his color, but like a Radical white man
he slipped ashore on arriving st his desti-
nation, without paying his fare. II that

housed up at Little Rock with white and
black scalawags, then he always was q

can be found he will indorse our ssser-
ton. The same chap, whose name, oy
the way, is White, was recently arrested
at Helena for stealing corn.
