70 be one OF the SaHatds that issue from the eansrd
bureau OF the Hotel Lambert Of Paris. II v said
that that bureau s highly fruitful In disseminating
lies against Russia, and particularly such lies - are
calculated TO weaken the entente cordtae between
the Car ana the President However, whether this
alleged cruel treatment OF the Jews be true false
II Is certain that President Grant will wait for reli-
able information before taking any action.
While on Russian subjects may a. well give you
few points about the reported new Prime Minister
10 succeed Prince dortscnako. His name IL General
Nicnolas Inatlef and everybody here Is asking the
question. "Who Ia hePn Inatief Is o special favor
lie Of the Gear. He Is not than forty years old
and commenced his diplomatic career In 1850 as
Minister to China, where he displayed so much skill
during the difficulties between France and England
the one side and China the other, that he was
called to st. Petersburg and rewarded with the De-
partment of the "Asatics." In this new department.
he behaved with still greater ability and attracted
the attention OF the Czar himself He next sent
as Ambassador to C0nstantinople. where OF last
accounts he still was. 1natief is great friend OF
America and believes 1t TO be the great desderatum

United States. HIS elevation from Ambassador to
be Prime Minister over Gortschakon is one Of the
most remarkable OF modern times.
Nominations for the New Judicial Districts.
learn from an Official source tnat the nom.
created by an act OF Congress viii be sent to the
Senate tomorrow. II Is probable that the nomina-
tlon for the vacant judgeship on the Supreme
bench Will be sent In at the same time.
There is good deal Of speculation
not only to who the judges will be but who ia to
go upon the Supreme bench. 1t is the general I'M
preston that Attorney General Hoar VIII be ten
dered the latter appointment but 1t Is not known
whether he will accept.
Another E1nsion from Senator Drake.
Mr.. Drake q Senator from Missouri, having charac-
terized his presence In the Senate yesterday in
remarkable enusion upon the subject Of paralyzing
justice in the Supreme Court to-day let or another
equally strange resolution requiring that the moor OF
the Senate be cleared Of all persons not entitled to
the privilege thereof ten minutes before the meeting
Of that august body. Tne resolution was certainly
''pece" OF great egotism on the part OF Mr. Drake.
for 1t was never considered specially by any but
himself that the inventor OF this novel resolu-
tion was strongly entitled 70 the noor, and
should the resolution 60 into force the door,
Keepers should be instructed TO see that Mr.. Drake
is also swept out in the clearing Of the noor Drake
has been in particularly bad humor since his arri

disappointed ambition cannot be said. Anumber Of
Senators laughed at the august Missouran's propo-
sition, remarking that it was a small business.
Senator Trumbull as Political PhiInn.
thrOpist.
Il would appear that Mr.. Trumbull has not re-
ccived his share Of public patronage, or screw Ia
loose somewhere. Probably he Is popular with the
Executive and heads Of departments and receives
communications frequently. To-day this distin.
guisned Senator stood forth in the role OF reformer
ana pnilanthropist He proposed by leg
slatlve enactment TO relieve members Of
Congress from importunity-and in turn the
President and heads Of departments from
the annoyance Of the present form OF soliciting,
commencing and making appointments. This the
Senator wishes to make misdemeanor and punish
able by large lne Had the provisions Of this bill
been in force last spring the President would have
required an extra force OF about fifty clerks to
municate with the different Senators and Members,
otherwise the appointments would be entirely ir.
responsible. In very short time even the Senator
himself would doubtless have looked upon his own
measure as q nuisance and his nervousness would
have prompted him to sing out enough and return
to the old form. II would seem any kind or tinker
ing receives consideration than practical CON-
mon sense legislation.
