THE REASON WHY THE CoTNrEss
HENDRlKoFF WAS BANIsHED BY rHR
CzAR-FEARs FOR TIRE RUSSIAN
IDEs OF MARCH.
LONDON, Feb. 25.-Our St. Peters
burg correspondent telegraphs to-day the
reasons which led to the banishment of
Countess Hendrikoff This lady. the
wife of one OF the masters OF ceremonies
a. the imperial court, was recently
"admlnistra;ively" hurried across the
frontier without a moments warning.
ms measure excited no little surprise
AT the tlHe. The Countess was well
known in st. Petersburg society,
especially for her of hand manner and
free speech, and it was suspected that
she had been guilty of expressing her
sell too freely on affairs connected with
the imperial household. 1t now appears
that the Countess did express herself II
the effect that IN case the Empress
should die the Emperor would in all
probability mary the Princess Doleo-
roukl. This remark having been report
ed to the Gar he at once ordered Tho
y unless TO leave the Empire within
twenty-four hours. To make sure that
these orders we're earned out two office,
we're sent to escort the lady across the
frontier.
THE COMING ANNIVERSARY.
A ST. Petersburg despatch TO the Tunes
says There is certainly a sense OF
insecurity observable in every direction
here, and while there is great fear that
Iha' something will happen before the
.hN II. /,
TO tie throne, there is also settled Idea
which IS destined probably TO be dlsap-
pointed, that the Gar will proclaim
something new on that occasion. The
most important fact connected with tho
latter expectation is that very important
S,ate documents are in course of passine
through the press in the printing Office
OF the fourth section. A Certain lumber
OF trustworthy men have been working
at these papers for three weeks.

REPURLICAN ENCOURAGEMENT

Neither General HANCOCK nor General
GARFIELD can I've elected without the famed
lS5 electoral votes of which Senator
CHANDLER made proclamation when he
declared HAYES election in 1876. HAN
COCK starts off, a. his friends contend, with
13S votes from the solid south. As it now
looks the chances are that there will be u
break in that ballot and eleven votes may
be lost in Virginia, reducing that solid vote
TO l27. This will leave HANCOCK short by
So votes Of the lS5. He must secure New
York, New jersey, Connecticut and Indi-
ana to secure nm election. If the republi-
cans carry Indiana, as seems to he widely
conceded, that casts another shadow upon
HANcoCR's prospects Without Virginia the
New York Herald says "If the now doubtful
states of New York, New Jersey and Con-
"necticut should give HA NCoCK their votes
he would still be eight votes short of the
Unnecessary 1856. Neither Pennsylvania Ohio
"nor Indiana can he counted on by the
lie mocrats with anything more than vague
"hope."
In view Of these figures IL is difficult TO
see where democratic comfort can be
CLEANED from their contemplation. Then
Connecticut will cast her vote for GAR
FIELD and New York and New Jersey will
do the same This is the prospect with n
two months campaign to be fought over
AS campaign was never fought over before
and with GARFIELD constan tly gaining in
strength and popularity, while all must see
that HANcocEs boom has eliminated, and
from this time forth TO the day of election
he will he constantly falling behind in the
race. There is everything to nerve the re-
publican heart to action.

rnE DEATH or GENERAL MYER.

We have already announced the fact
of General MYERS death MS received by tel
egraph, but we cannot acquit n sense ofduty
except by referring more fully to his record
and character as a man and official, He
was a native OF the state Of New York, be-
ing born in 1927; was educated at Geneva
college where he graduated in 1sl7. He
studied medicine and graduated at the
university Of Buffalo in 1851, receiving the
degree Of NJ d, He entered the army three
years subsequently as assistant surgeon, in
which capacity he served on the Texas
frontier until 1857, In ls55 he was placed
on special duty in the signal service, where
he continued until 1860, having attained
the rank Of major, During the years lsGO
and 1901 he was in the campaign against
the Navajoe Indians in the Rocky noun
tnins.
When the war of rebellion came Major
MYER entered the service as q signal officer
on the stan of General BUTLER, at Fortress
Monroe, where he organized and COM
mauded the signal camp He then be.
came aide de.camp to General MCDoW.
ELL, and took part in the first battle OF
Bull Run. He was subsequently attached
to the staff Of General MCCLELLAN, aud
established camps of instruction and signal
parties. In 1862 he was in command OF
the signal corps of the army OF
the Potomac, serving at Manasses,
