be expected from the opening of
trade with, and immigration from, that King
dom, v
My Minister of the Interior will inform
you of the 6tcps taken by the Bureau of Im
migration towards securinrr valuable addi
tions to our population and laborers for our
fields. An increased appropriation lsapplled
for, to enable my Government to solve, by
practical experiment, the question of immi
gration, whose importance to the Kingdom
will not escape your attention. You n 111 be
duly advised of the measures adopted by the
Board of Health during the last two years.
Owing, in a great measure, to the exertions
of the Board, the spread of the disease of
leprosy has been cheeked.
As soon as practicable, my Government
will inform you of the extent of the damage
doncou Hawaii by the last volcanic eruption.
It is hoped that it will not prove so exten
sive as to require any considerable curtail
ment from the appropriation for public im
provements in other islands.
Our finances are in a most orosDerons con
dition. The report of my octing Minister of
Finance will furnish you with all the neces
sary information on the state of the treasury.
Our credit stands high, onr public debt is
greatly reduced, and a considerable surplus
lsou hand. ShouIdtheTreatyof Reciprocity
acquire the force of law, some further legis
lation may be necessary.
It may be well for the Legislature to in
quire how far the prosperity of this King
dom, and the development of its resources,
may be promoted by judicious assistance to
the line of steamers plying between this port
and California, as well as to ourlntcr-lslaud
steam navigation.
The administration of justice has been con
ducted with fidelity and impartiality.
It is thought that the oublic convenience
will be promoted by changes In the time of
noiaing certain terms ot the Conrt. My At
torney General will submit to you the neces
sary bill for the accomplishment of that
measure.
I refer you to the report of the President
of the Board of Public Instruction for the
details aftlie work performed by that Board.
Liberal and intelligent assistance has been
granted, on application, to all those who de
vote their labors to the education of the peo
ple. New school bouses have been built
in many places the sexes have been separa
ted, and a system of impartiality, combined
with a healthy competition, has contributed
largely to the cause of intellectual improve
ment. Nobles and Representatives I rely up
on your enlightened patriotism and upon
your loyalty to our institutions. You will
co-operate with me in 6etking the welfare of
me nation, ana in providing ior Its wants,
WHACK.
I pray God Almighty, the Ruler of Kingdoms,
to relieve us in our troubles, to guide us in
prosperity, and to help me in maintaining in
violate the dignity of my Crown and our na
tional Independence and
We do now declare the Legislature of the
Kingdom opened.
At tho conclusion of the address, the
Commissioners retired, and after a brief
interval, returned to the Palace, accompa
nied by their escort, and the troops on
Cduty returned to quarters.
A numerous assemblage of spectators
were present at the opening, and the
streets were filled with people.
The Assembly adjourned without organ
izing, until Monday at noon.
The phrase, " the people " i3 a bandy
club, and if laid about one lustily, gets up
a ehow of virtue, if no farther conse
quences follow.
It matters not what is assaulted, or who
is to be belabored, only give him a good
whack with this club, and many will be
credulous enough to believe, that you have
done excellent service. It is our neigh
bor's favorite and only clnb, by which
with Quixotic courage, he assaults now
the Government printing offie, anon the
Aupuni, and last week gives a savage
blow at the steamer, and knocks that insti
tution endwise.
The stockholders, by the concussion,
suddenly have come to a dire sense of their
unhappy condition, in that they have in
vested their money to help the Govern
ment, and not the people, wherefore for
this sin give them a double whack.
Private enterprise is doubtless a good
thing; associated private enterprise, some
times a still better. Where a people are
numerous enough to get all the conve
niences they want, and competition and
capital enough,. to have all the accommo
dations of civilized life, at the quickest
time and the cheapest rale, then every
enterprise may safely be left to private
resources. AVhilever doe3 not pay under
such circumstances, bad better "slide,"
whether it be a steamer, railroad, or per
chance a decent newspaper. But private
enterprise has not been equal, to keeping
a steamer aSoat between our islands, and
the prospects are not tlattenngato those
who have been engaged in it, thus far.
Every time that the pinch has come on,
the owners have "been only too happy to
solicit help from the only quarter, available
in our small community.
Last year when the Company had run
the boat to their complete satisfaction, as
to the tendency of their affairs, she was
laid up, and it is our opinion, as one of the
owners, that but for certain arrangements,
made about that time, she would be laid
up still, and not all the wonders of the
volcano, though trebled, would have per
suaded her out on " an excursion trip "
for the accommodation of the public, and
no amount of" Government interference "
could have forced the company to put her
on such a trip either. It may have been
an inconvenience to some of the public,
not to have been able to avail themselves
of the oteamer last week, to go to Hawaii,
but has their support of the boat been
such, as to give them a claim upon the
Company, to neglect its own" interests.
when extraordinary emergency arises? The
agents had a chance to charter the boat,
on favorable terms, and more profitably
than if kept on her usual route for two
trips, and the people who own shares can
find no fault with any arrangement which
offsets the expense side of the accounts.
But what business had the Agents to
charter the boat, and thereby disappoint
f ome of the public ? "Wherefore, give them
a double- whack, as well as the charter
party that their obligations to the public
may be knocked into their field of vision ?
The Government chartered the boat for
a specific and laudable purpose, one which
every humanitarian must applaud, and pro
nouueo eminently proper in view of this
disastrous eruption on Hawaii. Reasona
ble care was taken, not to overload the
design of relief with unnecessary adjuncts.
Possibly if His Majesty had not concluded
to go, the supplies and a simple agent to
disburse them, would have been all that
was required. Nothing could have beeu
simpler to manage, nud the public could
then have been gratified with the sight of
the agent and supplies having the whole
steamer. But the club, in that case, would
have been in requisition more vigorously
than a3 it now stands.
The reports of the lava streams having
hemmed in many families, made it proba
ble, that the greatest relief would be, to
remove them to other districts, iid the
capacity of the steamer in snch case, was
absolutely necessary to be kept free.
The only way to have pleased Hercules
and avoid the whack of bis club, would
have been for the Government to have
given out. that as the steamer was charter
ed with public money, therefore, every
body is entitled to a free passage. In such
case, the public would have been eminent- I
ly served, the distressed people of Kau,
more eminently, peihaps ?

-1868.
According to Royal Proclamation, the Leg
islature was convened at the Court House,
on Saturday, April ISth, 1SG8.
On account of the absence of His Majesty

The Commission arrived at the Court House
at 12 M., under the escort of the military.

Deacon Mason.
The King's authority to the Commission
was read by Justice Davis, in Hawaiian, and
by R. 11. Slatilcy, Esq., Clerk, in the English
language.

of His Majestv, In Hawaiian, and Chief Jus
tice Allen, in English.

The members presented their credentials.
Hons. Kuihelaui, Koakanu, Pilipo, Lyons
and Judd, were appointed a committee on
credentials.
The Committee reported favorably on all

Davis then administered the oath to the Rep
resentatives. His Ex. S. II. Phillips moved to adopt,
temporarily, the rules of the preceding
sessions. Odrrled.
His Ex. F. W. Hutchison moved to elect
IL H. M. Kekuanaoa, President. Carried.
Hon. G. Rhodes was then nominated by H.
H. M. Kekuanaoa for Vlce-PresideuL, Elect
ed by ballot 29 to 3.
On motion, Hon. G. Rhodes took his seat
and said : I ish to express my thanks for
justice. There were many ways by which
the electors might be prevented from knowing
the right. He would not say the Hon. member
bad used unfair means to procure his elootion.
As for tie reniarls about the rights of the peo
ple, they needed no reply. The House was
composed of Xobles and Representatives,
whose Jegislative duties are the same. He
had waited until all the petitions were present
ed and then he felt it his duty to bring the
. resolution forward.
Hon. Mr. Lyons said the question was not
on the legality of the election in South Kona,
but the manner of bringing it before the As
sembly, with and the point was who had a right
to dispute the election. He admitted that the
second estate had a right to consider the au
thority by which those who claim to represent
the third estate appear here. Seventy days
had elapsed siace the election, and if the elect
ors proposed to do anything, their petition
should have been here before now. He shoald
oppose the resolution.
Mr. Hitchcock agreed in some things with
the member from Kohala, but not entirely.
Hon. Mr. Jones wished to state that at the
election, or iince.no unfair measures had been
used by him. There was nothing he admired
so much as a full carrying out of the laws of
the laud. People from South Kona said that
no effort had been made to get up a petition.
If he thought that many of the electors in
South Kona objected to his sitting, be would
resign at once. By reference to his journal
it appcirs that early in February, 1S65, he
had set out to couie to these island, lie was
delayed by sickness and other impediments
from reaching here until the following year.
As far u the law of domicila is concerned, he
had fulilled all its requirements. By the law,
a man las a domicile in some place, and when
he leaves a place his domicile is in the place to
which ke intends going.

Wharf at Hilo. The landing of passen
gers and goods at the Harbor of Hilo has been
facilitated by the building of a short wharf
from the rocky point at the west end of the
beach. It has been made by the enterprise
of Mr. Coney and Mr. Hitchcock, and has
proved snch a convenience that the Hilo peo
ple are wishing to sec it extended, or another
one built at the usual landing place. Land
ing on the open beach, especially in rough
weather, is uncomfortable for passengers, and
damaging to goods, so that a wharf is a most
desirable improvement upon the present way
of getting ashore. The wharf just built is
well iluibered and fastened, and carries six
feet of water. ' Its strength was tested by the
great, earthquake wave of Thursday, and by
a loaded scow washing upon It, and it proved
equal to the strain. Wharfage, hereafter, will
be one of the charges on schooners running
to Hilo. We hear that an application will be
made to the Government for assistance to
still further improve the landing facilities at
Hilo, so that either a good boat or schooner
wharf may be placed on the beach. The
wharfage will amount to enough at least to
pay interest on the Investment and repairs.

D. Kaukcha, and Hon. G. W. Pilipo.
Hon. Mr. Keawehunahala moved that the
credentials of Mr. Mahelona be referred to the
Committee on Judiciary. Passed.
Hon. Mr. Bishop moved, that as the eligi
bility of the member from South Kona was a
matter of doubt, that his right to sit be re
ferred to the Judiciary Committee.
Hon. Mr. Jones said the law respecting
elections in this country was clear and spe
cific. The objection to an election must be
made by a petition of SO voters. The objec
tion should not come from the Rubles, but tho
people. Ho thought the Nobles would he fair;
did not think they would usurp a right belong
ing to the electors. Mr. Jones read the law,
and said it was full and complete, and he !
bad the highest authority in the Kingdom to
to sustain nun mi Jiajesty ami the
Attorney General. He here read tbe words
of tbe King, daring tbo Convention of 1864,
relating to the delegate from North Kona,
" that the members had no right to do away
with the choice of tbe people." He thought
that if this election was annulled by this As
sembly, the door would be opened for disturb
ance and trouble. He said he was elected by
a full majority and had bis certificate in full
form, and he was informed that there would
be no adverse petition. Then what right had
any member to bring in a resolution against
him. He had had many years of legislative
experience, and never before had known such
a method of proceeding. The Assembly ought
to proceed according to law. and right. Ac
cording to tbe law cf domicile he was elected.
He left a foreign land more than three years
ago with the cxprett intention of coming here,
and here he had resided erer since. The Hon.
orablc member quoted authorities proving that
an intention to reside in, and starting for, a
place was equivalent to a domicile. He
thought that tbe resolution presented was cal
culated to destroy the independence' of this
and ever other people. He was the legal
choice of South Kona, and did not Anow what
right any one had to bring in snch a resolu
tion. Ho closed by bringing in a motion to
indefinitely postpone the resolution.
Hon. Mr. Bishop said that he did not bring
in this resolution on account of any personal
feeling but from a sense of duty.
If any one had a right under the constitu
tion to a seat in the Assembly, he wonld be
the last person to oppose. The records of a
convention are not onr authority, but the con
stitution, which is the paramount law. Art.
61 declares the qualification for holding teats.
One qualification is, that a representative must
hare been domiciled in the country three years,
the last of which must be the one immediately
preceding the election.
The Honorable member had arrived here
about the 6th of March, 1666.
The Assembly is the judge of who hare the
right to scats. True there had been no peti
tion the people of S. Kona ticrhaps thought
that the records of the convention was law, or
else that they relied on the Assembly to do
changed, and thus be bad fullfiled the spirit
of the law. He asxed if the rtiird of his
journal is not evidence enough to satisfy the
Assembly. To avoid waste of time be bad
moved to indefinitely postpone. Again tbe
Convention of lc-64 would not act on tn
election of Kamaio irom North Kona, because
that no petition was presented. And th
this action was in accordance with the wishes
of His Majesty. Ua wished that the mem
bers would vote aye to uphold the laws of the
land.
Hon. Mr. Koakanu said that he was in
favor of the resolution of Hon. ivr. Bishop.
He does not think a man's intention makes
any difference. He must be in tbe country
three years before the election.
Hon. D. Kalakaua favored the resolution
The Nobles have as much right to examine
the credentials of members as the Represen
tatives.
His Ex. Mr. Phillips said that it was im
portant to understand just what motion was
before the House. He liail reason to think
that there was a doubt concerning the right
of the member from South Kona; bethought
it should be referred to Committee for inquiry.
Others here would not shrink lrom having
their right to sit contested, then why should
the member from South Kona object ; he res
pectfully submitted that it was right to ex
amine tbe elegibiiity of the member. The
only, way is to refer it to a committee, for.by
this means only can we arrive at the truth.
The Judiciary Committee is appointed for this
very purpose, then why not refer it to them
instead of taking up the time of the Assembly?
If the gentleman can satisfy the Committee of
his right, he holds his seat by the strongest
tenure. The honorable member admits that
when a petition is presented, it will be the
duty of the Assembly to examine it. The law
does not say that that is the only way to ar
rive at the rights concerning membership. The
Assembly, to get at tbe facts, must make au
inquiry, and a committee is the only way to
do this. Suppose that the member bribes the
whole district, and 50 honest men are not left
to make a petition, then are we shut off from
the right to examine tbe facts and rights of a
member? It is conceded by all that tbe As
sembly is its own judge of who shall be mem
bers. If, then, we have the right, why shall
we not investigator
The motion before tbe House was to inde
finitely postpone. He hoped that the members
would vote against it, and then take up Hon
Mr. iiisbop's motion.
. Hon. John Ii thought that if the proceed.
ings were courteously carried on that all would
be well, xne other petitions bad been referred
to tbe Committee, and he tuougnt this on
also should be. He had a personal interest in
these things. He was a member from Kohala
in 1655. A committee of the bouse wero en
gaged three days discussing eligibility, as h
was a magistrate, and it was argued that h
bad no right to sit. It was decided that b
was not ineligible. He thought that it was fur
the Assembly to decide.
Hon. Mr. Jcnes said,, in answer to the At
torney General, that he did not shrink from
investigation. He was ready to meet tneques
tion in a constitutional way. The law pre.
scribes a method in all things, and will tho
Attorney General go beyond tbe law ? The
Assembly should be their own judge of the
law end tbc.method of executing it. ile said
further, that it was an impossibility that
all tbe electors of a district should be bribed.
The use of such argument show that tbe Attor.
ncy General is driven to cite extreme cases,
He did not wish to use his valuable time or
that of the Assembly in discussing an illegal
question.
The indefinite postponement having been
lost, tbe resolution was put and passed.
Hon. Mr. Hitchcock moved that the Com
mittee of Accounts be instructed to place on
the desk of each member 2 copies each of tbe
Oaielle and Adcerli'ter and of the native
papers, passed.
Hon. Mr. Keawehunahala moved to adjourn
to 12 31., ednesday. Lost.
His Ex. Dr. Hutchison amended to 11 A.
M., passed.

On the other hand, we have in a Bristol
paper an. account of a strike In a gentleman's
lamily in the west of England, uf all his ser
vants, thirty In number, not for higher wages,
but for better food. These poor creatures
were starving on five meals a day. Tbey had
eggs and bacon, toast, bread, butter, tea aud
coffee fur breakfast; bread, cheese and ale
for lunch; but joints of beef and mutton and
pastry for dinner; toast, bread and butter for
tea; meal, bread and cheese and ale for supper.
Th demand of the deputation was for beef
steaks and mutton-chops for breakfast- As
the gentleman was expecting distinguished
Tlsltors.and did not know where to get other
servants in season, their demand was com
plied with. A vast army of flunkies is fed in
this fashion, while English laborer and their
families are starving on eight or ten shillings
a week, and great numbers of the Irish ire
subsisting on potatoes and water.

since our last issue: the Baltic G. Hatt, 23
days, with dates to the 24th, and the CeUttia,
25 days, with dates to the 23&', nit
The news Is unimportant and meager. A
shock of earthquake occurred In San Fran
cisco on tbe forenoon of tbe 24th, severe
enough to alarm the population, and to cause
a general stampede out of doors.
The winter rains have been prolonged and
copious. Tbe Alia, of the 23d, says: "We
are being visited by another long and heavy
rain, somewhat unseasonable and unwel
come. In the East this storm, occurring
there on the 19tb, 20th and 21st, is reported
to have exceeded in duration and severity ail
that have gone before it. The streets or the
principal Atlantic cities are blocked vlth
snow, navigation suspended, and many acci
dents and disasters are reported to have oc
curred." Tbe impeachment trial of tbe President Is
progressing. We have only one day's pro
ceedings. The President replied, by counsel,
to each specification. His friends made a
motion for more time, SO days, which is not
reported to have been granted. The House
Managers signified their readiness to proceed.
ClIICAOO, March 2i A JirpuMtcan special
savs irreat interest Is felt over the proceed
ings in tbe impeachment trial to-morrow. It
Is believed that the President's counsel will
ask for further delay, which will not be
granted. The House managers will have an
annlicatlun readv to be presented Tuesday,
and so proceed to trial on Wednesday. The
impression gains ground that, after using all
dilator' measures possible, when the Senate
reluses to grant further delay, the President
will tender his resignation, claiming that be
can not have a fair I rial.
Mr. Boutwell, from the Impeachment man
agers, reported a resolution, which passed,
that on days when the Senate shall sit for the
trial of the President, the House, us In Com
mittee of the Whole, will attend with the
managers at tbe bar or t lie senate.
