THE little speck In the political horizon,
no larger than mans hand, which now
betrays the existence of the living Commune
in this country, is ominous. It portends a
growing storm. In various ways the strength
of agrarian principles exhibits convincing
signs Of constant growth. The unrest pro-
duced by financial depression, the forced
idleness Of honest workingmen, the pinched
incomes Of the middle classes or trades peo-
pie, and, above all, the criminal restlessness
Of demagogues and blatant politicians, who
are unscrupulous enough to play upon the
selfish passions Of complaining and relief
seeking people, are agents, and effective
ones, in promoting this growth. While the
attention Of greater number Of our law
makers is absorbed by other subjects, these
agencies Of destruction are making rapid
headway in the direction Of chaos and IN
utter disruption of the peaceable and orderly
methods of our governmental system. But
even in our legislative halls such men as
HENDRICK b. WRIGHT occasionally parade
their amenity to this pernicious influence
with unblushing effrontery, and seek the
favor of the agrarian rabble, as Mr. WRIGHT
sought the nomination for Governor at the
hands of the Pennsylvania Nationals. 1t !:
full time this important development in the
political affairs Of the country should receive
more attention than has yet been accorded

TIE New York Hcrdid is just at present
rendering advice to Republicans as to what
they should and what they should
not do in the coming campaign
1t refers to the proposition to send num-
Der of our ablcst Northern public speakers
canvass, and seems to regard it rs one Of
the most hopeful signs Of q revival of COM
mon sense in the political field that this
should be their determination. II shows
that they have at last begun to look events
in the face, and that they mean hereafter to
adapt themselves to the changes in the times.
The HcrdId, however, warns the Republic
cans that they must give up absolutely the
banner of the bloody shirt" unmindful of
the fact, no doubt, that our "bloody shirt"
banner is that which emblematizes this ma
ton with its Stars and Stripes. The
"bloOdy shirt is of Democratic origin and
manufacture, and we cannot relinquish the
right to point to it, even if we do not bear
and wave it over our battle fields. The
"bloody shirt" is woven into our national
history by the hand of the murderous as
sassin of the South since the close of the
war, and it will never disappear from men,
ory and execration until its existence is
condoned by new policy in the South
which fully recognizes the equal personal
and political rights Of all men before the

GENERAL Il. F. BUTLER is credited with
giving publicity to II new idea regarding
the result of displacement of President
HAYES in consequence Of the pending in
vestigation of his title. 1t is that TUDEN
has no title, and that the Presidency would
in consequence become vacant To use his
own words, as we find them reported in an
interview by the New York Ioi'grdm, "thc
flaw in TIIDEN's title assuming tia. he
sreceived II majority of the electoral votes,
"in fact is that these votes were not
"counted Tor him in the presence of the
two Houses, as they should have been.
There is meat in this suggestion Of n kind
that McsSrs. SPRINGER, LOCKWOOD, and
FINLEY will not find very palatablr. fits
assumptions are correct the success of theiI
conspiracy to Oust President HAYES would
not necessarily result in the iustailmcnt OF
TILDEN.

AN anti-Southern claims plank in the
next Republican platform is now assured.
Fealty to the constitutional amendments
and effective pledges that they shall be
carried out to the full scope and intent ofthcir
meaning, thereby insuring free citizenship
In the South as well as in the North, will
rs certainly form the basis of another plank
But the threatening aggressions of the Com.
mune, in its varied forms, must receive at
tention. Many sections of the North
especially in the larger cities, will be over
whelmed with consideration of this qucs
ton, forced by the actual living presence o
riotOus agrarianism. The Republican party
will not hesitate to grapplc with this dis
turbin2 element. 1t should be thrOttled il
the cradle.

THE writer Of the paragraph in our news
columns yesterday relating to the mysteri-
ous visits Of Justice FIELD to Messrs. BLAIR
and SPRINGER, of the TTLDEN conspiracy,
blunderingly announced that the judge was
not member of the Electoral Commission.
The scribe undoubtedly had in his mind
the very proper idea that the judge should
not have been such member, for II is q noto-
riOus fact that pending the sessions Of the
Commission he acted as violent partisan,
and, as it is alleged, was in constant COM
munication with his brother, DAVID DUD-
LEY FIELD, TILDEN's lawyer However
this may be, the blunder does not detract
from the significance of the reliable state
ment which accompanied it, that the
judge was engaged in dodging about among
the anti-HAYEs consprators with an ac'
tivity only equalled by that of our reporter
who, as q news, seeker, found his opportuni'
ties for interviews with Messrs. BLAIR and
SPRINGER abridged or interfered with by
this distinguished Democratic representa-
tive Of the Supreme Court. 1t may not be
Inappropriate right here to add that he IL
as much of n partisan now as he was wher
he persistently voted to sustain the preten'
sions of TILDEN before the Commission
Unlike Justice BRADLEY, he could only SEE
one side Of the case, and his jug-handled
decisions were in consequence Of that par.

planted GRANT in 1872. The opening OF
the question in any degree commensurate
with justice and right will re-cstablish

THERE is a demand that Congress shall
adjourn without delay. 1t comes from
both parties and is based upon the belief
that an early adjournment of that body
would restore business confidence by re-
moving cause of constant fear that the
finances, the tariff, and other vital interests
may be made to suffer Though the blum
dcring tinkcring of demagogues. To this
demand we would say amen, if it were not
for the impending Presidential title investi-
cation. That being begun, practically, we
insist that it shall be carried out to the
bitter end Now, that the Democrats have
thrown down the gauntlet and dcfed the
Republicans to 90 on with an exposure of
the alleged frauds of 1876, let the latter
pick il up and give their opponents battle
with n determination to win the victory for
right and justice that is certain to follow
their wcll-dircctcd and brave efforts. The
responsibility for the consequent continued
commercial disquiet will rest with the De

this secondary attempt TO place TILDEN,
the incomc-tax thief, at the head of the
Government. If it were not for these facts
we would advise that the nppropr ti0ns

DIPHTHERIA POISONING.

Some weeks ago a grand daughter Of
Mr.. Provost, who owns the mill at Fair
Heven, on the Castle Shannon Rail
road, was attacked with diphtheria.
The disease yielded to treatment, but
during its continuance the child put its
thumb into its mouth and either broke
the skin or there was previous wound
on the thumb as the virus from the
mouth took effect in the member. The
poison spread so rapidly that in the
hope of checking it the thumb wa:
amputated at the first joint. In day
or two it became evident that another
excision was necessary and the re
mainder of the member was taken off
1t is now learned that the poison is still
doing its deadly work, and at con
sultation Of medical men it was decid
ed to amputste the arm midway be
tween the wrist and elbow. The pa
rents Of the child protested and th,
operation was postponed for the pres
ent, but the doctors think there is D,
other hope of saving the little one
life.-Pittsburgh Dispatch Oct 80.
