PEACE.

Peace seems to reign supreme in
the Southern States, since the with
drawal dfthe't troops. The dire pre-
'dictiers eof 'thecarpet-baggers, con
corning the violence that would ensue
this move, have fallen. Some Of these
gentlemen, since they have been de
posed down there, are becoming seri-
ously afflicted with patriotism, and
besiege Washington and the Presi-
dent with = presentation of their
claims to public patronage. AS soon
as they are fully convinced that their
services are no longer needed, they
will fold their tents and quietly steal
samrtt into their native element-ob-
security.

Prosperous Farming.

The following suggestion to farm
ers, given by the linden, are SO appli-
cable to our people that we copy
them for the good of our farmers and
sincerely trust they may profit by
them: 1--WE feel sure that our farm
ers here. in Monongalia, like those of
other counties in the State, are anx-
ious to introduce system of prosper
GUS farming; that they. like other stur-
dy members of their craft, are anx-
fcas and DESTROYS to get all the money
they can as reward for their labor
and the use of their lands. This
they can easily do by exercising a
little more energy and industry. Let
them determine to produce. more
wheat, corn, oats, potatoes pork and
melons than they have been doing.
To say nothing about raising sur
plusage for foreign markets, if they
wesiid resolve to supply the demands
ofthelr horne markets-the people liv-
ing within the bounds of their own
ioanty-wath such articles as we
have enumerated, the money obtained
tof them, in the course Of a very few

years, would go far towards making
times comparatively easy with our
farmers-towards making them feel
that they were nearing an age Of pros
porous farming. The amount of mon
CIV sent abroad-most of it beyond the
limits of the State--for the articles
named, would nearly, if not quite, pay
all the taxes of the county. The
dealers in these articles, were they so
disposed, could readily vouch for the
truth of our assertions. Some persons,
who have given the matter serious con
sideration, have estimated that the
importation of wheat, corn, oats,pota-
toes, pork and melons cost the people
Of our county in the neighborhood of
100000 annually, sum sufficient
to make most of our farmers rich if it
could be kept at home and distribut-
ed among them. We cannot hope
to become a prosperous community
so long as the balance Of trade is
against us-so long as we consume
more than we produce. The indi-
vidual whose outlay, year by year, is
greater than his income must event
ually become bankrupt. So of a
community Will our farmer friends
heed our suggestions and thereby
learn what prosperous farming
means?'

One of our largest Building Asso-
Citations, in which several hundred
men Of small means had invested
their earnings, in preference to plac-
ing them in savings bank or other
depository, has just met with loss Of
some $4,000 through the dishonesty
of its officials. BY a defect in our
laws the defaultcrs cannot be punish
ished for their crime. This is one
of the evils any community is liable
to-if there be in the world such a
community outside of Washington
which has no vote or voice in making
its own laws. Dem.

THE FEWER SOLDIERS THE
BETTER.

Orders have been issued to stop re-
cruiting for the army, and other steps
have been taken to reduce the force to
$4,000 men according to the provis-
ions oftheact of1S76. Itmay be pos
-sible to reduce the force still further.
The principal use for regular soldiers
is to fight the Indians. When there
are no more Indians to fight, or when
the Indians shall become permanently
peaceful, the military occupation will
abe gone substantially in this country.
This result may further promoted by
the organizing of the red men them
selves into regiments of armed aborig
inal police-a scheme which is said to
he favored by the General, the Lieu
t-General, and other experienced
Officers. The protection of the Mexi-
can frontier is perhaps only present
necessity, while the manning of the
several federal forts calls for a small
number of troops.
For keeping alive the art of war an
army lis less needed even than it form
erly was. We have no employment
for standing army; and if we had,
four times our present force would be
but paltry Hrrny. Since we are not
to have standing army the fewer
regular soldiers wedo have the better.

NEW VERTLSE1IENTS
Il III e IS U NJ
FOR THE
Campaign Against National Fraud.

A President who was nor elected by the
people having been inaugurated at WASH
ington through processes o. fraud, we call
upon honest men Of all parties to rally to-
gether in a determined and persistent eff
forts for the correction of this great wrong
and for the punishment of the guilty to be
enforced through the ballot box.
For this outrage upon the right of self
government the Republican party and its
chosen managers are primarily response DE;
but the men who have taken Office til rough
such means and who are actually exereis-
such authority are scarcely less guilty than
they who conceived and executed this I'm
paralleled political swindle
The Fraudulent President and his advis-
ers having undertaken to forsake the ans
cient ways of the Republican party; and
having invited a Democrat and former
Rebel to occupy one of the most important
offices in the Cabinet, propose to debauch
the honest public sentiment of the South
by the bestowal OF offices and by an enor-
nous system of Government subsidies to
railroads and canals, hoping thus to cons
plete in corruption the work begun in
fraud. AT the same time with hypocrltic-
al pretences Of reforming the civil service
they hatter the vanity of Northern theorists
to the end that the great crime in which
this Administration is founded may be over
looked and condoned.
Against this complex scheme, as against
the conspirators with whom it origin ited
we call upon the people to commence inns
mca;ately campaign alike merciless and
pertinacous. We promise them that from
the beginning to the end THE SUN shall
rever be found laggard or timorous in this
holy crusade; and we invite new recruits
from every quarter to join in the movement.

we shall continue hereafter, as in the past,

my and justice in public affairs; and that
we shall still endeavor to supply all who

ABscoNDED.-Edward l.. Compton,
highly respected young man of
about 81 years of age, who has held
the position of teller In the First Ma
tional Bank of Fairmont for num-
Der of years to the satisfaction Of all
concerned, left here a little over three
weeks ago for the ostensible purpose
of visiting his father,now a resident
of Harrisonburg, Va, formerly of this
place, saying he would return on the
following Tuesday, May Sth, but he
has not yet turned up. The general
impression is that the young man has
either been foully dealt with, or alb
seconded. The circumstances con-
nected with his departure, however,
force one to the latter conclusion.
Before he left here he borrowed from
several of his friends small sums of
money, amounting to about 5000; al
so an overcoat and valise, and took
away with him nearly all of his own
personal effects. AS far as known
the bank has lost nothing. Mr.
Compton has long enjoyed the esteem
and confidence of the entire comfhuni-
ty, and we can scarcely believe, not
outstanding the facts connected
with his absence, that he is default
er.-Fdirmont index.
