No sigh is beard In thee;
No groan. No helpless hears
Aches there with misery.
Tears fall not all the night

Oh grave, how safe thou art
BY this low, peaceful shore,
Whose music soothes tho heart
Like mother-hymns of yo c.
Fears, troubles, sleep in thoe,
Oh grave, no more.
Oh grave, stretch forth thine arms;

ST. PETERSBURG, April =.
In the trial of the Nihilists implicated in tn G
assassination of the late Gear, after the read
ing of the indictments was concluded, the
President of the Court asked the prisoners
whether they wished to say anything. ROus-
sakoff, who threw one of the bombs, spoke for
half an hour. He said he primarily desired to
agitate peacefully, but entered into the late
conspiracy, seeing no other way out of the so
cial troubles.
Michailoff, who was arrested as he entered
ROussakoff's house, said he belonged to the
Terrorist faction of the party, but denied
ROussakOf's statement that he participated in
the arrangements for the murder of the Car.
Hessy Helfmann acknowledged that she kept
cOnspiratOrs' clearinghouse, whIh was a
depot for their implements, but denied having
actively participated in the Cars assassina-
ton.
kibaltschitisch, the bomb-maker, avowed
his connection with "The Will of the People
Party" their wish, he SAID, being to gain their
objects by peaceful propaganda, but they
were reluctantly obliged to adopt Terrorist
measures. He admitted preparing five bombs.
Sophia Pieofsky avOwed herpartic patton in
the preparation of the Moscow mine, and in
the murder ofthe Gar.
JeliabOf, who is the most intelligent of the
isfacrion, the history of the two Alexandroisky
mines. He said he was at the head of one
group Of the party, and was charged by the
entire commute e with the work OF OF ganizing
an attack by bombs, and was connected with
the SadOwa street mine as u simple worker.
After these declarations the ProcuratOr
stated it would perhaps be possible to shorten
the trial. JeiiabOf, in his statement, attempt
ed to extenuate the cases of RoussakOf and
MichailOt, by asserting that the former was
only prOpagandist among the workmen, and
knew nothing of the arrangement for the
murder OF the Car until the day of its accom-
plishment. and the latter was entirely uncOn-
nected with the crime. JeliabOff showed great
skill in cross-exanining the witnesses, and sue
ceeded in utterly confusing one of them.
ST. PETERSBURG, April 10.
At the trial of the Nihiiists Saturday, As
sistant Prosecutor Mevrarief strongly de-
nounced the revolutionary doctrines and
deeds avOwed by the accused; demanded the
severest penalty for all implicated. AMI con-
cluded by declaring that the fidelity of the
people to the Imperial throne was mistaken,
and that the efforts of the Terrorist party in
this din ection had proved absolutely abOrtive.
The prisoners listened unmoved. Jeliabof
and Kibaltschitscih took notes.
After the recess counsel for the defense
spoke two hours. Jeliabof spoke in his own
behalf. He was several times interrupted by
the presiding Judge. When Jeliabod finished
the Court asked the accused if they had any
further defense to urge, and they replied
in the negative. The Court retired for
consultation, and returned al 1870
this morning. Twenty-four questions
formulated for determination concerning
the prisoners guilt were then read.

ANOTHER SHORT LESSON IN CITY Fl
NAECES

Eps. RECORD. UNION In 1871 the public
debt of the city of Sacramento amounted to
nearly $1,000 600. The outstanding bonds
amounted to 81, 600, 600. upon which interest
was delinquent for over five years. The
interest upon these bonds accumulated at the
rate of about 500, 900 per annum. The
Mayor and Boards of Trustees dritted help
lessly into this fast-risiug food of debt Its
constantly augmenting and alarming proper
tions threatened at no distant day to involve
the properly of citizens in the common ruin
of overwhelming taxation. At the date men
toned Judge Beatty proposed and, by his
own exertions and largely at his own cost,
but into operation his plan. The test OF
merit is the result Let Us try Judge Beatty's
plan by this test. Place the debt at 81, 500
600 in 1871; to this add S92, 600 per annum
from 1871 to 1SS1-ten years-and you have
81, 720, co., Now to-day the entire debt OF
the city Outside the bonds and coupons held
in trust for the city, and including all bonds
and coupons) amounts in round numbers to
81, 100000. The amount, then of the pub
lie debt discharged in the ten years is the
difference between S2,720, 600 and 81, 100000
equal to 81, 800, COO OF this sum nearly
$500, 600 has been discharged by the opera
ton of Beatty's plan, at cost to the tax
payers of less than $500, 600. Now, the
point is plain, to wit The city is indebted
to Judge Beatty for the change of policy, as
we'll as an effective plan whereby, instead
of debt amounting to 81, 720, OO0-whieh
would have been a ruinous encumbrance-
the existing debt, even including the out
lawed coupons, is but 81, 5000 600. | repeat,
the test of merit is success. LooKER-oN.
