OUR NATIONS DEAD.

tits probably generally remember
cd that some years ago--in 1873
Congress passed a law p:oyiling for
the erection of durable headstones
over the graves Of soldiers of the
regular and volunteer forces of the
United States whose remains are in
terrea in the National Military Gem
eteries. This law has been carried
out, and the graves Of the Nations
dead in these cemeteries are now
permanently marked AT the instance
Of the War Department, Congress has
recently authorized the erection OF
similar headstones over the graves OF
the Union soldiers who are buried in
private and village cemeteries. This
wrll be done as soon as the necessary
arrangements can be made. j the
meantime the Quartermaster General,
at Washington, will at once proceed
to collect the necessary information
rs to where these headstones are re-
quired.
All persons having any knowledge
of the burial places of soldiers in pri-
vate cemeteries whose graves are not
marked, are requested TO communi-

We do notsay that Euglands demands

we do say that the terms and condi-

sufficient tlmc between the demand

on Transvaal and Zulu Land, Tie
Beers claimed The land under a grant
TO themby the Zu'us, ana were in
possc,sion Of il. Three Englishmen
were appointed as commissioners to
settle the boundary. They decided
that tie Beers failed to prove that the
land had been ceded to themand chat
1t belonged to the Zulu government.
When Cetewayo, the Zulu King was
notified of the award, he was then or
soon after informed that in reference
to the territory which had been
awarded to him, ''indi, idual rights Of
property which were obtained under
the Transvaal government shall be
respected and maintained, so that any
Transvaal farmers who obtained
rights from the government OF the re-
public and who may now elect to re-
main on the territory, may possess
under British guaranty, the same
rights they would have possessed had
they been grantees holding from the
Zulu King" etc. Now of the English
in respect to this we see no occasion
to complain, We are not well posted
in the law of nations, and hence do
not assume to venture an opinion up
on the correctness of those lands Lc-
ing held "uRder British guaranty
But it does seem to us that those
farmers ought to have been Quoted III

Small of Guildhall think of being

Of which they were part having

suggested that the title Of the land
owners must depend upon the validity
of the title of their sovereign govern

to SO hold that each individual land

order to be secure in his individual
possessions? On this question we in
