THE people of Durant pledged them
selves to the protection of Holmes and
Warren if they should come here, and
A. j. Boyd, of Kosciusko, telegraphed
Gov. Ames, advising their return 30 this

not put in an appearance. The wicked

that these men were mere peripatetic car
pet-baggers, who had no fixed interest in
Holmes, except the offices; and as they
have been deprived of them, no motiYe
exists for their return.
