J ■ RHM MAY -‘DISCIPLINE” TEXANS They Refused Their Pay From A Colored Paymastr. Washington, Sept 17. —Paymas* ter Gen. Stanton has turned over to the President all the papers re lating to the recent unpleasant ness growing out of the refusal of a Texas regiment to receive pay from Maj. Lynch because he is colored. The President has taken no de finite action beyond expressing ap proval of Gen . Stanton’s course in sending a sharp dispatch the to commanding paymaster of that de partment siateing in effect that as Maj. Lynch had been regularly commissioned by the President as an army paymaster, the troops must take their pay from him or else go without pay. Thus the matter stands, with i the papers before the President. There is the possibility that a new question may arise on the point of insubordination in refusing to receive pay from paymasters re gularly commissioned to make payments. LADIES FINE SAILORS.
