PARIS, March 26.-An article on Alex
ander ILL.,, written by q Russian Of high
position, says the new Czar will strive to
maintain good relations with Germany,
toward whom his attitude will be sensi-
BILE, the same as was that OF his father, and
France will enjoy more marked sympathy.
The relations with Austria have the ap.
pearanCe Of distrust, In any case triple
alliance will not be seen again. Relations
with England will be more cordial, prob
ably, on account OF the Ozar's warm
friendship for the Prince Of Wales.
VIENNA, March 26.-The PrsSs says:
Austrian Police recently informed the
Russian Government that o considerable
quantity Of dynamite had been landed at
Fruill TO be forwarded to Russia, The
Russian authorities requested the Austri.
ans to allow the dynamite 10 proceed as
far as the frontier. There II was received
by persons In the uniform of Russian po.

II was then discovered that the first Comers
were disguised Nlhilis,s, who succeeded
in smuggling the dynamite into the int.

senate 1t seems to be generally under
stood that his personal following in the

Greenbackers, and 1T might be well to raise
the question whether so strong Republ-
can district should not be represented by a
genuine Republican and man without a

When the election came of the official

The 1ri6une's spirit OF prophecy

The pretty poetical Enoch Arden sto

The pretty poetical Enoch Arden story
often fails when it comes to matter of fact.
Nearly all the first husbands who have
come home after long years and found
their wives married again, have turned the
other fellow out and taken possession, and
the wives have INTERESTINGLY agreed. None
of the tardy Enochs have gone spooking
around their old home unknown to be sure
that everything was as il should be, and
then dragged themselves off into corner
and died. That's all right for romance,
but facts are different. In late case the
double wife made variation. A Cleve-
land woman married lake sailor. His
schooner was lost. The wife thought he
was gone, and married another sailor. The
first returned while the other was away
sailing and claimed his wife. She tried to
explain, but he wouldn't have it, and com
menced his married life again. She be
came distracted, went to the lake and
threw herself in. The bystanders would
not let her drown and settle the question,
which is now left for the men to arrange
when the other sailor comes home.

The New York Tribune, in commenting
on the letter of Sessions contains the fol-
lowing:
Senator Sessions has issued card to
his constituents which for meekness and
sweetness and humility has proably never
been excelled. He states at length speci-
Gus arguments for various jobs in which
he was engaged at Albany; admits he has
done things in his lifetime which he re-
grets, and dismisses the allusion to his ca
reer as a lobbyist with the remark that
better men than he have lobbied for worse
measures" This undoubtedly true There
are very few lobbyists even of the low
grades who are not better men than Mr..
Sessions, but few of them add the shame
of hypocrisy to the sin of corruption A
worse lobbyist than Mr.. Sessions would
draw as a curiosity even in Albany. 1t is
for the Republicans of Chautauaua and
Cattaraugus counties to say whether they

We are now told that the Whitaker
trial has been of the greatest value to the
country. 1t has dishonored the experts.
1t has shown that Whitaker was fully up
in all his studies. 1t has shown what a
despicable set West Point officers are. This
is the Radical view of the subject, and the
country is congratulated that the testimony
and finding of the court is to be thorough
ly reviewed and that the president is a
lawyer and will be able to see through the
methods of justice practiced at the national
military school.

An exchange saws:

Messrs. Conkling and Platt are the last
of long list of Senators who have resign
ed their posts and returned, upon one rea-
son or other, to the bosom of their con
stituents From the foundation of the
government to the present time such resig-
nations number 211, and include some il
lustrious names, among which Daniel
Webster, Hannibal Hamlin, Henry Clay,
Simon Cameron, John Forsyth, Andrew
Jackson and John J. Crittenden. With
the exception of Clay, the Senators named
twice resigned. And among such Senators
was Jefferson Davis. John M. Berrien of
Georgia, resigned twice. Some of the re-
signations were to accept promotions or
other appointments The number of the
whole is surprisingly large, and goes far
toward the refutation of the Jeffersonian
remark that few officers idie, and none
resign"

Utica Observer Dem) June IS
If anything further were needed to fully
connect the administration at Washington
with the shame of Albany, it is furnished
by the remarkable statement made under
oath before the bribery committee yester-
day by Mr.. Robert H. Strahan, Senator
from the Eighth district. We do not know
anything against Senator Strahan, and I'M
derstand that he is considered among the
best men in the Legislature, he certainly
is one of the ablest. We assume that he

twice served as Chairman of the Judiciary
Committee of the Senate, by appointment
of President pro tenn. Robertson.
[Binghamton Republican (Rep.), June IS.
Suppose that for a moment we drop the
Bradley charge and turn to the condition
of the contest previous to the time it was
made, and before Mr.. Sessions's unsavory
record had been aired. Were not all these
papers willing to accept him as one of the
new machine leaders in the movement to
crush Senator Conkling? Was his pre-
vious record even limited at by any of the
half breed papers then? Was he not then
good enough to lead the anti Conkling
movement-good enough to represent the
so-called Administration wing of the Re
publican party? Do Republicans want to
be led by him now? Is he any worse now
than before? These are pertinent ques-
tons for honest Republicans to ponder.
Philadelphia Telegraph (Rep.), June 1871
Mr. Garfield has not yet gotten rid of
the idea that somehow it devolves upon
him to apportion the public offices, not for
the exclusive good of the public, but for
the purchase of the allegiance of this or
that set of working politicians. Mr. Garfield
is evidently increasing in practical wisdom
day by day, however, and consequently it
may come to pass that by the time the
regular session of Congress begins next
winter he will have persuaded himself to
believe that political party which is not
abundantly sustained by its principlet, and
which requires 10 be propped up by pat
ronage, is IN too ramshackle condition to
be of any particular consequence to any
body.
