Hartmann, the celebrated Nihilist, who
was one of those who attempted TO blow
up the train which carried the Car from
Moscow to st. Petersburg, and which
among Nihilists is now known as the "Mos-
cow attempt" lately gave his views res
pecting the purposes Of Russia in the
present trouble with England.
Hartmann insists that the Car is
heartily IN favor OF war because there are
a good many of his regiments which have
lately shown strong sympathy with Mill
ism. The Car thinks that a war would
have the effect of making these regiments
loyal to MIN, and would free their minds
of all NihIlistic ideas.
There is another reason. Hartmann
thinks, why the Gar desires a war. It's
that if ne should succeed in gaining adj
vantages over England it would so
strengthen him within his own empire
that he would be much more able to con-
tend with the causes of discomfort that
exist in all parts of Russia than he is at
present.
There is no doubt that the Russians
hate the English, and that they are sin
cerely anxious that the trouble with that
country shall result in war, but it is
not probable that the Nihilsts are con-
scious Of any feeling that is superior to
that which is the foundation OF their or
ganizatiOn. They do not care probably
whether Russia and England engage in "a
war or not, except IN so far as they think
they can make it advantageous to them
selves.
If, therefore, Russia and England should
engage in war the Nihilsts doubtless
would seize upon every opportunity to
push their schemes TO success. They
would have less to obstruct them then
than they have now, because the atten-
ton Of the government would be occupied
with the struggle with England. Instead.
therefore, OF assisting the Car to get rid
Of the troublesome Nihilists, war would.
if Hartmann is right, furnish the Nihilists
with the opportunities they want TO prose-
cute their plans to a successful issue.
England is uneasy with respect to Ire
land, and apprehends, probably, trouble
] from that source in the event of war, but
/ it is doubtful if she has as much reason
to apprehend danger from Irish dis
content as Russia has TO apprehend dan
ger from the Nihllists. The Nhlists are
much stronger now than they have been
at any previous time, and their determi-
nation TO carry out the purposes Of their
organization is as firm as 10 ever was.

State Temperance Convention.

A convention Of the Georgia Temperance
Association is hereby called to meet in the
city Of Atlanta at p O'Clock m. on Wednes-
day, June 10, to continue IN session two days.
The object of the convention is TO advance
the temperance and prohibition cause In
Georgia. A full representation IS greatly de-
sired, and each county, therefore, Will be al
lowed four times as many delegates as it has
representatives in the General Assembly; and
in addition to this each Woman's Christian
Temperance Union, and each Lodge of Good
Templars, aud each temperance organiza-
ton Of any nameor order, viii be allowed one
delegate for every 80 members, or fractional
part thereof.
All State officers of any Of these organiza-
tions will also be entitled to seats as delegates.
Reports viii be heard, first from the county,
union and lodge delegates by districts, and
then from each member of the Congressional
district committee.
Let the friends of temperance in the several
counties Of the State, whether organized or
not, call meetings 1--WE would suggest on the
first Tuesday in May or June) and appoint
their delegates. And let each lodge and
union appoint its delegates. An interesting
programme viii be arranged. Distinguished
speakers viii be invited to address the con-
ventlon on Wednesday and Thursday nights
during its session, and if we would achieve
grand results, let the friends of the cause
rally and send up full delegations, and let all
assist, as far as possible, in overthowing the
great evils Of intemperance, thereby working
for the cause Of humanity for God and home,
and native land. CIR PRINGLE

The New York Sun, in double-leaded
special from Washington, contains some
interesting but, doubtless, untounded
speculations relatiye to the contest for
Speaker of the next House.
1t is rather early to begin discussing
the Speakership question, but in the alb
sence Of exciting matters at Washington
it may be that the correspondents can
make it interesting.
The SUMS correspondent assumes that
Mr.. Randall will not be a candidate be-
cause he stands a better chance of
securing the nomination of his party for
President in 1883 by continuing to be a
prominent figure on the floor of the House.
The correspondent also SAYS that if Mr..
Manning should retire from the Treasury
Department and the place were offered to
Mr.. Randall the offer would be declined
for the same reason that a contest for the
Speakership will be declined.
The Sun correspondent is inclined to
be very kind to Mr.. Randall. 1t has been
perslstently asserted that Mr.. Randall
declined the Treasury portfolio, and il
that is the ease it is not at all probable
that it will ever again be offered to him
by President Cleveland. The chances
are, however, that it was never offered to
him, ana the probabilities are it will
never be. Mr. Randalrs course with
respect TO the tariff is
not in harmony with the
Presidents utterances on that subject.
Judging from what one OF them has said
and the other has done with respect TO
this very important matter they are very
wide apart with regard to it. 1t is not
reasonable to suppose, therefore, that the
President would ask Mr.. Randall to I'M
dertake the management Of so important
department of the government.
1t is well enough for Mr.. Randall to say
that he will not be a candidate tor Speaker.
He would not stand as good a chance for
success as he did at the last contest. He
is wise, therefore, in announcing his de-
termination 20 be satisfied with his place
on the floor. Mr.. Carlisle was a very
popular Speaker, and will have less diff
Guilty in securing reelection than he had
in getting elected two years ago.
The story that, If reelected, he will
not reappoint Mr.. Randall to the Chair.
manship Of the Committee on Appro-
priations, IN order TO Kill him OF as a
Presidential candidate by depriyinc him
Of a chance TO keep himself conspicuously
before the country, is hardly worth a
moments notice. MIR. Carlisle is not a
small man, ard no one has ever known
him 10 DE guilty Of doing a mean thing.
lfhe is reelected, he viii treat Mr.. Ran
dali with all the consideration TO which
bis prominence and his talents entitle
him rnder the circumstances. The propo-
sition 10 put forward New Yorker or a
Western man for Speaker against Mr..
Carlisle is an admission that Mr.. Randall
cannot beat him, and il Mr.. Randall can
not, there is no one who can. There is
nothing at present that is apparent which
seems 90 indicate that Mr.. Carlisle will
not be the next Speaker.
