couldn't pay your tax on some peach
brandy he stilled for his neighbors two
years ago and soon you'll be sellin'
the land for the land tax, and you're
tryin your best to play the devil gen

run. See If you don't. Talk about

Old Blow couldu't keep up with his
garbel extracts
What makes the President so popu-
larat the South :,
Contrast, sir, contrast The more
he amt like your party, the more popu-
lar he is. He would treat us about
right, | reckon, if YOU would let him
alone, but YOU bedeviI him so that
sometimes he don't understand him
self | don't think he knew for
while whether his Peace Proclamation
restored the writ of habeas corpus or
not But do YOU 90 on and impeach
him, and that viii bring matters to a
focus. I'll bet you'll be in Fort Dele
ware in q week, and the Southern mem
bers be here in their seats, and they'll
look round at the political wreck and
ruin and plunder and stealage that's
been gom on, and they might eXclaim
IN the language of thepoet,
Who's pin here since Tsh pin gone
Mr.. Arp, suppose we should have
a war with England or France, what
would the rebels do Z"
They d follow Gen Lee, and Gen
Johnston and Longstreet, and Bragg
and old Bory. My opinion is, that
Gen. Lee would head the Union army,
and Gen Grant would be his chief Of
staff, and Gen Buell. would rank mighty
high, and
"What would you do with Gen.
Sherman z"
Sorry YOU mentioned him. We'd
have to hire him, | reckon as a camp
fiddler, and make him sing HoH Co
lum5ia by freight, as a warnin to
the boys how mean it is to burn cities
and towns, and make war upon de
fenceless women and children No,
sir, our boys wouldent fight under no
such"
At this time the man with the mem
orandum put down somemore garbled
extracts,
"Doyou think, Mr. Arp, that if the
South should ever hold the balance of
power, they would demand pay for
their negroes 2
Il can't say, sir Butt don't think
the South has lost anything that way.
We got their labor before the war for
their vittels and clothes and doctors
bills, and we get it now for about the
same It's all settled down that way
and your Bureau couldent help it.
The only difference is in the distribu
ton Some of us don't own as many
as we used to, but everybody has got
a nigger or two now, and they'll all
vote EN- or turn EN- off \ niger that
wouldent vote as | told him, shOuldent
black my boots
At this time the Committee looked
ut one another, seemin to be bothered
and astonished. Garbled extracts
were put down with vim.
Mr. Boutwell," says he, Mr.. Chair
man, | think, sir, we are about
through with the witness l think, sir,
mis- testimony settles the question as
to what we ought to do with Southern
traitors
The chairman give me republican
nod and remarked, Yes, sir, l think
we do The scoundrels burnt my
iron works
Whereupon l retired, having given
general satisfaction.
Yours truly, BILL ARP.
