Thanks to a lupssta 1,c',nB Of our Telegraph
man, the New York Times has discovered a
gigantic marea nest. Commenting on the
lynehing OF four negroes at Monroe Ii recalls
the reported lynching at Felioiana 1--WE have
apologised q number OF times for the error
that placed this occurrence In Feiciana III
aaaad OF pointe Coupee. and arrives Mt the con-
clusion that as Fclicana and Ouachita were
among the so-called bulldozed parishes OF '7e
that bulldozjng must have been inaugurated
again and be prevalent now to an alarming
extent In these parishes, 1t learns through
private sources that these lynchings were
probably committed for political reasons and
TO properly inauRurate the political campaign
Cor the coming election; II even gets letter
from this State telling how the negroes are
taken out at night by armed men and whipped,
and suRgests that these lynchings are but a
small portion Of the crimes committed In this
State. most of which are covered up 'bttdi 6oti-
cealed by the Democratic press.
Az far as The Ouachita affair Is concerned, IL
ss difficult to speak until more Is known; 1t
appears to have been complete surprise to
the people of Monroe, an undertaking in
which very few persons were engaged. The
men lynched were n,urdorers, who would
have been ultimately hung. anyhow. The
Supreme Court had ordered q new trial In
some of these cases on a technical ground,
and 1t is probable that this decision produced
Il fear lest the criminals might ultimately
escape through some legal bubble, to prevent
which the lynching took place. AS for the
Eeliciana affair, MS we have repeated n dozen
times, 1t did not occur IN Feliciana, but in
pointe Coupee, q strong Republican parish.
all of whose officials and representatives are
Republicans, a parish in which, as the Repub-
licans have frequently boosted, no man, white
orsblack, has ever been hurt. injured Or abused
for his opinion or politics
The Times can hardly take advantage of our
lupsus pennn to prove the revival of bull
doing in the parishes SO slandcred by the
Republicans in 1876.

The past year has seen the organization o
scores Of so-called Socialistic parties OF
leagues in this country. pledged to division
OF property. It was to be observed however
that these Socialists were without exception
Socialists only SO far as the banks and mil
lionaires We're concerned; they were anxious
to divide the money Of the big corporations
and millionaires among themselves, but in.
disposed to put their own wealth in the public
pot A new organization, however, the
Emancipators OF Labor, which has sprung
into existence In the past few weeks. is com
posed OF genuine Communists and Socialists
who propose to establish here the communal
system prevalent In most OF the villages OF
Russia
This organization engages to supply all
persons joining 1t with work at average
wages, with medical treatment and medicines
during Illness and with a homestead, and at
the end of ten years Of labor with cult
waited farna. The members are to obtain all
their goods at the stores Of the institution
and to pay certain proportion of their earn
ings into Its treasury.
The members of this order claim that they
are not Communists. but Co-operationists 1t
is hard to distinguish any difference between
these terms, unless it be that the Communists
propose to win over converts to their way of
thinking by shotgunss the Co-operationists
by persuasion. The plan Of the Labor Eman-
cipators is not only not revolutionary and I'M
lawful, but sensible and advantageous, il
practicable. Many workingmen's organiza-
tions have proposed that the government
should take control Of all the railroads,
canals, etc, in the country, and engage to fur
nish all persons with employment Such a
scheme is absurd and impossible. It was tried
in France in 1S4s, and instead of benefting the
Workingmen, as expected, helped to pull down
liers 7aaHena,Gr' and to establish, instead of a
republic, CRsarism. Cooperation, on the
other hand. has. to certain extent, proved
successful in England: it is to be seen whath-
sr it can be carried out to all the wants and
necessities Of life, as the Labor Emancpators
propose.
This new organization, so the Globe Demo-
xrat announces. has been already formed in
several cities in this country, although in no
Instance, have all the necessary arrangements
been perfected. Each establishment of the
order ID to consist of 5000 members. 1t is
Thought that this membership will provide
quarterly s102000. which is to be chiefly used
as the working capital Of the concern. It is
probable that the scheme will be practically
sied within q very short time.

The Gas Question .

Messrs. Editors,-As Taxpayer and gas
consumer ana glad to hear. that the Com
mittee on Light proposes to recommend
that the price OF gas be reduced from $3.50
to 3 per thousand feet. 1t is enough that
gas-consumers are taxed to light the streets
and public buildings; that they should be
called upon to put revenue in the city trea-
sury is asking rather too much, unless, in
deed, the city announces its policy to be to
run the works merely as q money-making
institution.
There are many people, including poor
men and women whose toilsome labor at
night is all that secures them bread, who
would be glad to abandon the dangerous
and troublesome oi-lamps for gas-light.
Many such will be benefited by the pro-
posed reduction. There are indeed scarcely
any arguments against reduction except
that the city may thus be deprived OF $780,
600 OF net revenue from the works. Better
that the $4,000 should be raised by direct
taxation than that the gaS-consumers should
be longer required to pay rate that Is at
this time excessive and onerous. But the
revenue thus lost need not be raised at all.
By proper economy it may be saved the
tax payer. It ought to be saved. IL the
counciImen will hear their constituents 1t
apiN be saved.
But that is a matter for future c0nsidefa-
tion. The first thing is to do justice to the
gas s-consumers; reduce the price from $3.50
| to 81. The latter price will suffice for all
the expenses at the works, and will give
the city the free lighting OF the streets and
| her public buildings. w.

The Debt Question.

AS we remarked yesterday in our brief
comments upon the inaugural address OF
Governor Holiday, the tone and language
Of that document impose the highest sort
Of duties and responsibilities upon the re-
adiusters in the Legislature. 1t is evident
that the new Governor is not in opinion or
sympathy with them nor they with him in
his views of the debt question, and the
Governor very distinctly and unre-
serYedly throws all the respons-
bility OF readjustment upon the MEM
bers OF the Legislature! II they do not
"adjust," then there can be no "adiust-
ment"; and If no adjustment, then all OF
the responsibility OF failure will rest upon
them, unless the Governor should interpose
his veto,rin which case the responsibility
would rest exclusively with him. tits a
matter of very grave importance to the
State and to her creditors, and its adjust
ment should not admit Of any serious con-
flict between either the Legislative and
Executive Departments OF the Government
or Of the creditor and debtor side of the
contract.
We admonish all parties, therefore, in
terested In this important matter, to 60 to
work at once, and in earnest, to settle the
question satisfactorily and permanently. 1t
cannot endure as it now stands. It cannot
be made the controlling issue in another
campaign two years hence without result
ing in utter Reputation on the one hand,
or the perpetuation Of the extreme
funding bin on the other. The latter is
Impossible. and the former would be q
great calamity and humiliation to the State
and her people. Let the members of the
Legislature, therefore, and the creditors Of
the State come together at once in friendly
and wise counsel and perfect the debt ques-
ton on terms that win admit hereafter OF
no controversy. Thequestion should never
enter again into the politics Of the State

NEw-YEAR's TESTIMONIAL TO THE PASTOR
OF TRINITY CHURcH.-Rev. William E. Jud-
kins, pastor OF Trinity Methodist church,
was the recipient of several handsome and
valuable New-Year's presents from the
members of his church and congregation
on Friday night last. After the close OF the
prayer.meeting exercises the members pre-
sent, reinforced by friends in the neighbor-
hood, adjourned in a body to the pastors
residence, armed with tokens Of Christian
love for their beloved pastor and his family.
The family were very much surprised by
this sudden invasion, but soon rallied and
entertained the party handsomely. The
presentation was made on behalf OF the
church by Mr.. C. P. Rady, and Mr.. Jud.
kins responded in appropriate and feeling
remarks, expressive Of his high apprecia-
tion of this spontaneous token OF esteem
from the members OF his charge.

THE NEW SouP-HUUsE-AN EXCELLENT
INsTITUTIoN.-The lady managers OF the
Christian Women's City Mission have sent
us the following notice concerning the new
seup-house, an excellent public charity,
which, by the way, will doubtless be read
with interest:
The ladies OF the Women's CITY Mis-
sion, under whose auspices tue soup-house
was inaugurated, desire to call the atten-
tion of the public to the degree OF success
which their first month OF work indicates.
For the first Two weeks after the house
was opened the receipts from the soup sold
barely covered the expense OF making it,
notwithstanding large proportion Of the
necessary materials was donated. Since
that time, however, the sales have been
steadily increasing, until now between
nineteen and twenty gallons day are regu-
larly disposed OF, and the receipts from
tickets sold nearly double those OF any pre-
cedng time.
In addition to the daily sale Of the soup
tits the intention to dispense free tickets in
cases OF peculiar need, as the resources Of
the society permit. Eighty Of these tickets
have been given away this week. As an
instance of the usefulness possible in this
work, we learn that one poor family has
maintained itself for two weeks for the
most part upon the soup it has been able to
obtain from the soup-house.
The soup SOLD more than pays for itself.
1t remains for the society to defray the eN-
penses OF house-rent, service, &c. This they
are enabled to do by the aid of private sub
scriptions assured for five monthss The
work of the society is also growing in other
directions. "A committee on visiting the
poor has been organized, whose duty it is to
ascertain the needs and resources OF the
poor, and to- advise them OF the location and
Opportunities OF the soup-house. They are
alse empowered to distribute free soup
tickets in cases Of actual necessity. The
committee has Of necessity found them
selves unable to relieve'a large proportion
OF the cases of real want that have come un-
der their notice, and the society can only
hope for such assistance from generous
public in carrying onfits work as no truly
charitable work in Richmond has ever failed
I to receive. .+Gti 80 ,..#
The society would gratefully acknowledge
generous contributions already received OF
coal and wood from Messrs, Hawes and
Gary, and Of soup materials from Mr.. Hech-
Ter and others.
Bible-readings have been appointed for
each Sunday afternoon, which have been
attended by small numbers. Hymn-books
are greatly needed in this work; Will not
some one offer few?
Subscriptions or assistance OF any kind
may be sent to Mrs. Patton, corner Of Third
and Franklin streets, or forwarded to the
soup-house, 1414 Franklin street.
A meeting Of the Women's City Mission
and the various visitors is called on Satur-
day. January 18th, at II O'Clock, at the soup
house, 1414 Franklin street. a full attend
ance is particularly requested.
