THE STATE.

OXFORD, Miss, June 27.--TheR Rad
zeal account of the difficulty in the
Federal Court here is grossly false.
Colonel Lamar asked the Judge OF
the United States District Court to
put u man, who was Il witness for
the United States in the ku-KluX
cases, under bond to keep the peace,
upon the ground that he was threat
~pcaceable citizens. Whilst
Lamar was stating the facts
to the Court, the man arose and
advanced toward him in Il very
threatening manner, with one hand
under his coat, us if about to draw
Il pistol. Col. Lamar asked the
Court to require the man to take
his seat until he finished his re
marks. The man without waiting
for the interference of the Court,
continued to ADVANCE and Col. La
mar drew y chair upon him. The
man then fell back and took his
scat. Great excitement and criea
from the District Attorney and
Others for the arrest ofCol. Lamar
and fopthe soldiers TO come into the
bar, ensued, Col, lamar said 81
have committed no disorder. !
have done nothing to Justify my ar.
rest" Just then the e. S. Marshal
with soldiers following him, up.
preached Col. IAmhr, and as he wa,
about IA lay his hands upon him Col
Lamar struck hin. with his fist. TN,
Judge was all the time endeayorinl
to restore order, and very soon order
was restored. When everything
became quiet Col. Lamar apologize
in a very handsome and ampI,
manner to the court for striking tn,
Marshal, the Marshal having dis
closed that he did not approach hin
tor the purpose Of arresting him
The Judge accepted the apology an,
the Marshal declared himself salts
fed. Public opinion here, and tn.
entire bar, are in full sympathy wit
Col. Lamar.
