Lewis u. Goldsmith, o Danish
sailor about 40 years Of age, who
served in the Union army aud nav y
in the rebellion, propose, to sail
across the Atlantic from Boston the
comining summer, accompanied by
his wife, inn boat 1Sl feet long, on
o trip around the world. lie will 20
TO Copenhagen, Norway, Sweden,
by the North sea to Scotland, by
the Mediterranean to Alexandria,
through the Suez canal to Alden,
across the Indian ocean to India,
through the straits Of Malacca,
thence northwest TO Singapore, Hong
Kong and Yeddo, aud hually across
the Pacific to San Fahcisco, which
he expects 10 make in the fall Of
1881. From the golden Gate he
will come east to Bostan by rail.
The boat is now being built by W.
B. Smith, ut City Point. 1t is 1871
feet long, 6 feet beam, with 3 feet
depths Of hold, built Of oak aud
hard pine plsnking. 1t is SO con-
structed as to be q boat within q

Blind TO Danger.

II is now quite certain that the
Forty. fifth Congress will adjourn
without having provided any new
methods Of ascertaining aud de
claring the result OF elections for
President. Two years ago when
the country was virtually trembling
on the brink Of revolution in con-
sequence of the uncertainty atten.
ding the result OF the election, no.
body dreamed that two sessions OF
Congress would pass without new
safeguards and more perfect meth
DDS being provided. In two weeks
the present Congress will pass out
of existence. aud in all probability
before its successor meets the coun
try will ho alreahv anferad ppnn tho
excitements OF o new election,
Methods for regulating National
elections and for ascertaining the
result OF such contests, ought to be
entirely free from party or sectional
advantage. Elections that do not
express the popular will are the
greatest danger that can threaten
the perpetuity Of the republic. Up
on the Forty fifth Congress may
rest q frightful responsibility for
failing to provide against q possible
danger in 1880. The country was
saved from q peril in 1877 by resort
to a temporary expedient-the Elec-
toral Commission.
Another close election is possible,
il indeed not probable, next year. A
contest similar to that OF 1877 is
among the possibilities, but there
may not be so ready an acquies-
ence in an expedient like the Elec.
toral Commission. Congress has
had an abundance Of time to pro.
vide fair, just and simple methods,
under which contested or disputed
election would have been settled,
but Congress has delayed and post.
poned action until there is no longer
the least hope that anything will
be done in the premises. The ma
ton will have to "trust to luck" in
1880, aud place reliance on the com
mon sense and patriotism OF the
masses Of the Northern States.

Two Imp o-tant States.

Among the states where impor-
liant elections will occur this year
to carry which desperate efforts will
be made by both parties are New
York and Ohio. In each OF these
States there will be Governor el
ected and in view OF the Presidential
election the following year the con
tests this year are Of double inpor-
lance aud significance, New York
and Ohio are generally regarded as
debatable ground aud there has not
been q contest Of any importance in
either Of them for several years that
both parties were no more or less
confident Of success. New York is
absolutely necessary to the Demos
Gratis in the next Presidential con-
test. With that State aud Indiana

ocracy would be secure. aud Dem
ocratic leaders realize the necessity

The English Lion has been bror

The English Lion has been brought
to bay in Africa and met q reverse
quito disastrous in the war which is
being waged with the savage tribe ol
Zulus in South Africa. Late advi-
COS from Cape Town state that a
detachment oftbe fourteenth British
regiment, q small force OF artillery
and 600 native auxiliaries wero ut
terly annihilated by large force OF
10000 Zulus on the 2lst Of January.
The British admit tho loss of so
otfcers and 500 soldiers, the former
including a colonel, two majors aud
. surgeon. The Euglish forces were
weakened by u tedious reconnoiter-
iag expedition, and were overwhelm-
ed by superior numbers, aud slaugh.
tered in camp. Lord Cbelmford,
commanding tho expedition, was
forced to retire, barely saving his
own scalp. An urgent appeal has
been sent TO the homo government
by Governor Sir Bartls Frere for
large reinforcements, which will be
sent on, without delay. England
will doubtless avenge this slaughter
OF her troops with dispatch, as ia
her custum in dealing with her foes.
