As far as we can judge from report and co pti
fame the danger from the Kaffirs is over for the
rd
sent. The difficulty of preserving order during the go d
changes in their condition involved in the progre:orce
civilisation remains as it was. A strong military 'OOlO
a vigilant police, strict administration of justice, rO,l
and markets, are the instruments which Goverlitbeir
wields directly for this purpose. Intercourse witb,yo
civilised neighbours, missionary institutions, choir',
and schools, supply the influences of permanent ref°„eit
tion. All these are now in a state of great efficiev
and all working together in perfect harmony. of
The intelligence from the frontier is much of a eie,iti
nature to previous accounts. The Kaffirs were sell

chases of corn from the Fingoes. tbbt
