Finally, one mornin ! got despatch
that Sheridan wood be relieved that day
and the enthoosiasm billed up sgtn-this
time shared in it, for i felt that that
wuz trooly suthin. IT wuz impossible
to restrane the gentle lambs Nv the club
any longer. Ez sort of a lunch, preced-
ing the feast that wa9 to come, they
sailed out and made it lively for SIGH
niggers ez they Good git safely near to.
AT noon, the next dispatch came to me.
The entire membership Nv the club wuz
gathered around, impashent to hear me
sound the glad tidins over Egypts dark
sea. broke the SEAL
Sheridan is removed this day ="
"Ror Ror Ror !" chssred the club.
"And Thomas is appointed in his
place"
So read the dispatch. There wuZ nary
cheer follered it. The NEST death-like
silence pervaded the rooms. One by
one, the members skulked cut to settle
with the niggers whose heds they had
bustid in the mornin, and to ashoor EN-
it wuz all joke. The lists wuZ de-
stroyed and the revolvers and shot guns
wuz all packed away. At a Gaeetin held
immejitly, the follerin resolooshens wuz
passed.
Resolved, That it is possible for men
whose faith is bigger nor 3 grain Nv
mustard seed to hev confidence in Presi-
dent johnson, but ourn is gin out.

and he give us stone we asked him
for an egg and he give us scorpion,
Resolved, That q committee Nv two be
appointed to toss up for the difference
between Sheridan and Thomas, and
another to figger up wherein we are
better of under Grant than we wuz
under Stanton.
ResOlpsS, That the President, in awakenin
hopes only to dash EN- 10 the ground,
is guilty NV crooel disregard Nv our
feelins.

anything for us why don't he do it,

At this pint another dispatch came. l

They don't do Johnson justice down
