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.

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
