THEY GET FUNNY.

funny in his communication of to-day.
He wants to make out that the south is
raising sheol on half pay. He writes
very many very funny things. But as
we print the news when it is news we
are glad to show what some of the PEG.
pie think in the North.
The federal election laws, which are
the laws that do harm, which, by intima-
ton say that the people of the south
practice fraud or would do it, had they
the chance, are laws always.harped upon
by the northern press.
Now a few words about those laws:
The federal laws regulating elections
are a dead letter. The negro vote which
the north bowls so lovingly about is the
cheapest thing and the greatest drug on
this market.
the record is not to be mistaken. The
negro is the fellow who has prostituted
himself in the matter of a soyereign's
rights. This is no twaddle, it is the
homeless truth.
The majority of the negroes of the
south are on sale on election day.
The majority of the negroes of the
south swarm about the polls on election
and offer their votes to the highest
bidder.
The majority of the negroes of the
south will sell their votes a dozen times,
provided they can find a purchaser, be
that purchaser democrat, republican,
g~reenbacker, populist, prohibitionist or
what not.
The majority of the negroes of the
south refuse to work for a stipulated
stipend or election day, because they
boast that they can make several dollars
selling their votes to several candidates.
This is the honest history of the negro
at the polls, and there is no use to daub
sentimental slush on the record of the
world to paint something else.
The republican of1ce-holders and re-
publican otfice-seekers have for years
sought to prove that the southern people
bulldozed and inundated the colored
man which the north claimed to have
freed and left here to starve.
But their whole catalogue of lies, when
revised, will show that it has been the re-
publican party which has bought, cor
rupted and bribed the niger for his vote.
After the republican party took the
African from the inhuman bonds of
slavery, became delirious in its triumph,
and instead of feeding, clothing and car.
ing for the human that it freed, it left
the negro to starve and at once gave
places to greedy politicians who claimed
to have freed the negro, and their excuse
for interfering was that they themselves
wanted pelf and plumber.
The black shade of the African, sold
to the south by the voracious north, was
here, is here, and will be here. But THE
GLOBE knows, and GoD in heaven knows,
thai the south cares for him-feeds him
and protects him, while the north pre-.
tends to shed it's crocodile tears and weep
its sympathy, but has no use for Sambo.
1t is a sublime spectacle-beautiful be.
You'd comparison, to see a northern
patriot out of a job and bidding for a
position which would pay him more than
he could ever make in honest e~ndeavor,
abuse the south and say that we i'm
posed upon the colored race.
For Cons sake why, if the muniicent,
the magnificent and the benifcent north
has such alteration for its brother Sambo,
why, we ask, does not that section take
him to its bosom and relieve him of the
sings and arrows of outrageous fortune
he receives in this fair southland
Why should they leave him here?
The answer comes, the eternal truth,
stronger than the blight of a desert wind,
greater than a cyclones fury or a hurri-
wrath, sweeps back the echo and
says, because
Because why?
Because if the north would lose the
precious privilege of bowling about ne
