IHoji. Pail Nkcma»t ha& in hi» open letter to lir. Sanford B. Dole. bit the nail on ita beed. He htc ae it were thrown »dyuamite bomb into the P. G. eamp whieh will have a ereat deal more effect than a11 the bombe whieh Walker & Co. did not throw. and for whieh they were arre*ted. The effect on the in«urgents of Mr.Neurnann's letter, cannot be better described ihan by the expre*sion of the official editor of the P. G., who, in his comments oomplaine over that “lemhle tired feeling’’ whieh haa seized them bv p«rusing Neuman’a missile. And wbat ie it that Neumann demand« of Dole? Simply that the queetion of Hawaii’e future be submitted to the popular vote,and th»t a true government of the people,by ihe {leople and for the people be establiehed. The failure of ihe P. G. lo follow Neumann’s sugge»tion will further emphasire in the eyes of the world, that the pre»ent t«mporary government ie simply an oligarchy ; yes, a tyraony established through the f< >rces of the II. S. legal representative and in the name of the United Statea. That sucb agovcrnment cannot be recognired either by the Hawaiian people or by the great oountry whose name haa heen misused in the establishment of it, Mr Neuuoann poinia out to Mr. Dole in a clear and pointed manner Whatever effect Mr. Neumann’a lelter will have on the provi»ional governroent time will show, but that it wi[l open the eyea of the Aroerican people to tbe true situation in Hawaii, we ean consider a sure tbing and the consequence willl be that whatever sympathy certain partie» may have given to the all»»ged Ameneane in Hawaii who elaim to struggle for a free and popular governmenl their refu»al to subaiit to a plebiscite will emphatically do away with all »yropatby and only leave a feeling of »urpri»e and amazement over : the gigantic gall and unlimited eheek with whieh a most unheard of fraud has been atteropted to be > perpetrated on the American people ! aud the U. S. Goverument. — The Adverti»er man in hls eommenta on the letter takee exception to Mr. Neumann u»ing tbe word “we” when »{ieaking on bebalf of the Uawaiian people, In every >entiment be utter» in that letter, Paul Neumann repre»enta the Hawaiian people and is tbeir apokeaman. Tbe Hawaiian» hav« not beretofore agitat«d very »trongly for a plebiscite simply heeauee tbey knew tbe utter hopeleaanea» of »uch a demand, but lbal tbey bave deaired eueh a »tep to be iaken »nd that tbey bave been fully prepared to »how th*ir »trengtb at »ny time a vote tboold h»ve beao laken eitber througb tbe United 6toto» or through tbe P.

We have iu furmer time« poioted s out the fallacy of all the fiue priu- • eiplea aud tbe magnificeut sentiments whieh heretnfore have r emanated from tbe annexationists 3 and the revolutioni>ta who try to impre»s on tbe worid that lbe 1 ' revolution here was an outbreak of ■ true but down trodden American ' patriots, that Hawaii tbrough ; j traditioo and tbrough commerce ‘ and situation be!ftnged to the ■ United States. and that that great republic was in duty bound to em- ; brace the petitioner for member- ■ ehip in tbe Union, and fold us (again«>t our wili) to its breast. The followiug sentences from a Honolulu correspondent in the San Francisco Call, kritten by a man whose position of edit >r of the government organ makes him fully convereant with the seutiments of the administration, and makeahim \vrite with authority,lurther prove» the hypocrisy and double-facedues8 jof tbe government, and now fal»e and lying a11 their assertions and all their bo!stered up elaim» to be considered Amenean» have been and etill are. Theae “Ameneau»” who iutend to offer this country to England are really a curiosity. l'hey are a double cnrio»ity. Fir»t ou account of their mental calibre whieh would make them worthy of a plaee in the World’» Fair Kxbibition, heeauee tbey ean believe that Great Britain would negotiate with a lot of alleged Americans whom the United States have turned away from the door of tbat republie, because they were pretender» whu faisely offered wbat waa not | theira. and secondly, b> eauee they i ean be!ieve that the United States would tolerate the interference in i Hawaii by any otber country or tbat they would ailow the P. G. to 1 pl»y any role whatever, or heeome a factor in the future deetiny of Hawaii nei. Tbat ihe diaeaae of »welling ia the head» of the Hawaiian revolutioniata haa not abated ean aleo be aeen by their acribbler’a remarka whieh read as foHows; “I bave just he)d an important iuterview with high official» oonnected with th« government on what oonlaa tba Provisiooai Government will pursu« in eaae the United Statoa refuses lo take favorable aelion regarding anoexaUon.

Th« apeeial t Arixona detective M«rmont, recenl- - ; ly retum«d ffom hia interriew wilh Koolau (we hope he h«s w«shed 0 his har.ds) shou!d be left to watcb - the royalist» while hi» nine eoi1 leagues take upon tbemselvea the i ta»k of prutecting the property of - tbe people. The blood and thunder reporta for whieh the A.-G-j and lbe M«r»hal every morning 1 hanker ean b« furni»h«d by M«r1 mont «lone. Ri« fulroioated im- - agination and conden»ed veracitv r ; will be sufficient for him to furni«h . a whole dime novel every morning, I and eo enahle the learned Smith to - keep up his belief that he is sleep- - ing on a volcano, and tbat he is i daily developing more and more ! intoafull-fledged heroashealreadv r for some time haek, has blos»omed i '• out as a full-fiedg«d firet-class (alf though somewbat rheumatic) »aint. i Mr. Marmont i» a whole detective i Burean in himself, eo we earne«tlv ! pray tbe powere that be to devote > the halanee of the force to c«tcbiog t some of the prowlere and vagrants • who now turn out as burglare «nd • criminais generally. ! The tcwn is «t present infested with vtgrants who drifted to this heaeh when tbey heard about the revolution. whofora while enjoyed the government pap (slightly poisoned) io the army and then got drunk and were turned adrift. They have no mean» even if they 1 have any inelinaliona to return to 1 the elime» whenee tbey sprangaud they have no visible meane of ex- j j istencc. Knowing «a they do the inwardness of our authorit:ee from their short stay in their midst they j are fully conver»ant with the inability and iucapacity of theee authorities to eope succe8afully with any disturbera of law and order «nd remembering thefacility with whieh «nybody who has friend» among the soldiere eaeapee from the prison-gang—if ever by ehanee landed tbere—they heeome bo!d and reckleea «nd they go to work burglari»ing the houae» in thc suburbs. We ahould therefore re»pectfuliy declare war against the v«grant» now in town. Thoee who are employed in the army have at preeent ceaeed to be vagranto and he needn’t bother about them, but the large contingent of Iwo or three months reaidenta bere * who have no work and ean find no worX ahould be looked after and secured. The intimate penonal knowledge whieh the detective foroe under Oolonel Marmont naturally mu»t have with Iheee other vagranto woaid greatly facilitate the extermination of them—if the ‘*h«wkeyee” are willing to use auoh “koowledge.” That we eannot quietly aliowed houaee to be burglarixed or (wemiaee entered by alotofthug» and huogry desperadoee la oertain, aod if Mr. Hitchoook wiahea to kaep up hia reput«tion as a abrewd aod olever polieeoffio«r be afaould aet to work at onee aod elear th« towft of ihe dangerooa etomeot nowatlarge.
