THE Secretary of War, by a. vote OF
the House, has been ordered to Issue
rations to tie poor of Washington. In
plain words, he has been directed, as
far as the House can direct, to feed idle,
worthless negroes, brought into Wash
ington for the purpose of voting the
Radical ticket, and kept there in order
that that party may hold the reins of
authority. ALI these negroes are badly
needed in Virginia by the farmers. Fair
wages aud constant employment would
be given them. But they are retained
in the Nationol capital by the Radicals,
and fed by the funds of the toiling
white men of the country. This is the
latest exhibition of Radical care for
white men. The negroes of Washing
ton are to be maintained in idleness,
while the countryis taxed to foot the
bills.
