sERFDoM IN RUssIA.-The system of serf-
dom in the Western part of Russia has exist
ed tor many centuries. As it originally ex-
listed, no seri could hold property the result
OF his labor belonged to his master, and he
could not sell the product of his own indus
try, or buy that of others. For the last three
centuries various attempts have been made to
alleviate the condition of these unfortunate
people, and various laws were enacted, de.
signed to improve their prospects. In 1864,
says the Boston Courier, the Empress Catha-
rlne ii. visited Livona, where serfdum had
long been established, and was so struck by
the unhappy condition OF the agricultural pop
ulatlon, that she ordered immediate measures
TO be taken for their relief. Several laws were
passed for the purpose Of instituting reform,
but the mobiles continued to eyade them so
that the condition Of the serf was not really
improved. In IVA, the senate of the empire
again interfered in their behalf, and in l777
the governor general instituted, on the estate
granted to him by the empress, a tribunal
where the peasantry were themselves the
judges of certain communal affairs. During
all this period there were frequent outbreaks
among the peasantry, and an armed force was
sometimes necessary to quell the insurrec-
tons.
Towards the close of the eightee tn centu-
ry the press devoted itself to the subject, and
vehemently denounced the abuses of the
seignorial power, and n 1862 statute was
enacted which guaranteed to the peasant the
right to all such personal property as he pos
sessed or should acquire. Other measures for
their relief were adopted with the sanction of
Alexander, but no thorough system seems to
have been devised which should strike at the
poot of the system like that initiated by the
present emperor.
