a CORRECTION.

The Leaders attention has been
called to the fact that dispatch
from Natchez, dated June 6, and
published in its columns June IA,
was erroneous as it relates to- the
race of the party concerned in an
Extraordinary Land Claim"
The article, which was copied from
an exchange stated that "The claim

etc.
We had the pleasure of meeting
Mr.. Davis this week when he visited
this city. Mr.. Davis is white gem
tleman and neither he nor his friends
can understand how he became des-
ignated "a negro teamster" by
the correspondent whose dispatch
was copied as news item in the
Leader.
We deeply regret before publish
ing the exchange item that we were
not informed at the time Of the mis-
take it contained, since had we
