citation of our national credit and the failure
Of the scheme, as it rests on no other fOunda-
ton than tho argument that since five per
cent bonds are equal in value to gold, the
greenbacks must be equal to gold ii they are
made equal to five per cent bonds.
OF course if the five per cents fall
below the value of gold, the grcenbacks fall
with them. The Governments supply of five
per cent bonds would finally be exhausted. and
whenever it was, the forced connection be-
tween the bonds and grecnbacks would cease,
and we should be left, 80 far as the question
of specie payments is concerned, precisely
where we stand now. The market price of
gold here might, for the moment, fall to near
par in greenbacks, which could hardly fail to
cause an export of specie-a strange prepara-
ton for the restoration of specie payments.
But this could be but temporary effect.

GRAND DUKES And GRAND LARCENY.


Mr.. Hepworth Dixon wrote a book some
time ago to prove that Russia is free coun-
try. He scarcely succeeded in impressing
Western Europe with this belief, but his fail
ure was doubtless due in great measure to
the fact that his narratives always find a
skeptical public. If some gentleman of less fame
had said all that he told us about the progress
of democracy in the Russian Empire, it could
not have failed to excite universal interest
The truth is that profound change is taking
place in the structure of Russian society and
the habits of Russian thought. The late
arrest of the Grand Duke Nicholas, the
nephew of the Gar is one of the most striking
of the incidents which have come to light
from time to time, to show that the relations
of the imperial family to the law have suf-
fered remarkable modification within few
years. The young Prince, who is the eldest
son of the Grand Duke Constantine, is un-
derstood to have stolen his mothers dia-
monds and presented them to well known
French actress" 1t is reported that the
Emperor, being consulted in regard to tho
scandal, said that the law should take its
course; and upon this the young larcenist
was arrested and his house searched, as if he
had been tho humblest mujik in st. Peters,
burg.
This is singular advance from the time
when the members of the imperial household
were so far above the law that they could in
dulge with Impunity in almost any species of
felony from perjury to murder. II is indeed
questionable whether so democratic q legal
procedure could have been put in exercise in
the case of so exalted a parsonage anywhere
else in Europe. 1t is scarcely possible that
such scandal should have been suffered to
be published in any constitutional monarchy.
much less in one so absolute as that of the
AutOcrat of all the Russas. The affair of
the Queens Necklace in the last CEN
tury became the subject Of judicial
investigation, but that was only because, after
the scandal had arisen from the folly of the
Cardinal de ROhan and his temptress, it be-
came necessary to crush the Countess dc la
Motto by public infamy to save the reputa-
ton of Marie Antonette. If the theft had
been simple one among members of the
same family, 1t would never have become
pubic. This was shown in q much more
recens case in Paris. Her Majesty, Isa-
bel the Second of Spain, called the
Generous, because she was never able
to refuse anybody anything except her
husband, missed some valuable Jewels. and.
on informing the police, it was discovered
that they were offered for sale at jewellers
in the Rue do la Paix. The audacious lapi-
Diary was called upon to show how he had
obtained them. and tho inquest came to an
abrupt end on bis informing the Project that

crisis causes great excitement at Versailles. The
efforts to form a ministry from the Right and Left
Centers continue but up TO this hour have met with
no result. The Right and Left Centers seek TO
exclude tho Bonapartists from the Government
Some dispatches from Versailles assert that the
Cabinet will be organized tomorrow from the Right

that journal that the vote against tho Ministry IN

The House of Representatives very decidedly
refuse to send an investigating committee to
Arkansas. Congress is invited. as in South
Carolina, to see if there be a republican form
form of government in Arkansas. The two
cases, however, are entirely different. There
are no rival claimants in South Carolina; there
has been no popular protest in Arkansas.
Judge Mcclure, who has been at once advo-
cate and Judge in the Brooks interest says
that the Attorney General bases his opinion
on a series of fasehoOds and misstatements.
But Mr.. Mcclure is only one of the more
noisy of the Brooks partisans. Now that the
Baxter men are in possession of the Legisla-
ture, they will be sure to make things uncom-
Portable for their late adversaries in the field.
They have no amnesty IN Arkansas, and the
very first thing to engage the attention OF the
Baxter Legislature is sure to be general

reach of that body.

stroke of work, but drew the pay, and that
he divided the profits with gentleman who
