An effort was made by number of our citi-

formed he never paid, and yet he talks about
giving them a grand reception if he had only
been apprised Of the time of their arrival
He and his fellow cops, now that the soldiers
are coming home want their votes. Hence
their sudden love for them. They used to
delight in calling them s'Lincoln's hirelings,
'Lincoln's dogs, Lincoln pups" but now
what dear fellows the soldiers are The no
ble-hearted, patriotic boys who have come
home and the relatives Of those who have
given their lives that their country might live
and who viii never come back, understand
well the hypocrisy of these base creatures.
NoTHING LEFT BUT THE "NIGGER. The
great Copperhead party has narrowed down
to opposition to the Negro. On no other
question has it any defined policy. What
truly sublime spectacle A great party,
which at an early day, boasted of its great
and comprehensive principles, is now Left
without single principle, nothing but oppo-
sition to few, poor wretched negroes, whom
the nagnaninous Of the world are endeavor-
ing to elevate to the position God designed
that all men should occupy. But we have no
right to complain of this contemplate posi-
ton of the party which is now composed of
the fag ends of everything that raised, bought,
sold, caught, whipped and kid nappednegroes,
and more particularly since 10000 negroes
took up arms and played a prominent part in
crushing out the rebellion. The Cops have
sworn eternal vengeance against them for this
exhibition Of their patriotism.
WHO TAKES WATER WITH a NIGGRR IN rTg
The Cops met with quite an incident the
other day on ''Copperhead HILL" They, as
every body knows, hate negroes awfuIly, some
Of them almost faint when the subject of
Niger is broached But to our story A
gentleman Of our acquaintance has very
sprightly negro boy, as black as hat, say
eight or ten years old, who found his way to
the s'HilF' on celebration day. The little
fellow, like every body else on the "Hilr' be-
came very warm, and probably thirsty, seeing
barrel Of water standing near by, he rea-
sonably enough came to the conclusion that
It would be comfortable place to bathe, and
into the barred he slipped. Water was scarce.
and he was soon discovered, ierked out of
the BARREL and would have been lynched on
the spot, had it not been for fear of offending
the old gentleman who claimed him as his
servant. of course very few persons saw the
affair. and in comparatively short time the
thirsty Cops had drank the last drop of 'cateT,
yea, the UeTy dregs, so indiscreetly favored
by the ''sweet scented niger. Our inform
ant vouches for the truth of the story. We
know these fellows have niger on the brain, y
but we never expected them to get the mig
ger in the stomach We have heard of
Lemonade with fly in it, but this is the
first time that we have heard of taking water
with a niger in it. e. Cons, how do you
like the water delicately favored with the
''sweet scented niger?
