COMMUNIsTIC TRAnPs' THREATS.
Secret Organization Among Farmers
for Mutual Protection.

CLEVELAND, o., July IA farmer from
Knox county was in the city yesterday, and
in speaking of threatening letters from
tramps, said that the farmers have formed q
secret organizations in some places for guard
ing their property. The farmers make good
minute-men, and always load well. Every
man is to have his gun constantly loaded,
and precautions are taken against loss by fire.
The threats from Communists lie principally
against the use Of self-binding haryesters, all
the letters that have been seen being much
alike in tone. This gentleman had one letter
which read as follows
"You better look out; If you don't stop usin
that machine for grindin' you will never hev
any grain to thrash out. We are watching
YOU
This was written on dirty piece of paper
with ragged edges, and had no signature. 1t
was found on the farmers doorstep, and had
never been mailed. There is said to be no
great excitement over the matter, the farmers
being determined to doas they would had the
letters not been written.

THE Pres enCe Ot the Military Bas sOOth-
1mR IF, rf-The MAYORS PnAflInn.

MONTREAL, July 1.-THE presence of the
military seems to have had a guieting effect,
and there Is not the same feeling of uneas-
ness as yesterday, though there is some room
for the gravest concern and anxiety. The ele-
ments for factional fight are only slumber-
ing, and the merest sCuffie may set them
ablaZe.
All the city volunteers were ordered under
arms this morning at o'clock. Six hundred
men will be located in the Skating Rink and
600 more In the Crystal Palace. Fifty Grand
Trunk Railway employees have been sworn
In as special c0nstables
No body of Orangemen has yet arrived
from the West, though a great many indi-
vidual members are In the city, and many
more are expected tonight and tomorrow
morning.
A number OF correspondents have inter
viewed the mayor, but have failed to elicit
any information as to what action he intends
taking tomorrow. He bluntly refuses any
! information.
It is rumored that 1000 special constables
will be sworn In by the mayor to-day, and
that they are to prevent the procession from
walking, eminent lawyers advising him that
the organization is not an Incorporated body,
and consequently not free from being arrested
under the mayors proclamation.

Gov. Porter, of Tennessee, has addressed to
a citizen OF that State an open letter review
ing the growth of the public debt, and stating
that It's amount on the first of January last
had reached the magnificent proportions Of
S23 212 COG. He says in conclusion:
81 am clear In the belief that our financial
condition is the great barrier to prosperity.
It has destroyed State and municipal and
seriously affected Individual credit abroad,
and has broken down all confidence at home.
The banks and individuals who hold money
lock their vaults and refuse all aCCOmmoda-
tions to the borrower, under the belief that,
when public obligations are disregarded, q
scheme will be devised by which individual
contracts will be ignored and avoided with
the same facility. This want of confidence
has locked up millions of currency, which, II it
could be placed in circulation, would go very
far toward the relief of the people of
Tennessee. The holder OF even IDLE and nn-
employed money esteems it now as more val
liable than any species OF property, and he
cannot be expected to change his opinion so
long as the tenure of property is made doubt
ful by disregard OF obligations. Public
opinion is fixed upon one point-nOt to exceed
an additional levy OF thirty cents, making the
State tax forty cents. This has been the
pledge of the Democracy for the past four
years. The special report of the controller,
made in December, 1877 shows that, accord
ing to the present assessment, the tax on
property and merchants, at thirty cents, will
yield a net revenue of $714,046; add to this
the cash income of S7O,5OO derived from the
lease of the penitentiary, with the revenue
from railroad, telegraph and sleeping car
companies, we have an ample margin inside
of which a settlement can be made easily and
acceptable to all concerned. OF course this
will be burdensome to the taxpayer, but we
owe the debt, and debts are always trouble
some and never paid conveniently. 1t Is we'll
enough for the people to understand that
whatever settlement Is made money will be
rnullired tn meet the undertaking. and this
money will have to come from the pockets of

origin of the Uprising.

PARIS, July lit appears that the up
rising and massacre by the Bonloupari tribe
in New Caledonia had Tor its origin certain
.offenses committed by q few of the Commu-
mist convicts against the women Of this
tribe. These oonvicts had been permitted to
settle upon portions of land near the terri
tory of the Bonlouparis. For awhile all went
well. The Bonlouparis were pleased with
their new neighbors, and extended to them
their usual hospitality.
An affair between one of the Frenchmen
and the wife of the Chief of the Bonloupariss
led to a hostile feeling, and this was famed
into flame soon afterwards by an assault
committed on some Of the native women who
had visited the French settlement.

sherman says He Did Nothing But rs
Not believed.

NEW YORK, July 11.-SeCretary Sherman's
conference with the bankers lasted about half
an hour. The Secretary was accompanied by
Mr.. Gilfillan, Treasurer of the United States,
and by Mr.. Babcock, chief of the claim divis-
viewed after the conference, asserted that
nothing was done-they merely had private
talk. Secretary Sherman also said that the
talk was private, and that nothing was done.
The presence at the conference, however, of
Mr. Babcock, chief of the loan division Of the
United States Treasury, lends significance
that strongly points to the placing Of the re-
naming $50,0o0,00O ~ of per cent bonds to the

MONTREAL, July II, p. m.-The feeling of
quiet reported this morning has passed away
and is being succeeded by feeling Of intense
uueasiness as the twelfth gradual ap-
proaches. The mayor has had the Orange
hall on Great St. James street carefully
searched for arms, but none were found. A
large meeting of Irish Catholics Is being held
to bring pressure to bear to prevent the pro-
CessiOn.
The Orangemen, notwithstanding the legal
opinion given and the mayors proclamation,
have just decided upon walking, and con-
fltct between them and the civil authorities
now seems inevitable. Great apprehensiOns
are entertained Of conflict between the mill
tary and civic authorities, as they are not at
all in accord
Special constables are being sworn in by
| the mayor. This augurs no good, as the
military force now In the city Is sufficient TO
| uuell any trouble. The Fifteenth Battalion,
| from Huntington, has just arrived. They
marched up st. James street without, how
ever, arOuSing any unusual excitement. Sir
| Selby Smythe states that he will act under
| the magistrates who called on the troops.
While the National Associated Press CORE
| spOndent was interviewing him a police ser.
geant came running in hurriedly, and stated
| that information had been received that pow
der had been placed in the Craig street tun

for the mayor to deal with, and not for him.

srhnrz, aalrl secretary.

In Secretary Shurz' private room in the
Patent Office building, writing quietly at
table, the visitor will see graceful, pretty
young lady. This is Miss Anna b. Irish,
the secretary who answers Mr.. Schurz'
French, German, italian, and other letters In
foreign tongues. She Is q Nebraska girl, with
elegant manners and musical voice, and
gentle, lady-like ways, which are wholly
winning. At an age when most young ladies,
particularly in Washington, sleep nearly all
day with their hair in curl-papers, and
spend the night dancing, OF travelling from
one reception to another, Miss Irish quietly
turns her back on the world and studies. AS
linguist, she Is probably not excelled by
any one Of her age In this country, having
knowledge Of ancient languages as well as
modern. Besides her linguistic studies she Is
also learning photography. She is not more
than twenty-One or twenty-five years old,
yet this graceful, gifted American girl has
the engagement for translating all Of Auer-
bach's works. She met Auerbach himself In
Germany while her father was consul there.
and pleased him infinitely, as indeed, she does
everybody. The German novelist's latest
work is "LandoIin," and Miss Irish's transla-
| tion Of it gratifed him so much that he wrote
her letter warmly expressing his pleasure.
Undoubtedly the young lady has q fine career
before her. She does her studying evenings,
after she has spent her eight hours In the de-
