RAsCALs IN A RAGE.

Whenever . parcel Of rascals are ex-
ercised and angry there is good evidence
to believe that some scheme Of villaipy |
has been frustrated. Now there is that
pretty pair. Flanagan of Texas. and West
of Louisiana, whom our old friend. Judge |
Harmon, would ironically call couple |
OF spermaceti ducks" They are ducks!
indeed, and like those feathered bipeds, |
are ready to gobble every morsel that
comes in their way, no matter how pu-
crescent may be the nastiness OF which
it consists. These fellows, who are only
qualified to represent their States in the
State Prison, are furious for the
reason that many Of Flanagan's ap-
pointees for Postmaster have been
dismissed, and one Stoneaker, pet
Of Vests, has also been discharged.
Now Us to the first. We know Mr.. Elan
sgan pretty we'll. and il reports are true
concerning him, he is as bareiaced and
corrnpt an old scamp, as ever in these de-
generate days, disgraced the United
States Senate with their offensive pres.
euce. We know some of his appointees
too one of them especially we'll; So
called General Clarke, who was furnished
with false credentials by Governor Davis
| of Texas, under which he endeavored to
sneak into Co.s-ess, coil knowing that
l,o was defeated by three thousand ma
jority, The iniamy was too great, even
for party Congress. and he was kicked
out To soothe his lacerated feelings
at being denied an opportunity

+ Clarke was appointed Postmaster of Gal

q judged with fair degree OF accuracy
: when the administration cannot STAN
him. Oh, he is nice youth. that woul'
not take anything that he could not carr,
off. Next. We have Stoneaker, West
friend. This fellow deserves it'll
more consideration than Clark, TO
though he is greater rascal than tn
latter, he is not such fool. This fellow
