I ' "Uneasy lies the head that wears a crown." V This is probably the fifth attempt that has been made to destroy him. ; The Providence that shielded him so long from secret foes left him to his fate. He was born in 1818, and was in his 63rd year. He was the son of the Czar Nicholas, and succeeded Mm in. 1855. When he i ascended the throne the war with France, England,;! Turkey and Sardinia Was stiu pro gressing.. He : was forced a few months later to make peace. "After this hedevoted himself closely to the administration of public affairs. He had but one war of importance that with Turkey a few years ago and this he prosecuted to a successful end. At present his kingdom is engaged in war with the Turcomans. Emperor Alexander ". was beyond doubt the mildest ruler that Russia has ever had. His humanity was remarkable for aRomonoff potentate. One of the first acts of his reign was to liberate many thousands of serfs. From time to time this policy of emancipation has been going on, and hundreds of thousands have been liberated from bondage. The truth is, that tinder Alexander's compara tively moderate rule vast social and political: changes have taken place. If y?a would understand this, read Theodore Schuyler's life of Peter the Great, then turn to a sketch jof the reign of Nicholas, father of Alexander II., and then read Wallace's two very instructive ;. volumes upon the condition of Rus sia nowj and you will see how radi cal, how- very important the changes, and what a great advance there has j been in giving the people better laws, more freedom, more education, more comfort more privileges. When the assassins destroyed the Emperor Alexander they sent to his bloody grave the most beneficent and hu mane ruler that ever sat upon the throne of Russia. 1 - No one can expect the Russia of to-day to be as free and liberal as a constitutional monarchy. The only way Lo estimate Alexander's cha racter as a ruler is not to compare him with Victoria or William IV., of Eng land, but with bis ancestors with his father or pis grandfather, Alexander I., or with the rulers of an earlier time. The success of the conspira tors will embolden others, and it will send a thrill of horror through out Euro )e. The crowned-heads will tremble on : their h roues, and bad, desperate men may seek the lives of other rulers. It need surprise no one to hear that thesuccessor of Alexander jmeets a similar fate, or that the royal family of Russia is de stroyed. There is a large body of men who are sworn to secrecy and are pledged to make war upon those they regard as the oppressors of the people. Nihilists by prof ession be lieving in nothing and fearing neither pod nor man, they are a menace to all potentates and even to the well being of society. '"'.'.' j! Alexander, was a, nephew of Em peror William of .Germany, his mo ther being the sister of that monarch. His sob Nicholas succeeds as Alexan' der IIL The reader will find particu lars of the murder in onr telegraphic reports. j j The Legislature has adjourned, - and when the balance sheet is struck whether the good or the bad will pre ponderate remains to be investigated. Jtt has done some things worthy of 'commendation surely; it has done some things tot at all desirable or de serving of praise; it neglected to do s'ome things that ought to have been done, and it should be commended specially for refusing to do some very unwise things that silly demagogues desired to have done.- We would j like to see a fair, candid, full review , of all of its main legislation of a' general character. Who ' will audit lthe account knd strike the balance ? - To cough and, at the same time be enter taining is Impossible. Dr. Bull's Cough Syrup will reach your case.

Simp son, white,.of Davie county, )s guil ty or not. His'' excuse 'may 1 hold water, but it looks a little bit thin thus far. ' ; The people are not suffi ciently particular as to Whom; they elect to make laws for them.! Men are not chosen always beoajose jthey are honorable or capable,' but some times because they are serviceable and pliable. I. The old rule was the right rule "Is he honest? is he oa-: pable?" It will be good for the peo ple when they return to that stand ard. 1 'L There have been six attempts upon the Czar's life, . and-not five, as we stated yesterday . The'Was April htf 1866, wbeo T wcrfanan named - Dimitn Karakozoff fired' at him as he was enterlng'his carriage. The' Czar was saved by a peasant, who was ennobled -for his conduct.' On June 6, 1867, a Pole fired into his carriage whilst be . was at the Paris Exposition. His name was Berezowski. The third attempt was April 1 4, 1879. He was taking" his customary walk, when he was fired at four times by an. assassin named o loveiff, who was afterwards executed. On December 1, 1879, rfear Moscow, an attempt was made to blow up the imperial ' train. The fifth attempt was on February 17, 1880, wheoan effort to blow up the Winter : Palace took olace. The last and sixth has just occurred with fatal results. The Legislature did not accomplish much during its first thirty, days. But after it got its hand in it rushed bills through in a hurry, and bad time to change Its mind as often asj a weather vane. The News- Observer says: . . '.. , : j ' "Eleven hundred and twenty bills were enrolled on the calendar of the House and nine hundred on the calendar of the Seri ate. Some of these appear in both-bouses, and there waa probably only about fifteen hundred Introduced. - . "There were several hundred resolutions introduced. More than 500 bills and reso lutions were passed. All this was done in sixty days, aud it is more work than was formely gotten through with in a five months' session. To consider and pass judgment upon 1,500 bills in 60 days makes a daily average of twenty-five, and of these the. Legislature passed an average of ten and rejected about fifteen a day." j' There must have been in such a hurry a great deal of very imperfect and unsatisfactory legislation. . The, News-Observer says the members did not draw pay for its last week. Does it speak by the card? i f ; The Radical papers are delighted with Mahone. They say he resisted "the lash of the si aye driver." This is all very nice, as he proved a traitor to the Democrats. But reverse the picture if you please. Suppose Conk ling or some other Stalwart had be trayed the Republicans and voted with the Democrats, is there a soli tary Radical editor that Would' not have ! laid on ",the lash n and de nounced him with all possible severi ty? And is therea man of sense who would not say well done ? v No man has a right to betray great trusts, be he elected as a : Democrat or a Re publican. Why, there is - even sup posed, honesty among thieves. We judge from a paragraph in the Richmond Dispatch's , Washington letter there is a prospect of other so called Virginia Democrats playing the part of Mahone. The correspon dent writes:: : -- : ' KTbeard it stated positively tbnit-:Mr. Garfield has been informed that if Messrs. Jorge o sen and Dezendorf desert the Ren .publicans in the organization : of thVHonse that Messrs. Fulkerson and Paul can be re lied on to supply their places. Mr. Riddle berger has arrived." ; -i . . . A few patriotic citizens were hot willing that the important battle of Guilford : Court House should be ig nored altogether. So a centennial celebration on a small scale was ex temporized and much speech making was indulged.'-.' Wet are pleased to know that all State pride of the right kind has not expired with, the 'ad journment of the ') Legislature that would provide nothing towards home celebrations. l:::''yt V"' Zl: We do not pretend to understand how it is the Democrats in the Senec find themselves suddenly - in the mi nority. All along- the papers have' given the list of Senators that made it a tie between:; the parties leaving, out Davis ; and Mahone.' Now that Davis votes with the Democrats and Mahone with the Republicans We do not see yet why this should give tha organization to the latter, but so it is. -'4 uteliigeace was received Here on Sunday that Mr. J.
