sY Since the nomination of Seymour
and Blair the blood thirsty Jacobincal RAIDS
pretend to be very much in fear ofanother
civil war. Indeed they have all turned in
to "peace sneaks." They even seem TO
have forgotten that ''the colored troops
fought nobly ;" and are shaking in their
boots at Gen Blair's intimation that white
men know and dare maintain their rights
What a miserable craven hearted set of
customers, they are

WORK AWAY.

Gov. Scott, the newly elected Governor
of South Carolina, under the "Black
Crook" Constitution, in his inaugural says,
that no organization exists in that state for
obstructing the laws. A similar statement
in reference to all the Southern States was
made three years ago by Grant, the envoy
extraordinary, in what the Radicals then
denounced as a "whte washing report.
Yet standing army is kept up there, and
is likely TO be kept up as long as therumps
want places where their pets can steal with
impunity, and niggers votes to keep them
in power
Work away white man Radical re-
construction has reconstructed you into
slaves to support this great niger dynasty.
Yes, work away white man !! Its ''disloil''
its the worst kind of cOpperheadism to CON-
plain of taxes and tariffs when everything
is so lovely and the niger roots so high.

Radical Method of Raising the Wind.

Radical Method of Raising the Wind.
The following letters explain themselves;
and show how the bond holders, shoddy
contractors and government thieves are
raising a corruption fund to carry the elec-
tions. This impudent demand is made on
all the supposed ''loil' Post Masters and
office holders In the country. 1t is said to
be per cent of the salary or estimated
receipts. By this rate each "lolP govern
ment teat-sucker can estimate his share of
the fund for getting up enthusiasm for the
yard maker" ana for bribing poor
men to vote for continuance of negro
domination, bond holders oppression, ru-
inous tariffs and taxes, freedmen's bureaus,
for lazy niggers &c. &c.
Capt. Burr, on whom this modest(?) de.
mand is made, having ri4ked his life fol
four years in the war-and suffered wounds
to establish union under the constitu-
ton for white men, concludes to incur tht
risk of official decapitalion rather than aid
in this nefarious plan of brbing pooI
men to vote away their liberties, and the
| bread from their chIldren's mouths.

It is said the nomination OF Cnlfax has
rivcn dissatisfaction to the colored Radl-
zeal, ofthe South. They insist that the
monkey which performed the principal part
with Grant III the circus ring, is entitled
to tn second place, at least, on the ticket.
The only difficulty in the way is where to
fiud the monkey. We think any other
one will do 'Rah for Grant and Jockox.
EEGrant's tour through the West is not
a march Of triumph. The telegraph bare
Iy tells where he is. A few idlers at rail
way stations, here and there, occasionally
give him an Indifferent cheer, which he &C.
knowledges in Indifferent way. As to en-
thusiasm, or even to cordiaity, there i:
none at any point.

A four year old boy WHO rode ponies in
circus, now travelling at the West, was
recently thrown from the back OF one Of
them aud trampled TO death.
We much regret the above accident
That boy might lave been Granted the
