CONFEDERIT X ROADS,
| Wich is in the State NV Kentucky.
April 20, 1873.
L hev notist with a delite which
hez no bounds the encurridgin skeems
with our brethren Nv the South, the
unconkered and undismayed adher-
ents Nv the late Confederacy which
woz crushed by the unhoIy minyuns
NV the late feend, A. Linkin, but
which will raise to clame its own,
hev put ia to the late Fedrel usur-
phashen for the improvement NV the
eommershel facilities Nv the south
and the developin NV its greatnis.
The sum NV two hundred mllyuns
| for the improvement NV Southern
rivers, and the buildin Nv Southern
railroads, though not ez much eZ we
ought to hev, will anser ez a begin
min. Eff the North is willin to vote
that amount to consulate the gallant
| South, it will be Willin re vote eZ
much more to keep her conciliated,
and when that is properly expended,
it will be easy enough to git up an
mother rebelyun which will hev to
be settled the same way. The sunny
South hez done well by her rebellyun
after all. She has now control Nv the
! lower House, and the subsidies and
appropriashens now before Congriss
will more than pay her for all the
war cost, espesheIly when we take in
to account the fact that we repudia-
ted all the debts we owed the North
at the beginning, and that England
furnisht all the money on which the
war wuz carried on. The two hun
dred milyuns which the Federal
Government is goin to give us, eff a
Republican SENT don't prevent it, is
L may say, cleer game.
The Corners hez been anxus to be
consiliatid ever since it hez gone over
the Appropriashen bills. Sence them
bills hev bin understood at the Cor
ners, the citizens hev murmered.
They want to know wat symptom
uv bein reconstructed they hev show
ed? They want to know why they
shood not be brot into akkord with
heir oppressors the same ez the other
Southern localities, and why they
shoodent be pacified ez is other pints
which Wuz no more solid for the Con-
federacy, or which contribbitid nc
more to the destrukShen NV the
Federel Government? Issaker Gavitt
and DeekIn Pogram both insisted
when they red the list Nv these ap.
prOpriashens, that onless COngris did
suthin to ettach 'em to the Fedrel
Government they shood RENAME en-
bittered to the end NV their days,
and shood never be reconsiled. They
wuz conkered, but they Wuz not des-
trOyed, and the tyrant mite look for
'em to raise in their mite, at almost
any time.
We held meetin over it, and the
follerin resolooshuns wuZ past:
WAREAs. The Corners wuZ ez firm
in its devOshun to the late scotched
Confederacy ez any portion of the
South, and
WAREAs, The Corners never wu2
consolidated and hates the Fedrel
Yoonyun ez hartily and bitterly ez
it ever did, and
WAREAs, The Fedrel Congris is g
passin all sorts Nv appropriasher
bills to pacify the Southern hart, and
to show practically, that by-gOnes i:
by.gones, which the Corners approve
NV ez it don't pay no taxes and never
did, therefore
ResOlUed, That the Corners is Nv
the opinyun that il kin never regard
the North ez a brother, and CLASP
hands with it, with one flag flying
over em' till the Corners shel SEE
itself numbered among the pints
which are to have appropriateness fol
improvements.
ResOlUed, That the Corners is ny
the opinyun that to restore the feelir
NY absloot yoonanimity which is Sc
desirable, and to bring the Corner!
into perfect ackord with their brother
in NV the North, the fOllerin appro
priashuns by the General Govern
ment are necessary:
$4,000 to lay plank road in thu
bed NV Perkins erik to where
crosses the track Nv the Secession
vile road, to lessen the freight er
likker. When the clik is up 50 ez t.
be navigable for fatboats, the plank
kin be fioated onto the bank, givil
to us the choice ~ water and LAND
carriage.
$50, 900 to lay iron on the Secces
sionvilIe road to the corn county
back, to lessen freight on corn to tht
