On the 1st (lay of September, 1877, Pom Keitt, colored, formerly a slave of Jol. Ellison S. Keitt, was arrestedl for igamy. On the 6th of the same month he following article appeared in the ew York Times: "A p)rivate letter eceived from South Carolina states that ol. Keitt, of Newberry, was arrested ~t that place on Saturday last on the barge of bigamy, and, ip (ifa of >a'l, was hei to await the action of he Grand Jury. This apose has ca ed a sensation in South Carolina, as he aceused is a near relative of the ate Lawregee M. h.eitt, whp ggured so >romineptly in Congress priwr to the -ebellion, and is connected with somie f the best families of the State." Col. Keitt wrote privately to the Vimes stating the facts of the ease; but nsteadl of apologizing it replied wvith mother article more outrageons than he first. This satisfied Col. Keitt that lhe first article had not been the result f any mistake, but a deliberate at empt to vilify and smirch lis name; Lnd he immediatgy 'bepai gn action or~ libel in the U. S. Court for the Dis riot of Newy York against George ones, the proprietor of the Thas, fixing uis damages at $50,000. The sec.ond Lrticle is really too indecent to repro luco here. Col.

Thlir-~ een wvitnesses wgrp eg~auined for the lefense, with the view of proving that L'om Keitt has held p)rominent positions n the State since the war, and that he s generally reputed to be related (ille ~itimately, of course) to the late Law -ence M.
