PEACE PROPOSALS.
It may be that the object of President KRUGSK's visit to President STEV is the discussion of peace proposals, for the Boers must by now have come to the conclusion that the power of Britain is more than they fully realized, but, at the same time, we do not imagine that the proposals are likely to prove satisfactory. The only ones that the British nation would be inclined to accept at the present moment would he of such a nature that British supremacy in South Africa would be established once and for always, in fact, ja demand would, we imagine, be made for the disarmament of the Boers, the dismant. ling of their forts and the handing in of tlucir We have allegiance to the British crown. received too severe a lesson to make a mistake similar to that of 1881 and we do not think that the sturdy Boers have yet re ceived a sufficient mauling to make them

LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL.
We give below a full account of tic Meeting of the Legislative Council held yesterday, omitting what has already appeared.
THE POST OFFICE ORDINANCE.: The Attorney General said he had the honour to move the second reading of a B entitled an Ordinance to further amend the Post Office Ordinance, 1887. Since the ill was read a first time he had had the opportunity of considering it, more fully, and he had come to the conclusion that the second faction as it
stood in the Bill was unnecessary, because it appears that the Governor has power to make regulations for the performance of the duties of any Goverment officer. But there was another matter which had not been put in the sidered should have been put in, and when the -fill-on-the-first-reading and which he con

The Acting Colonial Secretary seconded and The Council went into Committee to con- sider the Bill clause by clause. The following section was substituted for clause In all cases in which either no postage or insufficient postage on correspondence "should have been paid by the sender, double such postage or double the deficiency in such postage should be paid by the person to whom the corres pondence was addressed on the delivery thereof to him; but if the correspondence be refused, or the party to whom it was addressed should be dead, cannot be found, the writer or sender should pay double such postage or double the deficiency of postage.

what the honourable member had said, but where it was a question of landlords he failed to see the force of his remarks, and would, further point out that the law as it stood was utterly absurd. This sub-section of section 13 referred various.matters, including the prevention of the manufacture or sale of unsound, adulterated, ar unwholesome food. If the Inspector found some tollen iicar in the inarket was he to give. a man seven days' notice, to destroy it? Then again, it included the manufacture and sale of paisous and the sale of une sound and adulterated drugs. Then if a man failed to report a case of plague the Sanitary Board could not successfully prosecute him until they have given seven days notice. The Board had consulted the law officers of the Crown and had been advised that reasonable notice meads
at least seven days notice. The honourabit member seemed to think that 24-hours' notice should be sufficient for white-washing, but they had been advised in the contrary, and in all cases had been obliged to give seven days' notice. The result was that at the beginning. at every lime-washing season the Board was careful to send out notites reminding landlords, that it was their duty within a given time to have their premises lime-washed. Then the inspectors go round and report that such and such houses have not been lime-washed. Then the Board hard to iste other notices, and if these had no effect the prosecution followed; † He could assure the Board that as the law stood it was utterly impossible to carry the lime-wash- ing regulations out. The Board did not recom end an alteration of the Jaw without good law they would gladly do so; but things had reason. If they could do without ainending the come to a deadlock, and that was the reason why the Board asked the Government to institute, this legislation.
