assure their continuance. Sufficient appropriations
have been made by Congress, with every apparent
disposition to favor and extend the duty. The re-

RIoTING IN MIssIssIPpI-On Monday, In the
town Of Meridian, Miss, while negro was on
trial for incendiarism, negro friend shot and
killed the presiding stice. Then general
melee ensued, the crowd Of spectators, as
usual in Mississippi, being weighted with
revolvers and the two negroes were killed.
Then the Sheriff called posse together and
commenced general arrest Of negroes, in the
course of which four more negroes were killed.
Then, to cap the whole affair and, we fear,
disclose Ku Klux cloven foot too plainly,
the Mayor, Northern man, was
put on board Northern train by citizens
safety committee and ordered never to return.
II always turns 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 thing of reality
in the South.
