his own family as one Of his legitimate
offspring. Naturally, this has made
great discord in the imperial house
hold, causing the c~zarina to quit the
country, it is said, on the plea of i'll
health, and the czarovitch to absent
himself from court. Even more
than this, the influence of Alexan-
ander's mistress is declared to be so
hostile to all political reforms in the
empire that he has kept locked up in
his cabinet the liberal constitution
which it was thought he would pro-
mulgate last autumn. The car is,
according to all accounts, absolutely
enthralled by the Princess, whom he
wanted to marry procuring a divorce
from his legal wife; and he would
have taken this rash step had it not
demanded his abdication. As Alex
ander is neal sixty-two it might be
supposed that he would be beyond the
time-if there is any such time
when 'nen make fools of themselves
about women. His folly is, under the
circumstances, really criminal, for it
involves the greatest political conse-
quenees, and affects the happiness
of his millions of subjects.
Surely Russia has troubles
enough other own without any effort
of her sovereign to increase them.
Wars, ~pestilence, failure of crops,
enormous debts, widespread discon-
tent, the whole realm yeined with the
most formidable conspiracy, the en-
tire fabric Of government in jeopardy,
would seem to have been sufficient to
occupy tie attention of the autocratic
and to prevent him from yield
ing, in old age, to a mad passion off
which his youngest son should be
ashamed. We wonder here at the
desperation and immense
force of the Nihilists; but they are en-
couraged and strengthened by the
acts, personal and political, of the
ear, whose extraordinary conduct of
late years can only be explained BY
his weakness aud selfshness. The
universal spirit of insubordi-
nation, of open, aggressive enmity to
lhe government, could hardly have
been what it is to-day had not Alex
continually aided it by a faulty
md obstinacy as iuexplicable as they
ire ruinOus.

COLONEL JOHN II. SAVAGE has
adopted an unusual course in rushing
into print to explain how he came to
lose his ease at Jackson. He seems
to have lost his temper as we'll, and
takes occasion to drop a line through
a paper-although he charges that all
the papers that do not agree with him
are bought up-tO give vent to his
feelings. His card to the Nashville
Banner does not strengthen his cause.
He says, " The so-called trial and YER
dict was a farce, and so regarded by
the citizens present" 1t is not unu-
sual for Colonel Savage to denounce
the courts, especially tho Supreme
court, to which he now appeals this
case. If it should 20 against
him there it will be in order to char
acterize that trial as another farce.
and if the United States Supreme
court renders a decision against the
State of Tennessee in the Torbett
issue case, that will presumably be
the greatest farce of all. His re-
markable card indicates that his liver
is disordered, and that he needs rest.
He over exerted himself last summer
~canvassing the State just after he was
retained in this case. His mistake
vas in opening the trial on the stump,
instead of waiting until the case was
called in court. His remarkable card
closes as follows:
The Torbett issue, in my opinion,
stands on no higher ground morally
or politically than Confederate money
or Tennessee war bonds, and while l
have a voice to speak or a tribunal to
appeal to, the people shall be defended
against it, Nor shall judicial leger,
demain prevent a fair trial upon the
merits bya jury without my earnest
protest.
As the yalient defender of the peo-
pies rights was paid one thousand
dollars of their money in advance for
his services, it does not seem as if he
deserves mort praise than any other
lawyer who has the good luck to fall
heir to a fat fee. We hope he will
have better luck before the trial i
finally decided, get in a better humor
and earn some moro Of that FIVE thou
sand dollars appropriated to emplo.
counsel TO defend the State.

Politeness to ladies is justly consid.
cred one of our national attributes,
but while the native citizen keeps up
to the standard of gallantry, the i'm
ported article is apt to work defect
lively. A passenger in a crowded
street-car, the other day, observed the
entrance of a man followed by an old
woman, and, seeing that she looked
tired and weak, he considerably arose
and offered her his seat. Before she
could take it, however, the man quiet
ly filed the vacancy. Here,

senger, 81 didn't give up my seat to
