Bad news travels fast. We hev heered
from enuff NV the States to know that the
butcher Grant-he wich once afore stood
in the way nv the Confcderacy-has been
elected President, and that Seymour and
Blair, our glorious standard-bearers, hev
bin defeated ANONYMOUSLY.
This ends it! This finishes it There
is no longer hope for Democrisy. Our
star is sot in gloom. Neversl el | forget
the CHASTITY appearance of Deekin Po-
grams face ez the fatal news WIZ told
him. A single tear rolled from his left
eye, down. his furrowed cheek-it glitter
ed for brief moment on the end of his
brilliant nose, and then plunged off into
space How like our hopes! Never a
word sed he, but sadly beckoned me to
foller. Sadly he walked to the square,
mournfully he pulled down the Confe,lrit
flag. wich hez waved from the pole in
front of Bascom's, tenderly he folded it
and placed it under the barrel NV whisky,
in the bar "Thar let it rest" gasped he
i'll husky tone, sit win never kiss the
breezes no more" And overcome with
emoshun, the good old man busted into
flood NV teers, witch saved his life. The
drain nv moisture from his system made
it necessary for him to take suthin to fill
its place, and that suthin wuz strength
min. To save him took suthin strength
min too. -
And Ben Butler is elected That OK
cellent conservative, Richard III. Dana,
who has forgotten that rufflcd shirts went
out nv date 20 years ago, and who still
reads the NaslneL LteLIige'acer, sposin it
to be Wing paper. and Butler, who
wunst hung Demokrat in Moo Orleans,
and who wood that same every mornin
to give him an appetite,is fastened onto
this here wonst happy but now distract
ed country for two yeers more. Grashus
Heyins send the yaller fever to the Cor
hers now, and finish us up to wunst.
won't say word ez to the cause NV
this most terrible defeat. Seymour wood
make speeches, witch hez alluz bin fatl to
Presidential aspirants, aud Blare wood
write terrible letters, witch is just ez bad
Besides, Blare fairly represents us, wieh
druv offzall the decent people, and Sey-
mour ruther prides himself on bein a
gentleman, wich chilled the ardor of our
own party. The nominashens were un-
fortunit, but don't reproach 'em., It's
fate.

rest NV our circle wood sigh, only they
heven't returned from Injeany, where
they heg gone to vote in the interest NV
the Coustitushen, and to aid in the main
tenance OF the laws
Sigh! hev reason to sigh. For Pol
lock will get the Post offs after all. Tho
his hands are contaminated by beiDi taken
into the hands Nv niggers Ibis hands
wich handles kallker and draws molasses,
and is consekently degraded by earnin
his own livin-his hands will pass out to
Deekin Pogram the paper wich the Cor
ners takes! The Deekin, ez he thought
NV this, bust into teers again. Il shall
stop that paper sez he, "and the. Cor
ners shel go back into the darknis of ig-
nerance. l shell never again go for let
ter-nor will ever lev one written for
me to anybody. When Ablishn face
is at the general delivery shell stop pa
