Pestilence and Famine in Russia.

The minister of the United
State at st. Petersburg, in recent
dispatch to the department of state,
draws a gloomy picture of the pres.
ent economic and social condition
of Russia. The grain crop of the
past season has proved q failure,
and American grain is imported
now at st. Petersburg. 1t is also
entering at Odessa and other Rus
sian ports, but large market for
this American cereal cannot be pre-
dicted, as very little bread made of
wheat is used in Russia. The mass
OF the people must have cheaper
and coarser article, such a rye or
Indian corn. The scarcity of grain
in the empire is so great that it
was currently believed that the i'm
perial government was considering
the propriety of prohibiting the
expectation OF rye. There will be
much suffering among the poorer
classes. Mr.. Foster. the minister,
in bis dispatch quotes from the
"Golos" Of ST. Petersburg, as fol-
lows: "From all sides comes news
OF the harvest being below the
average, and Of want and hunger
from which will spring disease and
very likely death. Beetles, worms
and locnsts are eating mp the corn.
The diminution Of cattle surpasses
all belief. Diphtberia is taking of
the coming generation. Bread
stufs have already reached Eve
kopecks per pound. Everyone
feels that Russia does not subsist
by the product Of its own land,
bot is wasting its capital in cutting
wood, selling surplus cattle, pulling
straw from its tbatched roofs and
deprivipg itself of it's very clothes
and shoes.

6arfeld's plurality in the same dis

Bay City News, Horr ran behind
his ticket in the Sth district 2,l29

number of Republicans preferred
Tarsney to Horn. The result is
not creditable to Mr.. Horr, as it

the consciousness Of duty well
done. As a matter Of fact the two
administrations present fewer
points of resemblance than Of con-
trast. While President Lincoln
had the satisfaction of seeing the
principles for which he fought tri-
umph and his enemies under his
feet, President Hayes had the NOR
LITIGATION OF seeing those for which
he was most strenuous, practically
defeated aud his enemies exnlting
over his head. His extraordinary
efforts at Cancellation have resulted
in the loss 10 his party Of the
Southern States which elected him
and in arraying the North aud
South against each other in as SOL
id section as ever. The next
achievement upon which his adj
ministration was to rest its fame
was o reform of the civil service,
aud his issuing of order No. 1, for
bidding Office holders from taking
an active part in politics. The re-
form so energetically inaugurated
by the removal Of Arthur from the
New York custom house, soon
spent its force. As a matter Of
fact, in no administration since the
organization of the government,
have the officials, from cabinet |
minister to postmaster taken a
more active part in the campaign,
than have those under Hayes. The |
whole reform has been practically |
repudiated by his successor and re-
buked by the Republican party
which has taken up his cast-off Az
thur and placed him in the Vice
Presidents chair. A more ant
comparison might have been made
with the administration IF Fill
more, the end of which differed 40
greatly from the beginning that its
old whig friends conld hardly rec
ognize it. President Hayes hap
piness cannot spring from the con-
seriousness of victory so much as
from the satisfaction of being let
down easy.

General Miles, Expedition.

] Vtuti ~ bAptuihiohs
1t is not yet settled whether
peace is to reign on the Canada
border. Several weeks ago Gen.
Miles set out from Fort Keogh AZ
the head Of a column. whose APP
parent purpose was to conqner
Sitting Bull or crowd him over the
line. Toward winter, the so called
hostile Indians, who are mostly not
hostile, are in the habit ~ hunting
the buffalo on this side Of the
boundary; this gives the troops an
opportunity to get at and kill them.
An expedition last year succeeded
in killing several Indians. who
were surprised while hunting. This
year General Miles, Colonel Of the
the Fifth Infantry, was evidently
disposed to make a clean sweep Of
OF all rowing Sioux of Sitting
Bulls band, even II he had to win
a brigadier's star in the attempt.
Early in October it became
known that Sitting Bull had ex-
pressed hopes to the Canadian
authorities "that the American
troops would not disturb him while
south of the line, getting food for
his children" 1t was also learned
that the buffaloes had just crossed
the Missouri, west of Fort Peck,
and we're making for Brown Creek,
which is about fifty miles south Of
the boundary, and Sitting Bull was
about TO leave camp at once to
hunt them.
Very quickly the Keogh column
cot in motion. Major Walsh OF
the Canadian police had reported
that Sitting Bull would pass in the
rear of the buffalo and drive them
north, rather than attack them in
front, which would only send them
to their southerly herding grounds
in Montana. Major Walsh added
that, as the prairie was covered
with buffaloes, the Indians wonld
get meat for all winter. To foil
these plans the troops moved for
ward, Major Ilges OF the Fifth In
fantry in advance. Soon this officer
was able to report to Gen. Terry
that he had "marched through
large camp Of hostiles and Yank-
tonais, about $40 lodges, and camp
ed near them. They came with
flag Of truce, demanding to know
my mission. ] declined a talk, and
they kept away from me. They
seemed well disposed
But meanwhile Gen. Terry had
learned from scouts that Sitting
Bull was already contemplating
surrender; that he did not want
the troops TO move against him, as
be was only waiting to learn first
whether Major Walsh was willing
to retain his band 10 Canada IN o
more favorable region. Gen. Ter
ry ct once sent word that the
troops should not start from Keoeh
and Custer until further orders;
but, as has been seen, they were al
ready on the way, and had e.tablish-
cd a cantonment on Poplar Creek.
The situation, then, is now uncer-
tain, but Of good promise. Gen.
Terry has shown himself willing
10 give Sitting Boil an opportunity
of surrender. Even Gen. Miles is
disposed to defer coercive measure
'or n few days. The camps Of

The last OF the three proposed
amendments to the election laws viii
be brought forward at once. II is IA
prohibit the arrest OF State election
officers by federal election officers on
election day, They may DO arrested
alter the close Of the election, and ale
liable, of course, for misconduct. The
object Is to prevent State officers from
being dragged from the polls during
the progress OF the election, as has
been done in several instances, thus
leaving the federal officers. who are
VIGOROUSLY strong parlisans, in abso-
lutte aud unrestricted control Of the
polls aud the ballot boxes. II will be
remembered that the state authorities
have no power to arrest federal cleo
tien officers. 1t ia astonishing that
the republicans oppose all these chang
es, which are, as everybody sees, re-
CURED IN the interests Of n fair elec.
ton. The explanation current here
is that they are determined, il posi-
bic. to make the President veto all the
bills so as to keep the laws rs they
are, with all their vicious and proved
liable to partisan abuse character in
tact, until after the November cleo
tons, 80 as to have the full advantage
of their use and operation for their

There is quite an exodus OF politi'
clans from here TO Chicago, and all

Don Cameron at the head OF the Ma.
tional Committee, Conkling on the
floor of the Convention, and john
Logan around at the side entrance,
think the machine will carry It's point
and nominate its man. There is no
doubt that the Grant crowd verify be.
lieve him to be the strongest man.
They have great faith in his star, and
expect to see all the malcontents GENE
round within a month after the con-
vention. 1t would hardly seem posi-
Bile that all the bitter opposition to the
third term would melt away so easily,
and do not believe it will, yet | am
not one of those democrats who re-
gard Grant as the easiest man to beat.
James G. Blaine is the most vulnera-
BILE candidate and would be easily de-
teated. Grant is likely, under certain
circumstances, to get some votes that
Blaine never could, and worse than
that, should the election be close he
will not be unlikely to get the country
in deep trouble by undertaking to
decide it in his own favor. But there
is every reason to think the election
will not he close. Grant will lose
Ohio and perhaps Massachusetts and
Illinois, PHoNo.
