During the past year Waukesha has I'm
doubtedly earned It's name OF the Saratoga
OF the West" The situation Of the town and
the country around 1t are strongly In Its
favor. Within radius Of nine miles Of the
town there are forty-one lakes, all deep, pure
and cold, ana alive with the finest fish. The
town Is located In the valley of the Fox river,
. tributary OF the Illinois, and rises from the
banks Of the stream to the high land that
margins the valley on both sides. One of the
chief attractions OF the town are the springs,
the favorite ones being the Bethesda, Cres-
cent, Silurian and Glenn. The browning glory
OF Waukesha is the Fountain Spring House
one of the largest watering place hotels west
of New York. 1t covers over an acre of ground
and contains over 400 rooms for guests. The
hotel is owned by Mathew Latin and man
aged by Col. Albert Cleveland. 1t is a favor
lite resort for Southern people, over 200 South
erners being present this year, mostly from
New Orleans and Tennessee.

The Columbia Herald, discussing the appor-
tionment made by the State Central Commit
tee, says: #5 5u
Why should parishes and wards receive o
greater apporttonment than they are on titled
to under the Burke vote because they cast Ii
larger vote for Nichols2
Ne take issue with the committee for depart
ing from established Dem ratio custom In this
| apportionment. This action of the COM
| mittae is unjust, unwise and calculated to en-
gender i'll feeling between the sections. There
is but one rule that the convention can adopt
that is right. proper, and will give satisfaction
to all concerned, and that Is to taks the vote
cast for E. A. Burke as q rule and guide In ap
perttontnR the vote to the various parishes.
Certainly our contemporary did not stop to
reflect that the falling off In the vote of New
Orleans and South Louisiana In 1878 was due
to an epidemic that caused the absence Of
thousands of our Democratic voters, and that
Notwithstanding this terrible epidemic New
Orleans gave her accustomed Democratic
majority of ten thousand.
The absent voters are now back In their re-
spectiye wards and parishes, and 1t would be
an outrage to deprive them OF representation
according to their actual voting strength.
By the new apportionment New Orleans
gains three delegates and the country gains
forty-seu
The apportionment made by the Central
Committee gives the Fifth Congressional Dis
tricta larger number OF delegates than any
other district OF the State. The first has 70,
second 70, third "a, fourth ", fifth 80, sixth 49,

Prince Bismarck has his hands full just
now. The time OF the election OF new mem
bers OF the Reichstag Is approaching, and
bis utmost skill Is required to prevent com
bination OF his enemies, which would result
In defeat for him and his policy. Their
differences are wide, but they have COM
mon hatred Of the Premier and may be able to
cast aside their fractional ideas and theories
long enough to strike a blow at the common
enemy. Bismarck's protective policy seems
to have done more to concentrate the opposi-
ton than any other measure Of his admins
tration, and 1t may Be that 1t will cause his
defeat In the coming elections. This Is not
probable, however. The astute Premier has
already sown the seeds OF dissension among
his adversaries, and may be expected to con-
duct his campaign to successful Issue, al
though this will be no easy work.

1t is gratifying Ia some respects to see the
trustee OF the Peabody fund displaying such a
lively interest in the educational affairs Of
Louisiana, and we trust that there will be nc
abatement OF his kindly disposition; but,
there Is one phase OF the matter which is

we allude to without any disposition to ex-
press preference upon the subject of the

The confusion Of politics and parties In that
State has resulted In turning over the gov

could least be trusted with them. The State

Synonymous terms-and the city Of San

Thu NEW ORLEANS DEMOCRAT, TUESDAY SEPTEMBER 1872

an officer Of the British army, who has been
long resident In India, and was regarded as
the best informed man In all India on all
questions relating to the Afghans. 1t was
through the diplomacy and skill of this officer
that Ameer Yakoob was induced to meet the
advancing army of the British as 1t was
about to advance on their capital, and to enter
into a treaty which was satisfactory to the
British Ministry and the Vice Royalty. IN
der this treaty the British embassy was in
stalled at Cabul under the guarantee OF the
protection Of the Ameer.
Major Cavagnari, 1t appears, undertook to
maintain this guarantee with small escort
OF English troops. Whether, as an inherit
ance from Sheer Ali, or through the intfigues
Of the Russians, 1t does not appear that
Yae0ob Khan has been able to make good
this guarantee. The Embassy had hardly
been established before there was violent
ebullition Of Afghanistan hostility against
both the British and the Amer. who had
guaranteed their safety and protection. At
the last accounts furious mob had besieged
both the Embassy and Yakoob Ali, and killed
or driven under cover the soldiers charged
with the defense of both. Pite0us appeals
had been sent to the nearest station Ia India
for reinforcements.
The most lamentable OF the casualties OF
this outbreak is that OF the death OF the
Major Cavagnari, who fell victim to his
own valor, diplomacy and confidence In the
faith OF the Afghanese. The kilograms yes
terday announced his death as having been
communicated by the Vieeroy of India to his
wife in England. Cavagnari was North of
Irelander, and II our memory does not de-
ceive us, was q County Derry man, a
schoolmate and friend OF our worthy fellow
citizen, Col. Sam Boyd.
We refer to these facts as furnishing an
other example of the distinguished position
and services Of Irish-born men In the peril
GUS enterprises Of the British government.
Especially In India have the great achieves
ments OF British power, yalor and diplomacy
been due to the energy talents and genius Of

sugar and coffee. There has been large in
