We trust that we are now entering upon

Crop Failure IN Russia.

st. Petersburg dispatch dated January
9Th, says;
1t is very difficult in Russia to arrive at the
truth with regard to any question affecting the
internal condition of the country. This years
harvest was undoubtedly very much better
than those of the preceding year, but there is
reason to believe that instead of being really
good one, as both government and private re-
ports made out, it is a matter of fact that it
fell short of the average. Even this much can
only be said of grain, tor the hay crop was
simply failure and owing to the inacton of
the authorities and the indulgence of the peo-
pie, the effect upon the live stock of the coun-
try is likely to prove disastrous Already,
several weeks ago, before the closing of navi-
CATION, the agricultural commission sent in a
memorandum to the home ministry calling at
tention to the danger, and recommending
prompt action on the part of the government,
but, as usual, this document was tossed about
from one department to another until the
time for action had gone by. The waterways
are now locked up With ice, and no efforts can
prevent serious loss of live stock and further
inpoverishment OF a country already suffer
Ing from series of bad harvests. A gentle
man from Samara reports that the Bashkirs
lost last wear two-thirds of their stock, and it
is to be feared that they will now be reduced
to absolute beggary. ''.''

All the indications at present point to the
general shaking up OF the dry bones OF
Bourbonism in the South within the next
few years. The influence of the example
OF Virginia in the last election is rapidly
permeating the whole political fabric of
the Southern States, and the manifestations
In Georgia, Tennessee, Alabama, Louisi-
ana, South Carolina and Texas are very
encouraging. Gentlemeia OF high charac-
Ger and sagaeity are carefully atndying the
situation with view to such coalitions as
viii give promise OF che overthrow, If no,
destruction OF, the Bourson party in each
Of the States named. These wonld be
nothing rash in predicting that at seast five
or SIX OF the States which have heretofore
formed part of the "Soifd South politi-
eaily will come out from under the domin-
foR of the old Bonrbon machine, and align
themselves with the liberal. progressive sen
aament OF the age. The adMia istration. it
is reasonable to assume. will give all the
aid 1t can iegitimately, flor the ideas and
principles are the same as those to which
the Republican party stands committed. 1t
Will be an suspicious dag for the country
and especially the South when the people
shall become emaneipated from the party
despotism from which they have suffered
for so many years and are placed abreass
Of the times In which they live and can
hopefully look to the future.

We take the following from the Anderson
Enterprise:
On one day during Christmas week as one
of the through freights was hating at this
place, MIR. E. P. Childs, brakeman on the
train, in attempting to put on brakes, slipped
and fell between the cars. One of his legs ex-
tended across the rail but with much presence
of mind he hastily drew it back under the car
He was caught by the brakes and was drag
ged some fifteen feet. The car was going very
slowly and stopped after it had dragged Mr.
Childs the distance given above. He was
taken out in a bruised condition. One of his
thighs was disloCated, his shoulder bone bro
ken and he was otherwise bruised up He
was taken to the Monroe House and there at
tended by DIS. Spicer and Barksdale. His
dislocated thigh was pulled in place and his
wounds dressed After several days suffering
he so far recovered as to be able to be sent
home. Mr. Childs showed great presence of
mind or else his leg would have been crushed
by the wheel. We believe he was originally
from Louisa county Virginia.

The Republican sentiment of France is
becoming pretty we'll fixed. It's growth is
giving q very conservative character TO the
people OF that country. indicating that they
are,doing their own thinking and drawing
upon their own resources for the political
methods OF the Republic. Republican
ideas educate to self-reIance, develop
Thought and make statesmen-confining
leaders to no particular class. but recognize
ing merit wherever it is to be found. In
this way the great mass of the people are
improved, and become elevated in their as
piratlons. In the election in France on the
5th 81 Republicans aud Is Conservatives
were chosen to the Senate, a gain of %
Republican seats. The Senate and the
Chamber OF Deputies are in harmony, which
promises veil for the. Republic.

Railroad Management" in which you
stated that the connection of the C. & o. K.

Junction, for the North, had been broken
by recent change in their schedule. which
statement we fear may iniure our business
to some extent, therefore we will be glad il
you will make the following correction.
We have two daily Express trains from
Stanton to the North, one leaving at 10
a. M. and one at l2:45 at night
These trains have always made and are
now making close connection for Baltimore,
Washington and all points North.
We have also two daily trains, arriving
here from the North, one at 30 am. and
one at $3.50 p. IN. The only connection that
is affected by the bad management" is
the morning train due here at l:2O a. w.,
which only causes delay ofireight brought
to Staunton on that train. OF few hours.
All freight leaving Stanton, makes
through connection. and is delivered prompt
ly, as we have always done heretofore.
