The FINANCES OF RUSSIA. In Gurowski's
intelligent work on Russia, he gives no very
fattering account of the financial resources
of the empire, which become more and more
embarrassed, since not all the resources of
the nation and Of the soil are within the
greedy grasp of the imperial treasury. Direct
taxation is not known in Russia. The no.
bility cannot be directly taxed, neither can
the soil nor the serfs. The latter pay only
small capitation tax Of about dollar head,
which income is destined to maintain the
local administration of the different provin-
ces or governments, as they are called. But
millions of this tax remain for years and
years unpaid-and this arrearage increases
and extends daily. The whole revenue of
the empire amounts to 1875 millions of dol
lars. OF this amount nearly one half is
yielded by the liquor monopoly; the custom
houses give about 81 millions, from duties on
imports; the crown domains about "a mill
IONS Nearly two-thirds of the entire reve-
nue. is absorbed in the maintenance of the
immense army. The remainder of the rev.
enue, after deducting the arrearages of seve-
raj departments, but principally of the crown
domains, has to maintain the general admin
istra ton, pay the interest of the public debt,
support the large imperial family, and final
ly supply the expenditures of the Emperor
upon his favorites, and his lavish extrava-
gance otherwise, for which his private per-
sonal income fails by many millions to suf-
fee. The national debt is nearly 1920, ,000,-
900. The yearly interest thereon is more
than 500, 00,000-a little more than six per
cent. on the whole. The war in Hungary
con tributed nightly to drain the already de-
pleted treasury This war, and all the mill
itary manifestations since, outrun consider
ably the current revenues--the real official
resources of the government. In extraordi-
nary cases, the government resorts to banks
and their deposits.

cock, in one of his popular scientific works,
has aptly illustrated the vastness of the uni

instantaneously, really requires an apprecia-

on the sun till eight minutes; at the planet

magnitude, till forty-fve years; on star Of
the eighth magnitude, till one hundred and
eighty years; and stars of the twelfth mag

of this magnitude are visible through tele-
scopes; nor can we doubt that, with better
instruments, stars of far less magnitude
might be seen. So that we might confident

ORIGIN OF THE TERM DoUGHFAcE,-At an
anti-Nebraska meeting held in Delhi, says
the Gazette of that place, Judge Hathaway,
who was one of the speakers, mentioned an
aneodote showing the origin of the term
doughface, so commonly applied to northern
men with southern principles. When a
young man, he was present at an interview
between Gen. Root and one DIR. Clark, at
the time representing Delaware and Green
counties in Congress. DR.. Clark was sup
porter of the Missouri Compromise and ad-
vOcated and voted for the admission of Mis-
souri, into the Union under that compro-
mise. In the conversation with General
Root, he was relating some incidents which
transpired during the debate upon the bill. -
DIR. Clark stated that he addressed the House
in favor of the passage of the bill, and,
said he, call the time | was speaking,
John Randolph, of Virginia, sat and sneer-
ingly pointed his long, bony finger at
me, and made up faces at me, and just as
sat down, he screamed out, in his shrll
squeaking voice: Doughface, doughface.'
Judge Hathaway remarked, that this DR..
Clark actually seemed proud of the appella-
ton.

The following extract from the speech Of
ex-governor Smith, of Virginia, places the
argument in favor of slavery upon its own
true ground-its only proper basis. 1t is the
only tenable position on the slavery side Of
the question, and embraces far more practi-
cal truth, so far as the negro is concerned,
than many of us here at the north are in the
habit OF supposing. If other interest but
the welfare of the negro race were involved
in the slavery discussion, we think the pub
lie ear would speedily cease to be vexed by
the noisy polemics who take charge of the
public sympathies.

Acuuittal of Ward.


The telegraph brings an account of the &C
auittal of Matthew f. Ward for the murder
of w. II. g. Butler, at Louisville. We have
never had any doubt that Ward would be
acquitted, and gave such opinion at the time.
The murder seemed to be unprovoked, and
in fact meditated; but experience shows that
The law of cast is superior to the laws of the
land in slave states. This is the third case
OF the kind within few years at Louisville
alone. A schoolmaster, i'll the eye OF the
STAKEHOLDER, is kind Of qualified menial
and is SO regarded. Mr. Ward belongs TO the
charmed circle that are altogether above law,
aud within which even SO accomplished d
man as Mr.. Butler does not come.
a filmsey attempt was made to show that
the act was in seIt-defenCc, but it falls far
short OF proof. The evidence shows that
Ward purchased the pistols at the time; ; that
he went where his first step over the thresh-
hold was an aggression that he went arm
ed that his language towards Butler was at
once violent and threatening; that as soon
as Butler raised his hand in peaceable man
ner, he was shot dead upon the spot.
Every act of Ward was offensive--that OF
bully from the start; and had Butler rails
ed his hand, or put it upon Wards shoulder
or even attempted to remove him from the
room, il would have been an entirely iustlfi-
able act of self-defence on his part. On the
whole, the trial was a farce, mockery, q
subversion of justice, disgrace to the judi
cial tribunals Of the land.
The whole trial is reported in the N. Y
Times, and no disinterested rational man
from reading the testimony can come to the
same conclusion the jury arrived at. But al
the power of wealth and station were brough
10 bear on the jury. A great sympathy was
excited in behalf Of the family, the mothe
tainted on the floor of the court room, (nat
urally enough, perhaps) and finally the jur,
We're overawed and subdued. One of tht
main points of defence was, that iEasmucl
as malice is an essential characteristic o
crime, and as there was no malice in the case
Ward was not guilty. Purchasing pistols t.
shoot man with, no malice! What i
malice ia Kentucky?
Such a mOckery of justice should be me

of indignation and scorn, and every respect
able teacher in Kentucky ought to throw u
his employment, till the people, the judicia
~, the legislature (if need be, by a specif
act Of tegsation,) render the school roor

The accounts show that Ward appeare
emacieSed, SIckly, pale and insignificant. an
that really great deal of true sympathy wa
felt for himself and family, but that is II
reasoe why the administration of law shoul
be perverted. Let the law be vindicated frs
and if it was a case for executive interfe,

that Ward was naturally an amiable, milo

CONSUMPTION OF THE LuNGs.-This is the
most irreparable and relentless of all the dis
eases that afflict the people of this country,
and numbers more victims than any other.
The Boston Medical Journal, speaking of it,
says:-
Nothing more clearly indicates the imper-
fection of medical science, than the multi
tude of deaths constantly taking place from
pulmonary consumption. Because these are
frequent. no alarm is excited but that no
means can be devised to lessen the catalogue
of those who are perpetually going down to
premature graves. Is it not possible to rouse
a spirit of further investigation in this direc-
ton? While manifest progress is making in
the treatment Of most other diseases, little
is achieved in regard to this slowly develop
ed but fatal malady. The semitic use of a
stethoscope does not cure patients. There is
no difficulty in predicting very nearly the
exact condition of each and every part of the
respiratory apparatus; but that does not con-
stitute remedy. Not single advance, of
real value, has been made in the treatment,
beyond the employment of cod liver oil, for
il long period. Either there is no disposition
W uuuClSO lllG vi OK vi
the resources OF medicine and art are exhaust
ed, so far as that uncontrolled disease is con-
cerned. A better opening for bold research
was never presented, than while the express
sion is nearly universal, physicians cannot
arrest or subdue pulmonary disorganization. D
A distinct chair in some or all of the collie
ges, for the study of the thoracic viscera, and
the lungs in particular, in health and disease,
would be an important movement, and we
doubt not would lead to the happiest results
TREATY WITH NIcARAGUA.-The Washing

treaty provides that the United States shal
recognize as established, the. boundaries O
Nicaragua, and includes the Mosquito coun
try within her limits. The United State
government is thus made to guaranty the dis
puted claim of Nicaragua, to the country c
