Dispatches from America, reporting apprehensions of Communistic outbreaks, are attracting attention. The general opinion is that it will be worse for the Communists.

The Times on this subject concludes as follows It, as we will not anticipate, the United States is destined to go through a social crisis of this character, we shall doubtless hear again, as we used to hear fifteen years ago, a good deal about the evil effects of Democratic institutions. If, however, it is the weakness of institutions like these of America to give toleration or encouragement to all sorts of experiments in social and political organization, it is their strength to be able to survive them, to pr9fit by their success, and be little the worse for their failure. The fabric of American society is so strong, that it can sustain with little or no injury shocks which woulhe fatal to weaker and more effete coustitutions. In the United States freedom of discussion is the safety valve through which a great deal of superfluous political steam escapes. Americans have political sagacity enough to distinguish sharply between intemperate or even revolutionary speech and rebellions action.

They have unbounded toleration for the one, but have never shown any great patience for the other. We do not doubt that if they have to deal with any dangerous form of Communism, they will deal with it effectively. The social fabric of the United States is as capable of successfully resisting such attacks as that of any Btate in the world. SCHOUVALOFFS MOVEMENTS. St.

Fetebsiiurg, May 11. Count Schouvaloff will remain here long enough to obtain the Emperors decision. A time has been appointed when he Bhould be in London, and it is expected he will spend the time in Berlin on his retnrn journey, after submitting his views and receiving the Emperors reply, until the negotiations conducted by him shall assume an important character. GOSTSCHAKOFF is weaker, in consequence of a fresh attack of gout. A RUSSIAN OPINION.

The Agencc Bum formally denies that Russian troops have began to withdraw from positions about Constant nople. It says, however much the gov ernment may desire to recall the troops, they will only retire after the Turks have surrendered the fortresses, and the English fleet has left its present anchor age.
