CHARLES L. CARTEK EN OPEN LETTER TO SECRETARY GRESHAM.

That ponderous • stomached but light brained scion of the Carter incubus on the Hawaiian State whose fatuous vanity i adorned itself with a football or baseball suit as a disgaise on the I 17th of Jannury in order to show off the manly i proportions of the adip»>ae «oftv j whoge name apeeaea at the head j of this article, and carri»*d the now i celebrated orders of J. L. Slevens ! of Kennehee to Captain Wiltse and Lieutenant Voung, before the proelamalion was read or the Pnv visionp.l <TOVernment's eighteen had arrived at the Government Buiiding, and who, for his dead father’s money,and hisown s**rvices as conrier, was at the Ust moment elioeen as fifth Commissioner to Washington, now comes out and qpntradicts Blount and Greshani. This fat boy of the mission:»ries whose ehallow, but pecuniarily acquisitive brain-box eonee ved the idea of flooding the plantations with negro labor deigns to pf.ragraph Gresham : e letter, and to put his statements out in contradiction, Charles L. Carter has epoken ! Hie word eelUee it!I Gresham. Blouut. Clcveland and the reet, may go hide their diminished heads!!! They are wrong. Carter hae said so aud who in this nuiverse ean gainsay it. As in tbe case of Herod of old “It is the voice of a God.” Lct us hopo that the same result will not happen to Carter’s bowels as finished that Jewish ruler of the first century A. D. Tet such is our scepticism of his alleged facts and trutbfulness that we are impelled to ex.amine a few of bis statements and see wbat basis he has for them, and how far he has departed from that early Sunday School training whieh he is supposed to have imbibed in his recently eallow and tender infancy; whieh he apparently has outgrown so far as to deliberately. plaee himself on record as a falsifier and deliberate falsehood teller of the first magnitude. One reads as follows from the pen of Carter in the beginning of this letter, after having read Thurston’s interviews in the late American papers- “I regret that up to the time of our latest advices mv distinguished colieague the Chairman of the special Commission Mr. Thurston has been constrained _by his present position as the represeutative of this Governmeut near your own from making any public declarations. This fact...” i What an opinion one gets of the amouni of trutbfulness to be | expected in a statement whieh begins by stating sQch a deliberate lie as that. Can any truth be foucd in a statement tbe first i brick in wbose structure is snch a palpahle and unmistakeable j fraud. Time and space fail us owing to tbe otber important eveuts of the day from criticising iu <detail bis other statements, merely { noticing that his narration of events in the Throne lioom on the 14th Iheopinm and lottcry bills i the actionoftheQueeir9Cabinfctthe sell-aopointmeat of Tbirteen members of a Cummittee of Safety by themselve& and calling themselves j reprfcsehtatiye the charging

that the Queen plied members of th« Legi*lature with liquor, and : *ent ihem l>> v>te in the House while drunfc, tbe cbaractert2atioD of everv members of tbe Committe* «>f Safety as of “nndoubted integrii_v' T i *‘aad fully mindlui of ihe r:ghu of the native aborigines.” the statement8 that Minieter Stevens grauted the us** of the Unit«d Sh»tes forces to the Queea'8 Cabinet, and at their reque8t, and not to ihe so-ca 1 1 e d Committee l of Safety, and the reasons why Arion Hall op|H>site the Palaee and Government Bnilding was | chosen as tbe rendeKvous of the U.S. forces. and not the Annon’, iu a distant part of the town not overaweing tbe Qneen and her foroes, have the same impress of as mueh truth as lies in the first statement, as to Thurston's not saying anvthing —and no more. Carter, who aspired to be Attorney General in several of the varions cabinets proposed during the late Legislntnre, and felt very bad when W. O. 8raith (equally learned iu tbe 1 iw) was chosen bv the Provisional Councils, until he got the sop of men bership in the special commi. a sion to Washington; and still, if refK>rt ean be tru?ted would knife W. O., aud turn the haft around onee he had tue blade in him, has shown him»elfof equal raental and moral calibre with that distinguished proft*3Sor oflaw attamment9.
