THE CHICAGO POST AND THE
IRISH.

IRISH.
A scurrilous article which lately ap-
peared in the Chicago Post, in which the
Irish race is spoken of in a vile and in
sulting manner, is being diligently circu-
lated by the Democrats for the purpose of
influencing Irish votes. The article would
be beneath notice if these efforts of Dem
ocratic politicians were not giving it I'M
due prominence. Whoever asserts that it
speaks the sentiments Of the Republican
party, or has any sympathy from it, know
ingly asserts what is false. The Post is
no mouthpiece for the party, nor any part
oft. It is comparatively new paper
and has neither the respect nor conf
dence Of the community whore it is pub
Iished. In Chicago the article fell dead
without effect, and the, Irish Tanner Clubs
continued to increase the same as before
it was published The Editor of the
Post is a notorious character, whose re-
putation as a journalist and business
man is anything but reputable While
editor Of the Tribune he assailed Ere
mont in the bitterest and most malignant
manner, simply because the latter when
| IN command at St Louis, did not devote his
time and attention to the said editor sufi-
GENTLY to crafty his vanity During the
| war by some hocuspocus he accumulated
large fortune, the greater part of which
he invested in his wife's name, and with
| the balance he went to Boutwell, Canada,
where engaged largely in oil opera
tons. All went smoothly for time and
| he was considered as most successful
and enterprising operator. But it proved
that his enterprises had been conducted
IN the most reckless and dishonest man
ner, for when the bot tom fell out of the
oil business no one was found so deeply
involved as our editor, nor was there any
one whose dishonesty caused such wide
spread injury and ruin as his There is
to-day scarcely man within forty miles
of Boutwell, who would not be glad to
know when DR.. Rays pay day is to come
The Doctor then retired to Chicago
where he still had fine fortune in re-
serve, and in the course OF time became
connected with the Post. Not long after
this occurred he sold himself to the
friends of the President during the i'm
| parchment trial, and in the most shame
less manner turned sharp corner and
changed sides completely lin single day
| The vile ISLANDERS CT the Post require no
refutation where it is known the scurri-
lous article in question carries its own
combination upon its face and will in
fuence no sensible man in the least degree.
Irishmen can well afford to receive in
silent contempt the assaults of such an
obscure and corrupt sheet.
As for the trickster politicians who are
SO busy circulating this document, we
have only to say-let them go on. No
one likes the man who retails SANDERS
against his character any more than the
one who originates them and we believe
| that 1rishmen will have no less thanks
for the vile wretch who wrote the article
than Cor those others equally vile who are
SO busy publishing it to the world.

MR.. COLFAX AND THE IRISH.

Two years before Blair made his out
rageously insulting speech about the
Feniaus already widely published
Schuyler Colfax, Blair's opponent in this
Presidential campaign, wrote letter to
the Fenians which we now publish, and
ask Irishmen to read and contrast it with
Blair's speech:

HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES,

WASHINGTON, FEBRUARY 20. 1864.
DEAR SIR From the time that saw
the gallant and lamented Corcoran, so
brave in battle, so heroic in captivity
was the head Of your organization, I have
felt warm interest in it, though know
ing nothing of course, Of its internal
machinery, its obligations or its ritual
Remembering gratefully the historical
fact OF warm sympathy expressed by an
Irish Parliament for our fathers when
struggling for the independence they won
for US, regarding hopefully every we'll
directed and patriotic endeavor through
out the world for nationality, and reioic
ing that SO many loyal Irishmen have en-
rolled themselves in the army of the I'm
ion, to save their adopted republic from
anarchy and destruction, [ send you, in
response to your request, the enclosed
twenty dollars, which would be larger
but for many other demands on me.
Respectfully yours,
SCHUYLER CoLFAX.

Died like he had lived, a nigger-loving

Niger preachers alone prayed over

His saddle colored concubine smoothed

AhsnnndAd.

If reports be true, and they seem to be
very reliable, Maj Alex. Gregg, who for
some time has been located at this place pre-
tending to do business for the house of
Thos. Parkes & Co.. Nashville, has abscor-
ded, leaving several individuals in this
place and his own employers at Nashville
small legacies in the shape of unpaid board
bills, saloon bills, drug store accounts, bor-
rowed money Indebtedness, &c. In an
swer to letter of inquiry addressed to his
former employers by a gentleman of this
place. from whom he had borrowed thirty
FIVE dollars, as he said, to finish paying for
lot Of cotton for them. they reply that
they never received but one lot from him
all the time lie was here, aud that he drew
on them for the full amount They know
nothing of his whereabouts.
Maj Gregg came to US well recommend
ed for veracity aud as having made a dis
tinguished confederate soldier and officer
during the war. and up to the time be left
here we proved that our confidence in his
integrity had not abated by loaning him
money to pay his expenses to Nashville
whittier be said he had been called unex
pectedly on business, but would return il
few days aud liquidate. That's the las
we have seen of him.
He certainly obtained money under falls
pretenses, and if his Whereabouts shoulc
be discovered. he is liable to prosecution
under that charge.

Cotton Weigher Weighed.

We learn from gentleman who was
present that some gentleman rather severe
ly ohastised Mr.. Brink, cotton weigher for
Giles County, at Lyunville last Saturday
evening. Mr.. Brink, as we understand,
was rather too basty in expressing his be-
lief to the gentleman that he had told id
lie, and got sound drubbiug for his iudis-
erection. The witnesses of the fight decided
to allow no foul play shown or to allow any
one to interfere until one of them ballowed
"nuff." Brink bleated in a short time,
when his antagonist was taken off. This
is the second time that Brink has been re-
minded in a very forcible way that South
err gentlemen cant be made to swallow the
Odd lie without heaving little.

None Here.

A friend in an rdjoiuing county town.
who is a reader of the Citizen, aud who, by
the way, is an old grocery merchant, in a
friendly letter to us the other day, inquiries
why there are no family grocery and sup
ply houses in Pulaski, and wants to know
lift would pay to open such an establish
ment here. We reply that it is our opin-
ion that the enterprise could be made to
pay, lift was conducted properly by man
who has caught the spirit of the times
prevailing everywhere bot 10 Pulaski there
may be some such establishments here
now, but the medium through which we
and our country readers get our informa-
{. e., the Cit,zen. does Mt indicate any thing
of the sort. We suppose if there is any
thing of the sort here it will certainly be
made known through these columns.

BlooaE 60 1t FaEetteEilIe.


Since last issue. IA which it was stated
upon rumor. that there was an ARRAY at
Fayetteville last week, we have learned the
particulars of the bloody melee.
The affair originated by drunken Rad
zeal bully named Kemp riding into crowd
Ofciiizens aud crying out in Wanting
way, "I'm Radical. and can whip any
id rascal that amt" IFrom this the
Radicals and Conservatives divided of,
and general fight between the two parties
ensued. in which one man named Pamph-
len, Radical. was killed dead, and a brother
OF his and two men named Blown, were
seriously wounded, and we learn that one
5f the Browns has since died.
The Banner learns that among the Con-
servatives was brother OF Captain Boone,
commander of Gen. FORESTS escort during
the war. He received a severe confusion on
.he head. Napoleon Smith was shot through
the feshy part of the hand and beaten a
bout the head with dubbed pistol by one
! of the Pamphlens. Jack McElroy also got
his head badly cut in several places. NJ
merous other participants in the ARRAY were
more or less injured. Elisha Brown, one
Of the Radical leaders. had his lower jaw
broken and suffered internal injuries, from
which it was not thought that he could
! possibly recover.
rs far as we could learn, the fight result
ted in "draw "-neither side being justi-
fed in claiming the victory. The animus
of the participants was more personal than
political, although it can not be doubted
that the bitterness of feeling existing be-
tween the Radicals and Conservatives IL
that section served to aggravate the affair.

ARrFUL DoDeE.-H is lumored in Mau
ry county that Bob Ricketts, the nominee
of the Radical party for Sheriff Of Maury
and a jealous worker and member Of the
Loyal League and one of his Radical chums
dressed themselves 10 the disguise of the
Kuklux and visited several houses in the
vicinity of Mount Pleasant. and at one
house the inmate thereof drew gun upon
them and threatened to shoot them, where
upon Bob Rickettsthrew up his mask and
made himself known.
We begin to suspect that most or all OF
the mischief imputed to the Kuklux is the
work Of the Loyal Leaguers, and done for
some electioneering purpose. The Grand
CyclOPs should keep his good eye open.

A Case of Conscience

We were shown. few days ago, depo-
sition, sworn to and subscribed before an
acting Justice ofthe Peace. by DR.. Camp
bell, of Campbellsville, in this county, to
the effect that one Mr.. Henry shrader, Jr.,
a citizen of that neighborhOod, has gone
deranged upon the subject of politics. His
family and physician assert that he never
gave any intimation of mental alteration
until since he joined the Loyal League and
had his mind contaminated by association
with its members and listening 70 their
foul heresies.
We are not surprised at this IN the least.
1t seems to US that every native born Ten
nessean, belonging to the Loyal League,
with the least vestige of cons oience left,
and who has sense enough to go deranged,
will soon become, if he is not already, a
fft subject for the Lunatic Asylum or-the
State Penitentiary.

where he was found on Sunday morning by his
neighbors. a party ofcitizens have been searching

In the name of the Holy Saints Press d Times,
we beg of you don't make poor Giles the bearer of
all the hellish lies that your pernicious immagina-
ton can concoct. The load is more than we can
bear. Divide out like, among all of the counties
in the State and don't make Giles the very hell Of
bells. We assure you that after diligent inquiry,
we have been unable to find a single person, white
or black, who will corroborate the statement a
bove, or who is acquainted with any individual by
that name in this vicinity.
But if proof positive as holy writ were adduced
ten thousand times ten thousand times over, prov
ing the above statement false, you never would
correct the erroneous impression which you lave
made. But we ask the good people Of Giles to beal
with you for q while. 1t is a bread and meat case
with you you have to lie for living.
