RUSSIAN REPORTS OF INTEREST TO
ALRxIs.-A HERALD special telegram from
ST. Petersburg, which reached us yesterday by
way of London, informs US that rumor
prevailed in the Russian capital to the effect
that the Grand Duke Alexis had married a
Russian lady since his arrival in America. We
told, ALSO that the Gar, his father, has been
opposed to the idea of the union, and imagined
that the attachment which existed between
the Grand Duke and the lady had been broken
off," This news is really interestingly lady
in the case, and Love laughing at frowning
father and Drawing, it may be, ukase. His
Imperial Highness Alexis has been favorite
with the fair ones of America since the
moment he landed but if this Love-triumph
rumor turn out to be correct he will be
idolzed-''so gallant in love and so daunt-
less"-away out there on the Plains and every
where else.

And while these messages were passing on
the wires railroad trains were rushing on with
accelerated speed bearing the promised aid to

in the suburbs of the stricken city Soon
steamships were crossing the Atlantic bring

the ways in which these important agencies
are the allies of Christianity Means for the
diffusion of general information and Of rapid
transit are Distinguishing features Of the pro-
gress of the nineteenth century, and in their
perfection and universal application they will
be the ministers Of happiness to future gene

What does the Minister of the Interior mean |?
President Theirs arbitrary measures toward

IL always accompanied with danger, and more
90 in France at the present moment than any
other European nation which practises such a

factory touching the powers Of Congress upon
the money question; and the decision that the
paper money of the United States is legal
tender in payment Of debts contracted since
the war and before the war, which necessitated
the passage of the act, is a good decision for
the government and the country. It keeps
everything in order in our financial system,

1t is good thing that Chief Justice Chase
upon this subject has been overruled.

Mr.. SUMMERS SUPPLEMENTARY CIVIL RIGHTs
AMENDMENT does not properly belong to a

usual order of bills passed by majority Of

Amnesty, in reference to the rebel political
disabilities, requires vote Of two-thirds of
each House, and is then perfect, without the
Presidents approval. Mr. Summers amend

PRINCE FREDERICK CHARLES AT ST. PETERS
BURa.-Previous to the departure of Prince
Frederick Charles and the distinguished men
who accompanied him to Russia from the
Muscovite capital a large deputation of the
German residents there waited on them and
rendered their congratulations. The delega-
ton desired to do honor to the heroes of the
recent war. The members were graciously
received, and the kindly sympathy they
eviuced for the Fatherland the Red Prince
considered as the keystone of the Russian.

tn E FIRST PATTY IN THE FIELD with its
Presidential ticket officially will be the ma
tional prohibition or temperance party, for
their national nominating convention meets at
Columbus, Ohio, on the 22d of February.
About the same time, however, the national
labor reformers meet in the same place, and
they may put up Presidential ticket. The
woman's rights women will wait to see what
course the anti-Grant republican party takes
before they move on the subject. BY August
next we shall probably have four or five Presi
dental tickets and parties before the people.

THE GREEK BRIGANDs AGAIN-The bri-
gands have again made their appearance in
Greece, under the leadership of their old chief,
Spanos. This notorious robber recently ap-
peared at the head Of band Of seven fol-
lowers, at his old haunts near Oropos. His
relatives dwelt in this place until after the
murders at Deliss, when they suddenly took
their departure to other scenes. A short time
since party of thirty ridemen of the Grecian
army came upon Sparos and bis gang, and
strange to say that, although they were within
fifty PAGES of the despe radoes when they fired
upon them, none of the wretches were hurt,
and the whole party escaped. The efficiency,
honesty or capacity of the government rife
party is not much to be commended if this is
a fair sample of the usual way they discharge
their duty to the State.

GOVERNOR PARKER delivered his inaugural
address to the New Jersey Legislature yester-
day. It is democratic to the core, and filed
with sound and practical suggestions regard
ing the welfare of the State. In case Gov
ernor Parker should become the democratic
candidate for the Presidency this inaugural
will furnish an abundance of good matter for
an electoneering campaign.

meets in Philadelphia on the 9Th of June
from which it ia understood that the present
session of Congress will close before that day.
From present appearances the prospect in the
interval of any substantial relief to the
country in the lessening Of our heavy load Of
national taxatons, internal aud external, is
very gloomy. The sectional and factious
income and other internal revenue taxes are
apparently irreconcilable upon any general
bill of relief; and so it is most likely
that the hopes of the people in this SEES
sion of Congress will be disappointed. If so,
General Grant, as the Presidential candidate
of the responsible party in power, and every
republican candidate for the next Congress,
will have to share in the responsibility to the
country in the State elections and in the ma
tional election of next autumn, from the Allan
tic to the Pacific coast. Here, then, General
Grant may have another batch of difficulties to
meet in the coming campaign, in all sections
of the country which will seriously embarrass
him, provided always there is anything like
unity or cooperation among the opposition
forces
General Grant will be the republican candl-
date for the Presidential succession. His
overshadowing personal claims, availability
and popularity will give him the nomination
against all corners and all combinations. The
democratic leaders and organs generally con-
fess that he is too strong for their party as it
stands, and that, without considerable rein
forcements from the republican camp, it will
be useless to fight against Grants reelection.
But still the chances are that, as in 1882,
these discordant opposition elements will re-
main divided; or that, as in 1864, the admin
istration boilers will creep back again to the
administration camp, and so give General Grant
an easy victory. Considering the many diff
culties which confront him, and the mutinous
leaders, ciques and factions of his party, he
might be defeated by coalition of all the hos
tile forces but as such coalition appears i'm
possible his reelection seems as plain and easy
as that of Jackson or Lincoln.

was delivered before court Of justice
in Pennsylvania;
Your honor sits high upon the
adorable seat OF justice, like the cadav-
erous clouds of the valley, flow mean
dering at your feet
This reminds us Of a speech in
New Jersey, which commenced:
Your hUnors do not sit there like
marble statues, to be waited about by
every idle breeze"
Another Western orator commenced
his barraDgue with" The important
crisis which were about to have arriy-
en- have arrOven."
Another" The court will please to
observe that the gentleman from the
east has given them very learned
speech. He has Roamed with Romu-
lus; Socked with old Socrates; Ripped
with old Euripidcs, and Cantered with
old Cantharides-but what, your hon
or, what does he know about the laws
of Wisconsin,"
A young lawyer in one of our courts
commenced his defense as foIlows:-
" May it please your honors, the dcluec
has passed over the face of the earth.
The ark has rested upon the noun
tain, and the rainbow Of justice shines
as beautifully upon my colorcd client
AS il does upon any one in this court,

We Want 90 Rally.

From careful perusal ofthe speech
es made on all sides of the political
question, we are alarmed to find that
the country is in utmost peril--upon
the very brink Of ruin, in fact. We
are called upon in the most frantic
manner by disinterested patriots, So
lictous only for the country's welfare,
to rally" The Constitution is de-
clared to be in danger-civil liberty is
threatened with total obliteration, and
all that. The unanimity of sentiment
with regard to the dangers which
menace the republic, exhibited by the
orators of the campaign, no matter
which side they are espousing, is won
deriul. 1t is the only point on which
they do agree.
We are ready to rally--anxious, in
fact. We never felt so much like raj
lying in all our lives. We have ex-
pressed SO much anxietyo on the subject,
our friends rally us about it. But which
is the true standard that is the puzzle.
1t would be exceedingly mortifying to
rally round the flag boys, and then find
that instead Of its being the right flag,
it was the flag that got left. We have
the utmost affection for the standard" I"
We don't want to see it furlcd. We
would't stand by and see q man haul
down the American flag. We would
shoot him on the bald spot atop of his
head. Civil liberty shan't be DESTROYED
if We can help it in any manner. The
constitution must and shall be prcsery
ed, even if we don't preserve any fruit
this fall. The Goddess of Liberty
shall not be reduced TO running a sew
ing machine or taking in washing, al
though she did take in Washington.
But under which liberty pole, Benzcn
ian? speak or dye your whisker.
Alas We can't determine where to raj
ly, We are thoroughly exhausted in
canvassing the matter that we almes,
fear we shall never be able to rally
again.-Eat Contributors Saturday
