rived at Odessa, he could not find his
trunk, which was somehow missing
from the baggage wagon. After some
delay, however, it was found. 1t had
been opened, and although none of
its marketable contents had been alb.
stracted, the papers relating to the
pending trial had all disappeared. In
their place the procureur found a let

blaming him for having neglected
their well meant caution, and infor-
ming him that as his conduct had
not been in any other respect repre-
hensible, the executive committee
contented itself with depriving him
of the papers connected with the trial
in which he was engaged. The new
chief of the gendarme, Gen. Dren-

st. Petersburg, but his head cannot

THE RUSSIAN "PATRIoTIC
FLEET. 1.-THE Russian cruiser com
mittee evidently regard war with
Great Britain as by no means an
improbably event. So believing,
they are preparing to give the Gar
all the help they can. Besides the
steamships bought in the United
States they have bought others else
where out of the fund raised by sub
scriptions voluntarily made by Rus
sian citizens. So great has been the
success of the committee in this
respect that they have enlarged their
sphere of action. They propose to
organize a "patriOtic fleet" to bee
ployed as far as possible in European
waters and in the North Pacific. A
classification of vessels has been ar
ranged, varying from 800 to 5000
tons, and numbering about seventy
in all. Good speed and large coal
carrying capacity are held as indis-
pensable for the admission Of any
trading steamer into this fleet. The
most approved fittings for armed
cruisers will be appropriated to these
ships, and such as will admit of be
ing rapidly put on board. The Rus
sian citizens who have undertaken
to organize and equip this fleet have
evidently prolited by their knowl-
edge of the depredationS of the Ala
bama and her consorts on the high
seas during our civil war. They as
sumo, and justly, that the heaviest
blow to England, one that she would
feel most severely, would be blow
struck at her commerce, and seventy
fast steamships, manned and equip
ped as cruisers, would work havoc
among her shipping. 1t is Il menace
to England of which she can take no
official notice. 1t is private enter
prise. 1t is trading fleet in peace
ready to be converted into armed
cruisers in war. What can she do
about it?

The solid Southern section of the
Democratic party can be credited
with the possession of several we'll
defined principles. OF these the best
established seem to be that this is a
white mans Government, and its
tWocorollaries: that every black man
who denies it deserves to have the
hereSy shot out of him, and that a
white mans government exists
mainly to pay the claims ofSouthern
white men. On what is comprehen-
slvely known as the money question,
the Solid South stands firm against
solid money and in favor Of more ir-
redeemable promises to pay, and in
general the Solid South advocates
any small swindle which can be per.
petrated upon the National creditors
in peculiarly offensive way, so as
to sol the National credit as much
as possible. But what distinctive
principles are left to the Northern
Democracy since the last quaver of
the fraud yell died away in thin
diminuendO Considerable portions
OF the party have been defiantly
facing each other on opposite sides of
every question growing out of the
condition Of the finances and the
currency, and all the rest have been
trying to get on both sides of the
same questions. Upon no single point
save one are all the ios,ling fractions
here in full and sympathetic accord.
and that is in their subserViency to
f. the Solid South. 1t follows that
about all there is of the Democratic
party as an organized and aggressive
force is in the South. Some parties
would have learned something in the
twenty years of history which this
country has been making since IS.
But the Democracy, especially the
ruling end of it, is about as grasping,
as treacherOus and as insolent as it
was before the war.
