THE SPECTACLE IN RUSSIA.

Mr. Carlyle, many years since, described
the condition Of this country as that of
'anarchy plus the constable" What he
then said uniustly and falsely of America.

Russia, which covers SO large portion
Of two continents, and which in the past
has been so formidable in war and diplo-
macy. Anarch is certainly the condition
OF that empire, as officially announced,
and confessed by The proclamation of mar
tial law throU ghout its wide domain. The
Emperor has practically abdicated, and
civil authority has fallen before the Mill
lists, who now proclaim ''the empire as
nothing and boast their success in its
downfall. So far personally. the En-

Europe, and ali the more momentous and

SUGGESTIONS TO RITUALISTS.

In view of the recent agitation in this

alleged ritualiStic tendencies and practices
Of the late Rector of Trinity Protestant

PORT DEPOSIT, March 5rd, 1850.
At meeting of the citizens of the
town of Port Deposit. held i'll the Tenn
perance Hall. on Saturday evening. Feb
ruary 2Sth, the followin" preambles and
resolution were proposed, discussed, and
unanimously adopted:
WHEREAS. The vote al the late election
held i'll our county shows that large
majority of our citizens are in favor of a
law prohibiting. the issuing of licenses
for the sale of Intoxicating liquors.
WHEREAS We believe our representa-.
tivcs in the Legislature now i'll session are
using their influence and will vote for an
act submitting the question to the voters
of the county.
WHEREAS. We believe question of
such vital importance to our people and
so heartily endorsed by them, ought
to be settled at a very early date; there
fore.
Rcsolccd. That we believe we express
the sentiment of the temperance people
of our county in asking our representa-
tives in the legislature to have the time
for the election on the question fixed
upon some day prior to the Goth of April
next, thereby avoiding the excitement of
a political campaign.

A MARVELLOUS CONSPIRACY.

The confession at Trenton last Friday
of Mrs. Jane II. Lewis. acknowledging
that She, the widow of John Lewis. of
Albany, had entered into a conspiracy
with Dir. Park to obtain the 81, 500, 600
estate of the iIoboken millionaire. Joseph
L. Lewis, who died three years ago next
month, leaving his property to the United
States government, is certainly one of the
most marvellous relations Of the day. The
audacity of this woman in acting upon
the suggestion of DR.. Park that she should
proclaim herself the widow of the Hobo
ken bachelor, is unsurpassed, if not al
most unparalleled in the world of fact.
and has few rivals in the world of fiction,
The ecccntricity of Mr.. Lewis in ordering
his estate to be devoted to the payment
of the National debt attracted general at
tention, but the subsequent presentation
of the claim of Mrs. Lewis that she be-
came the wife of the testator twenty
years before his death and therefore was
entitled to his fortune, produced great
sensation. In the coUrsc of the lengthy
trial evidence has been drawn out which
seems to explain why the lIobollen mil
lionairc lived such 4 solitary life. and left
none of his wealth to relations. lie was
proved to have been the son of Il Hebrew
trader and Il negrcss, and, inleriting his
fathers shrcw,lnesS. he amasscd vast
wealth. but his intelligence made him
keenly sensible of the disgrace of his
birth. and he never mentioned the name
OF his ancestors. and died without at
tachments sufficient to secure a beuuest
for any person.
That the plot which one conspirator
has now exploded in open court was con-
ceived with almost satanic cunning, is
proved by the fact that it was nearly sue
cessful, in spite of the sitting of the
courts. Lawyers had searched the re-
cords for a flaw in the claim of Mrs. Lewis
in vain, and it was not until Judge
Edwards PieIrepont returned from his

TRINE,

That is 4 nice little scheme of NJ. de

evade the Monroe doctrine and to secure
American capital whercwith to endow

nearest water route between the Allan
tic and Pacific slopes Of the United

lie should not be deceived by the talk
in some of our papers which argue that
the United States will hesitate about re-
affirming the Monroe doctrine because
we would be unable, with our present
contemplate navy, to prevent France
rom protecting him in his enterprise.
This assumes that France will deliber-
ately 60 to war with us to guarantee the
success Of N. de Lesseps, or it means
nothing. Besides being cowardly in
spirit, it is absurd in fact The French
government will drop NJ de Lesseps and
his schemes the moment our government
declares its hostility. The notion that
France. which has every resource strain
ed to guard against Germany, will go
out of her way to save NJ. dc Lcsscps
and his imaginative projects and to incur
the hostility of this country, is too idiotic
to deserve argument. When the Monroe
doctrine was proclaimed and sent out de
family to the allied Powers of Europe,
we had less than seven millions of peo-
pie. It's moral effect needed no navies to
enforce respect for it then. Would

WHY NOT AN EARLY VOTE?

If. as the emphatic vote in Cecil county
last Fall clearly indicated, a very decided
majority of the taxpayers of the county
believe that the abolition of the traffic in
intoxicating liquors throughout the
county will lessen crime in our commu-
mites, will foster public and encourage
private virtue, will reduce the burdens Of
citizenship. and promote generally the
public welfare, does it not follow that the
sooner its abolition be accomplished the
bettero Why then delay for q whole
year, or for even the portion of a year,
the popular vote on, and the consumma-
ton of, so desirable a reform ? On the first
of May next, the licenses rebate for the
incoming year. Undoubtedly if the Local
Option bill-conccded as being agreed
upon by our Representatives. at Annapolis
postponcs the vote until next November
provision must be made for = rebate on.
or pro ratio charge for licenses issued.
They are now not issued for Il fractional
part of year. and must be made 50 in
justice TO the liquor sellers.
Basing the argument against the post
ponemcnt of the vote on the certain re-
suit of the same. viz. the abolition of
the traffic then let it be done at once.
Let the bill provide for a popular vote
prior to May the first, and all the vcXa-
tious and unnecessary license business be
saved. Beside. what is very important.

cal issues Democrats and Republicans
alike want to cast 4 ballot on the merits
OF the issue. uninlucnccd and unbiased
by any party consideration. This they
cannot do at general election. And of
all elections that of November next is
the worst. To have as important uues-
ton as the abolition of the liquor traffic
in Cecil county added to the prospective
excitement of Presidential and Con-
greSsional campaign is. we think, iniudi-
cious and to be avoided. For these and
other reasons that might be named, we
commend the wisdom of the resolutions
recently passed by tho temperance men
Of Fort Deposit, asking our Representa-
tivcs to fix a special election for some
day previous to the 2Oth Of April. Ger
tainly i'll 50 important a matter the eX-
pcnsc to the public incurred iii Il special

ment compared to the greater good thus
