TIE THREE CARDS.

Three cards have thus TAR been
published explanatory of the shameful
proceedings at the National Cemetery
last Saturday, had under the pretense OF
decorating Union graves. We noticed
Mr.. Swans card yesterday, and allude
elsewhere TO that of Esquire Winters.
" Henry Taylor, the superintendent of
the cemetery. made his appearance in
print yesterday. he says he had control
ofthe railroad land and the Kan place,
Int fails to say whether the Pope
brothers we're trespassers on the territory
within his jurisdiction. We understand
from these gentlemen that they had
permission from Captain .. W. Miller
and Mr.. Trezevant to locate their stand
exactly where it was black-mailed, or
robbed rather, of $25. Taylor says
4hat the "nob" made the raid on the
stands about three o'clock, and that
later in the day he ordered off the
keepers Of the stands, and they went.
1t is singular that he never thought
m do what he must have considered
duty until so late in the after
noon. when the harm was all done.
he had control Of certain lands, ne
says, to prevent the sale of intoxicating
liquors, but never thought to exercise
his authority until nearly night. Now,
we understand that the said William
Henry Taylor was cavorting around on
a horse among the Pole Bearers por-
ton of the day, making himself numer-
GUS and conspicuous, and seemed to be
acting in perfect concert with swan,
who has the manliness to admitsquarely
that he received the twenty-five dollars
from the Popes. There is one fact to
which we cannot fail to draw attention.
It is this: that Swan, Taylor and Win
tiers inStheir cards all speak of " the
mob" in describing what took place.
Nearly everybody saw that mob, except
one of the white speakers; and mob 1t
was, a disgrace to the occasion and to
the colored race We do not blame
even a majority Of them there present.
The responsibility rests with the reckless
leaders who handle these ignorant
blacks for base political uses.
