MIR, NASBY OESPONDENT.-HE
WALES ANOTHER VALE
OF WOE.


This world is one of disappointments
and woe, and troubles and sich. Eff
Adam when he ct the apple and brot
sin into the world intended to make his
descendants mizrable, he did clean
job, sure. He coodn't have improved
on it SO fur ez the Corners is concerned.
Resumption is fixed fact, and before
the Corners recovered from the prostra-
shen that event caused, there comes to
the terrible nooze thet Conklin has bin
elected Senator of Moo York. and Butch
er Logan in Illinoy. That finishes it.
These men are both haters of the South,
and both upholders Nv the heresy that
man wich believed in secession and such
amt the man to be trusted with reor-
ganizing the country, and they are in
delibly fixed agin payin the Southern
war debt and penshunnln' the Southern
soldiers. Why coodent the Republicans
Nv Illinoy and Moo York consolidated US ?
Why coodn't they hev considered the
condishun Nv the South, and bin willin
to do suthln toward extinguishin tho
fame that is smouldeling all over the
South, and is liable at any mint to bust
out into confagrashen the consekeuces
Nv wich no one kin foresee?
Wat chance hez the South for restorin
her desprit forchoons leaving the Missis-
sippi, and the tribootary streams, with
sich men in the SENT?
Wat chance has the South for gettin
back the cost of the property destroyed
by the fedrel soljers, with Logan fedrel
genrel, and Conklin, persekootor, in
the upper House?
Wat chance hez our Southern braves
wieh served under Johnson and Hood
for pensuns out Nv the fedrel treasury
with sich men ez these in high posi-
tions?
These two men are irritants. They
are to the Southern heart wat mustard
plaster is to the Southern body. l hev
red Conkling's speeches, and L never
did like EN-. He wuz Ablishnist, a
war man and persekooter.
hev seed Logan. l saw him on a
boss when l wuz a member of the Louis
lana Pelikins I saw him every time
looked back, and | don't want no more
Nv him. Eff the North wants US to bt
satisfied to rename quiet under our op
preshuns, they don't want to send sict
men to the Senit It's an insult to the
South, and will prolong the bitterni'
wich is not yit eradicated.
Do the Republicans Nv Illinoy anc
Moo York comprehend how this afex'
the Corners
Do they know that Deekin Pogran
had II houses taken by John Morgan
wich wuz in conscience Nv the Corner
being invaded by Fedred troops, vile ht
lDeekin) wuz sutlerizin in Confedri
regiment, and Good not be at his hom,
to protect his property?
Do they know that Col. M'Pelter will
riskin' his life with Forrest at For
Pillar lost his distillery, with its kon
tents, by its occupancy by fedrel reg
iment?
Do they know that the advance u
the fedrels upon the country at tn
Corners concentrated large force o
confedrits here, wich cleaned out ever,
hencoop and pigpen for miles around /?
Do they know that after the confedri
force wuz here week there wuzn't
rale within ten miles Nv the Corners
Can't they understand that if the fed
rels hedn't threatened this seckshun tina
the confedrits woodn't hev bin sent u
to protect US, and that our poultry, an
mules and rales wood all have rename
with us?
Who is to pay us for all this proper
ty? The confedrits? Alas! there ain
no sich. Then who? Clearly, the fec
rel government, whose unjustifabl
movements brought destruckshun upo
US.
The rales went, and ez our labor WI
taken from US by the emancipashu
proclamashun. they hev never bin IT
placed, and our once smilir' fields al
grown up to underbrush. except wher
nlgger hez bought the land and worl
it,
The hens wuz all killed, and the
hez never bin chicken raised he
since. Whenever chicken pot-p
graces the board Nv an old citizen, it
dead sure thing that that citizen WI
out huntin' the mite afore, to the nigg
settlement at Libertyville.
Nothin' but the inoggerashun Nv il
5 provements by the fedrel guvernmer
= and the lshooin' of fat money to p'
e fur EN- will ever restore the Corners
u her original prosperity. Our people a
paralyzed, and hev no hope.
He'd Moo York and lllinoy elect
! Republicans of the consilitory stile, '
: shood hev plucked up courage and tri

:, chance to give us releef. But with Con
lin and Logan we feel that all is Il
