fre-eating, White Line, sanguinary element,
which is kuawing, like a worm, at her vltals
and will not give her rest.
An examination of the Congressional Di-
rectory will show that more than one half the
Senators were not born In the States which
they represent, while amsng the Representa-
tires more than two-thirds arc carpet -baggers.
There are three Democratic csrpet-baggers In
the ex-Confederate House Of Representatives
to where there Is one Radical tcarpet bagger.
So long as the King Of Bavaria has offered
q prize for the best design Of a petroleum
burning drawing-room lamp, VIC suggest
quietly to any one CT the competitors who may
be willing to hear the suggestion that first
class design for the lamp will be one that will
just step out doors whenever it feels inclined to
blow up. There is an air of safety about such
an invention which will not fail to attract the
attention Of BaYaria's most sensible King.
It's ccming before long. Coming full, deep,
broad and massive. Coming like whiH-
wind on the wings Of the morning. Coming
TO cause an effect. But it is not ready yet.
1t is struggling in the cranium OF Samuel
Sunset Cox for an exit, but Samuel waits.
One of these fine afternoons, when everything
is dull and quiet in the House, he will arise,
and, casting an eagle glance toward the Re-
publican side, bang of his mouth toward
some unfortunate with: "You blear-eyed,
knock -kneed, pigeon-toed. wabbie-earel, pug
nosed, wig-headed, boW-legged. brazen-
checked, bald eye-browcd, thick-li2ped, s1ag-
toothed son OF a sea cook and honorable
hyena from"-whereyer II happens to be.
An old farmer OF Prince Georges county
went out to his barn the other day for the pur
pose Of pitching some hay from the loft for
his cattle. After throwing two or three forks
full down the implement became attached 70
some heavy substance under the hay, and at
ter struggling and putting and groaniag for
some time the old granger brought tramp
up By the coat tails, and the first thing he
asked was, ''Havc you got any frst-cIass
chicken salad and picked oysters in the
house!' He was pitched down with the rest
Of the hay, and affcr the cattle had tossed
him about on their horns for ,iuic. he went
around to the house, and asked for drink
of milk with cream on it,
A lively incident has recently come to our
knowledge from Mississippi, which illustrates
quite forcibly the manner in which the State
was secured TO The control of the White Line
element. One day before election, while scY-
eral hundred colOred men were waiting at the
registrars Office for the purpose OF recording
their names, scycnty-tiYc White Lcaguers,
mounted, armed with repeating rifles and car
rying each rope, rode up to the Office on a fierce
ga!lop, stopped, and the leader inquired of the
registrar when the registration wa5 to com.
mence, and on being told that it would begin
in one hour he replied, "All right the hang
ing will commence in just thirty minutes"
In thirty minutes not a negro could be found
within a mile Of the place. But of course
there was no intimidation in Mississippi, and
nothing at all upon which 10 base the shaking
Of the CORY undergarmcnt.
Mr.. Gould's paper, the Tribune, of New
York city, in speaking of JEFF Davis letter,
says ''our readers will, at all events, Join with
him in the hope that the story of Andcrsonville
may soon be truly told, and that it will be
found that the suierings of Northern prisoners
were exaggerated" The story yet to be
truly told" Just as if the story of Andcr-
sGnvillc had never been truly told. Just as if
the ten thousand weary, worn and disease
stricken Union veterans in the North and
West were not living story of the infamous
inhumanity of that den of terrors, so plain, so
distinct, so awfully intellisioc that he who runs
may read; just as If the hcart-rcnding revela-
tions made by the starved and emaciated forms
which dragged their weary way back to their
Northern homes from that Southern scene of
woe, from that pestilential confine, from that
place of living death, were not sufficient to
convince the whole civilized world of the ter
rible barbarity of Confederate treatment and
Of the grave and stern responsibility that rests
upon the leader OF that most wicked cause.
There was time when the Tribune would
have shrunk from insulting the brave men
who have told the story of their sutferings
and barbarous tortureS while netted within
the wrctchCd limits OF those most cruel dead
lined quarters
