THE TIMES, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 9, 1875. SOUTHERN AFRICA. AS OCCASIONAL OORKXMVXDKNT.) MAUITZnCHO, SpT. 3. Sir Garnet Wolseley Las handed over tho Government of Natal to his successor, Sir II cur Bulwcr, had loavca to day for England, rid the Cax, by the steamer which carries this letUr I1U administration of aUkirs has lasted iust fire months, and Las been marked by an activity and thoroughness positively startling to timid and quiet going folks.

A few da after his arrival, ho published the Hill for amending th Constitution of the Colony. Tho Legislative Council ms then called together, and the llill, withsomo judicious and advantageous con cions, waa passed and sont homo' for the Royal assent. Sir Garnet then set out on a tedious and laborious, but excessively interesting, ox waggon journey through the country districts and native locations, detaching! two of his Staff Colonel Colley and Major Butler on semi official missions to the neighbouring Bute. Colonel Colley made a rapid trip to the Transvaal Republic and the Portuguese settlement of Delogoa Bay and Major liutler visited the OrangoxVce State, returning rid the Diamond fields and liasuto Land, bir Garnet him self got back to Maritrburg after six weeks of trekking" and camping oat, and immoiiately set to work making preparations for the Session of Council shortly to be held. Abont five aad twenty draught Bills havo already been published in the 7cMc, and they deal with almost erery question affecting the welfare of tho Colony; Tho construction of railways with the provision of tho necessary funds is the principal feature of tho forthcoming legislation.

The taxes have bad to be increased, for you cannot bavo a railway without paying for it, and, as it is only fair that the native population should boar some of the burden, the Hut Tax has been raised from 7s. to lis. a hut the Marriage Tax, a recognition of polygamy, being at the camo timo remitted. The result of this give and take transaction is that tho natives will pay about 50,000 instead of 41,000 a year. Other Bills relating to the native question are to be brought forward, and altogether the Legislative Council will havo its hands full of trork.

Tho Colonial Estimates have been taken in hand and nreDored in a different and clearer form to that heretofore in vogue, and a Committee on Public Departments have furnished a Report full di practical recommendations for the simplification of business. Major Butler has written a special Report on Colonel Colley has been deciding between Uiahop Uolenso and a magistrate as to whether the latter, when sent to arrest a native offender 17 years ago, fired a pistol and wounded a man in the leg. This seems a trivial and profitless i Vi I. 1 .3 1 matter, ana: so as oui jiu uoeu naunni necessary by the recent course of events and it has given a great deal of trouble. What with Com mitteea and Commissions sitting from 7 in the wnmimr onwards, added to tho conduct of the ordinary aflsirs of a colony which seems to havo as much business in its Government as though it were nn Empire, tbo brilliant Stafr," as the newspapers bore always call Sir Garnet's officers, and the per manent officials have bad enough to do lately.

Sir Garnet's devotion to his work has borne good fruit in the public mind of A few there are so onnosod to the recent addition of nominees to the Legislature that they aro slow to believe any good can come to the colony from his administration but the great majority of colonista think otherwise, and loos forward to a period of activity and prosperity. Already there seems a greater stir throughout the country more business doing, more passengers arriving by the mail steamers, than five i months" ago. hiatal is now thoroughly well to be well advertised is an essential of success in greater affairs than shopkeeping. Langalibalele should have a statue in the, marketplace I Mr. Froude has been here, hut is leaving for the Cape by this steamer.

After the ungracious reception of the proposal for a Conference by the Moltens Ministry at Cape Town, it was Lord Carnarvon's wish that the Conference should be held liere at Maritcburg by thoso States willing to take part in it The Uape people, however, have shown themselves so thoroughly in favour of the Conference, and have so strongly expressed their disapproval of the hasty conduct of their Ministry, that there is still a hope that the latter may reconsider the step they have taken, and that the Conference may yet be Veld at Cape Town. It is with this Kope that Mr. Froudo is returning to the Cape Coli ny, and let us hope it will ibe realized lor a Conference of South African State with the Cape Colony, left bat would be but a one horse as Americans say. Mr. Froudo inade an excellent speech on the subject at the farewell dinner given by thellayar of Durban to Sir Garnet two days ago.

Sir Qenry BarkJy is up at thf Diamond Fields, where the troops sent up at great cost from Cape Town to keep order still remain. (The finances and general affairs of this colony of Grwualaad West are in an nnsatiifactory state, and the fear of the Cape ifirdsiers that they wffl be saddled with them is one of tho reasons "'of their disinclination to consider Confederation. One would think, however, that Confederation might easily bo so arranged that Griqualand West would still be, responsible for its own debtSjWhile si for tbe responsibility of gov ern ing the diamond miners, that, surely, is not much of an objection. Though ready' to welcome the coming, speed the parting guest we are all heartily sorry to lose Sir Garnet Wolseley. Lord Carnarvon did wise thing when he chose Sir' Garnet for this "delicate for certainly no Constitn MM tt SMUVmUVU in a manner more tion was agreeable, to all concerned.

Even the opponents of Hbe measure confess this, and acknowledge as heartily as any one the nigh personal qualities of the Governor whoso policy they dissent from. Nor has Sir Garnet limited himself, as I have shown, to amending the Every department of the. administration of the colony has felt his presence every difficulty he has grappled with, and though, of course, his work has not yet borne its full fruit, there can be little doubt that the colony will long feel the benefit' of this his short reign of five months. It is a case of now or never with NataL We, who a few months ago were little known, are now famous. Railways are about to be constructed, the Native difficulty is taken in hand, the machinery of Government has been reorganized throughout by an able administrator, and if we do not prosper now it may safely be said that we have not tho elements of success in us.

But. I believe that we shall prosper, and that the tokens of prosperity are already visible. Less politics, more prosperity that is all we want Tbe little band of six persons who left Padding ton on a cold February evening six months ago, and who bavo worked together under their chief ever since, with one common devotion to him and to their task, is now broken Up for ever, for I do not suppose that all its members will ever unite again. Colonel Colley goes, via to join his regiment In India Mr. Napier Proomo stays in Natal as Colonial Secretary Major Butler, Major Brackeubury, and Lord Gifford return with Sir Garnet.

Natal welcomes a new Governor, and enters upon a new era. That it will be a prosperous one I fully believe, and a little prosperity will soon solve our political dim oolties. It, is not by agitation or opposition, but by attention to more immediato afairs, by the attraction of immigration by the construction of railways, that Natalmay nope, soon to attain a siagb of growth in which the nominee member added to her Council in a critical timo may be dispensed with in which, either in federation with other Colonies or independently, she may attain to responsible Government, tha proper ambition and legitimate goal of every British Colony. That day may be nearer than is suspected I believe it to be only a very few years distant, have of attracting immigration, and I wish that anything I could write could persuade omigranta 'to try Ifatil in greater numbers than they have yet done? Tho artisan or Ubourer will find here high wages and plenty of work, with th6 Diamond fietds in their full tide of prosperity, and incipient gold fields which, may grow to; no on knows what proportions, near him when he wants a change' He may hare a nativo servant to wait upon himTat 25s. a month, food included.

will spoil him and make him lazy, trat.it fa 'pleasant and may be holdout as an Inducement. Ttare is no Colony which1 want emigrants more than Natal and none which cfcrs them greater inducement. I beUere Natal to the Colony to which the poor gentleman, from 500 to 1,000 of capital, may safely, rentnte to bring his family; With i this sum lie eaii settle hJaself pretty i comfertably, and do petty wtll, If hs not fool, so many poor gentlemen unfortunately are. It is always to be remembered that over and abovo overvthins we i have the luxury of a matchless climate. Ihe last, five months have boon pure and delicious sunshine.

There is something miraculous in tho unvarying perfection of Natal winter weather. In the summer it is hot in the middlo iof tho Hay there is rain with thunder and lightning in the afternoon, but oven the summer is pleasureable. Under our skies invalids bocomo robust. Tho voyage is onlv 35 days, with breaks at Madeira, St Helena, ana tho Cape, and I wonder that your London doctors, who send men to tho Andes and other places, have not included Natal in their prescriptions. As for sport, there is not very much, though still some in Natal itself, but wo aro closo to the best of iport.

In eight days from Muritzburg you may bo among the big game, ana, you inauaj well, you may pay the expenses of your expedition with your hunting trophies. Sir Ilenry ISulwor has boon well received in tne Colony, and has created a most favourable impression by tho manner in which, in his reply to, tho address presented to him on landing and in his speech at tho farewell dinner to Sir Garnet Wolseley, he has identified himself with Natal and its people. (rSOM Ail OCCASIONAL COEXESrOSDXXT.) CAPETOWN, 8MT. 10. To day the Donald Currio steamship Windsor Castlo carries back to England Sir Garnet Wolseley and some of the members of his Staff, who, after a short administration of five months in Natsl, may add to their former deserved motto Ubvjue" that of Vtni, vidi, rUL" Sir Garnet's stay at Capetown has been very limited, but advantage was taken of it to welcome him at a public ball in the Commercial Exchange last evening.

The Flying Squadron arrived a day or two previous, and Admiral Lambert and the officers of tho Narcissus, Immortality, Topaze, Newcastle, and Raleigh were also guests. Sir Henry Barkly was absont, beingstill in Griqualand West, but the Lieutenant Governor, Sir A. Cunnynghame, and the military staff were present. Altogether tho gathering was one of the most brilliant the Cape citizens have had for a long timo past. Tbe Confederation question is still being eagerly discussed.

A second despatch from Earl Carnarvon to Sir Henry Barkly, written after receiving the Cape Ministerial minute on his former one, has been published. It is acknowledged to be a model of statesmanlike courtesy, it begins by expressing regret that the Ministers had not followed the Eractice always adopted in other large Colonies aving responsible Governments, of making a statement in explanation of the course taken by them when they rejected the suggestions of the Imperial Government, proposing a Conference of the South African Colonies and States. It disavows any intention of dictation and while admitting that it might have been better to abstain from the mention of anv names of designated representatives, shows that the Colony was loft the option of substituting other names if desired. But upon the point that the suggestion for any such Conference should have, originated with the Cape Government, and that, the rights of self govern ment conceded to this Colony were violated oy toe proposal, emanating from the Imperial authorities, Lorn Carnarvon remarks I foist it is seedless for is to say that there is ne ens mam anxlooa tkftB I tin to IMMtt and iOTOOrt tb rUht of the Colonies to exmise an uaeoatroUed discretion la the ki'miabtnthm of their affairs, when once It has been deemed advisable that they should be placed under responsible uoverament. tfut, on tne ower nsaa, a cannot too strongly and distinctly protect arsinit say sash daetnn ma that Har llaiastv's Government, in courteously inviting; a eronp Colonial Governments sad independent States to deliberate upon questions of common interest, be cause tbey do not previously obtain tn eonsent oi one tin (la member of that croup to such a proposal, therefor iafrure the rif hts of that Government, should it tot of this invitation.

It has. of course, been my strong desire that the great and important Colony over which you preside sbould take a part, and, I may say, a lmdiBf. nari. in a Conf annea at which so ereat a Question as the Confederation of some or all of the Governments of South Africa would probably receive serious discussion. But Her Majesty's Government are.

alone in a position to invite communities wholly independent of each other to meet and confer and if it ware not coaveaient to the Coveroxeeat or. Parliament of the Cap (or oi any other Colony or State) to accept saeh an invitation, it mibt, I think, have sufficed to give a friendly intimstion to that effect As I was careful to explala in mv former despatch, the actios of each party would hare been unooa trolUd, and I should have desired to place no pressure on itadeLio. His Lordship adds that he still desires that the Cape ahould take a part in the Conference and he hopes that upon mature consideration the Ministers will see reason to alter tbe course they have adopted, and he trusts that the Conference will meet this year. It the Cape Colony still, refuses to take part, the Conference may be advantageously held by the Republics, together' with Natal and Griqualand. West.

In aneh a case, hia ExeellencT Sir Henry Barkly, is instructed to confer with Lieutenant Governor Bulwer and hand him th instructions, and let him preside over the Conference, which will be held at Maritzburs. There are important matters to be considered affect ina the TransvaaL NataL the Arbitration question of Delasoa and the hostile attitude of tho itXurUf ana rns xjorasmp uunxs Deneas may uu derived by interchango of opinion upon these and other matters of direct interest to the Cape Colony. He assures tho Ministers he dees not desire to interfere with questions, or limit their discretion in matters in which they are responsible he merely explains the limit within which the authority and jurisdictin of the Imperial Government on tho one hand and Colony on the other bavo been in other cases adrantageouily exercised, and be would not bring forward largo proposals affecting the interests of the Colony, unless strongly convinced that their consideration became necessary. It is understood that the Ministry will not move from tbe position they took up in their now memorable Minute," and in which they were supported by a small maiority in the Leguuaturo. But the publication of this second despatch has revived strong public desire that the Colony should be represented in tho Conference, and meetings are being held at Port Elizabeth and Graham's Town to petition his Excellency Sir Henry Barkly to convene a special Session of Parliament.

The Ministry, however, is not likely to give way even under this pressure. Mr. Froude is now at Port Elizabeth awaiting a decision upon, the point. During his stay at Natal he was a guest at the banquet given in honour of Sir Uarnet Weiseley at xJuroan, and on tnat occa sion duly touted as "a visitor oi mucn renown, whose namo was at once a national boast and i national Doosession." His speech in reply so accn rately reviewed tho position of affairs in this country and so clearly stated the prospects of the proposed Uonierence tnat luuy quote zrom iu Mr. Froude said I am not roiiir to give you a history of South Africa, Wit I mar Tentor to aar that th South African OUnies hsv for half a century beea th perplexity the British Celonlsl UfBce.

The mere distance made it all but impoaaibl for a Secretary of Stat to be adequately informed of tbe truth in such matters. With South Africa the difficulty is peisil exaggerated.

If 00 men can be found to say a thing in 00a way in South Africa as many will coma forward with equal poaitivtneai and say it is the other. (Applsuae.) Yet Lord Carnarvon found he must do soma tbiag to act right all this confusion what was tho aome thiog to be 7 You will tar he should do what has been done witn moat happy results in other Colonies, and leave South Africa to manage its own affairs.

United they would have been stroog enoujh to defend themselves from internal danger, and the success with which responsible government was working at the Cape a as an encouragement to extend it on a larger scale. Bat two of the States we had ourselves made independent cou'd not expect them to com back under the British Flag till they themselves a wish for it and our lata transactions with tkom had certainly not been of a kind to make them likely to wish for it. (Hear, hear.) But, at any rate, it may bo. said Natal and Griqualand could bave bean connected with the Cape. Undoubtedly, if tbe Cape would have con aentcd.

But tha Cape would sot touch Griqualand, sad th Cap would not touch NataL (Applause.) Lord Carnarvon was thus thrown back upon himself. He was obliged to as I said. It was of importance to make no more mistakes of importance, not to England 6nly, but to all the South Africa States. If anything wer wrong, all were then to aufler. In th face 01 such a eompucatioa 01 con osios, be decided to unite all the States to help him with their advice.

lie suggested conference of delegates who could discuss the condUioa of the country and report their conclusions to him. To me it seems a rational proposal and a perfectly harmless one, and tbe manner In wbicb 11 was received by the Ministers of the Cspe Colony is an additional proof of tb uesirsbleaess of it The high position of tbe Old Colony as' th leading State of South Africs carries responsibilities along with it. Tbe leading Cat Towa politician must learn to extend their horizon, and regard themselves as the trustees, which, in fact, they are, of the general welfare of South Africa. If tbe entire eoleny bad been lnnuencea oy tne iceung wuicn uwptrcu mo minute of the Ministers, the situation would be desperate. Tbe people, however, have better understood both Lord Carnarvon despatch and tbeir own duties.

(Hear, bear.) They hare risen at one, with admirable unanimity, to th a i signer level wnicn becomes mem, ana ran in wnicu they har condemned the miaute and the padouaneaa with which they have responded to the duapateh is alike crediteblo to their loyalty and their intelligence, and gives us more confidence than ever is toe uesuny waicn ues oeiore tnuOTuatrj. You will wish to know, toes, now matters stand sow. The Cape Colony, so far as its Ministers can answer for it, adhere to its refusal to co operate. Of tbe other States, tbe Transvaal and Griquslsad are willing. The Orange Free State, though hesitating, has not de clined, and I bave god hopes the lraiatnt auU Volksraad will consent to meet us to confer on certain specified sub jects.

Our present instructions, therefore, are to proceed Ills voivuj, ma uvru ruvu w. wytiiw. that a conference may be assembled as soon as posssible at Maritxburg. Sbould sues a com ere nee meet ana tn uap Colony be unrepresented, then the subjects to.b considered will mativa manamnnt with a view to a common policy and an allisace for united defence, rail ways, customs, aad other similar matters will be uiscussea as weii, aau 1 nope I may hav something interesting to communicate about Dtlsgoa Bay. (Hear, hear.) The results which I sbould hop might h' obtained would be a eloae lesgue between th States north of th Orange River, which might hereafter merge into some closer union.

It would be something far short of a complete ConMeration yet to Natal immediately, at least, it would be of equal material wouia gaia security, s. wvw nui. m) Engl and could give towards pressing forward your railways. It would solve tb worst part of the astir problem. A larger share than yeu have already of the trade of the Free But would pass to you, and Durban, at any rate, would bar nothing to complain of.

(Applause.) Lord Carnarvon was not fullv aware, however, when he gar these instructions of the unanimity with which be had been sup ported by the people of tb Cape colony. cannotpro ceed in fairness to them without a last appeal to the Csp Goverasseat. Btb Provinces hav spoken out so clearly sad eo nobly that I should ungrateful if I did sot remember it A Northern Unieu' such as I have described could not fail to be prejudicial to Port Elizabeth. I go back, therefore, for a last answer. It I am refused as before, I shall tben return hither as soon as possible, and it shall go oa without farther delsy.

(Cheers.) On word more, gentlemen, before I sit down, I have no doubt of th material progress of this country. It will be vast and it will be rapid. Gold you will have, and diamonds end ostrich feathers, and tb bank notes which the world will pay yeu for them aad your lauds will be tilled, sad yur railways will be made, and you will grow Into a great and prosperous community but you will be left face to face with a harder problem which will sot be solved so easily. There is nothing sadder that I know of in all history than the fat of th uncivilized race who have come ia contact ia these but centuries with the progress of th Anglo Saxon. In Australia, is America, is a hundred islands, there is the same melancholy story; we form settlements which grow up into powerful States, reproducing our English character, and taking places for themselves ia th commonwealth of nations bat our victories have been for ourselves.

On ths wretched races which we displace bestow our diseases and vices. To them the bleeaings of European denization hive com ia tbe form of measlea and smallpox, aSpbilia, aad rum. aad they have died before a like eheep with the rot. Eren Bow, tros Fiji, where ourtW has just beea introduced, the aewa was that 60,000 miserable creatures bad died of measles which wer brought la with us. Every where it is the same unvarying tale.

It will depead on you be re in uoutn (near, near wnexner eaoiner cnapter is to aaaea to ia same enameiui nisiory, or whether here, if nowhere else, th reproach shall taken away. Noon doubt tnat the Negro race are capable of ixuprerement. Even ia a state of slavery they are affectionate and IsyaL They have learnt trades and become good workmen and sorvscta They show excellence of many loads. I do not question your goodwill towards the satires. Everyone wh knows Scuth Africa knows that you who are settled her desire to promote th welfare and happiness of the natives in evarr possible way.

What I fear ia that you may ba beaten by the in tni difficulties of the problem itself. Slavery at an and and all approaches to slavery for ever, yet civilisation means submission to mora restraint. And how are en ignorant people. Inured for thousands of years la habits of idleness, to learn submission for themselves. I have read th Cap Blue book for Native Affairs in 1674.

The reports are conflicting. There is something to encourage there is one point on which there is universal agreement, and that is the ia ereato of drunkenness, and drunkenness means destruction. The satires are free as ourselves, but are we to furnish them with a freedom which we could sot endure for our selves YVbat is freedom Because my children, are free I do sot leave it to then to discuss for themselves the desirableness of going to schooL If I did, they would grow up the slaves of ignorance and idleness. The future ol tn native race ia South Africa depends on whether yea ess educate the growing generation of them in habits of industry. It is a parados it ia a libel on the Maker of us to suppose that improvement which was possible under slavery became impossible when they were set free.

Of all the results to be expected from the con fsreace, I myself look with most anxiety for some light upon this much perplexing difficulty. I look to Mr. Shep stene I look to the wise, experienced gentlemen from the Free State to tell us bow we are to in some form which will disarm suspicion aad invite help aad ensouraz meat in England. It may be that it is a law of Natur. that tDC ceiourva man snail ouappear peters am waiw iubu.
