to him from the ring, few feet below:

the aristocrat; and 500 to 5000 is booked

replies the Earl of Coventry. 10 rlf
In the box beyond, a tall, stout, pie
thoric-looking man, with heavy chin
and lips, sits quietly talking to his bet
ting agent, Mr.. Perry, a little, fair,
bright-eyed, cheerful-looking man, who
also runs horses on his own account, un-
der the assumed name of Hall. This is
Baron Lionel Rothschild, head Of the
London branch of the great Rothschild
house. Next TO the Baron, a stern.
solemn-looking man, with decidedly

A Negroes Estimate of Radicals and
Carpet Baggers A Black Demos
fhenes.v ID

The following is an extract from the
speech of Henry Boyd, colored man,
delivered at Carrolton, Miss. He has
been called black Demothenes, and is
evidently negro of good hard sense
And now the carpet-baggers come here
and tell us they are our friends and the
Southern people our enemies. They tell
us they set us free Oh, yes, they've
done it all, no doubt. They set us free
about like they set the mules free; Ben
Butler set the spoons free. Immense
laughter and applause ] They done it
all to help the Yankee and to injure the
Southern man. They can't fool this
nigger. | know who brought the
nigger to this country in the
first place. The Northern man
brought us here, and when they be-
gan to lose money on the nigger they put
the Niger in their pocket--sold him
down South, and then to keep the South
in the Union, to make her pay taxes,
they turn around and get the nigger and
the mules and spoons free; and they
would not have set anything free Except
ing the spoons), if they could have got
the South back into the Union without it,
They promise him the forty acres and
the mule / know FIVE niggers that
starved plum to death waiting for that
mule and that forty acres Laughter.
I'd like to know where the carpet-bagger
got his forty acresl You all know the
devil took the Lord up into high noun
tain and promised if he would fall down
and serve him he'd give him the whole
world, and the old scoundrel knew all
the time he didn't own foot of land on
the continent. [Great laughter.
The carpet-baggers ask me TO cast my
vote to keep the white folks down. Nov
all ever wanted was to get on a level |
with the white man. never wanted to |
get above him. They say a niger is bet
ter than a white man in Cincinnati. |
Well, that may be true--in Cincinnati,
but it ain't true down here. 1t is my in
terest to stand by the Southern man, and
is my wish to. Whatever law is made
q affect the white mans plantation also
affects my little cotton patch in the same
way. The three cent tax on cotton hurts
ne worse than it does the white man
But it puts money in the Yankees
pocket
They want to disfranchise the white
nan, and make the niger put them into
'fiice, that they may have taxes and
hings their own way, They never would
ave passed a law allowing niggers to
'ote if they hadn't thought the niggers
5ould vote the Republican ticket. Never
Ieverl neverl Who believes otherwise? ?
Iot this nigger, certain. The Yankee
rought the niger here from Africa for
el6sh purposes, set him free for selfish
and now they want to vote him
Dr selfish purposes.
