THE T~RANSVAAL.
From the Times).

The armistice with the Beers has
been extended for the purpose Of
peace negotiations, and will row
expire on Friday. President Brand
still clings to the hope hat the war
may be ended through his friendly
mediation; and Lord Kimberley and
Mr. Gladstone have announced hat
Commissioners will be appointed to
examine the Boer claims. There is
some difficulty in understanding the
exact nature of the inquiry which
will be confded to these Commission
ers, for the Boer claims are clear and
simple, and the Government cannot
be ignorant that it is for them first to
decide whether they will or VIII not
relinquish the sovereignty of the
Transvaal and put up with a british
protectorate, AS, however, the Gov
eminent approve Of the armistice,
with q view to negotiations, and as
inquiries or negotiations through
Commissioners necessarilyinvolve de-
lay, the armistice has been very pro-
perly renewed, and for a while, there
fore, fighting viii be stayed. The
delay cannot be disadvantageous to
us from a military point of view. If
the terms which commend themselves
to the British Government prove
incompatible with those proceeding
from Mr.. Kruger and the Boer camp,
we shall, at all events, know exactly
what is at issue in this miserable war.
The question with whom the propo-
sal for an armistice originated is now
definitely answered. The obscuriiy
of the first statements of Mr., Glad
stone in regard to this matter was
calculated to excite considerable dis
trust. On Monday, however, he
made it clear that the initiative was
not taken by the British Government.
The exigencies of the military situa-
ton could not have beensuchas to in
duce Sir Evelyn Wood to asus
pension of hostilities. We learn with
satisfaction, therefore, that the pro-
posals for the armistice originated
with President Brand, and, having
been communicated to the Boer lead
ers, were acquiesced in by them, and
through them were conveyed to
General Wood. It is reassuring to
know that our honour has not been
compromised by ~oyertures made after
, 1881-04-16

that it takes a mans weight in lead
to kill him is a long way understated.
Granted that the Boer estimate ls
true-and there is no positive evil
dence to refute tit is humiliating
to the craftsmanship of u soldiers,
while the heroism of the Beers is also
reduced to smaller proportions.
Without any wish to depreciate the
bravery of our opponents, it is plain
that an advance before a fire that
does little or no execution must
demand far less courage than n
during which comrades are being
rapidly swept down right and left.
Among the lessons that the Majuba
fight should teach our soldiers is the
value under many circumstances OF
the art Of Independent fighting.
Skirmishing seems with us to be a
science still in its infancy. Most of
the defenders of the Spitzkop were
veteran troops. Had they been boys,
their wild firing would have been
less remarkable. 1t is clear that our
officers should be more careful to
obtain cover for their men, and that
the latter should be better taught to
avail themselves OF cover. In prac-
Using at a fixed target they have mo.
opportunity Of judging Of varied dis
tances at marks suddenly presented
to them. Apart from these shortcom-
ings, we must alss admit that a sys-
tenn under which each of our soldiers
fires no more than 80 rounds annually
cannot be expected to produce an
average of good marksmen.
The murder of Captain Elliott and
the sudden and apparently treacher-
Gus attack on the Oath Regiment at
Bronkfr's Spruit have hitherto been
the sole blots on the behaviour OF
enemies who otherwise have shown
themselves singularly chivalrous and
humane. The mail lately arrived
brings us an emphatic Republication by
the Beers Of the murder, together
with a justification of their action at
Brokers Spruit. The former is CON
tanned in the reply of Mr.. w. E. Box,
the State Secretary Of the Bosr
Triumvirate, to the communication OF
the late Sir George Colley on the
subject. Mr.. Bok's despatch is, on
the whole, satisfactory, and must be
held to exculpate the Boer authorities
from any completely or sympathy
with the crime. MI. Box was IN
structed to express mmediately "ths
"deep horror and dismay which the.
Government feel at the evil deed"
Investigations have been set on foot,
and "there can be no reasonable
doubt that the perpetrators of this
"cowardly act will be punished ac-
"cording to law" Mr.. Box hopes,
too, "that Captain Lambart will be
"prepared to give his evidence for
"the furtherance of Justice, when
"called upon, at the earliest opportu-
unity" The Boer versions of the
Bronker's Spruit affair are less con-
vincing. According to the deciara-
tons made by the Boer interpreter
and by another Boer witness Of the
battle and of the scene that followed
it, Colonel Anstruther, the officer COM
manding the British on that occasion,
, 1881-04-16

Queen, and who stand in arms
against us in the Queens dominions
upon territory which they have in
vaded. But, according to our Dur
ban kilograms, the prospects of peace
are not very cheering. A considera-
bic contingent, said to number 1000
men, has left the Free State for
Laing's Neck. In both the Trans
vaal and he Free State, we are told,
the tone of the Beers, especially the
younger ones, is offensive, and they
look forward, not merely to the indie
pendence of the Transvaal, but to
"a united South Africa, free from
British authority" We are strong
enough in South Africa to be mode
rate in our demands; but a conscious
ness of strength is not enough if those
against whom it may be used deny or
ignore it, either through ignorance "
from their temporary defeat Of a few
hundred British soldiers, greatly out
numbered, and, we fear we must add,
as greatly out-generalled. Without,
therefore, desiring any further blood
shed, if it can be honourably avoided,
E~nglishmen will expect that in any
negotiations now set on foot the
national authority will be properly
indicated, and no doubt left of
British supremacy in any part Of
South Africa.
We published on Monday from our
Correspondent at Durham a summary
of Commandant Joubert's official
report of the battle on the Majuba
Mountain. There are features of
this disaster which yet require ex-
PLANTATION. The Boer accounts Of
the battle give no details, and the
results they set forth appear inexpli-
cable. It is hard to reconcile the
enormous discrepancy between
Joubert's statement and the British
estimates OF the Boer losses. There
was a similar discrepancy, it will be
remembered, regarding the fight at
Schain's Hoogte. Though opinion at
the Cape is not favourable to Boer
~veracity, we must hesitate before
absolutely rejecting the repeated
assertions of a seemingly scrupulous
chief who modestIy ascribes his VIC
tories to Divine inierposition. But
if it be true that only one of bis men
was killed and five wounded in the
assault on the Majuba Mountain, it is
clear that we have much to learn as
to the use of the Martini-H Henry.
How deadly is the fire of the breech-
loader our troops have repeatedly
shown against Afghans and ZuIus.
At Plevna and other European battle
fields the same tale was told. But
now we are asked to believe that a
thousand or two of men, after sustain
ing a scattered fire for some hours,
stormed a precipitous height held by
some 800 seasoned British troops
with only half-a-dozen casualties.
1t might have been expected that the
r~evolvers of our officers, to say
nothing of the rifles of their men,
would have made greater gaps among
the enemy. In the final rush alone,
it is more than strange that the Beers
did not suffer, and suffer heavily.

Judge Thurman.
To the Editor of the Enquirer:

10 Inc fatl'h ol lle Enquirer:
In an. editorial republished from the
Memphis Appedt in Thursdays Enquirer,
eulogistic of the character and public SER
vices of Senator Thurman. there is the
following statement:
The fatal mistake of his life was the
temporary abandonment of hard money,
Just at a time when the business of the
country was greatly depressed
This perversion of Judge Thurmans po-
sitIon. termed by the editor in that arti-
Gle his mistake on the financial question,
he truly says cost him the Presidential
nomination in 1875.
There was Predetermined purpose to
assail and misconstrue Judge Thurman
on the 'hnacial question, no matter what
he might have taio in his Hamilton
speech.
No sentence or sentiment of that speech
has ever been pointed out by any body,
nor can be. inconsistent in any degree
with the previously-held principles OF
expressed opinions of Judge Thurman on
the money question
The misnomer of hard money Demo
Gratis, as applied to those who favored d
National Bank paper circulation in pref.
erence to or to the exclusion of green
backs, was trick of politicians and s
fraud on the country.
The only legitimate definition of hard
money men was those who favored the
convertibllity at all times of paper cur
rency INTO specie at theswill of. the h6l
der. Judge Thurman never in his. life
on any occasion or at any time, advocat
ed paper currency OF any other charac
| ter.
If he preferred greenback to Nation
al Bank currency, it was not certainly
because the latter was convertible into
coin while the former was not, but just
the reverse; for all knew that the bank
currency is not redeemable by law il
coin, but in greenbacks. v
WHAT stuff it is, then, to talk about
this ''mistake of Judge Thurman's life!'
The simple truth is, the Democratic
party committed the mistake of its life
when it succumbed to yenality anC
trickery and premited a faithful andlsterl
ing leader, whose ability, integrity anC
craftsmanship would have commanded {
universal support throughout the United
States, and achieved a signal victory, ''tt
be hawked at and killed." Thurman il
1876 was the best and truest representa-
tive Democrat in the United States, al
he was equally so in 1880. The circum
stances that made his nomination for til,
Presidency impossible indicate at once
the decadence of the Democratic party
and the inauguration of political infiuen
ces that are destined to test the per
manance of popular government in thi
county. Respectfully, &. W. Ii.

WASHINGTON. March 20.-The opposi-
tion to Stanley Matthews Is taking q turn
that is considered more dangerous to his
chances for confirmation than the vague
allegations used against him before. 1t
is said to be now inevitable that long
and hotly contested litigation will ensue
between the Government and Central
Pacific Railroad. The Government
claims, under the law. 25 per cent. of the
net earnings of the company. This, ac-
cording to the reports of Auditor French,
the road has been evading in part by =
system of swindling that he declares can
not be checked. The question will then
come up as to the constitutionality of the
law under which the Government de-
mands the annuity. Three of the judges
on the bench are already on record on the
side of the Government. Two have de-
cided that the law is unconstitutional
and that the Government has no right to
the payment of the money. Mr.. Mat
thews is also on record as holding the
same opinion. This would make the
count three one way and three the other,
with Judge Woods uncertain, never hav-
ing been called on for an opinion. Judge
Clifford and Hunt are practically off the
bench, so they are not counted. The op-
position to Matthews claim that the in-
terests of the Government should not be
ieOpardized by putting a man on the
bench who is known to be against the act
of Congress in case where hundreds of
millions are involved, and they claim
that the popular verdict will be for his
defeat.

A Lock Ahead,

The St. Louis Republican suggests a
point in regard to Mr.. Hayes gloritica-
tion of National Banks in his veto mes
sage, and which President Garfield re-
peated in his inaugural. in mild way,
that merits consideration. The idea in
both cases was that it would be great
public misfortune if this currency was
retired. The fact is, however, the bank
ing sy stem will expire by limitation, un-
less the National debt is made perpetual.
The only foundation of the banking sys-
tenn is the public debt, $3.50, 100000 of
which, owned by the banks, is held as
security for their circulation. When the
debt is paid the banking system that rests
upon it will be an end. The total bonded
debt is $,674, 100000, and we are paying
at the rate of$75, 600 900 year. Sixteen
years from this time it will have beer

Correspondence Of the Bee.l

OTTAWA, March 15-Court was mainly
occupied last week in the hearing of cases
against liquor dealers. and a few civil
eases of minor importance.
Elizabeth Redmond, lcolored). the vic
tim OF the outrage, as reported ia the Bee
a few days since, has been removed from
the Ottawa House to her brothers, about
mile southeast of Ottawa, where she
will remain until recovered.
Yesterday Marshal Brakeman arrested
Bull" Henthorn alias William Hen
thorn, Jr.. and Constable Henry Sherrard
arrested Mahlon Scott in Pleasant town
ship-both on a charge of being impli
Gated in the above mentioned outrage
and the hearing of the cases was finally
set for o'clock this afternoon, before
Mayor Knupp.
A death from abortion and an attempt
ed suicide occurred near Keiferville,
Henry county, last week. Jennie Brow
er and John Waters were school teachers
and engaged soon to be married. Mean
time the two became criminally init
mate, and Miss Brewer being in an in
teresting condition, an abortion was per-
formed, as is charged, by DIR. Springer, Of
Deshler, from which she died. Waters
became desperate and shot himself, but
the ball hit rib and caused painful
wound. Miss Brower's funeral occurred
at Keifersville last Sunday, and was
largely attended. Waters is confined to
his bed and his death is expected.
Since writing the above hear that
DIR, Springer has been arrested charged
with procuring an abortion, and will
have hearing tomorrow before Jus
tice of the Peace at Deshler.
Later-The hearing of Henthorn and
Scott has been progressing this afternoon
but is not yet concluded.

totally extinguished, and in ten years
from now il will have been so nearly ex-
tinguished as to impair the foundation
ON which the national currency rests,
and force the country to cast about for
some other system. Surely, it is not to
be supposed that the country will consent
to carry its debt forever for the sole ac.
commodation of the National Banks.
The very prosperity that now blesses it,
increases its ability to reduce this debt.
The more prosperous it is, the more rap
idly the debt is reduced and the larger
the annual reductions. the greater the
satisfaction of the people. And so, after
all the only reason for Mr, Hayes veto
is the pefpetuation Of banking system
which, in the very nature of things, can.
not be perpetuated--the maintainance OF
a.currency which will have to be with
drawn when the $4,000 COO bonds on
which it rests shall have been paid.

HUMAN SAW.DUST.
A Frightful Accident in "A Wisconsin
Saw -MilI-Dalias Wilder Cut into
Mincp.Meat.
Special Dispatch to the Enquirer.

MILWAUKEE, Wis, March lS.--.A horri-
BILE fatal accident occurred at Viola. this
State, yesterday, in 4. Cushman's saw
mill. Dallas Wilder, sawyer, was at his
post in the prefor nance OF his duties.
He had his hand on the feed-lever when
his attention was attracted to another
part of the mill by man calling his
name. AS he turned his head to see
what was wanted the saw cut the thumb
of his left hand off. The unfortunate
man then must have fallen toward the
saw, for TO the borrow of the others in
the mill, his left arm was instantly taken
off at the shoulder and his head severed
from his body.
The deadly saw continued its horrible
work, cutting the right arm off and cut
ting the body in thousands of pieces, pro-
ducing instant death. The horror-strick-
en- men in the mill did not have time to
reach him before the terrible work was
accomplished Wilder's remains were
scattered over the premises in the shape
of human sawdust.
