can editor that would resort tc
such ialschood to incito riot and
bloodthed is beneath the contempt
Of the mcancst negro of Hope Fur
mace or any other gang"
Reader, bear in mind that The
above is an exact quotation Of the
language used by tho ChilIicothc
oditor of The Viat0n Record. 1t can
be seen in that sheet Of Juno 80,
1879.
"Bloodthcd"
"Riot and bloodthcd!"
What's "bloodthcd?"
Is it q word that our carpot-bag
editor has re constructed for the cX-
elusive use of the niggers since the
bogus ratification Of the Fifteenth
Amendment?
"Bcncath tho contempt Of the
mcanost ncgro!" That is rather
broad language for Radical editor,
who has been trained up among the
ChiIlicotho niggcrs in tho way that
he should so, to use, especially af-
ter a niggor was compelled 10 sue
his second lieutenant on a barbor'S
account. But We will let that pass,
and proceed to show the reader who
has melted tho ''riotand bloodthed." :"
We arc informed that on the 4th
of July the Sunday School had a
Pic Mic in q grove near Hope Fur
mace. An excellent dinner was set
before those present; a good swing
was erected; and q very fair pros
pect Of the white people, for whose
benefit the affair was gotten up,
having a happy and poacablc
time generally, but tho re-
suit was othcrwisc-tho "niggcrs
came out Of tho woodpilcl" and into
The grove they wcndcd their way
Soon after most of tho white men,
women and children had assembled
in the grove--a grove fitted up by
white men for the use Of white men
and their childrcn-so somo Of the
most loyal said: "Lct us invite our
beloved coIorcd friends up to take
part in this celebration" Whether
majority Of those present favored
this movement, our informant could
not say, But tho ladies began to
talk. Ono lady, who is probably
q conservative and an advocate
Of the rights Of whito folks, said;
30, don't lot US have the niggcrs.' y
She was Immediately answered by
another lady in about this style: 90,
yes; they arc just as good as white
people that don't behave them
selves" meaning that the niggcrs
were bettor than Americans, Ger
mans, and Irish who "don't behave
themselves" But q messenger was
dispatched for the niggcrs, who were
about Il half u mile from the grove,
The niggcrs, numbering about thir-
ty, accepted the invitation so kindly
sent them by those who have
done their part toward making the
proudcst, frccst, most enlightened,
prosperous and happicst nation on
the face Of Gods globe the lowest,
bascst, poorest, most utterly brutal
izod, and dcmoralizcd. Into the
grove the Africans rushed, and in n
moment they were well scattered
about-somo in tho swing, some in
tho Speakers stand, and others
around The table, all "making thom-
selves at homc," and causinga q por-
ton Of onco the Toudcst white men
and women in Chfistondom TO stand
back, looking very sorrowlul, and
stare at them. Proud and happy
RAIDS Of Hope Furnace! How thy
hast fallen! Thou canst no moro
assemble in the woods 10 celebrate
the "Glorious Fourth" without the
assistance Of thirty grinning mig
gers! Not satisfied with giving the
niggors the right to vote they must
be allowed the privilege Of attend
ing tho Sunday School Celebrations
so as TO give white children q gIo-
rious opportunity to ningIc with
them and being forced TO cat at
the same table with them or loavcl
We'll, the niggcrs soon became
"maStcrs Of the situation" that is
they "took things" generally thro'-
out tho length and brcdLh Of the
grove. In fact,
