was against his religious principles to pay the
same, saying he had the money, but positively
refused to pay it. Judge Kershaw differed
with the Doctor, and gave an elaborate opin.
ion, few extracts Of which we give below:
He said whatever is necessary to carry on
the government must be contributed by the
community. The Legislature which enacted
this law was elected by a majority of the votes
of the people, and since the adoption of the
Constitution, the law is binding on every citi-
zen. The government is authorized to levy
tax on all persons within certain ages, which
tax is given to the cause of public education:
As to the scriptural grounds, the Judge said
he had never seen anything in the Bible which
would warrant the Doctor in refusing to pay
his poll tax. Appeal dismissed with cost.
Cause of the Zulu War.
- The Zulu war, in which Great Britain
is engaged, has sprung up from a dispute
over the boundary between the Transvaal
and Zululand and various depredations on
the border of Cetywayo, king Of the. Zulus.
The boundary was settled by arbitration last
year, and in the award Sir Bsrtle Frere, af-
ter recapitulating all that had previously oc'
Cured in connection Herewith, decided that
in future the boundary is to be the Pongolo
on the north to its source, and the Blood river
from its source to its junction with the Fulega
at Rorke's Drift on the east. The small line
of country between the sources Of these two
rivers is to be surveyed and marked off in
straight line from one to the other. The
award ends with declaration distinct
and peremptory-that any intrusion over
these bounds on the part of any of the Zulu
tribes, will be deemed an act hostile to the
British government, and one for which Getty
wayo will be held responsible. Hostile dem.
onstrations having continued on the frontier,
an ultimatum was sent to Cetywayo through
Sir Henry Bulwar, Lieutenant Governor Of
Natal, in December last.
The population of England's South African
colonies is 100000 blacks and 100000
whites The Zulus have an army of $4,000
trained soldiers. Their military system is as
rigid as that of Germany, and develops splen-
did fighting qualities. The Zulu kings pow
er is absolute; the males of the nation form
the army, and as none of them can marry
without the royal permission, which is ex
tended to regiment at a time, and only to
one whose members have distinguished them.
selves, the Zulu army may be said to be in a
chronic state Of spelling for fight.
Manufactures in Columbia.
- The correspondent of the Neus and
Courier has this to say in relation to the re.
cent visit to Columbia of Mr.. A. G. Terry, a
Chicago manufacturer:
It is very gratifying to be able to state
that his visit has resulted most satisfactorily
to himself and to the friends of South Caro-
lima manufacturing enterprise. The pleasure
of the latter may be inferred when it is said
that Mr.. Terry has finally decided to estab-
lish large manufactory Of woolen and cot.
ton goods upon the banks of the Congaree,
and that it is INTENDED that the enterprise
shall he in full operation by the first day Of
May in this year. The necessary papers
have been or are being prepared, and the un,
dertaking now awaits only the construction
of the proper buildings, which will be erected
within the Penitentiary enclosure. The su-
perintendent and directors of the Penitentiary
had already determined to erect new and
c,mmodious workshops for the purpose Of
the institution, in place of the cabins which
now exist, and have made large preparations
for the manufacture of the necessary brick.
1t has now been decided to build upon such
scale as will allow the Penitentiary to use
portion of the shops for its own needs, and
rent the remaining space to Mr.. Terry. This
gentleman will hire and employ about one
hundred convicts, and set them to work at
once, under skilled instructors, to manufac-
ture both cotton and woolen hose, &C., suita-
BILE to the demands of this market. The
machines used in this special branch of man.
ufacture are run" principally by hand pow
er, and the enterprise is, therefore, to large
extent, independent of the delays likely to
attend upon the development of the water
of the canal, which, however, can be readily
utilized to any needed extent, when it shall
have been made available.
Iue CuIheSe YuesIoh'
I'VE are not a little surprised that the
Democratic members Of Congress should be
entrapped into voting for the bill, just passed
by both houses, restricting Chinese immigra-
ton. While it is probable that the President
will veto the bill, yet if he does not, and it
should become law, it will recoil upon the
Democratic party in the next National cam.
paign. Negro suffrage and social equality
are very good for the South, but when few
thousand ongolisns-who are represented as
thrifty, industrious people-settle on the
Pacific slope, the cry comes from the North,
"Go away, Chinaman, don't you come nigh
me-" 1t does really make some difference as
to whose OK is gored, and the Chinaman in
the meal-tub is more dreaded evil than the
negro on the wood pile. A Washington dis
patch of the 18th, to the Baltimore Sun,
speaking of the discussion of the Chinese
question in the Senate says:
The Senate was engaged all day on the
House bill to prevent Chinese immigration.
A number of Democratic Senators who were
opposed to the bill concluded not to vote
against it in consequence of telegram sent
from San Francisco to-day by ex-senator
Casserly, in which he appealed most earnestly
to his Democratic friends in the Senate to
favor the measure. The discussion in the
Senate was protracted to late hour, but an
adjournment was effected before vote was
reached. If it was not for the fifteenth amend
ment to the constitution, it would be in the
power of the State of California to enact such
legislation as would remedy the Chinese evil,
