PES matter by consuming all the manure of the on their lands and converting it into good fat cabbages, delicate celery, mealy potatoes and succulent asparagus.

Riorine ty MississtpP1.—On Monday, in the town of Meridian, Miss., while a negro was on trial for incendiarism, a negro friend shot and killed the presiding J stice. Then a general mélée ensued, the crowd of spectators, as usual in Mississippi, being weighted with revolvers, and the two negroes were killed. Then the Sheriff called a posse together and commenced a general arrest of negroes, in the course of which four more negroes were killed. Then, to cap the whole affair and, we fear, disclose a Ku Klux cloyen foot too plainly, the Mayor, a Northern man, _ was put on board a Northern train by a citizens’ safety committee and ordered never to returo. It always turas out in these wild scenes down South that nearly all the killed are negroes, and yet the white men claim all our sympathy in view of the terrible anarchy that negro equality is bringing on the country. While such outrages as those upon the negroes in York county, South Carolina, and in Alamance county, North Carolina, reported by our Southern correspondents this morning, con- tinue, we cannot fail to look upon a cruel, bloody-minded Ku Klux as a thing of reality in the South.

THE WEATHER REPORTS. OBSERVERS OFFICE, SIGNAL SERVICE UNITED STATES ARMY, New York, March 7, 1871. fo THR EDITOR OF THE HeRaLy:— fam directed by the Chief Signal OMicer of the Army to inform you that the present suspen- sion of weather reports is due to the un- willingness of the Western Unton Telegraph Company to continue, until further negotia- tion, the transmission of the reports upon the plans hitherto arranged, the period of four months, for which original agreement was made, having elapsed. No effort on the part of the War Depart- ment has been wanting to prevent, by every means in its power, apy cessation of reports for even a sin- gle day, or to provide for such negotiations as should assure their continuance. Sufficient appropriations have been made by Congress, with every apparent disposition to favor and extend the duty. ‘The re- ports are taken at the regular hours by the observ- ers at the different stations, and the sole cause of in- terruption is the want of telegrapnic facl.ities, These the War Department have not been able for the moment to procure.
