Wide Acquaintance.
S. R. McKeown, prominent planter
of Natchez, Miss, was in the city yesterday
He said that more importance was attached, IN
the North, to the race warm his section than
the matter deserved. Men of rough character
who in the North would be treated to few
years Imprisonment and no unusual promin-
ence bestowed on them, would in the South be
shot down on sight, because of the hold they
would assume over the colored people of whom
they made perfect fanatics. Such prompt
measures were necessary, else it would be i'm
possible to live among people who were so apt
to be influenced by hoodooism and racial pre-
JUDGES. He thought that the Governors would
not take any further action in the Sullivan
Kllrain episode

the Federal Government for $4,000 from his

States officers, The money was the amount of
an appropriation by Congress for the suppress
sion of rebellion and was disbursed by Daniel
Lamb, under the order of the President for
the equipment of volunteer soldiers. Lamb
acted as the agent for the Government and not
a dollar ever went into the State Treasury He
was careful with his vouchers and |. as Gov
ernor, was equally exact with my warrants.
The State cannot be made liable.
