Communism.

Some years ago. in a series of letters
on the condition and outlook of the coun-
try, the late Bishop Marvin, of the
Methodist Episcopal Church South. al
luded in his usual stirring style to the
Communistic element already existing in
some sections. He predicted that unless
something should be done to prevent its
growth that the day was not distant
when it would be an element of immense
peril to the peace and property and lives
of the people in the cities where it was
suffered to get a strong hold.
1t has indeed, sooner than this eminent
and now lamented writer anticipated,
showed its dangerous presence in more
cities than one. And even Chicago, the
place in which two great stalwart organs
of Radicalism are ever disparaging and
defaming the South, trembled for Its life
and was saved from calamity more
dreadful than its great fire, by the
bravery of an Irish regiment Commun-
ism has no foothold in the South, and
we fervently trust it viii never have.
Bishop O'Conner recently delivered a
lecture in St. Louis on this subject. and
concluded as follows:
Nevertheless, there are very grave
dangers to be apprehended from Com
munism in the United States. In nearly
all our great commercial and nanufac-
turing centres there are societies either
avowedly Communistic, or largely under
the influence of COmmunistic ideas.
They are thoroughly organized. and, in
some instances, drilled and armed for
the struggle they predict. and which.
their leaders say, they are determined
to precipltate between capital and labor
in this country. All the elements of
disorder amongst us are in sympathy
with them. Our great and ever grow
ing army of tramps would rally TO their
support in any crisis that might arise
Property owners, and law abiding citi
Zens generally, regard them with ever in
creasiug alarm. To withdraw their men
from their influence, and prevent their
gaining absolute political control of
our cities, large firms and railroad COM
panies are distributing their factories and
shops over the country districts of every
State. But the influences these organi-
cations WELD at the polls make them
courted or feared by our politicians. who
cannot be induced to follow the legisla-
ton necessary to avert the evils they may
cause at any moment. The destruction
of even one of our large cities would be
fearful calamity, yet who will say that
it may not be brought about any day by
these societies, some of which seem to be
animated by the very spirit of the Paris
Commune? 1t is but three years since
Chicago seemed, for time to be at their
mercy, and when, in all probability, ii
would have been laid in ashes but for the
determination of the Irish regiment that
had been called out to defend it. The
danger for that and other cities is not
over. 1t becomes every day more and
more threatening, and unless proper pre-
cautionary measures be taken to avert it
the consequences may be deplorable.

How Many Pension Claims are
Fraudulent.
Ne.o York Sun .

The government owes support to its
disabled soldiers, and to the widows and
children of soldiers killed In service.
No duty is palmer or more imperative.
Nearly sixteen years have passed since
the war ofthe rebellion ended. Children
in their cradles when Lincoln first called
for volunteers have become citizens and
voters. Children who were learning to
write when Lee surrendered are earning
support for families of their own. The
number of names now borne on the
pension roll exceeds quarter of a mil
lion. It would be thought that time
enough had elapsed for all veterans hon
estly entitled to pensions, and all
widows aud orphans with honest
claims for government support, to obtain
their rights. The account should have
been closed long ago.
Yet the number of claims pending, wait
ing for recognition by Congress, is larger
to-day than the number already on the
rolls. These are the claims W hich Con
gress has been passing in PATCHES, some
times at the rate of twenty a minute,
without even the pretense of an exami-
nation.
Almost three hundred thousand per-
sons, claiming to be disabled soldiers or
the widows of soldiers killed in battle,
are now asking for pensions, sixteen
years after the closing of the war. In
ten months of 1879 and 1880 there were
filed with the Commissioner of Pensions
more than 81, 900 new claims, including
70, 465 of invalids and 10 760 of widows
There may be proper claims among these,
but the lapse OF so long time before
they are presented raises q presumption
against them which calls for the strictest
inquiry.
Probably very large part of the gen.
ulle claims in the enormous number
now pending are in the hands of agents
and SPECTATORS who have bought them
for song. The government owes no
debt to such people.

The English have lately taken great

The English have lately taken great
fancy to America, and our influence in
Great Britain is continually growing and
spreading. A few years ago the English
press ignored American affairs altogether,
but now each edition of the leading pa
pers contains some article on American
topics. The magazines have followed
suit, and novels and stories founded on
life in this country now fill their pages
Another evidence of this growing inf1u-
ence, remarks the New Orleans Democrat
is seen in the large number of British
travellers visiting this country. Former
" they went altogether to the continent
or to Africa; now, the very best classes try
a trip across the Atlantic and study our
habits, customs, politice and cuisine. The
general result of their observations seems
favorable to the United States. On such
other points as oysters, sewing machines,
canned goods, beef, street cars, tele-
phones, etc., our influence is more I'M
bounded than ever.

The government receipts have fallen
off of late. The receipts for the current
month to date demontrate that the Sec
rotary of the Treasury viii not buy any
outstanding bonds other than the balance
of the skies of 1880. November 1st,
1880, there were outstanding sl3, Ala, 100
of these bonds. There were redeemed
during that month s., 609, POI, and during
December 5000, 430. This leaves

says the Washington Star, that it viii re
quire all the surplus revenues of the cur
rent month to meet these outstanding
bonds. For this reason it is thought
that Secretary Sherman will make no
purchases until February. if then, unless
the funding bill passes at once.

Color IN THE CABINET.-The Wash
ington correspondent of the Baltimore
Sun says: '"The suggestion that Senator
Bruce, of Mississippi, be called into the
Cabinet of General Garfield has been
made to the President elect, and he thinks
well of it, but is reported as saying that
there is plenty of time for reflection. 1t
has been represented to Senator Bruce
that certain parties have told General
Garfield that his (Bruce's) appointment
to the Cabinet would make row in the
South and injure the Republican party
there as a step towards social equality.
Senator Bruce thinks this is very I'M
manly warfare; that he has been long in
public life, and never yet went any
where he was not invited. he wishes q
distinction, however, between equality
before the law and social equality. Ii Is
a singular fact, and illustrates the high
standing of Senator Bruce, that a ma
joritY of the Mississippi delegation say
they would prefer Bruce in the Cabinet
to any white Republican from that State
Senator Lamar Is reported as saying that
the white people of his State would
rather see Bruce in the Cabinet than any
white Republican in all Mississippi.
Bruce stands well, and is on good terms
with all the Democrats in the delegation.

A reporter of the Atlanta C0nstitu ton
had an interview the other day with
Gen. Marcus J. Wright, who is en-
ployed by the Federal Government to
collect the Confederate war records.
Gen. Wright announced that he. had
nearly all the necessary papers in good
order, and would be able to present as
full Confederate account of the war as
the Federal records. He had found no
difficulty in collecting all the papers he
desired, and the officers OF the Con-
federacy had not evineed the slightest
hesitation in intrusting their records to
him.
General Wright corrects many popular
errors concerning the late war. He
finds that at the first battle of Manassas,
where it was generally believed the
Federal forces exceeded the Confederates
two to one, that the two armies were
very nearly equal in point of numbers.
As to the comparative number of men in
the field, throughout the war, however,
the showing is decidedly in favor Of the
Confederates. The Union forces num-
bered 100000, while the Confederate
troops did not exceed 8O0,0
General Wright says there cannot be
the slightest doubt that General Lees
reports were, without comparison, the
cleanest and best. OF the cavalry Gen.
erals, Wheeler's were by far the best.
On the Federal side, he gives the palm to
Lincoln,%hose papers were all prepared
by himself, and these filled him with
amazement and admiration of Lincoln's
ability. The other Generals whom he
praises for their reports are General
Hardee, and General McClerland for his
account of the battle of Shiloh.

A very pleasant episode occurred on
change Saturday morning, which is
worthy of note, both from its rarity and
also that ii is eminently creditable to the
party particularly interested. Some if
teen months ago Mr.. Charles Rous, q
gentleman engaged in the grain trade
here, failed, as many another man has
done before him, and compromised with
his creditors by the payment of fifty cents
on the dollar, receiving full discharge.
Subsequently he commenced business
again, which he has since pursued dill
gently and proftably, and Saturday
morning, to the surprise of all the paI-
ties interested, he made full payment
of ell his cancelled liabilities, with in
terest at the rate Of per cent. from the
date of his failure, the whole amounting
to about $f5. 900. When the matter be-
came known on change Mr.. Rous re-
celved three hearty cheers, which were
given with a win and which were GER
tainly well deserved. Baltimore Gazette.

The Washington Star says: THE bill
to regulate the new apportionment SO as
to assure the minority party a regular
representation, does not seem to meet
with much favor among members of
Congress. Such a measure would have
the effect of making Congressional cleo
tons tame formal proceedings. as in all
but very close districts the result would
be assured beforehand. Under the pres
ent system of superintendent the minor
ity gets its propOrtionate representation
ia Congress. and it will, no doubt, be
maintained. The census committees of
both houses are opposed to the minority
representation plan as 'utopian.' and
their views are likely TO prevail"
