The Daily News states that a Secret
Society has been formed in Russia,
having for it's object the suppression
of the Nihilists, or rather, of the Rus
sian Revolutionary Committee, by
all and every means, assassination
included. At its head is a person Of
high rank, and it already numbers
900 members, commanding some
100000. Men formerly high in the
Secret Police have been affiliated, and
their operations will extend to &C.
neva and London. The first object Of
the " Holy Brotherhood" is to protect
the Emperor, and punish those who
threaten him and three leading
Nihilists, two of whom are named,
are said TO be already marked down.
1t was Of course, from the first GER
tain that the practice of assassination
would develope the vendetta, as it
has done in all countries and all
ages. Some day, if disorder lasts
in Ireland, we shall see an irish jury
slaughtered out by the relatives of
the victims, for having deliberately
refused them justice. Such an attempt
as that of the Holy Brotherhood is
as natural as the vengeance taken by
an Arab tribe, which, can get no other
redress; but it is, nevertheless, worse,
both in motive and consequences
than TIE original crime. 1t is murder
by hired braves for vengeance
which is intended, and the first sue
cessful crime VIII double the power
Of the NIhiIists. they will cease to
be asSasSins in their own eyes, and
will become dueilists, fighting for life
on equal terms against foes armed
just like themselves. If they kill amy
body here, the brotherhood will DO

sequence.

From the SPECTATOR

A Telegram was received in Lon
don on Monday (26 Sept, announcing
that the Volksraad of the Transvaal
had rejected the British Convention,
and in subsequent kilograms it was
stated that the Jl,7OO troops now in
the Transvaal and Natal had been or
dered to stand fast. No confirmation
ofthese statements, however, has been
received, and it is known that no vote
has been taken. The truth appears
to be that the most prominent party
in the VoIksraad is the one which
objects to the Convention, first,
because the natives are protected,
and secondly, because heavy sums of
money are to be paid. The first
proviso is regarded as an insult, as no
,Boer, in his own opinion, is ever
unjust to any native; while the
second involves taxation, to which no
Boer, if he can help it, will submit.
There is no evidence, however, that
the Triumvirate who sign the C"nven-
ton have lost their influence over the
majority, who probably do no talk
so much. If the Convention were
rejected, the Queens authority would
revive, and the only curse would be
to hold the country IN her Majesty's
name, leayingit to the Beers to rebel,
or if they became wiser, to call a new
Session, and confirm the action Of
their delegates. The seven thousand
farmers who claim a territory as large
as France, and deny all rights to its
inhabitants, have an absurd amount
of sympathy in England; but it would
vanish with the rejection of an agree
ment which comedies to them every
thing for which they rose in arms,
and grants them every right Of self
government, except that of re-estab-
fishing slavery. The matter is so
difficult, that it must be left to the
Executive Government, but most
Englishmen feel that quite enough
has been done in the way Of corces-
sions.

A~bdurrahman Khan defeated his
rival, Ayoub, before Candahar, on
September 22nd. By a bold move
ment the Ameer placed his troops
between Candahar and iIerat, and SO
forced Ayoub to come out and give
him battle. Ayouh had with him
about $1,000 men and he commenced
the battle with his Candaharees in
front. his volunteer irregulars in the
centre, and his Cabulees behind. The
engagement was carried on by a Ian
guild cannonade, untiI the two Cabu-
lee regiments opened fire on the
irregulars, a mass of 10000 men,
probably badly armed, and they, with
the Candidates., broke and fled.
Two Heratee regiments stood firm,
but ultimately decided to join the
victor, who thus becomes rid of
Ayoub, u Candahar and swells
his army with 1000 regular troops.
Ayoub fled in hot haste, abandoning
IA of his 20 guns; but the pursuit
was very alf.hearted, and the num-
Der of the killed less than $50. The
battle, in fact, was in sporting par
lance, a /" cross" the Ameer only
striking after he had secured his
enemy's regular troops. He is now,
however, fairly secure Of his throne,
and may either attack Herat, and
force Ayoob over the frontier, or
make a compromise with him, under
which Ayoub will admit his sove-
reignty, but retain Herat as irremov-
able governor. The moral Of the affair
is clear to all men. The moment we
retire, affairs in Afghanistan take
their natural course, and the strong

The French are about, it is believed,
to embark in an enterprise which
may turn out as difficult as the con
quest of TuniS. Reinforcemcnts are
being sent to Cochin China, and it is
expected that the King of Anam will
be required to sign a treaty, binding
him to submit himself in all things to
the advice ofa French Resident. The
pretext is said to be piracy, but the
object is to control an exceedingly
rich country, full of mines, and with
a swarming population, 100000 Of
whom are Catholics. In pressing
forward, however, the French are
encountering what is now the serious
risk of long war with China. There
can be no doubt whatever that Anam
is a tributary State of China; that
the Court Of Pekin is determined that
lis feudatories shall not be with
drawn !; and that since the revindica-
ton of KuIdja, the Ministers have
ceased to deem resistance to Europe
impossible, They may march Tso's
army southwark through Yunnan,
where it a find it's way by the
graves itself has made, and, descen-
ding the rivers, enter Cochin China.
The French could, no doubt, defend
themselves but they would have to
dispatch 10000 men to protect
their subjects, and 10000 more for a
demonstration against Fekin itself.

The full narratives Of the loss OF
the fTeuton' which have reached
London reveal an unexpected danger
in naval construction. When the
ship struck, Two Of the six water
tight compartments were stove in,
but Captain Manning, an excellent
officer, who knew the ship well, WITS
not even alarmed. He was confident
that the four unbroken compartments
would keep the ship ahoat, and that
she could steam back into Simon's
Bay, and retained that confidence
till he was drowned. 1t was un-
founded, however. It appears, from
the evidence Of the carpenter, who
escaped, that the tremendous pres
sure Of the water against the inner
bulkheads-caused, of course, by the
pressure on enclosed water of the
force of the current created by the
ships motion-proved too much for
the strength of the partitions they
collapsed, the fires went out, and the
vessel, deprived Of motion, dived
into the water as suddenly as a hu-
man being might, drowning every
body not in the boats. The posi-
bility Of that accident-of enclosed
water acting like water in a hydrau-
lie press, and forcing out the COM
partment partitions-has never, we
imagine, struck constructors, and
raises the question whether in such
a calamity the wisest course would
net be TO stop the ship, and trust
wholly to boats and RATS. The
weight and wash of the water would
no of themselves crush in the bulk
heads.

The French Government is still
forwarding immense numbers of men
to Tunis and Algiers. On Monday,
2,600-not $4,000 as reported-set
sail from Toulon for Tunis, ard
during the week 10000 were despatch
ed from MarseiIles. TIE Generals
in the two provinces-for Tunis is a
French province, whatever its desig-
nation may be-are in command of
at least $4,000 men, and the cam
paign is to be opened by October 18th
or goth, if the commissariat arrange
ments can be completed by that time.
They are exceedingly imperfect, and
the troops suffer, especially from dy-
sentery. The Arabs in Tunis have
defeated the native Tunisian Army,
probably through t~reachery, and
have opened communication with
Bou Amema in Algier>, who on his
part, has succeeded in r~econciling the
three great tribes which furnished
Abd-el-Kader with his armies.
They were reluctant to obey Bou
Amema, who is by family a nobody;
but a French Officer, Colonel Negri-
er. swept all difficulties away. In Il
fit of fanatic scorn of fanaticism
which is thoroughly French, he order
ed the tomb OF a celebrated Mara
bout, SO sacred as to be an object Of
pilsrimage,to be RACED to the ground.
The order was obeyed, and the colo.
nists sem addresses of honour to
Colonel Negrier but the tribes de-
clared the act objectionable, and
waived all objections to following
Bou Amema'S standard. The outrage
will cost 10000 lives. 1t is strange
that the French, who so often initiate
the Romans, cannot even understand
the Roman policy towards conquer
ed creeds, which the English, who
neither initiate nor comprehend anti
guilty, always follow. Gallo would
have smiled at the Arabs, and made
a smooth road to their Marabout's
tomb; and so would an English Com
missioner, first putting up "a toll
gate.
