II CITIZEN
By this time We reached the Club
pgain, and for hours / listened TO tales
of oppression on the part of the mill
tary sntraps witch made my blood run
cold. A citizen he'd shot Il nigger-and
forthwith he wuZ torn from the buZZum
NV his family aud inkarceraIed in the
common prizen. Another's wife he'd
throwd "A buckit NV bilin water over n
weuch in the street, Nv witch the per-
verse preacher died, aud she too, was
arrested. Policemen he'd bin dischHrg-
ed for refoUsiu to arrest men whose Epir-
it's coodent brook Niger ekHlity, and
who he'd banged EN- ABOUT somewhat,
and others he'd bin dismisst for burrah-
in for Jeh. Davis and pulliu down Fed
erHl flags. Their he'd bin no liberty NV
speech nor ackshen. This Club room
he'd bin invaded, and pistols and shot
guns he'd bin taken cut by these des-
pots, witch wuZ grindin the citizens
into the dust. But the most oppressive
case wuZ that NV one NV our first citi-
zens, who he'd II girl in his family who
wood persist i'll attendin skools after
lac he'd positively forbid her doin so.
He tied ner up, and in the most patTi-
archal manner gave her one hundred
and fourteen lasheS. She wuZ ObStinit
and died. He gave her Chrischen
berrial. but nevertheless he wuZ pulled
up, and fined and impriZened! Fined
and impriZened for wallopin niger!
Then biZuis commenced. Lists were
beiu made out, the purport nv which |
comperhendId. Enter up" sed one,
oilin revolver, 1.-The nest NV niggers
on the alley iist around the corner from
my house. They hev Their chapel, in
which they hey preechin Sundays, and
skoOIs doOrin the week. Aside from
the annoyance it is to my family, it's
really dangerous. Two hundred mig
ger children attend it, beside the adult
niger classes.
"Enter up" sed anoi her, cleanin out
IL shot gun, 1.-THE grocer on the same
street. He is from Iowa, and teaches
Sunday skool class in the same chapel.
Sich incendinries we kin never ioler-
ate" There's IA Niger church two
squares from me which must be aba
ted" sed another, land, by the way, a
agent NV the niger missionary soEiety
and two teachers from Connecticut
boards next door. Put EN- down" "In
my part NV the city, sed another,
there's four Niger draymen who hev
been impudent enuff TO scrape together
enuG to buy ground and build EN-
bouses. Don't forgit TO put en- down
houses. l" he added, bitterly, al am
II white man and have none, Put EN-
down. When Sheridan goes! ha! hal"
And so on. The sekretary entered
the names ez fast ez they wuZ furnisht
him, cutil the name NV every man
suspected NV Yankee proclivitIes wuz
registered. The uiggers wuz not put
down, 'ceptin them Nv sich prominence

considered entirely safe to kill n niger

in persumih to keep faro banks, wuz
Iriteful.
