1t is curious to find the most noted champion OF

for free coinage of both metals. But he seems to
fear that the conflict Of opinion may defeat tins re-

The acquittal of the Russian young woman,
Vera Sassuitch, who shot the Project of ST.
Petersburg in order to direct public attention
to the abuses Of the political police, is likely
to have serious consequences. The Govern

public prosecutor has appealed from the YER

the interference of the pOpulace from arrest

is now in hot pursuit of her; and it is repor cd
at ST. Petersburg that the experiment Of trial
by jury IN political cases will hereafter be
abandoned. Russia is not a power which
