RUSSIAN REPUELIC.

There comes from across the sea s vague
ri cor 10 the effect that the Gar Of Russia
intends at no distant day to abiicste and
convert the most arIEtocratic realm on
earth into a constitutional Republic. The
rumor need not be set aide as pre2ostsr-
Qua on liz face. The man who could bring
about such radical administrative reforms
in every department Ct government, who
could free the serfs in spite of the combined
and vigorous opposition of the Russian
nobility and Greek church, is not OF the
pattern to shrink from even such a great
act as the Remuneration of arbitrary power.
Tne sons of Alexander, the nobility and the
priests may have something 10 say against
the establishment Of a Democracy; bu;
there is only one head TO the Russian En-.
Pire, and he is absolute in church as well
as in State. The hereditary habit of i'm
plicit obedience to orders and the paltry
prevalent faith in class distinctions IN
doubiedly unfit the Russians OF to-day for
seif-government; and recognizing this the
Gar may not think that Gods good time
for universal freedom has come.

CIR ENfORgS.

The statistics OF exports from the United
Sta'es are full OF encouragement, and show
the growth Of the market abroad for pro-
ducts OF this country a. marvellous. A
Washington dispatch says: There was a
time, and within the memory OF many men
now living, that the export business Of The
United States was confined chiefly to the
products OF the southern Sta;es-cotton,
rice, sugar and tobacco. Now, although
the amount Of these commodities has largely
increased, they constitute only a small por-
ton OF the great total which is annually
shipped from the ports of this country.
The most rapid growth has been in the
agricultural products. In 1865 we exported
agricultural implements to the value OF
S695 3Sl. In 1873 the amount increased 20

ly the greater part OF our cotton manufsci-
ures were made abroad and imported to
this country. The ides Of exporting cot
ton, except in its raw s.a'e was riiiCuled.
In lS6S We sent abroad 81 Sal, 05i of man

TOM. SCOTT.

Col. Tom. Scott is at last sccesafol, ard
we learn from the New York Tribune, has
made financial arrangements in Europe
which insure the completion of the Texas
and Pacific Railroad. Whether Colonel
Scott intends to 60 beyond the Rio Grsnde
is not stated, but he will have to do some
pretty rapid construction work If he reaches
that point before the rosd which Mr.
Huntington ia pushing eastward across
Arizona and New Mexico. Probably, says
the Trijuae, the junction of the two roads
will be at the river. The Texas and
Pacific has been fairly successful as LEGAL
road, and has settled large bel. of country
with a prosperous farming population. Its
further progress westward will open new
regions to emigrants, well adapted for
wheat culture and stock raising.
