TWaddle.
PepubEcdn ::

From the Hare de Grace Republican:
Our brilliant and usually logical Washing
ton correspondent, ''Phaks,' in his letter in
another column, INDUCES in little partisan
twaddle, saying that the reason the demands
of the country for relief from the oppressive
tariff are not complied with, is solely on ac.
count Of the Democratic Obstructonists.
We would just say in reply, that if Republi-
cans, when in possession of both houses of
Congress, the Department of Justice and the
Executive, are impotent and powerless to
alter or amend simple revenue laws, it is time
for them to surrender the reins of the govern
ment into other hands. The Democrats have
sins enough Of their own 10 tpthep without
being made the pack horse of the wrangles
and biunders of the Republican party.

A Great Promise for Russia.

The unexpected and startling an
nouncement comes from st. Petersburg
that the Gar has at length broken
away from the mobiles who have hung
as heavy weight upon his Judgment,
and has decided to grant his people
more reforms, and that greatest of all
boons coveted by Russia Constitu-
ton. Count Tolstoi, Minister of the
Interior is said to be entrusted with the
drafting of this document, and upon
approval by the Gar, he will promul-
gate it as the fundamental law of Rus
STA.
If this is true, Alexander Ill has
more than kept the promise of his cor
onation. The refusal to do his people
this right cost the Cars father
his life and has made his own later
years period of constant terror. The
granting of a Constitution will make it
possible and safe for him to move free
ly and without the surroundings of
armed Cossacks; it will fulfill the chief
mission of the revolutionary party, who
have been his greatest because most in
fiuential foes, and it will be the virtual
death blow of that more brutal form of
opposition, Nihilism.' But beyond the
considerations of personal safety, Alex
andsr Ill, if he has really resolved to
give his people Constitution, will go
into history as the ruler who placed
Russia among the enlightened nations
of the earth.-Springfeld Mass Re-

The Students Court at Bowuoin.

There is a general impression outside
of Bowdoin College that the admins
tration of discipline is the same at
Bowdoin as at Amherst. This, how
ever, is mistake. At Amherst a Sen
ate," composed of four men from the
Senior, three from the Junior, two from
the Sophomore, and one from the Fresh
men class, is chosen. The President of
the college acts as chairman. This
Senate deliberates upon all the matters
relating to the college welfare, and by
its decisions gives the voice of the
students in regard to them. The Faculty,
however, may or may not abide by its
decisions.
AT Bowdoin curry is chosen con-
sisting of one man from each ofthe four
classes, one from each of the five secret
societies, and one from the "orders, " or
those belonging to no secret society,
provided they are ten in number. The
President of the college, or some one
chosen by him, acts as Judge. "The
distinctive office of the jury, in con-
junction with the President, is to admin
lister justice, and within that line of duty
its jurisdiction shall cover all matters
relating to the peace, order, security
and good name of the undergraduate
college community, except matters Q
of payments due to or from the college,
(2) of conduct during recitations, decla-
nations or lectures, (3) of attendance
at required exercises. But in all these
excepted matters the question of decep-
ton or deliberate falsehood, if raised
shall be a distinct issue within the juris-
diction of the jury"
The jury returns two verdicts-one of
fact and one of opinion. The verdict of
facts states the facts of the case, and
the verdict of opinion gives the opinion
of the jury as to which of the four
grades of offences the one in question
belongs to. The Judge charges the jury
and passes sentence. He may, however,
remit the whole or part of the punish
ment. "But he cannot in any case
impose heavier penalty than that of
the grade fixed by the jury."-AlbamV
