The New caar.

1t is an old custom of Russia that al.
ter new Gear has. mounted the throne,
he should visit the inspect and archives
of the Empire, inform himself careful
ly of the ukases of his predecessors,
and either ratify or modify, or repeal
them. On April Is. the present EN-
peror went through this ceremony
He is understood on this occasion to
have met with ukase of his fathers,
dating as far back as 1S41, to the of:
feet that in consideration Of the good
feeling shown by the Poles, and their
complete affection for the throne of Rus
STA, they should in future enjoy equal
rights with other nationalities in the En-
pire, and be admitted to share in the
advantages of the Imperial good will,
"with the exception however, of the
Jews" The young emperor is stated
to have looked very grave at this ex-
ception, and to have said, "Such an ex-
ceptional state shall not exist any lon
ger in Russia, This matter shall be
altered; deeire that every body in the
whole great Empire of Russia shall have
equal rights and equal duties.'

Russia.

The Northern Bee of St. Petersburg
Of the 18th publishes an order of the
day addressed by the Hoffman Andri-
anoT to the Cossacks of the Don, in
which he calls them all to arms, great
and small, old and young, with their
standards, and the sacred images ofiheir
respective parishes at their head. This
levy en- maSse of the Cossacks of the
Don will have their head quarters at
the town Of Novo-Tcherkase.
A letter from St. Petersburg of tho
18th to the National Gazette of Berlin
says:-"Many Of the Jews in Russia
have been Of late years converted to
Christianity. The number of those who
have been thus converted in this city
amount to $4,000. This number ap-
pears very large.I They have been up
to this time exempt from military SER
vico, but in consequence Of the present
war, an imperial ukaso has just or.
dercd that one in thirty shalt BIO taken
for the couscription."
The Cologne Gazette contains let.
ter from Petersburg which says "The
late arrangements Of the Emperor AL
exander H., relative to tho succession
to tho Russian throne, appear to BIO of
more importance than might have been
at first supposed. II is said they wcre
caused by tho desire of the Gar TO

ly and morally, by continuation of the

"a whig Trick J"

All will remember with what gusto
the pcttifogging stumpers Of the Iron
heads charged that acknowledgment
was "Whig trick" in the late cam
vass in our State. This was one of
their strong arguments against us-the
"raw head and bloody bones" exhibit
cd to every audience, and from behind
which their stump-speakers howled like
the hungry wolf in u sterile mountain.
1t appears, however, that if it was
Wing trick, the Wings did not play it.
Mr.. Kidwell, in a letter declining an
invitation to attend celebration near
Evansville, July 4, says:

Illegal Voting in Tirginia.-The
Martinsburg Republican states that tho
grand jury of the county ofMorgan Va.
was occupied on Monday and Tuesday
of last week in ferreting out tho frauduk
lent and illegal votes cast OF the recenE
election. The Republican adds,
We understand that thir,y.four ille-
gal votes were brought to their notice, Of
which thirty-two were cast for Roteler
and two for Faulkner. There seemed
to be very little doubt of the illegality Of
the, whole thirty-four votes, but as tho
law of Virginia can only make indicta-
BILE such persons as can be proven to
have voted with the foil knowledge that
they were voting fraudulently and ille-
gally,the grand jury under the evidence
found indictments against four Of tho
parties implicated only. They were fla

AN independent Democrat.

The Washington Organ has been fur

by the Assistant Postmaster General at
Weldon, N. c., to the Postmaster Cen
eral, with the brief statement, furnished
by friend at that place, informing us of
the political character and standing of

master, above referred to. Our friend
says:
"Mr. Allen has been heretofore de-
voted and decided Democrat. and was
an ardent advocate of General Pierco's
election. He is gentleman Of standing
IN the community, and merchant. He
has purified his garments by connecting
himself with the American party"
Tho following is tho letter:

from your aDtecedents, you think more
justly entitled to it than those born upon

the disgrace of holding an office under
an administration which has been so ro.
pugnant to tho best interests and the
prosperity Of tho Union. | not only

ithas abandoned the doctrines and teach.
ings of the Jefferson and Jackson school
of Democracy, but in many other instan-
ces, which arc too we'll known To tho
people Of these United States, for mo here
TO enumerate.
The present administration has dono
more, in my humble opinion to create
sectional strife and to retard tho progress
of the American Union, than any other
administration since tho first days of our
Republic. 1t has promoted the yelling
cries Of the demagogues and fanatics
North, and Of the bowling secessionists
Southland has suffered the quiet and
the gallant statesmen, who had the love
of country burning in their bosoms, Ia
