Tho True Story of :i 41 Ilaco Outi^C.”WASHINGTON, March 29. —Tho attempt; maM by numbcr'of papery under the lead of the Now Yor'k TForW, to magnify a very oi*dinary Incident of department discipline into a new race conflict ha£ fallen very flat he re. Milton M. Holland, a colored clerk intdo office of Deputy Sixth-Auditor Haralson, has been in tlio habit of riolatiag^he rules of the oflice by talcing his own time for g-oic.fr t lunch and for coming back, instead of m iking uso of the haif-bour between 12 and i‘:SO assigued to all the employees alike One day last week he wa3 remonstrated with by Mr. Haralson, and retorted in a very insolent manner. Mr. Haralson discharged hire on the spot, and Holl.mdS went off In avery agitated state of mind. Afterwards some ofthe ox-eicrk’s friends mado threats, as coiningfrom him, that he would go to the President a ad obtain an order for his reinstatement. Mr. H-araison is very desirous that he shah do so, if he feels aggrieved by being required to obey the same rules as the other clerks. A* a matter of fact, though, Holland is more sensible than some of hi • journ^l-lstlcfricnde who ore try lug to go: id himinto violence. He his got out a card announcingthat hi* is about to practise law in this#hew hi probably settle down and be iis quiet as anybody. Tho origin of flic whole trouble is sup- -posed to bo that Holland presumed upon the T* .*t-u r irrident nr«d other recent eviu noes of theFr« sidcnt’ purpose to stand by his race, and believed that he would be prot- cted irom the consequences of a petty form of insdb-.»rdination. Therearc plenty of politicians on tho spot just nowready to Itrsed discord wherever they can bypreaching thte sort of thing to the coloied people.lidrt!
