The Coming Curse.

Mr.. EDITOR: / had thought that the cup of
Republican iniquities was already filled to over.
flowing; but it is now evident that they still in
tend to add to their wiciedness, and if possible
deprive the Caucasian of all his constitutional
rights, in order to degrade him. and to raise their
dear African allies above the white race Toac
complish their devilish purpose, they are now
going to pass what they call their Civil Rights
Bill which, of all their netarious measures, will
be the most mischievious When they get this
darling nigger-elcvator into operation, then evils
will follow each other in quick succession, until
our dear country will be overwhelmed with
trouble. This dark measure will act like an open
Pandora box, from which will spring evils that
will be gloomy to contemplate. After this law
passes, white ladies and gentlemen will have to
sit at hotel tables and be elbowed by filthy mig
gers. The parlors in public houses will be spot
ted with filthy half savage Africans, and neither
the landlord nor his guests will dare to object
as the ngs will have the Army and Navy to back
them in thernew tedged honors. Ourchurches
will be redolent with the sweet spicy perfume
Africana, and our delicate and refined ladies will
have to set in the same pew with some baboon-
faced high smelling "son oh de mornin.n Our
dear children the rising generation and future
hope of our country, at our public schools
must per force be seated indscrimnately with
the dear little "sons and darters oh ole dahomevn
be they ever so filthy The teacher will not dare
refuse to admit them into any public school,
or to alot them to scat by themselves, but
they must sit mixed with the white children
Our Puelic School system in this State is now
jim fine tourishing condition, and all the chill
Sren in the state, whether they be rich or poor
4 hite or black, hayea fine chance to get an edu-
Z NIXON. There has been ample provision made
~ negro children. They have their public
snools and are allowed all the privileges that
The white schools enjoy, and every negro in our
State has q chance to go to school and learn all
that his rher limited capacity will receive. But
this won't do the Radicals, Oh, mol They wish
$o compel the proud intelligent Caucasian,
4 fhom the Great Jehovah in his infinite wisdom
has created far superior, in point of intellectual
ability to the negro, to bow his proud head be-
fore the half savage African, in order to satisfy
the mean, petty malice of such fellows as Ben
Butler q Co.
When the dominant party that now cdrses our
country fasten this civil rights curse the coun-
try, the public schools of our good old State will
all be discontinued, and we shall be thrown back
fifty years, and will have to establish the old
fashioned subscription schools, from which the
deserving poor will necessarily be excluded for
they will mot be abeto pay The white citizens
ofour State cannot be compelled to send their
children to spotted Objectionable schools, even if
their children have to go without an education.
The wicked powers that control our affairs at
present will provide severe penalties to enforce
their darling pet measure of negro elevation
and superiority, and they will have their own
way for short time longer. But the hand
writing is now on the wall, and the good time is
fast approaching when an enlightened white
community VIII remove those evils doors from
the high places which they now occupy, h,
peaceful ballots, and give the reins of govern
ment into the hands of honorable white men,
who will restore our government to its pristine
purity and who will not disgrace themselves by
trying to degrade their own color by striving to
bring the white race under the control of the
African. In this good work the Democrats will
receive the support of thousands ofrcspcctablc
heightened gentlemen, who have heretofore acted
withthc Republican party thinking honestly that
they were right. But the curse that the party in
power are about now to innict on the country
will open the eyes of all good men, no matter by
what party names they may be called, and they
will unite together to foil the common enemies
of their dear rights and liberties, and the negro
ring at Washington will find, ere long, that the
kingly sceptre that they now WELD with dictate
rial power will be taken from them and they
can then use their leisure hours in trying to Gle.
yate themselves to social level with the negro,
which some of them will find hard task.
