MIR. Nasty Becomes Indignant Over the
Course of Mr.. Bragg, of wisconsin

/ witch is in the State Nv Kentucky, n \
| Jan. u, 1879.
The perverseness of some men is be
yond all human calkalashun, and thu
misforchoons NV the Dimocrisy is suthi1
wich nothin short Nv infnity kin calke
late upon. Their amt no disiplin in the
party, but it seems on the contrary ez
tho every man NV EN-, from the highes,
down to the lowest privit in the ranks
wuz fitin on his own hook. '2 eltlj II
Their wuz a bill interdoost into Con.
girls remooneratin a Kentuckian, named
Mitchell, for cotton seized by Linkin's
hirelins, and the proceeds Nv wich went
into the Fedrel treasury, and wuz
yoosed to crush the South in its HOLY
struggle for its rites.
1t wuz very simple. case, Mitchell
went South at the beginnin of the un-
holy croosade. He had pass or suthin
from Fedrel General to go South, but
when he got there he preferred to stay,
and he did stay for years eti.# htfa
~ Bein troo Kentuckian Mitchell went
into the Confedrit servis,. ez. a Commits
sorry or suthin of the sort. That he wuz
troo friend Nv the South is evidenced
by the fact that he came back alive and
wuznt hungto the nearest tree. x
Doorin his absence his cotton wuz
remorselessly seezed by Linkin's trends,
and confskatid. - I|Sf'.';o'
After the South wuz crushed, Mr..
Mitchell's wealth bein mostly in Con-
fedrit money, he bethought himself NV
the cotton. l don't know how much
cotton wuz taken, nor is it necessary
that | shood know. i only know that
he put in a claim for $128,OOO, enuff to
enable him to live in considerable COM
fort and smooth his pathway to the
toom., That wuz all about it. It wuz a
case wich appealed to every Dimocrat,
and it ought to hev gone thro the House
with a swhoop, ez the beginnin of con-
silliashen. a't
But, before it cum to vote, Dime
KRAFT named Bragg, of Wisconsin, made
a insenjary speech agin it; and, to add
insult to 1nloory, he gave the suffrin
South motifs that SIGH cla1nes would be
resisted by the Democrisy of the North,
and that ther wood be no earthly yoose
IN interdoosin SIGH bills.
Let me ask Mr.. Bragg wat he means :?
Is he Dimekrat, and does he compre-
bend the hull dooty Nv a Dimekrat :?
Wat wuz he electid fur? Wat rite hez
he to hold a seat in Congris ez Dime
KRAFT, and cast his vote agin Dimekratic
measures? He is insubordinit. He
heznt the remotist idee Nv wat his doc
ty really is. Wat did the. South cum
back into the Yoonyun fur?
He seq it will be the entrin wedge for
SIGH appropriations till the Tresurv is
bankrupt. Sposen it is? Doesn't Mr.,
Bragg understand that the South is
bankrupt? Doesn't Mr.. Bragg under
stand that rite here in the Corners we
hev clames agin the General Govern
ment for more than twice the amount
Nv Mitchell's beggarly demand? Why
Deekiu Pogram lost twelve mules and
all his fences, and Capt. M'Pelter his
dlstillery with it's preshus contence
lsaker Pogram seq he lost suthin; and
ther amt a citizen Nv the Corners but
wich diskivered he had bin impover-
ished by the bloo-kotid hirelins the
the very mint it wuz diskivered that
there wuz pospeck NV Dimekratic
House and SENT and consekent pay
ment Nv these clames
The effeck on the Corners Nv this
prospeck Nv payment wuz instantaneous
and strikin' Their revived in our
breasts feelin' Nv devoshun to the old
flag wich we hedn't felt for years. Their
wuz an immejit longin' to see it's folds
foatin' everywhere, and expreshuns be-
gun to be heerd that perhaps the South
had made a mistake, and that the old
flag wuz good enuff for us. And, what
wuz better, jist the second that the pay
ment Nv these clames wuz considered a
shoor thing, Bascom re-established the
credit system, and, in the most generus
manner, put down on his slate list ez
many drinks ez we ordered. When a
citizen sed, "Put it down. Bascom," his
inquiry wuz: "Hev you a clame agin
the Governments" and, as the anser
alluz wuz, "Certainly-mules," he put
it down cheerful and smil1n'.
Doc 700 know, Mr.. Bragg, wat yoor
insenjary speech hez dun? It hez
crushed out yoonyunism here entirely
1t hez revived the old feelin Nv ami
mostly to the Fedrel Government, and
revived the snaolderin discomfort that
wuz well nigh extinguished. The citi.
zens murmur: "Then the Government
amt goin to pay me for my mules
On the Governments"
1saker Gavitt seq that eff Bragg, NV
Wisconsin, succeeds in blockin the pay
ment to him fur the mules that John
Morgan took, the hopes Nv the South
for free Government are forever
dashed, and that freedom may ez well
commence her shreek.
The redin Nv Mr.. Bragg's speech hez
plunged the Corners into gloom, from
