The Military Kxirnvagnnzas. Ijustify this outrage on liberty, especially

llie Iloston Post, iu discussing the late Jong after it lias been quelled. It is

tarv commander, set over a number ol'

States in order to support the civil au

thority, may proceed to set that authority

aside altogether, or, what is the same, to

make it dependent on his naked will,

where is the guarantee that we shall not

have the same experiment tried upon us here at the North? And if we submit to

the sight of such conduct in one part of

the country fn sienee, without raising

even a protest, do we not deserve the

worst which these usurpers may in time

dare to visit upon us? It used tube a maxim that liberty could not be wounded

in any one of her members without caus

ing the whole fair body to suffer from the

pain. liut now we sit by aud see teu

States virtually lopped from the body politic, and trust to the fond delusion we shall not be summoned to share the pen

alty. Whatever wrong is done to free

dom in the South is sure to read upon

us at the North. We have lifted our voices 'iu protest against tyranny iu

Greece, in Poland, iu Austria, in Ireland,

in South America, because of the luvu

we bore the princeless gift agaiiit which

the outrage was directed shall we deem it of less importance that the same odious

monster shows his head on our soil and

among our owu brethren? Gen. Sehotield's order, appointing sub-

officers to the coutrol of the magisterial,

police, and judicial authorities of the sub-districts into which he has divided

Virginia, is simply a usurpation of tile

whole civil power of the State. It came

upon the people of Virginia like a thun

der clap out of a clear sky, so little cause was there for the promulgation of an or

der so extraordinary. General Schoficld

had been considered one of the most

moderate of the live eonunaudanst at the

South, and the people of Virginia were

kuown to have curried themselves with

unexceptional propriety. 1'iic reason for this astouishing edict is therefore the

harder to discover. Oil a sudden, with

out the least warning, the liberty aud property of Uie people of Virginia arc at

the mercy of military power, which has

thrust its hand into every locality. Military officers "are given the command of

the police of cities aud the power ol the

counties," and "all police officers, shcrills,

and constables are required to obey and

execute the orders of the military com

missioners" incases specified. It [rests with the military to decide whether per

sons charged with crime are to be "tried

by a military commission, or to be

brought before a civil court.

to palliate the crime now being perpetra

It is laid

down that trials before civil courts will be preferred "where thcro is satisjactory reason to believe that justice trill be done but it is directly ordered that "until the

orders of the Commanding General are made known in any case, the paramount jurisdiction assumed by the military com

missioners will be exclusive." "All persons, civil njjicers and others," are requir

ed "to obey and execute the lawful order of the military commissioners to the

same extent as they arc required by law

to obey and execute writs issued by civil

magistrates LJ ,"^1 /. Gen. Popes course in 'respect to the

Mobile trouble is not less open to con

demnation at the hands of all freetneu.

Stntioncd ut Atlanta, he presumes to decide a question over the evidence of Gen.

Swayuc, who whs on the ground. It is

uotorious, in the first placo, that there was no riot, which was the very thing

chiefly desired by the Radicals. Gen.

Pope's own report states that it was not

owing to tbc zeal of the Mayor or the

Chief of Police "that the riot did uot assume formidable proportions," which is

positive proof that it did not. lie says he removed these two civil officers—the

Mayor, bccause lie went oflf home and

left affairs in the hands of the Chief, "probably bccausc ho supjwscd the senti

ments of the speaker would not bo

pleasaut to him"—aud the Chief of Police, bccausc he "either sympathized with

the rioters or was wholly inefficient aud both of then) "bccause there is not likely to be confidence of any security whatever hereafter while they retain their of-

oflices." The common sense of the people of the country will refuse to permit such un

interpretation of the reconstruction act

of Congress. The sentiment of justice of

liberty, and of respect for popular au

thority, will revolt at such a flagraut

usurpation of power by an officer who

was appointed merely to assist the fre

operation of law, instead of thwarting

and overriding it. Not less for oui

selves, and the legacy which is beyond all other possessions for value, than for the

people of the Southern States, must we

make ourselves heard as one man, pro

testing' against such 'tyranuy, and de

nouncing it as a fatal euemy of the liepublic. It is under the law that we must

live, uot subject to the pleasure and the

mercy of any one man. No rebellion can

ted against constitutional freedom, in the I ilie'li^a^'ir W pn"lie patroiia very quarter where we took up arms to

declare that it should permanently remain and rule. As things go now we are

but justifying rebellion by our own law

less example we are elevating into respect a cause which all men believed to

have pcri.ilied when the appeal to arms

was finally decided.

An Example to Shun.

The IJattle of Waterloo aud the close of her connection with the wars of Napoleon, left Knglaiid burdened with a national debt of about four thousand millions of dollars. The annual interest of this debt is about one hundred and lift)- millions of dollars. It has been paid now for fifty years. In other words the amount of interest which has been so wrung from the hard earnings of the people amounts to the monstrous sum of seven thousand five hundred millions of! dollars. Two generations of men have paid on account of the debt, nearly twice its original sum, and yet it still remains ji unpaid iu nearly all its portentous mag- 13

uitude. The great cause of the sufl'eriiiL

of the masses of the Knglish people has been the payment of this frightful annual sum.

Agricultural Meteorology. The following plan to aid in preventing injury to grain and hay urops from storms

duting harvest, is offered by A. Watson

of Washington, 1). C., for the consideration of farmers, county officials, telegraph

companies, boards of trade, agricultural

societies, the press, and the public gen

erally. The idea, or plan, is not origiual

as a similar one was proposed and dis

cussed in the ltural New Yorker several years a^e, by au accomplished Meteorolo

gist—M. F. Maury, then Superintendent of the National Observatory, Washing

ton. In a series of able articles on the subject of Meteorology Jor Fanners, he

invited, through the pages of this journal. the co-operation of farmers and Agri

cultural Societies in aiding to extend to

the Lakes and the Land the beautiful and valuable system of physical research

which was proving so beneficial upon the

Sea,—and promised the rural population

results which should be as valuable to the

industrial pursuits on shore as those already obtained proved to be to com

merce and navigation. Connected with this plan of Lieut. M., was a system of Tele,/i(iihic Meteorology, which has since

been adopted to a greater or less extent

in other countries. In au article entitled

'•Meteorology for the Lakes and the Lake Kegion," published in the Rural of Feb.

20. 18.r)K, Lieut. Maury expressed the

opinion that, '-by a proper use of the magnetic telegraph as a meteorological

appliance, warning of the approaching storm might lie given to the shipping in

port and the laborer in the field, several hours in advanci/T and quite iu time to

save annually to the farmer, merchant

ami mariner, life and property not a lit

tle." And iu the same article Lieut. M. averred that '-with a proper system of daily froth reports through the tele

graph, the people and tho shipping of this country might have timely teaming of erert/ storm that risits otir shores.

As we believed the subject au impor

tant one at that time, and gave its discussion the most prominent position in the

Jiartil, we are glad to have it again

brought before the public, aud commend

the suggestion of Mr. Watson to the con

sideration (with a vuijv to future action,)

of the great muss of people who are interested. Though (he plan tianwot be

It may be remarked that this plan is ill direct imitation of naturo as exhibited in storms during summer, the thunder being often heard long before the clouds are eveu seeu. The telegraph represeuta the lightniug, and the cannou tho thuudcr, but nature is vastly surpaBed in time and extent, as tho flash will be understood, and the roar will bo heard at the

same moment, hundreds of miles in advance of the real lightning and the thuu-

iler. The cost of the plan will be trifling compared to the advantage gained. Mauy county seats own cannou which can be fired by some of the officials or employees round the court house. The -t actual espeuse will only bo the cost of a*. short telegram from the next county seat about once week for three or four months during summer, and tho additional cost!" of a few kegs of powder. The whole cost to each county will not be more than fifty dollars annually, while from this trifling outlay tens of thousands will be saved to each county, millions of dollars to each of the larger grain and grass growiug States, and perhaps one hundred million of dollors annually to the

whole United. As every county seat does not owh'a cannon suitable for a storm guit, and as the State anil National arseuals have a great abundance of auy size desired, all deficiencies may be supplied frotu these sources, aud thus these cannon now lying idle will be put to a useful purpose, and these destructive engines of war will be converted iuto implements of husbandry by being used to imitate thunder to give minting of approaching storms many hours in advance of the real thunder or
