CHARLESTON harbor will get a hun dred thousand dollars this year for harbor improvements. JuDGE BOND has decided that there is no United States law to punish a manager for stuffing . a ballot box. I As law makers, Congressmen are not a success, AFOUANISTAN is a nice sort of place. ' The Afghans have not equaled. the Zulus in success against John Bnll, but they find no difficulty in making It lively for each -other. When the British marched upon Afghanistan, and Shere All fled to Prussia, his son, Yakoob Khan,, whom ho had previously thrown -in prison, was elevated to the throne under Rritish auspices. But Yakoob's transition from the dungeon to the palace threatens not to be permanent. Ilis subjects are quarreling among them selves; and when Yakoob Khan sent a cavalry regiment to Kokistan to I quell disturbances among the tribes there, both factions suspended hostili ties and attacked and routed the regiment. A Roar from the African Lion. - t The massacre of Custer's army by a Sitting Bull and his braves finds a I parallel in a recent British reverse in N Africa. To the northwest of Cape I Colony in Southern Africa and bor- i dering on the British possessions is a c territory of indefinite extent, and c known by the euphonious name of r "The Zulu Country." It is inhabi- c tated by a warlike race of savages who t. carne from further north a century c ago, and under the lead of a chief C named Chaka overran the country as far south as Natal. The Zulus at that time had a regular military or- i ganization, consisting of regiments of , a thousand inen each, distinguished Ib by the color of their shields. In 1810 t they mustered forty thotisan,l warriors, i The Zulus have always been the most formidable barrier- to British Con- a qest. The .recent disposition of p Great Britain to annex Caflland, a the adjoining territory, filled the 11 Zulus with alarm, and under the t command of their chief, t:etywavo, t they commenced hostilities a year o ago.- The campaign languished last cl year and the British became over confident. On the 21st of January, c however, a British column undle' t .n Lord Chelmsf'ord, consisting of a ri battalion, a baittery, and six hundred ii native auxiliaries, was tterly annihi- Il lated by a force of' Zulus, estirnated(e at twenty thousand; two majors, four d captains, twelve lieutenants and a e quartermaster, two captains of the fl 1toyal artillery, a colonel, captain, four lieutenants anId surgeoni maijor e of' engineers, besides twventy-one e other British officers conmmanding the t native levies, and five hundred ot' the ~ line being killed. The substantial ~ fruits of victory were a valuable convoy of 102 wagons, 1,000 oxen, ~ two cannon, 400 shot and shell,. 1,000 s rifles, 250,000 rounds of ammunition, d 60,000 p)ound(s weight of provisions" and the colors of the Twventy-fourth r regiment. Th~e ross of the Zulus Is 3 estimated at five thousand men, . though this is mere guesswork. The ~ savages are said to have been armed with breech loading firearms and to have shown great military skill. Lord Chelmsford, who was out re connoiteFing with a dlet achment at the time of the battle, has been forced to retreat, and the greatest alarm exists 'V In the Englieh colony,. This serious reverse will embolden all the native tribes andl render inevitable a pr~o longed and serious contest. The history of the world is one continued series of victories of civilization ever barbarism, but when a the savage happens to get in a blow he makes it tell. Sitting Bull and Cetywayo must be classed among the military suecesses of the nineteenth eentury, - A Little Mixed.. The Winnsboro NEa AND' UE,RALDY - says the Chzroniele blundered the ' other day when it said the Legisla ture of South Carolina consisted of one hundred and twenty-f'our memn bers, and that Senator Butler received sixty-five votes, or more than a ma jority,. It explains that the Carolina ~Legi'slature consisted of one hundred and fifty-seven members andI that seventy-nine constituted a quorum. In the election for Senator seventy nine votes were cast, of whfehz Gener al Butler received sixty--five, a ma jotity of the quorum, W e are thank ful for the correction, but Is not our Winnsboro contemporary "muddledI" a little when It says i."At first, ex eluding eight xmembers from .lkige field and Laurens, the Demooers huu one Phtndred and ft-szx Fmembers' in the House), anl the Radicals onej hundrel aid si.r/ y, a quoi'um of the Itoutse con,i:ting -l sixt v-1 bree." It the vhole ntumber of ieiabers of the Ilouse was one llundred and t weity four, how could the Deiocrats have 0110 hlundred and lflv-six anld tle Radicals one hindre(1 ani(l sixty? If these figures are correct, the total number of legislators was three hun dred and forty-nine, a <iuoruili was one hundred and sevent y-five and General Butler was not elected. But as Tim NEwS AxN IJERALD and the Chronicle agree that he was elected, it is evident that tle office arithiaeties are it little "of'" this year- and need revising. At at events the Senate has the figures and Butler has the seat, and ill continue to keep it. Aluqusta Chronicle and .Sentincl. We humbly ackniiowledge the corn, though protest that it was not corn tvhiskey. Elated with the fact that whe had at last caught our Augusta 'ricnd napping, we gave our Faber mo extra whittle and went for him1. Jurs was the task and privilego of tetting the whole newspaper world tright on the confusion worse con bunded of South Carolina's polities.. 3ut when we awoke next morning t mtid saw that "some one hod blunder d" we tore out a few handfuls of lair, and then calmly awaited the nevitable. It was milder than we nd a right to expect. It is true we lever attended the EIiistman Business 'ollege, and meekly confess our niability to draw birds of paradise nd little fishes with a single stroke f a pen, or to write the ten con aandllents ind the emancipation roclatnation on a ten cent piece, but ve do not writo villainouslv enough o make "fifty-six" read Oa hature(l .n( fifty-six,'' or ''sixty" appear "a mnndrod and sixty." Nevertheless, cy are nlow convinced that the mental hbor and care re(uired for an abso utely correct statement. of the facts onnected with the Butler-Corbin ase would send any person to the iad-hIouse, and we retire ill disgust, onsoling ourselves with the belief lat, not evenh Senator Bitler himself an tell the MOry straight.
