The life Of an editor or author in Rus
sia has no certainty of being one of I'M
allowed felicity. His troubles proceed
not so much from being read too little
as from being read too much, and in the
latter ease if his productions happen to
fall under the censure of the ruling
bowers, he will need to be copper
bottomed on the back with steel
plate armor, or to possess the digestive
organs of an ostrich or an anaconda. In
January last an unfortunate author pub
lished work in Moscow, which treated
somewhat of political affairs. He criti-
cized the acts of the public authorities.
He even made light Of the divinity that
doth hedge in royalty. and scofed at the
Gar and the Imperial family generally.
His work was condemnend as contuma-
cious, and the author was sentenced to
receive one hundred lashCs of the knout
or to swallow his own book. Now, as an
hundred lashcs Of the knout means GER
tain death when heartily applied, and
are witha supposed to be very unpleas-
ant, this author very sensibly concluded
to accept the latter alternative and liter
ally eat his own defamatory words.
On the 18th of February last he was
led into one, OF the public squares OF
Moscow by the public executioner, ac'
companied by surgeon and physician
Of the Cars, and escorted by file o.

TO.DAY'S GERMAN PAPERS.

Against the Press-A bill has been intro
duced in the Legislature of Ohio, according
to which it sIalt be considered libel if any
one makes picture or writes or prints an
article to place another in Il ludicrous or
despicable light before the public or SLAM
ders the memory of a deceased person. The
penalty is to be a fine OF 5000 and impris-
onnent for one year. The bill probably
comes from some one who has thin skin
or bad conscience.
THE Volksblnttl
The Legislature can not as it seems, come
to the conclusion to do justice to the Ger
man citizens in regard to the publication Of
legal advertisements.
1t is not probable that the Legislature
will make further changes in the Southern
Railroad law. The proposed increase OF
the number of Trustees to fifteen has met
with little favor The five were even too
many.
