Of its editorials, ut least they are similar.
Here is the quotation:

"Gen. Banks" was pressed into the service

hardly have been caught in such bad com,

very much ashamed Of himself. It is said
the General is not even registered voter
and would not have been entitled to q scat
lin the meeting if he had been white. il
was his color that obtained for him such
unusual consideration. This is how the
"ruling race" here kicks over the Charles.

QUsRY.-If one fool can make such
q sheet as The Charleston Courier, what can
the entire democratic party dol
The Charleston Courier endorses its
Congressional nominee, Frank Hereford,
With but little enthusiasm. Knowing ones
say that sore disappointment rankles in his
heart that the real object OF his removal
to Charleston has been most ungraciously
ignored by the Democrats.
TIE Charleston Courier cxhausts two
columns Of matter in its effort to convince
its readers that tho FLrcK amendment does
not cnfranchisc the ex.rebcl. We would
suggest that it spends its energies in trying
to convince the people that tho food was
myth and that the occupation Of Eden by
Adam, the first man, is radical lie. A
little diversity Of exercise is oil that such
a genius requires to make his name pre-
eminent,
In view of the eminent service which tho
editor Of the Charleston Courier has rem
dered to the Democratic party in times
gone by, and because so many Of tho more
respectable and ADLER members Of tho press
arc now firing schrapnel and chain shot
into his decayed hull, We think the demo-
cratic party should take him in out Of the
storm and transplant him for other purpos-
es; for
From his ashes may be made
The violet of some other land"
In view ofthe solemn issues of "a grave
political canvass and with becoming sense
Of what is duo to an anxious and inquiring
people" we ask: Who wrote himselfnn ass
when he attempted to show that the Flick
Amendment means just the contrary from
what its author intended it should mean?
Don't all tho people answer at once and say
the Charleston Courier man.
The query is "who killed cock robbin?"
The Charleston Courier man insists that it
was the odd nigger;" while large and
respectable portion Of tho Democratic par
ty think that the Courier man himself had
a hand ia the work, when he took his as
Economical observations at the Charleston
Convention. Inasmuch as that party is
SO near dead that coroners inquest will
fail to ascertain the cause, We would sug-
gest that decent intermcnt bc given it
without spending more time in disputing
tho cause of tue terrible catastrophe. The
fMck Amendment, like the mills of the
gods, may grind slowly, but its work is
terribly sure.

SHOCKING AcorDENT-Two MEN DnowS-
rD.-One of the most distressing accidents,
all things considered, that VIC have heard
offor many days occurred on Monday last
in Fayette county. Two young men, Zone
of them SIR. Hammond, nephew Of Mr..
O. P. Huntingdon, President G. & o. r..
R., and the other Mr.. Howard, started
from Miiler's Ferry in a skiff. accompanied
by young man named Marsh, who
lived in the vicinity, and was acqauin-
ted with tho river. When they reached
the shoals at Hawk's Nest, they expressed
q determination to remain in the skif while
going through the rapids; although Mr..
Marsh advised them not to Mr.. Demp-
scy, who resides in the vicinity, also en-
deavored to dissuadc them from the pcrilous
enterprise, telling them that tho empty
skiff could only be gotten down by attaching
lines to it. They PERSISTED, however, Mr..
Mash refusing to go in the frail vessel,
and soon after leaving the shore, they
we're buried in the rapid waters. The
body Of Mr. Howard has been found, the
head very much disfgured. There is G
reward Of 500 offered for the body of Mr..
Hammond.-KdaaVha Republican.
