LOUISVILLE, KY, Feb. "a special

Buckner to-day gave his answer to Mr..
MshaD, special agent Of the Governor of
West Virginia, in the matter of the de-
mand made upon him by the state Of Vir-
ginia for the surrender of the members of
the Hatfield gang now IN sill at PlkeVille,
Ky, and who were taken iorciblY from
the state of West Virginia. Governor
Buckner says 10 effect that he has 20
warrant to surrender these prisoners
II is matter for the courts and courts
alone to decide, and the friends of the
prisoners will have to depend upon a writ
Of habeas corpus. Mr.. Mshan will report
to Governor Wilson ard proceedings
will probably be at once begun in TIE
cases before Judge Rec, criminal Judge
OF that circuit. Mr. Mahan was the
special agent sent by Governor Wilson
to investigate the coalition aud causes OF
the McCoY-H4tdeld war, and he hos re.
ported that no troops would be necessary
to quell the disturbance. At that time
troops were on their way to the scene Of
hostilities, and eY were stopped st
Petersburg. Mr.. MahSn thinks that
there are some very bad men on both
sides, and that they ought to be punished
by their respective states, but he is dis
posed to take with good deal of allow
sDce the statement OF either side as to its
own part in the feud.
