THE COMMUNE IN RICHMOND. An Incident of the Rebellion. Washington Star. Maj. John M. Dautel, of Virginia, gives the following graphic account of the appearance aud operations of Communists in Ricninond dur- ing the Rebellon, und how they were suppress- cd: When Harper's Ferry was captured at the beginning of the War, all the available machin- ery for the manufacture of arms was taken to Richmond. Hunderds of workmen. aud their wives and daughters had been emploved in the arsenals and machine shops, and they foliowed the machinery to the Capital in searcliof cemploy- They ot it. Fur atime they were reg- ¢ paid in good suoncy, and- everything moved smoothly. Butas the currency depre- ciated they began to suffer. The money recci ed by the workmen would not support their families. As the War prozressed Confederate notes Lecame almiost valueless. Grant had his hana ou the throat ot the Confederacy at L'eters- burg. The wages of the workmen would not purchasc food fok their families. “They protest- B but n vain. They were too patriotic 10 organize a revolution. ~Therr women, however, furmed a et society based on Comtuunistic principles. They seeméd to have held that their husbands were working for the Confederse and that the Confederacy was the only safety of e grocers uud shopkeepers. Without clothing sud provisions their husbands and éons miust top work. This would cut off necessary muni- tions and supplies, the Goverment would falt, and_all be tnvolved in ove common. rum. To avoid this, a geveral division of ' foud aud cloth- ing wust’ be made. The wives and daughters of laborers aud mechanics througheut the Capital generally joined in the movement. While standing in Main street one morning the Major witnessed an extraordinary seene. Jundreds of wowen sudaenly appeared. The Broad avenue ¥as tilled with them. They came filing in from the cross streets by platoons and began _to sack the stores. Hollow-eved and sraunt “with hunger, nobody dared re: them. A crowd of men hung upon the outskirts, offer- ing no interference and expressings no sympathy for the shopiecvers. The women touk the stores in line, oue after the othier. They pro- cecded systematically. The goods were piled Qipon wagons drawn by horses driven by female sympathizers. Not a word wus spoken. The work was done with terr When the mob entered 2 grocery a certain percentace of them piled up Lhé Zoods upon the outstretel- ed armsof theothiers, and they were horne to the*streets and dumped 1uto the ws The women had it ull their own way. soldiers wor police were in sight. ~ My the crowd inereased. Other women heard what Wwas goinr on aud flocked to Main strect for u share of the plunder. Not a man joived them, and for a long time no one made iin eflort 1o stop them. At last Conere nan Baldwin, of YVirginia, jumped unoa a dry-oods box and made an_impassioned appeal for the law and order. He mizht as well have talked to the wind. No one paid the least attention to bim. The swomen went on with their sacking, and the bystanders drowned Baldwin's voice with their whoons and cheers. “\While 1 was zazing at the scene,” said the Major, I saw a Captain of an Alabuma cavalry reziment, with whom 1 had a stight acquaintance. We were both in uniform. We agreed that something ought to be doue to restorcorder and stop the robbery. At hissuggestion we stativl- cd ourselves at the door of a store aircady over- run. 1u a few seconds a virago tried to pass us. I can sce hier no Her checks and lips were Ted, but she had a piached, starved look, and an eve likke a haw She carried in her arms a b dozen bars of vellow s0ap, a piece of dress silis, a long bos of ‘stockings, aud some raisins and forgetting vour: You have not paid for them, and you will not be permitted to leave this store with them.” ~¢She looked at e, said the Major, “in [x wild war, a5 though eadeavoring tocomprehend what I had said, and then went to the coun and threw down the goods. As she came b she deliberately took me by the arm and slung me from her with such force that 1 went svin- ning around like a top, and struck the {ront of the building =0 hard that it took the breath out of me. She then quicily gatbered up her load from tbe counter and walked out. The Alabam Captain looked at me and laughed, but kept lis hands in Lis pockets and said nothing. I told him I thought we were out of place and bLe noaded. wWe concluded after that to remain simole spectators. Meanwhile the women were approaching the Jews' quarter. The Hebrews were credited with ereat wealth. It was said that they had made barrels of mones outof the Confederacy, and the female Communisrs went at themn out u qualm of- conseience. Moses and Isaac, however, had heard what was going on ‘above and tried to protect themselves. They put up shutters, barricaded their doors, ran up- hed the proceedings from the second story wind But the women were not. dismaved. While some of them ran for axes, others found a lonz piece of scantling and used it as a battering ram. The first door flew open, amid the cheers of the outsiders, followed Ly a wail of sorrow from the Jews, *“Oh, mine Kott! mine Kott! T ish ruined! Iishruined!” +as the cry. - But they made no further defense. Indecd, it would have been dungerous for them to attemp?, it, for if one of the female robbers had been hurt, the crowd of husbands and ‘brothers would surely have avengzed it. “And so,” said the Major, “the spoliation continued. At last a rumor ran throuch the street, “the Governor is coming.’ It proved true. Down the itill came Gov.

THE SPRING EXODUS. The first day of May, which 13 everybody's mov- ing day, is past, and there aré more houses labeled +To Let” thanjhavcbeen seen before fn Milwaukee for many years at this season. Rents are at least 10 per cent lower than last year, and houses arc better. tho old ones being repaired and jmproved and new ones being crected with ull the modern convenicnces, and yet the tenantless dwellings are too numerouns not to eseite remark. There bas Dbeen a large number of new houses erected in the city during the past three years, but not more, it \was generally believed, than was necessary to sup- pl¥ the ever-increasing demand that is made oy the aunnal additions to our population, €0 that the rea- son mi be fonnd in another direction for these empty houses, ‘There bas undoubtedly been an exodus here during tue last winter and sprime that has relicved the city of a considerable portion of its population. A number of natural canses have conspired o bring about this result. “Fhie hard times, the scarcity of work, the mcressed expense of living fna city as compared with the country, are all_faclors in_the problem of life. Making all due allowance, therefore, for the nat- ural addition to the inbabitants by immigration, there still remaing the fact that oot population i3 Jess y 5,000 0r €,000 souls thap it was in 1877, Eut this i% not an wnwixed evil; indeed, except to the few hundreds of landlords whore houses will stand empty for a while, and who will be deprived of rents Lo pay taxes with, the departure of a ce tain class of people for the country is a nopeful sigm from on economic standpoint. The eity is benwfited by ceiting rid of a surolus population that it caunot afford to feed 1n idleness by the hand of charity, and which it cannot give work to because there is mothing to do. On the other hand, the country needs their lubor, and hes sur- plus food enough to fced them to fatness. The unczey and dissatisfied Commonist who is out of work, out of bread, out at the elbows, and out of Lumor with the ways of the world, and who sits about the #alvons and corner wroceries fomenting jealoustes among different classes, would be mucl better off if he Were away In the country, holding the plow or driving 2 breaking team.

A RELIGIOTS DROUGHT. A most remarkable raligions drought has prevail- ed among all the Milwau churches during the past six months. The winter season is generally the one selected for revivals, and for that spirit- ual barvest that sends a crop of converts into the nary of the different denominations; but no refreshing gcason has been experienced, —at Jeast the customary **protracted meetings™ have not been inauzurated in a gingle evanzelical chureh during the year. Not that Milwaukee does not contain able, and zealous, and deeply religious ers; mot that the churches are empty or rent to the canse of the Master; not that practical relizion is dying ont for want of ndher- ents, —for we hare all this and more; but the oid ethod of ‘‘geiting religion™ amid the excite- ment and uproar of a crowded assemblage i ting out of fashion. Superstition and Tear. those v0 great factors which were used with gnch suc- inney, Dirchard, Hammond, Van Cott, 5 Eaving souls, have lost much their power, and are being supplanted reason, und an - calizhtened com- mon scnse. The * tactics of the priests must be changed. Men can be reasoned into join- ing a Caarch, but they can no lonzer be frizhtened infoit, Even the Methodist Churches bere, that can raise steam when nobody clse can, have becn as cold as the rest, and the wiole crowd of them have been praying fora spiritnal shower that hna failed to come. Nor 13 therc any occasion to Tament this state of thii The old re;ime was one of fire and brimstone; of endless hell and a belief that you onsht tobe damned before you could be fit to be saved. Dut all thatis fast fading out of the public mind with the growth of intel- lizence, justasa chuld’s bellef in the existence of Santa Clans fades before the light of mature reason. Faith and beller, once held g0 prominent in the necessary fests of & religious profession, are made to take their pleg below the utility of vractial Christian worthaud work. And here in Milwaukee 1he churches may not resound with rroans and bellowings from the anxious seat or amen corner, nor will a man witness the writh- inzs of some’ peor victim who has been scized with the ‘-power,” yet he will, hear from the pulpit the aivantazes of ‘a bet- for life, and the repulsivencss of n_bad one portrayed with convincice eloguence, carnestness, and power. Or, if he will look into the daily lives and condnct of theac Christian men and women who compuse thae congregations, Lo will find them engrossed with some kud of work that lics in the dircct line of duty to their fetlows as marked out by thelr Master, whom they love and are try- ing to serve. So that in the change from religious zeal and fanaticism—not eatirely free from the errors of ignorance and euperstition—to_u more goher view of life and its obligations,” both the professors and the world at large have been the gainers, That law of the survival of the fittest may e applied to_methods of relizions culture and worship as well as to other evidences und forms of progression. The Wi opened with an intense excitement among the politicians of all ages, scxes, and partics over the confirmation of Mayor Black's nominces for the heads of departments. The names had veen sent in o weel before to tihe Com- mon Council, and. aftor 8 week’s stew, the first business of that body on Monday afternoon was to reject or confirmm them.

Mr. Black was confronted with the admis- »ions of his own insngural address, in which he unwvittingly boasted of the efiiciency, experience, snd faithfalness of the very men whom he propozed to decapitate; but his answer was that these men had been in office a lonz time: that the new nomi- nees were capable and wel! qual:fied for the posi- tions; that achange would be salutary in theline of reform; that he had railed the flag to the mast and should not back down, 1f the quarrel between the oppusing sections of the Democratic party was vio- lent aud bitter, it was still more acrimonious und intense beiween the Tepublicans and the Mayor's cupporters. Some of the tt-for-1at Qebates on the sircet corners and In places of public resort were remarkable for their candor and directuese, and the amount of truth-told about each othier wad altogether unparalleled. —For instance, when a Republican opened re by denouncing tha ayor's adherents as the ** bummer element * und “‘the ringsters,” and by asserting that Black's *¢clean sweep *'was In direct opposition to Civil- Service reform, he was promptly answered that Civil-Service reform had not heen” the zpecial de- fight of Republicans in this city; and the inquiry was warmly pressed whether the removal of Gen. Hamilton, as United States Marshal, aud the ep- polntment of Fink, was not made on purpose to propitiate the German element, 2nd aid the waning fortunes of Senator tlowe?! Or if the removal of & C. West,—n model Postmaster, everybody enid, —and the appointment of Payne, was the kind of reform_needed? Or if the changes in the Custom- Houve had ever been mude for anv other reuson than that the good of the purty and not the rood of the service requirea it? And as for defalcations und malfeasance in oftice, # elight reference to the wholeeale perjury, (raud, and oficial corruption of the Government officers connected with the whisky raid upon the revenue was quite suflicient toend the debute or suddenly change the subjed These conversations were decidedly svicy, and convinced the unprejudiced listener that 1t 15 not safe to throw stones {rom a glass house. But the szony is now all over, the Mayor's ap- pointments have all been confinned, czcept the Chief of the Fire Department, who declimed; but the excliement has now taken anothar form. Last weel It wax purely political; this week it is larzely religions. Last week everybody took a hand in the free fizht: this week the German daly press are at it hotter than ever. And o8 a religious war i pro- verbially more crael and_unrelenting than any othier sort of a war, accordin to all history, so this aspect of tlie campaign is characierized by the ex- plogion of intellectral boomerangs, editorial tor- pedoer, and all the pomp and circumstance of zlorjous war. 1t is now discovered that the Catho- ic Church has its potent finger in the business, and that all of Black's appoiitments, except ' Dr. Wight, are Catholics. The See- #ote and the Han- ner are supgoéed to oe published in the Cathoifc interest, and of course support Black, whilethe 2/¢r- old, independent, and the Gernania, Republican. vehemently onpose him. In yesterday's fssne of the Germania—a paper cdited with unusnal ability and discretion—it puts its two German daily antag- onists, the Sce-Hote and the Banner, upon the spit and toasts thejn with the following interrogutories, to which it asks for caterorical answers: “*Are not John Llack, Mayor, and James S, White, City Comptroller, who now run the city machine, Roman Carholics? Isit mota fact that all of the new appointments, except Wight, are Roman Catholics? Isit aota fact that Foley, wuom the Mayor intends to promote to be Chiel Ensincer of the Fire Department, isa Koman Catholic? 1Is it not a fact that all efforts are makinz to flll Ke nedy's place in the House of Corrcciion Wi Roman Catholict Is it mot afact that there are lots and conspiracies being concocted to displace Mr. MacAlister as Superintendent of Schools and appoint a Roman Catholic in his plac Up to date neither the Sanner nor. the See-Bote Dhas been heard from.

Let us hope that they will come to an amicable understanding by the shedding of a reuonable amount of printer’s nk, instead of imbruing each other’s hands in a Lrother's lager beer. TIE NATIONAL GAME, Ttis a serions question whether the national game of Lase-ball is not fostering more viciousn: in the plastic minds of young men, and productive of more wickedness, than gembling, or borse-rac- ing, or billiard-playing, or all combined. It is well understood awong the kuowing ones that games are often £old, that the best clubs do mot always win when a job, os well as money, is put up, and that betting among the youns men is 2 practice as universul as wheat-gambling is among ihe men. Betting on horse-races is not a very dangerous vice, because the opportunity for its indulzence rarely occurs, and other forms of gambling of a semi-basiness nature require too much money to be within the reach of fmpecn- nious young men under 20 years of ages but a few doilars can always be spared from a bos’s pocket- money to bet on his favorite club. And the young gicls lend azest to the pame, not ouly by their presence, but by betting a pair of gloves or some other trifle of the toilet that costs bur little und yet baeta the incipient desire to take a risk where the outcon is an unknown quantity. Another feature of this all-prevailing vice has just shown itself in Miiwaukee. To the sin of killing a large amount of valusble time ana the wickedness of betting on the result, they now pro~ pose the crime of Sabbath-breaking. The follow- ing notice appeared yesterday morning in one of our city daily newspavers: Tix CiANIION Dovs' CLUm.~The Maple Leaves B. B.

Information comes from a strictly reliable private source that, late in the coming summer, cx-Gov. Falrchlid will resizn his Liveroool Con- sulateand returnto these shores for the express purpose of gong into training for the United States Scnate, in place of Towe, This will be interest- fng vewe for Repablican politicians, though by no ‘means a weicome bit of ntelligence to Mr. Mowe. Gen. Fairchild erved one term s Secretary of State, and three terms as Governor of Wisconsin, a distinction never enjoyed by any except himsel (. and_Teft the Executive office one of the most pop- ular men that ever flled it. lis candidacy for 1he Tnited States Senate will be likely to_complicate matters somewhat, and will probanly uarrow xome of the chances that scveral aspirants thought they «aw in the distant futare for themselves. 1f Fair- chili really enters the lists, it will_trouble the po- litical provhets to say who will come out ahead, and a discreet_man had better confine himself to guessing who will not be choscn. Unless the tide of popular feeling turns suddenly and begins to ow the other way, Semutor Howe will dppear to better advantace by mot,allowing his mame to go before - the Legislature 1tis generally c: vected that Gov. Smith hus his eye on Howe's scat. and will appear in the race as the specinl fricnd and_ supporter of the President’s Southern and finaacial policy. _On these issues hie would he strong as against llowe, und negatively also us asainat the position of Senator Cameron, who i3 understood to_antagonize the President in res to some aspects of the reconstruction question. Fairchild has been abroad durin the past five years, and bas consequently kept_himself clear of all entangling allances, He wili not enter the raco haadicsuped with having advocated any un- popular measures, but will be able to point to a patriotic record in_ the Union army and six years of Lonest scevice in the Gubernatorial ofiice as substantial reasons for asking the suffraces of his fellow-cttizens. His popularity with the old sol- diers who put down the fzebellion is well remera- bered. and that element of the Repablican party would support him to the last. i The other candidstes now talked of are the o, Phiietus Sawyer, the 1o, Horace Rublee, Jndge Dser, and Gen. C. C. Wasnburn, with several dirk horses to turn up at the proper thae. JOURNALISTIC. The long-talked-of consolidation of the two ‘English Democratic papers in this city, the News and Commercial Times,—both dailics, —has at last taken place. The Zimes ceascs to exist alter tarce years of the most persistent strugzle on the part of its proprictor, and the vlaces that have knowa it will know it no more forever. Not so, howerer, with its indefatigable and talented yonng projeetor, Henry A. Chittenden, Jr. le goes into the con- solidated News, owninz a quarter interest, ns one of the editors und proprietors, with 4 £ood record behind him and a bright future hefore him. e ia agradaate of Yaie, has traveled extensively in Enrope, has heen liberalized and widened by close ktudy and obscrvation, and his_journalistic train- ing and experience have placed hm in the front rank of his chosen profession, He is a credit to any newspaper, and if the News does not flourish with such accomplished heads in its_aifferent departments. it i3 in vain that any efforts be made to sustain a first-rate Denio- cratic daily paper in Milwankee. There isbut one danger shead; that is in placing too much re- liance upon the patronago of the Democratic party to build it up. The varty in Alilwaukee is uoto- rionsly ‘stupid and_ stingy,—speaking in seneral terms and with certain mental reservations, —and when bad manazement is added to these draw- backs, Itisin & (air way to speedily become ex- tinct. The State might have eagily been earried for Tilden tivo yearsago if vnly the ordinary blun- ders of the Deinocratic manazers hat been com- mitted, but they outdid themselves and aided tne Rugnbliu\na more by the errors they were guilty of then the former uained by their own dis- Cretion. But to return to the News. If the pres- ent proprictors will conduct their business’upon the theory that it is honest, and entitled to succesd . because it i8 right, precisely as men would condnct a grocery Atore or a mercantile establisiment, giv- ing evers man the value of his money, and placivg mo’relinnceon pifts, subsidies, public printinz, or anything of a similar nature, their succees will be assured. They have a fine field to cultivate, and the strongest motives that can possivly influence men to improve it. FINANCE AND TRADE. Moderate Demand for Discountse=-A Light Currency Move- ment.

The leading produce markets were rather quiet Satarday in the aggregate, though there was a fair volume of trading in wheat and corn towards the middle of the session. There was less change in prices than usual, except that wheat declined ¢ carly, and both wheat and corn ruled rather firm after a touch of weakness at the ontset. The freigating business was dull till near the close,and then became active. The foreign advices did not indicate any great variution there, the private cables being ratber firmer than the public reports on wheat, while good corn was in demand, with inferiorcorn neglected. Ly the way, doubts were expressed 1n regard to the statement that corn is arriving 10 Great Britain in worse condition than js usual at this scason of the year. Dry goods were again quoted quiet, and fa other respects also the market was withont perceptible chanze. Groceries met with & very liberal share of attention, and the drm acd steady tone hereto- fore noted way azain a feature of the market. Coffecs, teas, and sugars were the most active, and displayed the most strenzth. In the butter market there was the same position of affairs as on the preceding days of the week, "trade continuing sluggish and prices ruling weak and variable. Cheese remains unsettied. the terdency still being downward, In the dricd-froit and fish markets little that is mew was noted. Trade in lcather, baggluz, tobbacco, coal and wood continues very quiet. Olls, paints, and colors werein fair demand at former quotations. The yard lumber market continues active at the . current prices. The demand is chiedly fordry stuff. Orders are pomring In from the coantry west of the Mississippi, and the demand bids fair 10 continue xood throughout the season, as the <cupply of lumber in the uoper river district ie ehort, while more than the usual quantity will be required in the newly settled sections of the West. The cargo market was moderately active Saturday at a lower range of prices. Thae wool, hop, hide, and broom-corl markets were guiel. Seeds were inactive. Iay was in little better request and steady. Green fruits sold freely, berries beinga. shade firmer, Poultry and exgs were steady. Lake [reizhts were active (chiefly near the close of the session) at unchanged figures, the basis being 3¢ for corn and 3%c for wheat by sail to Buffalo.
