immortality in Russia.

A recent writer thus speaks of the state
of morals in Russia. Bad as is the poly
gamy ofthe Turks, tits infinitely preferable
to such domestic system:
Whatever may be the morals of the
peasantry in remote districts, those living
in the towns and villages on the Volga are
more degraded in their habits than any
other people among whom I have travel
ed; and they can hardly be said to disre-
gard, since they have never been acquain-
ted with the ordinary decencies of life
What better result can indeed be expected
from system by which the upper classes
are wealthy in proportion to the number Of
serfs possessed by each proprietor? The
rapid increase Of the population is no less
an object with the private serf-owner, than
the extensive consumption Of ardent spirits
is desired blythe Government. Thus each
vice is privileged with especial patronage.
Marriages, in the Russian sense Of the
term, are consummated at an early age,
and are arranged by the steward, without
consulting the parties-the lords approval
alone being necessary. The price of a
family ranges from aP55 to S4o. Oul
captain had taken his wife on a lease of
FIVE years, the rent for that term amount
ing to fifty rubles, with the privilege ofre-
newal at the expiration of that time.

Important Foreign news.

The New York Herald, ofthe 18th ult.,
processes to have reliable information, that
on the 11th of November last, in the city
of London, most important treaty of al
lance was agreed to between the diplo
matte representatives of England and
France, in reference to the Turkish ques-
ton. Itsays: : 54AA : j
The treaty thus concluded between the
high contracting parties of England and
France was dispatched Immediately by
couriers to Berlin and Vienna, with an in
timation that from the day Of its arrival
at each of these capitals period Of seven
days would be allowed to the cabinets OF
Prussia and Of Austria to determine upon
their assent or refusal to enter into the ar
Iangement. If agreed to, well and good;
if rejected, it was to be understood that
France and England would take the set
tlement and responsibilities of this Eastern
controversy into their own hands.
We further learn that, from the terms
Of this treaty, Russia will be required
forthwith to evacuate the Danubian Prin-
cipalities, or that, in refusing. she hazards
the moinentuous consequences of an i'm.
mediate joint declaration of war from Eng.
land and France. And, as the shortest
road to peace, when once this declaration
is made. we may safely assume that the
active opt rations of the allies against Rus
sia will be Of the most effective and form
liable description, by land and sea. We
may count upon the movement of two
hundred thousand Frenchmen, in the high
est state of equipment and discipline
across the Rhine and the Alps, to compe
Austria and Prussia to show their hands
We may also expect simultaneous move
ment of the French and English fleet
near Constantinople into the Black Sea
and that the determination of the Rus
slams inthose waters will speedily follow
while, unless prevented by the freezing Q

Terrible Rail Road Riot.

s CHICAGO, Dec. 16.
Yesterday afternoon a bloody riot broke
out among the operatives on the I. c.
Railroad at Lasalle. Much dissatisfaction
has been caused by the late decision of the
contractors to reduce the wages, and
threats had been freely uttered by the la
borers to take summary vengeance on all
connected with the proposed reduction
About two o'clock, an alteration arose be-
tween Albert Story, one of the contrac-
tors, and party of Irishmen, during
which the latter was shot down for some
threatened act of violence. Shortly after,
Mr. Story's Office was attacked by a large
body of excited laborers, and sacked and
pillaged. Mr.. Story was taken from a
barn, where he had taken refuge, and
murdered under circumstances of the
most shocking barbarity. Mrs. Story was
fred at several times, but fortunately re-
ceived no injury.
Ii is said that Mr.. Dunn, foreman,
hadkilled several Irishmen on the opposite
side of the river, but this needs confrma-
ton.
The Sheriff Of La Sale county return
ed this morning from the scene of riot,
where he had arrested thirty-two prison
ers about midnight. They found the
corpse Of Mr.. Story in stable. shot, and
his head and face mangled and bruised in
a most shocking manner, the infuriated
wretches having continued their blows up
on the body with axes and clubs until it
was mangled almost beyond recognition.
When the Sheriff's party came mp, they
were fred upon within effect. The fire was
returned by some of the Sheriff S company
and, as is supposed, one man was killed
and another wounded. Some resistance
was made by individuals when they were
being disarmed. and one man got his hand
pretty badly injured by blow from a
rifle.
1t was supposed the principal leaders
had gone south on the train. A locomo-
tive was sent after them, with orders to
bring them back. AS yet. we have not
heard what success they have had.
The Court is now in session at Ottawa.
and the case will be laid before special
grand jury at once.

InjunctiOns upset at Philadelppia---Erie

Kicked out of Court.
We have piece of good news to-day.
"All Erie" including the notorious May
or and Council, has been booted out Of the
Supreme Court at Philadelphia.
The infamous authorities of that infa-
nous town had applied to said Court for
writ of injunction against the Franklin,
Canal Company, under whose charter
the Lake Shore road, from the Ohio State
line to Erie, was constructed. The grounds
assumed were, that the character would
not allow of a railway, and that the road
therefore was illegally built. The Attor-
ney General signed the application, which
was accordingly argued before the Su-
preme Court Of the State The Court,
like sensible Court as it is, refused to
entertain it; and call Erie" is sent home
with flea in each of its prodigious ears.
Later intelligence from Pitsburg assures
us that the injunction against Erie on be-
half of the Lake Shore road and others
w;H be granted by the U. S. District
Court When that is done, call Eric will
be hedged in with wall of fire. and, scor-
pion-like, she can proceed to sting her
self to death at leisure.-Cieveland Plain

Raii Road Accident.


b We regret that we are already called
upon to chronicle serious accident, the
first which has. yet occurred upon our
new road. ILis well known that in order
70 facilitate Che completion of that portion
of the track lying between this place and
Bucyrus, Mr. SrRAueHAN had ordered the
erection of trestle work between either
abutment of the Brokensword Bridge and
the completed portion of the embank-
ment. $50 hati.U ssJ3 @o o4fra9 sasa~eHg
The trestle work was abou. twenty FIVE
feetin hight, and upward of one hundred
feet long on the west side. The iron was
laid across on Wednesday evening last,
and on Thursday morning, the construc-
ton train employed on this part of the
road, left Upper Sandusky, with nine
truck loads Of iron. passed over the Bro
kensword in safety, unloadeJ the iron,
and started on its return. The locomotive
had about reached the embankment on
the west side, when short crack was
heard, and in moment after the whole
structure on this side of the bridge gave
way, carrying with it the locomotive,
tender and four of the trucks. Several
persons were seriously, but we believe
none fatally injured. A Mr.. BRowN living
near the bridge had legbadly fractured.
A boy also living in the neighborhood had
his arm broken The collar bone of one
of the hands employed on the train was
fractured, and Mr.. SMITH Of this place,
who had gonc out for ride, suffered a
severe conclusion of the brain and other
internal injuries. The escape Of the en-.
gineer and fremen, from the crushed end
of the locomotive and sender was almost
miraculous. and many others owe their
safety to the presence of mind of some
one of the hands (his name we have moi
learned who applied the brake in time
to stop the remaining five trucks, from
precipitating themselves and theircontents
upon the wreck below.
We do not consider that we have per.
formed our whole duty by merely laying
these facts before our readers; nor shall
we finally drop the subject until we have
at least endeavored to fix the responsible
lty where it belongs; believing as we dc
that tie exercise Of proper vigilance or
the part of the press will do much TOWARD
preventing recurrence of such mishaps
At present there is too much dispute
about the facts, to enable us to come to {
proper conclusion; yet it is conceded or
all hands since the structure gave way
that it was entirely insufficient to supper
the train. We understand further tha
the engineer on that division, and perhap:
Mr.. STRAuGHAN also, claim that it was no
intended to run the train across until dir
had been filled in to support the trestl'
work. There seems to be but two ques
tons more necessary to be solved. I
such were the intention should not tn,
conductor Of the construction train have
been SO notified !? and was any such mott
fcation given?
When these questions are answered, W,
can put our finger on the man, and then
both out of regard to the public and from
sense of The frangibEe. character of ou
own bones, we shall insist that he be helc
to a rigid accountability.
