The history of our country shows that when ever a ea lamitv overtakes a community and there is "human saffering, the comma , nities not afflicted stand' ready to help.

Over two hundred persons are known to have been killed and wounded in the several riots that have thn's far occurred;, and In Pitts burg and vicinity alone the destruc tion 1 of property amounts to over eleven million dollars. The damage to the trading interests of the coun try is incalculable, and already pro visions in some of the cities are be ginning to advance. This last item will but increase the sufferings of the poor. - Passion appears to be master Of the situation. Bat this should not be allowed. Men should exercise their reason and 'judgment. They must know, if they will only reflect, that the wild scenes of disorder now progressing throughout - the North can only result in ..disaster to r?ll classes and conditions of men, and to all sections of our common country. Let reason resume its sway. Let men think calmly and! justly. Let law and order and peace take the place of anarchy and striie and bloodshed. It is quite certain that the strike has become a mob a mob, too, animated- by the - worst passions and most pitiless proscription. ' In Louis-' ville, the Communists, -not satisfied with wreaking.? their vengeance on" the offenders against whom they cher ished - hostile feelings, went into the streets upon which stand the pri vate residences of ,yie wealthy, and .. rocked and battered them.

This is well worth pondering. We quote a suggestive paragraph wbicb we commend to our readers, from an other New York paper, the World: ; "The workingmen of the country will be naturally moved to sympathize with the laborer in what they regard as his efforts to secure a fair rate of wages, but no class can less afford than the workingmen to drift into sympathy with rioters and trans-; gressors of the law. No matter how strongly workingmen in other occupations may: have approved the position of the employes of the railroad corporations when they ! first struck, all such fellow-feeling ought now to be set aside. The moment mob violence and insurrection became ele ments in the controversy, the question ceased to be one between capital and labor and became onabetwecn law and anarcny." THE REDUCTION OF WAGES. ; There is scarcely any doubt that the : reduction in the wages of most of the employes of the Northern roads has been very considerable. , . , .1 , . ; enough to make their pay : less, in . ' . 1 . e i A'- some instances, than the cost of liv- Some months ago the pay f the hands : on the Baltimore & Ohio railroad, was reduced seventy-five cents a day. According to a tele gram jri-the N. Y. Herald : 'The employes throughout the country claim that not long since their wages were reduced from $2 25 and $2 to $1 75 and $1 50, which they stood without a murmur, but that now, in addition to the proposed reduction of ten per cent., they are not al lowed to make but fifteen days in a month. This, they say, will not furnish them with the barest means of subsistence. For ex ample, fifteen days at $1 35 per day is $20 25; board is, at the lowest estimate, 25 cento per meal; thirty days at 75 cents is $22 50; tliswojg them in debt $2 25 : per month for board aTOuTb.ey also claim that the company will find.it -o-hij job to find men to fill the places of the presL- pmnlovea. and lose thousands of dollars by month for board aio employing inexperiencea uauua. jjc firemen and brakemen employed in . .

When the Rebellion began in his State which contains more downright wickedness and ras cality in its borders than any other of the thirty-eight the Governor of the Buck-tails was way out in Wyo ming. His representative the .Go vernor pro tempore began at once the work of subjugation, but the fiery rebels would not down at his bidding. Reading of riot-acts, proc lamations, throwing of turf, nor the hurling of stones served to quell the tumult or dislodge the rebellious boys in the sour-apple-trees. J.We quote from the Richmond Dishdtch: "Militia and volunteer soldiers, with the spirit of Fenn throbbing in their hearts, went forth to meet the strikers, and to do or die. They met, and the conflict resulted variously in different cases. The comely and well-fed soldiers, in some cases, ran; in others, dodged, and in others, surren dered. They had no idea of imperilling their lives in an impulsive dash, but put themselves where the danger would be as mild as convenient, and took care that it was not defied. The mob took care of some that, were in the most exposed places! ' Others were anxious lest their pacific dis positions should .be misinterpreted, and hurried forward messages Jinviting the irate mob to come'and take possession of them, they were impatient to surrender. Indeed, the mob moved so slow that there was more time for. expectation than they could endure, and they inconveniently fled up the river, seeking cover amongst the hospitable bushes that humanely spread meir twiaue over mem. . ; .. . , Never before "were such deeds of bravery, such heroic displays wit nessed.

That light saddle re adjustment of the public debt that he carries so easily, has enabled him to pass the other nags, and it looks how as if he will gain the stand ahead of all competitors. The jrFAi, which goes it very strong for Mahonc, puts the debt question in this terse way: ; "There are only three ways, let the dem agogues muster as they may. One is to raise the taxes, the other is t6 repudiate, and the other is to readjust., Those who Oppose readjustment must favor one or the other pf the former remedies."

It was impossible. that any healthful and intelligent respect should attend auiove'ment, whatever its provocations, which became at tended with conditions of bloodshed, lawlessness and destruction of pro perty. Labor has its rights, but among these is not the right of interference with the rights of others. No preju? dice would ever be felt against the ef forts of the unfortunate under-paid to redress their wrongs and secure justice at the hands of their employers, ex cept for the excesses into which either excitement or wrong-headed, leaders hurry men whose original! motives deserved not sympathy only, but countenance and aid.

' In fact, it is evident from the con duct of tho mobs at Pittsburg and elsewhere that the demonstration has passed from a labor movement to a mad communistic expression of the deviltry of the lowest classes of our dense population, aggravated by the general depression, and emboldened by the rebellious mood of the first stratum above of respectable labor ers.
