The extent of the villainies practiced upon
the Southern States by Republican carpet
baggers during the period of "reconstruc-
ton" will never be known. In magnitude
and multitude, they defy statisticiaDs and
arithmeticians, digits and digests, learning,
law and logic. They were infam:es that
crawled like serpents, scratched like jackals,
pursued hike wolves, grabbed like devil fish,
swallowed like crocodiles, sucked like YAM
pires and strobe up and down along the
highways and bywsys of the PROSTATE States
like so many devils seeking for plumber
The carpet-bagger, when he went
South to reconstruct the States late
in rebellion" exiled his conscience, stran-
eled his soul and sharpened his
claws. His high ambition was to steal.
Whatever had escaped the ravages of war
the carpet-bagger had appropriated. Any
thing from piano to a plantation, from
pig to a palace. in a word, anything that
was transferable or negotiable-treasursa and
treasures, municipal and State; bullion and
bonds, cash and credits, the venal villains
appropriated. In the control of States they
issued bonds, sold them for a song and
pocketed the proceeds; riot, revelry and
rascality went hand in hand, and when the
bubble burst and the carnival of curses
ended, the Southern States were over
whelmed in debt, half of which was
the result of unparalleled scoundrelism.
Tennessee suffered with other States, and
she has been trying to find out if possible,
how much she honestly owes and ought to
pay. The Legislature is celebrating upon
the proposition whether or not the people
ought to be taxed to pay debt contracted
by rascals for the benefit Of themselves and
their pals There is not a sensible man IN
the country who, had he been swindled a
the Southern States were swindled, would
not appeal to the Courts for redress, and the
Courts would decide that a debt clearly
fraudulent need not be paid. Tennessee Ii

discussing the question of Southern Stat
+ debts il is strictly in order to always bear IL
mind that Republican carpet baggers an'
their Northern allies concocted the mos
stupendous schemes of plumber that can dis
grace any age or people since time began
That the rascals should squeal under tn
pressure of righteous policy of adjust
ment is not matter for surprise. The peo
pie of Tennessee are not gang o
thieves. They are now at work trying
to find out how much they honestly owe
they are subtracting frauds from facts, ant

of carpet-bag rascalities are the ones VIII

the purpose of enriching thieves.

THE FORTY SEVENTH CONGRESS,

When the Speakers gavel falls at hlgn
noon on the 4th day of March, 1888, the
Forty-seventh Congress no longer exists,
and the power of the Republican party in
the House Of Representatives ceases for two
years at least 1t is unfortunate for the
country that the verdict OF the people in
1882 did not Immediately take effect. The
people who. in November last, declared that
the Republican party ought to be trusted no
longer as ruling party also declared for
tariff reform, civil service reform, as
also for reforms in every department
of the Government. They had discovered
rottenness everywhere and prohigacy in all
things. They had seen the Republican
party rent and torn, the opposing factions
fighting over spoils like ravenous wolves
over a carcass. They had seen the great men
of the Republican party, trusted and hon
ored, swollen with malignity 90 into volun-
tary exile. They had seen President, in
the bright morning of career resplendent
with promise, fall, wounded and dying, as a
result of factional ferocity. They had lis
tened while the wires pulsated with
1
thefts and robberies. They were
confronted everywhere and in all directions
with bossism, bulldozing, and machine
politics, and they decided that the Repub
lican party must go. The Republican man
ayers and bosses put forth their mightiesi
efforts to stay the tidal wave of the people:
indignation. Hubbell assessed the army Of
employees of the Government. More thar
a hundred thousand toilers were made tC
stand and deliver a portion of their hard
earned dollars. Money flowed in to replen
ish the corruption fund by thousand!
and tens of thousands. The press extolled the
Republican party past, present and future
Orators eulogized its mission and measures
and in glowing periods pointed to its pas
achievements, but the people said, Away
with you," and by majorities such as were

nounced condemnation and re
instated the Democratic party in power
But the Democratic party does not assume
control until the Forty-eighth Congress as
sembles. In the meantime the Republican
party bears sway and rottenness testers in
every department of the Government. In
the matter of tariff reform, protectionist'
and monopolists are able to command &
sufficient number of votes to defeat the
will of the people, and the burden
Of taxation will be as crushing as ever be-
fore In the matter of civil service reform
the straight-out proposition to rescue the
employees of the Government from Hub
bellism is voted down and the demand tha
such employees shall be equally divided be
tween the two great political parties of the
Republic meets with crushing opposition
from the Republican managers. ManItestly
the last days Of the Republican party are Il

the wants of the people that has marked it:
career from the first. The hope of the
country centers in the Democratic party
and when the Forty-eighth Congress assem-
bles the work of reform will begin in
