A DISPATCH in a Northern republican

A DISPATCH in Northern republican
newspaper about the recent refusal OF
a Texas regiment to accept pay from a
negro paymaster, says; ut appears
that after the incident occurred, 1t was
reported to General Fitzhugh Lee N
command of the 7th army corps, which
takes in this regiment. General Lee
appears to have desired to avoid fric-
tion on the color question, by avoiding
. direct issue" That President Mckin'
lev had no such desire, was proved by
mis- order that the regiment referred to
should either take its pay from negro,
or do without it. But with all the
white paymasters subject to his order,
why the President should have gone
out of his way to send a negro to pay
Southern soldiers, is any thing else
than plain.
