We understand Superintendent Barney has
ordered the conductors on the Mississippi Cen
tral Railroad to allow no one to take passage for
a negro on said road, without first receiving a
voucher that all is right from some trusty ac-

We have received one or two copies of the

matte, sore-headed concern as the Douglas
party of Mississippi. Pecuniarily we wish the
Citizen the utmost success.
