I'VE he'd to hev an eleckshnn for a
Justis Of the Peece at the Cnrners,
last week. to fill vacancy. EHbhalet
Boye, who hez filled the. posisien TO
the entire satisfacshen of the people,
that is the white people, for the, last
forty yeers, tinelly succumbed to
Bascom's hkker and the uilc0n-
stooshnl eleckshun OF Hayes, and
went to his long home. Peece tolis
ashes! He was a gilelis man, andga
good one, 1t wuz his constant boast
that hs his 40 yeers Of servis he alluz
give verdick for, the plaintiff EFF
the plaintiff wuzn't in the right wat
in thunder did he 500 for?" wuz his
remark. When the unconsto0shnel
Fifteenth Amendment Wuz passed,
Squire Boyer devotid his entire en-
ergies to decidin agin them niggers.
He varied his practis so much that
it didn't make any diffreus whether
the niger wuz plaintiff or defend
ant, the verdick wuz invariably agin
him. His rool wuz that whenever
two white mon dispoots one of EN-
must be rite, but that it wuz impos-
sible that niger shood be rite I'M
der any circumstances. When ther
wuz a white MAG agin a Niger the
verdick wuz agin the niger, with
out heerin evidence; and so healthy
and vigrus a prejoodis he'd he agin
niggers that l hev knowd him, when
one niger sood another, to give q
verdick agin both of EN-, witch wuz
a triumph of Jurisprudence. And
they felt themselves lucky eff he
didn't commit EN- for contempt of
court. Good old man! We shell
never see his like agin.
Squire Boyer hevin gone hentz
we he'd to elect a Justis to fill his
place, and in the Convenshun Dee
kin Pogram and Abslum Pettus wuz
the candidates, Pettus developed a
good deel of strength, but the Deekin

he wood never stand that kind of
tactics, and he declared hisself an
independent candidate, at witch we

of regler nominaShens.
The RadikelS, mostly niggers,
hedid by Pollock and Bigler, met
and resolved to make no n0mina-
shen, and so the contest wuz between
the good old Deekin and this

And so on the mite of the meetin,
Issakef, Capt NlcPelter and the rest
of the faithful went to the hall over
Pollock's store, where the niggers
wuz in session, and pullin our revol-
vers, advised EN- to git. The mig
gers didn't git, for up sprung Pettus
and about dozen of his trends, and
made some few remarks.
''Theze gentlemen" sed Pettus,
