MAHoNE's PERFIDY.
Lynchburg News.
Even The EXTREMIST Radical of the
Senate must feel the utmost loathing
and contempt for the man who would
deliberately go back on bis comrades
in arms, on his own record, and brand
himself and those who fought with him
as traitorous wretches unworthy OF be-
ing trusted even to hgbt for their coun-
try. And how unutterable the scorn
Of those who served under the same
FLAG with him at this base betrayal
Decency would at least have required
him to keep his mouth shut when the
vote came, but be seems 10 have made
a point 10 be present and oslentatlous :
ly to vote 10 perpetuate the degradation
which the Government puts upon the
late soldiers OF the South. The deep
damnation' of that vote will never be
eradicated. 1t will stick 10 him like
the damned spot that would not out
Generations to come Qf the man is re-
membered so ]ong) will cite is as a
GROWING instance OF ingrattude and
base desertien-
High though his title, proude his name,
Bonndless his wealth as wish can claim,
Despite those titles powor and pef,
The wretch concentrated all in self
Living, shall forfeit far renown,
And. double dying shall 60 down,
To the vile dust from whence he sprung,
Unwept, unhonored and unsung.'
