THE CORNERS sOUTRAGED-THE OUlLLO-
TINE AT woRK-CAPT. MPELTER DE-
cAPITATED AND A NIGER MADE ASSES
soR IN HIS PLACE.
Posr oFF1s, CoNFEDRIr ROADS,
(Which is in the State nv Kentucky
Taset April 8, 1869.
Eff the Dimocrisy Nv the North arn't
satisfied by this time that the ultimate in
tenshen Nv the Ablishnists is to subjoo-
gate EN- and redoose EN- to the level Nv
the Niger, the voice Nv one risin from
the dead woodn't avail nothin. Yester
day the last outrage witch q chivalrous
people has been compelled to bear, wuz
perpetrated onto citizen Nv the Corners.
d Mgger IS noac an offs holder at the Cor
ners shell state the case calmly:
81 The posishen NV Assessor Nv Internal
Revenoo for the Deestrick Nv witch the
Corners is the centre, hez bin held sence
A. johnson hez bin President, by Capt
Hugh McPelter, late Nv Morgan's Cavalry,
G. s. a. That he hez filled the posishen
to the satisfaction NV the citizens Nv
the Corners, no one denies. He is q
distiller, in fact he and Elder Penni-
hacker run the two distilleries in the
town, and they hev did thrivin biznis.
McPelter wuz Assessor, and Pennibacker
NV the capital NV the Corners hez bin
substracted and carried to Washington to
feed the Ablishen thieves there. Ez no
tax hez ever bin paid on the whisky at
this place. Bascom hez bin enabled to
continyoo to sell it at five cents per
drink, while everywhere else the regler
price is ten and fifteen. There wuz other
advantages in havin the Assessorship and
Collectorship in their hands. BY simply
hintin to EN- that it was my dooty ez Fed
raj offis-holder to investigate their modes
Nv doin the Government biznis, hev not
only bin the happy recipient Nv scores Nv
two gallon jugs, but hev bin enabled, ut
divers and sundry times, to prokoor loans
Nv EN- OF various amounts, the lowest beln
$175, and the highest reaching $50.
This happy condishun NV affairs is
bustid. Gabriel Babcock, nigger-that
is, a half niger, formerly the property Nv
Deekin Pogram, and who looks enuf like
the Deekin's oldest son Jehiel to be his
halfbrother, wuz last week appinted, and
confirmed Assessor in the place of Capt.
McPelter, and imejitly he entered onto
the discharge Nv his dooty.
There are many feechers pekolyerly ag-
ravatin in the appointment. To begin
with, this Babcock wuz VIGOROUSLY OBJ.
noxyas to the Corners doorin the late un-
pleasantnis. At the beginnin thereof he
run away from Deekin Pogram and en-
tered the Federal servis. He wuz pertik-
erly activ and cussid. His knowledge Nv
the country made him yooseful to the Fed
raj officers ez guide and scout, and at
least one Fedral victry is cnargeable direct
to the information he brot. Then his wife
wuz knowd to hev hid five Fedral soljers
who he'd escaped from Andersonville
When he finally fell into the hands NV
Capt McPelter at Fort Pillow kin it be
wondered at that he wuz left for dead or
kin 1t be wondered at that the people NV
the Corners wuz surprized when he ap-
peared among EN- at the close Nv the war
with one leg off and one arm stiff? Not
much. Capt McPelter wuzn't in the
habit NV half dom his work, and the ap-
pearance Nv this niger who had passed
through his hands ruther astonished the
Captin.
Doorin his absence he he'd learned to
read and write, and he wuz made teach
er in the Freedmen's Skool witch wuz es-
tablished in this place, and now he is As.
SCISSOR, with Pollock on his bond.
Ez a matter Nv course we despair Nv
the Republic Wat Freedom can there
be for us with a niger in offishel posishen
to tyranize over US? Wat man Nv culcher,
NV edjucashen, Nv refinement, kin afford
to live in community where disgustin
mulatto is made not only our ekal but our
sooperior?
Deekin Pogram said this Indignantly to
Joe Bigler, who immejitly askt the Deekin
whether or not he didn't count Babcock's
mother his ekal thirty years ago? WITCH
y.oIx III
the Deekin's wife, who hez temper, wuz
the occasion Nv severe remarks between
the worthy pair. Joe Bigler delites in
opening old sores. ~
The first act NV this Babcock in his of
fishel capassity wuz the shuttin up Nv Nc
Peters and Pennibacker's distileries, and
Bascom's bar on the skore that none Nv
EN- he'd never taken out licenses, or even
paid any taxes. Their wuz the most terri
fic ebulishen Nv feelin at this act of ty-
ranny that it hez ever bin my lot to wit
ness.
Kill the id niggerw
"Hang the black cuss !" ,g
"Down with the Afrikin despot"
Shouted the enfuriated citizens. With
a refinement Nv crooelty witch Good only
be the offspring NV most depraved and
vishus mind, he shut up these places at Z
O'clock in the morning, before one Nv the
citizens he'd he'd his mornin bitters! He'd he
postponed it an hour we might hev fought
it out, for some one else wood hev pro-
koored supply, before noon, and things
wood hev gone on normal. But here

and successful. The citizens Good hold out
but fifteen minutes, and they all surren-
dered. They gave bonds to witch they
all appended their marks to indemnify
the Government for back taxes, and COM
PEELED Bascom to take out license. This
done the niger, who wuz backt up by
Bigler and Pollock, opened his doors and
the multitood surged in and wuz satisfied.
To think Nv a niger holdin the destinies
Nv the corners in his hands
Ez matter Nv course Elder Pennibac-
ker will follow next indeed he wants
to resign now, for, SEE he, with the As
sessorship in hostile hands Nv wat avail is
it. to- be Collector? And then, how long
will my head stay on my shoulders? Is a
niger to takemy placer" Already Bascom
has raised his price to 10 cts. per drink,
and notified me that likker from this time
out is cash, and already hez Pennibacker
and McPelter refoozed to lend me cent |!
My Kingdom is crumblin. The eleckshen
