Political Independence.
The Macon Telegraph proposes that
in the future the South nominate no
presidential electors pledged to vote
for any of the candidates nominated by
the varions parties of the country.
The Telegraph thinks that as the South
furnishes the bulk of the votes of the
Democratic party, it should have some
voice in the affairs of the party, such as
furnighing the candidate and dictating
the platform. and if these rights can
not be obtained, the electors repre
senting the southern states should cast
their ballots for the candidates of that
party which pledges itself to act most
favorably towards this section.
1f this plan could be successfully ex
ecuted it would probably be a wise
move for the South, but it is to be feared
that there are obstacles in the way
which would render its operation im
possible. It would cast responsibili
ties upon the electors which it would
be unwise to entrust with any small
body of representatives, no matter how
honorable or ahle they might be. They
would have the right to determine, in
case two propositions were made to
them, which one would prove most ad
vantageous to the South and all vote
accordingly ;or each individual might
select for his vote the candidaté which
he might think would best fuifill the
required conditions. In either case the
majority of the people, if informed of
the proposition, might think very dif
ferently from the electors as to what
would constitute the best interests of
the South. The opportunity, too, in
such cases for log-rolling, fraud, bribery
and tlielike would be very great. Every
presidential election would cause in
every state the scenes witnessed in
gome legislatures, attendant upon the
election of a United States senator.

Atlanta’s Station.
The Atlanta papers seem to have
abandoned the idea of inducing the
state to build a union passenger station
in that eity upon land owned by the
state. A recent number of the Journal
had a suggestion for the building, in
Atlanta, of a twentieth century station
by the railroads and the city.
No matter how it gets it, Atlanta
needs a new station and it is to be hoped
that the present plans will not mis
carry. I cannot help thinking, how
ever, that it was the erroneous law
opinion that made the appropriation
for the station constitutional, when it
did not provide that the amount used
for that purpose was to be returned to
the bonded debt fund, was largely re
gponsible for the defeat of the measure
by the legislature. It gave the oppo
nents of the bill all the opportunity

The Boers Again,
After a period of great reveraes which
indicated the certain, eomplete and
prompt overthrow of the Boer cause
before the red-coated hosts of Britain,
the hardy burghers, collecting their
scattered forces (or at least tle few
that have not fallen in the hands
of the enemy). have again become
quite active in their offensive opera
tions against the British. They have
invaded Cape Colony, whigh is British
territory, and are caosing a panic in
that region. Many of the Dutch stock
of the Cape are joining their standards,
and are helping to spread in the colony
discontent with British rule. Kitchen
er, notwithstanding he hés a vast army
on the spot, is calling loudly for re-in
forcements ; and Lord Reberts is so de
pressed in London over the situation
in South Africa that he has requested
that all great functions and demonstra
tions cease. .
No matter what the final result of
this war may be, it has already coat
Gireat Britain in blood and treadure
many, many times more than the Trans
vaal is worth or ever will be worth to
her. A man fighting for his home, his
liberty and his institutions is always a
better soldier than one who battles
simply for glory or mervenary consider
ations. This explains why about fif
teen thousand Boers are too much for
one hundred and forty or fifty thousand
Britons. The Britiah soldiers are weary
and wish so return home, and if Kitch
ener’s re-inforcements are not soon at
hand there’s no telling what will hap
pen. Rapivs VEoroßr.
