The Corners hez more enterprise then
eny other pint in the Confedracy. We
are very prompt to act in political mat
ters, for ez we never plant or reap we
hey plenty Nv time to devote to the ken
try.
The moment the army bill was passed,
we met to organize. We don't propose
to let grass grow uuder our feet. The
only cloud that hez hung over the Corn
ers for all the dreary years sence the
war is the fear of Federal interference
We wuz actilly afeerd NV that, and con-
sekently some 800 niggers hev bin al
lowed to vote here, wich they hev done
reglerly, and, wo is us! they hev votid
the Radikel ticket with regularity that
is friteful --=-z---'7-.s-ss-'
They will do so no more. Now that
the bayOnits Nv Fedrel minyuns cannot
be yoosed to perfect EN-, we shell run
things in our own way. We shell exer-
else our rites eZ freemen, and shell not
permit inferOr race to Overawe us and
prevent that free expression NV opinyun
at the poles that is the birthright NV ev-
cry Southern citizen.
We met an organized to wunst. The
| fOllerin reSOlOOShens wuz passed:
WAREAs. The exercise NV the ballot
by ignorant niggers Nv Afrikin de-
scent
Deekin Pogram asked whether all mig
gers wuZn't Nv Afrikin descent?
Joe Bigler, wieh wuZ present, sed eff
eny one wood take an inventory NV the
niggers in the Corners, he wood diskiv-
er that a great many NV em clame
to belong to the fust families NV Ken
lucky, on one side at least But went
calmly on
is uncOnstitOOshnel, and agin the inter-
est NV the roOlin Cawcashun race, on
less the sed niggers will consent to vote
ez the sooperiOr race dictates; and, ware
as, the only thing that can gife EN- the
ballot is the Overshadderin infooenee of
the Fedral bayOnits; and, wareas,
Dimocratic Congris hez made it impossi-
BILE for Fedral baycnits to interfere to
preserve what they call the peece, re-
leeving us Nv that incubus,
! Resolved, That the Corners do to
wunst organize itself, to the end Nv per-
servin the purity NV the ballot-box by
exclOOdin all citizens NV Afrikin descent
wich don't vote with the Dimocratic
party.

the peace, every nigger that comes with
a Republican ticket to the poles shel be
allowed jist one minute to change his
| ticket to stratc Dimekratic one, and
eff he persists in his nefarious designs,
his he'd shell be immejitly blowed off, in
the interest nv peeee and qniet.
/ Resolved, That the formashen Nv
speshl poleece, armed with double-bar-
relied shotguns, to prevent the polushen
Nv the ballot-box by nigger votin, shell
be entrusted to Issaker Gavitt, ESQ.
Issaker went at it, and he he'd his club
enrolled tO-wunst. He hez a hundred
men, all Nv em with shotguns, which
will patrol the county on next elecshun
day, and any niger that hez not prop
er ticket will either change it or be to-
wunst killed. Dekin Pogram contrib
bitid two pounds of powder, and the rest
Nv the citizens showed ekal zeal and
Iliberality.
1 can't be too happy over this bill. It
gives us our rites agin. Ez citizens we
kin arm ourselves and attend the poles
and kill ez many Radicals, black and
white, ez we choose, but there can't be
no armed posse come against us to pre-
vent it. Eff we we Good hev dictatid to
Congris what they shoood hev passed
they cOOdent hev sootid US better. There
is now law agin the Government ba-
rim arms at the poles, but ther amt no
law whatever agin o,tr doin it. We've
got EN- halleloogy!- Eff Hayes don't We
to it, we are in jist the posishen we
want. Eff he does veto it, the cuss NV
evry troo Southern witch rallied under
the stars and bars will foller him thro
this world and the next.
! Eff the frodulent President Hayes
don't veto this bill, the kentry may look
for an increest Dimekratic majority
from this deestrick, unless these unrea-
sonable niggers all manage to get out to
Kansas. In that event we shell be ez we
wood hev been, only eff they go in con-
Sekence of wat they foolishly call be de-
prived Ov their rites, the soOperior race
will be starved out in conscience of
having no labor, and we may hev to EN-
ligrate also. But we hope for the best.
Issaker says that with his shotgun bri-
gade he thinks he kin kompel EN- all to
stay, ez he proposes to patrol the river
banks, turn all NV em back who want to
get away, and forse EN- to reSoOm labor
on sich terms ez we shell dictate
Their amt nothin like organization.
BY organization we compel the niggers
to stay with us, and also prevent EN-
from votin. Their is everything in sys-
I tenn. The Corners is jubilant. This ar
my bill solves the problem Nv the age,
and we are happy. We hey the niger
by the wool, jest ez we yoost to hev him.
and everything is serene.
