',,'re neither Russians nor Turks, VIII" At
strive in fierce battle,
lid the caanon's deep roar, anu inc '''''S-
kct's sharp rattle:
ut ours be the struggle, where stern
Justice ne r fails :, ,
o weigh each mortals decd in her we'll
balanced scales.
,ur duties are many; from early morn
until night,
Ne are srntricS on watch in llfcs most
solemn fight: -,
Where stern duty Ger calls and will
brook no delay,
IN it's constant demands with each re-
curing day.
Then a remembrance like that which but
recently came,
Filled with dreams of rare PLEASURE
linked with two in one name,
For time made US think and III our III
most souls wish,
That we too could but taste, the sweet
nectar of such bliss.
Here's wish for thee, Leon, and tiny
bunny fair bride,
That thy banks may smoothly 1i"at on
lifc's swift flowing tide;
That no shadows may come to your lives
brilliant morl,
In tn if freshness and brightness, tree
from each passing storm.
Then here's health,
With joy and wealth,
Drank without stint or measure;
Thy lives r'er be
From sorrow free.
And filled to the hr,n with pleasure.
"COURT HOUSE,
Natchitochcs, La, June Sth, ISL.
av"nc upon the .eccipt of the news of
PitIlins removal as United States
Marshal and the appointment of Jack
Wharton, INDUCED in considerable of
the usual gush expected from that
class of Journals which ''rcprtsent
nothing on Gods earth to day" and
enjoy the "larScst circulation IN the
southwest" over Wharton. The Pic
concludes lengthy lot Of "S'um-
gullion' thusly:
While we speed the parting 8, let us
welcome the coming guest, III obser'
vance of II timc-honorcd rule of hos
pitality. Major Jack Wharton is not
an orator as Pitkin is, he was content
with one uniform during the war
and he has never felt it his duty t.
Wifi, his friends in the service of his
party; but Notwithstanding these de-
iiciencics we accept him as perhaps
the best successor of the late lament
ed J. r. G.. p. who could have beer
selected from the Republican ranks
Now we have no particular intercs
either in the Pic or Jack Wharton
but we submit in all Justice tina
Pitkcn, in the estimation of the coun
i, try people, is no worse than Wharton
Both are traitors to principle for pelf
both are orators and blackSnards ant
both "yilifcd thei, friends in the ser
vice of party y if the Pic means tia
5 the uhitepeople are Wharton's friend;
f. Has the Pic heard of Wharton
Shreveport speech during the las
campaign? But perhaps the scent
4 the "pap' in the shape of Marshal
, sales has caused the memory Of bot
the Times aud Pic to clean to VII
: tues side"
The Baltimore Gazette is one of Il
10 soundcst Democratic papers in Amer
ca, and this is what it has to 81
G about the kemper county, M'ssissil
It pi, affair:
If it oe true, as some of the Dem
cratic newspapers of Mississippi d
o clare, that no jury could be found
y the State to convict the De Kalb m,1
# derers, we have to say that such
state of things ia lissracetul to o
civilization. If officers of tho law a
afraid to prosecute because it will il
peril their reelection, and if witne
r. SEES arc afraid to testify because
al will imperil their lives, it must
y, because Kemper county is cursed
TX cowardly set of officers n.
ed Times.
Nc The Baltimore Gazette, tho SCUM
u est of Democratic papers, is eithe1
ne lick -spittle, or is sadly lacking in
G. logical brain to render tia journal
nd much force. Will he Gazette be 50
he enough to let the world know
causes which led to the Kenper co,
wv ty riots, and then they can judge
,ss the justice of its violent conclusi
'e, The kemper county riot is the res
H. of radical villainy and radical o
ch rage to which the people of that COZ
- ty were submitted by the radical p
re- ty. Had Maryland and her peoI
Use been subjected to one half what NJ
he sissippi and her people were,
to Kemper county riot would have 5'
