About fifteen congreg atoms were represented
yesterday by dclegatiots, and others frcn nil
parts OF the country sent communications tx
pressing their readiness to ren,icr their uuut: ot
ASSISTANCE Mr. Lewis May, the banker, Prcsi-
dent Of the Fifth Avenue Congregation, was
chosen as Chairman. Letters were read from
the Rabbis Of New York, Phiiadelphia, Chicago,
and other cities, in relation to various questions
upon which their views had been asked. The
prevailing sentiment was adverse to the cs-
tabllshment Of an independent Jewish college
to give regular course Of secular as well Is
theological education. The founding OF pro-
fcsslonal chairs in connection with some Ameri-
can secular college Of established reputa-
tion was recommended as preferable, for the
reason that it would not be SO likely to exert
narrowing influence and would be less expen-
slVe- MIR. May announced that there had been
communication With various American colleges,
and they had sent assurances of their readiness
to cooperate. He reported that the Temple
Emanuel had voted to contribute $4,000 year9
and that Chief Justice DAILY, OF the Court OF
Common Pleas, had offered as contribution
the valuable right Of his History Of the Jews
IN America" Committees were appointed to
prepare resolutions, and for other purposes, and
then the Convention adjourned to take dinner
IN the Harmonic Club rooms, and aftcrward to
Z o'clock this evening.

WITCuCRAFT THE LEADING FEATURE.
The religion Of the Kafrs, like all other va
rieties Of the "noble savage" is nothing more
than vile superstition, accompanied by Gus
toms Of a most debasing character. By this re-
ligfon woman is degraded to the lowest level,
and classed among beasts Of burden and the
goods and chattcls Of her masters. Po1ygamy,
Of course, Is universally allowed, and, under the
system Of purchase which prevails, the number
Of wives bears proportion to the wealth OF the
husband. Concubinage is permitted, and no
idea Of purity or virtue Is permitted to exist.
Witchcraft is the great leading feature of the
Kadr religion, and witch-doctors'' are its
priests. In those places where British in
1uence does not exist, system Is
regularly carried out, by means, means of which
rapty @ % of tie S2i Ghies ' smes
out some person who has caused, or Is caus-
ing, sickness or some evil. Cruel torture, fol-
lowed by death, arc Immediately applied to the
unfortunate victim, and his wives anu cattle ta-
among the Kairs, ard urgent representations
arc very frequently made to the British Colonial
authorities upon the subject. The kaflrs believe
in u Supreme Being, but most OF their rites are
connected with the worship Of their deceased
pitiatc. a spiritualist Of the nineteenth cen
tury holds q belief something similar, and no
doubt could fratcrnize with these savages on the
same "religous platform" Christianity has
made no real impression upon them, although
the great intelligence and aptitude for learning
Of the people has been proved at one or two
wcll-conductcd Industrial institutions. To use
the words Of an officer Of the Government who
spent many years among them, " The Gospel
has been preached to them for the last
fifty years, and some attempts have been
made towards civilizing them; but the
Katlrs, nationally considered, remain just as
they ever we're; no visible difference can be dis
ccrned. They are as perfectly heather now US
they we're in the days Of Wander Kemp Tone of
the first missionaries, 1850, and SO they ever will
continue so long US their political Government
continues to exist in its present pagan FORM"
This extract points to the fact which Sir George
Grey thoroughly recognized, aud Of which the
Governments OF the colonies and States of
South Africa must be well aware, that unless
the power OF the witch-doctors be destroyed,
neither can civilization progress, security be Sc
cured, nor Christianity prosper. The Que great
means of stirring up strife, fon&enting war, and
binding the people to their cruel and infamous
religion is the superstittous belief in the powers
and influence Of their priests, commonly known
as witch-doctors. Physically, the Kaiir race arc
particularly fine. Sta1wart, well-forrned, manly,
aud brave. They arc also intelligent, and there,
are now in and on the borders Of the colony q
number OF Christians among them.-Lonslon
