DISTRESS In RUSSIA.
Tho Revenues of the Government Ran
idly Decreasing.


LONDON, Dec. se.-lSpcci all-The
Ielegraph's correspondent at St. Pc
tersourg says that there has been an
enormous falling off in tho government
revenues from the famine-stricken prov-
lnces. In the province of Voronezu
alone the deficit for September was
100000 roubles; for October it was 500.
ooo rouo!es, and for November it was
one million. 1t is calculated that by
the end of December the arrears VIII,
reach five million roubles.
Similar conditions prevail in the
other provinces affected by the famine
and the prospects are just as gloomy.
The passport, labor and other restrict
ing laws have been removed so as to en-
able the peasants to emigrate
reports OF merciless repression OF
outlawry arc continually being received
The civil authorities do not depend
upon themselves alone to put down
brigandage and other lawless acts, bu,
upon the merest protext they summon
the military, evidently with the inten
ton of overawing the people. Three
men who were convicted of the robbery
OF Simbeersk died under the lash oil
knout. Another who had stolen few
turnips was sentenced to Imprisonment
for life.
Tho Telegraph's correspondent says
that the distress has not touched the
hearts of the rich merchants of ST.
Petersburg, and thcy refuse to sub
scribe for tho relief of their suffering
countrymen. Collection boxes which
had been placed about the corn OK
change were found when removed to be
filled with bits of tin and pieces of
paper.

Mr.. Withrow,in the house, had n reso-

otherwise on tho propriety of assessing
at the true value largo tracts of land
held by syndicates or individuals, in
stead of assessing as mountain lands at
ten cents to two dollars an aero as now.
Many of these tracts arc really very
valuable, and cannot be purchased at
any price. While these mineral lands
go almost free from taxation, farm
lands in the Same section arc assessed
at from six to sixteen dollars an acre.

L. Jewell. aged sixty years, died here
OF heart diseas" this N orning. He was

benevolence. He was with Walker in
his Nicaraguan expedition in 1865. Mr..
Jewell was badly wounded in the Cen

that looks to any increase of expense.
What is needed for tho city of Roam
oke is q system Of judicial procedure
by which men who are compelled to
come into court can reach a speedy con-
clusion. he did not believe tn at this
could be- accomplished by the establish
mont of a seperatc judiciary system,
even If they hold four or six terms q
year. He could see no constitutional
obstacles to the establishment of
separate court in the city of Roanoke.
This city does not want two courts Of
concurrent or coordinate jurisdiction,
but what is wanted is q separate court
which shall relieve the present court of
large proportion of the work which
now comes before it.
Mr.. w. o. Hardaway favored the es-
Enlistment of a separte court, and was
confident that there was nothing in the
constitution prohibiting it. He read q
letter from Capt. w. w. Berkely, who
expressed his views as follows:
."lf we could get another court with
concurrent jurisdiction with Judge
Robertson's, or could get four terms of
our ciccuit court held in this city,
terms not to conflict with the issue
terms of Judge Robertson, to be held
by our circuit Judge on an increased
salary. or could get new circuit
formed, say of Roanoke city, Roanoke
and Montgomery counties, it SCENE to
me it would be better than attempting
an uncertain measure, to wit: The es-
tablishing Of another court"
Mr.. Lucien III. Cooke said that his
view of the matter was for the estab-
lishment of circuit court. He did not
think the proposed city court would re-
lieve tho condition Of affairs atall.
Colonel Penn thought the legislature
would make new circuit If the matter
was presented to it in the proper light.
Mr.. G. w. Crumpecker thought that
the constitution has already provid ed
all the courts the State of Virginia is
entitled to and he did not think the
legislature could go beyond the con-
stitution, and create a new court. He
favored an additional circuit.
MIR. Watts stated that he would like
to have vote on the question and upon
the secretary calling the roll ten gentle
men voted in favor of a criminal court
and seven for circuit court

"Land Bill Allen and tho Working
men,.
The action OF the Ohio Valley Trades
Assembly, yesterday, in contributing
through the INrELLIGENcER S25 for tho
relief OF Gland Bilr' Allen, and in
recommending similar action on tho
part OF the local unions, was n prompt
response to the appeal for aid for the
aged and poverty-strickcn philanthropy
list published in this newspaper Friday
morning. 1t was praise-worthy net
and the start OF movement which will
doubtless grow and take such shape as
10 insure speedy relief for the man to
whom the workiEgmen and women OF
America owe so much.
For taking this step SO promptly after
the matter was brought to its attention
the Trades Assembly deserves great
credit, and it is hoped that tho action
will inspire other organizations, as we'll
rs individuals, 10 do likewise. The cause
is one OF the noblest ever undertaken
and is in the interest OF humanity.
1t is to the shame and disgrace OF the
American people that "Bill' Allen, the
author OF tho national homestead law,
which has proven such boon to
the waceWorkers OF this country,
should now be spending his declining
years in a county alms-house; it should
bring to tho face Of every citizen blush
OF shame to know that the man who
spent almost u Lifetime and n fortune
in advocating the law which gives to
every actual settler 100 acres OF land
has been left to die a pauper. In all
tho history OF this country there is no
moro dissracoful instance OF ingratitude
