A Bold CHALLENGE.-Gen. NJ. c.
Butler, who was present at the Ham
burg riot and who was charged in let
let OF Gov. Chamberlain with criminal
completely in it, has published chal-
ienge to His Excellency which cannot
be ignored by that otfic Il without ex-
citing grave suspicious that he, Cham
berlain himself, was the primum mobile
OF that unhappy affair. Whether he
was or not, the paper organs of his own
party, notably the New York Herald
. and the Tribune, demand of him to an
swcr Buffers challenge or hold his
tongue. We predict he will neither do
the one nor the other. The chief pab-
1Ium Of radicalism in this, as in past
presidential contests, the meat on which
It feeds. is race riots and hghtings like
those at Hamburg. They fire the North
ern heart, supply capital to radicalism
and hurt nobody that men like Cham
berlain feel any interest in or sympathy
for. Consequently the Governor will
NOT hold his tongue, but is likely, on the
contrary. to keep it wagging with an eve
10 the provocation of another riot. Nor
will he answer Buffers challenge. A
legal investigation might prove, and we
predict if it ever takes place it will
prove. that The blacks were instigated TO
assail the whites to serve some secret
political purpose Of Chamberlain or his
party. AT least Butler says he will
either prove this, il Chamberlain will
arrest and have him tried, or he will

No. Q, lth election district, under the
tstelage u Hessy wiagste, ESQ. The
examinatioa wss conducted BY Messrs.
Bruce Barber, John II. Chunn, Oscar
G. Hayden, d. C. Hammett and Ben.
+. Howard, in the presence Of . large
and appreeiative audience notwithstand-
ing the iDclemeney Of the weather, and
embraced all the branches taught in the
Primary Schools n prescribed BY law.
This examination was not Of that snowy
and superficial eharacter-too common
on such occasions-but ut the special
request Of the teacher, the questions in
each branch were thorough and search
ing, and were answered with SO much
ease and accuracy Is to demonstrate to
all present that during the past year the
Teacher and pupils have been scrupu-
lousiy exact in the discharge Of their
scholastic duties. Mr.. Wingate is tru-
ly the right man in the right place, full
" alive to the importance Of his high
mission, and in addition to all the ne
cessary qualifications, possesses in an
eminent degree that rare but happy fac
ulty, 50 indispensable to teachers, of
imparting unto others that which he so
well knows himself.
At the conclusion OF the examination,
which lasted about four hours, Col. ].
Parran Crane addressed the pupils in
his usual chaste and appropriate man
ner, urging upon them the importance
Of education, counselling them to still
higher attainments, and expressing high
qualification at the result Of the days
performance.
This feast of reason and flow of
SOUL being over, We we're next invited
to partake Of dinner served up in the
old-fashioned style-consisting Of good
hearty welcome-plenty Of everything
nice TO eat-and very little CEREMONY
and this, according to your correspon-
dents taste, was most admirable part
of the programme. When the appe-
tites Of those present were fully salts
fed the exercises were rounded of with
. dance, after which all returned to
their homes, highly delighted with the
enjoyments of the day and expressing
the fond hope that they may all meet
again the ensuing year under the same
happy auspices.

THE LATE REvELArroNs.-The rev.
Citations of Mr.. Bluford Wilson, late So
licitor of the Treasury, discloses a state
of things at Washington which all hon.
est and patriotic citizens viii read with
shame and hanging Of the head. They
besmirch the garment of no less person
than President Grant himself and make
it imperative that he shall come to the
front with satisfactory explanation or
sink to the low level of the dishonest
subordinates whom Wilson shows he
aided and abetted to conceal frauds upon
the public revenue the most glaring and
gigantic that have yet been brought
under public notice. We do not care
to give any democratic versions of these
discreditable disclosures-that which
We publish below is from the New York
Tribune:
These disclosures show" the Tri-
hume goes on to say, IAN intimacy Of re-
lation between the President and the
wh,skey conspirators which only falls
short OF actual completely. We do not
care to dwell upon it. The removal of
honest and efficient officers who have
been active in fcrreting out frauds upon
the treasury and bringing rogues to
justice, and the regular executive GER
LITIGATION to the good character of men
who have been driven out of Office un-
der grave suspicion, or by the popular
sense of decency, have come to be
something more than coincidences.-
They illustrate the character, the ten
dency. the spirit and purpose Of the
national administration. There is no
need of longer attempting to hoodwink
the public or gloss over the conduct of
the President. Nor, we submit, will it
do for Mr.. Frye, Of Maine, to talk nom
sense to Congress and the country, as
he did on Saturday, about bringing
down the great name Of this great Re.
public in the eyes Of the whole world"
by investigations which bring out facts.
The facts and not the investigations
bring disgrace upon the country. The
people have seen the President sending
certificates Of character to rogues whom
the people drove out Of Office, and him.
self driving out every officer who had
shown zeal and energy in pursuing
rogues and bringing them to Justice
That is what is disgraceful about it, and
the sooner Mr.. Frye finds it out and
stops talking nonsense about it the bet
ter it will be for his party

How the Commune Works I'm Russia.

If one travels through the governments OF
Russia proper, from the Nolga district to the
extreme south, one is driven to the conclu-
sion that the condition OF the Russian peas
antry has In several respects, both moral
and material, become unquestionably worse.
great NUM- Der or them have been reduced To
absolute poverty; drunkenness has become
far more prevalent; the results OF listless in
difference, unwillingness to work, an in
creaslng discomfort, brutal acts Of deStruc-
tion and incendiarism. In the southwestern
governments, and especially in those of
Pensa, Kursk, and Noronej, day rarely
passes but the sky is Redeemed by the flames
OF a burnt village. The reason is not in any
peculiarities OF the Russian PEASANTS char
&C Ter. but chiefly in the unfavorable position
in which he has been placed by the new sys-
TEN OF administration, which makes him de-
pendent on the commune and on a number OF
officials whom he is obliged TO pay out OF his
own pocket. The rural commune has I'M
limited power over both the person and
property of the peasant, so that he has in
reality only changed his master. He is
bound TO pay fixed sum TO his former mas
house in Which he lives Snd the iana oS
which il stands. This, 10 certain extent,
retricts his freedom of action, but il is rem
dered quite illusory by the circumstance
that the land which he cultivates for himself
and his family, and for which he must pay,
is not his Owl, but the property OF the com
mune. which may dispose of IL AT pleasure.
Thus Ivan, after deYoting all his care 10 the
cultivation of piece of land, may ind il

peasant, while ne gets in exchange field
perhaps not so well situated, or negligently
cultivated. Nor is this all. The commune
is responsible for the payments due from the
peasants; and If and OF these fall into arrear
those who are better of have TO make up the
deficiency falling which the commune seiZes
their horses and cows. Another restriction
on the personal liberty OF the peasant in
Russia is the right OF the commune 10 refuse
him pass when he wishes to seek service
away from his village. The grant OF these
passes often depends on the arbitrary will OF
a clerk, who refuses il from motives of per-
sonal hostility oil requires a bride before he

peasants who have obtained passes for st.
Petersburg or Moscow are called back for
some trifiing reason, and if they refuse 20 re-
turn they are taken back by the police like
common criminals, without even being
given the opportunity OF winding up their
business in the town. Such are the ciTcum-
stances-without the slightest security for
the produce OF ones labor, and in constant
fear of what the next day may bring forth
in which not hundreds or thousands, Dut
millions OF people live in Russia.-[ CJyoyae

Two PARTISAN DRAMAs.-The Paris cor
respondent OF the London Echo writes To
that journal: The papers report two little
social dramas OF the type rendered so nobo-
riOuSly attractive by the writings of the Al
eNandre Dumas class OF mOralists. A clerk
IN the employ OF firm on the boulevard
Bonnie Nouvelle recently got married TO a
young actress al one of the minor theaters.
The couple lived happily for a short time. but
the husband eventually grew jealous OF his
wife's admirers on the stage. The other day
the actress contracted 10 play for a short
time at Abbevllle. The husband objected to
her leaving Paris, but she persisted, and
started on her journey. The mans suspi-
cions being aroused, he followed her, and on
arriving at Abbeville discovered his wife In
the society OF an officer. He at once stabbed
her to death with a dagger and then gave
himself into custody. The second drama Is
reported from a town In the Sarthe, but in
this case IL was not the guilty woman. but
her paramoUr, who paid the penalty OF the
crime. A farmer, named Desnos, on return
ing home suddenly from mass, found his wi fe
in criminal conversation with a neigh Dor
named Froger. A fearful struggle followed
between the two men. DeSnos at length got
FToger down Oh the ground, and smashed In
his skull with a heavy piece OF wood which
he had snatched from the fire. Tue woman
ran away and has not since been heard OF.
The farmer al once informed the police OF
what be had done.
