According to the st. Petersburg cor
respondent of the Cologne Gazette, the
attempt to govern Russia by means of
commissions has proved failure. The
plan set forth in the Emperor's manifesto
last April was coldly received by the
people, and the Nihilists are more busy
with their underground agitation than
ever To abandon this pro eramme and
adopt a parliamentary regime is now
considered impossible, for the masses Of
the people are still devoted to the idea of
an absOlutist Gar, and any such abdica-
ton by Alexander III. of his imperial
power would only bring him into con.
tempt If what was refused in April
was conceded now the triumph of the
Cars adversaries would be complete,
and yet revolution would not be averted.

The Siemens electric railroad, so far
the only one which has been successfully
operated on practical scale, has three
rails for track, on two of which the
cars run, the current being conveyed
through the third, which is in contact
with the machinery, and after working
the drivers TIE return current is trans
mitted on the first two rails. As DOW
erful electric current is constantly pass
ing through these rails, they offer the
same danger to a person crossing them as
an uncovered electric light wire In Berlin
a horse was seriously injured by step
ping from rail TO rail, so as to pass the
current through his body; and at Paris,
where the rails were exposed to passers
by, their use, except to carry the wheels,
was given up and the original current
and its return were managed through
two brass tubes, split on their under side
their whole length, through which
moved cylinders of brass connected with
machinery. The experience on this rail
road, like much with the electric light,
shows that a first necessity in dealing
with it is to insure protection against &C
cidents Of all kinds.

night. The regiment has been in service
forty two years, and it is worthy of re-
mark that on the night they were
mustered out the eight companies pre-
scented an average of forty men in uni

not relieve the members from military
duty, but states that on joining other
organizations they will be credited with
their respective times of service in the

In our local columns this morning ap-
pears an article in reference TO the delay
on the part of the National Light House
Board in erecting the beacons and lights
on the Savannah river, for which an ap-
preparation was made at the last session
of Congress. 1t viii be observed that
one cause of the delay is stated
to be the failure to obtain
from the State a transfer of
title and jurisdiction in two sites on
Long Island, the title to which is invest
ed in the State of Georgia. The matter
has been brought to the attention of the
Governor. who has authority to cede
such title and jurisdiction, and We trust
that the importance of prompt action in
the premises being so apparent, there will
be no further delay.
