RUSSIAN SERfDoX Among the limitations of
Russian scrtdom, in which it ia distinguished
from the chattel slavery Of the United States
are these:
|. The master cannot sell the serf without
the land on which the serf lives.
2. Families cannot be separated and the
unmarried children, after the death of parents,
constitute a family.
3. Inc masters power over the body Of the
serf extends not to miming or perling life.
4. The master cannot require the serf to mar
ry contrary to his own choice and affections.
5. lie is entitled to the labor Of only three
days in the week, and cannot require labor on
the Sabbath, or On high festivals
4. S.ris cannot be held except by the nobility
and certain privileged classes and persons.
I. They cannot be held except in proportion
to the masters property in land, there being
required for each serf the possession by the MAG
ter of twenty acres. r.tt.l
These provisions Of the Russian law render
serldom, bad and oppressive US it is, a condition
entirely different from that of chattel slavery.
The slave market, the collc, the hounds. the in
c}ssant toll, tue concubnage are unknown; and
the sort population live in villages, have homes
which ale homes to Them have more than half
their time to Themselves, and except for the mil
itlry service, enjoy the most precious Of boons,
security.

BosToN NOT AGAIN TO BE BURNED OR Bur
MANED.-Encouraged by the Infamous rendition
of Anthony Burns, a Georgia Shareholder last
week came on to Boston, in pursuit of a rnna-
way slave, by tho name of jackson, found his
whereabouts, got his warrant aud posse out, but
the movement having leaked out, tho fugitive
was put on his way to Canada, before he could
be reached and the dirty claimant and his
dirtier Boston official negro catchers were, for
once, completely foiled.
Last week the Sergaant-at-Arms in tho State
House, requested sheriff or constable to get
him man to supply, TO, the time being, the
place of one of the Officers of the House, Next
morning Asa A. Butman, the .nesro-catcher,
was found in the vacant place. The whole
House was soon in an uproar A resolution for
expelling Butman was written, but before it
could be offered, Butinan was dismissed and off

These men give the heather particular fits.
They pray for the heather. They love the
heathen-unless living in their immediate vi
cinity. They are patterns of genteness and
tenderness. The barbs they wing are tipped
with velvet. They handle theird delicate wea-
pons with kids-they mount the enemies bat
Elements with French pumps and-great dig
nifty. They are never betrayed into an earn
est word, or hot rebuke of wrong. They
are clerical tops, simporing sublimated nom
sense in the pulpit, and reeking with the odors
of the drawing-room toilet. If the archangcl's
trump should too rudely awaken them alter
death, they will arise with mathematical dig

If they 90 to heaven, they will not speak to

These men conduct themselves very proper
ly upon the moral question of the day. They
do not mingle any of the practlcaltlcs OF lite
with their religion, They. prcech the gospel
Of meekness and purity, unalloyed b. grosssr
matters. They write by rule and compass
they gesture as per drawingroom etiquette
their words are as sleek and carefully arrang-
ed as their hair and cravats. They fire eio-
queut Ileclamatons, in general terms, aga inst
sin and sinners but always wish it UNDER
stood that they would not commit the impro-
priety Of meaning anybody. Their prayers are
unotious with rhetorical gimcracks, and their
dainty handkerchief with dialogue.
These mca shun the exciting evils OF the
day. They DO not deem Temperance, for ex-
ample fit subject to preach upon, in the pull
pit Tens Of thousands Of drunkarls die an

thundors against the hand which deals out

IMPORTANT HINT FOR ANERIcANs-Ala late mum
Der OF the Edinburgh ReUisw contains a long
and pans-takins article, relating 10 part to the
disposition which is to be made OF the hordes of
conyicts, annually let loose, upon the expiration
OF their terms of punishment, from the prisons
and halks of England. The writer considers
the topic OF the reformation of criminals as one
not yet receiving tho attention due, and regrets
that apathy and mistaken economy on the part
OF government lead to this incucable wrong
done to society by the emancipation of thousands
Of reprobates, who return to their old haunts and
vices with undated activity & craft. The adyan-
tage of getting rid Of such class is obvious.
But where send theml The colonies Of Great
Britain absolutely refuse, for the most part, to
be swamped by such an inundation, and no won
der. Thereupon the reviewer, full of liberating
his country and its dependencies from tho curse,
hits upon an idea resembling that of citizen
embarrassed with a dead cat which he drops down
q n9ighber well. He says, send Them 10 Nep

The WAR IN THE EAST OF all modern wars.
the present one in Europe has been the most
bloody and destructive Of the whole number
of the allies engaged in it, one half have prob
ably, by the weapons of war, or the hand Of
pcstilence, been swept from the earth--a latali-
ty without parallel, perhaps, since the Cru
sades, And in all this appalling sacrifice of
life and treasure, how little we can see which
has been done for constitutional liberty Had
the allies began as wisdom as well as patriotism
dictated, and armed Hungary, Poland and Italy,
they had by this time placed those down-tred-
den people in a position to regain their lost ma
tlonalitics-had SO far accomplished all honest
objects of the war as to command an honorable
peace, and retire from the contest with the an.
pause and thanks Of the friends of freedom
throughout the world But now. wbile st;ll
pressing and keeping down with their iron heels
the prostrato millions, they might have raised and
ireed' even to their own advantage how can they
have much of our sympathy, or many of our
prayers fol, their success!

language, 80 great preserver OF unasslmiatlns
elements of characterize print all public doc
uments in the English tongue alone-to ordain
that all schepls aided by the State shall use the
same language--to disbs.nd military companies
founded on and developing exclusive foreign sym
pathies--to discourage imported political dema-
vagues, the broken down leaders of insular
agrarianism or continental red repubcanlsm,
whose trade here is to pat themselves ut the
head of their deluded countrymen, to organize
prejudice, to vitalize foreign feeling and morbid
passion, and then sell themselves to highest par

to keep entire the separation of church and

last year passed one state OF enactment, prohlb-
iting the diversion Of the educational fluids OF
the State to the establishment or support
of sectarian schools.
2. The power to repeal or modify the natn-
ralzation laws is contided alone to the Congress
of the United States but while Congress nat
uraizes each State for itself prescribes the quail

therefore, an amendment to oar Constitution
prohibiting the exercise of the elective franchise
to all of alien birth, qualified by naturalization

twenty-one years. d.

TIE New DOGMA OF TIE PopE OF ROME
Although our readers have been apprised of tho
great Roman Catholic Council at Rome, CON
vencd to act on the claimed but disputed immac-
uatencss Of Virgin Mary, and that the qucs-
ton was decided in the affirmative by large
majority and the Pope, theroupon put forth his
decree accordingly, yetall may not understand
what that New Dogma, which the Pope's de-
cree establishes, Isl and we therefore give it in
the Pope's own words, as follows - ... ...
1T is dogma Of faith, that the Most Bless
cd Virgin in the first instant of conception, by
the singular privilege and grace of God, in viz
tue of the merits of Jesus Chirit Savior Of the
human race, was preserved exempt from al touch
of original SIM :"
The decree, which makes Mary, from conccp-
ton to DEATH as sinless as Adam before the fall.
or even as the Angels of Heaven, having thus
been promulgated as an inallible truth, is to
be binding on the whole Catholic world as an
article of faith, the disbelief or violation of
which, is to subject the luckless recusant to cx-
communication us a branded Hcritic, or per
haps the horrible appliances of the Inquisition
Comment is unnecessary on matter like this.
