A Catholic Priest on the Yankee Pres
idential Election

The Dublin (Ireland) Nation publishes
the following letter from Catholic priest
at Orange New Jersey, explaining to his
countrymen in Ireland how the Presiden-
tial election was worked. The following is
an extract from the letter: :. -
Lincoln being Republican and Adolf
ZIONIST, and McClellen being Democrat;
and the people being tired and disguised
with the war to state of nauseousness.
Lincoln saw that Democracy would rise up
in its majesty anti defsa. him. What did
he do? He SET his agents To-. work, and
there was not city,, town, hamlet OF will !.

but were bribed with thousands and thou
sands of greenbacks to secure his rc-elec-
ton. Greenbacks are the paper dollars
that are current now. They have ceased
to count them at Washington. They weigh
them by the ton. enclose one as a sam
pie. You can ,asiiy see, sir how Lincoln
was reelected. And by getting reelected
he considered that this would prove to all
Europe that the Federals endorsed him and
his administration. whereas the contrary is
All of us know full we'll how the con-

Reconstruction.

Unite how will you gather up
The fragments of our broken laws
Their hands have hsled the bitter cup
Ofhate. The arm of vengeance draws
It's sword with a conclusive start,
TO smite submission to the heart.
Reunion ? es when you can raise
Pale thousands from their sleep of death,
When light from sightless eyes shall blaze,
And rotting forms rejoice in breath.
When blood that Aecked hundred plains,
Shall leap again through living veins.
Submit to wrongs that needs must send.
& shudder through tyrant's frame
To deeds Of reeking crime that blend,
Their lurid glare beclouding fame?
Connive at outrage shame and guilt
Ignore the blood that freemen split
No! Heavenl like thunder shout
Burst from each clotted battle plan.
From every wound-mouth gushes out,
A curse that thro6s through EVERY vein,
OF timd caitiff who ould frame
That fabric Of eternal shame.

Hemha Micco or John Jumper.

The Macon 7e2egrophsays it has recent
ly been put in possession of some interres-
ting facts with regard to this Indian-the
Principal Chief Of The Seminole nation. -
He is at present, Colonel in the Provis-
ional Army of the Confederate States, and
commands regiment of Indians, compo-
sed principally of Seminoles. Considera-
bly, over six feet in height, as straight as
au arrow, and as graceful AMI light-footed
as the deer which feed upon the prairies Of
his western home he looks every inch the
soldier and the chief He is, withal, as
gentle as d woman. as brave as the bravest
able in council, influential with his people,
pnfe patriot, and thoroughly devoted to
the caase Of the South. His name shuold
bcco.he household word with the citizens
Of the Confederate States.
The Trlcgsaph gives an extract from his
''talk to Colonel s. s. Scott, .Commi SION
or Of Indian aA'airs at Fort Washington,
9th DC ober last We give al extract -
It will be found scarcely less eloquent in
its simplicity and true feeling than the eel
ebsated speech o. Logan:
Permit me to express to you the graft
ification we feel because Of your visit -
We thank you for the very friendly and
ati.factory address this morning. We
are strengthened aud encouraged. We
will remember your words when you are
far away. We will profit by them.

As soon as he Was beyond observation, the
