The comucnication eigned "Caustic" is most respectfully declined, not fur any fault in the literary style, but because it contains a number of personalities. We invite and shall gladly insert communications on any subject of public interest, when couched in the language of propriety, and devoid of injuriously personal or slanderous allueions. liut the publication of such an article as that of" Caustic," while it would please and interest the lovers of slander and pander to a depraved appetite for personality, could only result in disgusting all right-minded readers.

Sometimes in the course of Legislation, in spite of the vigilance exercised, very grave and omissions occur. Quite unintentionally, the Legislature which adjourned the other day Las committed one of these blunders, by which the country is left without any divorce law. Since 1870, it has been, quite apparent that the Act relating to Divorce," passed in that year, was unsuited to our people, and so during the late session an Act was introduced by some one of the Representatives To repeal chapter XVI of the laws of 1870, being An Act relating to divorce, and to re-enact An Act to permit divorced persona to marry again." The law of 1870 repealed Sections 1323, 1324 and 132-5 of the Civil Code, together with all Acta and parts of Acts authorizing divorce causes to be heard at Chambers;" and the intention of the introducer of the Act of 1874 was doubtless to re-enact those provisions of law. This was not however done, and while divorced persons may avail themselves of the privilege to marry again, married persona wishing for a divorce must perforce continue to wear their chains until 187G. Ws o.ivs heard the remark, within the past few days, that if the Hawaiian Government, i.

the Ministry, really intended to make an effort for a Treaty of Reciprocity with the United States, the sooner they addressed themselves to the work the better. And there was no doubt a good deal of reason for the remark. But, on the other band, we can easily understand why a Ministry, constituted like the present, is not in a condition to act, on this or any, other measure of great national importance. The enabling act passed by the Legislature over a month ago, to facilitate the negotiation of a Treaty or Treaties of Reciprocity is likely to prove so much wasted ammunition, without a Ministry possessed of the energy, and we may add, the faith and the will to maie a move towards carrying it outLet us emphasize the word faitii for if a Hawaiian Minister declared his intention of waiting until the proposal to make each a Treaty comes to us from the United States, we can hare no faith in his zeal or ability in the matter. In this business, bo vital to the interests of the whole country, we want the right men in the right places, who will labor for the desired end, with their whole hearts in the work, and not damn with faint praise." We want men who will go to the Representatives of the people of the United States, boldly, honestly and open-heartedly, as coming from the Representatives of the people of the Hawaiian Islands, leaving no room for the injurious suspi cion that the measure partakes of a speculative character." That, as we remember, was the idea obtained bv certain American Senators on the last occasion when we were eueing for a Treaty, and the main cause of oar failure then was because we were "wounded in our own house." This journal, in which we now write, did unquestionably more by its slanders and misrepresentations to defeat Reciprocity in 18C3, than anything or anybody else.

It was then owned and conducted by the present editor of the Gazette, and it was unfortunately and ignorantly quoted as authority on the floor of Congress on matters pertaining to these Islands. The principal slander tl us quoted and believed, was to the effect that the labor system on our plantations was slavery in disguise; that the sugar planters were slave-owners and slave-drivers, and one of its mischievous misrepresentations (calculated to alarm, and which did alarm people from the Southern States) was in largely overstating the sugar producing capacities of these Inlands. In this particular, were the actual facts placed before Congress it would be apparent that the fears of our injuriously competing with their own sugar growers are groundless. Lands continuously planted with cane eventually rctrogrado in productiveness, as our own experience has shown, and our entire area of arable land is quite inconsiderable. Were we to cultivate to sugar every acre of land on these Islands capable of producing the article, and the entire crop were allowed to enter the ports of the Pacific States free of duty, such importation could in no degree compete in the market with the sugar product of any of the Southern States.

The market for sugars in the Great Republic is manifestly so immense, that it is folly to suppose that the highest possible degree of production ever to be reached by the Hawaiian Islands can in the least affect it. But Reciprocity, while it cannot in any event injure American producers, will be an incalculable boon to Hawaii, politically as well as materially. Our action or inaction during the next three months, will demonstrate whether or not we are worthy of this boon. When the American Congress reassembles in December, there is no doubt that Canadian Reciprocity will be accomplished. The question of negotiating a Treaty of Reciprocity between the United States Mexico is being discussed in the capital city of the latter Republic, is favorably sjoken of by leading journals in the States, and may be brought about in December.

This then, will be Hawaii's opportunity. Let her be properly represented at Washington, and let her representatives there be properly sustained at home, and success must crown our efforts. "A the cf tlis law wed Itforc the LisUture tigci ly almost every f.reifrn merchant and trader; jet, for sou.e inexplicable it parsed an his Lcecsie a law cf the land. Sj sayt; the when ticking of the uiis- chivoue Peddling Licence Act. There i nothing i whatever inexjlicaLIe about its passage, and its Laving become a law, 6eeing that it was warmly supported by the Ministers of the Interior and Finance.

If we have not jet found the way to increase oar population and give an impetus to our national prosperity and growth, like out Anglo-Saxon neigh-bora around us, it is chicSy because we have not jet secured the right men to guide the ship of State, possessed of sufScieot originality to devise, and force of character to execute whatever policy may be deemed the best to adopt. It may seem strange, but it is nevertheless true, that the above very sound remark occurs in the Hawaiian Gazette of this week. Is it a glimmer of returning sanity? The STEAM5HIP compas known ns the Australian and American, new running the line between Sydney and San Francisco, 'appears to be just at present in a transition state, so far as the ownership and agency in Sydney is concerned, while there is no chaDge in the London ownership. Mr. 11.

II. Hall, who has been the Managing Director at the Sydney end of the goes out, and Messrs. Gilchrist, Watt represented as being a first-class house, will assume the agency there. The Marreor, which arrived from San Francisco on Wednesday evening and sailed for Sydney yesterday morning, came down on the ship owners' account, as did the Tartar, on the 5th instant. The changes in management are productive of annoyance to island shippers, as prepayment of freight in San Francisco was demanded by the Macyrtgor but it is to be hoped that the line will erelong become satisfactorily and finally settled.

That it will eventually become a permanency, is a foregone conclusion, for under more favorable auspices than in the past, with new boats and good management, the line must prove a profitable one to all concerned. The bather unvarnished statement published by us of the facts connected with tbe tragical cutting and stabbing affray of some two weeks since, whereby one man received wound! that were almost mortal, has ecrved our purpose in directing public attention to the Best of iniquity in which the affair took place. In the heart of the city, adjoining a Church under the very droppings of the sanctuary," illustrating the verse 44 Whererer God erects a house of prayer, The deril's sure to hare a chapel there Are permitted to exist a number of notorious i houses of assignation and prostitution, for tha of seamen. The particular one in this case to which attention has been drawn, is kept by a white man, an illicit beer-seller, acting as procurer of native women for carrying on an infamous calling decoying drunken men into their dens. Here nightly the passer-by on the street will have his ears saluted with the vilest lewdness and profanity from young half-grown native girls, and Bcenes are enacted unchecked and unchallenged which are a grave reflection on the community which tolerates them.

Who are the landlords of these habitations? They cannot be ignorant of tbe purpose to which these houses are devoted, any more than are the police. We trust, now that attention lias been so pointedly directed to this Berctania-street Alsatia, that an effort will be made by the authorities to cleanse it of its miasma of sin. Tiie Maoris, as the aborigines of New Zealand are called, and this is the term they themselves use to designate their race, very much resemble our native Hawaiians in many of their characteristics, and they may unquestionably be regarded as originally of the came race. This is made apparent more especially in a comparison of the spoken lan guage of the two peoples, which have striking similarities; and tbe physical und mental differences are only such as may readily be accounted for by the difference in climate, and the lapse of time how great can only be surmised since the separation of these two branches of one tribe The total Maori population of New Zealand is now stated at some 4G.000 only by our last cen cus the native Hawaiians exceeded this figure by a few thousands. Both the aboriginal New Zca landers and the Hawaiians were brought under the influence of Christian Missions at nearly the tame period, somo fifty years ngo.

To-day, the British colonists assert (vide the Otago Witness) that the Christianity of the Maori is "only a veneer," and there are not wanting those among us who assert the same of the Hawaiian. But without pausing to discuss this point, we may observe that the many similarities so perceptible in the Maoris and our own aborigines, cannot fail to invest with a peculiar interest everything that concerns the former; more particularly if we may perchance discern in them any symptoms of awak ening Tigor in the race, or of that spirit of na tional recuperation which we are so desirous of recognizing and encouraging among the latter. It has been the fashion of late years, in New Zealand, as well as here, to prophesy that comparatively a few years more will see the last of the original owners of the soil the Maoris that they are so rapidly passing away by a combination of causes, that nothing can prevent their extinction. Now, however, we note a change in the views of the colonists in this respect. The following, from a late number of the Otago IVtV-ness, will be read with interest Only those who are thoroughly acquainted with Maoridom can have an accurate idea of the change that ia insensibly stealing over our aboriginal people.

There is scarcely, it may be affirmed with safety, in the whole of the Northern Island, a Native, however remote from contact with Europeans may be his abode, or the length of time he has voluntarily isolated himself from having any connection with tbe dominant race, that either thinks, feels, or would act at the present period as he would have done at the outbreak of tbe Waitara war. He appears almost a man of another generation. He has learned many lessons since and, wise man as he is, has commenced putting them into practice. Of course the process of elimination is going on, and tbe weak succumb to tbe vices of European introduction but in almost every town and village in the North will be round Natives living among their white fellow subjects, who are enabled to hold their own in the contest for life often in commercial undertakings and can judge of the events of tbe present, and how they will affect their future interests, with considerable shrewdness. Their children speak tbe English language well, through the Tress they become versed in the history of our doings in many parts cf our Empire, and the knowledge the children thus acquire is filtrated, perhaps without design, into the minds of their parents.

Their views expand with their yers, they neglect no opportunity of acquiring information, and have the benefit of some of the best heads the North Island possesses to give them counsel, on which, as a rule. they rely. Tbe Southern Cross some twelve months ago had an article on this subject, headed Shirts and Civilization," the gist of which was that clothing and its accessories would assimilate the Maori to our habits of thought and conduct but war and confiscation have done more to wean him from his past barbarism than all the teaching of Missionaries, or the possession of all that he has acquired from his intercourse with Europeans. That his Christianity was only a veneer the last war told U9 but the necessity he feels of assimilating himself to our habits arises from the conviction that snch a course of conduct is necessary, not only to retain his influence, but his actual existence. He smiles with wonder and derijicn at the folly, as he terms it, of his fathers in bartering their privileges for a mess of pottage, laughs at these who at intervals follow their example, and determines that, if poor himself, his children shall be affluent.

There is a vain dream entertained by many that tie present century will see the last cf Maoridom that its members are fast passing away that Native lands can, and will, be bought for hatchets and muskets and that the men we now have to deal with are the same credulous, uncultivated savages with whom Wakefield negotiated, or over whom Te Rauparaha bell domination. The beads of the tribes, in many instances, instead of begging for tobacco and blankets, have a balance at their bankers wear well-made garments instead of rude fiax mats boild themselves houses after European fashion instead of dwelling in whares of tol toi indulge in good living lestead of subsisting on fern root, fish, and snch other comestibles; look with contempt on poor whites; and are determined to educate their children to fill the position in society to which they will have a right, they consider, in virtue of their possessions, to aspire. The meetings that have been held this winter, and are still taking place, show this phase of transition very clearly. To the bulk of Europeans these runanges would appear to be only pretexts for feasting and idle talk; but others know that they have a wider and deeper significance. Tbe outside talk is for the whites and the people generally.

The inner midnight caucus, where the few only of rank and wisdom are present, is where the business for which the meeting is called is transacted, and the policy of the fut are -determined on. When the meeting is over, and the people return' to their homes, they become inoculated with the new line of policy marked out, and a new phase of feeling and conduct becomes manifest without any apparent adequate cause. For many years we have been impressing on the Maori mind that Maoris are British subjects. They have, it appears, come to the conclusion to accept the dictum, and we have now to accept the consequences. If such be the case, they maintain they have a right to equal representation, according to their numbers, with Europeans.

The fiat has gone forth, Register, register your votes; if we cannot get more Maoris in the House, we will get a Pakeha-Maori or two There is little that can be said on the subject if they stand on their legal rights. What steps they propose taking to further this object have not yet transpired, bat that it will meet the approval of the Native Minister is probable from his promising Taiaroa last session, to call a Maori from the Middle Island to the Upper House. As a step towards this object Henare Matua is stumping Maori land to start a Maori and English newspaper to represent their interests and educate their people in opposition to the wretched 'Waka Maori' that now circulates among tnem When Mr. Sheehan told the House last session that the Maori language and the Maori people would en dure for more than one generation, many of his hearers smiled contemptuously; but this political ac tivity, manifesting so much sagacity and such a rapid state of transition, renders certain the assertion, and induces us to exclaim: What manner of men can these Maori politicians be, and what will be the nlti mate of their race A correspondent on another island writes as follows The malignant tone of the Gazette correspondent signing himself Ubiq," goes to show that sometimes after the lion-skin has been pulled on, tbe real animal beneath, not satisfied with the auricular display made, lifts up his voice, and furthermore emphasizes the bray with a kick. Let those who ride him beware; he'll throw them.

Speaking of writers, reminds me of a late adverse criticism in tbe Uazette, on a Honolulu letter to tbe Alia. The following week the Gazelle contains a letter full of flings at the personal character of the actual and supposed editorial staff of the Advertiser; a letter which so far pleases the editor of the Gazette as to induce him to ask that any items of purely personal matter concerning tbe Advertiser people may be furnished him. Not that he wants to publish it, oh, no he merely wants to gratify a morbid appetite for scandal that is stronger than all the teachings of Christianity in bis case. iNow both tbe letters referred to are signed Ubiq." The first one to the Alta, does not deal in personalities, and is called "twaddle," by the Gazelle. The second but I have already hinted at its character, and shown how it was received by the paper that published it.

The twaddle of the Alta letter was followed by a carrying out, in the arrest of five natives, charged with treason, of the policy advocated in the letter in question. The only two- legged creature in this community who has smacked his lips over the letter of Ubiq in the Gazette, is the editor of that sheet; and he, like the horse leech's daughter, cries for more." Both papers speak editorially of the late Legislature. It should be borne in mind by all, that in less than two years. both of those editorials will Toe quoted from." A CARD. To the kind friends who have assisted me ia my sickness, I wish to return my most fateful thank, a ad subscribe myself with deep feelings of gratitude.
