And so we say now to Captain Teddy, "A few more nigrals to offices up north and a few mote t?> our southern po^t off ices. Go the whole hog while you are at it. McKinley gave you a starter by appointing a negro over a white community at Hogansvilie, and another at Athens the cultured college city of the south, but he got alarmed and took the hack track. It was just such a case as you have now In Mississippi at Indianola. for the people of llogauavillc w 'tit \ miles to get their mail rather than take it from a negro?a dirty politician." Teddy lias done no worse on the postoffice line. The postoffiecs are the people's not the president's. Thoy sir almost sis near to us and as sacred as is our preacher or our family physician. No greater insult, no greater outrage upon our rights, could be per- i P fisted by a tyrant than to appoint a negro as postmaster in a white coin- j inunity. The difference between Teddy ! and Mr. McKinley is that the latter pi: ycd fool for a while and quit, but Teddy keeps it up and grows more detic.nt of southern opinion and southern indignation. Sometimes providence afflicts the people with a fool, and some. times with a knavo to tyrannize over them, but it looks like we are to have both fool and knave in the same person. Hut "the Lord loveth whom he fhasti nth." A medical friend from over the line , writes me that he has a growing sense of justice and abounds in sympathy for I our long-suffering people, but that Ted- j dy's deformity does not route from j original sin or total depravity, but : front physical defects in his anatomy, I "I have studied It is cranium and find j that he has too small a cerebellum. ! Mis occiput goes straight tip front the I medulla oldengata and meets the sinciput at right angels and leaves no room for moral attributes. A perpen- : riiculm* hack head like Teddy's iiuli- : eat< a fighting, bear*killing, athletic j ami mo!hardy man. The aphryon ami | the mcHsial plane are cramped together and Teddy's back head is a perpendicular plane without hill or dale. A ; man with a very small cerebellum is peculiar, and it will be found on in- I spcrtion of the sinciput or forehead ; that the nose and cheek bones generally rest on au enormous jawbone, or. 1 as ye. i might say,, the jawbone of an ! ass. !| Teddy had lived in Sampson's day he would have rejoiced to have | b? n liis armour-bearer, and carried his jawbone some." .lust so?exactly?not only so, but also, l understand it all now. and j ibank my medical friend. The lack of j cerebellum and medulla oblongata and occiput has made Tcudy crazy about hoars and negroes and other black woolly things. But I should like to I.- itnr ll-Kn* L- i .. ,1 ,,f u ?ai.ol.?11 ,i ... lliot . follow Cruuapicker or Stumpsucker or ; Dirt dauber has got. that makes him so venomous toward our people. At Teddy's request he has introduced a resolution to have a committee appointed to visit lndianola and see what our people are doing to the colored postmistress. Of course, he will he appointed chairman of the committee, but I'll waj.t r ten dollars he don't go. He is nothing hut a gas bag and a coward. ; Mr. Thompson tried to get him to ; ?omo down to Alabama and see how ! ihe negroes on his big plantation were 1 getting on. He was invited and accepted ; the invitation, hut he did not come. He was afraid. And that is what discourages me about any growing sense of | justice prevailing among the common 1 people up north. If they are getting any kinder why do they send such a malignant man to congress? Hating the south seems to he the stoe.T in trade of most of the northern members. The brainy men. like Charles Francis Adams, have modified very much of late. Forty years ago he was commanding a nigger regiment down here for which I will never forgive him, but lately he has made a speech at Charleston and another in New York, in which he says concerning the right of a state to secede: "If we accept the judgment of modern students anil investigators it would seem as if the weight of argument falls into the confederate scale. The issue was settled by might and not by right." Then why don't they pension our soldiers and nay us for the property they destroyed ?and ask our pardon besides. Four generations! Old John Adams. John CJuincy Adams, his son Chas. Frances Adams and now 'his Charles Frances, his son. nnd hp is 70 years old and has lucn forty years finding out that we had the right to secede and they had no right to free our negroes without paying for them. Resides all that, this Adams took charge of a whole regiment of our runaway negroes to fight us with. I.ew "VVallaee did the same thing. Yes he did worse. He was president of tho court that tried Wirz and convicted him and hung him on perjured evidence. The longer I live the more I am convinced that as a general rule the smartest men are the meanest?especially the politicians. Think of Henry Ward Beeoher preaching from his pulpit that Sharp's rifles were better than Bibles to convert tho slave owners of the south and so his people bought the rifles and the ammunition and told old John Brown to go ahead. But the niggers were loyal to their masters and wouldn't burn nor kill nod destroy. And hence Lew, Wallace nnd Adams nnd many orhers armed all they could muster up and -joined tho grand army and marched them down upon our helpless women and children. At that time there were 30,000 runaways up north?fugitive slave*?the meanest of the race and ( nobod man Down with falthfi Henry have : alty a?

Then the war comes, with its distresses. nnd Forest with three hundred men pursues Stract with lifie n hundred and captures him, and Miss Emma Sanson figures as a heroine in guiding Forest across the river, and then comes the sad story of Sain Davis, the typical southern hero. Interest never flags in the beautiful story, and it will be a landmark for our children and children's children, for it is faithful to the truth of confederate history. ?Dill Arp in Atlanta Constitution. i-. r>.- me Lonsuuirion is mistaKcn. Williams, who made that beautiful ?neo?-h in New York, was not northern Williams, but southern Williams. He is from Missouri, and said "we of the south."
