Sudden and Violent Explotion Of Pub
Lie Functionaryl

Petroleum and nitro -glycerine are mol
the only substances that explode. Public
functicasries sometimes explode. 1t is a
solemn as we'll as, scieetiic fact: For proof
Of this, read the evidence Of "Governo,
Scott Of South Carolina" in the Hoge and
Reed Investigation. We publish it to-day.
Tie people Of Edgedcld District are promi,
nent actors therein, and they vii! be en,e'.
tained by the perusal. 1t has really come
10 the pass that the public functionaries OF
South Carolina are unable to prosecute
their official labors on account Of their I'm
substantial and pyrctechnic disposition
They grow restless, eat voraaously, become
rheumy-eyed, weak in the legs, swell up
like "pizen purps' and suddenly explode
with report like the crack of a pistol.
The native people of this hapIess land, the
infamous rebels, the bloody, uigger- killing
Democrats, hear the report, and are petr-
fled. They look around, and end their
public functionaries gone. B,h ! there l.
strong aud offensive smell Of roasted car
pet-bagger meat for "a huldred mile s
round
Oh, you vile. wicked, bloody. unrccon-
structed, people Of Edgrfield and Abbevile,
what have you done !? Filled with a spiri,
Of the !direst evil, you have secretly soaked
the food of Gov. Scott in some "demoniac
compound" )" and he has exploded! Ano
b. you, down-trodden niggers and scala
wags-injured darings-to think that you
were SO ignorant of science as not to b.
able to neutraIze The effect OF this "demo-
MAC compound!" !"
We beseech you, erring but beloved
c>untrymen, to be moro circumspect. IIoge
is certainly going to represeu. US in Con-
G ess instead Of Reid !; and he will put us
i /, the hands of the Reconstruction Com
miltee; and for every nigger that we have
killed, or intimidated, or kept away from
the polls, one hundred of our lives will be
demanded in sacrifice. Hoge will expl"dr
in tue halls Of Congress. He has already
been bitten By the blue fly, native Of
South Carolina, and therefore a bloody
rebel! THIS bite has bred sort of trichina
$piroNs, tlrHt mu',ipies rapidly, generating
nitro glycerine. Therefore, Hoge is obliged
to explode. lie may be constructed TO
withstand stronger internal pressure than
Gov. Scott, yet, nevertheless, he must in
the end explode.
Aud they will ALL explode. Mark wha,
We say. All these official aliens and un-
scrupulous niger shriekers will explode.
South Carolina will smell of burnt carpet
b"gger meat for some time to come, bu.
finally her atmosphere will be pure once
more.
BY their fruits 5ye, know them!
