is the old Dasher, unscathed, un-
harmed and full of the old fire as ev
or and right to the front. You have
been a naughty boy and need correct
ing, but even Dasher won't desert
you in your troubles and tribulations,
though you have been in ambuscade,
holding out public allegiance to the
old Democracy, and like Aesop's bat,
lowering around the two contesting
lines of battle to fly to the victorious
standard. No, indeed, you must be
dashed into line, forced to leave your
naughty ways, for there is plenty of
good work in store for you. Cool
off, swab out and be ready, and ready
in earnest, for the next real enemy.
And the sold man eloquent" of
the Official Journal, has had visits
to his. "invalid chamber" one of
which causes him to throw at US his
fish, flesh and salt herring. Well
bet you, old one, that the visit of the
''orator' was not a crop one, but SIM
ply another unloading, which no
doubt amused you, for Dasher knows
you are not verdant. How you must
have enjoyed the intellectual treat,
and how you laughed in your sleeves,
at the woful tale, which the youthful
prodigy unfolded to you? Dasher
compliments the old one, that his ap-
parent and loudmouthed political
foes should thus be forced to crouch
to him. 1t is a fair tribute to brains
from intellectual palsy!
-Brag again! Heap of threats!
Same old game, from same old source!
The Republican, Of New Orleans, the
grand head centre of the negro lay
out blows it's horn too, and Dasher
hereby gives the bull in full, that his
people of Rapides may read for them
selves:
The Republican party is inst, and
the negroes are patient and long suf-
fering under wrong. Yet they may at
last be goaded to desperation and
forced to turn on their pursuers. In
that event, there would be anything
but child's play for time as it wonld
be found that the negroes can fight -
we'll as work. They would undoubt-
eddy have the endurance, muscle and
activity on their side, and desperation
will give them courage.
That is a fine and handsome
compliment bestowed on our Fair
Association by the commercial firm
of John NJ. Sandidge & Co., of New
Orleans, and by our fellow-townsman,
Judge Manning. Dasher records all
such with special Joy and thinks
many others should follow suit. The
Associations Secretary, through aur
columns, makes it known to the pub
lie, and Dasher still speaks good and
kind words for the Fair and urgently
entreats all the world and his wife,
Of Rapides, to put best foot foremost
and throw in telling blows for the
laudable institution. No greater
good can be done for the permanent
welfare of all.
-Beeeher! Tilton! Two names,
which have stirred up all pnritanism
and Free Love of our dearest breth-
rem of the great North! The Journals
have Toasted over it and closed their
valuable columns to all other matter!
Dasher has noticed all this nauseous
stuff for long while, and at last
dashes it all down in a nut shell:
TILToN TO MoULToN.-Dec., 1870
Six months ago learned from my wife
that H. w. Beecher had dislionored my
home. l can bear it no longer. Bring
him to me that l may mention it to
him. T. TILToN.
MoULToN TO BEECHER.-Jan., 1871.
Tilton thinks you have ruined his bus
mess. Prove yourself his friend and
it will be all right. You can stand on
the truth.
BEEcHER TO MoULroN.-May., 1873.
Pay to F. D. Moultop, for the benefit
of Theodore Tilton, five thousand dol
lars. H. w. BERcHER.
T1LroN TO 'BEEcHER.-June., 1873.
To H. w. B. Grace, mercy and peace.
T. T..
And as a finale to our this week.
Dashes, nay not Dasher wish, purely
for the good of all around, that he
may next week publish good news
from the Democratic Convention, at
Baton Rouge, bringing glorious ii.
dings Of concord, unity, brotherly
feelings and the grand old banner
once more unfurled! All this Dasher
wishes, if permitted by the grave dig
gers, and further good ticks then can
be put in against our common Radi-
cal enemy and for the true white
