of the population, and of the truly Oriental honors
which had been bestowed upon Mr.. Komissaroo, the
preseryer of the Emperors life. Nothing was said
about Karakosoa, the wOuld-be assassin, except
that be was an impoverished Russian ncbleman,
whom melancholy temper, and irritation al
losses suffered in consequence of the emancipation
of the serfs, had driven to the desperate
attempt. Later accounts state that Gen. Mu-
ravieff, the "bloody general" has been made
head of "a special committee to try Karakosofi. Re-
ports freely circulate to the effect that Karakosoff was
connected with "societies aiming at the subyersion
of the established order of the State" and that bis at
tempt, instead of being the deed of monomanlac'
was the work agreed upon by band Of consprators'
1t is also stated that strong efforts will be made to use
the event as means to influence the Emperors mind
against the liberal policy which his government has
been hitherto pursuing The facts in the case are,
however, as yet indefinite that we must wait Tor
later news before expressing definite opinion

ConmoNpLACEs REFRESHED.

In London, among other curious things not belong
ing to Queens the shrewd and sober Britons of that
most worldke of cities had at late reports such way
side benevoences smokingsaloons, readlng-halls,
coffee rooms, and, infer, respectable places for
sober work-a-day people to collect and talk ill., These
good things are the reforming social additions in
night life to which the London condensation was
parlor thcater and supper-room combined, and Of
which Thackerays droy-tragical basso was the &C.
centric star. There were many more of these odd or
commonplace resorts, fromthe firstcass oweres, pat
ronized alike by nobleman and puglist to the dens
which student of st. Giles has classified with UNI
happy science. London is crossed aud recrossed with
antiquarian and literary problems; and London at
night is lurid aud luminous with the associations
wherein Ainsworth found his sentimental murderors,
Dickens rescued his ragged wanderers and Thackeray
drew his cosmopolitan life. Possibly Londoners are
tired Of so much tragedy and taking hint of their
novel.wrters would mitigate the painful necessity of
too much patho every day with their bread and butter
by making their condition at night little more COM
Portable. Peabodys cheap and decent houses for
workingmen are a commonplace sanctuary in their
way but were very great gift, and cost great deal
of money The difficulty has been, as in every city, to
bring good things into profit where formerly many
kinds of night commerce ran in the way of a sort OF
moral cannabalism. A smoking.saloon is trivial in
moral point Of view, but it is not rum-shop nor is
it up long flight of stairs. The reading room, we
understand can be entered at from the street,
aud so with the coflee-room where ordinary people
can talk and discover their responsibility. We
have not doubt that all these places pay
we'll They have been started on private
speculation, and the world has plenty of
those who want decent elbow room, and are athirSt
for cheap and sober refreshment. We could not if we
tried, persuade many Of our publicans to become
ideaists even to this extent but are quite certain
that institutions of this kind would at this crowded
hour, be among the most novel and profitable any
commonplace restaurateur could wish to introduce
into New-York.
How our people spend their evenings is thought al
ways worthy Of serious regard 1t happens as the sta
tstics of the Excise Board would show, that they go
into all sorts of places that left open for them and
are abundantlY able to fill out all the oDportunities
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1866-05-17
that arc afforded them If there isno choice between

frowsy back psrlors poor attics without gas the
street, or whiskyshop, they go into the SHOP
though the liquor be poor and the company
bad. A saloon which has been cheap, aud
music gratis, is often crowded, and never slight
ed In proportion to the intelligence and cheapness oi
the comforts offered them the saloons are attehueu W
the great body of the humble society. The popuious
saloon life of New-York, so far from showing any
essential deprayity the part of patrons Is rather
proof positive of necessity Of kind taking thls
shape from the want of home-life which tenement
houses as at present constituted do not greatly los
ter or charm. With the wave Of foreign population
to these shores came the tide Of beer and music from
which our saloons have drawn their chief and most
sociable and orderly element.
The influence Of beer has not, upon the whole
been bad, compared to that Of whisky, which has
been perncious; and the deirous drunkard is not
so common sight now that there is fair mean
between extremes of beverage. While whisky, I'M
assisted by libertine legislation declines, beer takes
the ascendant whether legislation helps 1t or not
in the worst class Of nghthaunts it is least IN aVor
and with the body of the people it is the drink most
preferred because cheapest and least INTOXICATING
This is a good sign, and not to be deSpised;
but beside this, German beer has brought ID German
music, which Of itself ought to be an eyangenher'
Apart from the licensed and unlicensed pretty
girl system, for which foul legislation is directly TO
blame the influences Of the beer and concert-hail
have not been on the whole very alarming. Now
let us hope the paradises of rum with oil theil
boatcd thieying and unclean angels, will be put ou
Of sight.
The one good suggestion which anything Ike an IN
teligent entertainment in saloons offers is simply
this: that any fair.minded man, having an eye to
profit By his benevolence may carry improvement
further in the same direction. Music in the saloons
DAYS quite as well as beer; finer saloons and more
music-in short, greater accommodation might pay
still better Badly constructed, ill-yentated Away
oyercrowded no private business has such an enormous
patronage as some of these same saloons for which
the people are willing to pay to get BALI suocated II
if they can only get seat and hear an orchestra
Architecturally there is great scope for progress
But we do not stop here. If cheap and good thing
can be profitable, and all the old haunts are so over
crowded, who will start a reading.room, smoking
hail. or cofFee.saloon on the London plan

good chanceas they; and he did not succeed in elect

short the said Major-Genera has not been so fortu

There is kind of sad pleasure in the efforts of wise
and kind men to aid the soldier who has lost his right
hand in acquiring the use of his left We at times
men who are ambidextrous; but the gift comes so
oddly and suggests such manifest discomfort that any
effort to popularze tor make it branch of study has
failed. The war has thrown upon US large and de-
serving class of soldiers and to enable them to be
useful to themselves and society effort has been
made to cultivate the use ofthe left hand The recent
exhibition of lefhand penmansbp shows that any of
us may become ambdextrous if We try, and that
the most uncomfortable things in nature may become

Congress can ascertain BY this investigation. l..
Whether the riot was or was not premeditated. =
Whether il was wholly or partly melted by White
hatred of " free niggers." B. Whether II was or was
not especially envenomed against those Blacks who
served in the Union armies. 4. Whether others
than ex-Rebels took part in it against the
Blacks g. Whether the municipal authorities
and their police really triad TO protect the
innocent victims. 6. Whether they have, even yet,
made any earnest efforts to bring the guilty to justice
T. Whether there is public sentiment in the South
that will demand and enforce the protection of Blacks
from similar outrages in future. 8. Whether any
and, if any, what, further legislation by Congress is
necessary to protect the Blacks from hatchery and
rapine. Q. What was the animus of the burning of
the Coored schools and churches. 10. What can and
should be done to encourage and protect those who
are trying to secure to the Blacks the blessings of
Education.
The Post suggests that "a report from the COM
manding officer of the military district would
answer every purpose. We reply that Gen. Stone
man would not feel authorized to investigate the mat
ter 50 broadly it needs nyestgaton-that no would
feel constrained TO regard IL in a military aspect
without reference to its moral aspects, or TO its
remoter impulses and it, lessons. The fullest inquiry
that he would feel authorized TO make would no wise
preclude or render needless such scrutiny as the
Committee should and we trust will, make.
The simple fact that Congress is bent on probing
this outrage to the quick will do more for the potec
ton of the Southern Blacks from future outrages than
would an addition of twenty regiments to our regular
army The salutary apprehension 1t must ineite
the cautious circumspection it will suggest, will be
worth to the cause Of Peace and Justice many times
their cost. If any blow The Post can strike its friends
could surprise u.s. its cay at the sending of this Com
