Theno aro the darkest da) that llu-ssla has seen since tho trying and troubled months that followed the accession of the present Czar thirteen years nco. Since tho Russian Kastsr the arrests for political offenses hae exceeded 2,000. Tho first arrests ere made in connection with the discoery of a reputed plot to kill the Czar durinjr the coining military maneuvers at Smolensk, and numbered only a fow score, but tho alarm and excitement they inspired Krew with each fresh arrest, until in less than a fortnisht another reign of the Whito Terror was fairly Inaugurated. At the priseut moment tho government of the empiro is practically Intrusted to two soldiers, Tchervin and WorcnzofT, tho one a fitting successor to tho late Gen. Grosser, tho other a coaro and brutal tyrant of the lodle-beu and Gourko tjpe, and all its energies aro on an lcnne attempt to uneartn aud imprison eery tuslnn suspected of entertaining liberal and proKreshe opinions.

Thearre-tsof the last few wteks havo not been confined to trio student class, from whoe ranks tho nihilists havo from the first in the main been recruited, but nae been far-reaching in their scope. Tbeyhaveex-leuded toall parts of the oinpire.and have included ofilci.r of the nay and nrmv, hlgn goernment officials, college professors, aud distinguished authors and journalists. Ko cl.iss has thus far escaped. Hundreds of oung people belonging to the highest and noblest families lMve been nrresied and imprisoned, and still the brutal and ruthless work goes on unchecked. Here in bt.

Petersburg tho terror and grief of the populao Are unier-al, all lie in a state of fearful uspene, not know ing whoso turn will come next. At the froutlerthe greatest vigilance is practiced, and it is now ns diflkult to get into liuseia as it Is in ordinary times to get out. In brief, the Russian autocracy is once more engaged in a ruthless and rtleutles effort to crush out all opposition to its continuance, and thu sorrow, terror, and bitterness it has in consequence evoked show, outside of the ofUeial clashes, how isolated and friendless it really it and how few mourners it will have when its end comes, as cume it must in time. Of course, in the present outburst the third section, or eeret police, has plnjed and is plaing its sinister iole us of old. When two jears ago Gen.

Gresser, tho dreaded chief of tho third section, died under circumstances which excited suspicious of his hating fallen a victim to tho poisoner art. tlm belief was general that the power of the secret police had been crippled for many jears to come. Greaser was able, so astute, so crafty, f-o merciless, anil so perfectly familiar with the llusItn underworld, th it it was thought at the time that it would be almost lull to 11 ml a worth) suictssorfor him, but such a man has tjeen round, and during the I tst two months the seertt joli.u has been as at the and effective ns it ever was under Gresser or the litter famous redeeeor. Messentoff. In all the principal citie midnight visits to peaceful hou-eholaers hao mounted into tho hundreds and arrets hae been made b) tho score on jiretexts that would bo counted of the llimi-iest nature evn in Russia.

Xor has the acllvit) of the police paust at the arrest of innoetnt people. It is whispered that many a prisoner has been confined in total darkness In a rat-haunted cell, and in otue instances when this torture has failed to extort a eonfession of wrong doing that mot devilish of all devices, tho electrie shock, has ibein reported to. YAor-a still. Indignities that cannot bo described in print have been heaijed on helpless women pri-oners. and still the malevolent work goes on without a sign of ees-jtion.

No one is sure for a day of bis ufe or Iioeny, or tnat to-morrow ho will not be torn from his lamlly and frimds and hurried away to rlson. Nightl) th bnek knret is uf the police rattle through the silent streets of the lapital, sending terror to the stoutest hearts.

The jinnee treturntd secretly to llus-ii some months ago, ana soon after the pri nt terror I roke out was arrested at Odessa, where, with the h-lpot a borrowed p.isport, nc was hung under an assumed name He has long been one of thu most remarkable rren connected with he reiolution iry movement. He belongs to the highest IIussIhu aristocracy, his family being descended from tho anciunt roy.il house of Ho acquitted hia-self with distinction at the College of Tnges, to which only sons of members of the court are admitted, and fo.lowinu 1S61 spent seier.il years iu hiberia nnu too last, in soientillc researches.

Upon his return to fct. Petersburg he was received with great distinction at court, serving for a time ns chamberlain to the Empress. In 1872 he Mslted Western Europe anil became a social reformer of tho most advanced t)pe. licturnlng to bt. Petersburg he became an nctlo worker in the reolutionary ranks, drew up tho programme of the party and under the name of Borodin delivered lectures on socialism to secret gatherings of workingmen.

A workman, who for a small bribe consented to play the spy, betra)ed him to the police and he was arrested nnd confined In tho fortress of Sts. Peter and Taul.

Th fortress of St 4. refer and Paul.to which I have alread) referred, and in which hundreds of upects aro now confined awaiting trial, stands on an island In the river Neva, aod i synonymous in the P.ustian mind witti all that is dark, cruel and blpody. The walls of the cells of tho lroubtskoI redoubt, the portion of tbo prison In which political offenders, real aud alleged, are confined, are four feet thick and communication between inmates is almost imposs.ble. A guard, who a short time ago wa discovered acting as a means of communication between pr.oners, was promptly sentenced todintb. Only tho officer commanding the bastion, and who has held the place for twenty years, is allowed to confer with the prisoners, and their cells are searched three times dail).

The slightest breach of discipline is severely punished and the dark cell and the 1 nout aro constantly called into use. Inmates are alwa)S kept in Ignorance of the fato in store for them. Thev are not allowed to emplo) counsel; their offenses are neier referred to by their guardians, aud when they are tnkea te'ore the secret court-martial for examination the questions asked them gl no clew to ti eir own fate or that of the-r frieuds or associates.

And what boeomes of the unfortunate inmate of the Troubetskol redoubt sentenced to bit eriau exile On nail hill to the east of tl city of Moscow, the samo on which the armies of Xapoleou encamped, stands a prison dark, grim), and time-worn, famil.arly known as "the corral of the eilles." Trom this old prison begin" the journey to Siberia. As soon as man or woman is condemned to exile he or she is sent to Moscow under a strong guard aud conllned in the "corral" until the next pirt) sets out. Men and women neavily ironed ou tLeir way to the pnon are alwa)s a familiar spectacle in the streets of the ancient capital, but during the last few weeks their number has been swelling with leaps nnd bouuds, and no ono knows when the melaachol) procession will again assume its normal proportions. Ordin irily during the summer months a party of exiles is dispatched eiery Sunday, but at pres-nt a new batch sets out every Fecoml or third day.

Each party numbers several hundred souls, and its members are taken from the prison in carriages closely guarded by mounted Cossacks. Just before dejarture they are permitted to gather In a larg room and bid their friends a hurried farevv 11, but 'O often this privilege is only a hoiio'v a oekerv. The prisoner, arrested without notice, is been tried and condemned in secret, ind oniv by chinee are Lis friends informed of the fate that ha3 overtaken him. To add to the mockery of which I have spoken monks are present to offer prayers for the exiles and exhort them to turn their minds to spiritual aff ilrs and away from wrong doing to their august master. To those who have witnessed a departure of the scene is full of pathos and sadness.

Some of the prisoners make light of their lot, and jest with the onlookers, nut the majority are silent and apathetic, crushed by a eorrow too deep for tears. I have witnessed the departure of one of these exile parties, and the id, wan, pitiful faces that appealed to me Irom the carnage windows will haunt me to mvd) ing day. It requires da) s' constant dm ing to reaeh tho frontier. Often a nartr is dumped out and under guard made to wait the remainder of the w.n. And this is the fato to which the best thought and blood of Itussia nro now being condemned.

It is the White Terror come again, but blinder, bloodier, and more cruel than ever. But sad and bitter as isthe lot of theodncated nnd higher classes, sadder still is that of the liussi.tn peasnutry, famine-stricken, tollworn, squalid, ignorant and oppressed. Twenty jearsagothe Mir, or village commune, was the pride of all liberal minded Russians, but since 1S39 most of its powers have, by successive imperial ukases, been transferred to officials known ns rural chiefs, appointed by the minister at tho interior, and selected from the local nobility. These changes hnyu made the peasants moro than ever the helpless tIc-tlms of the autocracy. To secure the money needed to meet the demands of the Imperial tax collector the neae-nnt is constantly forced to mortgage hl3 crops in advance, and the rate of interest charged for sueh loans if often 200 per cent.

To repay small loao, swollen by monstrous usury Into a large sum, many a peasant is compelled to toll for years in the service of the money lender.

The Czar is wrctllng blindly with his fate; at the same time his sub.e-ts are cautiously repeating the sinister prophecy. long current in Ru.oia, that be nnd his sons are doomed to quick coming death, and that at no distant day the imperial crown will bo worn by his brother ladimlr.

No one seems to know how or where this prophecy had its birth, but certain it is thtt it has gained deep hold on the rtup9tan people, and at the present mo ment lends a singular intrest to me personality of the mil to whom it refers. The Grand Duke Ma jlmir is the oldest and ablest brother of the Czar. A soldier by profession, he is also a man of culture and refined tastes. Ho posseses uncommon energy aDd force of character, delights iu tho society of men of intellect and culture, and accommodates himself realily to erv situation in which he may happen to fin 1 himself. He is credited with literal nnd opinions, and it Is said that had the Crir taken the Grand Duko's alvieo he would never bae entered upon tho macliosary course that has characterized his it would have prosecuted the reform their father was projecting at the time of his death.

Some of the men who accept force as tho readiest and surest method by which to right their wrongs, believe that the shortest, most effective road to F.usian emancipation lies through a series of fatalities that will bring Vladimir to the throne, and students of Ilus-slanovenU would do well to keep this condition carefully in mind during tho next few months.
