Tho Russian PcaSantly,

| can sec many signs of change and
Improvement since my previous visit to
this country in 1872, writes 4 CORES
pondcnt TO tho San Francisco ChrOni-
Gle. For centuries the Russian peasant
had scarcely any idoa of personal libcr-
ty. He was Liable to be worked to
taxed. TO be torn from his family and
sent into the army or to Siberia, and
to SEQ his children similarly treated.
In 1869 Russian serf-owncr, Il woman,
was convicted Of having done to death
by inhuman torturcs during course Of
ten years no less than one hundred Of
her SORTS, among them several young
girls of not over II years of age. An
other female ficnd prckcd Il boy to
death with pen-knifc because hc had
neglected to feed her rabbits. All this
is now changed. The Scrfs have be-
como independent Of their lords,
whose authority is replaced by commu-
nal self-govcrnmcnt. The rural COM
muncs have gradually acquired tho
lands formerly held by the mobiles, and
hayo distributed them among the
families which compose the commune
with great impnrtiality and due regard
to their several claims and abilities.
The mobiles have not failed to accomno-
date themselves TO the change. For
mcrly they passed their lives in idle
ness, gambling and scnsuality, dcspis
ing commerce and finding thoir only
career in the army. Since the cman-
cipation many of them have become
practical farmers and others have gone
into business or into the legal profess
sion and helped swell the rising middle
class. The peasant has of lalo years
fallen heir to new duties. Tho admin
istration of justice has greatly i'm
proved, and trial by jury has usurped
the place of tho mobiles fiat. Tho peas
ants mako very good jurymon. They
arc unoducatcd, but do not lack in
shrewdnoss and common sense. Sharp
dealing in trade, assaults and battery,
and drunkenness they look upon rs
vcnial faults, but burglary, arson,
highway robbery, and tho graver
crimes arc dealt with stornly and, up
on the whole, worry fairly.

THE LANGTRY SCANDAL.
Three Divorce Suits Threstened-Wha at
She Thinks of the Affair.
From the Baltimore 4 merican.

From the Baltimore ADaericGn.
LONDON, July 26.-Three divorce suits
are threatened as the result of the Lang
try scandal. Efforts are being made to
settle matters without further publicity,
but in one OF the cases, in which the name
Of a high parsonage has been unpleas-
antly associated with the respondent, the
applicant is stated to have refused all
oyertures to stop proceedings. The pres
sure brought TO bear is, however, of sn Oh
character that it is highly improbable
that anything further VIII be heard
OF the action. The law courts of Great
| Britain are peculiarly susceptible to high
| influences. The stories OF Mrs. Langtry's
introduction to the Prince of Wales, of
the meetings at the town residence of a
member of Parliament, of the garden
scene at Marlborough house, where Mrs.
Langtry is said to have poured ice down
the Princes back, and the final exclusion
| OF Mrs. Langtry from the Princely circle,
now revived and floating about society,
| are calculated to have a bad effect on
public opinion, which nothing but a
thorough cleaning up in the light of day
can dissipate.
Your correspondent had an interesting
interview yesterday afternoon with Mrs.
Langtry, the unconscious cause of last
| Wednesdays fight between Sir George
Chetwynd and Lord Lonsdale. Mrs. Lang
! try lives in luxuriant apartments in
| Eaton square, an ultra-fashlonable region,
which reioices in being the place of resi-
| dence of several famous preachers. The
correspondent was ushered into an 9s-
thetic drawing-TOOm, decorated in cool
neutral tints, and with the glare of the
sun softened by curtains in low tones of
green and gray at each of the long win
dOws. The tables were strewn with por.
traits of Miss Ellen Terry, Mr.. and Mrs.
Kendall, Lady Lonsdaie, the Duke of
Edinburgh, and other notabilites. In
regard to the fight Mrs. Langtry said:
well, it is a repetition of the old story
two foolish cavaliers interruptng a
long and worthy friendship for the pur-
suit OF an ignus tatuus. Of course, the
story reached me, and l find that it has
been distorted in all sorts of horrible
ways. AS one of the versions has, as you
say, reached America, should like you
to tell my friends there the truth about
1t. Lord LOnsdale and Sir George quar-
relied because one of them possesses q pOr-
trait of me painted on china, which the
other thought he ought not to keep.
These hOt-hl0Oded gallants are both
friends OF mine," added Mrs. Langtry,
"but they apparently became possessed
Of a spirit of mad and jealous riyalrF,
which, however, is nothing to me-" and
she sighed, as If weary with the folly of
man. The correspondent offered his con.
dolences, and Mrs. Langtry extended her
hand as she expressed thanks in advance
for sending her version of the quarrel stO
her dear, dear friends in America"

TELEGRAPH TRAFFIC.
An Important Argument Heard by
Judge Speer 1T Atlanta.

An Important Argument Heard by
Judge Speer at Atlanta.
ATLANTA, July 29.-Before Judge Speer
in the Federal court to-day the entire
morning was occupied in hearing argu-
ments in the case in which the Bankers
and Merchants Telegraph Company Of
New York deny the legal right Of the re-
ceiver Of the Southern Telegraph Com
pany to make traffic arrangement with
the Western Union Telegraph Company
in certain States.
The receiver of the southern Telegraph
Company, OF Richmond, has already OBJ
tanned IA decree in the Federal courts ~
Virginia authorizing him to make traffic
ARRANGEMENTS with other companies, and
the case is being tried IN this State to see
whether tue Federal courts here
will pass Ike orders or deny the
right Of such traffic. Hon. John $. Wise,
who is the Republican candidate for Gov
ernor of Virginia, is representing the
southern Telegraph Company, ana the
Bankers and Merchants Company is rep
resented by Messrs. LOchrane & Son.
Judge Speer will reserve his decision tor a
day or two. The impression of those who
heard the arguments, as well as the in
quiries aud sueg estions, leave little doubt
but that the decision will be favorable to
the Arrangement

ALONDON SCANDAL.
An English Statesman Found in a Very
Compromising Position.


LONDON, July 30.-A Radical member
OF the House of Commons and Of the late
Cabinet Is seriously annoyed by preya-
lent scandal. According to the current
story, this statesman, who is a widower,
took to his private residence few weeks
ago the wife of another well-knOwn Lon
don gentleman. They entered room,
when, to the horror Of the lady, she dis
covered another woman in the apartment.
This compromised the lady so much that
she bitterly upbraided the states
man, and there was a terrible scene.
She finally left the house in des-
perate anger, and confessed the whole
circumstance to her husband. The scan
dal becoming public, the aggrieyed hus-
band begged the aid of noble Earl and a
most popular Commoner, both members
of the late Cabinet, to suppress the re-
ports. Both the ex-Ministers consented
to try, and they have employed the past
fortnight in efforts to make a settlement.
The friends of the accused are willing to
pay any sum TO prevent an exposure.
Both houses of Parliament are fully pos
sessed OF the facts, and the scandal is the
sole topic Of conversation in all the West
End clubs. The Tories are gleeful, and
the present Ministers have high hopes of
running, by an exposure, the famous citi-
zen and diplomat who Is lnculpated. The
Tories are straining every nerve to secure
an exposure, 30 as to destroy the chance
OF Radical success at the general election.
They are urging the husband not to re-
cede, and are promising him legal aid and
social protection. The subject engrossed
the attention of all in the Hobbies of the
House last night.
1t is alleged that the ineulpated states
man refraIned from addressing great pO-
litlcal meeting last night which he had
intended to address.
Proceedings are pending against Sir
Charles Dixie, involving damages of
100000, in connection with this now
famous scandal case. Strong social and
political influences are working to ~ayert
public trial. Sir Charles Dixie is COM
| pleteiy Frustrated, and has retired to the
country. The lady concerned is related
to Mrs. Ashton Dixie. The in
| jured husband is an active Radi-
cal, and formerly held a minor office.
II ia reported that he insists upon
| divorce TO vindieate his honor, damages
being no object to him. His wife received
d0wry of E 100, 900 from her father, who
IS member of the House of Commons.
The lady is much younger than her hus-
band, and they have no family. Re-
greet over the eclipse of Sir Charles Dixie
| is felt in all political sections.

HIGHER EDUCATION.
There is some dissatisfaction because
no provision was made for higher educa-
ton. All propositions looking to the ad-
yancement Of the State University, the
Agricultural College and the East and
West Florida Seminares were voted
down. 1t was finally agreed that the
Legislature might provide for normal
schools, not to exceed two in number.
The people are apt to look upon the
new instrument with favor. There is OPP
position to some Of it's provisions, but not
so serious as TO endanger its adoption.

Fort Douglas, a gentleman and a sol

like an organized attack against the gov

respondent.
The General seemed to evade this ques-
ton as beyond the limits of hid agreed d.

Can they intend to levy petty reprisals,
subject their Christian neighbOrs to small
prosecutions, or are they planning grand
occasion OF slaughter in the night OF the
st. Bartholomew order?

There can be no reasonable doubt that

they will not venture to half express.
The DeSeret NeiCS, the official Mormon
organ, in its current issues, voices the
most sedltious, reasonable, and tncendia-
Ty declarations which ever assailed gov

upon pOlygamy In Utah, and the military
