From the Richmond Examiner, Apft 22nd 81
We have frequently referred TO the un-
natural endowmentof of Yankees and boot
licks from Washington with oflicesi the
departments Of this Government The
subject has never received the attention
from Congress which il merits. a For the
purpose Of inviting an investigation Of
som9 curious facts, and uadee obligations
Of the strictest responsibility for the
truth of our statements we have thought
proper 10 mention two cases of Lincoln
ties hs=l;erea in pg:hlie eiiiea in this city,
selecting these cases from a number of
others simply on account of their la
grancy.
CASE no. /.
The first case is that Of Jew, we be-
lieve-a little, dirty, blear-eyed police
magistrate of Washington city, who will
be recollected by former residents Of that
city as keeping an office opposite fa-
nous drinking saloon, and living on the
crackers of that establishment, This
fellow was, as we are prepared TO prove,
employed by the Lincoln Government,
after blackening his own soul with its
oath of allegiance TO administer the oath
10 the department clerks in Washington
which he did for the pay of "bit" q
head. After the battle of Manassas this
reptile crawled to Richmond, declared
himselfvery much in love with the South
and has been provided with comforts
able berth in one of the departments OF
| the Government.
Since this vile police tool Of the Il 3
coin government was taken into the pub.
Tic service Of the South he had an adj
venture, in the office of this newspaper. .
with little boy some ten years OF are.
Some weeks ago this lion of Judah en-
tered the c0unting-room of the Eranai,Ier.l
and finding nobody there but little Of
flee boy, proceeded to bully him, and 10 {
disembottle his wrath against the pa
per TO the said little boy. There being
no one present to kick him from the
premises, he instructed the little boy To
stop his paper, that she did not want
such a id paper as the Erani,ler, as IL
was too much NJ a Yankee sheet for him"
Since administering Lincoln's oath m
Washington at bit head, 10 seems that
this son of Shimei has become very in
eandescent supporter Of jeff, Davis and
Southern rights.
CASE NO. 2.
| ue case ls 80 HaBfant tlat n might be
expected TO surpass belief but for the
testimony we have to establish every
fact we aIlege. But recently--that is,
about two weeks ago--a man arrived
here across the Potomac, who had been
clerk in one Of the departments in Wash
ington. lie took the oath of allegiance
to the Lincoln government, and his name
as a Southern clerk will be found in The
report Of the celebrated Potter Investf-
eating Committee, as printed in the col
umns of the New York Tribune. This
person arrived in Richmond about a
fortnight ago. The very ne1t dan after his
arriUak through an application 10 an old
Washington E5quaiFanee here, be obtain
ed a position in what is now the most
critical branch Of the public service, and
where one word Of information 70 the
enemy might utterly betray as.
| We do not ask can such things be
That they exist can be established by
half an hours testimony. The question
is, shall abuses Of this sort continue foe
DAY longer a, Jga'
