THURSDAY, JANUARY ZQ, ISO.
TllK first isiuo ef lha Winston Lvdger
James A. Uobiosio l'Jitor, was re
ceived on Thursday. The LeJgcr is
Democratic ii politic!, a .d we wish it
success.
Tun Ncwj Publishing Co. bas leased
the building and outfit of tbe Daily and
Weekly News to Messrs. Husscy and
Jordan, who are now proprietors af that
paper. The paper is still Democratic
in politics, aud will be published is tbe
interests of the whole State.
THE LAIIOKOR IS HOUTIIY
OF
HIM HIKE.
Senator Graham linn introduced in
the Slate Sunate, a bill to reduce tbe
salaries of ike State officials. We sup
pose Ibis was deno to pleiio tho people
who are prcsuued to want their public
servant to bo paid as 1! ill e as possible,
SDiiitoi'. with justice.
We to aro io favor of retrenchment
la every pessiblc way, but at tho same
tine we think that Senator Gruhasn has
net commenced in tho right way. The
Governor's salary is oow only -1009 dol
lars, and with this he his to support
himself and bis family, however
numerous, sod that too, in a stylo befit
ting bis position. II has to entertain
people, and do a thousand other things
vtbicb cast money, and all has to be
paid for out of his salary, and the snme
thing may be said of all the other State
officers.
IT, salaries are to be cut dnwn to tru
amounts which Senator Graham bill pro
poses, tbeo all the elTbes would be in
the bauds of those few who have larg
means of their own, regardless of their
ability or inclination to perform tbe
aumerous duties pertaining t their sev
eral otiices; and those a hose families
are large, and there- are auny of this
kiad, these pior men, and those whose
private incomes are larger than tho re
duced salaries would be, null not ac
cept ofti.-e at all, t'louh they were
tbe ablest and m ist giftcj nun in tho
State an instance of this kind occurred
last summer, when one of his friends re
quested Mr. George Ditis to become a
candidate boforo tho convention for
Domination to 1:10 supreme isjocb. Mr.
Davis had lo decline becauso the in
Come which be derived from the prac
tice of law, was more than tbo salaries
of the Judges, and he could not afford
to lose the diffjrence. Tims by rcnsin
ofsmal.1 salaries tbe Djmocracy of North
Carolina had t forego trio pleasure of
placiog on tbe Su;rem9 Court Hmcb,
one of the bekt lawyers, ono of tbe
ablest men, and ono of the m ist clover
geitlemeo in the S:nte. Ttiis will again
aid a.ai be the case if the salaries are
reduced, and we will have at the hel.n
loose mi) aro not lit lor the place id
any respect, and whv, bavins failed to
socceed, or accunulito any property in
private life, accept oflbo merely to make
a livng. e think our State officers
are paid too little new without cutting
dowa their pay. As wo said in tho out
set we are m favor of retrenchment. We
thiuk every useless office ought to be nbol
ishtfl, and that the proper authorities
ought to be caroful it the expenditures
of the pooplu's mjney and not allow it
to be wasted or sq iaodjred for any un
lawful purpose. Bit the lab rtr is war.
thy of his hire, aad it behooves the L
i)aturr to give tbe question mature de
liberation and not to take any rush step
io regard to it for mere clap-trap, or
sporadic political popularity.
A FA Mi; A I. Aim.
We make no apology for publishing
tho following editorial from the Rich
mond State. Tbe subject ii one of
interest to our rea lors an! we give it in
full:
We are told that coinmunionism has
sprung up ia Amcri.-a und that its
growth has been so rapid that it bas
already gained strength enough, to be
dangerous. We c.vi, however, lind this
to be false if wo oi.ly lake the trouble of
thinking for a nimieut.
N it only ii cumnunisai not threaten
1115 Awcrictn institutions, but it can
lieer harm us whiie wo remain under
our present form of government.
Those who talk oust about ill's im
pending danger are those who, in imagi
nation, transplant a K iropjy) evil into
this couutry. Cjoi uuiiso nny tihow
itself here, but it must be short-lived ;
for it docs not have the same trcatrnoul
in lie Ameiknn republic as in a
European mouorchr. The very Irrc
dom hero that it cm fully enj y is far
worie for it than the hars't meisurcs
that are liken against it in other
countries. Tor communism is a weed,
that if let alone will waste away, but il
ploughed under will, in a short time,
spring up Again in a ranker growth than
before. Communism ia America does
not meet wiin me opposition that i
. necessary to its success ; for the working
class here have no class or lords above
then to excite their envy and no one
yisn poser to oppress them.
Now the poor are jealous of the rich
In every country, and libor ofien thi.ik
luit capital is its enemy; but the
strongest argument against the fear that
, this foelinj will ever give rise to a
dangorous party in this country is tbe
fast thi. capitalists hive i i m is', case)
, ben la'jjrjri, aid tlu'. i: ii jnssiiie
for a laborer to become a capitalist J
We have l,ad strikes, but we shou'd
never confound the strike ith cemtiiun-
mii. ( imnuiiista cin hand togelher
in a national organiz ition because they
attack in common one gre;.t object, the
Government ; but the power of strikes
cannut reach beyond tbe limits of a
towe or a district, because they attack
only a local object, a corporation. Hut
those who look nt the dark side ol
public affairs are always busy hunting
up some new evil that may threaten the
nation, have confounded tho strike with
communism, arc likely to mislead many.
To be sure, both have the same origin,
a desire to oppose a ruling power in the
bope of joining a better way of living;
but after they have left the parent stem
nc can readily mark their diltcrence;
for communism attains immense pro
portions before it is cut down, while
the strike has a fitful life which is sooo
ended.
Tbe strike should not bo mistaken for
commiaism when there as such excel
lent examples to be found in other
countries which show how these two dis
turbers of order differ from each ether,
and bow the difference depends upon
the ol'j"d which is sought alter by each.
We have only to review briefly the
condition of several counties at times
when they were put to the test, in order
to uueVrstenrl this. We have beard of
strikes in Kngland every year as En
gland has been rapidly sinking to her
present distress, hut we have heard noth
ing nf communism ; for, although the
fact that a great part ol tho population
look to the factories for a living makes
probable, the fact that the form of gov
ernment is liberal makes communism
impossible.
On the ether hand, communis rose
in Trance at a time whea the shoulders
of the people were still smarting from
the burden of the Umpire, bringing
bloodshed to the land ; and even now io
Germany where the people are deprived
of freedom of speech and are weighed
down by heavy taxation communism is
only waiting for a chance to rise up and
overturn the Government.
In all countries oppression makes
communism thrive, and without oppres
si'iu comma lisni cannot thrive.
In the lVited States we need have no
fear nf this evil. Wo should not allow
our interest in reading of the commun
ism which springs up under monarchies
to make tis believe that it is about to
bring ill to our Republic. The cry that
communism threatens us comes from e
party that wish to lift Grant into the
presidential chair on the plea that we
need "a strong government." It is de
plorabje to see how mnoy weak-kneed
people are being deluded by this trick,
until they quako with tho fear of an
evil that can uover molest them.
It really seems rather ridiculous to
fnd men sunnj us who can be terrified
with nursery stnricB about the Giant
Commuhisrn and tho valiant knight
Ulysses who will slay him.

Wi. have only one rrgret to express
is regard to the election of Governor
Vance to the U.ii ted States Serate from
North Carolina ; and that is, that he
cannot inheiit his seat at once, to tuko
part ia the pending debute on the EJ.
munds resolutions, and in that on the
proposition to unseat General Butler.
If Vance did not say something worth
hearing on those two occasions, if the

There is to be a period of general
judgment. Suppose this the lime of its
announcement. It is sabbath evening.
You are seated here quietly io the
church (some are standing near the
door.) Our little ones ore at borne.
Tho gas is burning brightly in our par
lors, nnd shortly the servants expect iu
obedience to tho bell to open the doors
and let us in. Oar bouses of business
are clesed, but few persons are on the
streets, end sooa the watchman expects
to be on his nightly round. The front
doors aad windows ef our liquor saloons
are closed for il is the Sabbath but
a closer inspectioa will reveal the light
gleaming obliquely through tbe window
shutters, and angularly striking the
pavement Why? The back doors are
open, or sjir, and now debiiechcrs are
passing and repassing steuhhily along
the alleys.
Tbe sick maa across the street is
turoing himself in the bed from uneasy
slumber; some of our cit'ztns are st
homo reading the news; some are io
back rooais poring over the ledgers;
some ore asleep ; the mother in Israel,
unable to be hero to-night, has jusl
dropped upon her knees by the bedside
to thank God for another Sabbath, and
to say a prayer and drop a tear for her
wicked boy while alone the shadow of
the walls libertines are creeping to tbe
brothel. Ojr wharves are lonely to
night, and tho river b.-ecz! sighs gently
around the tapering masts of the anchor
ed schooners, and our boats cabled at
iheir landings rise and fall with the wave
which glitters ia tbe cold starlight and
murmurs around their bulls. The
tombstones of our neighboring cemeter
ies, the . steeples and walls ol our
churches, the dome of Ihe distant capi
tol. look C ild and pray io the lickt of
the November roona, and the old Po
tomac paved with silvery shcei rolls on
grandly and proudly to tbe sea.
Uit, hark I what s:iuad is that so
unearthly, supernatural, and strange so
fur away yet so sonorous, clear, and
piercing which makes nature sick, and
makes the blond creep cold in our veins,
and seeds a peculiar sbucr along our
nerves, and stops the breath for a mo
ment? What makes the eirth grow
nnd quake so and why aro tbe grave
yards shaking, the mountains overturn-
ltiff. tbe craves rending and why are
the ngc-d persons around us suddenly
growiog youthful? Irembh.ig and bor
ror-stricken let us go to the door and
Bee Rat ah I we are spared the trouble,
the ground heaving has split the church
Ironi tbe Inundation to root, and I utli -g
np rt the naked sky is above us. Why
look up I See that angel coming, bright
as a star, bis piuittas extending aud
shading tho firmament, his beautiful
form miroied in the concave depths oT
the ethereal blue, or rather pictured in
hi"h relmf upon a back ground of deep
est azure, before whsse glory the blush
ing and affrighted niooi is running from
its orbit, and tumbling down ihe west to
svme Hesperian cavo to h'Je itself
coming and sounding the trump ef
Judgment.
Hear you Ike sepulchral, uproarious
and horrible bowlings of some hideous-
throated monster beaeath your feet? It
is the ghastly king of tho dead, mau's
destroyer, being throttled and chained
by tbe Angel of the resurrection ia his
last fortified den, paved with human
bones, japanned wilh human gore, and
lelid witb -unman corruption. Hear you
that deep and hollow crashing, which
seems to shiver through tbo globe? It
is the noise ol Death s falling temples,
aad the downfall of his empire. Bit 0,
look around you I every street, every
alley, every bill, every valley, every
mountain, every plain is crowddd
crowded and still they come. Tbe
very dust beneath us is Stirling wilh life.
The very plaats and trees are dissolving
and their particles are appropriated by
human bodies which take their places.
Ihe last rose el summer milts nwnv in
the lovci's band, and the dissolved du-l
is claiming by the rising babe, or risiug
and juvenated age all the dead are
risinc. lie still, mother, your child is
not left behind. Re still, old man, your
wife is coming. ' De still Eorrow-strickro
orphanage, vour parents have broken
their cerements and are alive again.
Rut see, tbe vast crod is thrown into
mighty cowmotion. Suddeuly, millions
are gaziug upwards, while millions more
are trve to clamber back into their
prnves, aud pull tho cold warble over
them nsain. Ry why such commotion?
Look up I The sky is parted like a sun
dtred scroll, the edges of both firma-
mental hemispheres folding over wid
eniug tho rent, aid an awful throne
rolling upon fiery wheels down a pave
tccr.t cf sunbeams tided unj ham
raered as solid as the streets of heaven,
is coming coming quicker than an
electric (lash, tea thousand lightnings
careering and turning and playing be
fore it, and flanked by angels, whose ex
iremest wings fun two horizins, and
fallowed by a train of seinpliiois whose
rear legions are still tramping over the
threshold of heaven. Stars, terrified,
darting out of the track of the descend
ing throne, and flying away into the
tuuiky void; while the sun on the other
tide of the world is daxzlcd by the dis
tant glory and veils his face in sack
cloth. Look up I for every eye shall
see Him see Jesus "see the Son of
nun com'og io the clouds of heaven,
with power aud grtat glory."
Rit, amazing I the at throng is ibiu
rting : this congregation is growing less
the civet are leaving us behind.
Where are they going? They are
going to meet Hire. Hash I what shout
is that? All space echoes it. Ah I they
have met God's entire family angels
descending, and llhristiirit ascending;
and their thunder greetings, and earth's
welcome or its coming King, shakes
the universe. Rut wonder of winders!
where is the earth, whose dear sod we
1 have tr .'d from infancy, and from wh;se
maternal bosom we have extricated our
lives? The solid world has rolled from
beneath our feet, and left us standing is
space; and yonder it goes along its
orbit, every volcano bellowing, every
continent blazing, every rock melting,
torn wilh fires and wrapped witu Dames
having emptied its head into the Up
of the judgment, and now groaning witb
the birthlhroes of a new epoch. It has
gone and left us is tbe presence of the
dread Jud,;e of the quick and the dead,
ornbahlv as it runs its circuit to pass in
sight a thousand times before the Judg
ment closes.
Calvary's roign is over, and Siaai is
re-solhroned. The Gospel has hung his
trumpet upon the horns of heaven's
altar, giving back tho seal of pardon to
ChrUt, tbe purchaser aad owner, but
bow the unpnrdoniog ; aud without a
savior, mediator, or atonement, wo must
be judged by the great moral law of the
oniverse us and all the angels, too ; a
law requiring .perfect Holiness, Justice,
Goodness and Truth, and if we have
failed in the perfection required, though
tbe failures be so small as only to be
discernablo by tho eye of tho infiuite
Judge, and the bonk ef mediation re
veals aot an actual atonement ana
actual pardon for the future ia ques
tion, we and they arc finally and eter
nally ruined. The parJon in question
may be obtained now by faith, but the law
is not made void thereby, but is the rule
of life, aad the rule of the Judgment.
