TIE R USSIdN HTHILISTy.

The st. Petersburg correspondent Of
the Daily Telegraph says: "Great
efforts arc being made to- quiet tho
public mind by assurances of tho
practical annihilation Of the socialist
conspiracy by the arrest and condcm-
nation of so many ofthe c0nspirators.
These assurances arc simply worth
nothing, and tho officials arc thorough
ly aware Of the fact. Certain groups

tracked to their hiding places and ar
rested. This was, no doubt, an I'M
portant check to the conspiracy; but
in the face, of persistent inccndiaris ~,
acts of outrage, and arrests all over
the country, it is useless to pretend
that the danger is past. In Taganrog
youth named Plctenor, aged twcm-
ty-tour, has just been arrested for de-
claring himself q Russian rcvolutiona-
ry and firing OH the police officers who
attempted his capture. An artillery
officer, who had taken lodgings for the
young man, and who was continually
closctcd with him, under tho pre-
tense of preparing him for al cxami-
nation for the higher military school,
has also been arrested. In Kharkofr,
at the cOnslusi0n Of one Of the innuln-
crablc trials which still continue, tho
prisoner, Il young Socialist student,
begged for mercy. This is tho first
instance of the kind. In every other
case the Socialist prisoners have been
| firm to the end, and mot their fate
with determination. Some reduction
has been made in the sentences of
KharkoH penitents, one young man
who was condemned to bc shot being
rcspitcd to exile to Siberia tor life.
If given the option he would probably
have preferred the execution Of the
original sentence. No detailed infor-
nation is as yet published respecting
,, the origin and extent of the fire at
Niini-Novgorod. This is duo to the
pressure of the censorship, which
imagincs that if the public mind were
allowed to dwell OH this disaster it
might have an Injurious effect on the
prospects of the great Mini Fair. The

held, and where goods arc being
accumulated, is almost entirely built
Of wood, and Il great part of the mcr-
chandisc being ofa highly inTalnma-
bic nature, the risk of tiic is at all

II FAMILY FIGHT.

Disclaiming any purpose to inter-
tcrc unduly in matter which does
not Immediately concern us, we can
but remark that the janglc into which
the Democrats Of our ncighboring
county just across tho line, Chester, S.
c., have gotten themselves, is Of such
character as is calculated to make tho
judicious gricvc, 1t is all about the
appointment by the Governor OF q
treasurer and auditor for tho county;
the people by primary election recon-
mcndcd to tho Governor two persons
for these officers; he appointed two
others. There has been much feeling
over the matter, and at apublic meet
ing OF the people of the county, held ut
the court house last Monday, rcsolu-
tions were adopted disappearing of the
action of the Govcrnorin the premises,
and also condcrnning the Chester dele
CATION in the Legislature for their action
in the matter, though their exact status
with reference to tho question in dis
pute docs not fully appear in the pub
lishcd proceedings.
Before the adoption of these rcsolu-
tions it was announced that they were
open for discussion, and when Mr.. j.
y. iempmll, ono OF the representa-
tivcs in tho Legislature, arose to speak
to them, an attempt was made to howl
him down. The Reporter, while in
sympathy with the object Of the meet
ting, donounces this treatment Of tho
gentleman named, and moro than this
expresses the opinion that tho dclcya-
ton did all in tho matter that they felt
called upon or allowed to do.
The proceedings of this meeting, us
reported by our Chester contcmpora-
rics, are ola character to delight the
Radical heart and to carry sorrow to
that ofthc person who hopes for tho
continuation Of Democratic unity in
South Carolina. Strange, strange
how quickly people surrounded by
the light of day forget how dark was
tho night just past, and stranger still
that men in the face of a common enc
my will quibble among themselves and

THs OLD STORY.
A Mans First aud Second wife-Grief Soon
Allayed in Marriage.

MI. Jones never discovered that he
loved his wife to distraction until the
very day Of her death. When that sad
event occurred he seemed suddenly to
become conscious Of the wonderful fact
that he couldn't possibly exist without
her. He plunged at once into the
deepest purgatory of woe; and though
he groaned, wept, wrung his hands and
tore his hair, he regretted exceedingly
that he was still unable to express his
grief in a manner more adequate to the
occasion. Mr.. Jones literally waded in
agony, and swan in despair; he refused
utterly to be comforted, and touchingly
requested his friend to "bury him in
the same grave with his %Sophronia."
1t was a singular circumstance, well
known to the neighbors, that he had
never appeared sensible of his wife's
virtues during her lifetime; but now,
while she lay dead in the house, the be-
reaved husband enumerated such a cat
alogue of good traits and dazzling quail
tiles as would tire the reader to hear
repeated. 1t was truly astonishing to
hear from his own lips what a marve-
lous woman Mrs. Jones was-so kind,
SO affectionate, so prudent, SO self-sac-
rificing, SO Industrious, and such a
good motherl He wept all the time of

A GOOD BILL

Another very important and progress
siye step towards abolishing polygamy
has been taken. The first step was the
decision Of the supreme court, and now
a bill is in a irprospect ofpassage which
provides for carrying out the anti-po-
lygamy laws of '62. The senate judi
ciary committee has already reported
favorably on Mr.. Christiancy's bill,
which has the above object in view.
The first important provision is that
the fact of polygamous marriages need
not be proved by eye witnesses Of the
ceremony. But by shabitual recogni-
tion by the defendant of his or her wife
or husband, and a mutual recognition
of child or children as their own shall
be deemed sufficient and competent evil
dence upon which the jury may find the
fact Of marriage" Owing to the pecu-
liar methods employed by the Mormons
in tying the nuptial knot, it is next to
impossible to procure a witness who
will swear to having seen and heard a
marriage ceremony in the endowment
house. Hence the wisdom of the bill
In relying upon common reputation, or
recognition by the parties themselves,
for conclusive proof. This feature
drives the polygamists from their last
washout and scatters them on the broad
and open plain Of justice. Secondly, the
president is empowered to grant amnes-
tyto those whocommitted polygamy be-
fore December 9th, 1873. To this none
can take serious objection, although it
is not always the best or safest policy
to absolve crime by wholesale. These
polygamists have been violating the
laws Of the United States for seventeen
years, and to al extent it seems like
mockery to forgive them. But really
the wiser plan is to grant them amnes-
ty. Not to do so would create many
outcasts and besides demoralizing Utah
society still more, it would wreak untold
injuries upon innocent children. Then
poor houses would have to be maintain
ed for the support of the helpless. In
fact there seems to be no end to the
possible evils under a policy of ven-
geance. So this great nation can well
afford to be magnanimous, as it is in
everything of vital Importance. How
ever, this feature of the bill is likely to
be amended to extend the time for am
