'THE' ACQUISITION OF THE
-TRANSVAAL.
If the war-olbad in the Brat did
did not so surgó a opado in the phone dye, IC is probaste that, the policy of the Government in Seeth Afrian world excite general interent, and par- hapi would provoke muat difference of opinion. Is cannot be questioned that the negotiatione of Sir Theophilus Shepatons with the Tranny sal Government base just now reached a very deli- cafo and oritical stage. The special acasion of the Volkerund at Pretoria, which was convened about the middle of February, was olosed after some very unsatisfactory debatea lusting-ofer. four weeks. The proposals for Confederation, based upon Lord Carnarvon's Bill, which Sir Ti Shepstone was authorized to submit to the Trans. val Government, wora peremptorily rajaotud by the majarity of the Volksraad. The same party bad previously rejected President Burgers" scheme of reforms, though the omptineen of the public Treasury, is non-payment of officials, the contempt generally expressed for law, and the growing power of armed adventures, were sufflaient proafe that nonreby. wite near at hand. Then I was that Bir Theophilus Skiupatona spoke ent; bo told the Boers that the British Government, though most unwilling to interfere with the indapan. denge of the Transvaal State, and though it might endure even anareby at its door ander ordinary conditions, could not trifle with the riske which accompany austoby in South' Afric. If the British Envoy left Protoria without arriping at any understanding with the Government and the Legislature, the inevitable rasult would be, in the opinion of Sir T. Shep- stone and others who know the country and the people thoroughly, an inroad of the bafire. tribes surrounding the Tranavant, and a ap riting of thea who sullenly acknowledge the authority of the Buors. The consequences, -even were they coufnod to the territory of the Tranovag alone, would be too horrible for con- Templation. It is, no desɑt, an extravagant calculation which sete down the number of-the "white Inhabitants of the Republio at 50.000, and probably ball that number would be nearer the Truth. But the natives within the boundaries claimed for themselves by the Boera aro at least .090,000, and y cesibly thricens.many. A struggle Taksiste frana and thais blogtsubjects world be serions, wore it simply hand to "band.. but of course the most formidable danger sculd come from without. The Zulu King has 40,000 Warriore, well armed, disciplined, and divided iuto "regiments," who hate the Boere with a vehemence scarcely to be paralleled the bis tory oLanvigo races. The removal of English protection from, the Transenal, and SirTA Shepstonele- departure-from-Protozin after the rejection of nie, offore, would, segu, to nignity nothing less than thie-the Zulne would considor themselves abeolved from all their plodges of peace, and Getawayo would make aring attempt to realize bis okerished schemes of con- queat. His detestation of the Boare has been sharpened by ecurn aiuce his vassal Seoccosai defeated President Burgers' commando” and killed the filibnetering chist Ton Sobtickmann, But Catewayo's attack would be the eigual for Brising of all the natives within the TranEVAL),
