nothing to embarrass the pew administration.

IN Its provisions all clerks not nominated by

senate, and the classification in this
department has been strictly In accordance with the
opinion OF the Attorney General upon the subject

quest The lynchers however, We're not to be put

into the quaint and Insecure little prison. jackson
was found almost frightened to death His perse-
cutors refused 10 listen to all appeals for mercy.
The negro was bound hand and foot with q Line
