Senator Beck.

The Democratic caucus held TO
nominate United State Senator last
week chose Hon. Jas B Beck. with.
ont dissenting voice. This evidence
of confidence in Mr.. Beck by the peo
pies representatives In theLegislature
should be highly gratifying to the
distinguished statesman. There have
been times when Mr.. Beck's course
has not been just as his constituents
would have had it. but upon the whole
his six years in the Senate have been
such that an endorsement was due
him. His democracy has never been
doubted and his ability has made him
not only the champion OF his party In
Kentucky, but of the whole South.
The manner in which he recently
used up Edmunds, the ablest Repub-
lican in the Senate, convinced his
party that in Mr.. Beck they had a
statesman able to cope successfully in
debate with the greatest men OF the
day.

The uneasiest head that wears a crown is,
unquestionably, that of the Car OF all the
Russias. A st. Petersburg letter gives
gloomily interesting account of his mode OF
living and of the extraordinary precautions
taken TO insure his safety. His present resi-
dence, the castle of Gatcoina, is thirty miles
from the capital. Before the court removed
thlther, several hundred artisans were sent
to make the necessary alterations. At mid
night they assembled IN the church at Cat
china, and were sworn secretly to silence,
death or Siberia being the penalty of the in
fraction of their oath. Somebody, however,
lOosened the tongues of the workmen, and
the following is description of the precau-
tions against assassination made in the palace
of the Gar; A subterranean passage leads
from the Cars room to the stables, where
number of horses are kept saddled and brid-
led day and night. Sentinels are posted at
intervals Of twenty yards all around the
building The imperial bedroom has two
windows, protected at night by massive iron
shutters, which can only he reached from the
outside by passing through three spacious
ante chambers, in which are posted eighty
Cossacks, armed to the teeth. They are al
lowed to speak and TO move about in the two
outer rooms, but in the hall adjoining the
Car $ bedroom, perfect silence is maintained
all night. The general on duty for the day
sits in an easy chair, his Cossacks sitting on
the divan which runs around the whole room.
At the generals right hand is the knob OF an
electric apparatus, which rings a bell in every
guard house within the palace grounds.
When the Emperor is about to retire to rest
before shutting the door he removes the outer
handles so that no entrance can be effected
until he himself personally opens the door
from the inside.
