Witk the Orange Free State refrains trom entangling itself by any alilance with the Boers ngainst England, It does not nt- tempt to prevent practical demonstrations of sympathy on the part of its people. "Tho Bocrs of the Free State have lately held n meeting whereat they deelded to send' rellet (o thelr brethren in tho Transvaal In the shiape of lberal contributions of cattle and horses. Gen, Colley’s recent disastrous en- counter with the Boers is made lght of by the defented commander, who telegraphs that the thing wnas really of very little con- scquence apart from the oflicers and mon Kitled and theelny caused in the refief of thebesleged garrisons. M SwirT, oue of the Commlissloners who negotinted the Chinese Treaty, hos explained to o reporter that It does not in any way tend to confer the right of nnturalization wpon Chinese, Naturallzation Is nowhere n treaty right. The most favored nation .hns no treaty with us conferring that right, Nntur- allzatlon I8 kept by overy country as a reserved right to exerelse or not at its will, As to Lthe objection that the word *laborer”* willadmit of a dangerous Iatitude In the construetion of the treaty, Mr. Switt says there Is nothing In it. Congress has the power to construe the word deelsively. It may include skilled and unskiiled laborers, In this sense, o weaver Is as mueh o laborer as a hod-carrler. "The likelthood is that Con- gress will streteh the word even to Include physiclans and those. who Inbor with their brains, Gov. Con has ndopted the original "plan of making semi-oflicinl commuuiceations to the' Legislatura through the Speaker of tho Assembly. The mnjority of the Republican members of the Senate are not on good terms with the Governor, and hie perhaps secks to emplinsize bis displens- ure with them by eultivating more Intimnte relations with the Lower House. Spenker Sharpe put Mr, Husted In the chnirlast week, and himself took the floor to advoeate the creatlon of a'I'ax Commission, In the course of his specch he sald he was suthorized by the Governor tosay that i€ such a Commlssion shoultt be ordered the Democrats would have two members of It if it consisted of five, nnd threo members If it consisted of seven., By this clever ¢oncession many Democratie votes wero obtained for the bill, and it is now thought that it will pass both Ilouses nnd become a law. A WORD TO PRESIDENT HAYZES, Those who huve watched, even with the most friendly disposition, the closing nets of the present Adninistration ean scarcely fail to feol nn approhension that President Hayes may yet go out of oftice under o cloud, It there were no doubt ns to the wisdom of his selectlons for the'numerous oflices he Is fill- Ing, It would still be felt that it Is an Indeli- cate and questionable use of Exceutive poyw- er for the outgoini Presldent in the closing dnysof his ters to appolut so muny of the men swho ara to serve under the next Admiu- istratlon, aud thus, perhaps, embarrass his successor. Inpursuing this course, however, President Hayesseems notonly Inclined tolg uore one of the first principles of Clvil-Surv~ Ico reform,—~continuanco in office during zood behavlor, and promotion In cnse of va- cancyy—hbut rathor to gratify personal prefer- ences and spites. ’ The refusnl to reappoint Gen. Stewart I, Woodford as United States Attorney for the Southern District of New York can hardly be regarded In any other lght than as an la- tentlonal proveeative fiing at Senator Conk- ling, even st the cost of justice to a conpe- tent, and falthful, and populnr public oflicer, Gen. Woodford 18 one of the leading, men in the Republiean warty. 1o rankshigher than amero crenture of Senator Conkling's, how- ever friendly he may be to the New York Senntor. 1Ie 1s a gentleman of good repute and unexceptionable demeanor, an excellent lawger, and ond of tho most cloquent spenk- ers ln the country, Thero has been no net in Wiy eareor 8o far ns wo huve been uble to learn that warrants his discontinunnce In o positlon for which he I3 fn every way well fitted. 1€ Tresldent -Elayes can * muke no better use .of his Inst oflicial duys than' snerlficing cfilelent men to bis personnl splte at Senutor Conkllng, he might much botter aveld all now appolnt- ments and leave then to his successor. Such acourse, In any case, would be In much bet~ ter taste, It Is to bo hoped that the rumor to the cifect that the other New York ofllocs are to be manlpulated In the same manner s al- togothar unfounded, Ny the appointment of Jay Uoull’s at- torney to tho Suprame Bench ou purely per- sonal und nepotistie grounds he has commit- ted an act that may falrly bo terined sean- dulous as well as hmproper. Among other grave objections to placing Stanley Matthews in that position ts that ho Is opposed to the ‘Thnrman bl compelling the Pacific Rail- rouds to apply o purt of thelr net earnings on tho Iuterest of thelr defaultod bonds, which they have left the Government to pay whilo thoy pocketed the ecurnings, *Wiien tha bill was before the Senate Stanley Matthews strenuousfy fought fn behnif of Juy Gould, on the ground of alleged uneon- stltutlonality, Suppose that question agaln comes beforo the Suprame Court, how will Matthows declde? Why, of courss,\on the site of Gould and Stanford and ngnlust the Government, as he did'In the Senate.

"The chnnges In the finauclal conditions of tha past two or {lirce months have worked a change In the Secretary’s ovlnlon, for he was hopeful at one thue that 3 per cent securitics could bo placed on tho mnrket at par. It is fairto say, howeyer, that tho conditions under which lie was willing to try the oxperlment were very different from those which have been lnposed by the Ilouse bill.” Jiis theory was that a portion of the maturing bonds could be refunded (nto short- time Treasury certificates, and “the re- mainder mte Jong-time bonds,~—nn arrangement whiel was designed to offer to surplus capltal the attraction of a call-lonn, which Is generally made at o rate of interest lower than the prevalling rate, and to trusts funds the ndvantages of an investment for a fong term, The bill passed by the Ilouse, liowever, completely Ignores both these cone siderations, ns the certlfieates provided for wmny run ten years, and the bonds eannot run longer than that term. Llence the llouse schiome will accomuiodate nelther of thetwo classes of funds which would be likely to Invest In securities Learing the lowest rate of Interost. Secretary Sherman was also prudent enough to suggest that certain dis- cretlon as to time and interest be reposed in the Secretary of tho Treasury, in orderto guard against the failure of any arbitrary and nelnstic attempt: but this suggestion was also Ignored by the House, The condlitions to-dny are not the snmne g those which, a few montha ngo, suggosted to Secretary Sherman tho feasibility of ‘n 8 per cent loan. 'The money narket hns tight- ened considerably ag compared with-that thme. Plie enormous rise In stocks has ab- sorbed a good share of the floating capltal, New enterprises have provided employment for considerable money, amtl confidence hns Inereased to an extent which induces men to risk their money in business aud speculation, Henea 1t Is “doubttul now whethor n 3 per cent luan could bo negotlated at par even untler the more favorable terms proposed somo tune sinee by Secretary Sherman; therois scarcelyn doubt that the scheme agreed upon - in the Ilouse ™ of fep- resentatives will be ot fuil ure, it it bo attempted. TFortunately, Seeretary Sherman's Boston speech holds out the prospect that the rato of nterest will Le lucreased to 83 per cent before the bill shall be finally adopted. “I bolieve,” he sald, * that the good sense of Congress. will conclude that It 18 best to offer a bond beat- ing 8! per cent and kept within short perl- ods of refemption,. maintain the Sinking- Fund, and, perhaps, npply the greater amount. of surplus revenue to thelr payment,” It is unlikely that Secretary Sherman would have expressed hiwself In this fashion unless’ he had some reason to bc{lp\'c_nlut lig wns acti- ally outllning the probable ontcome of the refunding profect. Otherwise, he wonld linve been more disposed to arouse tho senti- ment of Boston to the danger of a fallure to refund, under the probable actlon of Con- gress, 'One thing Is certaln: -the rapld debt-payers cannot hope to attain refunding at the lowest rate of interest; onaorthe other of the two conslderations must be sae- rificed, .

Tho Russians, howover, have never yet conguered any of the tribes In Purkestan without annexing some of thelr territory, and if they propose to hold Turkestan or any part of It there is no stronger or more strategleal point to secure'thelr occupation than Merv, which Is not only the central point of the great Aslatic commercinl highways that con- trol the rich frade of that region, but Is the natural bse of operations against Persin and Afghanistan, and thus of the highest in- portance frotn a military point of view. Itis the key to Cabul, and onee In possession of Merv the Rugsians would be within a fort- night's distance of Ilerat, and 100 wmlles nenrer to It than the Engilsh would be cither at Cabul or Candahar. The unensiness of the English War Ofllco s therefore enstly understood, for In cnse Russia ocenples Merv she is virtunle 1y menacing the frontlers of Afghanistan and Indin, With such n temptation before Russia, which Is all the stronger becauss the British troops. have been withdrawn from Afghanistan, it may be entlrely probablo that she will continue her advance untit she holds all of Turkestan u her grasp. If sho has been merely bent upon an errand of re- venge and to make good the losses which the ‘I'urcomans of Geok-Tope have Inflicted upon her arms, she will return to the Caspian, but, it 1s to be taken Into account that the Turco~ mans of Merv were assisting thelr brethren at (ieok-Tepe, and that such a pretext would Justify her in an advance against the former city.
