( .or,r,,or ,ist. That sort OF cavil Is In thu
h;ohest degree unfnir, and !, a. soutne-I
nan and q Democratic editor, enter my
naxnost n,otest eeakpst such foolishness.
Colonel-~or Is IL only Brigadier-She
rard 10 not only patriotic citizen anc
handsome. but he is wfthaf particular re.
lioious." But don't, ! beg, let my use On
the phrase recall Hoods cynicai sheer;
"Ay,n cried our coachman' wiih our 'alk 10 crap
"Yd S,s. right No house along the road comes
Twas built by the same man as built yon
And mister wanted once to buy II
But t'o,her driv the bargain much too hard
He AID surely n sum purdisious
But being 90 particular rehFious,
Why, that. you soc. put master on sk"s'u
The Brigadier-Co Colonel sets every day 2
passage from Scripture at the head OF
his column. They are not always apIpro-
pr1ate TO the unities of time, place. ana so
forth. but there they are. all the same /;
rain or shine.
NV idea Is that instead Of disabling this
good. great. and pious patriot with lmpo-
lite and perplexing questions. every ioyai
southron Ithe word loyal doesn't alto
gether fit naturally into American ideas
but then it is very popular IN the 'epuo Oil
can vocabulary should do his pest 70 heip
the G.. o. +. along a bit on IT'S up-hlli PAIN;
Associations should be formed, and steel
shovels afoundantly provided for the
prompt interment of all Confederate but
tons. flags. symbols. and other relics OF
treason, in one common grave, togetner
with the bones Of all those who rebeiled
against the best Government on earth.
And Congress should be immediately in
voked to pass law which should render
reasonable sympathy expensive az Wen as
4" odorCus." after Dogberry's meaning. IN
order that the new law may run smoothly
Stewards preiudices il ought to be
creased with either a biblical quotation or
q verse from some hymn.
TO help the matter along beg leave to
suggest this verse from The war ChriS-
tian's Thanksgiving" by S. Teacklc Wallis.
OF Baltimore:
we know that wisdom. Truth. and Right
To rs and ours are given:
That Thou hast clothed ne with Thy Wra'h
TODD the work Of Heaven.
Teach US 10 hste-as Jeaus taught
Fond fools OF yore 70 love.
Give Us Thy vengeance as our own
Thy pity hide abovel"
And here is an outline Of the law which
Is TO remove all Earring sectional antlpa-
thies and envelope national sentiment IN
wrapper of fraternal love as prudent dali
rymen wrap fresh butter in green leaves
for market:
For playing Dixie" or any other rebel dir on
musical or unmuscal instruments, hno OF az.
For singing ditto, fne Of sl5
For whiting ditto. fac OF $50.
For consciously residing within lVO yarus OF a
Confederate button. fine Of {25
For prehxing "Mr" or Hon" or "Pres-
dent" 10 the namo of the arch-trsitor, Jefferson
Davis, fine Of 500.
For erecting a wooden headstone over dead
re bel, fne of $50.
For laying flowers OF grave of ditto, fine OF
$3.50.
For erecting a monument TO ditto. hogging
alive.
For saying General Ben. Butler Is no better
han be ought 10 be, fine OF $500
For saying that "Stonewall" jackson was
almost as good man as John a. Logan, I'M
prisonment for FIVE wears.
For thinking the sane, imprisonment for life.
For saying "GOf alone knows which side was
right death by slow torture.
For displaying Confederate flag, fnc OF IS.
For coaceaing ditto, burned alive.
This. as have SAID, is merely an outline.
The law could easily be made to include
other disloyal acts and thoughts. There
is no telling how long the Republican
party may be in power, and the sooner
this proposition of Brother Shepard is
acted upon the better 1t may be for the
grand old party.
Confident that you sympathiZe with me
in my view of this most momentOus ques-
ton l make haste to communicate with
YOU. C. w. TAYLEURE.
