Hark from the hollow, doleful sound,
The "Green Eve, man is still on the ground

Hark from the hollow, a doeful sound,
The "Green Eye is still on the ground.
Mr. EDITOR: As | am unwilling do like "Green
Eye, hook another mans poetry and try to palm it off
original the above is the best can fix up. "Green
Eye" writes like know-something, but he proves him
self know-nothing in his illusions to the author OF
the sBue Eye pieces which have greatly troubled
his guilty conscience "Bue Eye knows nothing about
culverts, subso explorations, rats, and is willing
let "Green Eye have all the benefit of such opera
TONS he never had anything do in that line
asked the of those who did Is it not lit
tie curious that "Green Eye don't pretend deny the
charges made against him and his clique, VIZ that al
making much noise about dry tickets, and abusing
Dr. Pritchard and his friends being liquor democrats,
they turned about the late election and supported
and cO-operated with the very they had denounced
Instead this he virtually admits it by saying
that is notorious fact that the dry ticket of
Charlotte supported DIR. Prchard" This is about
much as want Green Eye to admit, for it is equally
notorious that the said dry ticket men, have here
tofore denounced Dr. Ptchard being the leader Of
the 'lquor party of this town. willing to leave
it every candid and woman in Charlotte to say
if correct in this statement. But ''Green Eye
must not put all the dry ticket men in the same ncon-
sstent and ridiculous position that he is in himself for
there were some who refused to desert their former pro-
fessions and cooperate with those who had been
particularly designated as anti-temperance men.
But Othellos occupation was lost, so is "Green
! Eyes" and those who acted like him, for presume
they will not dare to get up another dry ticket though
the town might be flooded with whiskey. They had
possession Of nearly all the liquor before and on
election day, and it is likely they willing to
give it up Why, it is said that it was hard mat
for friend of utchison to get drink for his
stomach sake the day of election. AS for the shop
opposite the Court House that Green Eye" talks about,
heard of one man who went there and turned off
without it, being told by some one in the house that
they had liquor for any of Hutchson's friends.

him from getting dose. Probably :'Green Eye" had
it all engaged, the bar-kecper too busy wait
ing on the man who carried round the "dry tickets
at the last municipal election.
Wonder if "Grccn Eye knows what "JuntO' means.
He has cOnjured up something he calls 'Junto, and
says it is composed of Majors, Colones Captains &c
&c. down to Elders, and host of others 1t is a
pretty large Junto, then. The thing would sound
right funny if he had attempted to make sport with
religious Office; but every to his taste. Talking
about Juntos how does the Junto to which Green Eye
belongs stand and of whom is it composed? Here are
a few of the ingredients, and a terrible it is too

such gassy articles the one in the last Wing, nc
one will feel offended in the least while "Bue Eye
