A BLOW TO Democracy.


"Jeems Giles of Owen county,
Nv. tells, in an amusing way, how the
news that the Civil Rights bill had
,ossed the Senate was received at
a..Galt's Tavern" in Louisville. Jeems
writes a long letter to the Louisville
numerical, and gives the story us he
received il from Sandy Forkner, who
comes home from the city III a fearful
state OF mental excitement.
A seeiu' Ms forlorn condition, says l. " San
1v " saws |. " what's loose = and slch an on
yarviu look a. that Door man gave me
Whats loose" says he. You may well
.st what's loose a-layin' down his carpet
Jor easy. and a sort o steadyin' it on the
niqfform. Tor it ratified like thar was some
tbiur emy.v in it. Says he. a raisin' his hand.
.Ff YOU Il believe me she's busted at last. |
went dowa TO Louisville and stopped at Gait
Tavern. and, jest rs YOU told me, | met Col.
Ills aud lie was powerful glad to see me-. and
,rss s-kin' fur you. His tavern were full. and
he was q sureadin. his self around, tryln' in a
manue- 20 kiver the whole ground. Thar was
a lot of Fed'ral Ginerals and a lot of big
Iudges-Le told me privately they war SUI
creme JulEe-. or some thing 10 that effect
and A Young man that stands in Col. Jils' bar
odd me that Col. Jiis had had 'leven argyll
ments with them Supreme Judges, and it
stood be-wiXt EN-. up to that time. nine to
-wo-.har j.. Col. Jlls WAS seven ahead and
ne was entitled to the close on 'emin the next
-nuui. And | reckon the Young man was
right. fur Col. JIls jest looked at me like the
,tatoot OF Ajacks drfyin' the %litenin. that Wa.
IN old B.ruIm's w~ax-works i'll lis big show
last SUMNER.
Just then, however, the editor OF tue
Courier. journal ceme in, and, to use
the words Of Sandy again:
..Savs he Well. Colonel, YOU may as well
prepare for the wust. In my pore Judgment,
the bottom has dropped out, or, perhaps,
more Negatively speakIn'. the last father has
been but on the cammils back. The Ciril
E;yt'S bill has passed TIE SENT. and ,riN GER
.ainiy pCSS the House, whereby your hotel
ornary vii be filed with niggers ii less than
a week.
This terrible intelligence struck Col.
Jils dumb with amazement. The pro-
visions OF the Civil Rights bill were
discussed by the others, however, Mt
length. None of them had read it, but
they knew its main points, which were
stated 10 be as follows
Il was 20 make the niggers equal to the
Demokra;--was to force the niggers and the
white Children TO attend the same school,. and
sop out Of The same skillet. but 1t was intend
ed IL pe!tick!er to let niggers stop at his tav-
erns w!:hCU: PAWN no bills. 1t WAS all d.
rected agIn the Demokrsts. to crush EN- ont
and to way EN- down, and to blast EN- fur
ever.
And liar WAS a ded pause-all eyes s. lookin
at the Farsun. SIle Williams. he remarkt to
the Par-un--ays he. "Parsun. kin human ma
tur bar Cp agin sich doins: Whar Is our Con-
stitu,iou Whar's our liberties: Wharf, the

son when he was down here a tearin' through
the country a trvin' to stop the boys from
KILN a few niggers. Saw ] to him. SAVE /.

The consultation brought no relief,
and now Sandy and SHE Williams, and
the landlord of Calls Tavern sit with
bowed heads, absolutely unable to ac-
cept the advice of the editor of the
Conrjer-JDurnai, and prepare for the
'wust.
