Tom scott as a Rising Power.

The election Of THOMAS A. SCoTT of Penn.

reaching significance. Mr. ScoTT is becom-
ing very important man in q political point
of view. He may exercise an almost de-
csive influence over the next Presidential
election. He has long been at the head Of
the Pennsylvania Central Railroad, with
capital of fifty millions of dollars, welding a
political influence which generally regulates
the course of Legislation in that State. Only
few days ago member Of the Penns1
vania House Of Representatives rose and
said that "if TON SCOTT had no further
business with that Legislature, he moved
that they now adjourn"
Mr.. SCoTT also controls the Pittsburgh
and Fort Wayne Railroad, which connects
Pittsburgh and Chicago, and has great power
in Ohio and Indiana. lie has his hand on the
great Northwestern line which unites Chi.
cago and Omaha, and forms with his other
roads an unbrokcn connection between the At.

MERIDIAN, Miss, March 6.-Your correspondent
arrived in this city last evening, ahd found the
place in frghuul state Of excitement Tho hos
ulity between the whites aud blacks eliminated yes
tcrday in a terrible nght, which resulted In the
death Of ono wlnte man and four negroef. For
long tine trouble had been apprel ended, and TO the
blacks are attributed all tho fearful scenes which
have been enacted here for the past four days TIE
blacks had openly threatened to bum tho town.
They had appeared on several occasions on tlo
streets fully armel. They had openly sworn that
they would annihila,o the whito population OF the
city. Foremost among tho leaders OF the blacks
wero William Clopton, Gus Ford, aud Warren Tyler.
On tho evening Of March 1 the negroes put their
oft.ropeated threats into execution by burning q
block OF houses in tie heart Of tie city. This Ia.
volyed a loss TO the citizens OF $500, on which
there was only s2s.OOO insurance. YESTERDAY morn.
inE Wm. C1outon was brought TO the Court House
aud accus d Of riotous conduct at the Ere. Daring
the examination Of witnesses, Tyler drewn rovover.
horrible scene followed. The room was nllcd with
whites and blacks and both races began an indis.
crminate firing of pistols, guns. Sc. Judge Bran.
ette, old aud respected citizen, who was attend
ing court a. spectator was aocidcntaly killed by
shot from the negro Tyler The whites now occamo
furious. Tyler, alter dischargiug several shots,
juoDed from The window OF the Court House aud
the street IIo was pun ued. and on his refu
sal TO surrender was instantly kiCd. CloDton and
Ford were killed Ia the Court House.
7 he troubles are attributed IN great measure
10 the Mayor Of The CITY, one WIN. Sturees who, It
IL reported. had influenced tho minds oi the ne.
Croes. Immediately after the n-ht. moenug of
citizens held, and large number desired 10
Kill the Mayor On putting tho question to a vote
the meeting refused BY m1jorN Of one hundrCd
to sanction such a course. Stur-es agreed TO leave
the city by tho first train for tie NORTH, and at
o'clock the neat morning, escorted by squad ot
three hundred armed mon, he went 10 the depot.
IN O state of intense excitement Busne- u sus.
