e What remained OF the tAlllcY OF 6thto
Sovereignty has been completely exploded by
tho suspension Of business md tho sceuca Of
disorder aud violence that lavo spread
throughout tho country. The inoficioncy
md wcaknoss Of State Governments iu strug-
cling against q concerted uprising Of tho
mol classes have been ubunlnntly demon
strated. Tho very first to appeal for tho iu-
terycntion and protection Of tho General
Government wore Two Democratic Governors

md sovereignty. Other Governors waited
till tho weakness Of tho local organizations
became more evident. Some Of them, like
the Indiana Dutternut, hold aloot while their
State 1aws arc being tranpled under foot,
md their citizens intimidated and
ruincd. But everywhere like feeling
Of security and hope is found among
the people. They hnvo filth In tho strength
OF tho National Government, aud In its abil-
ity to deal with omeutoa or Instructions Of
any kind. This confidence aud respect arc
felt by ali classes Of law-and-osdor people,
and It is feared by the criminal and lawluss
classes.

It Ia evident now, oven to alarmista, that
tho strength Of the insurrection is broken.
Yesterdays operations demonstrated TINT
Chicago has the forco md tho will to pre-
servo order and maintain the law. That tho
effort In that beLalf shonld involvo some
bloodshcd and scores Of cracked skulls is not
unnatural. Tho simple fant that blood was
shed and skulls wero crnokol provos tho
determination OF tho authorities to save tho
city from tho sorrow mud horror OF general
uprising.
Since It's Inauguration the so-called riot
has boon confined to sma]1 locality. Little
bands Of small boys havo paraded the strcets
In various sections Of tho town, but excel
lent gcncra]ship has limited tho efforts Of
the mob proper to, small aud not very i'm
rortant business district, and there the az
mics of roughs havo been promptly mot and
~ promptly dispersed. Where tho police
wore numerically insufficient troops hayo been
established. Wherever dangerous-look!ng
crowd assembled, 1t has been broken
end routed. The necessity for yolley
uoyer once aroso. A howitzer was on tho
scene, aud steady men behind it, but 1t was
not In demand. Tho police, supported by
the presence OF tho military and aiaod by a
handful OF volunteer cavalry, wora efficient
at al! .imos for any purpose. Tho whole riot
was but series Of pusrile charges by a
variety Of timia mobs, easilY met and readily
suppressed by the quick though temperate
action Of small but determined force.
The necessity for shedding ono drop OF
blood Ia to be regretted. 70 the men who
spilled 1t, the pEatso Of Chicago's citizens
Ia due. Tcmperiug every action with
,noroy, they enforced quiet and prevented thu
spread OF lawleSs eluinont that would have
become dangerous tho moment it aehiovei
the alightest SUCCESS. Combining vigorous
action with consideration for life aud limb,
they moderated their endeRvors to the
actual necessities Of tho situation, and
secured peace while averting ~ far ~
possible the terross Of war.

Though thoso may be unimportaut out

not intend to nbdicate md hnn1 over tho
Government 10 my mob or other body Of
irresponsible persons. II any such wild OK
pactntion Inns existed, tits time that It should
be abandoned. The autldenness Of tho
strike, and It's witls extent, was n surprise.
Tho general tnnss Of tho people sympathized
with the dcn'aud for increased wages, and,
wherever those wagca wero below the orsli-
uary SUM needed to sustain life for tho work
men aul their families, the great mass Of tho
people were prepared 10 give tho full weight
OF their influence in obtaining for these
workmen concession OF honest Irving
wnges. But tho strikc. being Of itself
rotncdy outside Of tho law, was taken as
a license and MI invitation by the whole
lavlcss md criminal population to resort
to violence md blootlshe.l, to robbery and
spoliation. This class, which ohtnumbcra
tho railroad men, havo taken command Of
the strike, md hnye assumed control OF the
tntirs rnilroal commerce Of the United
States. Against tho suspension Of rail-
road traffic four-fittllB Of the American people
protest, and to the indefinite continuance Of
that suspension they will not submit. That
traffic will have to bc resumed, If not by tile
consent Of the railroad men. then without it.
In the meantime the existence Of society
demands that this temporary supremacy Of
tho mob shall he destroyed. Common snfety
depends on social order. No mechanic or
professional mau, no 1aboror or merchant, no
railroad officer or workman In any capacity
who earns living by honest labor, and who
has family or kindred, can hope to
con,roto, in tho absence OF law, with the
criminal class, or the Idle, worthless, and
tlissolute. There IL nothing In common,
either of tasta or interest, between this mob
a,,d tho mon who work 10 laboriouaty upon
tho railways, and yet the mob, the Comniun-
lists who oppose all labor, havo takou possess

it Is tluo to the fact TINT tho criminal class,

WHATARE YOU DOING?

This question we address to the officers of the County Immigration Society. If the object for which this Society was intended is ever accom- plished there must be some work done. As well had the society never been formed as to just have Society in name only. Without some active and well directed exertions to ac- complish the purposes for which these Societies were intended, they are useless. As yet nothing has been done, It is not because we have not good officers at the head of the County Society, for all the off cers including the township vice presidents are our very best men What then is the trouble?
 We suppose that the excuse is that every body has been too busy to be come interested. It is true our far mers have been too busy to devote much time to it, but when crops arc laid by and harvest is over we hope the county officers will put forth
The Russellville Democrat., 1877-05-31

some strenuous efforts. During Ju- ly and August the farmers will not be quite so busy, and then let the matter be agitated. Again; it strikes us that there might be some interest awakened in the matter II some of the officers of the association would attend the public gatherings and say something to the people in behalf of the society. Next Monday Col. Allen, Past Master of the Miss. ouri Grange, addresses the citizens of this place. Then would be an an opportune time for some of the Immigration Society to do some work. A membership of four or five hundred should be secured in oui county and a fund oftwo orthree hun drcd dollars from iniatiation fees raised for the publication and dis. tribution of printed matter in the 
 interests of Pope county. Much good can be done, and we hope to see proper effort made. Every good citizen which we can induce to come to our county and settle Is said to be worth several hundred dollars Our all depends upon the settlement of our vast area of unimproved lands with sturdy, honest people. If we can secure a population of twenty five thousand good citizens we will have by the year 1885, a county SC far in advance of what it now IS that the most sanguine will be astonished

 often becomes a scientific swearer, or an accomplished loafer, and soon spells good farmers son to make Q town flop.
 We sincerely wish that we could induce the youth of the country to study and practice agriculture, or learn some useful trade; the profes- sions ate stocked new, and upon a careful consideration and investiga- tion it will be seen that but little hope of eminence is presented in any of them, while the agricultural and mechanical sciences are rapidly ad- vancing and securing to those who properly understand them abundant harvests of prosperity.

LET THE GRAND JURY LOOK
 AFTER THEM.

A thing which is not only wrong and disgraceful in itself, but which also greatly initiates against the good name and prosperity of the town of Dover IS becoming of much too frequent occurrence at that place. We allude to the stonlng of persons after night--an occurrence which takes place at almost every term of Circuit Court. It is perfect out rage that any man who has business at Dover cannot visit that town and remain over night without the fear of being saluted with a shower of stones if he steps out of his board ing house at night. The good citi- zens of Dover should organize se- cret police and catch the scamps who do it, and after they catch them they should receive severe punishment Ii will hardly do to say that It is just done for amusement by misehievous boys, for, while it may be "fun for the boys, it is death to the frogs" " Boys who engage in this kind of sport, may consider it fun after they become men to waylay and rob the unwary traveller. Let the Grand Ju- ry look after this matter, for ii it is not going to be stopped somehow ol other, many men will be deterred by fear from stopping over night at the county seat.
