Bad news travels fast. We have
heerd from enuff of the States to know
that the butcher Grant-he wich wunst
afore stood in the way Nv the Confed-
eracy-hez been elected President, and
that Seemore and Blare, our gellorious
Standard bearers, hev bin defeated ig-
ANONYMOUSLY.
This ends it. This finishes it. There
is no longer hope for Democrisy. Cur
star is sot in gloom. Never shell I for
git the CHASTITY appearance NV Deekin
Pogram's face, ez the fatal nooze was
told him. A single tear rolled from his
left eye down his furrowed cheek.-it
glittered for brief moment on the tip
Nv his brillyant nose, and plunged off
into space. How like our hopes. Never
word said he, but sadly beckoned me
to foller. Sadly he walked he walked
to the square, mournfully he pulled
down the Confedrit flag which hez
waved from the pole in front of Bas-
CONS. tenderly he folded it, and placed
it under the bari Nv whiskey in tn bar.
"Thar let it rest" gasped he in o hus-
ky tone. cit will never kiss the breeze
no more" And overcome with emo
shun, the good man burst into flood
Nv teers, witch saved his life The drain
of moisture from his syrtem made it
necessary for him to take suthin to fill
its place, and that suthin was strength
ening. To save him I took suthin
strengthenin too.
And Ben Butler is elected. That ex-
cellent Conservative, Richard A. Dana,
who has forgotten that ruffled shirts
went out of date twenty yeas ago, and
who still reads the Nashnel Intelligen-
Ger sposin it to be Wing paper, is de-
feated, and Butler, who wunst hung a
Democrat in Moo Orleans and who
wood do that same every mornin to give
him an appetite, is fastened onto this
here wunst happy but now distracted
country Jor two yeers more. Gracious
Hevins send the yaller fever to the
Corner now, and finish us up to wunst.
1 wont say word as to the causes
NV this most terrible defeat. Seymour
wood make speeches. with hez allus
bin fatle to Presidenshul aspirants, and
Blare would rite terrible letters, witch
is just as bad. Besides, Blare fairly
represents us, which druv off all the de-
cent people, and Seymour ruther prids
hisself on being gentleman, witch
chilled the ardor of our party. The
nominashens was unforchinit, but I
don't reproach EN-. Its fate.
sigh, Deekin Pogram signs, and
the rest uor oirkle wood sigh, only they
heven't returned from Injeany, VIII er
they hev gone to vote in the interest
Nv the Constitooshen, and to aid in the
maintenance Nv the laws.
Sigh. I hev reason to sigh. For Pol
lock will get the Post Offs after ALL
Tho his hands are contaminated by be-
in taken into the hands NV niggers-
his hands witch handles kaliker and
draws molassess, and is consekently de-
graded by earnin his own livin-his
hand will pass out to Deekin Pogram
the papers wich the Corners takes. =
The Deeken, ez he thought NV this bust
into teers again. 81 shell stop that pa
per-" SEE he, "and the Corners shell go
back Into the darknis of ignerauce. I
shell never again go for letter-nor
will ever have one for me to anybody
When Ablishn face is at the general
deliv cry I shell stop paternizin the Post
Offs"
Will the Adm inistrashun deprive a
whole community Nv paper merely to
give one of its supporters posisnun ?
We shell see.
But, I Good endoor, the loss Nv my
posishun-for principle I kin look mar
terdom squarely in the face-but I see
other and more terrible results followin
this ca tastrophe.
Wat nv the niggers ? Wat Nv us ?
We shell hev niggers votin at the Cor
ners. We shell hev at our poles, all NV
the black cusses who live between here
and Garrettstown, votin ez regler ez
though they wuz white men. We shell
hev EN- deflin the sacIed ballot box ez
