AS he thought they We're, won't pay the

anvbody will pcy him for lobbying, and
uoW he wants me to nave another
court established IN Memphis, Of which
he will be clerk, and Kurnel Lewis judge
and some Kurnel Richardson marshal
and Kurnel Pierce prosecuting attorney.
He saws he don't care if Kurnel Hepburn
is either Judge or prosecuting attorney.
"But," says /, governor the act

Nemphis, il to be passed, and then the
circuit court Is to be there, II they
won't need any new court"
at told shaw all that" said the Gov
ernor. but it didn't satisfy him. He said
he didn't see what profit it was in being
loval. if places could not be provided for
every member Of the league. When l
told him square that the legislature
,rouldolr do II. even for me, he said then
he wanted to be one OF the county COM
missioners that are TO be appointed II the

suppose I must find something for him.
TELL him, governor, y ssysI ], ito get
a bank that amt TO pay taxes ana lhat

n~leaees. Some Memphis fellows have
got such banks, and lots Of Others are
after them.H
az did" said his excellency, but he
said ID cost too much. he said that some
fellow that he called ROsey had given
away a lot Of gold watches, and couldn't
get his bank charter through because he
didn't have enough gold watches to go
all round, TO them that wanted them.

+" Because" said his excellenCy, " the
urice is too high. One chap told Bosey,
fiat out, that Il he didn't pay three thou
sand dollars for = charter, that the CHAP
had got passed sud wanted TO sell, there
couldn't be any charter granted to
Rosey, who wasn't loyal enough any
I how"
WELL says I, " can'tyou give Shaw
one Of them insurance charters? They're
good things
HE csuldn't have them,n said the
governor, they require specie to run
Them, and his capital Is mostly brass.
/ began TO be as much annoyed by
this fellow Shaw IS the governor was,
and says /, .'Theu, governor, give him
the Court square, in Memphis
at don't belong % u.s., said he.
"It belongs to You Just as much As did
[ the wharf and promenade that the legs
Z lature gave to them loyal fellows OF the
1 freighting company says I, " besides
that hurt all the draymen and all the
| commission merchants in Memphis
Well" said he, they amt loyal
much"
Just then a happy thought struck me,
! and says J., governor give him the
state hospital and hospital grounds at
| Memphis. That viii suit exactly"
The Governor said that that world be
paying pretty high for Shaw's loyalty,
but maybe it was the best thing that
could be done, especially as an election is
coming on.
As for the election, saysI, 4 wouldn't
mind that a counterfeit five cent cur
rency note, because that is a sure thing.
Amt the niggers to vote, and amt old
Jim Davis to pick the vOters and the
Judges and the poll clerks, and see that
they fix things up right? and won't
every man in the loyal league be a judge
and n poll clerk and q voter
les" says he. f" but there was q
pesky lot Of certificates given out last
wear, when Davis was a candidate, and
we can't 90 back on them
Cant we,'' says 1. "pdlike TO know
what's to hinder this loyal legislature
from passing an act declaring that al
registration mgst be done over, and if
that is done, can't Davis rule out a pile
3 Of last years certificates 2h
The governor said he'd think about it,
but since Davis had asked the county
court that was rebel to pay him extra for
registering, there was no knowing what
1 he would do this election. Justthen shaw
came in with his pokey manners, p !
told the governor l guessed l would 60
down OWL and see a man. Now II VOC
want me 10 be confidential cOrresp0u-
dent from the governors room You viii
have 90 send on the ~greenbacks hereafter,
as I can't afford to write more than one
letter, a. ID is the fashion here in Nash
vile to gel pay for everything n does.
