London, April 20 —The Pall Mall Oa-
-site, anti-Russian, commenting upon the
ukase of the Czxr ordering the appoint
ment of Governors General for six dis
tricts of Russia, eays, that the foes of
authority are a email but determined
band of evil-dotrs, as described in the
ukase, is incredible. The Russian gov
ernment only condemn tbeir own sweap-
inglv oppressive measures by patting
forward such a pretence. Were this
true, the ordicary powers of the state
would have availed to root oat the evil,
hut it is far deeper and more widespread
than this account admits, and it is be
cause the police themselves form one of
the classes among which tbe revolution
ary propiganda nare been at work, that
the Osar’s advisors have felt the need of
seeking a new, more swift and more dead
ly instrument for tho work of repression.
Tae police having failed them they are
about to retort to simple dragooning.
Bauua is virtually placed nnder martial
law, and ihst law is to be administered in
tbe moat thorough and meroileas fashion,
in snch fashion, indeed, unless we are to
■uprose hair of tbe population to be con
spirators, as to ir.fl<ot the most crnel in
justice upon thonsands of innocent per
son*. Six military officials are to have
tbe right of lmprUoniDg for an indefinite
time all suspicions persons, and of trans
porting to Siberia, without trial, as many
as they choose. They have also the
power of exeouting, in conformity with
stutenee* passed, thoso they may happen
to regmd as especially guilty.
Nor aietheBOpGwers confined to polit
ical criminals. Regular criminal pro
cedore appears lo have been altogether
suspended. Ordinary offenders, not even
auBpec-eu of ploit ng against the State are
to be made mbjeo to martial law.
Moreover, tbe Ukuie is restrospeotive.
The Governors General are expressly
empowered to try prirouers arrested be-
fore ibe Irene of the deoree—a provision
designed apparently to antborizs tho
holding of a sort of bloody sss.zj upon
the persons variously estimated, aocord-
ing to the well informed correspondent
of tbe,ofandard,at between 5,009 and 10,-
000—who have been recently impri-oned
in the mntlnoos districts.
Unless the Cz irani bis miuuteraare
gniity of most sweeping and reckless
cruelty they cannot believe themselves
confronted with a email but determined
band of evil doers; nor even with a large
and determined band of evil doer?. If
their account of tbe enemies of the State
were, in nny degree, like tbe troth
this snspention of all law—thi3 saper-
session of the law by tbe cut-throat agents
of a lawless terreism, would bo simply in
famous.
Of conrsr, their account of the matter
is sot a true one. Tbe measures they
bare resolved upon mako us aware of
what, in their view, is really the enemy
they mty have to combat. They snbjact
a great psrt of tbe oonntry to a dragoon
ed?, which, at tbe sama time, threatens
all the rest, for they are convinced that
revolutionary dangers confront them over
the whole area of their intended opera
tions The tremendous agencies of op-
C ion already in their bands long since
been known to have failed and to
have become in the persons of large num
bers of the polioo themselves agents or
well-wishers or terrorised on-lookers of
tbe revolution.
Nothine is left for the Russian govern-
oent but a reeort to the methods of the
Aei&tio despot, if they are to face the
revolution and trample it down; and that
they know this we see when we look to
that terrilj* order nnder which the jails
ere to be Gsfted by tho Emperor’s own
nmtary terrorists, and thousands of peo-
pie swept into them by a panic stricken
oEculdom, to be dealt with off-hand at
txio dram-head.

by Mr. Frye and three financial bills by
Mareb, of Maine.
The Senate abortly after meeting re
sumed consideration of tbe Army Appro
priation bill. Bayard defended the in
corporation of general legislation in the
appropriation bills—there beieg nothing
unusual in it. Henoe the ory of revolu

one whioh tbe people would oondemn.

Iubcdmbia, Ala., April 21.—Henry
H. P. Tudor and Louie H. Ay me, the

morning they resumed their jonrney
southward.
Washington, April 21.—In the Senate,
Mr. Bayard said the constitution express
ly provided that no army appropriation
should be for more than two years, in or
der to keep the expense of the army in
tbe bands of the people’s representatives.
Before 1874; two-thirds of the legislation
in relation to tbe army was placed oa the
army appropriation bills. To accompany
a vote of money to, the army with direc
tions for its use was eminently propere
though in general he conceded tbe impro
priety, but not then<icoastitationaliiy,of
attaching ex-raneous legislation to the
appropriation bills. To use troops at the
polls was to destroy the freedom of elec
tions; force and freedom cannot coexist.
Mr. Bayard having referred to the
presence of the United States troops in
New York city at tbe November election
of 1870, Mr. Bmine asked him why he
did oot cite a aase nearer by, where Bu
chanan, in 1857. ordered ont tbe United
States marines in a municipal election,
and seven citizens were killed within a
mile of the cspltol? Mr. Bayard replied
that be was oitlDg an tnstanoe nearer in
time if not in plsoa, and added: '.‘Any
man or party infringing tbe liberty of
the citizen will meet righteous oondem
nation now and at all times.” [ipplnie.]
He condemned all aotlon tending to re
tard tbe advent of good feeling between
the s-otioas, and concluded by expressing
confidence that tbe people would stop-
port tbe majority in tbeir present legis
lation, which was in the direction of jus
tice and individual freedom.
Mr. Maxey followed. He said tbe oon-
stitution did not confer on the United
States Government authority to regime
the elections, and' for this reason
it coaid not be unconstitutional
to repeal or modify it law slowing snoh
aotlon. The present law interfered with
the prerogative of the State government
whioh alone had authority to protect its
citizsoe in the right of lawful aasembly
for any purpose whatever. Free gov
ernment reste upon a free ballot end falls
with ir. The Demoeietio party conic
afford to be ooademned for acting o# this
prlnoiple. In reference to Mr. B.airib’a
remarks about ex-Confederates becoming
Senators; Mr. Maxey aald they were here
by right and did their dnty, not attiring
no otvil strife, bnt believing in and en
deavoring to haaten the ere of gennice
brotherhood. Mr. Blaine bed also aim-
ded to President Lincoln. Mi. Max*y
■aid they all aeoorded to Lincoln fairnes»
of thought and fearlessness of action.

In the matter of the claim of tbe Stite
of Georgia to be reimbursed $72,000
for expenses incurred in the Creek and
Ssmiuole war, Hon. A. G. Porter, First
Oomp'roller bf the Treasury has decided
in favor of the claim of the State of
Georgia, holding in oonformlty with an
opinion given by Hon. Hagb MoCallougb,
when Secretary of the Treasury, in a
letter to Governor Throckmorton, of Tex
as, when a like question was raised by
that State, that no power of assumption
of ihe direot laxes levied by the general
government and still due rested in ihe
Sitte under the aot of Jono 7tb, 1862,
and lhat therefore the direct taxes npou
individual property, the payment of which
has not been asinmed by a State, do not
ooDBfitnte a deb’- Of the Scat i and osrmot
be applied as an offset to a claim of the
State against the government.
The indications are that there will be
a great demand for tebacoo stimps on
the first Of May when the redaolicn of
tax goes into effect. The internal rev?-
; nne Bureau and Baresn of Eagraving and
Printing are working day and night to
have tbe stamps ready to be issued in
time to meet the demand.
There were bat five members present
when the Honse met at 7:30. The
House immediately went into com
mittee of tbe whole, with Mr. Blackburn,
of Kentucky, in the chair. On tne leg

Mr. New, of Indiana, and Mr. Frost, of

cock.—Oar ever vigilant and faithful
State School Commissioner, Dr. G. J.
Orr, whose traveling expenses are gener
ously paid by the managers ot the Paa-
body fond,’ continue* to jonrney from
county to county^ and enlighten the peo
ple upon the true merits and incalculable
advantages of-our State aohool system.
The SRmet und Planter contains an ac
count of bis late visit to Sparta. The
Commissioner said that 40 per cent, of
our population is Mill illiterate. In the
cities, however, the pobKaP schooli are
doing finely. An an instance,- tin Atlan
ta; prior to the establishment of free
schools, it cost $48,000 per year for the
schooling of 1,200 children, whereas, it
now costs only $60,000 to school 3,600.”
Dir. Orr went oh to say that the great
est drawback on the system was first pnt
on foot by a ,carpet-bag Legislature.
Prof. Qrr showed that he was the author
of teo meianre ana procured its adoption
by that corrupt body, which, however,
contained a few of the beat menin Geor-
jQeocgta. - The first year nothing
done because the school fund was all mis
appropriated.
Bat now the system or at least tire
principle ot popular education is a part
of the fandamhbtal law of the State,
adopted by a majority of 80,000.
The various objections to tbe system
were taken up in 'order and we think
sncceBstully answered. The greatest ob
jection is that of breaking down iha pri
vate schools and higher institutions of
learning. He contended that the
public system was so far superior that
it would be best if all the privatei&heols
were merged info it. As to the colleges
and higher school?, it does not compete
with tnem, but would rather be an ad
vantage to them; ' He argued it was the
hard times and not tbe pablio schools
that crippled th.e higher institutions of
learning.
Thk Cost or “Toting a Pistol.”—
Glinesville Eagle: A young men came
to town on Tuesday, in a wagon and
brought bis little “shooting iron” along
for the purpose of getting some cartridges
for it. Ho did not like to walk tbruogh
the street with ihe pistol in his hand even
if he thought of it at all, so, stippling It ont
of the wagon, be pnt it in bis p >cket and
went into a store. Here bo was obliged
to take it ont in order lo fit the cartridges
to it, bnt be forgot to look aronnd to are
that no one was observiog him. The re
salt wsb that some one who saw him re
ported the matter at once, and be was
soon hauled np before the oity court and
fined ten dollars and costs, besides an at
torney’s fee, in all eometling over twenty
dollar?. His cartridges coat him pretty
dearly, bnt be learned something.

A Ringing Aboumint.—Union and Re-
eorder: Daring the session of oar city
fathers last night, when the water supply
question was being kindly tackled, tbe
elements seemed to taine a conspiracy,
and daring tbe discussion, the old Ex

nouncing in a muffl *d peal to the citizens
of onr metropolis, that onr city fathers
were watched over, even by the elements
of the air.
May be this is a good omen, as tbe bell
• a* heard to give two clear and distinct
sounds, suggertive somewhat of the two

X Word to the Corpulent.
Instead of regarding obesity aB an ab
normal condition, many people have er
roneously considered it aa aa eveidence
of health, and any agent that reduoes fat
is therefore at oece suspected of being
injarions. Starting to res*cm from the
falie position that fat ia an evidence of
health, it ia not surprising that the; -ummation of this vital quostion. Eee
should, Vt-ry tato»aUy, fall into the error
of supposing that. an. agent possessing
properties capable of redooing corpu
lency would prove injurious to the health.
Reasoning, however, from the rational
basis, that an rindae deposition of far,
constituting obesity, is not a healthy bnt
a morbid condition, it is qnite as natural
for ns to arrive at the opposite conclu
sion, which Is sustained by experience
and observation, ». e., that the rednetion
of fat in cases of corpulency is invariably
followed by an Improvement of strength,
spirit?, and physical comforts. Ailiu’o
Anti-Fat will reduoe a fat person from 2

JOHN EHBBICAn’s BIG BTUXB.
If John really has any blood la his
veins it must be rushing along at a lively
rate this morning. At the close of toiuU
ness hoars last Thursday or rather before
ten o’clock that night, one hundred and
eighty-nine million dofiais of fonr per
oent. bonds were tubscribcd for by nine*
teen Hew York banks and other parties,
the banks taking one hundred and fifty
of these million?. This is indeed a re
markable epoch' in the financial history
of the oonntry and is the more remarka
ble, following- as it does so closely, the
■nbacription of fifty-nine millions on tbe
5th instant. Of tbe one thousand mill
ion of fonr per oent. bonds authorized by
the act of ISftYor refunding purposes
abont six bandied and six millions
have already been sold, leaving not
quite four hundred millions to be
disposed of. These heavy snbeerip-
