THE CHATTANOOGA BOW
WOW
The Hero Of the. Civil Rights
Bill Nominated.


met last Thursday, i'll James Hall,
Chattanooga, rolled aid surged
like the Soa.h Sea in a tornado.
The whites were afraid of the Civil
Rights Bill, and the negroes were
determined to have it the central
plank IN the platform. The whites
wished no nomination made, and
tho negroes determined to nomi-
nate Maynard, the most consFicu-
GUS advocate cf that odious meas-
IRE. AS there would be practically
no radical party in Tennessee With
out the negro, that celebrated char
actcr rode tl4c convention, dictated
the platform and nominated the
mighty Maynard, who camc for
ward, and in a deliberate speech,
boldly offended and advocated the
Civil Rights Bill rs it passed the
federal Senate. Here then ID the
work of that party which seeks to
overthrow the restored govern
ment of the State. 1t adopts a
platform, which, while it defends
the prin ;iplc of Civil Rights, de-
clarcS it inexpcdien: and unwise to
cnforcc it, but it nominatcs a
candidate who proclaims at once,
the doctrine. that it should pass
the Congress Of the nation.
Old Aunt Betty Wiscner was
made temporary Chairman, and
afterward Judge II. Ii. Harrison,
of Davidson, WAS made permanent
Chairman. The Editor of the
GillcnwatcrS Horn was made Sec
rotary. Then the black delegates
began 70 hcave and plunge like I'll
gcrs ia a Ilindo jungle. The inky
Butler, Of Davidson, began TO saw
the air, and paw goodly amount
Of the black mud of Chattanooga
at Brownlow, for having called the
Southern Congressman, BARRIERS,
bartendcr5, pastry cooks and
thieves. lie faid tie G. L. b.
would pass next December
When he stopped at a hotel, he
wanted to go in and eat his dinner
and 90 ont like any other gentle
man. God Lad said every man
should have his Z. Rs. lie want
cd the Brownlow wing to GO back
10 the Democratic party and go
now. Then this one of the But
ler6 proceeded TO curl up in a cor
ncr and "chaw tobaccer.
The shadowy Porter of Knox
Vile shot himself into the air like
the emissions of yaId OF first
class fuse, and he norated it that
those men of the republican party
who were not Tor Civil Rights, are
not sound republicans. AS for the
old Wings, he didn't Iean to beg
them, and if they didn't stand 10y
the civil Fighters, why i'll Gods
name let them &C.
The raven tinted Thompson of
Shelby, spoke piece, and was for
gwino ahead. Ii they had to
wait for the Wings TO come over
from the Democrats, Mcthuselah
would be a boy beside him. He
was for nominating the Naraganset-
"Jerusalem" Smith, of Shelby,
stuck his distended nostrails to-
ward the mud of Chattanooga,
switched his shaved tail toward the
north sta, tossed his heels toward
the southern consultations and
sent his extra gas hoavenward as if
blowing Of breaks for some thun-
der train in the clouds, and then
objected, and objected to anything
short of adding tie G. Il. &. to the
Lords Prayer.
The neglected autumn Howcr of
Greenev.lle, the docile and elegant
Pettibonc, frequently shot toward
the upper current of the mighty
elullition. He waved a dozen
flags of truce, and wanted then to
draw it mild was for pulling the
trigger easy, trusting to the poi
eoned balls in the radical musket.
He tried to nolify The monftrous
race Of Sambo. lie said he agreed
and he disagreed, and yet the more
he did that impossible poSsibili-
~. the more the colored members
shot at him the barbed arrows Of
their witty scorn until he graVi'a-
ted aud was heard no more.
