Loniton Patt Salt Gazette, Nor. 29, Another nnd a most formidable comptica- ton ina arisen fn South Africa, ‘The 'Trans- vaal Boers havo at Inst exchanged passive discontent for active resistance, aad a collis- fon with the Imperial troops seems Inevita- ble. The Boers, who linve never recognized British rule and never taken tho oath of alle- wiance, have alwaysdectinedtoe pay the taxes which the Government as levied, and on this the ‘l'ransvanl question has turned, If the Alliston, as now appears inevitable. takes place upon this question, It is to be feared that tha whole of the Dutch poptula- tlon may unite in resisting the Linperfal troops. Potchefatrom, the former Capital of Ue Transvaal, whore the Bours are reported to have resisted the excention of the Sherlt?s writ, is about 100 miles from Pretorta, and samesoventy from Rustenburg, the point from which troops have been dispatched, ‘Thera aro, or were, three infantry regiments in the territory,—the ‘I'wenty-first, the Fifty-elghth, and the Ninety-fourth,—but no cavalry, the First Dragoon Guards having been sent on toIndia, The Boers are all mounted, well armed, and aro to nlarge extent animated by bitter anlqosity towards the British Govern- mont. ‘Lic prospect at the moment, thore- fore, cannot be enlicd hopeftl Tho sitna- tion is nll the more disagreeable because this ‘Transvant question fs strictly Zmperial. ‘Ihe trouble In ‘Transkel--where Pondos, Tam- bookies, Griquns, and Bagutos are in arms against tis—narose out of the unjust action of the Colonial Government; but even there it sovms only too probable that the native ris- Ing may become o matter of Imperial con- cern, : THE GREAT BRITAIN, FLOGGING ANOLISIIED, Lonnox, Dec, &—In aceordanco with a provlous announcement, the Hritish Admi- ralty last night decided to abolish flogging in tho navy.

GERMAN HOSTILITY TO THETEWS—THEY ATE CHANGED WITH CHEATING, OVERIEACI- INQ, AND AUSORUING WEALTU—HoT Worps. - Berury, Dee, 6—Tho anti-Semitic peti- tion addressed to Prince Bismarck has been withdrawn from efreulatton in many parts of tho Empire. The protest of students in the capital has drawn siinilar manifestecs from almost all the Univorsity towns; and though there Is little doubt that the movement Js tleep rooted, yet the feellug against giving it public proclamation and offleial cogni- zance Is much too strong for those who set {ton foot. i . Tho second day's debate on the Jewish question In the Prusstan Chnimber of Depu- ties was longer and moro tumultuous than the first. ‘This was mainly duo to the fact that tho flericr and more ferocious spirits, In- cluding tho notorlous Court Chaplain, had been compelled to hold their arguaents and thelr eloquence In reserve till then, Plenty of personalities and pnrty recriminations were indulged in; scones and Interruptions wore of frequent occurrenca; and tho Presi- dent certainly had no reason to complain of tho Inok of muscular oxerclsa In tho usu of his boll; butthose who enine with open and impar- tinl minds In tho hops of profiting by really fresh arguments on the subject were doomed tobittordisappotntment. Herr Bachom,ailltor of tho Ultramontano Kolultsche Votkszcttung, opined that the prominent phase of the Jaw- ish question at present was tha economical ono, and it was not to'be denied that a very Jarge proportion of tho Hebrew population hhd exploited” thor Christian fellow sub- jects In an immoral and contemptiplo way, Tho speaker also poured out tho vinls of his indignation against cortain Jowlsh organs of tho preas on account of thelr loose and aggressive tone, In those tworespects he wished the anti-Semitic agitation all suc- oss, but he would accord tho Jews full ro- ligious Itberty. Merr Kichter, mighty in fig- ures and Princo Blsmarck’s bane, rose from ninone the Progressista to demolish the pre- ceding charges. There were, he sald, more Christlan than Jowish usurers, and it was a Jow, Dr. Lasker, who first exposed the bub- blo company (Griindung) swindles. The founder of tho largest popular savings-banice was also a Jew. Te held tha present agita- tlon to bo much more dangerous than that of tho Social Democrats, but white the chief of the latter had been expatrinted and oxpelled, the ringleaders of tho anli-Semitlo Leagua wero loft in the calm enjoyment of thelr of- fices and dignities, ‘The hand of tho Goy- ernment and of tho Chancellor was evidently behind the movomont, and It was to sounil and atthe sane tino to warn tha Govern- mont that the Interpellation had been tabled. Amid a buzz of Intenso oxcltement, followed by a deop, attentive sllanco, Herr Mofpredi- ger Stoeker, the declamntory champion of tho movoment, the arch-ngltator agalnst the Jows, tho anti-Semitic sledge-hammer at tumultuous meetings of tho Christlan Socini- Ist party, thon mounted the tribunc,—n man in the prime of life, with features singularly expressiyo of hls character, Which seems to be oxclualvely made up of dogmatism and do- flance, ‘ PASTOR STOECKER’S SPEKCI, Tio was well nware, he sald, of the respon: sibility he incurred in placing himself, a cler- gyman, at tho head of the Christian Socialist movement—of which tho distinguished feat- ures are (1) that it takes its stand on the ground of tho Christian faith and of love to King and country; (2) that It rejects social Demoerncy as uupractlenl, unchristion, and unpatriotle; (8) that it alms at 0 peaceful or- ganization or orkinanien andat paving the way for ueedtul and practical reforins In common with other clements in the State; and (4) that. it would fain losson the gulf between rich and poor and bring avout greater economical security. Well, tho ecclesiastical author of this mag- niticent scheme was fully aware of the Tesponslbility ho Incurred in acting as ho did, but behind him stood tmilions, and among them many Progresslsts, ny he could prove by letters, To hi tho Jowlsh question was uot one of religion, or rave, or political eman- clpation, but a soctai; economical one, It re- sulted from this, that half a million Jews, differing from the people fn thought aud feel ing, took up a position among them out of hormony with thelr numbers, Christianity Sof was alone nblo to solve the suctal question, and he had been specially led to take up the problem by the attacks nf the Jewish press on Christian Institutions, synods, and inis- slonary efforts, The reverend gentletan then went on to denounce the iniquities of the Jewish press, which $s very nearly synonymous with tho .liberal press, quoting, among other cnormities, tha enso of tho) §=6Prankfurter Zeitung, which attributed the fnereasing num: ber of suicides to Christianity and inill- tarlsm. Proceeding then to vindleate the elreulation of tho antl-Semitie petition, ha argued that tho Israelite Alliance was not the mere benevolent soctety generally sup- posed, but a powerful political combination; it wns a peril to all countries, and hat to be wrestled with. Passing thus from one sub- ject to another, and provoking tumults, Int- terrupttons, uproar, and erles of "Fle," the Herr Hofprediger concluded hls vehement tirade thus: “At the post-mortem exanina- ton of a body Intely there were present the district physician, the Inwyer, the surgeon, and tho fourth oficial, all Jews, and none but the corpse was German, Behold a pleture of the present!” Soveral speakers followed, amid an almost constant accompaniment of Jaughter, jeering, reertminations, hissing, taunting, and uproar, til at Jast, anid oo bustle, through which Prof. Virchow, of staid, severe, and aclentifie mind, was heard denouncing some conduct ‘on the purt of Herr Stoecker a3 insulting, the House rose and tett the Jewish question whero it found It VARIOUS.
