MIS- L a Z 0 u S.
From ne Nnectat0r 0f6 October.

The VolkSraad Of the IranSyaal have
rot rejected the Convention, but they have
decided to demand some notifications,
If which two are Of great Importance.
The first is that the Queens Government
hall not conduct, but only control, bust
ness with foreign nations, This Is IN
theory wholly inconsistent With the
Queens supremacy, for although "a very
similar privilege is allowed to Bavaria III
the German Empire, and informally to
Canada in the management OF the relations
with the United States, Germany IS q
Federal EmpnP, not Il simple monarchy ;
and Canada has NJ legal power OF action
in practice. The demand is intended to
allow the Beers to make war and peace with
native tribes and the Portuguese as they
please,-that is, 10 bring on again the
situation fer which annexation was the
remedy. 1t is inadmissible; while the
second demand that the Queens Govern.
ment shall not interfere to protect the
natives, is monstIouS. That Government
does so interfere, even with france, to
protect the Indian coolies. The Beers
make so little secret of their policy that
they specially object to the clauses Secur-
ing to natives the right TO hold land, the
very first right of a citizen, and granted
throughout the British domlnlons, even
when, as in India, we refuse all political
liberties. They intend i'll fact, without
legalising slavery to establish serfage, and
see clearly that the British Government
would interfere. That demand also is
~madmissible. 1t would, we believe. be
the truest policy for the Government to
adhere to the Convention as it is ratified,
and if the Beers attack, to fight them
again,-this time with a clear conscience.
Some surprise is expressed at the dis
agreement between the Beers who fill the
Volksraad and the leaders who signed the
Convention. but we believe the explana-
ton is this - he leaders are experienced
men, very patriotic, but aware OF the
weakness of their State, and not so inter
ested as the masses in the legal position of
the Blacks. The Volksraad, on the other
hand, is filled with representatives OF the
country farmers, who live in widely scat
tered homesteads, to whom then 'patriar-
chap authority on their lands is all-ln all,
and whose one ID ca of England is that she
makes black men equal to white, Nearly
half of them are choppers" who hold as

The event of the week has been the arrest
fMr. Parntll under the Coercion Act, tech
ricaIIy on The charge Of inciing 10 intimida-
tion, bur really, Of course, on that of iDsiiga-
ting resistance to the law. Mr.. Gladstone, at
Leeds, on Friday week, warned the world that
1" he resources of civil cation in maintaining
the law were not exhausted" and that no force
or fear Of force, would deter the Government
from its duty Of projecting the well-disposed.
On "Wednesday the Cabinet sat in council for
four hours; and on Thursday morning Mr..
Parnell was arrested in his hotel in Dublin,
and conveyed 10 Kilmainham. Sufficient
military precautions were taken TO avoid any
sudden rslng of a mob, but the arrest was
effected by the ordinary police, and no dis;ur.
baDce occurred. The word has been passed
from America that there mist be no insurrec-
ton, and at present the Land u az uers are
waiting to see what the people think, and an
nouncing only that the Land league will con-
tinue, and that its object will never be given
up. Several more counties have been pro-
claimed, end rumours are, of course, adoat
that more arrests will be made, and that the
Castle will even resort to martial law. There
is however, little doubt that the Government,
whose sole object is TO see tie law peaceably
obtye5, vii await the decision Of the Irish
people. In England and Scotland, the news
has been received with universal approval, as
Indicating that the law will be sustained.

to be their bondSmen. All these farmers
are ready to trek" rather than bear any
control in their treatment OF their natives,
that being the point upon which they
first rose. We very much donbt whether
they will yield, as their idea is that they
may win and that if they do not they can
still occupy the splendid Doab between
the Zambesi and Natabele rivers. The
one check on them is their fear lest a
renewal of the war should be followed by a
servile inSurrection, and even that does not
weigh with the DopperS.

The official programme in France is said
to be arranged. Ii the Ministry does not
resign before, the Chambers will meet on
the 18th inst, and NJ. Ferry will de.Eand
a vote of confidence in the Ministry If
that is reused, as it is believed it Will he,
the President Will send for NJ. Gambctta
to form a Ministry, in which NJ. Jules
Ferry will take part us Minister Of Public
Instruction. The 'great Ministry" so
long expected, viii then be formed.
The correspondent of the Times endea,
Yours 70 awaken NJ. GrGvy's diStrust and
alouSy of NJ. Gambetta; bat he is a per.
sistent representative Of Orleanist wishes,
and on Friday admits that he has been
wrong throughout. He ever believes that
the Ministry will resign before the Cham
Der meets. 1t is, of course, improbable
that NJ. Gr6vy, after his long life of Consti-
tutionaliSm, will refuse to summon the
nominee Of the hamber, and more impro.
hable that tie Chamber will refuse to
indicate with whom the majority rests.
Besides, impatience counts for something
in France, and everybody is sick of petty
Ministries which last till NJ. Gambetta
hints that they had better go. France
wants her strongest man to try his own
hand, and exercise his power with reSpon-
sibility.

tural course is to promise everything, but
go on Strengthening Kairouan, and the
French may be forced to sink the Turkish
Fleet. They are not i'll a mood to be mo-
derate even in Paris, and i'll Tunis they
seem to have been quite carried away by
an attack on a railway station, Oued Ear
CHA, at q little distance. The Arabs
burnt the station master and his assistants
alive, and the French officers are ready
for any violence which may look like
r%eprisalS.

Abdul Hamid must be fey. Hitherto
he has shown himself timidly cautious
and rather adroit, but the Khalifate is at
stake, and he is pushing his claims with
an energy which must end i'll serious con-
tlicts. Not content with arousing the
Arab clans of North Africa to resist the
french advance, he is laying claim to
direct authority in Egypt. 1t was all
Lord Dntlerin and NJ. Tissot could do to
prevent his sending troops to Alexandria,
and he has sent two Commissioners to
Cairo, to 'giye advice" to the Khedive.
The Constantinople correspondent of the
Pail Mall Gazette declares that they carry
with them an order d~isallOwing the assem-
bly, CT the Notables, just sanctioned by
Tewtik; and that on Tuesday, September
9th, the Grand Council was summoned,
attended by all leading Ulema, to discuss
Egyptian affairs. 1t was decided that the
Khedive must be warned that he was
placing himself outside islam, and that
he must recall his orders, or be invaded
10y the Sultan's army. That statement,
incredible as it seems, is quite probable, i'll
Abdul Hamid'S present mood and with
all Arabs excited as they are, Tewtik may
be forced to give way. If he does not,
or IL he does, as the Powers ara determined
not to ALLOW the Sultan to re,establish
bis ascendancy in Egypt. a crisis in Cairo
must occur shortly. Tewfik may be wise
to guard himself well for a few days,
especially against madmen. The last
Grand Shereef of Mecca had reason to
repent his popularity with his subjects.

The French military system is not in
order yet, or there could not be all this
delay in the march on Kairouan. The
French Chambers meet on October 2Sth,
and the expedition, be it as successful as
it may, will take ten days. 1t is, therefore
an object Of the highest interest to the
Wan Ministry that General Loserot should
start by the I2th inst, and everything
was said 10 be ready for that day. 1t is
nov, however, alleged that the expedition
AIRY force must wait till the Goth, and that
this date depends upon the quietude Of
the city CT Tunis, the forts round VIII CHI
are TO be previously occupied. The mate
ria's for the light railway which is to be laid
downasthe troops advance are not quite rea-
dy, and there is still a want of men, every
day developing necessity for new garrisonS.
There is weakness somewhere. whether it
be in the Ministry Of War, as the Partisan
journals say or in the local CommiSSariat,
as the Irreconcilable orators say or in a
conflict between two departments, the
War Office and the Foreign Office, as we
very strongly suspect. Whatever the
reason, the expedition is delayed unex-
pectedly, and to the annoyance of the
troops.

While General Logerot halts, or is halt
ed, the preparations for the defence of
Kairouan continue. The expedition will
be harassed all along its march of a hun.
dred miles, and the Arabs say that 40, 900
men will be killed i'll defence of the Holy
City. All Orientals boast, generally from
ignorance, but the French Government is
clearly annoyed at the attitude of Turkey.
The Sultan has landed thirty-nine field
guns, eleven Krupp's fortress guns, and
SIX mortars at Tripoii, with their ammuni-
ton, and they will beyond doubt be used
to defend the Holy City. The French
Government is exceedingly annoyed, and
has directed the Havas Agency to pub
lish these facts, accompanied by strong
menaces to the Sultan, under cover of an
address," Tripoli"-which is most i'm
probable. 1t has, moreover, instructed
NJ. Tissot to bring the Sultan to reason,
and the language of that exceedingly
plain-spoken ambassador is reported to
have been most threatening. AS We have
elsewhere tried to explain, the Sultan,
who is said to be under some delusiye
hope of support from Germany, cannot
give way without risking, or, indeed,
losing, his position as Khalif and er-otfcio
defender of all orthodox Moslem. His ma

/ ty, of West Point, Miss, will have a May
Queen Coronation and Strawberry Supper
on the night of the 4th of May, for the pur-
pose Of aiding in building a Presbyterian
Church in West Point, and it is desired that
every town in the State compete by ballot
for the election of the QUEEN. Votes will
be put at 10 CENTS EACH, and the young
ladies and gentlemen of each town are re-
quested to take the matter in hand and hold
the election.
All railroad and other travelling expenses
of the Queen and her Maids of Honor to
West Point and return, will be betrayed by
the Ladies Aid Society. Entertainment
will also be provided for them at private
residences.
We will state by way of suggestion, that
the plan of election in West Point will be to
place a ballot box, at the Drug House of w.
o. Owen & Co. to give an opportunity of
voting during the day. Then at night the
box will be carried to our town hall, and
the vote counted and announced. Thirty
minutes more will then be allowed for bal
loting, after which the final result will be
declared. The general result, will be pub
lished in the principal papers of the State.

dalliance with corrupt men, for the same
reason that Brother Talmage went among

anything by hobnobbing in the dens and
