yet and intend to keep it (safc from the let
ter-box) to read to my grandchildren. In the
course of my narrative have arrived at this,
my last effort. My determination to write
you n history of my troubles is accomplished.
Not rs well as had hoped, nor am willing
to conccde, as ably as can do it, has the
task been performed. However, have de-
voted myself singly to 1t, cschcwing more
enticing subjects.
Our municipal election took place here,
Tuesday, the 9TH inst, resulting in Rcpub-
lican victory. Even this pleasant theme
could not deviatc nc from my course. l
now feel relieved, but FAR below Poor Rich
ard.
Should this be received favorably, at an
other time shall write you concerning the
politics, industries, religions, aud other mat
ters of this community-a community, allow
me to say, especially favored by nature with
a salubrious climate, fertile .il, and bcauti.
full scenery, and by man WITH good govern
ment, and is well worthy Of the pride which
its citizens feel in it. But should be NOR
tilted by having this rejected, then vengeance
on the friend who first kindlcd my ambition,
and though my resources be unequal to the
task of writing for the ERA, at least be they
powerful enough to heap Goals of fire upon his
trnant head.
With much fear await the result,

To he Editor Of lie Ne,o National Era:
4 short while ago the newspapers were
teemng with the vcnality Of Southern Legis-
laturcs, presumably controlled by colorcd
men, and every little while 1 find articles
discussing what are contcmptuously styled
the "carpct-bag governments" The mis-
sionary has at last been induced to look about
him and discovers that "the heather are at
his own DOORS" New York, with her
"Boss - Washington, with her "Boss 5"
Philadelphia, with her "Boss - and alas
that l must record it, Cincinnati with so
many Grst-class public thieves, it is impossi-
bic to say who is "Boss."
One of the peculiartics of this place is its
pride of excclling IN all she undertakes. We
