A female savior and her apostles
are creating prodigious sensation
in the southern part of the Russian
Empire. The Russian papers cay
that the leader of these women,
whose name is Anastasia Gabacre-
wicz, claims to have performed a
number of miracles, having made
the blind see and lame walk. A
vision first revealed to her that she
was the daughter of God, selected
to suffer for the redemption of her
sex in the same way as Christ suf
fered for that of the other. I'm
mediately after this revelation she
gave up eating meat and drinking
brandy, and prepared herself for
her mission. The Holy Ghost then
possessed her and gave her the
power to work wonders with mere
word. She pretends to be able to
resurrect even the dead by simply
touching them, and SO strong is the
faith of the ignorant masses in this
new prophecies, that the prision to
which she has been consigned by
the authorities has become a place
of pilgrimage for thousands. The
sick are brought from distant local
tiles to receive the assistance of the
inspired woman, and the keepers
! receive large bribes for permission
to see her. Every day new stories

Speaking of the Wholesale denun-
citation of Office holders the Ottum
wa, Iowa, Courier, say: There is
danger of the popular feeling be-
coming extravagant in charges of
wrong and corruption It is bruit
ed about from the lips of reformers
at this day that corruption abounds
through the length and breadth Of
the land, and generally that it in
vades all tho offices until in the
minds of many it comes to be con.
sidered almost a disgrace to hold
Office in this country. With q sneer,
it is said, this or that one is an Of
fee holder, and that alone is deem
ed by many sufficient to condemn
him. The fact is, there never was
a time in the history Of this coun-
try when in proportion TO the num-
ber of officers and the amount of
business done and funds handled
that there was a less percentage Of
embezzlement or wrong doing of
any kind. The officers of this
country will compare favorably with
those Of any previous period in the
history of the country. pei

The friends Of Mrs. Benton, ar
rested on the 10th instant ct New
York, As an important witness in
the Stokes case, allege that the evi-
dence she would give would be the
following: She had been visiting
friend in the Gland Central Hotel,
half an hour before the commission
of the murder, and happening to
look ont of the parlor window, saw,
on the opposite side of the way,
Edward s. Stokes. She beckoned
him, and he crossed Broadway
and entered the hotel, then came
up to the parlor and conversed with
her over fifteen minutes. She left
him in the parlor; descended the
ladies' stairway, and was just going
out Of the street door when Fisk
drove up. Fisk met her, and talk
ed with her in front Of the hotel for
few moments, Fisk then entered
the hotel, and she had started away
when she heard the report of
pistol and saw q boy run out Of the
hotel in evident fright She went
back to the ladies' entrance and had
again entered the hotel, when, look
ing up the stairway, she saw two
men carrying Fisk up stairs. As
she was going up stairs she found,
on one of the lower steps, . revol-
yer, and from it's position thought
it must have belonged to Fisk. She
had concealed the revolver, and had
gone up stairs to her friend g room.
That friend had persuaded her not
to reveal the finding of the pistol.
Since the murder she had said no.
thing to the authorities concerning
Fisks revolver, fearing it might in
jure the chance of Stokes acauit-
tai.
Mrs. Benton's maiden name was
Minnie White. She was born in
Lexington, Kentucky, in 1885,
Soon after reaching womanhood
she went to New Orleans, and in
that city remained for over fifteen
years, being especially notorious
during the war. In 1868 she mar
ried General William p. Benton,
Of Richmond, Indiana, then on du-
ty THAT place. He died very sud-
denly q short time after the marri-
age. Mrs. Benton, in. 1865, went
to Washington, remained there
three years, and then went to New
York, where she has since resided.
In 1871, it is alleged, she became
acquainted with James Fisk, ir.,
and Edward s. Stokes.

A Keokuk lady, while engaged in
the pursuit Of her domestic duties,
encountered . mouse in the Hour bar
rel. Now, most ladies under similar
circumstances would have uttered
few feminine shrieks, and then sought
safety in the garret. But this one
possessed more than the ordinary de-
gree of female courage. She SUM-
moned the hired man, and told him to
get the shot gun, call the bull dog. and
station himself at convenient dis
tance. Then. she climbed half way
up stairs and commenced TO punch the
-four barrel vigorously with pole.
Presently the mouse made its appear

bull dog went in pursuit. The man

that she was killed, lit out, and has

man of democratic ideas, for he loved the

from the peaceful system of the second
Napoleon, France bore a terrible foreign
and . still more destructive civil war,
losing valuable portion Of her produe-
tive territory. She promptly paid OF
from her accumulated wealth the

Germany as the condition of peace
without wishing to excite any disputa-
tation, it will be admitted that the twenty
years of order and industry which pre-
ceded the war of 1871 must have aided

that to him who had guaranteed that Pc

of the patriotic merit of freeing the cOur-

to reward faithfulness to party with ap-
pointment to Office? If Messrs. Long

to their sworn duties, succeeded in stem

all the recognition bestowed upon them
by grateful party.
We put the question directly to these
gentlemen if such have not been their
views in the past especially when their
own fealty to party interests have been up
for consideration We think the appoint
ment records of Governor Warmoth would
clearly establish the affirmative, and they
must therefore put forth some stronger
defense OF theft action or the cloud Of
suspicion now oSershadoWing them will

We venture the assertion boldly that

For the instruction of the PioGyt#s we
would say that Congress does not count
the electoral vote on the fourth of March,
but installs the new administration on
that day. The vote for President and
Vice President will be counted as usual on
the second Wednesday of February, which
this year comes on the twelfth day OF the
month. Thus our contemporaries pretty
theory of the necessity for immediate
CongressioI al action in Louisiana matters,
as a prerequisite to the determining OF
who shall be our next rulers, is endangered
by the want of time in which to make an
investigation of the wrongs done by the
fusiouists. The investigation will come,
however, in good time, and the sooner the
better, both for the new State government
and the deluded people whom the Pico-
y,tae and its allies have wickedly azrayed
against ii.
