RussIa.s Condition.

London, ga dispatch from st.
Petersburg says: 1t may be unintel-
ligible to many persons abroad how
the nihili;ti succeeded in doing their
work in the very residence OF the
imperial family. Probably no other
building in st. Petersburg is less safe
than the Winter Palace. It has al
ways been a refuge for uumbeIless
vagabond workmep, friends of ser
wants and others, many without
passports, who would not live with
impunity anywhere else. The i'm
perisl uxase of last April gave full
powers to General GCurka to search
the buildings of Hstacs, bat even
that severe governor general could
hardly venture, such is Russian al
ministration, to interfere with the
special authorities of the imperial
residence, baIed on the old Rus
sian law which gives the right
OF sanctuary to criminals taking
refuge within the buildings of the
imperial palaces, SO far as concerns
the ordinary police who have no
jurisdiction IN such cases. No fewer
than 5000 persons have been living
in the Winter Palace and nobody has
ever known the precise duties of one
half of them. The appointment of
General Mehkoff as virtual dictator,
hiss created a good impression,
especially in circles where he himself
aud his previous civil administrations
are best known; his rule, though
mild, has been effectusl in depressing
disorders. His views generally are
known to be liberal. All classes feel
that the measures taken are neces-
sary aud wise and think General
Melikoff is the man most fitted for
the place. No we'll informed person
believesin any wide spread conspiracy
amongst the dignitsries, court
officials, OF the military.

Too Much Chalk.

Mr.. Editor We have had Sabbsth-school
convention in our town, very good one In many
respects, so that ii was considered success,
but there has been suggestion that too great
prominence was given to the blackboard, and too
little to the Bible. There were delegates from all
parts Of the state, ministers, deacons, superin-
tendents, teachers, men Of large experience and
fine abilities, who did not find an opportunity to
open their lips, while greater part OF the time
was taken up in drawing pictures and telling lit
tie stories about the little birds ETC., etc. 1t
seemed good to the powers that be to import a
delegation from the cities, who evidently adopted
the same kind OF instruction that they use In
their mission schoosa very desirable way for that
class of pupils, but not exactly appropriate to the
maturer scholars in our New England churches
A state convention should aim to bring profit and
instruction to the whole band OF teachers, not
merely to those who have charge OF the infant
department. and II the directors would avail
themselves OF the talent the state affords, they
would often find the wants OF the people more
fully met than when they rely upon the super
abundant wisdom OF New Orleans or Chicago. Is
there not a tendency In these days. TO trust too
much TO the blackboard The older pupils Of
course do not need 1t, but Is there not danger OF
the children getting mixed up view Of gospel
truth The sacred word will be so closely associ-
ated with the labors of the blackboard artist,
that it will be difficult To tell which is "inspira-
ton" and which chalk After all, will child
have any more satisfactory understanding Of the
passage MY son, give me thine heart, because
he sees "seyen by nine" representation Of a
distorted heart on the blackboard before him

FOrty-Sixth Congress.

MONDAY January 26-Little was done on Mon
day but to do up the usual Mondays wash but
on Tuesday Senator Bayard of Delaware deliv-
cred a carefully-prepared speech on his famous
resolution, taking away the legal-tender powers
OF the greenback, as a preparatory step toward
its redemption and destruction and bringing about
an actual resumption OF specie payment Unlike
the majority OF the Democratic senators, Senator
Bayard is hard-money man OF the straightest
sect. His resolution is intended to secure re-
sumption Of standard OF value based upon
value, and not upon mere credit. 1t is not in
tended to destroy the convenience and assistance
of the present paper currency, but he desires to
let men feel confidence that stable standard is
ultimately to measure all their contracts This
will encourage capital to embark upon enterprises
which will give employment to the laboring
classes and will insure to labor an honest equiva-
lent. 1t is unfortunate that notes should be called
"money," as it tends to produce confusion and
injustice Paper currency in all its forms is a
useful auxiliary Of money but it is evidence of
debt and not of wealth, and possesses no inner
ent value He made an exhaustive review OF the
decisions OF the supreme court and of the legsla-
ton of congress- showing that the issue Of treas
ury notes was at no time intended as permanent
measure, with or without the legal-tender power.
Coming as 1t did from possible presidential can
didate whose candor and honesty is admired by
| all, this speech was listened to with profound
interest

The Maine Contest Ended.

Our last weeks issue left the remnant OF
the fusion legislature awaiting a third opin-
ion from the supreme court They had not
long TO wait, nor was the opinion Of doubt
full tenor. The judges replied that while
they did not admit the right of that body
to be asking them questions, nevertheless
they consented to answer in the interests OF
their beloved state. Then they go on to
say that the body organized on the first
Wednesday in January was not the legal
legislature, as IL had no quorum without
counting those persons who had been sum
moned by Garcelon contrary to the opinion
Of the court. The opinion closes with the
clear, simple and positive declaration that
awe, after due deliberation and considera-
ton of all matters involved, affirm and de-
clare our judgment to be that the senate
whose presiding officer is the Hon. Joseph
A. Locke, and the house of representatives
whose presiding officer is the Hon. George
Z. Weeks constitute the legal and constitu-
tional legislature of the state" The answers
were signed by all the judges, as the previ-
vious ones had been. OF course the fusion
debating society could not stand such a
broadside as this, received on their own in
vitation. "Governor Smith submitted
gracefully, packed his kit and went home.
A large majority of his associates of both
houses at once took their seats in the
legally constituted Legislature, while the un-
terrified remnant adjourned till August
This adjournment can only be interpreted
as an attempt to let themselves down easily,
with the appearance of dying game, or the
conspirators were obeying higher counsels
and preparing scheme to manufacture
fraudulent electoral vote and carry the contest
into congress. But there is small occasion
to borrow trouble over the possibility that
the fusion legislature will be weak enough
to attempt to galvanize itself into life for
the purpose of choosing presidential cleo
tors. Such step on the eve of national
election would cost the Democrats every
doubtful state from Maine to Mississippi.
And so this long, exciting, and at times
alarming contest, has ended. Its lessons are
obvious, and ought not to be lost upon the
American people.

STIRRED UP-In view of the recent &C.
ton of the Kelley boilers in New York, the
Louisville (Kentucky), journal, Tilden Or
gan, wakes wroth and says They are bolt
ers and rebels. They are without political
honor or fidelity. Never again shall the
face of one of them darken the interior of a
Democratic national convention. They are
the secret tools of the enemy. They are
owned, body aud soul, by the Republicans
No decent Democrat can recognize them
They are the scott, scorn and by-word of the
great party they have betrayed. Let them
take themselves off to those who own them
and, since they have not the courage to hang
themselves, let them make merit-that OF
courage-out of the only safe course which
is left them and declare boldly for Grant"

Governor Davis Justified.

When the fusionist pretenders were ex-
cluded from the Maine state house, and
especially when the military were called in
to enforce that order, many fair-minded Re
publicans, both within and without the
state, feared that mistake had been made.
They questioned whether the real danger was
not magnifed, and queried II 1t might not
be better to tolerate the farce and let II run
its natural course, rather than exasperate
the already embittered feeling. But these
people now see that they, and not Governor
Davis, were mistaken. In the light Of sub
sequent events the refusal to admit the
bogus Legislature to the capitol. and the
active preparations for its protection and
defence, prove to have been wise and justi-
fable precautions. The Boston Globe, which
has ridculed the governors apprehensicns
and has denounced the Republicans for stir.
ring up strife, says that clubs or companies
were organized in various parts of the state
with the professed purpose of marching
upon Augusta, but they had really no such
intention, their actual purpose being only 10
alarm the Republicans and cause the gov
ernor to order out the militia. II the Globes
statements on the subject are literally true,
the responsibility for the display of military
force rests upon the fusionists but it is
more probable that the professions of the
seditious organizations. whose existence is
acknowledged, were sincere, and that If no
precautions had been taken the attack upon
the state house would have been made.
Smith, the pretender to the Office Of governor,
also says that violence pds contemplated by
men of his party, who urged him to author
ize it, promising to bring thousand armed
men to Augusta il he would countenance
such action. Even at the last moment,
when the opinion Of the court adverse to
their pretensions was momentarily expected,
he was urged he says, to consent to plan
which could hardly have failed to give them
possession of the state house, The facts
and information upon which Governor Davis
acted may be more fully disclosed when the
excitement has subsidized, and it will be
proved, we believe, that his measures were
prompted by prudence as well as executed
with energy.

DEMOCRATIC "BLAcK NIGHT."-The New
York Sun, abiding to the late Kelley confer
ence at Albany, dolefully concludes' "On
the whole, the present prospect for the Dem
ocratic party in the state of New York is
not encouraging. II is a good deal like
driving pair of black horses in night 80
dark that you cannot see your hand before
you. If Tilden is nominated, Kelley will de-
feat him. If Kelley exalts another candi-
date over him, while Mr. Tilden may never
protest, even in whisper, yet if such candi-
date shall not, by some mysterious influence
or sleight of hand, suddenly find the ground
underneath him open and swallow him up,
then all we have to say is that Samuel j.
Tilden, for man with so many " bar'ls " OF
money, is a singularly sanity character"

OUR CoNGREssMEN.-Of the present house
of representatives the following statistics
are furnished Besides the two hundred and
nineteen lawyers in the house, there are
twenty-five merchants, five bankers, three
capitalists, two inventors, five manufacture
ers, two teachers, twelve farmers, six physi.
clans, one architect and builder, four editors,
two ministers, one stone cutter, one insur-
ance agent, two millers, and three owners
and operators of transportation lines. The
oldest member of the house is Mr.. Wait of
Connecticut who is sixty-nine years of age,
and the youngest member is Mr.. Frost of
st. Louis, who is twenty-eight years of age.
Fernando Wood has been longer member
of the house than any of his associates, and
next in point Of long service is Judge
Kelley of Pennsylvania. Mr.. Stephens of
Georgia is generally spoken of as being
older than any other member of the present
house, but Mr. Wait has about one year the
advantage of him in that respect.
