EXTRAORDINARY REVELATION

EXTRAORDINARY REVELATION
N RUSSIA very remarkable af-
fair has recently been brought to
light in Russia, through the revela-
tons Of a merchant in the town of
NOrshtchansk, a fourishing place
southeast of Moscow. This mer-
chant accused one Plotitzin with
having unlawfully amasScd and Sc
creted al immense amount of mon
ey, which be said was slowed away
III cellars under the owners rrsi-
dence. Furthermore, he declared
that Plotitzin held strange doctrines
and performed hidcouS ceremonies
In secret. The representations Of
the merchant were such as To arouse
the attention of the authorities, and
they proceeded TO investigate. Plot

The PRESIDENTS FAMILY.-Mrs.
Johnson, a confirmed invlid, has
never appeared in society in Wash
inGton. Her very existence is
myth to almost every one. She was
last seen at a party given to her
grandchildren. She was seated III
one of the Republican Court chairs,
dainty affair OF satin and ebony.
She did not rise when the children,
or other guests, were presented to
her; she simply said: Ny dears, |
am an invalid; - and her sad, pale
face and sunken eyes fully proved
the expression. Mrs. johnson looks
much older than the President, and
her age does exceed his by a few
swings of the acylhe of time. She
WAS never beautiful, bnt an observer
would say, contemplating her "a
noble WOmalI-God'S first, best GIFT
to man. Perhaps il is well to call
to mind at this time that it was this
woman who taught the President 10
read after she became his wife, and
that in all their earlier years she
Was his counselor, assistant and
guide. None but wise and good
nJtlIcr could rear such daugh.

House is the judge of the qualification
of its members, they have avowed a pur-
pose to pay no attention to the judicial
decision. They have, in fact, from the
beginning evinced spirit of hostility to
all this essential in reconstruction, to the
rights and interests of the colored people
of the State, and generally to the free
exercise by Republicans oftheir privileges
as citizens.
What, then, is to be done2 Shall this
condition of things be protracted inde6-
nitely? Shall it be understood that the
Legislature of State subject to the Re-
construction acts may, by force and fraud,
undermine their work, and Illustrate the
policy they were intended to promote ?
Shall State whose reconstruction never
has been even nominally completed persist
with impunity in its attempt to revive the
exclusiveness of caste in political affairs
or be permitted to foster a system which
would soon render the free exercises Of
the suffrage worthless, and in some locali-
tiles impossible Y. Times.

BALLooSING IN GEoRGIA-Mr. Samuel
A. King, the well known aeronaut, Assem-
ded in one of his balloons from Atlanta.
Ca, on the 10th inst, accompanied by
representative Of the New Era and after
a fine sail of two hours, landed about forty
miles from that city, The voyage is dis
cribed as having been an exceeding
pleasant one, and the cloud scenery is
said to have been surprisingly beautiful.
A remarkable echo was produced by n
horn, the sound being heard rolling among
the clouds three minutes after the last note
had died away. The sound of the horn,
it Is asserted was heard distance of
twelve miles. The people Of the Chat
tahooche valley we're evidently unacquain-
ted with balloons, and the strange visitor
caused no little CONSERVATION. At one
time, while Mr.. King was running quite
low, such remarks as these were heard /:
Come down out of that hornets nest !"
Mister, what is that thing you are hang
ing to ?" "Do you live up there ?" Hang
them, watch them-they are hunting a
distillery." When the final descent was
made man was seen blowing in field

engaged in fishing threw away their fish,
and at last accounts were still running.
After the voyagers had fastened their
craft to stump and alighted, their ears
were saluted by succession of unearthly
shrieks. A very strong female voice was
then heard at prayer, which continued
until interrupted by the arrival Of a
neighboring farmer-when the lady paus-
ed in her devotions and called to him,
"Come here, Mr., the world is COM

Georgia in Congress.

The patience with which Congress has
tested the temper Of the majority in the
Georgia Legislature is the best answer to
those who represent the determination to
perfect the reconstruction Of the State as
sinister and precipitate. Excuses for inter-
ference were furnished long ago. The
expulsion Of the colored members by men
whose title TO seats was conditional upon
the forbearance of the District Comman-
der, was an outrage which might well
have justified the immediate interposition
Of Fedral authority it was so palpable
violation of the local Constitution, whose
ratification was part Of the formula of
reconstruction, that reasonable fault could
have been found with the prompt exer-
else Of a corrective power. There was a
hope, however, that the good sense of the
people would compel the the reversal ola
proceeding which not only violated local
organic, but diaegarded the spirit Of re-
construction and the declared purpose of
the Northern people. But the hope was
vain. The Democracy, having acquired
ascendeney, defed national authority
and national Opiaion Even the decision
of the Supreme Court ofthe State, affirm
ing the eligibility Of tho negro to Office,
has in no way affected the temper Of the
dominant party. On the plea that each
