The recent appointment o! N. Y. McDuf
fie, professional gambler, 10 the office Of
United States Marshal for the Northern
District Of California, has given very great
dissatisfaction. /, is stated in The California
papers that this pos, was made vacant by
the murder Of Gen. Richardson BY Charles
Corn. gambler and an habilual frequen.er
Of McDutfies saloon. His sister Belle Cora,
noted female gambler and courlezan ,hrus,
herself into the same box a, the thsaler
with Mrs. Richardson. and it was from this
that The quarrel arose. Another sister of
Cora is The mistress Ct McDuffie, and he
had done everything in his powc! 10 effect
Cora's release. Without taking into con.
si1eration his connection with the murderer,
says the National American, the very oc-
cupalon and standing Of McDulie should
have been sufficient 10 prevent his holding
an important Office under any honorable
government.

REFORMS IN RUSSIA AND PonANp.-Ac

REFORMS IN RUSSIA AND PoIANp,-Ac-
cording to the Independence Beige, the abo-
lition or serfage in Russia has been much
talked of lately in that country. A st. Pc
tersburg correspondent states that a plan
for the accomplishment Of this measure has
been submitted to the examination of the
Emperor Alexander, and that, before he
left the capital for Finland, the Czar issued
a ukase, by which, hereafter, the serfs will
have the privilege Of suing their masters for
their freedom, before the tribunals Of the
realm, Former laws granted the serfs this
power, but it was almost impossible for him
to make practical use oft. Henceforward
the mobiles can no longer transfer their serfs
to another district, or incorporate them into
the army, without being authorized to do
SO by the decision Of a orpotent tribunal.
Communications from St. Peterburg, Of
date March 10, announces that the follow
ing important reforms are about to made in
Russian Poland:
/. The granting Of general amnesty for
all political offences.
9. The introduction of the Polish Ian
guage into the universities.
3. A new division provinces and reyis.
ion Of frontier.
a. Permission to wear the Polish uniform.
It is thought by these means to attach all
Poles to the cause of Russia, and forever
obliteratc the idea Of independence.
