IN DISMAL RUSSIA.
More Testimony to Prove the Charges Laid
Against the Cars Land.

More Testimony to Prove the Charges Laid
Against the Cars Land.
Everything has stood still under the
present car; the bribery and corruption
of the officials, the ignorance of the
peasants, the interference with all private
liberty, continue as under Peter the
Great. Men are sent off by hundreds to
Siberia, while it is never known by whom
they were denounced, or what are the
crimes imputed to them. The petty in
references in common life are almost in
credible; no man can even alter the front
of his house in st. Petersburg without
special permission from the car. For
eign newspapers are received with broad
splotches of printing ink over any pas
sages objected to by the censorship,
which is stricter than ever and whose
follies go on as of old A machine was
described as knowing freely" the dan
gerous word was scratched out THERE
volutions" of wheel were considered
as suggesting wrong ideas
The theory of personal government is
carried out to its utmost extent; each
minister is supposed to communicate d.
rectly with the czar, and to take orders
from him alone, SO that there can be no
concert between them, and nothing like
what we call cabinet. In practice,
however, this cannot possibly be carried
out, and the majority of the affairs of
the enormous empire must necessarily
be settled without the cognizance of a
chief who cannot be ubiquitous or ON
niscient, and by number of irresponsi-
bic petty officials with enormous power
of doing evil
The peasants still conceive that the
car can do no wrong, and believe in
him as in god; this forms, indeed, one
of the chief points in their religion,
which consists in prostration, genuhex-
ions, and crossings during service con-
Quoted in old Slavonic, which is Il dead
language both to priests and people, in the
keeping of fasts and festivals during 1855
days in the year, and in fetch wor-
ship of the holy icons Tor images as de-
grading as any to be found in Central
Africa. There is an utter divorce among
the peasants between the ideas of mo-
rality and religion. In the upper class,
as described by Count Tolstoi, it is the
fashion to profess complete unbelief in
everything, and Stepniak glories in the
nihilism of the middle classes as includ-
ing every subject: "We are more ad-
vanced than other nations, as we have
disposed of religion, the next world, and
all such rubbish" The small remains of
free institutions still left in the local
boards of the country have been lately
attacked by the car; everything, in
fact, instead of advancing, is retrograd.

A Land Having No Jail.

The governor of Heligoland is mon
arch of all he surveys, albeit what he
surveys is not very much; but there is
one matter in which he cannot but feel
his inability to claim kindred with other
rulers of men. In brief, as he almost
plaintively observes, there is no regular
Jail in Heligoland. A "few cells" there
are, it is true, in which "disorderly per-
sons are occasionally confined" When
Heligoland has the misfortune to pro-
duce a real determined criminal no
doubt it will be equal to the occasion,
but at present serious crime upon this
tight little island under British rule APP
pears to be practically unknown, the
total of offenses against the person or
property in the entire community vary
ing from year to year from three or four
to none at all.-London Daily News,

THE MARTINSBURG HERAL
FOR THE HERALD.

ED. HERALD.-Dedr Sir We
noticed in your last issue small ar
ticle concerning ourselves, from a
very weak-minded merchant, and
hereby beg space for reply. DEAR
MERCHANT.-We are very sorry our
business Injuries yours, but neyerthe-
less we have the privilege to carry
what we please when we pay license,
which we do. Why do you object to
US, because you keep half-penny
shop that contains no more goods
than a peddler's pack does. Ifyou
were leading merchant. you would
not speak as you do, you would be
ashamed to let the public know thata
few peddIers could hurt your business,
but as you only sell enough goods to
have the name of being merchant,
you would like to drive us peddlers
out, so you would have a better
chance; we do not object to merchants
but would like to get rid ofsuch catch
penny-shops as yours; we term them
an offense to the public. 1t is anus
ing to think that shopkeeper as you
are, would ask the merchants to pro-
tect your business, when they know
you have none to protect. We ask no
protection of any one except the law
of this great free country, that gives
us all our privileges. We consider
ourselves as good citizens as any other
class of people, and think we are able
to attend to our own affairs the Ii
cense we pay is an amount fixed by
the legislature of the State, and will
be required to pay no more until you
get control of the legislature which
we are happy to say will never be. If
you were not so fond of the shade,
and would take up pack of rubbish
as you call it, and work at it in earn
est as we do, you would not object to
peddlers instead of this you will lay
in the shade and await the public to
call, and censure us because we sue
coed. Now, my friend, just mind
your business and we will do the
same. Ifyou worry too much about
such affairs, you might get the double
and die from the eff
fects. A PEDDLER.

Suits have been entered in the adj

Suits have been entered in the adj
joining counties of Franklin and
Adams, Pa, against the Western
Maryland railroad company. The
matter to be settled is the right of the
western extension of the Western
Maryland railroad company to occupy
and nse without compensation the
entertainments and trucks of the old
Tape Worm (Thaddeus Stevens
road, made fifty years ago by the
commonwealth of Pennsylvania and
then abandoned. The right is denied
by the land owners, and asserted by
the company as successors to all the
rights of the commonwealth. AS the
question is new and close, affecting
other interests besides those directly
involved, the course of these suits
will be watched with great interest.
