The Eussian correspondent Of the
Temps lends a frightfuIly vivid descrip-
ton of the decentralization, the drunken
ness, the mise md poverty Of the Rus
sian people. His accounts are fully con-
firmed by a series of articles in the
Golos. The Russian writer doubts
whether the peasantry have been gamers
whether they have advanced in civil
zation-since their emancipation in
1861. AssUredly they are no longer sold
like cattle; their children are no longer

Our Democratic friends are worried
because Gen. Garfield did not resign his
position in congress before the general
election, and thus save the expense of a
special election. The reason was, prob
ably, that General Garfield had no as
surance that he would be elected, and
any such action on his part would have
looked very presumptious. To say the
least, especially since he would not have
taken his seat in the senate until the
fourth of March next. Garficld's course
in this, as in all other public acts of his,
was exactly the correct one for him to

THE CONSPIRACY.


We give considerable room to-day for

Chinese letter forgery case which is ut
tracing national attention. The drcis-
ion was given on motion la discharge
Philip from the charge of being che tor
ger, his attorneys claiming the evidence
was not sufficient 10 hold him Judge
Davis covers the ground of ihe whole
case completely, and shows up the enor-
nifty of the attempt TO control
national election by such
dastardly means. Is the nation safe
for day, when such plottcrs, such vile
conspirators, IRE allowed To do such
work as was attempted in this scheme to
ruin General Garfield, and defeat. the
candidate of great political party =?
No wonder there are thousands of good
men announcing their separation from
such party, and that there are every
where signs of its disintegration. The
Democratic national committee will Ger
tainly be directly connected with the
crime. 1t is already proven
that the expenses of O'Brien aud Morey.
the perjurers, were paid by the commit
tee. The leaders of the great Democratic
party seem to have become SIMPLY a
band OF political highwaymen, belray-
ing the best interests of not only their
party but the country, at every step. This
conspiracy seems TO be the closing act OF
the managers who rcsorted to the notori-
Gus attempt 10 buy electors four years
ago-to the cipher dispatches, and last
year TO the attempt TO snbvert
popular government in Name. tt the
act that has at last closed the desperate
attempt OF the Democratic leaders 20
gain control of the government, and
sealed the fate Of the party in this coun-
ary. The Democratic party as 1t has been
in this country will never make another
national campaign. It has been weigh
ed in the balances and is found wanting.
This foulest conspiracy that was ever at
tempted IN American soil is the last
nail in its coffin.
