Absenteesm.

The evil Of absenteeism takes many forms
Too substance Of all the wrougs 10 which
thu. name il given Is that the money earucd
In :, ne country or community Is net sx'
pes,led nor reinyestcd by persons residing
in that community, but sent to another
ca,,nrrv or community and there invested
or expended. The grievance IN question
has most frequently been complained OF IN
Irelsnd.
The southern portion OF the United states
hs> been styled the Ireland Of America. IN
may respects Ireland Is In a mucn worse
condition than are those States. and therefore
the designation Is not altogether appropriate
Y.s the southern States have suffered mucn
from the evil of which we are speaking. a
senator recently showed that the dinerehce
between the amour, OF money expended py
,be Federal Government during the last GEN.
tury in the North and that expended oy Tue
same Government In The South was OF Itself
sufficient to make the North rich as CON-
nared with the South, had there been no
coun,eracling Influences. The pension actS
which Congress has so tbougbtlessly passed,
and which in their operation HOOD the
northern States, and them alone, Win
millions upon millions OF dollars. Is 60
ing 20 prove a much deadler enemy TO
sou, bern prosperity than the unfair APP
propristions for the Improvement oil rlV-
ORE md baIbors, for forts, for custom
houses. post.ofiices, &C., DC, have ever
proyed themselves to be. To collect soO,-
600. 900 from the whole country and expend
the entire fifty millions in another section 's
the worst form OF absenteeism. And that
suca gilI be the necessary operation oil tbe
pension laws now in force must be evident
10 everybody, since the soldiers OF The
northern army were all, or nearly all, from
the northern section Ct the Union. These
pensions amount now to larger sum annu-
aliy than they would have amounted 10 II
the Republicans had had uDrestraned sway
in Congress, the Democratic members being
always afraid to vote against pensiouing the
Union soldiers.
The evil ought 10 be remedied. Tie
soldiers OF the Mexican war ought 10 have
large pensions granted to them. Then all
the rivers and harbors in the South ought
TO have liberal appropriations made for
their Improvement. II we were in Con-
grcss, We would any day vote for an appro-
pria'lou OF fifty millions OF dollars to the
IMPROVEMENT OF the Mississippi river by
CAPTAIN EADs. II the northern congress
men Of the two parties are disposed to be
inst. thew will aid in lifting an unjust
bur:hen from the shoulders OF the South by
giving 10 her large suns OF money for such
improvements as she needs. Thus may the
sectional operation OF the pensions act be
in some measure counteracted.

Editor hNorfoib Virginian ; An aIuc'e
appearcd IN YOUR paper Few days ago
giving some statistics In regard TO the Me-
tbodtst Episcopal Church South within the
hounds OF the Virginis Conference which
wete erroneous, and which beg leave 10
correct. IL was stated that only three
churches paid their pastors ns mucn rs
81 sOO-yiz., Conrtsireet, Lynchbuig;
Centenary, Richmond, and Market'Sireet,
Petersburg. Tue facts are that ten cbuTches
paid their pasiors during the past year
Fl. 500 and overwhelmingly TRINITY,
Redmond, $500; Centenary, Richmond,
$3.50; BroadSticet, Richmond, Si,oOV J

aud Granby.stIeel, Norfolk, $4,000. IL
will appear that two paid each SlS0O, one
paid $1,000, two paid 81 80, four paid
g, 200, and two paid $4,000.
There was also an error In regard 10 nleai-
bersbip. The article stated that there was
n net decrease In the membership OF the
church for the past year. The whole num-
her OF additions 10 the church for 1880 was

Happening to be In Richmond some time
since, we were surprised 10 learn that the

ing Richmond at 10 O'Clock that morning
did not reach our subscribers there until
o'clock Friday.
The Baltimore Sun and New York Herald,
which, before the fast mail, reached US the
morning following their publication, now,
although they get To Richmond one ball
hour before the evening mail train OF the
DAT OF THEIR PUBLICATION leaves, do not
come on that traio--do not come by the
next mornings mail, and only reach us ia
the mail Of the next evening.
Once more. On Saturday last we did not
receive, and no subscriber here received,
any one Of the three Richmond daiIies, and

EXERCISE VS.. BRAIN W oRK.-The iIft'c
Health Primer entitled The Heart ana It's
Function, which Primer IS noticed else
where IN this days issue OF The D'Spotc",
contains the following remarks. we had
learned the truth stated 10 them by per-
sonal experience; but there are many per-
sous who imagine that cerebral exhaustion
may he prevented by constant exercise OF
The body. CHARLES DICKENS possibly fell
a victim to this delu,iOn. However, whether
the reader will bear or will forbear to hear,
we will let HIM read what our author says );
"The idea of counteracting The evil Ell:
fcc;s of prolonged brain-work by bout OF
violent athletics is one arising out OF the
notion that brain-work is no expenditure OF
+,ncome. but merely q neiyou, excitement
mainly injurious by its preventing the
working of OF that food which our
stomach insists urou having. The moment,
however. that we realize that FRAMEWORK Is
as great, and in some respects greater,
expenditure OF income QoOd) than muscu-
lar exercise, then we comprehend that to
counierbalance prolonged brain work by
violent exercise is to burn the cand'c NJ
both ends, aud rs as certain OF producing
bankruptcy OF health as the latter hsurative
procedure when exercised in regard to
money matters Is Of producing a similar
condition financially"
~. Income" is used IN tie Primer to describe the
npieni.hipg Of the body with wha II needs Tor IT'S
hcalty support.
