NV course, for 1t wuZ at Bascom's, and
Capt. McPelter, and Issaker Gavett,
and Job Bigler, who wuz, materially,
mischeevusly intoxicated, We he'd
met to rejoise over the result NV the
Kentucky elecshun and the removal NV
Stanton, and we wuz rejoisin We he'd
bin reioisin for several hours, when
the Deekin, blessins on his frosty pow,
perposed that we take one more drink,
to wich we eckseeded with alacrity. Ez
Bascom handed back the Deekin his
change, the old man observed among
it a most vlllainous counterfeit ten cent
postal currency. "Bascom, sed he in
an injoored tone, Greatly | can't take
that--its counterfeit" "Certain It's
Deekin," sed George W., "certain, but
what's the odds! Ez matter ov course
Deekin, III git it again afore tomorrer.
It's evenchooally my loss, ain't it, ez l
git all the money that floats here? Car
ry it till it comes round to me, Deekin,
in the material course NV evence. Let
us bear each others burdens, Deekin!"
And Bascom smiled sweetly onto him
don't know when l felt so happy,
kentucky had spoken We he'd elected
Helm by majority;of forty odd thous-
! and, and he'd with him elected strate
State ticket, including all the Congress-
men. The Abolitionists he'd no show
whatever The candidates were strate
Demokrats, every one NV EN-. Some
uY EN- he'd bin accoosed NV leanin
towards the Fedrel side, but they he'd
by afidavits proved themselves troo to
the nemocrisy. One candidate he'd
bin charged by a envious cuss, NV hevin
furnisht the Fedral forces with hosses,
but he Indignantly repeled the charge.
His enemies brought torrerd the docu-
ments shown that he he'd furnisht the
Fedrel forces with hosses, and | trem-
bled fer him. But he smilingly cum to
the scratch. He he'd contracted to fur
nish 'em with hosses--he he'd taken
their accursed greenbacks, but where
fore? Wuz it to benefit EN-? Wuz it
to add to the resources of the gorilla
Linkin, or the reversed Let the facts
answer. When wuz the hosses deliv-
cred? Ha! ha! Did the Fedral ofliser
git 'em? He did. Did he keep 'em
Aars! That mite John Morgan, who
seeled his devoshen to the Confederacy
with his blood, scooped EN-, and them
hosses which the Fedrals paid for did
servis in the Contedrit army. He would
ask his maligners whether 1t was sinful
for true Confedrit to take money NV
the Fedrels for furnishing supplies to
the Confederacy? Had these horses
remained in the hands NV the farmers

Good not fail to convince, and the can
didate wuz NV course, electid. The
shafts of his enemies feel pintless.
Therefore, l felt happy. The waves
nv Ablishism rolled over all the other
States, but against Kentucky they
struck harmless. Kentucky is a brite
oasis in the desert. Built onto Ham
and Hagar, bleevin in the sooperiorityuy
the white race, and that same race holdin
in their hands the privilege NV sayn
who shood and who shood not vote,
they wuz safe. And we sot in silence,
contemplatin our happiness,
At last Deekin Pogram spoke. He
sighed ez be spoke. lie he'd heard NV
Tennessee. He he'd seen the lection
returns, and he wuz ez much afflicted
ez we wuz reioist. "Wherefore," sed
he, "shood we feel good while our
brethren in Tennessee are waiin over
ther woes. The nigger with us is in
his normal speer. | hev twelve a
sweatin on my farm and four expiatin
the cuss NV Noer in my kitchen. The
men yield to the power Nv the strong
er race, and the females bow meekly to
their destiny. Tom, my eldest son, is
happy and stays at home, and my other
sons is ez as contented ez they kin be.
But it is not so in Tennessee. There
they are not normal. There white men
bow beneath a power they can't resist.
There the niger hez vote, and the
white man, who follered his State, is
disfranchised. lie Good feel good over
Kentucky, but he wept over Tennessee.
Bascom remarkt that he too felt for
Tennessee, but he wuz consoled. Ken
lucky he'd proved troo, and Johnson,
one worthy son NV Tennessee, had re-
moved Stanton. Wat more Good we
want? kentucky had gone Democrat
ic, and Johnson had removed Stan
ton
"And Tennessee he'd elected Brown
low, and Johnson hez appointed Grant,"
whispered Joe Bigler
This bit u.s. This griped us. This
is wuss nor cathartic to us. Ef Ken
lucky is oil, Tennessee is aquafortis. =
Eff Stanton is soothin, Grant is pizen.
Wherein are we better with the one than
with the other?-is a question which
we ask ourselves over aud over again.
But we felt good after all. The De-
mocracy NV Tennessee may suffer, and it
is probable they will snffer There the
Ethiopian votes by state law, but Ken
lucky is herself alone. Kentucky will
never be SO afflicted. Kentucky hez
yet the maxim NV her own laws. She
will let them vote ez she sees fit, and
none others. Relyin on Ham and Ha-
Gar, she will deny the niggers that rite,
