Christian association; young mems Christian
union; temporary home; a humane society;
and society TO prevent cruelty to animals. Be-
sides these there all the state reformatory nsti-
tutions and hospitals, the aims houses, the
overseers of the poor, and the numerous societies
and asylums for the relief Of soldiers and sea-
men. More than this, there are 142 churches
with their sewing schools, and sewing societies
for the help of the poor, yet the calls upon pri-
vate charity are constant and pressing. Poverty
in city is terrible thing, and seems always
10 keep abreast of, ifnot to gain upon the efforts
made TO relieve it. l have seen bright Amer-
can woman to-day, whose husband was killed in
the war, and who has supported herself and
four young children by sewing. She makes
overalls at eighty cents a dozen, for firm on
Milk street, and is obliged to sew them by hand
as no machine work is allowed; business being
dull, there was nothing for her to do; three of
her children were sick with measles, she was
without food, fuel Or light, and had gone out
not to beg, but to get work. In any country
town she would have had friends and help, but
the loneliness of the city added even to the bur
den of her poverty. 1t is an old story, |
know, but it needs to be told over and over
again, to make us remember the wants of those
who never beg.

About ten days ago, our telegraphic dis
patches gave an incoherent account of riots and
murders in Meridian Mississippi. The state
ment was in substance that large fire had &C.
Cured there some days before, that a negro was
on trial in the city court, charged with being
the lncendiary, and that while the trial was in
progress, negro shot the presiding Judge
bram!ette, upon which a riot ensued, eight or
zen negroes were shot, MIR. Sturges, the mayor
oil the city, native of Connecticut, left the
place az midnight by order of the mob, with q
promise never TO return, and the series of crimes
was wound up by the burning of the house of
another negro and the African church This
story, while it left no doubt that the town had
been the scene of riot'and outrage, in which the
negroes and their friends were the principal su(-
terers, gave very obscure account of the origin
of the disturbances, with the implication that
the colored people were responsible for them.
The well known bias of the agents of the asso-
claied press in that quarter, however, was a suf-
bcient assurance that the guilt of the negroes
would not be left to implication, if the facts
would IN any way allow of its being charged d.
rectly upon them.

| that the negroes had.uttered incendiary speech
es. Mayor Sturges says nothing about fire,
and the incendiarism charged against these men
appears to have consisted in words only, and
not in deeds, as the press dispatch stated. They
were arrested and brought to trial Mr.. Sturges
was present during part of the trial, and saw
men assembling about the court house armed
with guns. He saw no weapons among the nc
groes, and is sure they were not armed He be-
lieves that a shot aimed at a negro, killed Judge
Bramlette But before the firing began the
mayor had taken refheei from the coming storm
in the garnet of his brothers house. Here he
heard the shots, ".tllei cries of mourners, the
wailing of widows" Some of the negroes,
after being wounded, eapcd from the windows
and were killed The assassns surrounded the
house where the mayor was concealed and
threatened to take his life Among tthem were
some who had no sympathy with their proceed
ings, but were drawn into the ranks by fear of
consequences to themselves If they RETAINED.
Some of these and other citizens Of Meridian
interceded for the mayors life. 1t was spared
on condition that he should leave the place at
once, and at midnight three hundred of the
mob escorted him TO the cars The house of
j. A. Moore a negro who was thought to have
been killed, but who in fact escaped, and the
African church, were burned by the mob after
the murders,
Much of Mr. Sturges' narrative receives con-
frmation from the account published in the
Meridian Gazette, democratic paper. Making
due allowance for its partisan bias, this admits
quite as much as could be expected. 1t speaks
regretfully of the unfortunate tragedy" and
the evidence provoked by Warren Tyler" who
was one of the three negroes who were charged
with uttering inccndiary speeches. The burn
ing of the church is described as a "barbarous
and unlawful act" and the killing of colored
girl by "lct of men who left on the Alabama
and Chattanooga train just before day" is
strongly condemned. This last circumstance con-
firms Mr.. Sturges' statement that the kuklux
gang was reinforced from Alabama Mr. Stur-
ges, it may be added, expresses entire confidence
in Governor Acorn, and believes he will do his
best to have the laws enforced. Mississippi is Il
republican state, and we hope there is vigor
enough in its administration to punish the per-
petrators of these vllainies and to take the neces
sary precautions against their repetition in
Meridian or elsewhere. But if the condition of
negroes and northern republicans is so precari-
Gus where the officials and a majority of the
citizens are republicans, their lot must be much
harder where democrats control public opinion
and the administration of the laws.
