vision is this: -
‘‘The Assistant Commissioners
guarantee in the 'tfiillest manner, on
the part of the British Government,
to the emigrant farmers beyond [the
Vaal river, aha right to manage their
own affaire, and to govern themselves
according to their own laws, withont
any interference on the part of the
British Government; and that no en
croachment shall be made by the
said government on the territory be
yond.”
No provision of that convention
was violated by the Boers, though
article five has lipen violated by Brit*
ish shopkeepers in providing; the na
tives with guns an ammunation. Nev
ertheless, on the 12th day of April,
1877. Sir Theophilus Shepstone,
“abusing a special power granted him
under entirely different circumstan
ces,’’ proclaimed that the Transvaal
Republic was annexed to the pos
sessions of the British crown. The
people might then, says the proclama-
tion, have lawfully resisted by force;
but they feared that, between British
and colonial troops on the one hand
and hostile African tribes on the oth
er, they would be ruined, and bo
waited, “being convinced that Her
Majesty’s Government, bettei inform
ed, would disapprove of the action of
her official.’’ Then follow two remark
able and decisive documents. One
of them is an extract from the min
utes of the Executive Council dated
April 11, 1877;' the other a procla-
mation by President Burgers, April,
12, 1877. Both solemnly protest
against SirT. Shepton’s act, and de
clare that a deputation shall be seDt
to England “to try and obtain a
peaceful solution of the case.” This
deputation, and an another in 1878,
went loEnglandjn vain. The Zulu war
followed; tho Boers, iu good faith,
refrained from taking part with the
Zulus. During that war, Sir Bartle
Frere visited the Transvaal and tried
in vain to reconcile the people to an-
Delation. A camp of more than four
thousand burghers asked him;to plead
their cause with Queen Victoria, and
he wrote a public letter which satis,
fied them that they bad “at last found
a good defender.’’ But in a private
lette- be wrote that he “regretted
not having cannon enough to disperse
these rebels.’’ After the Zulu war
was over. Sir Garuet Wolseley went
to the Transvaal, and, taking a dif
ferent tone fl ora Sir Burtel Frere,
shocked its people by declaring that
“as long as the sun shines the Trans,
vaal will remain British territory.’’

The Washington Star says there is
a good deal of importance attached in
Democratic circles in that city to the
speech delivered in the senate by senator
McDonald last Thursday. It is whis
pered that the Senator laid the corner
stone of a new or rather reconstructed
Democracy, which is to be organized
for the political battle fields of 1882
and 1884; not that the Democracy
contemplates abandoning either their
name or their doctrine*, but that the
policy of wavering is to be done away
with, and the doc'.rine of free trade or
tariff reform is to become the shibbol
eth. The Senator’s speech was devo
ted to showing the benefits of fret-
trade and the evils of protection, and
those who assume to know assert that
the West and South are to join hands
in making free trade the national pol
icy.

ed “to proclaim what baa now been
proclaimed,” tho continuing indepen
dence ot the Transvaal republic. Sir
Garnet Wolseley was notified, he
responded by declaring the President
and Secretary to be guilty of high
treason. Meanwhile, the colonial au.
thorities misrepresented the paymen
of taxes under protest, by this plcet
loving people as a surrender
of their canse. Then they stopped
paying taxes even under protest, and
then the explosion came. This proc
lamation snows by incontestible evi
dence that at no time did the Boers
volentarily surrender their indepen
dence, and this is its language :
“We declare before God, who knows
the hearts, and before the world:
Any one speaking of us as rebels is a
slanderer 1 The people of the South
African republic have never been sub.
jects of Hev Majesty, and never will
be.”
Such is the reason why the Boers
fight. •* Rarely,” says the New York
Sun, “ has a community risen against
tyranny with more justification. Bare
ly has British power been set to tt ork
more culpably than in this attempt ol
a gigantic empire to crush the freedom

Roberts was shot and instantly killed

that there had previously been some
ill fee ing existing between the men,
but as to what particular act or word
led to the shooting we have no reliable
information. The statement is that
while Mr. Roberts was at work on a
chimney, Tharp came up behind him
and poured a load of buck-hot into
the hack of his head.

that a hundred dollars be raised and
given some gentleman to visit all por

be easily raised. We will be one of

two hundred dollars, or whatever sum
may be necessary. By all means let

Why the South is SoUd.
The American, of Philadelphia, in
its issue ofFebuarv 12th, continues
its series ofletters from Southern men
on the situation. Senator Johnston,
Representative Peale, Gov. Mathews,
of West Virginia, all write strong
and able letters, but- tbe strongest,
perhaps, is that of Prof. Puryear, who
is at the head of Richmond College,
said to be the leading Baptist educa
tional institution in the South. We
quote from bim as follows.*
“In passing this outrageous legis
lation, the intention was—and there
seemed uo bar to the full execution of
the intention—to pnt the people of
these States under the domination
of their late slaves. In a measure, you
of the North have failed; but tbe fail
ure does not redeem tire unpardon
able cruelty of tbe punishment. For
it was a punishment, not of ‘rebels’
only, but ot non-combatants of every
class, of women and little children—a
punishment that, not finding sufficient
material for itsvengeance in tbe.living
generation, sought to inflict its bitter
lumiliation on generations yet unborn.
If yon had been content to punish the

Those who declare that the country
cannot afford to give pensions of eight
dollars a month to a handful of Mexs
ican veterans, should remember that
congress vot^d $510,000,000 in pen
sions last year to soldiers of the late
war.; Of the amount now .annually
paid to the pensioners of the register,
tbe-bomraissioner says ten per cent
at least is paid to fraudulent claims
ants. The duty of congress is to see
that these fraduleni claimants’
names are stricken off the roil,
and that the names of the genu
ine Mexican veterans are substituted.
The Mexican veterans have not
long to live, and justice demands that
their services shall be appropriately
recognized.
