We've got It'll l wuz so existed about
the elecshun-so anxshus, that after
yotin for Tilden and Reform four times
in Injeany, / came strate to louisville,
and the moment we got the nooze, that
Tilden he'd kerried New York and Con-
necticut, Itook the train back to Seces-
sionville, and found there Bascom's
mule, which 1 Good ride over to the cor
ners. Bascom is considerable Nv mel
owe him too much for him to be any
thing else.
He'd l a pen dipped in livin lite / Good
ent describe the ecstacy NV our people
when 1 told them that Tilden and Re-
form he'd kerried the day, and that
henceforth we shood live under a Dem
ocratic administrator. Deekin Po-
gram sot down and cried with joy.
''Bascom," sed he, two streems maxim
Their way down his cheeks, maxim little
burrows ez they run, and droppin of the
tip ny his nose, sc. w. eff my credit is
good for anything, set EN- up. l feel ez
eff 1 Good give you a third mortgage on
my place. / shell live to lick a Niger
agin."
And it wuz set up. Capt. M'Pelter,
Issaker Gavitt, Squire M'Grath, and the
rest NV EN- came in, and Bascom in
his delirious joy sot a barl on tap, and
refoozed to charge a thing.
The moose affected the different class
es NV our populashen differently. The
niggers all went home ez soon ez they
heerd the intelligence, and barri-
cadsd Their houses. Pollock and Bigier
put up the shutters On his store imme-
jitly, and l notist NV EN- loadin wat fire
arms they he'd. The Niger postmaster
abandoned his posishen and went into
the country with his books and papers.
They he'd no need hv doom it, hoT-
ever. The Democrisy. NV the Corners
he'd more important biznis on hand than
reassertin ther rites over a lot NV de-
graded niggers, and still more degraded
carpit-baggers. We kin attend to them
at any time.
Issaker Gavitt and Capt. McPelter
he'd biznis in their eye, and they wuz
eager to git at it. There wuz a spekila-
ter from Louisville present, witch he'd
come down ez soon ez he heered NV Til
denis eleckshun, to buy up the claims
NV the loyal people uv the Corners
against the gineral government, for
property destroyed by Linkun's hirelins
doorin the late fratrisidle struggle, and
he he'd made an offer to take EN- all at
thirty cents on the dollar. Thes ques-
ton to be considered wuz, whether we
shood take this offer, or trust our own
representatives to'collect EN-.
Mr.. Smithers, the spekilator, told us
that it wood cost us more than eighty
NM. rapt 70 nA1Iarf ON onuhOw HQ
warned us that the Democracy had spent
over four millions to carry this eleck-
shun, and that wood hev to come out
NV these claims first. Then, there wu7
the agents which wood hev to hev theI
slice, the members themselves which
wood take their bites. the heads of de-
partments, and their favorites wood
hev to hev their divvys,and SO on, till
by the time the claimant, got his mon
ey it wood be shaved down to a mere
nothin.
We laft at him, and remarked that We
Good make the claims large enuff to kivel
all these things, and in that way git wa
wuz comm to us.
Gentlemen" SEE he, 'sperhaps yo'
don't know that there will be in Wash
ington, immejitly, the entire gang tina
wuz with johnson. No matter how
big your claim IL, 700 won't get e
much ez I offer 700. Do 700 want then
to go thro the hands " Mrs. Cobb, an
sichp"
That staggered me, for 1 did som
claim biznis in Washington, myself
doorin Johnson's time, and ! know,
the processes. / onhesitatingly advise
our people to make out their bills larg
enuff, and sell -'em, witch they finall
agreed to do, and we sot about maxim
NV 'em out:
Issaker Gavitt, for horses taken
by John Morgan, in conscience
