‘Oa the other hand, the majority of the |Zulus are preparing to welcome their

The wisdom of Cetewayo

their best to maintain it,

The Patriot coutends (1) that the | Council should not be aboiished, because | its abolition would deprive Property- | holders, as distinguished for their sous, of the right to vote at Council elections, and | 2) that two Chambars are oecessary. |

Now, we ask every intelligent, econo: | mical Property-holder in the Proviuce to | coosider well the question, “ What good | has the exercise of my right to vote in| Legislative Council elections ever done | or obtained for me, for Preperty-holders , ie general, and for the Province at large, | that. I should at the next eleciion vote to; maintain it at a cost of six or seven| thousand dollars a year? Letthe records! be brought down. Let every beueflcial | Act originating with the Council and| every bad Act thrown out by the Council c Let this be done ;/} the

be conned and noted. and we veuture the assertion that, | unanimous reply will be, “the right to) vote in the Legislative Council elections | is a Worthless right; let the Council be eut dowa like a dead and rotten tree | which is cumbering the ground,”

The contention of the Patriot that this little Province cannot do without a| second Chamber is in defiance experience of the immense Province of} Ontario, and of all other Provinces and | States in which the second Chamber has | been abolished. These Provinces and | States have, it is true, their troubles aud} difficulties—they will be having troubles | and difficulties until the end of ne | world. But, do we hear the faiutest whisper of a desire to have the ebolished Chambers re-established? We do not.

Consider the scope and character of Provincial legislation, Do we require a complicated machinery aud a large num- ber of men, at great expense, to authorize the opening of a road, the building of a bridge or whart, the amendment of some little detail in the school law, the incor- poration of some local company, or the passage of an act to prohibit the runuing at large of certain horses, cattle, sheep, pigs and geese? We do not.

It is natural for meu (aod women,too) to value many thiogs the usefulness and the beauty of which are gone. We can sympathize with this feeling. It is very pleasing to see au old horse or an old dog, or anything which has done good service in days that are past, kept about the farm and nourished in its old age aud decrepitude. But the Legislative Councel has no such claims upon the affection of our pronecty, helene Besides it.eests more than the Province can now afford without submitting to grievous taxation.

We hope the vote in the coming elec- tion will be decisive for abolition.

Disastrous to the English Harvest.

The news to-day informs us of the serious damage sustaiued by the English harvest. The news is specially deplor- able because latest English papers told us that the gloom was passing from the farmers’ face since the brilliant weather at the beginning of Angust had ripened the corn with ucusual suddenness. The sanguine expectations have now been shattered, and the fair dream has

Inherent defects in his new system inmay soon tear the vative kingdom asunder. Still, it seems that the Home Govern- ment have acted fairly in the matter, and will receive the blessings of, at least the numerable wives of the sable King and the Zulu prayers of his mavifold children. OE Ee > An Interesting Decision.

An interesting decision in a will case was recently giveu in an Engiish Chancery Court. An eccentric old lady had directed her trustees to cause the windows and doors of every room in her dwelling-hous« to be securely bricked and bearded up

, wuh every article of furniture, even to the

clock, in its place, and the blockade to h« kept up for twenty years. The trustee: Were granted a certain benefit on condition of carrying out the instructions of the wi!! to the letter.

‘Vice-Chancellor Bacon said that in this had endowed neither a

college or acat; and he directed the trustees

| tounseal and release all this at present useless

property. The directions in the will pro viding fer the so-called .blockade must )b deciaread ineffectual, and the property mas‘ be distributed as undisposed of real aix

| persoval estate,”

Hence it appears that there is a limit to one’s night to do what he will with his own it he wills to do nothing with it, or perhaps we; should say a limit to one’s right to tie up property after it is and can be no longer

| Telegraphic from the Seat of War.

Lonpon, Sept. 1.

The Times’ Alexandria correspondent says: ‘‘ News has been received from

| Cairo that at the meeting of the notables,

August 29th, at which the Governor of Ismailia was present, speeches were made. recognizing Arabi as the sole ruler of Egypt. The Prefect of Police, on hearing this, declared ayaimst Arabi, and ordered the arrest of all persons present at the meeting. He is organizing a Turkish police for the protection of the Khedive’s interests. The Governor of El Arish has declared for Arabi Pasha, and has influenc- ed two tribes of Bedeuins in his favor.”

ALEXANDEIA, Sept. 1

News has been received from the interior that Arabi Pasha has been selling European properties to the natives. ‘Several’ well known properties belonging te Europeans have been confiscated and sold, and the names of the purchasers given.

General Wvod has contracted his lines at Ramleh, thus strengthening his position

Arabi Pasha publishes in Cairo daily reports of English defeats with immense losses.

A fresh reconnoissance shows Tel E! Kebir strongly entrenched, the fresh water canal forming a natural defence.

There is reason to suppose that Arabi Pasha forced many of his men to work on the trenches even in chains, as two man- acles covered with blood were found on the field.

Sixty-nine Egyptians siill remain on the scene of the cavalry charge.

Ismaizia, Sept. 1.

On Thursday morning, General Wilkin- son, in command of the Indian cavalry, conducted a reconnoissance on the right and Col. Tulloch on the left. We got within sight of the enemy's lines, his pickets falling back, and sketches were made of his position, which was not cou- sidered to be so strong as reported.

After the return of the Indian cavalry from a reconnoitering expedition yester day a. m., the enemy’s cavalry returned the

given way to dark depression. ‘The re- turns made to the Mark Lane Express, at the end of July, represented the wheat crop as very little better than that

of last year; the barley crop not up to the average; oats and

beans somewhat better, and turnips flourishing in England, bat a partial fail- ure in Scotland. The [rish crops are there spoken of as less favorable than those of iast year. The hope of the English farmer, this year, was tc get the crops well up in season, which being done, he reckoned to realize a much larger all-round produce than that of last year. This hope is now gone, and once more the Old Country must undergo the inevitable depression that follows a damaged harvest.

Cetewayo’s Return.

Tue special despatch to Tue Examr- NER, last Saturday, brought the news that Cetewayo had sailed for his king- dom. Some weeks before that time, Lord Kimberley had informed the Zuln King of the decision of Her Majesty's Government. tious given in the British Parliament, the King isto be restored ‘‘with proper safeguards and conditions.” Our readers will remember that many,“ ‘he Zalu chiefs objected to the retura*s Jetewayo.

The “safeguards” are evidentsy intended

to secure these chiefs in the independent possession of their lands. John Duun and the native kinglets will remain in undisturbed possession of the land they now hold, which land convepiently lies between Natal and the Umy River, formiug au independent grouud een the colonists and the subjects o wayo. The #erritories to the

the Umvalosi will be gov by

of the

King, and eight out of the thi chiefs have offered his Majesty their aDce.

The Colonists at Durbap are naturally grieved at the restoration, and are busy at memorials and meetings protesting against the return of Cetewayo, The

| Gen. Lowe is concentrating the entire |cavalry, including three Indian regiments, | at this point.

A wounded Egyptian officer, who has

been lying upon the field since Monday’: fight, says the Bedouin’s killed all the wounded they found on the field who wer not Mussulmans. The affair of the 26th, caused much depression at Tel el Kebir’, but Arabi, upon arriving there, personally }sent troops forward to attack Kassassin. | B-fovre despatching them upon their mis/ sivn he made asbort speech, sayipg that our movement in their rear had thrown the |Egyptian plans of defence into complete , confusion, and that it was absolutely neces- sary to defeat the enemy.
