Army bill 1t insultingly denounces the
black Republicans and their neophytes, who
have been recently initiated into their mys-
teries, viz: Messrs. Douglas, Stuart, and
Broderick, whom, it elegantly declares, "pig

braces of Douglas, Hale & Company. The
article is significant, because by recent ar

sistant Secretary Of State and factotum ol
tho President.

rency, and depreciating daily. The prog
nostics Of y bankrupt treasury are too plair
to be ignored or misinterpretcd.
