A ROYAL BIGAML,ST
A Sensation in the Capital of the Russia

A scandaous affair has afforded food for
gossip TO the people OF ST. PetersDurgh for some
time past. Many months ago (says a correspon-
dent) there was vague report that the position
oil the Russian Vice Chancellor, Prince G Grtscha-
kob, had been somewhat shaken by an intended
matrimonial project which the Emperor dad not
at all approve. The Prince had offered home
to young relative, a Madame Akimfjew, the
wife OF lieutenant who had been expelled from
ms regiment Tor his dssipated habits and disre-
putaple conduct. 1t was generally believed that
as soon as the divorce suit could be brought to
satisfactory termination, and the d spen satIon
necessary for marrying a relation could be OBJ
tanned from the Greek Church, Madame AkImt-
jew would exchange her not very harmonious
name for that of Princess Gortschakof Bnt
though the suit had been pending for several
years, no judgment had been pronounced, and
me delay was attributed to the wishes, perhaps
the commands, OF very exalted parsonage.
This suspicion was in all probability well
rounded, but recent events have proved that i'm
other respects the public was alogether on a
wrong scent. Prince and q Minister is all
very We'll but Madame Aklmjew flew at higher
game, tor the happy man of her choice was no
other than the Duke OF Leuchtenberg neDhew
OF the Gar OF all the Russias The Emperor
not uunaturally, was extremely oppo led TO his
relatives intended marriage and threat eped his
seVerest disrleasure 1t was. however ali TO
no purpose. Madame AkImfje " left St. Peters
burg under the pretence OF visiting German
watering place for the benefit OF her health and
about the same time Prince Leuchten berg went
secI etly On board an English ship at Riga The
place chosen for the rendezvous is not stated,
but at all events n marriage ceremony was
solemnized betwee en- the iugitives by a Russian
priest. 1t is hardly necessary to observe that
the marriage Is invalid, as the lady had hus
pand living at the time, from whom she had not
been divorced. Considering the cool publicity
OF the bigamy, The high rank of one OF the
parties, and the defiance of the Russian auto
craf the case IS certainly a peculiar one, and
may still, perhaps, affect Prince Gofischakoff's
position, as 1t was only through mis- influence
mat the lady succeeded in obtaining her pass.

but between princes and political marshais there

process of turning him up will be quicker in
democratic France than arlstocratic Prussia,
The single point which in this respect Is unfa-
vorable to France is her autocratic reqtme,
which in eighteen years may have exhausted
her stock of genius but it must not be forgotten
that this regime has been less autocratc In the
army than In any great department of French
life. The empire has few ministers of genius
cynics say but one-but the army must have
many an original general in its ranks. We are
far from the folly of attempting to predict,
should the great fight come off, to which side
victory viii incline, but we can venture to say
with confidence that North Germany has reason,
serious reason, to think deeply before she aban
dons the hope OF peace with France.
Looking Out for Farragut.
The Grece, OF the 18th ult., contains the fol.

American squadron to the Pireus:-
The United States men.of. war Franklin and
FIolic have anchored at Syra Just In time to TAX e
part In the public rejocines upon the occasion
OF the Prince Royals birth. The population of
Syra has given the crews of these vessels the
heartiest reception.
The visit OF Admiral Farragut is impatently
awaited at Athens. The inhabitants of the city
are as curious to see him they are desirous
OF tes,hying to him their admiration of the
talents and courage displayed during the late
war IN the United States.
Nowhere outside America are Admiral Farra-
CUTS exploits better known and appreciated than
in Greece; nowhere, also, did the cause of the
United States possess as warm we'll wishers as
among the Greeks. In the triumph of the Union
the Greeks have hailed the victory of friendly
people at the same time as the consolidation of
liberal and republican institutions, which are
also In vogue in Greece Notwithstanding the
nonarchical form with which their attributes
are invested among us.

Affairs In Alaska-HOw the New Regime
Works

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 9.-General Halleck
furnishes reliable information in regard to
abuses existing in ALASKA, which have been
made the subject of special investigation
during his recent visit to this territory. Much
of the dissatisfaction among the natives arises
from the fact that the japan Company carried
on sort of patriarchal government, taking
charge of everybody and everything in the
settlement. Under the new regime, the people
are thrown upon their OWE resources, and do
not understand the change yet. The immediate
effect OF introducing number of strange white
traders, adyenturers, and soldiers has had bad
effect on semi civilized community like that Of
Alaska, and the habits OF the new comers and
their method of civiizing the natives, often
take the form of mlstrusting them in full.
General Halleck did not find it necessary to
court-martial any officer, though probably
many changes will take place before matters
work smoothly. .
Iti said that Hutchinson, Kohn Co, the sue
cessors of the Russian Fur Company, are in
occupation OF building which apparently by
the treaty should belong to the United States,
but II any wrong has been done to the Govern
ment it was by Prince Waksutof, the recog-
nized agent of Russia, who delivered the
property in question to the firm instead of to
General Rousseau, the agent of the United
States. 1t is also reported that men and their
families have been deported from place to place,
the presumption being that the removals were
made against their will, they being sent from
Sitka to Kodiak and the Amoor river; but SO
Tar as the military authorities know they need
not have removed against their will certainly
no violence has been used to get them aboard
vessels.
1t is evident that Hutchinson, Kohn d Co.'s
agents are striving to impress the natives with
the idea that the new company has succeeded
to all the rights of their predecessors. They
have also threatened that the soldiers should
punish the natives who sold furs to other Amerl.
can traders. The military are instructed to
make no difference between traders but to treat
all alike. General Halleck has taken steps to
inform the natives around the principal ports
of the standing of the above firm, and OF the
impartial position of the troops. The partners

Special Despatch TO The Evening Telegraph.
BALTIMORE, Sept 10.-The Democratic nomi-
nations for Congress made yesterday are Hon.
Samuel Hambleton, First District; Stephenson
Archer, Second District; Thomas Swami, Third
District. The Fourth District continues unable
to agree. Adjourned until to day. Fifth Dis
trict, Frederick Stone renominated. There was
much wrangling at the Fourth District Con-
vention. Swami will be opposed by the inde-
pendent candidate.
There is no doubt whatever that the wires
are now being worked to send large number
of Mary land voters to Pennsylvania to vote in
the adjoining counties at your October election,
as we have no election here in that month, and
thus cheat the Republicans out of the Keystone
State. The design is to send these voters a
week or ten days in advance. Discoveries have
already been made here of such plot.

;. The Louisville (Ky.) Journal tells the follow
About three weeks ago negro woman named
Martha holland, who has for some time past
been in the employ of Mr.. Brasier, and worked
as field hand upon his place in Christian
county, about nine miles west OF Hopkinsyille
In this State, was bitten in the leg by dog.
Inc wound was small, and as no evil effects
were anticipated, nothing beyond the ordinary
treatment was resorted TO. About one week
after the biting occurred, unmistak able symp-
toms were manifested. The first decided evil
dence was given by the girl menacing and run
ming after Mrs. Brasier, who was rescued by her
son, James Braser, who caught the girl and
tied her, but in doing SO Martha scrached him
from the effects of which he has since gone mad.
and Is now in the asylum at HopkinsVllle. His
condition Is almost as bad as that of the girl
After this became known in the neighborhood.
meeting was held by the people, and they sen,
fenced the girl TO be shot.
The execution of the. sentence was delayed
ana bnally revoked, ana 1t was decided to send
the girl to the lunatic asylum at Lexington. as
that is the only institution in the State where
Golored patients OF this character are received.
The dog that has caused all thus trouble bit a
little cur at Hopkinsville some eight or ten days
ago, and 1t is said that the victim died from the
effects OF the bite. Every officer but one in
Christian county declined to take the girl in
charge to deliver her to the keeper OF the asylum
at lexington. This one is Deputy Sheriff James
A. Bobbltt. To prevent the possibility OF further
harm to others, as the girl was constantly trying
finger nails were closely trimmed, and her teeth
were knocked out! 1t is impossible to keep
clothes upon her, and she was all day yesterday
in her cell naked.
''Oue remarkable fact connected with this case
is that The patient refuses to taste food OF any
Kind, or to drink water. She is so obstinate in
this particular that Sheriff Bobbltt informs us
that it has been twelve days since she has taken
nourishment of any description, or swallowed
drop of water. She has not had lucid in-
terval since the attack, but has slept. Her
conduct in the cell is 6osterous, and indicates
no BODILY pain. She will sing. call the names
OF acquain'aLces, whistle, curse, jump, aud
wa'low about on the floor. If you speak TO her
she will answer you, but not Iptellgently.
Several physicians OF this city were to have
visited her yesterday, but we believe they did
not. The doctors do not agree in estimating
the character of the attack, DR.. A. A. Rowland'
OF Christian county, pronounces it monomania,
while others say that it is clearly hydrophobia
to the latter of which opinions we incline; but
we leave them to determine the point. We have
given concise statement of the facts as they
were given to us by the officer having her in
chalge.n

General Dix on the Political Situation
i'm the United states.

| in the United states.
The New York Rerdids correspondent in Paris
| writes under date of August 28:-
Certain English paper writers, very badly
Informed, ana certainly very little interested IN
| the grand political campaign of the coming fall
| in the United States, have undertaken to state
| the views Of two or three OF the American Min
listers abroad on the questions involved in the
coming election. One paper has stated in the
most confident manner that Mr.. Reverdy john
| son and General Dix were head and head for
| seymour as the next President of the United
States. This statement have reason to know is
rightly believed to be untrue as 10 Mr.. johnson,
and certainly 1t Is as to General Dix The latter
| speaks with the utmost freedom and frankness
on the subject with all, aud has no disguise
when one asks his opinion. He says that he
should regard the election of Mr.. Seymour at
this juncture great calamity, and that the
only hope for the peace and tranquility of the
country during the next four years is in the
hrmness, good sense, and patriotism OF General
Grant. He speaks with the same freedom
against the resolution passed by the Fourth OF
July Convention OF Democrats for paving the
hye-tWenties in paper, and considers 1t gross
violation OF the public faith pledged under
circumstances OF imminent danger and difficulty.
He says that the wel-known indecision of Sey-
mour, as well as his conduct during the Rebal-
lion, and the repudiating declaralon OF the
Convention held in New York which put him in
nomination. ought TO be decisive OF the ap-
preaching contest In every form General Dix,
mindful of the trials and suferings through
which our country has passed during The
Rebellion, and with a full knowledge of the
causes and influences that prompted il and
carried 1t on so long, and the elements that are
now ruling the Democratic party, is an avowed
opponent OF the Democratic party and its leaders
and candidates in the coming campaign. He is
an open and earnest advocate of the election of
General Grant, through which he sees career
OF peace, prosperity, and tranquility for our
country. l do not hesitate 10 stale the opinions
OF General Dix thus fully, for be has expressed
them without the slightest reserve to more than
one of my intimate acquantances. No one who
has talked with him on the subject has been left
in the dark relative to his opinions, which are
essentially as have stated above. OF nv own
personal knowledge am sure that have glveu,
in brief manner, General Dix's views on the
coming contest.

Twenty-one horses and a large quantity of
provisions were also captured. This ends
