The ayenging angel evidently has
charge of tho State of Massachusetts, dis
cuised as Ben Butter, He was elected
governor, which in itself was a most
dreadful punishment for the .sbetter ele-
snent' Of the most highly respectable
and rigidly righteous of Commonwealtl's.
Now he has appointed a full blooded
negro Justice of the District Court of
Cta rlestuwn District. II Ben Butler
continues in this way we shall learn to
love him. We have already moderated
our grief over the fact that he was not
captured and hanged during the war. We
recognize him as o useful man-nay,
more, most delightful man! He is
administering liberal doses of her own
medicine to Massachusetts, and the
writings and contortions of the vener-
able concoctor of nauseous compounds
for the remainder of. the country are
magnificently funny. A negro judge IN
Massachusetts, appointed by Sen But
Ter as Democratic Governor !! In Mas
sachusetts, where the negro. in the at
stract has been put on pedestal and,
worshiped, and iii actual life given a
cool and somewhat precarious situation
in the house, for many years! In Mas
sachusetts. the birthplace of Chamber
laine and Whittemore and several Others
of the philanthropic gentlemen who came
down here to elevate the negro, raise
Old Nick and put the State treasury far
up thespout! neutrality-suspicious.
in-Mas sachusctts! The joke is the joke
of the century. The more 1t is thought
over the better it becomes. Only one
thing is lacking to make our revenge and
the accuracy of the parallel complete.
Butler ought to be penniless carpet
dagger from Soath Carolina as our man
Chamberlain was a penniless carpet
Dagger from Massachusetts. Butler is
as great and complete a miscellaneous
rascal as Chamberlaine, but lie has pro-
perty enough TO. make personal and
direct stealing unnecessary. Untortn-
nately for Mr.. Chamberlain he was not
SO lucky. and this State has good reason
to regret that he Came to her in an I'M.
poverishcd condition and departed with
flourlshing finances. But Buffers
general character, and the eagerness he
has shown to degrade and injure the best
people ofhis State, match Chamberlaine's
characteristics exactly. And now he
has appointed negro Judge in the
Charlestown District just as Chamber
laine appointed many one In the Char
lesion District! The subject is fascinat-
ing. We would like to pursue and dis.
cuss it indefinitely. We could direct at
tention to many beautiful condolences
between the conduct and character Of
the Massachusetts Governor of South
Carolina and the Massachusetts Cover
nor of Massachusetts, twins by parent
age and in knavery and effrontery. But
we forbear. We have but one thing
more to say-If the new colored Judge
in Charlestown District will appoint
colored officer Of the color, general ap-
pearance and character of the most Of
our colored officers here before 1876, and
if that officer will work up case against
Frisbie Hoar and dozen other white
cravatted and kid gloved Massachusetts
saints who have wondered so piously at
Rebel lawlessncss and rcstiveness under
negro rule, we will guarantee that the
entire expenses ofthe performance will
be paid by citizens of Greenville Coun-
| ty. We further promise that If proper
notice OF the entertainment is given, ten
thousand citizens Of this State will walk
to Charlestown barefooted if such loco
notion is necessary to get them there.
A cplored Judge in Massachusetts, the
home and fast friend of fChamberlaine
and Whittemore! Appointed by Demo-
cratic Den Butler! Can't somebody Get
it to music. Can't 1T be turned out in
the shape of poetry? We would like to
sing lt.-Greenrille Ne,os.
