The Picayune has been
sued by orr Chief Justice
LudeIug for 100000 as dam
ages for an alleged libel. The
libel was in Publishing an ar
ticle in regard TO Ludeling's
connection with the aequisi-
ton of the old Vicksburg,
Shreveport and Texas Rail-
road. The Pic having got
into such dangerous predica-
ment, we must all be as mute
