COMMUNISM At THE SOUTHWEST.

liter various rumors of lawlessness in Mis-
sssippi, and especially in Amit6, Pike, and
other southwestern counties thereof, We have
now the official report of the special commit
tee of the Legislature on the subject; and it
is rather curious. After setting forth the null
ttude of threatening letters sent to obnoxious
people-that is, to people who mind their own
business-and the fagelatlon, and even muir
der, of some unolfending citizens, with the
burning of their houses, the committee con-
cudos that all this is owing "to the general
financial depression Of the country" which,
in Mississippi, has created "a spirit of agran-
"anism." They have, through bad manage
ment, seen their property pass away from
them, and the loss has given rise, natur-

POLITICAL NOTES.
every directio

Tho m,izzlcs of tho iniaionists seem to be secure
for this Congress.
Nobody but the demagogue is asking for the re-
peal of the Resumption Act
When Congress gets whack at that tariff bill,
Mr.. Wood will hold corner i'll the waste paper
market.
Tho best way to detect counterfeits the 9O-cent
dollar is to look for well executed coin. If one is
found, it may be set down at once as spurious.
The Democratic House is trying to shield its bogus
reforms by putting false label the tell-tale de-
ticiency bills Their pure souls do SO abomnate

There seems to be lull in the talk that If Whtta-
ker is a bad man he is good enough to sit in judy
ment on so bad man as Anderson. Even Lousi-
ana court is able TO see that q prisoners badness
doesn't cut him of from a fair trial.
More trouble for Toledo! The Senate Committee
will report against the appointment of Mr.. Reed.
and the question must be decided by the Senate.
The graveyard petitions are already on the way,

city convention was held in Cleveland day or two
ago. which resulted in rupture and second con-
vention. The leaders of the party were most vehe-
ment in their denunciations of Democrats and Re-
publicans declaring that no members of either of
those parties could enter the fold and also that
no admittance would be granted to "bOndholders
and bulliOnsts." Tho asscmblage was small and
impressive only in noise.
Mr.. Cox was squelched again on Wednesday. He
attempted to make little cheap capital as a
demagogue by protesting great friendship for the
laboripg man, but Mcssrs. Hewitt and Foster OK
posed tho humbug without mercy. Instead of hay
ing urged the Appropriation Committee to pay off
tho laboring men, as he' claimed, Mr.. Foster de-
clared that Cox had never been before tho commit
tee at ALL while Mr. Chittenden did appear, and sub
seQuently offered to advance the money out of his
own pocket. The difference between the two New
York Congressman Is thus made as clear as that
which always exists between O true friend Of the
wOrklngman and the demagogue.

THE HALIFAX AU1RD,

The corrcsp ond ence regarding the Halifax
Award disclOses diplomatic fencing in which
England carried her point. The Treaty of
Washington went into effect July /, 1871.
That document stipulated that the
third arbitrator should be named con-
Jointly within three months from that
date failing this the appointment was to de-
yolve on the Austrian Minister at London
On July 7, Mr.. Davis. Acting Secretary OF
State, proposed that England should select
one of six Ministers resident at Washington.
Mr.. Thornton did not reply definitely to this
offer until August 20, when he said that Can
ada would have no foreign Minister at Wash
ington act as arbitrator. Eleven days later,
Mr.. Fish reminded Mr.. Thornton that the
matter was still unsettled, and expressed
satisfaction that there was still some prospect
that both parties would agree on an arbitrator
Mr.. Thornton replied to this September 24.
suggesting that the American and British
Ministers at the Hague should select
Dutch gentleman for the vacant position
Mr.. Fish declined this proposal (Septem-
Der 800 saying that he considered "the
proposition as one intended to be re-
Elected IN order to throw the appointment on
"the Austrian Minister at London"
Mr.. Fish still sought to have the two cOun-
tries agree on nm arbitrator, but he
was met October 27) by Sir Edward Thorn
tons firm reply that the time had expired,
and that the appointment henceforth rested
with the Austrian Minister. The unfortunate
legacy then reverted to the new administra-
ton. Mr. Evarts, as in duty bound, acqui-
esced in the reference to the Austrian
Minister, and the nomination of NJ. DelfOsse,
the Belgian Minister at Washington, followed.
The matter can now have only melancholy
interest for the Nation. No one can tell that
we would have Jared better from joint nom
ination, but 1t is unfortunate that precious
time was allowed to pass so fruitlessly,
and that we should have limited our PROPOSE
ton to Ministers at Washington, instead of
asking England to suggest names rs well
The final result proves that we had nothing
to gain by the selection of some ono Minister
accredited to this country. and that we frit-
tered away the opportunity we had to bring
about joint nomination.

What life she must have had Of it. this Minnie

the Tombs, under a violent suspicion Of being a
common and notorious thief. She seems to have

Foe Great Britain had the honor of her birth, and
of her early training in tho art of stealing but her
more magnificent triumphs were reserved Tor Amer

humble dlsgiises III order to accomplish

first families, in order that she might carry oil

her earliest spoliatons resulted in Sing Sing and
four years She came on. nice a chambermaid as
ever and as SUCH Mt the Ncw-Yorl Hotel, she ilched
the diamonds of ono of the boarders. Sharp, sup
pie with infinite presence Of mind, she has served
rs chainbermaId from Chicago and St. Louis to
Boston, where she has been just caught in hired
lodgings with the spols Of her many brilliant cam
paigns about her, and brought here to occupy less
elegant quarters in the Tombs. The keepers of first
rate hotels will breathe more freely for her incarce-
ration A woman equally at home in the characters
of chambermad and fine lady. was rather danger
Gus inmate of any house. public or private.
The main point of such career ~ this, is tho end
of it, The detectives not handsome, nor elegant,
and there are those who do not think them partcu-
larry sharp but, in tho long run, 1t quito surprs
ing how sure they are OF running down their game.
They have followed this lively larcenst like seuth
hounds, and they have her at last. OF what

play the virtuous invalid widow here in New

taken possession of her. all her ceverness has been
spent in vain in trying to keep out Of the tolls of the
law She has had no better luck than the defaulters
of the other sex. She is Gagged at last.
The moral of the matter for housekeepers is to be
careful, first IN the selection Of chambermaids, and
secondly in locking up articles easily stolen and of
value requiring caution. Minnie w. H. II. NJ. j.

on domestic account, and that foreign agents
are still selling freely, as the market gives
them opportunity.
The country cannot get on in this way much
longer. Exchange at the shipping point as early
as March 21 means mischief. There Is still some
hope that tho declarations of the Secretary OF
the Treasury may check sales of bonds on for
eign account, but the report is in Wall Street
that orders to sell many millions OF Govern
ment bonds are already on the desks OF lead
ing bankers. What harm the Silver Bill has
done, we shall not know for some weeks, ana
it is barely possible that exports of gold may
continue for some time without materially
affecting the premium. The amount now in
this market is very large, and it undoubtedly
exceeds by several millions any commercial
demand. Possibly gold may be exported for
two or three weeks before the premium is al
fected.

alIy. to unfortunate and deplOrable COM
"muDjstic feelings" sThcre Is no animosity'
saws the report, against cOlOred people, Tor
the ANONYMOUS letters calculated to terr1fy
and alarm, most Of them disavOw this. Inc
purpose is "to drive off the labOrers and ten
"ants of the landhOlders, and not to inJure
" the laborers themselves" Southwestern COM
munism docs not seem to differ in this
respect from that of which we have had some
UNPLEASANT examples nearer home. Strikers
are about the same everywhere. Inc rehh-
sylyania GOLFERS had no grudge against those
who were willing to work, except tnat
awakened by their industry. The locomotive
engineers had no ill-feeling against those OF
their brethren who preferred driving engines
TO running about bowling and getting drunk
and impeding trains. So it seems the lOafers
and stay-at-home tramps of Mississippi have
nothing against the landowners except that
thew own land, and nothing against the tillers
thereof except that they till.
They proceed in the usual way. If lab0rer
il determined to work at the current rates,
they visit his hut under cover OF the night, ana
having fogged him, or killed him, they finish
by burning his house. The majority OF the
people are strongly IN favor of law and order
and industry, but there, as here, miserable
minority can throw whole neighborhOod into
terror and confusion by personal violence and
the destruction Of property. When we here
called this sort of conduct "agrarianism " and
communism" it was claimed by few to be
a cruel misapplicatiOn of OpprObrious terms;
but everybody, we suppose, will see it in its
true light as it is exhibited in Mississippi.
There it's unreasonableness and folly, its ruin
GUS absurdity, its cruelty and contemplate I'M
fairness, can be fully understood. Here it was
mixed up with many interests, besides being
too close for n fair view; and it was over
honOred by good deal of foolish extenuaton
But it is the same thing in Pennsylvania that
it is in Mississippi. 1t has nothing to do with
politics; it has no principles which will stand
n moments examinations it is the result of
spleen, jealousy, Incidence, and the lunacy
which suppOses that something can come OF
nothing. The better class of the people will
prevail there as it has here. All we need is q
little time.

THE PRICE OF GOLD.

We are at the turning point. AS has been
ANTICIPATED, foreign exchange has risen until
shipments of gold are now possible. This re-
suit has come little sooner than some eX-
pected, and il is due to the large sales OF
Government bonds during the last week. On
exchange, the recorded sales exceeded $1,000
600, and the aggregate was undoubtedly much
larger. Exports were large last week, and
greatly exceeded imports, but the sales of
bonds turn the scale. In truth, no amount OF
exports that can reasonably be expected can
nav for seven millions of bonds each week in
addition to imports.
March is not yet ended, am exchange is
quoted at 81 80i2. Gold ordinarily flows out
at lower figure. Still it is in our favor that
silver goes abroad freely, Notwithstanding pur-
chases on Government account. IL large
shipments of gold can be avoided for short
time, there is reason to hope that the sales OF
bonds from abroad may diminish. For some
weeks large sales must be expected, nor
can all sales be fairly attributed to foreign
account. Mere speculation accounts for GER
tain portion of the transactions, and sales
on account of banks, insurance companies and
other investors, who are now inclined to diff
ferent form of security, for another part As
many millions are sold, 80 many millions are
bought, on account of domestic institutions,
and 1t does not yet appear that the sales on
the whole exceed the purchases. 1t is probable
that there is still large excess OF purchases

transit If New-York keeps steadily to
what seems the established rule, OF
making the transit through her streets more
costly and tedious than in any of our seacoast
cities, the relief from the pressure OF mer-

doubtless be obtained. Our streets will not
then be incumbered-except by unemployed

Mystery hangs over the disposal OF $1l2,-

Tweed. The Court has prObed far enough 10
find that this sum was Is per cent OF a
$3.50. 900 appropriation obtained in the
days of the Ring for the New Court House
lob. Ingersoll bargained with Tweed that the
percentage was to be paid to secure the legls-
lation. The Court refuses to interfere between
these worthless because their bargain was
corrupt The Judge is evidently inclined to
believe that Tweed did not cheat his partner
in crime, but as justice will not lnvestl-
gate the matter. curiosity on the point must
remain unsatisfied.
Albany is paying great deal of attention
to New-YOrk The bill for pensiOnng super
ANIMATED policemen has passed the Assembly !;
it is kindly though perhaps costly
measure. and in any event should not
serve as precedent. The constitutionality
of the Board of Estimate and Appor-
tionmcnt has been called in question, and
will doubtless arouse debate among the As
sembymen Among the minor bills of inter
est before them is one providing for the inspec-
ton of the elevators used in buildings in this
city. The measure is said to have been pro-
iected because of the recent accident at the
Grand Hotel in Paris, but precautions here
are doubtless equally needed, especially where
the earlier forms of elevators, without recent
improvements, are employed.
