on to say that while there was no violent
opposition to the amendment, yet there
was an earneat and increasing feeling" of
aversion t It
It appear "to be assumed by Demo

lists, among whojj are of course Sena
tor, Butler and ex-Congressman 'Harry
Skinner, will fight the franchise amend

Butler's support of it would really have
been costly to the Democrats and lost
them votes. It is taken for granted
that Skinner : will be pronounced. In
fact, extreme in hi , eppoakion. The

Charleston Sunday night about the Bu-

The 8iate Auditor had the pension
warranla ready for mailing yesterday,
but the Stat , Treasurer asked him to
hold them until December loth, In order
to give time for' money to come in. In

1st, but last year, at the Instance ol th
Treasurer, they wennot sent out until
December 18th. The Treasurer aal l to
day: "Th' warrant agregate 119,600.
Last year, though they were notaent out
until the middle of December, 00 per
cent of tbem came to the Treasury for
payment by the end of the month. The
sheriff cannot settle December 1st for the

his column, from which It seem that his '
J-wound is only slltihU HU delay, is ex-1
plained partly by the need... of bringing '
up more ammunition and concentrating
large supplies for KImberley.. The Boers
are in force only six miles north of the

most of its Inhabitants will go touth, and
it will become an advanced bis for the
invasion of the Free State, ...
The advance on Bloemfonlein . from
KImberley will withdraw the Free State
Invader from Cape Colony. Menaced
In the rear by General Methuen; It is ex
pected they -will retire north, closely
followed by Oeneral Oatacre. . ".-,.
Similarly the relief of LadyBmlth will
be the beginning of the Natal campaign
Whether the main line of invasion will
be continued through Natal remain to
be seen. The Natal operations will be
directly against the Transvaal Boers, It
is possible that a defeat of General Jou
bert's force would be followed by an in
vasion of the Transvaal, not from the
Orange Free State, a originally Intend
ed, but from Natal. -
Any moment may devolop new of the
greatest Importance from,- Natal. Gen
eral Buller, for the operation of forcing
the Tugela river, must now. have nearly
34,900 men available. It must not neces

attempt what General Methuen said was

Jeubert 1 reported to have strength

preparation for tactics like these) but it
by no meihi follows that he would be
able to frustrate them:-The Boer post
tlon on the Tugela ha been made, ex"
ceedlngly strong as against any froat
attack. v The ' character of the country
alio largely helps Joubert's plsns. The
Boers are reported In great number at
Grobler's Kloof and elsewhere around
Colenso. . - .. :--y'
From the British point of view It is
hoped, ihat':.the ' Boers' will stand and
await attack lh a gives position, Saould
they spread thsmielvesln mobl e -b)Jle

It would result in something like guerril
