A fortuitous combination OF circumstances
enables me to give you the following details
concerning The Cars journey TO the south;
Most extraordinary precautions, which the
Russian authorities have considered necessary
for insuring the safety of the Emperor's per
son, are sufficient proof OF the desperate IN
ternal condition of the nomlnally civilized
country which is still ruled by dcspot.
As you are aware, every imaginable date
was fixed for the Cars departure, and as con
stantly changed. Imperial trains were held
in readiness, and every preparation made on
each of the three routes by which it is posi-
bic TO reach the Crimea from the north. The
choice lies between the railways which pass
through Brest in the west, through wilma ana
Mlnsk In the center, or through kursk and
Charkotf in the east The latter was finally
selected for what, IN strict truth, should DC
called the Imperial flight.
Although the Emperor only left IT. refers
burg on Sunday evening, yet from the early
dawn of Saturday the whole extent OF 400
miles, which the railway traverses from st,
Petersburg to Moscow, was already lined with
an army of soldiers, peasants, policemen ana
gendarmes. Posted at regular intervals OF
100 wards and watching bontircs which they
were instructed to keep alight from dusk TIL
dawn, some 5000 peasants passed many long
and weary hours guarding the iron road be
tween the two capitals.
Strange must have been the reflections OF
the majority of these uneducuted Monjlks as,
with staff in hand and official placard of iden-
tity on the breast, they watched the flight OF
the tlmid successor of the terrible Car Nicho-
las. The expense and trouble of the arrange
ments which were made can only be Justified
by the unhappy condition in which the per
secuted Emperor is placed.
independently of the thousands of peasants
who were dragged from their villages in the
very middle of their most important labors In
securing the harvest, the number OF soldiers
stationed as sentricS cannot have been less
than ten per mile, and to these were added the
entire force of police and gendarmes from
every town on the route. 1t can be no exager-
alton to say that 10000 men were considered
necessary, and were posted along the railway
between St. Petersburg and Smphero, to
watch over the Cars safety.
If | am correctly informed, the journey OF
the heir to the Russian throne to the Crimea
is connected with highly important plan,
The Emperor seriously thinks of charging
him with the task of governing the Empire.
Emperor Alexander would retain all the impe-
rial privileges, but reside permanently in Ii
vida HIS new wife would obtain imperial
rank, and her children be recognized as prin-
cesscs of the blood and rank as the sixth class
in the imperial family The hereditary Grand
Duke has hitherto withheld his assent to this
plan, but it is not unnatural to dcduce from
his present unexpected journey to Lividia, nc
as he Is by the Grand Duchess and
General Louis Melikoii, that he Is on the point
of giving his assent.

CRIMINAL COURT.
The Mendoza Bulletin looks at the matter in
this wise: From what we learn we have come
to the conclusion that the organization OF Il
criminal court in this county has become actual
ly necessary. We are not posted as TO whether,
under our present laws such court can be es
tablished, but one thing is certain, such court
is needed and if our present laws will not allow
the establishing Of it, some further legislation
should be had in relation to the matter. As it
now is, with the large amount Of criminal bust.
ness in La Sale county, and that class OF cases
constantly increasing, IL requires Il large pro-
portion Of the time of the court to try criminal
cases. Under the present arrangement If a party
starts q civil suit IN the Circuit Court they will
be lucky if it is brought to trial within two years
from the time of commencing the same. This
may be very nice for the legal fraternity, in Sc
curing fee for continuing the suit, but it is
anything but pleasant for the parties directly IN.
terested TO be dancing attendance on the court
for ak or eight terms. A continued session Of
the Circuit Court Of this county for the next five
years would probably not clear the docket civil
and criminal. We should have two courts, one
for chanccry and criminal business and one for
civil"
The Bulletin will probably find In the plans for
the Court House court rooms for u criminal
court aud also probable court in addition to the
courts now in operation.

NEW PARTY ISSUES.

II was one of the msfOrtunes Of the democ
racy in the late campaign that they had no
prominent, aggressive issues to rely upon and
urge against their opponents. They beat the
republicans on their bloody shirt aud solid
south issues, scared them fearfully on the Chi.
ncsc question, and frightened them off their
ground IN favor of Capitalization and spelling
nation with a big y. But when IN return the
republican leaders adroi,ly sprung the tariff
issue on the democrats they equally took
fright and fled from the solid ground on which
alone the party could stand and make an eilec.
tive fight on that question. To avoid similar
mistakes in the next campaign the democracy
everywhere are moving to have II more defn-
lite and aggressive programme Of issues and to
that end the democratic press of northern In
diana, at recent meeting at Fort Wayne
unanimously agreed to present the following
points for the consideration Of the American
people:
First--A change in the constitution of the
United States providing for The election of the
President and Wee President by q popular
vote.
!Sec0nd-The election Of United States Sen.
a,ors by the people of the several States instead
of by the Legislature thereof.
7hird-A judcous revision Of the present
tariff IN the interests of the producing and in
dustrial classes.
FourM-Nigorous opposition to the intro.
duction of cheap Mongoian labor.
Fifh-Appropriate legislation by Congress
for the taxation OF greenbacks.
SirM-Opposition to the controlling Of cleo
tons by the dependents Of the national admin.
istration, high and low, and against coercive
measures on the part of corporations IN inter
fering with the elective franchise of their EN-
ployes.
!SeceaM-Securing the holdings of elections
IN all the States on the first Tuesday after the
first Monday in November.
EighM-Protesting against any tlnkering
with the finances of the country and expressing
unqualified condemnation ofthe presumptuous
proposition Of Secretary Sherman.
Ni.h.-A demand upon the present Con.
gress to institute thorough and searching in
vestgation of the charges that the apparent
majority tor Garfield and Arthur IN the State
of New York was obtained by fraudulent and
illegal means, to the end that justice may be
done to all parties.

LoJJy Sirty Working Days BJore Con-
gress TIE 7ypical Government Clerk.
CFrom our regular Correspondent
WAsuIGToN, d. c., Nov. q, 1880.
In preparation for tho coming Congress the
various heads of Department and chiefs OF
Bureau have prepared their several reports
and made estimates of appropriations for the
coming year. These reports and estimates
strengthen the general belief that the reign OF
democratic economy is about over. If the re-
publican congress is true to the anteCedents of
the party, an era of legislative extravaganza
will begin, with their accession to power in
the House. The lobby, which has been almost
starved to death by the five years of democrat
ic control, is unable, even automatically, to
conceal its expression of delight at the return
of It's old allies to power, and it has been re-
marked that this third house in our legislative
system has not appeared so early and 50 bel
hgerent on the scene of lts former cOnquests
since the hacyon days of Grant. There will
be, counting out the Christmas holidays, not
more than sixty working days at best for this
last of Democratic Congresses, and 1t is not
likely that any general or miscellaneous legis-
lation will be attempted. The cXtravagant de-
mands OF the various heads of Department Tor
increased appropriations will be closely scru-
uniZcd, and the estimates cut down as they
well may be. Much of the increase demanded
