But why need we describe others of
the crew? They were birds of feather.
The career of the vessel was brief Al
corn, with the assistance of number of
honest Republicans and the Conserva-
i've phalanx, scuttled her. As she went
Town, her crew took to the life-boats for
preservation. Some of them have left the
State for the States good another is in
all, with a prospective term of service
n the penitentiary; and others have
hipped aboard the Bondholders' ''boat,"
# which Ames is the captain, with the
,ver ready Pilot at the helm. Figure of
peech aside, people of Mississippi, you /
ave seen the character of men who are ,
eeking the permanent control of your /,
State affairs The abyss yawns hideously !
,efore youl awake arise or be for
yer fallen"
