On Tuesday evening last, snow covered
the ground to the depth of over an inch.
1t commenced showing about o'clock in the
evening, and continued about two hours,
when it turned to rain. Looking on the
steady fall of the sad snow, one could not
choose but think of the poor, of the working
classes, of the monetary stress, of the fact
that many manufacturing and other establish
mcnts are reducing Their forces, and of the
destitution and suffering which the unemploy-
ed will inevitably be called on to undergo.
And our voice is let no employer discharge
his workmen in a time like this, unless such
a step is absolutely necessary. 1t would be
heartless cruelty to do so. We stand upon
the threshold of long and severe winter
Let the high claims of Humanity, as well as the
snug suggestions of self preservation, be
heard and responded to.

Our FOREIGN FINANCIAL RELATIONS =
The New York BuNetin has a suggestive
article, calling attention to the heavy
balance OF trade against rs for 1872, the
imports for last year exceeding the ex-
ports by SLOT, 100, 600. against q like ex-
cess in 1871 OF $50. 100000. We thus
entered upon 1873 with trade balance
of about $l0S, 600, 900, which, together
with soy four months of interest on our
foreign Indebtedness, lat the rate of not
less than S75. 600, 900 per anpum. had to
be liquidated by remittnnces of specie
and securities. Under the circum
stances. and considering that continental
finances arc disorganized and that the
tendency Of The London money market
is towards q decided activity, the editor
goes on to say:
"We are confronted with tho posi-
biiity, at least, Of being called upon for
free remittances Of specie during the
next few weekssand the question, there
fore, ia suggested, in what position do
wo stand for meeting such dcmand7"
Concerning the available supply Of
gold for shipment, the editor estimates
that the supply in the market for the
two months may be estimated al Si3, 900, :
600, while the Withdrawals arc likely to
be about $4,000, 600, leaving balance
Of $24 900, 600 to provide for the wants
Of export aud for the necessary stock in
tho banks.
During the months Of May and Jnne
last year (tho Bulletin goes on to saw the
specie exports amounted to S26, O0O, 900,
and for the same period of 1871 to
S2l 900, 600; The averages of the two
years being equal to the whole above
estimated balance available for export
and stock. Taking tho favorable sup
position that tho outflow Of specie this
month and next will not equal that Of
tho last two years, yet we have pro-
liability that tho stock Of gold in the
banks will be reduced, before July !, 10
point calculated to enlist speculative
manipulation Of the market with derapg-
ing fluctuations in the premium.

LIBER1A.-Captain Shufeldt, Of the
United States ship Plymouth, writes
from Monrovia, March 2Gth, to the Navy
Departm ent about the condition Of tho
colony of Liberia. He is glad to find
that there has been no retrogression in
the colony, but admits that there has
been little progress since lie last visited
it. He has faith in its permanency and
in the firm hold taken there by Christian
civilization. Tho colony has begun to
export sugar and coffee, and there nrc
i've steam sugar mills in operation on
st. Paul's River. The Captain urges the
United States Government to give q
helping hand to the colony, apd to esta.
blish line Of steamers to Monrovia. He
is quite afraid Of the cncroachmc OF
the English. who arc engaged in bound.
ary difficulty with tho Llberians, through
which have resulted oncrcus demands
upon the Treasury by the English repre-
sentatives. We trust there will be no
war about this English trespass. We
have quito enough of trouble in the
savage aud barbarous way at home. Let
ns not add to our business in this line.
But, assuredly. if their oountrymen are
in trouble. there are plenty of Africans
by descent in this country to reinforce
and protect them.

DEATHr OF rMANzoN1:-A despatch,
dated Friday, from Rome, announces
the death. at the ripe ago of eighty nine,
Of ibe great Italian novelist and poet.
Count Alcssundro Manzoni.
The work by which Mapzoni is best
known is his famous historical novel
II promessi Sposi," n tale of Milap, in
the seventeenth century, which Henry
I. Tuckerman. in lis"Characteristics OF
Literature" pronounced one of the
noblest works, il not the very noblest
work, Of fiction ever written. By The
publication of this book Manzoni created
new fctional literature in his country,
be was also poet Of grent eminence,
publishing his first volume ut the early
age of twenty-one. NIanzoni was born
at Milan in 1884, and studied at the
university Of his city nnd at that of
Pavia with distinction. Tho Legion of
Honor was given him in 1910, and in
1860 he was made Senator. Mauzoni
was much beloved by the italian people,

The LeeisInfure---Ekeforln.

The public are looking with profound
interest to the action Of the Legislature
under Mr.. Streets resolution for the APP
pointment of Joint Committee on Re
trenchmsnt and Reform, with instruc-
tons 80 inquire into and report what
Offices, if any, should be abolished; what
salaries, if any, should be reduced; what
changes, if any, should be made in the
management of the charitable institu-
tons Of the State what legislation is
necessary to prevent extravaganza on the
part of Boards Of Supervisors and School
Directors, and such other changes in the
statutes of the State as they may deem
essential IN the interest of economy If
the enormous doctrine enunciated by the
accidental Governor in the interest Of ex-
travagance, be true, that the present ex-
pensive Judiciary system fastened upon
The State by the adventures, is to con-
tinue four years longer. without pros
pect of relief, it is well that the people
should know the fact at once and prepare
for it. This system costs four times a:
much as in the psdmy days of the com
monwealth when she could boast bench
as pure and enlightened as any in the
Union. 1t costs more than all the De
partments Of the State government com
bined in those days; and it is a hard
case if the knot has been so securely tied
by the conspirators that it cannot be cut
Other reforms are needed and must be
accomplished if there is power in the
ballot-box to achieve it. The whole
Radical system of Administration from
bottom to top is a reeking mass of ex
tortion and corruption.

q Case for the Social Equality ties.
If the Radicals in the Legislature have
a right to dictate who the proprietor of Il
hotel, which is private property, shall re-
ceive as guest into his establishment, it
will not be contended that the law making
power has not the authority to decide
that ono distinctions shall be made
on account of race, color or previous con-
dition" at the Executive mansion. In the
case of the mansion, the reasons are
much stronger. The mansion is public
property, paid for and kept up at public
expense. The occupant of the mansion
is public servant who draws six thou
sand dollars a year, with perquisites and
contingent fund allowances coming
out of the pockets of the tax payers. And
now, who that has supported the bill to
compel keepers of hotels for the accom-
mediation whites, to receive negroes as
guests, will presume to say that they
have not strongerreasons for carrying their
social equality legislation into the pre-
cincts of the Governors mansion? Is that
establishment, temporarily in the occu-
pancy of carpet-bagger, to be sacred
from the intrusion of Sambo and Dinah,
while they are to be thrust into houses of
entertainment which are owned by private
parties Ifthe rule be good one, why
don't the RAIDS work it out to the end
POSTSCRIPT the above was put
in type, our reporter got wind of the
Social Equality carousal at the Mansion,
from which it would seem that the col
ored leaders are not inclined to await the
slow and uncertain progress of a Legis-
lative enactment in order to acquire
" civil rights" in that establishment.
They have stormed the castle, and the
Bully Boy has surrendered without
struggle. But the victory is not COM
plete. The Big Mingos of Africa have
gained admission, but the bone and sinew
of the tribe, who WELD the sledge ham
mer, and drive the jack-plane, and han
die de shovel and de hoe" are still left
out in the cold. Let it be a free thing.
No distinction on account of occupation.

Excitemeut mt ocean springs.

We learn that Deputy u. s. Marshal. j. j
Gainey. with squad of soldiers created
some excitement at Ocean Springs last
week, by arreSung some of the most promi-
nent and best citizens of that place, and
hurrying them of To Jackson to answer a
charge OF ku-kluXing fellow named Peter
a. Pons. Among the prisoners are: Sheriff
John +. Clark, Squire Harry II. Minor, Mr..
Geo. A. Cox, and others whose names we
did not learn. We don't believe any of the
above gentlemen are guilty as charged, and
we hope 10 have full particulars OF the affair
by our next issue. Will some of our friends
at Ocean Springs furnish them in detail p
Handsboro Democrat
The difficulty, as we are informed, was
as follows: Peter A. Pons had treated
his wife so badly that she became insane,
and was brought to the Lunatic Asylum
two weeks ago, by Sheriff Clark, of Jack
son county. Pons at that time returned
from Meridian, where he was then living.
and there was some talk among the boys
of riding him on rail. He came to
Jackson to Commissioner Jones and swore
out an affidavit against several of the
young men, charging them with ku-
kluxing.
Geo. a. Cox, Harry III. Minor and
John E. Clark, Sheriff, were not arrested
as stated, but came up with the young
men who we're arrested, as friends, to as
sist them in case of need. The prisoners
were discharged

1t is generally the custom of men who
approach others with bride to negotiate

measure. Old Kansas Pomeroy preferred
this mode in dealing with the member of

deal in that way-hs object being to
