ANorHER EvIDSxcE.-In speaking of the Forney
movement in Pennsylvania, the Washington States
says:
at Is plain 70 our apprehension that the move
ment Of which Mr.. Forney is the leader IL Q pre-.
meditated and ireparable revolt against the Dem
UcFatc Organization. Il 10 equally obvious that NO
matter what may b the present intentions Of these
into the bosom Of the Black Republican party"
This is very significant language, and becomes
doubly when e 10 taken into consideration that
L Comes from Mr.. Douglas central organ. Il ia
manifest that FOrney, The BsodeFCk Of Pennsyl
il repudiAted; the movement 10 condemned IN the
strongest terms, and the opinion expressed that
"they will fall BY irresistible gravitation into the
sylvsnia mOvement precisely similar 70 The BrOd
erick movement in this State, and both viii arrive
at precisely similar result They must necessarily
fall into the bosom Ut the Black Republican party
With them, therefore. neither NJ. Douglas nor any
other Democrat can sympsthise n the SlghEest de-

The emancipation question seems to be making
STEADY, though not very rapid, progress in Russia
A good deal of attention has been excited there BY
an essay on the suhec! by Mr. KOkoref, spronin-
ent capitalist, who proposes that the Government
itself shan undertake to indemnify the proprietons
at an equal rate throughout the Empire. and thus
not only free the serfs but relieve them from all
Indebtedness to their present owners. He sets
down the value of the whole mass Of serf' at one
thousand millions of rubIes, of which value ous
half is mortgaged to the various public money-lend
ing Establishments. He proposes to repay the full
value of the one thousand millions of rubles in Gov.
errment obligations at five per cent; aud 70 set
aside one per cent yearly as sinking fand by
which these Obligations would be redeemed at the
end of 81 years. This would add 60 0O0 900 rubles
yearly to the national expenditure; and be would
raise this cum By increased taxation levied on the
euancipated serfs. The Crown peasants now pay
to the Treasury apersona tax Of seven rubles, while
the serfs only psy two rubles, making difference of
Eve rubles year escb, and this addition they could
easily pay on being set free without the obligation
Of ndemnifJing their masters from the proceeds OF
their own labor. Reckoning the number OF serfs
TO be euaneipated at Il, 100000 this increase in
the taxation would, at the beginning, yield the
CO. 600, 900 nble, required by the Government,
while the natural increase in the population would
constantly add TO the revenue, and render the
transaction not only safe, but profitable one for
the Treasury. The author of this ingenious
proposition also suggests IS the means of rendering
the execution of it easy and certain, that the eman'
cpated seIfs should be endowed with the right to
buy land, which at present a noble owner can only
sell to another nobleman; and also, that the wild
llsds belonging to the Government should be thrown
open TO purchasers.

Hitherto the initials -. b." haze been famous
in history as representing or rather suggesting the
names of two personages of various, but equal dis.
tncion. In reading this observation, every
thoughtful person will at once recall Major j.. Bag.
stock, fspiliarly described in bis own charming,
of hand conversation as "Old joe and Jack
Bunsby, mariner and practical philosopher. But
DOW q new 81. B." rises upon the historical
horizon, in the glowing richness of whose effdl-
gence beth Bunsby and Bagstock must pale their
Intellectual fires We refer, Of course, to the
author Of the note effectively recommending that
the United States Treasury should pay $4,000 to a
firm Of msrhinists in Philadelphia, as the consider
alton for employing 450 men to vote for the re-
election Of Col. T. b. Florence to Congress-
little business arrangement which is fully detailed in
Messrs. Sherman and Ritchie's Report. This note
is such rare specimen of epistoary composition
that We repeat it here in full:
The inelosed Letter from Col Patterson Of Philadelphia
''0'-''''1 - ~ - B."
After this, will anybody dispute that James
Buchanan fifteenth President Of the United States,
is the greatest of all the j. rs. And is there
not some temptation to inquire whether the author
of such note, written under such circumstances,
is more fool or a knayel Or does he combine
the characteristic Of the two in pretty equal pro.
