NY numDl6 kentucky hOme-it slides
down the cold western sky, and sets
under the darkest clouds. How like
our fate The DimOcratie sun riZ we'll
euuff in the east, at Baltimore, last
summer, but its settin in NOYember
was cold and cherries. That cussid
n1gger, Lubbock, is yet Postmaster at
the Corners, and I-alas I am bOardin
on promises TO pay, and am exposed
to the jeers and jibes wich allZ fOller
impecuniOsity.
One bTits streak NV suns hine hez fil-
len onto us-One only. The prOpOsishen
NV that nOblest Roman NV ali, Sena-
tor Sumner, TO erase the names NV
the battles nv the late unpleasantness
from the hatt.e-fiags Nv the Federal
Regiments, and from the Army Reg
lster ez well, that the South may be
no longer Inundated by bein remind
ed Nv its defeat, appeals 20 MY sensi-
ollItleS and gives me new faith I'm hu-
manity. There is yet balm in Gilead
kentucky is BOT entirely deserted.
Ez good eZ Senator Summers prUp-
osishen is, it is not euuff Kentucky
accepts 10 only eZ a step in the rite
direction, not eZ a ultimate, for with
this propOsishen the work NV recon-
ciliation is only half done. We de-
mand more Nv him. We are a sensi-
tive, high-tOned, proud and hRwty
people We demand in addition to
the erasin Nv names nv the battles
from the battle-hags and Army Reg
lister, the fOllerin:
/. That from this time henceforrrrd
and forever, no man either in print or
speech, shel ever be allowed to men,
shen the name Nv any battle in wich
our fellow citizens nv the south wuz

/ Congress.
5. That the head-stOnes Nv Federal
sOlgers in the sO-called NashneI Gem

ed over to restore the ground to its
normal smOOthness, and that no
mother, father, son or brother, or 9TH
er relative Of any Federal solger who
/ fell in these battles and Wuz therein
berried, shei be allowed to visit said
ground on any pretext. And ez sed
! ground ts Government property, that
it shell be sold to the highest bidder,
and the proceeds thereof paid into the
Nashnel treasury.
6. That the Asylum for disabled
Federal sOlgers at Dayton, Ohio, and
elsewhere, and all State Asylums for
the children Nv Federal sOlgers shel
be immejitly closed, the occupants

ef they be continued, that ekal PEN
shuns shel be paid to the confederit
so1ers. In case the latter is did, that
the penshuus shel be paid "for servi-
ces to the Government" The latter
course wood SCOT me better eZ ] Good
draw two penshUns for service in
both armies
8. That no man allow hissslf to be
called "Captin," "Major," "Kernel,D
or eny other military title, becoz NV
partispashen in the late struggle; ged
titles allowable only to them who
wen em In milishy servis, or IN wars
previus to 1851.
10. That all reunions Nv Regiments,

IA. That no Federal sOlger or officer
shel be eligible 70 any offs; his parti-
cipashun therein bein suthin NV Wich
he hez no call to be proud, on the con-
trary, quite the reverse, and also eZ
IL wood tend % keep alive a memory
Nv an Onpleasantness-tO Us.

rs. That the fisg nv wat is now our
common kentry, be changed 10 a de-
sign that the kentry, eZ a whole, may
approve Nv, suthin Wich will revive
no bitterness ia our breast.
10. That by act Nv Congress, the
people proceed TO Wunst TO forget.
These is all I happen to think Nv
jest now, tho it will perhaps be eZ
well for the Government 10 git into
war with Spain or England ez soon
ez convenient, to the end Nv drownin
the memory Nv the late war in a
fresher one.
EfCongress heZ the sense to adopt
Senator Summers proposishen, with
the addishsns wich 1 have selested,
without wich his is merely soundin
brass and tinklin SYM balls, full Nv
sound and fury, signifyin nOthin,) I

toward restOrin peace and harmony
in the South We shel insist on all
Nv my sejestions. will not weaken
the force Wv en- by any reference to
the pest offs at the Corners, but will
remark that ef the Corners is to be
consolidated, that nigger Lubbock must

be under US a smolderin volcano wich !
may erupt at eny time. ga word to
