g Wishes them we'll, if they will do as he tells
f them. Thinks Gov. Vance the greatest man
that ever treated members ola rebel Legisla-
f ture to blockade whisky when the article was
scarce. Thinks all our young men ought to
initiate Gov. Vance Thinks " the cause
|. is only apparently lost. Hence he wants
meeting, and sent the young men +" round
: with paper to get it up. Regrets that MIR.

politics. 49,.

law.

tanned his principles for four years with the
utmost tierceness, in the shade.

have fought for them, if he had not been
sure the Confederacy" would succeed

r. j. Hayaoood. -Physician-very good
one. Wanted a war for long time to save
his negroes" While the war was going
on, had two pair fine carriage horses. "Con-
federacy' wanted one pair. Refused to give
them up, and appealed to Secretary of War.
Secretary gave him his two pair, and took
Holden's one pair. Got mad with the Quar-
termaster, because on personal grounds he
was not disposed to Cypress Holden. Wrote
to Secretary to turn Quartermaster out, for
the reason, among others, that he lived with
in forty rods of Holden, and was seen the
morning after Holden was mobbed with his
hand ON Holden's shoulder Intended to
fight when Sherman reached here, but fed.
Came back. Holden got sorry for him, and
procured his pardon. Knows no mere about
politics tn an Thames oyster does about the
Bishop of London, but is ready to join in
every crusade against Holden. Queer, isn't
it?
j. D. Guthrie, Jr.-Wants his rights. Did
mot begin to fight till after Lee surrendered.
Writes romatic dispatches for the Associa-

Left his seat in the Senate to engage in the
rebellion. Thinks he will be relieved some
day of his disability. Mistaken. Persecu-
ted Union men during the rebellion. A good
rebel.
L. s. Perry-Retired tooth-carpenter
Writes a juicy advertisement. Thinks the
should be restored, especially
the Confederate one. Wanted his rights,
but too feeble to fight for them during the
rebellion. Expects large trade from the
colored people as soon as he gets his white
mans party under way. Colored people don't
think so. .
IT, @. DsCdrteret.- of the opinion, judg-
matically enunciated, that Quintilian was
correct when he observed that wisdom would
die with just such young men as himself
Tried repeatedly to fight for his rights, but
the regiments he Joined left him without due
notice Thinks Mr. johnson will supply the
deficiency. Would like to be in some safe
place on Mr. Johnson's staff. Thinks Mr.
Pell is goose, but tolerates him on account
of Seaton. Will be a good Republican in
less than twelve months. Means no harm
by signing the paper.
J.J Ouerby.-Is afraid of NEGRO equali-
ty." Wants his rights. Neglected to fight
