THE DEMOCRATS, that is the true demo-
Gratis, the revenue tariff men. have been
trying to repeal the laws which prevent the
people of this country from buying foreign
built ships. If war should break out be-
tween England and Russia great opportu-
mites would be afforded neutral nations In
the way of the ocean carrying trade. But
this country, though neutral would he ex
clu1ed from those opportunities because
she has neither ships of her own nor is she
pernitted to buy them abroad.

England and Russia.

LONDON, April 2S.-The news of another
battle, though it is yet uncon6rmed, has
greatly increased, the danger Of war. The
| Times says that the rumor is probably the
first oozing out of news which has been off.
cially suppressed. At present only the In
dependence Beige and the Daily NeUs have
received a report of the battle. 1t is pre-.
sumed that body of Russians followed a
body of retreating Afghans, while scouting
in the country for the purpose of collecting
information, and perhaps pushed to Chame.
nibeide, thus coming into contact with the
Afghan troops on the direct route to Herat.
Or similar movement may have been
made from Fulfken or Akrobat. AT pres
ent there is nothing to show where the con-
| Hict occurred.
A declaration of war is not expected to
follow directly upon rupture of diplomatic
relations. Baron de Staal and Sir Edward
Thornton would be recalled, and Russia
would then probably order General
Komarotf to advance on Herat Eng
land meanwhile occupying Quota and
Candahar The fact that the Rus
sian transport, which passed through
the Suez canal and then was ordered back
is still waiting at the entrance of the suez
canal caused some anxiety. Grain freights
to the north of England from the Sea of
Azov were, last week, 26 shillings, and are
now 80 shillings. The first charter for coal
TO be sent to Cronstadt was made at West
lEartlepool yesterday, at 6sSd per ton, which
is nearly Is above last years rate Russian
importers are anxious to get coal early into
The Baltic All British merchantmen have
been insured against war risks. During the
last few days it has been reported that the
whole Russian coast of the Baltic has been
strongly fortified, and that The approach at
any point is dangerous, owing to the pres
ence of torpedoes and sea mines.
BERLIN, April 2S.-The National Zeiung
says that Germany remains neutral in the
present crisis in the relations of England
and Russia, adding that no request has been
received for mediation. The National lei.
tang also denies that the Car wrote the
Eml.ero of Germany that the chances for
peace had diminished.
PARIS, April 2S "A special dispatch from
Berlin to the Journal des Debats states that
Germany is not disposed to become the me-
Iintnr l,ntmonr Rnosia and ENGLAND Thu
dispatch also states that Russia even refuses
arbitration as means of settlement of her
present differences with England.

ALEXANDRIA, VA.
TUESDAY EVENING, APRIL %.

NOT ONLY Northera republicans, butmug
vnmns and even democrats from the same
section, oppose the appointment OF ex'Con-
federates to foreign missions unless they
have had the disabilities attached 10 them oy
reason of the civil war removed by SPECIAL
act of Congress. and advise the President TO
select for such appointments democratic
soldiers of the North This indicates that,
at least, many of the people of the NORTH
do not think as the late Senator Sumner
thought, that "amity and good feeling
between fellow citizens can only be assured
by oblivion of past differences" Not only
that, but it shows that the expression OF
their luminosity toward their fellow citizens
oflhe South is not restrained either by regard
for law or respect for justice, for it has been
decided over and over again that pardon
granted By the President sis full pardon
for all ofenses from participation in the re-
belliou;" that it relieves the holder from
"all penalties and disabilities attached to
participation in the rebellior;" that so lar
az that ofirnse is concerned "he is placed
beyond the reach OF punishment OF any
kind" and that punishment is mot beyond
.the reach of executive clemency."

DIcKsoN's ACoUITTAL.-Dickson, on trial
in Washington for trying to influence a
star route jury, has been acquitted. Elk
Attorney General Brewster, who was on the
witness stand yesterday, was quite excited
and considerably chagrined and disappoint-
ed. He says that he does rot intend to
rest under the imputations cast uron him,
and that he will write out full account of
his connection with the star route and col.
lateral prosecutions, and publish it in
pamphlet form, in order that the public
may see how he has been traduced and ma
lgned The gossip and scandal which has
accrued from these cases is, in all probabili.
ty, destined to receive new impetus; first,
llcm the threatened personal disclosures of
of the tx Attorney General, aud, second,
from the results of the $4,000 damage suit
for SANDER which Mr.. Dickson instituted
against MIR. Brewster as soon as the jury in
his case brought in verdict of acquttal.

Do THE proposers of the schemes to col
lect the States revenue in the shape OF
county taxes to impose high rate OF taxa
ton and then deduct so much if paid in
money, and various others of the same sort,
realize the fact that the sole purpose and in
terest of all such schemes is to defraud
the coupon holders? If they do not, every
body else does. And what do they suppose
people who have any regard for the

tracts think of such propositions, of the
