OUR RUSSIAN VISITOR. As the Rus
sian feet ncars our shores, the interest
in everything appertaining to the young
Russian Grand Duke Alexis grows, and
the committees engaged in preparing for
the reception at New York and Wash
ington are at white heat with business.
Alexis Alexandrowitch came into the
world on the l4th of January, 1850, the
day after the new year, as the Russian
calendar runs. Emperor Nicholas was
then alive, and the palace Of the Grand
Duke hereditary was in great commotion.
The new arrival seemed hardly inclined
to live, and twice message was borne to
the royal mother that her boy was dead
but each time the news was contradicted.
At last it was decided that the little
stranger would live, and the old Emperor
christened him "Colonel of the Ickathir-
enenburgh Infantry Regiment" an impe-
rial honor.
Alexis was throughout his childhood
feeble, and it was generally believed that
he would not survive boy-hood. At four
years old he was pale, spiritual-looking
child, with dark eyes and blonde hair
The Emperor Nicholas consoled himself
with his presence when the cruel war was
in progress, and when he felt his heart
breaking under the terrible blows dealt
upon his unfortunate armies. In 1856,
young Alexis accompanied his parents to
Moscow to the coronation, and saw his
father made Emperor. On the return to
st. Petersburg the education of Alexis
at once began, and was continued with
unceasing vigor for a number Of years.
At twelve the Prince understood English,
Russian, German, and French, and spoke
the four languages fuently. In 1852,
having accompanied his uncle, the Grand
Duke Constantine, on a trip to the for
tress of Sweaborg, the vessel got into the
way Of terrible storm, in which the
young prince behaved so intrepidly that
every one declared him born for q sailor
He petitioned his father so hard to be
allowed to follow the sea that the Czal
finally gave him an honorary appointment

stationed in the seaports of Finland-ar

at sea few weeks every year. Alexis

NEW YORK, Sept. 10. Gen. McClel-

residence near Orange, N. j., declared

Mayor Hall, offering him the position of

yesterday afternoon sent to the Mayors

DEAR siRs;--I take pleasure in stating that
during the past three weeks | have been under
your treatment for chronic catarrh and the result
thus far has beeen in the highest degree saisfac-
tory to me-much moro so than had reason to
anticipate. The disease which had troubled me

many kinds of remedies without avail seems to
be rapidly becoming removed. | cannot too
highly recommend your careful and skilful treat
ment.

under your treatment for tho same length of time
for partial deafness of long standing, Join. with
me in expressing her appreciation of your care
fulness and skill in the treatment Of her difficult
case. At the present time the symptoms quite
plainly indicate substantial and permanent BEN
eft, if not perfect and complete cure
Feeling perfectly confden that those similarly
troubled if they apply to you will not find them
selves deceived and defraudcd, but honestly adj
vised and professionally treated with Intelligence
and skill, make this statement in regard to my
own experience with entire cheerfulncss.

The Pre.adenf'. Message.

The publication of the Presidents Mes
sage has become one of the most thankless
and useless conventionalities of the press.
Even those who read it, and there are uot
many, are cheated, for the space could be
occupied by more interesting and important
matters. The time was when the Message
of the President was a very important
paper, foreshadowing the legislation OF the
country. Now it is the meaningless echo
Of an honorable custom. 1t carries with it
no weight with Congress, and means moth
ing or anything that partisans wish.
Contrary to our usual custom We do not
publish President GRANTS Message in full.
The ordinary details Of the Departments
are omitted. We give all, however, in
which our readers can possibly have the
least interest or curiosity in reading.
There arc few subjects only touched Oh
in the Message i'll which our people will
feel the least interest and these viii he
turned from with disappointment and dis
gust. We refer to the enforcement Of the
Ku-Klux Laws and Amnesty.
The p esident is as lame and impotent III
his concl Isions in regard 70 the means Ia
ken 70 enforce the Ku-Klux law rs he was
hasty and violent in the orders by which he
began their enforcement. He justities the
proclamation OF martial law in several
counties Of South Carolina, because the
proclamation Of flee days previous to sur
render arms, ammunition, uniforms dis
cuises and other warlike implements had
not been complied with. While IA regular
trial i'll the judicial tribunals of the United
States" is promised, it would seem to the
hundreds Of prisoners now confined at Co
lumbia but ~ empty mockcry, as he pre-
Judges their eases in announcing that lit Is be-
! licved that 10 innocent person Is now III
! c,lstody"-a hint which the legal blood
| thugs, who do his bidding, will not be slow
! in taking. President GRANT might have
| done his work as effectively and more gra-
ciously, had he given his orders privately
and not have disgraced his Message by such
| partisanship.
The President recommends amnesty
not because he believes our feQple entitled
to such clemcncy, but that those banned
are not more guilty than those admitted t.
full fellowship under the laws. He whine'
| a little about 'social ostraeisII," but the
miserable subjects of his compassion have
outraged decency so long, that even thu
rigors Of their masters Ku-Klux Legislation
can not shield them from the execration
personal and political, orths good and tru
people Ofthe South.

Of such O death IL worth all the sacrifices we
make"
Rev. Mr.. Martin presented the claims Of
Washington st. Church, Columbia, South
Carolina, and raised 500.
Rev. DIR. Koran presented q substitute
for the old rule, touching the examination
Of the various classes in Conference, which
was adopted. This substitute permits no
member Of any class to pass an approved
examination who does not obtain q general
average of u on all his studies, nor who
falls below B on any one of his studies
The numbers under this rule, range from
to 10.
From the adoption of this substitute, it
will be seen that as church, we are fully
PurpOsed that no sister church shall exceed
us in the thorough qualification of our min
sters for their appropriate work; and in
fact, the requirements of our preachers for
several years past, has perhaps been as
rigid as those of any other body of clergy
men in the land.
After the dispatch of much more bust
ness. not of general interest, on motion the
Conference adjourned with the benediction.
