A SOUTHERN ScALAwAG on CARpEr BAccERs.
|-Hunnicutt the Richmond chief of the Vir-
ginia scalawags, expresses his opinion of car
pet-baggers in this fashion
These miscreant adventurers, having no
character Of their own to lose, and no prop
erty to tax, and no responsibilities resting on
them. meanly, basely and cowardly seek to
build up reputation with the colored peo-
Pile by lying and defaming and trying to pull
down the good names of gentlemen who
would scorn any association with them what,
ever. Besgars, they seek their fortunes BY
whining and crying for Office. Producing
nothing, they would suck the last drop Of
blood from the veins of every Virginian tc
fill their own empty pockets, and then, in
justification of their own base acts, would
filch from them that which is worth more
than nll the sordid wealth of the earth-ther
fair reputation, their good name. These
ravenous, devouring wolves in sleeps cloth

execration of all good men and the eternal
anathemas of a just and righteous God. Their
acts will find them out. and they will be
brought to shame and infamy at LAST.

A SPURIOUS NAPoLEoN-AN ExTRAoRDI-
NARY SToRY.-In one of the last numbers of
the Ldnterne, Eochefort says that the belief
thnt Napoleon III. is the nephew of Napoleon
l., and the con of Hortense, is entirely errone-
Ous. Napoleon III. is, on the contrary. a
journeyman bricklaver. who, in 1916,
stranged Prince Louis Napoleon, at Ham,
and now claims to be the Prince. '' If my
information is correct" says NJ. Rochefort,
'the story of Prince Louis Napoleon's figh,
from the fortress Ham is a mere invention.
Scarcely had Prince Louis crossed the thresh-
old of the fortress, than the bricklayer chang
ed his mind, rushed upon him, took the blouse
and hod from him. stranged him. fled to
England, and. in 1913, returned to France,
to be elected President of the Republic. On
the Cd of December. 1851. he stained his
hands with French blood, married the woman
you know, and, happy at having changed bis
trowel for sceptre, he amused himself by
dancing on a tight-rope of politics. without
usoecting that there would be day when
his identity would be discovered, and the
most ignominous Punishment for swindling in
this manner be inflicted on him. He whom
pity most, of course, next to ourselves, is the
Young and interesting Louis Bonaparte, whom
the forger has deprived of his life, and whom
he disgraces by doing the very reverse of " hat
the Young Prince had promised in his mani
festoes. This is the authentic history of the
hero of Ham. And, in effect. the moment We
know that journeyman bricklayeI is seated
on the French throne, we are able to account
for everything-the inoessant building mania
the needless appropriations, the demolition
and rebuilding of the Tuileries the intolerah|e
mania to mix up everything like lime. the
plaster with which the Empress covered her
face every morning, and finally the edfce
whose cornation be promises us all the time,
shows plainly that % bricklayer is at the head
of France. There is one reflection, however,
which consoles my wounded self-love. Long
before made this terrible discovery, had
always asserted that such men as Baroche
Pinard. Walewski, Rouher. Persiguy, and
the like. were. at the most. fit TO be hod-carri

Captain T0bin's Letter.

The following letter from the pen of Cap
tam Tobin has been furnished US by friend.
IL was published years ago in the New Orleans
Ueita. as an illustration of the philosophy of
letter-writing. The correspondence actually
occurred in 1916, between the Second Audi
tor and Captsin Tobin. The gallant captain
was a'son OF Erin. Full of mirth, Wit and
vivacity. he could not be grave even in official
correspondence. His letter was published all
over the country at the time it was written,
and excited the merriment of every body.
Poor Tobin Like many other knights of
the quill as we'll as the sword, he came to
California. and died at Stockton in 1919.
The Delta. in its introductory remarks up
on the letter of Capt. Tobin. says: "Mr. Nc
Gala, it will be seen. is positive, pointed. and
senteEtious. Capt. Tobin is candid. discur-
sive. and didactic. The whole, if not trench
