AE WASHINGTON, Nov. 27 1866. I
The conservative paper of the largest circu-
lation in this city is publishing a series of sig
nificant editorials upon the future of the South.
In its issue of this evening it says:
There never was q more mistaken idea than
that of the hardship of the terms demanded by
the North as the condition precedent to the re-
admission of the lately rebelious States to Con-
gress. One may search the history of every
the history of nations has been preserved, to
lind terms granted to the unsuccessful party
as leuient and truly fraternal as those which
Congress, on behalf of the victors in our war
now offers the South"
The article quoted concludes: glow
Never were ink and breath more signally
thrown away than in arguing, at this time, to
show that the Constitution fails to give the
victors in the late war complete power over
the terms upon which the lately rebellious
States shall be PERMITTED to resume their po-
sitiOn in the Union"
Hon. Thaddus Stevens, who is busily prepar-
ing for the work of the coming session, intends
to call up his enabling act at an early day. He
also expects to press limited cOnfiscation bill,
which will prevent the return of lands assign
ed to freedmen and lands upon which our mil
tary cemeteries are located, and some other
classes of land, to the hands of prominent reb-
els. l.-....
The French minister has, on two occasions
within week, stated positively that the only
information he had regarding the Campbell
Sherman mission was what he had gathered
from the newspapers.
Commissioner Rollins has consented to the
use OF his name as a candidate for the Con.
gressiOna; nomination in his district.-Dispatc5

A FINE MoNUMENT.-The last number of the
Transcript contains an incendiary article,
which naturally recommends itself to our Rad
ical sympathies An old resident who signs
his communication @P.." after referring to Mr.
Allen Haines' presentation to the city of the
only remaining column Of that fine building,
the old exchange, continues as follows:
Let me suggest as an appropriate disposal of
this relic of two fires-that it form the shaft of
monument in commemoration of the Great
Fire of July, 1866. The base or pedestal should
be suitably inscribed, and as the Fire Monu-
ment of London is surmounted by gilded
pyramid of fame, the Portland Fire Monument
might be surmounted by the city arms-a
phenix rising from bed of flame-a device
now rendered doubly appropriate.
The monument should be located somewhere
within the burnt district, perhaps in the centre
of the new Park, but would suggest the Gen.
tire of the new market place as being nearer
the geographical centre Of the great confagra-
tion. The fire department., have no doubt,
will take pride in raising the funds for such a
monument. Portland has yet to boast of hav-
ing single monument and 1 very much doubt
if there is another city of its size in the North
ern States that has not at least one.

CHURCH BULDNG.-The question is often
asked, What progress toward building Con-
gregational Church on the burnt district?" /
cannot learn that anything very cffectual has
been done as vet, by either the Second or Third
Parishes True, one Society has asked for funds
from abroad, to erect building in memorial of
DE- Payson. understand the response has not
been very generous, probably for the reason
that little or nothing has yet been done by the
people themselves. The feeling is general that
one Congregational Society is enough for that
part of the city, and with union and enterprise
it could be made strong one Many persons
in that locality stand ready to engage heartily
In the work if they could have the usual in
ducements of such undertakings, viz: the
choice of teacher, church officers, &C., &c.
The four months effort to build on the fame
of Dr. Payson has failed, and properly enough
God is not the God of the dead, but of the Iiv-
ing" Payson's work was well done, and "his
record is on high" The best memorial" to
him is an imitation of his piety and ZEAL
repeat, many are ready to embark in build
ing new house. They will begin by making
generous contributions themselves; will expect
the Parish property of the two Societies to be
turned in, and after doing something substan-
tial themselves, will seek generous assistance
from their friends in the upper part of the city.
Appeals abroad can then be made If necessary.
am almost tempted to say, what have new
er yet divulged, that have in my pocket the
reliable offer from abroad, to present this church
when built, with large bell and clock, equal
or superior to any in this city.

A RUSSIAN IMPERIAL MARRIAGE.-The mar
riage of the Czarewich and the Princess Dag
mar took place in st. Petersburg, with great
ceremony, on the Sth instant. A correspond
ent writes
At certain part of the service the Care
wich and his bride stepped forward from the
circle OF the Imperial family, and having been
conducted by the Emperor to a raised dais,
Joined in the prayers of the Metropolite. Later,
two younger princes of the blood, one of whom
recognized as Prince Alexis, approached and
held above the heads of the bridal pair the mar
riage crowns peculiar to the Orthodox ritual.
They resemble in shape and size the Episcopal
tiaras, and seem to be of silver wire, or some
such material, interviewer with silk. This sin
gular ceremony continued for about twenty
minutes, the officiating princes being repeated
ly obliged to change their hands from weari-
ness. Suddenly the music became softer, quick
er and more melodious. Its eloquent notes
predicted the speedy consummation of the hal
lowed act. To this tune the bride and bride
groom were led thrice around the altar by the
be mau and wife.

The Russians lin Central Asia.


The Russian Empire is in point of territory
far ahead OF all other countries of the world,
It's present area being nearly double that of
CHINA, and nearly three times that of the Uni
ted States, and it still continues to extend at a
rapid rate The independent tribes lining the
southern frontier have gradually been absorb
ed, and China and Persia have had to cede
provinces equal in extent to the largest States
OF Europe. During the last two or three wears
the advance of Russia in Central Asia has at
tracted particular attention. There is a coun-
try, enclosed, by Russia, China, British India
and Persia, and known BY the names of Turk
estan, Turan or Independent Tartary, which is
furnishing the most recent additions to Russian
territory. 1t contains about one-fifth of the
territory of the United States, with nomadic
population Of only about 100000, belonging
to various tribes, and consists of the territory
OF the Turkomanni, the little Khanate of Mag
meme, and the three more powerful Khanates of
khlva, Bokhara and Khokand. Intestine wars
have been the chronic malady OF these regions
from time immemorable, and as regards their
foreign relations, they were on the whole res
tricted to outrages against the few merchants
and travellers who ventured to penetrate into
the lnhospltable land. For some time Russia
has begun to gain firm footing in this coun-
try. 1t has destroyed the Khanate of Khokand,
the largest and most populous of the Khanates,
embracing an area of more than 1000 En-
gllsh square miles, and population of about
3OO0OO0 Last year considerable portion of
the Khanate was formally annexed to Russia
under the name of the Province of Turkestan
Hecently, the russian papers inform us of the
formal annexation of Tashkend one of the
most important cities of the country, which
already numbers 100000 inhabitants, and is
rapidly becoming the greatest commercial city
of Central Asia. The general expectation is,
that the remainder of Turkestan will be an
nexed in the course of a few years, and that
thus Russia and England will be brought face
to face in India
The growing power of Russia is one of the
most important features in the political history
of our century. There is this important differ
ence between the annexed territories of Russia
and the colonies of the other Great Powers #
Europe, that most of the latter are sure in the
course oftme to resume their autonomy, while
Russia will, without doubt, thoroughly absorb
all the tribes of the annexed territory, and thus
constitute one nationality which, it can hardly
be doubted, will be and remain the most pow
erful of the worldly, Y. Tribune,

The POULTRY MARKET.-The market yes-
terday was well supplied and the turkies were
unusually choice. Prices ranged from % to
30 cents pound. For geese % to % cents {:
for chickens 20 to 25 cents; and for ducks
$1.25 to $500 per pair. The prices from the
wagons did not vary much from what was
asked at the provision shops -s..
AT the shop of Messrs. E. G. Pennell & Co.,
we saw some of the handsomest chickens in
the market, raised by VIM Boothby, King,
Staples and Nathaniel Staples, in Limington,
which sold quickly at 81 cents per pound
Some fine Bremen geese in the same shop
brought 80 cents per pound. This firm ran off
over two tons of poultry from their place, yes
terday. ~
H. W. a. Deering, Wilson, Pettingill Sc
Fullam, Chenery & TAYLOR, Greenough 8
Morse, and other provision shops displayed a
bountiful supply of handsome fowls and a
good business was transacted at all the shops
yesterday. -
Those who preferred spareribs could be ac-
commodated with handsome ones at 15 to 1s
cents per lb. Beef was plenty, but not so much
in demand, as everybody must have fowl on
Thanksgiving day. s -s /

FRIGHTFUL CONDITION OF SPAIN. -
The Paris Temps Correspondent in Spain
draws deplorable picture of the condition of
that country with Narvaez, whose advent
to power was so admirably prepared by the fu-
sillades of O'Donnell, a merciless reaction has
come upon that unhappy country. At this
nom ent the peninsula is prey to the fright
ful orgies OF obscurantism, violence and des-
potism. The so-called moderadoes who have
acquired power are effecting the ruin, exhaus-
ton and decentralization of the Spanish people.
Prescription has struck, or is on the eve of
striking, all that is elevated amongst the lib
eral party in arms, in literature, and in public
life. Spies and informers are everywhere; the
monks are masters, and education is to be re-
celved at the confessional. A sign from Faith
er Claret or sister Patrocinio, who have more
influence than ever over the Queen, begets
mighty stir. The treasury is empty; the
taxes must be paid in advance; but whilst the
contractors of public works remain unpaid,
the money squeezed from the taxpayers The
municipal elections have been held through
out the country, and the government party are
chanting the victory they won; but a little in
quiry shows that not one elector in ten has
voted, and that those who voted are either
persons in government offices or persons be-
longing to the church. Commerce and trade
are at their last gasp; no one knows to-day
what tomorrow may bring forth. Indignation
is so general and despair so profound that ev-
erybody, except those who profit b. the extrav-
agance of the existing state of things, is ex-
pecting an immediate catastrophe. Such in a
few words, is the position of Spain, and it is in
the midst OF these terrible symptoms of disor-
ganizatiOn that Narvaez and his colleagues are
piously agitating, in order to save the Pope's
temporal power, or at least to induce the Pope
to come to them if he should abandon Rome.
The Roman question is that which troubles
these conservatives in delirium, who do not see
the chasm yawning at their own feet"
