% Recently in Vicksburg
there was a large Democratic
procession in which were borne
several U. S. flags, which, at the
request of several citizens, had
been loaned them by the Post
Quartermaster. The parade of
voters being large and impressive,
alarmed the carpet baggers, sew
eral of whom called on Gen. Gil
lem, and complained that his Off
Ger had furnished flags to pro,
cession which was ''impeding
reconstruction
"Gentlemen," said the General,
"you are the d-dest fools I ever
saw. | fought these people four
years to make them carry the
flag, and now you are mad be-
cause they wish to march under

Spoons For Rr1rI pp

SPOONS FOR BUTLER-PoNIEs
FOR GRANTING read in a Mo-
bile paper that a little son of
General Grant rides about in the
City of Washington on a pony,
followed by a soldier in the, uni
form OF the United States army,
We think the occupation of the
soldier might be more aptly filed
by a eunuch of the Eastern hem
isphere. But to the pony there
hangs tale: if it is a Shetland
pony it belongs to James w. Wat
son of this county. After the
surrender of Vicksburg, Grants
little boy rode a pony about the
streets of that city attended by a
negro. The little boy used to say
that Pa captured him from the
rebs. But the rebs thought his
Pa had stolen him from the owner;
and that stealing ponies for his
children was not leading them in
the way they should go. People
in this region talk freely about
the thefts of Butler and Wash
burn; but in our ethics there is
little or no difference between
stealing spoons and stealing po-
nies-since neither should be
taken for public military use, or
accounted for in the Quartermas-
ters IN partment. Ifthereis truth
in history, General Scott would
have had all three of the forego-
ing Generals arrested, tried and
punished by eourt-martial.- II Port

patient in the hope that the great

the curses that now afflict them.

scorned to go over to those who
