SOUTH SLAVONIC UNITY.

The occupation of Bosnia has caused among the
South Savonians discussions which. says the Pesth
correspondent of the London Standard are now
taking the dimensions OF q vehement feud between
those Servans who Greek Catholics and tho
the servians demanding and the Croatians OPP
posing tho incorporation OF Bosnia and Herzego-
vina with scrvia and Montenegro. 1t was IN
consequence of these dissensions that In the dis
trict of Zara. in Dalmatia NJ. Ivanich Servian has
bcen elected member of the Vienna Reichsrath in
the place of the former Croatian Deputy, DIR. Kaich
The well known Bishop. DIR. Strossmayer. therefore
entered into negotiations with the Greek Catholic
Professor Zore. from Dalmatia for the purpose of
forming great South Slavonian party, but with no
better result than that of increasing the animosty
existing between both parties, who vie with each
other in insulting the conciatory fraction. The
ZdStdpd in Neusatz. in Hungary. daily insult the
Croatians; while the Obsor in Agram and the Ndroda
List, in Zara, accuse the Serbs of all manner of
crimes. The Siobodd, Croatian paper. published in
Sesak, at the very gates of Fume, goes far to
deny that the Servians are OF Slavonan origin, and
asserts that they are Tsntsares (AIacedo- " ALA
chians) and Skipetares tAlbanians). Besides these
three parties-Scrvians, Croatians and South Sla-
vonians-a weak Hungarian party IL beginning to-
stir in Croatia and somewhat greater Austrian
party in the military boundary. This strange spec-
men OF south slavonian unity, to which must
be added the jealousy existing between Montene-
grins, Serbs and Bulgarians. proves not only tho
absurdity of the Panslavic theories, but also the
fact that the occupation of Bosnia has for series

Savonians and split them into numerous factions

RUSSIAN STUDENTS IN REVOLT.

The continual feud between the government and
the whole student class in Russia and tho severity
which the officials have displayed in dealing with
the difficulties at the universities are, says the st.
Petersburg correspondent Of the Daily Telegraph,
now producing their natural results. The students
being the weaker party succumbing. but their
submission is under protest and takes tho
only possible legal form of retiring from
the establishments the system OF management
of which meets with their strong disapproval.
They claim certain freedom in education. the right
OF making complaints and petitioning the authori-
ties and in certain instances they have clamored for
the dismissal of tessors whom they declare to be
thoroughly incompetent. and who. belonging to the
old conservative school, have received and main
tanned their appointments through favortism and
protection. These demands on the part of the stu
DENTS and their occasional active demonstrations
against the authorities, have been met by
wholesale explosions from the universities.
imprisonment and exile, and. finally, by
the proclamation of new academical regua-
tions. whereby any faint appearances Of liberty
which previously existed have been completely
swept away Besides the discomfort produced by
these measures among the present students. they
have not been without their effect in preven ting
appearance of fresh candidates for entrance into
the universities. Youths of independent spirit. who

the course of instruction is so limited and
hampered, where personal liberty is inter
fered with. and where the smallest display of
student the displeasure of the authorities even il
1t does not lead to much more serious results. On
the other hand the continued disturbances ut the
universities and the sad fate which has befallen
many Of the students have excited the fears of all
anxious parents. and to permit the entrance of
into university Is now considered q dangerous
experiment. Thus the whole system of university
education in Russia has received check from which
1t will not readily recover. and striking example

the number always exceeded two hundred.

those present were l.. VI. Wilson and y. Crown. Com
missioners of Mobile. At previous meeting a
committee had been appointed to consider the offer
of these commissioners who proposed that the In
terest the debt should be seated from six per cent
to three per cent. The committee reported in favor
of rejecting the offer, and their report adopted
The committee then presented paper. which was
read to the meeting, reviewing the whole proceed
ings and showing how the debt had been
formerly scaled. and how it was proposed
to do again. The committee strongly censured
the State of Alabama for passing certain laws en-
abng the city of Mobile to give up it's charter and
become port. thereby aiding and abetting them in
this practical reputation of their Indebtedness.
Considerable discussion occurred to the city y
ability to pay three per cent interest, and some of
the bondholders claimed that there was no cer-
tainty that the interest would not further scaled
to two and even one per cent. The meeting ad-
journed until October, 1850.

TEACHERS FARES.

TO THE EDITOR HERALD:-
have watched the columns of your paper for
long time if some one would not write some
thing about teachers fares the elevated railroads
1t is hardly just that the teachers OF the Normal
College. whose salaries higher than those of the
teachers OF the public schools, buy tickets,
twenty for 81, while the poor teachers OF the
schools. when they ride. have to pay ten cents.
Why is this distinction made, why should the
College teachers be favored? We think If you will
take the matter in hand something NAY be done by
which al, the teachers may share alike. many OF
them have to ride over the road four times daily.
