The Sweetwater forerunner. [volume] (Sweetwater, Tenn.) 1867-1869, 1868-06-04

Is IT SEDITroN Some friends have ar
gued that our Reverend Governor will
treat Democratic organization as sedition
and mayhap disband our coming State
Convention as a nest of traitors at the
point of the bayonet.
But we have seen no evidences that
Brownlow will prevent Democratic organ
ization BY force. And he is despotic
enough, God knows, without impairing by
exaggeration the effect of our just denun-
Citations.
We propose simply to cooperate with
the majorities in the "loyal" States of
New York, Pennsylvania, and Ohio. And
we say to Brownlow eff that be treason,
make the most of it,"
If, in his madness, he would make trea-
son of it, and prevent us from exercising
the merest privileges of free-born men, it
is we'll that the test should be made, and
that the world should be made aware Of
the result.
But Brownlow will not do it. To for.
bid open, honest, Democratic organization
would be such justification of secret So
cieties as no despot can afford to give.
1t may disturb his equanimity it may
raise his bile but he must endure it!

The Sweetwater forerunner. [volume] (Sweetwater, Tenn.) 1867-1869, 1868-06-04

CIRcUML ocUrIoN.-A Cincinnati,
few years since, an unsophisticated darkey
waited upon certain military gentleman
with bill of $l9,l5 for washing done at
the camp hospital, which after undergo
ing a rigorous scrutiny by the officer, was
returned with the following explanation,
which the astonished son of Ethiopia lis
tened to with an equal amount of wonder
and perplexity:
"This BILL" said the military gentle
man, "will first have to be sent to the
Quartermaster General at Washington,
and he will report to the Adjutant Gem
eral, and he will lay it before the Secre-
tary of War for his approval. The Adju-
tant being satisfied, it will be sent to the
Auditor of State, who will approve of it
and send it to the Secretary of the Treas
ury, who will send it to the United States
Treasurer, who will at once dispatch an
order to the collector of this port to pay
the bill"
The darkey relieved himself of long
drawn sigh. "Then, massa," he remarked,
'dat last gemblam you spoke OBJ pays for
de washing, does he %
"No," continued the other, she will
hand it to the Quartermaster; but as there
is no. such officer here at present, some
proper person must be appointed by the
Secretary of War, under direction Of the
President, and his appointment must be
approved by the Senate. Congress not
being in session now, the commission can
not be issued until it meets. When this
commission is received, the Quartermaster
viii show it to the collector; he will pay
it, you giving your receipt"
The unfortunate negro first scratched
his head, then shook it, and finally said /:
81 guess I'll hab toilet dis washing slide,
but it am de last job does for Uncle
Sam; shure !"
