Old Winter, t"clothed in robes of snow
and frost" has come again. The time
for sleighing and the season for parties
has returned. We cannot esjoy the
amusements of the season for the
thoughts of high taxes, and of another
long term of oppression under the rule
of scalawags and carpet-baggers drive
all feelings of pleasure from us. We
had hoped to see the country Olsen.
thralled and loosed from the yoke of
Radicalism, we had looked forward to
this as time when we could come from
under the black cloud that has SO long
overshadowed us and feel that we were
freepaen; but they were
"Those high built hopes that crush US by
their fan,
and we now draw the veil ever the fu-
ture, unwilling to see what evil may be
in store for US, thinking shat sufficient
unto the day is the evil thereof"
But with all the troubles and dire
disasters that have befallen US, we con-
sole ourselves with the reflection that
we will have no more Court until April,
and our village will not be cursed by
the presence of our notorious" Judge
during the winter, unless he slip up to
spend a while with that "gal of hiss"
but, as he has so many "female pets"
he will scarcely ride through the cold
and over bad roads, to see this one.
Unfortunately for the jurors and those
who have business at Courts, the favor
ite sweetheart of ellis Honor" lives five
or six miles from town; consequently,
when he wishes to spend an evening
with her, he adjourns Court at three
o'clock in the evening, and does not get
back until eleven or twelve next day.
Yet the business of the county must be
stopped for his amusement. Oh, when
will the day come that we will be rid of
scalawag Judgesf .
"Bolivar Young" of "hoss pistop
notoriety, who claims to be our repre-
sentative in the Senate, knows this
fact and many others of equally infa
nous character against Judge Harrison,
yet never opens his mouth, never says
impeachment once-but if a Judge of
the State pursues conservative course
he joins in the cry of "impeach him,
impeach him." and Immediately throws
him overheard. Perhaps Bolivar has
weakness akin to NathaniePs, and as
"fellow feeling makes us wendrous
kind" it may be for that reason that he
has nothing to say against his brother
Radical. "Of sicb is Radicalism" any
how, and it seems to do no good to ex-
pose them, for the more villainies they
are guilty of the more honors are show
cred upon them.
We have new arrival in our village
of the carpet-bag persuasion, although
he does not deserve the name of carpet
Dagger" for he didn't even bring a
carpet-bag with him. He halls from
the State of Pennsylvania, and ! think
we ought TO protest against that State
flooding ours with its "rifratf.' We
would like to have some of their best
men, but for honesty's sake they ought
not to impose upon us, for We have
Neylin from that State, and he is as
much as one community can stand.
Our new conner is g protego of Nathan
iers, and came here to "squat." He
saws that he is lawyer and "truly
lovalD He came on foot and brought
no clothing-not even change of linen
A little boy who saw him enter town,
says that he came singing
Nothing in my hand 1 bring
Simply 10 loyalty cling
Our carpet-baggers are like the wind
whence they come and whether they 90
no one knows, and not mahy care to
know; but they generally manage to get
a pocket full of the peoples money be-
fore they 90. The contemplate wretch
es come here to take advantage of our
misfortunes, and by the aid of degraded
Virginians, like Nat. Harrison, Alex.
Humphries and others, they manage to
get into positions where they can rob
us. By the way, ash "Bolivar Young"
if he got his bribe of thousand dollarS
for getting bill through the Legisla-
ture for making q road from Edray
through to Webster county. Through
the opposition of Rev. Gregory he failed
in getting his bill through, and as "the
best laid schemes of mice and men often
gange aglee," he failed to get his money.
this week, in the Academy at Hillsboro.
The whites in that community were not
loyal enough, go the Trustees wouldn't
allow them teacher. The old academy
is a time-honored institution, and now
must be prostituted to such low pur-
poses. We hang our heads for shame,
but are powerless to DO anything. A
man named Morrison teaches the youth
full dxskies. He is brother of the
President of the Board of Supervisors
of this county. He was inside OF the
Federal lines, but came through, and
volunteered into the Confederate army,
yet is radically loyal now, and, of
course, is oil right in the eyes of our
rulers. Let them go on, if they think
there is no hereafter. They may see
the day when they will call for the
rocks and mountains to fall upon them,
to save them from the avenging sword
of Justice. All will be we'll after while.
