A LETTER DIR. Livingstone's, late+
lv published in London, conforms in
a signal manner that the Briton
fights the savage in Afghanistan and
in Zululand as he fought the French
at Blenheim, and as Braddock fought
the Indians in the expedition against
Fort Duquesne. Livingtohe's letter
concerns the Transvaal Beers, and
shows that they knew how to fight
and conquer the Zulus long ago. Had
Lord Chelmsford resorted to their
tactics, instead of employing those
which he was taught at Woolwich
and Aldershot, there would not have
been any such disaster to the British
arms as that Of Isandula. Livings-
tone describes how the Beers avenged
themselves upon the Zulus for a mas
sacre of their people committed by
the order of the Chief Dingaan, the
predecessor of Cetywayo. The Beers
went to war and brought on a battle,
in which Dingaan lost between 5000
and 5000 of his warriors, while the
total loss Of the Beers was only six
men. The mode Of warfare is thus
described by the great traveller; The
Beers approach the Zulus to within
three hundred or four hundred yards,
then fire7and gallop off to a consider:
able distance and then reload their
guns. The Zulus, pursuing, have by
this time come sufficiently near to
receive another discharge from the
Beers, who again retire as before.
This process soon tires out the fleet
est Warriors, and, except through the
accident of the stumbling of a horse
or it's riders drunkenness, no Boer
ever stands a chance of falling into
their hands. The Beers report of
themselves that they behaved with
great bravery on the occasion. The
Zulu warriors advanced IN close col
umns, and their enemies were thus
enabled to. kill more than one with a
single bullet. y Such being the case,
the Zulus were advancing in the face
of almost certain destruction, with
out the possibility Of engaging any
except the six whom accident threw
into their power neg e n1a

The Democrats and Republicans
are neither satisfied with the nomin-
atoms for Supervisors of the Census.
The Republicans are mad because
they did net get all, and the Demo
Gratis because they did not get a fair
share of the nominations. Illinois
did not get a single Democrat, and
the Western States a mere handful.
1t is tolerably safe to say that many
of the nominations will be rejected.

Mr.. BIcKNELL's resolution looking
to the remodeling Of the system UNI
der which the President of this
country has hitherto been elected,
has been reported favorably by the
committee to which it was referred
1t may even be adopted by Congress.
Its most prominent feature is a pro
vision by which the electoral vote
is to be adjusted to the vote of the
people, so that no man shall be eho-
sen President who shall not have re-
ceived a plurality of all the votes
cast.

z CAS a negro be called a white
man, is the curions question which
has been lately submitted to the Su-
preme Court of the United States
There is a clause in the revised stat
utes which directs that any white
man convicted Of appropriating per
sonal property belonging to a friend
ly Indian shall be compelled to make
restitution and amends. A colored
man recently did that thing, and the
point has been made that the statute
did not apply to him. There may
be fine scope there for legal subtle
lies.

AN important movement is on foot
looking to the converting of an Ecu
menical Council or Conference OF
Methodists from all parts of the
world, to be held some time next
year. The idea was first mooted at
the Methodist Episcoal Conference
held in Baltimore, in May, 1875, at
which time committee was appoint
ed by the board of bishops to take
the thing into consideration. This
body has been in correspondence
with representatives Of the American
Wesleyan Church, the Methodist
Episcopal Church South, the Meth
odist Protestant diChurch, the Evan
gelicaI Association, the Methodist
and Methodist Episcopal Churches
Of Canada, the Wesleyan Methodist
Churches of England, and other bod

Fire Mt New MI nrtinsviIIe.

On "Wednesday evening, January
21st., about an hour after dark, a
barn belonging to John G. McEldow-
ney, of New Martinsyille, burnt down.
His horses and cows were saved.
The loss is estimated at 81 900. No
insurance. They had bard work to
save the adjoining buildings. Il
was the work of an incendiary. 1t
supposed, from several suspicious
circumstances; connected with the
burning of the barn that it was set
on fire for the purpose of burning
down the town and then robbing it.
This is the third fire in New Martins
vile within a week. M se

TIE Wheeling Register says that
Col. Ben.i Wilson, since he has been
a member of the Committee on For

sentatives, has made more reports
upon delicate and important ques-
tions touching our commercial 'rela-
tons with other governments, than
had been made by all the combined
members Of that Committee within
the past ten years. And his reports
have been so thorough and exhaus-
tive and so entirely correct in their
conclusions, that every one of them
has been adopted by the House, and
all but one by the Senate, and that
is still pending. There is scarcely
another member of Congress who
does as much well-directed hard labor
as Col Wilson.

A STRICTKR Law NREDED.-The Carson
APPEAL suggests an amendment "to prevent
guerilla politicians from stabbing enemies in
the dark, by making it a felony to write or
print any pamphlet, or circular, calculated to
injure candidate, within thirty days before
an election. Possibly the editor of the APPEAL
forgot to read the Constitutions Of the United
States, and the State of Nevada, before max
ing the last suggestion. Independent.
The present law is not strict enough. For
instance, a candidate for high office finds
that on the eve of election scurrilous crcu-
lar has been scattered broadcast over the
State, thrust under every mans door and
placed in the hands of nearly every voter.
No matter how untrue the allegations in the
circular may be he has no time to disprove
them before he has been beaten at the polls.
An attempt to find the real author of the
work is attended by the gravest difficulty.
When found he is generally some poor, ire
spsnsible scalawas who is the tool Of other
men and it is impossible to recover dam
ages. If the man is criminally prosecuted the
chances are ten to one that the document has
been so deity worded that an indictment for
criminal libel will not hold and the probabil.
tiles OF securing an impartial non'partisan
jury are slim. Even if the writer is convicted
and imprisoned the defeated candidate gets no
real redress To make it felony for print
err to do the work and to hold the man equally
liable who distributes any pamphlets calcu-
lated to iniure the chances of candidate,
whether libelous or not, would, we believe,
meet all requirements. The law could be so
framed that its provisions would not prevent
newspapers from discussing the character and
