SOUTH AFRICAN UNION.
NO INSURMOUNTABLE DIFFICULTIES. CAPETOWN, November 27. With regard to the Closer Union Convention sitting at Capetown, Sir Henry Villiers, the president, states that no insurmountable difficulties have been encountered, and that there is a reasonable probability that the convention's labours will be successful. ("owards the end of last month the "Kimberlay Advertiser" assured its readers that the work of the convention was proceeding as smoothly as could be expected. Indeed, the journal was informed by one unofficially on the spot, and on whose judgment it places the greatest reliance, that from what he had seen and heard outside, the general spirit was so fine and the general tendency so extremely moderate that he would be intensely surprised if as a result there did not emerge a very complete form of union, and one fair in every way to all.)
