The Music COMMENCED.-Last Thursday, a
Deputy United States Marshal came to Troy,
and served o summons upon the County Com
missioners, notifying them that they had been
sued in the United States Circuit Court, for in
terest on Railroad Bonds. The individual who
brings this suit, rejoices in the name of Smedley
Darlington. Where he halls from, do not
know. The amount of interest that he sues for,
is only some $505, which indicates that he does
not own q large amount of the bonds. But this
is only the entering wedge. If Smedley makes
his point, other holders of bonds will rush in.
The whole amount of bonds outstanding is $500, :
900. The people of the County think that q
just compromise ought to reduce the amount to
500 900, at most. This, with interest, would
relieve the County Of over S5O0,OOO of unjust
debt, and would not cause the bondholders to
lose cent; tor they bought the bonds at less
than 80 cents on the dollar of the persons who
swindled the people of the County out of them.
The Commissioners have carried out the will of
the people, IN refusing to levy tax. The time
is now approaching to determine whether the
people will back up the Commissioners, as they
resolved to do

CoMMuSIsN.-The country is liable, almost
any dag, to witness another outbreak, similar
to tho riots Of last Summer, but perhaps of q
worse character. Communism has strong no Id
in all the great cities. They are a secret, oath
bound association, composed of men of the most
dangerous character. In Chicago, they have .
membership Of 900 armed, and drilled. In New
York, they held meeting, few days ago, un-
der the leadership Of notorious French Com
munist, at which they gave utterance to the
most atrocious sentiments. A branch of the
National party, recently organized at Toledo, 10
secret and oath-bOund, and is intimately connec-
ted with the Communistic association. The
tramps that roam the country have some con-
nection with it, and know the designs and plans;
and when an outbreak occurs, they will all be
found engaged in it. These are the men who
talk Of the rights Of labor, and lend their aid to
break down the great industries of the country,
that they may live by plunder. The strikes of
last Summer wero begun by men who were
contending for living wages but the circunl-
stance was taken advantage of by the more dan
gerous class, for the worst purposes. The latter
are now more thoroughly organized, and prepar-
ed to make the most of another outbreak, which
they will do their utmost to precipitate. Hon.
est iaboring men should remember this, and not
encourage any organization or movement which
will result in destroying the laborer aud build
ing up the plunderer.
