METEOROLOGICAL.


WASHINGTON, May 17.-Synopsis Of the
past "A hours.-The barometer has fallen
somewhat on the Pacific coast with high
westerly wind. 1t has risen from the upper
lakes eastward to the Atlantic, and is now the
lowest on the lower Missouri and South Of
the Cumberland Mountains. The temperature
has risen during the day in the south Atlantic
and fallen on the lakes and in the Eastern
States. Threatening and rainy weather has
moved eastward and prevailed during the
night from Ohio to New jersey and northward
but is now almost entirely cleared away. Par
TALLY cloudy and clear weather has prevailed
north and west of Indiana.
Probabilities is probable that local rains
will pass over the middle and gulf coasts and
that storm of moderate dimensions will pass
over Georgia and South Carolina. A more ex-
tended rain is threatening the Ohio Valley.
Cloudy weather with brisk northeast winds
will probably be experienced from Lake Erie
nOrthwestward. Fresh northwesterly
winds are probable for the Middle and Eastern
States. .-

SINCE the publication Of the brief report OF
the trial Of Gould for malicious libel yester-
day, We have been made aware of its incom'
pleteness in that while the points'of the de-
fence were given the evidence offered IN reiu'
tation of certain statements Of Mr.. Gould were
uot referred to- The verdict of the jury does
not express the full vindication of Mr.. Nights
character that is due to him; and in reviewing
the whole case it is evident that no stain what
ever rests upon Mr.. lights character as a
business man and citizen. He was thorough
ly INDICATED from any suspicion of wrong
doing in connection with the Nutter forgeries,
and we believe that this is the popular verdict.
