II seems TO be pretty well understood
that the extra session OF Congress will be
devoted only to the passage Of the neces.
sary appropriation bills and the repeal of
tho obnoxious election and jury laws. 1t
is now proposed, we understand, Ia incor-
poratc into the new law a provision pre-
ciseiy similar TO the one that prevails in
Englnnd-tbai troops are not to be allowed
nearer a polling place than two miles; that
soldiers are not to be allowed to attend
elections except to vote. This law will
not likely Ice rejected by the President.
The law that is good enough for MI efoie
monarchy ought to lie sufficient for the
new and pnre republic. But it has doubt
less been the opinion of many persons that
We lave for years been wandering from
the plain and simple ways Of republican,
ism, and surely and steadily adopting the
the people aud from them directly. Even
the concession proposed now to be made
by the Democracy tends Ia show that the
earlier theories of our fathers are certainly
being abandoned. The freedom Of the bal
lot is but an empty sham il the possible, or
even contingent, necessity Of any other
than the civil power is admitted to be- ne
ces-ary. Just exactly how these most i'm
porrant matters will be arranged cannot
yet be predicted. The Democrats, it is
said will stand firmly together for the re-
peal.

TEE sx.Bishop Of Zululand. now an
English rector. says that the Zulu war is
entirely the act Of Cstywayo. and that in
his subjects he found no hostility to the
English. Thousands Of Zulus. he
thinks. would be glad to escape from
the thraldom OF their King. This bears
ont the experience Of travellers thirty
ysars ago. The King liked to talk to
the Bishop Of the slaushtsring powers
Of his army. and the strength and con-
stitution OF that Of the British. and was
evidently calculating whether he would
b strong enough TO attack. The Bishop
thinks Cstywsyo went to war because he
found himself gradually surrounded by
British interests.
