HELP foR THE LAND LEAGUE.
A Aproposition 10 send American Lawyer
70 defend the Indicted Lenguers,


New York, December 3.-The Herald
has the following Boston special:
The movement to send American coun.
sci over to Ireland to assist in defending
the Land League leaders originated in this
city. Last Saturday the matter was laid
before Gen. Butler for his approval, and
he expressed himself strongly in favor Of
the scheme, but thought that he could not
get away from his business at the time the
trials would come of, owing to an i'm.
portant Gaze he had before the United
States Supreme Court. The Rev. Law.
renee Walsh, OF Middletown, Ct, Treas
urer OF the Land League in America, was
asked the same day to send cable To Par
nell and ask his opinion as to the ad'
visibility OF the scheme. Two other dis
patches were sent to him on the same sub
jeCt, but no answer has yet heen received
It was decided not TO make any move in
the matter until he was heard from, so the
action taken in Brooklyn is premature.
The plan agreed on by the Land League
people here was to send Gen. Butler, Gen
Roger A. Pryor, Jere. Black and Emory
A. Storrs. to Ireland, as counsel for the in
dicted. There was talk OF Matt Carpenter
as 50 ubstitute in case Judge Black or any
OF the others should be prevented from
accepting a retainer in the case. 1t wat
expected that enough money could be
promptly raised in this country to defray
all the expenses OF the expedition.
The reason the project was started wa
that ruMor had gained circulation tC
the effectt that all the leading counsel in Ire
land had been retained by the governmen
before the indictments were found, ant
that Mr.. Parnell and his followers wert
compelled to secure the services Of secont
rate lawyers. The only question wa
whether American lawyers would be per
mitted 10 practice in British court. Thi
could be done only by courtesy, and as th'
courtesy has always been extended, 1t wa
thought that the government would no
risk the severe criticism which would nee
essarily follow refusal. Leading lawyer
here differ on this point, a majority main
tanning that American counsel could no
practice in the courts under the circum
stances. II Parnell sends q favorable re
sponse, however, the experiment will b
tried,

An Uneasy Czar.

A writer in the Voltaire, who signs himself '' Un Russe," paints deplor- able picture of the terrors by which the Czar is haunted and of the precautions taken to secure his person from injury. At sone time the Emperor of all the Russians was in the habit of wearing a coat of mail, very delicate and supple, but, unable to endare the weight, he has abandoned this ark of safety. His uniforms, however, are now specially prepared, and are said to be steeped in particular wash which renders them bullet-proof. The carriages and sledges used by the monarch are also plated with iron, and such is the mysterious secrecy with which he is surrounded that even the most trusted policemen are ignorant half an hour beforehand in what direction he is going. The cook is watched at his work by two special en- ployees, and the kitchen door is guarded by two seninels. The vlands are tasted by experts, and only offered to the Czsr when they are convinced that no poison is lurking in them. Fond as he is of a good cigar, the Emperor is obliged, from similar motives of prudence, to forego the pleasure of smoking. Such is said to be the life of the greatest autocrat in the world, who must now and then envy the lot even of the meanest of his subjects.
Connecticut western news., 1880-03-10
The Terror In Russia.

The condition of affairs in St. Peters burg is dreadful. The bonds which connect men in society seem to be loosened or loosening in Russia. The community is resolving into its primitive clements. The state of war which Hobbes and theorists who follow his lead point as the primitive condition of mankind has come as the result of defective social and political arrange ments in Russia. Confidence seems lost. Friends and even the closest re- lations have lost confidence in each other. The Emperor's son is suspected of compicity in the scheme to assassinate- his father, and, un- fortunately, the annals of the Romanoffs and the disorganized state of society do not negative the possibility that such suspicious are baseless and idle calumnies.
 The social atmosphere of Russia is oppressive. One knows not what to expect. He expects the worst. Men never become used to earthquakes. They are always towards in the presence of them. In the presence of social up- heavals the governors and governed quake with fear. Russia seems now in state very similar to if not practically identical with the state of the Roman Empire under Nero, and the worst of the Caesars, or that of France under the old regime, when the revolution was maturing.
 The dispatches say that l, 200 persons have been apprehended in St. Peters, burg alone for alleged complicity in the plot to assassinate the Emperor by blowing up the Winter Palace. The troops have been busy in making the arrests, but the people know nothing of how many there are. They are not permitted to leave their houses, and are thus kept in ignorance of all the movements of troops and of arrests effected and doniciliary visits made outside of the particular families resi- ding in the houses visited. Graphic.

Officers in Earnest.

Seven hundred and fifty-seven officers of the Bolivian army, all above the grade of sub-ieutenant, at the begin ming of the South American war issued the following oath, with request that posterity should keep an eye on it:
 eve, who carry sword at our girdle which our fatherland has confided to us, to defend it and preserve intact it's honor, swear thousand times over not to sheath that sword before averaging the outrage which Chili has committed on Bolivia. And to fulfill these oaths we are prepared for every sacrifice, begin ming by the renouncement of salaries, and subjecting ourselves to camp rations on the same scale as the soldiers. Thus be it, and let posterity judge us."
 Posterity would no doubt be perfectly willing to judge, if it could only learn whether the seven hundred and ffty- seven officers have got through with their averaging, or are still at the stage of swearing.
