A Southerner's Denial of Deputy Collect
or Lanier's Statements.
NEW ORLEANS, Nov. 22.-Hon j Floyd
King, Congressman from the Fifth District,
today wrote a letter to the President in regard
to the "outrage" report of III. B. Lanier, in
which he says: Commissioner Raum on the
report of Mr. Lanier, appointed by him Inter-
nal Revenue Collector in the Fifth Congress
sonal district, when he became a candidate for
Congress, has ordered him to invade the
district with an armed force. There is perfect
peace and quiet in the district and no VIOLA
ton or disposition to violate the laws or rights
of any one. Mr.. Lanier no more needs United
States troop than does Mr.. Raum in the Treas
ury, or than do while attending the sessions
of Congress. Mr.. Lanier is short in his accounts
in large amount as State tax collector
and has more than once been engaged in des-
perate broils, not political, resulting in the
death of his antagonist. Should such man
be appointed to such a responsible Office as
internal revenue collector and be armed with
authority to use troops armed men in the
midst of profound peace against population
observing the laws of their country and busy
in peaceful occupation?"

PORTSMOUTH, Nov. 22.-An examination as
to the cause of the death of VIM. G. Conery,
belonging TO the schooner j. J. Clark Of Glou-

sions of the face and head pronounce them
from their nature and location to have been
caused by striking hard substances, probably
in the descent overheard. Conery was seer
considerably intoxicated Saturday night on the
wharf, where his body was found and here
the vessel lies. The remains have been turn
ed over to an undertaken to await the arrival
of the father of the deceased.
