Fhey Don't Want a Coiored Postmaster.
NIcEsBURG, Miss, March A large
and enthusiastic meeting of citizens was
held Saturday night at the court house to
protest against the appointment Of James
Hill, colored as postmaster here A series
OF resolutions strongly denouncing the ap-
pointment was adopted and will be for
warded TO Mississippi senators and repre-
sentatives. They charge that Hill is not a
citizen Of this city or district and has been
repudiated by it's voters; aud that the
president has passed over and ignored
reputable white Republicans and mem
bers Of the Grand Army Of the Republic
70 appoint him. Republicans, as well as
Democrats, took part in the meeting,
which was distinguished rather for in
tensity than bitterness Of feeling. Il is a
fact that any negro, resident ornot, would
be Objectionable 70 the people.
