Eoenezer Spinks, in New Or
leans,
BY R. J. G.
Once on .1 time, there lived in the
mountains of East Tennessee, a young
man by the name of Ebert ezer Spinks,
lie was a stout, hearty, hale looking
fellow, about twenty-one yogi’s •hi;
and weighed precisely One Hundred
and seventy-five pounds. lie had no
beard on his lace, and looked tender
and simple, as an untutored urchin, ot
less than ten summers. Ilis education
was very limited, and he was the very
personification of everything that was
awkward and unbecoming; and when
excited, a little inclined to talk through
his nose, with a slight impediment in
his speech, which often made him the
butt of ridicule, among his most inti
mate acquaintances.
-It used to be the custom in those
days, before Railroad communication
was had through East Tennessee, to
ship produce from the upper counties,
of that fertile section, to Chattanooga:
there the the loading was either sold
out to the highest bidder at the wharf,
or-stored away to be sold on commis
sion ; and the boats disposed of on the
best possible terms, to speculators—
taken over the mussel shoals—loaded
with cotton on the Mississippi River,
shipped from thence to the city of
New Orleans.
It so happened that Ebeuezer was
in Chattanooga, on one of those occa
sions when a large number of boats,
(commonly called lighters) were to be
transferred over the shoals, and taken
directly from thence to New Orleans,
but not until freighted with cotton cn
the Mississippi. Ilauds being scarce
and wages pretty fair, our young
mountain friend, concluded at once, to
make the trip.
Early on the morning,
everything bcihgin readiness, the boats
were loosed from their moorings, and
glided out into the beautiful waters of
the majestic Tennessee River. Many
interesting and laughable scenes oc.
curred on the way, which I will not
undertake to relate in this brief his
tory, but simply state one y>r two of
the most prominent and amusing inci
dents.
CARROLLTON, GEORGIA, FRIDAY MORNING, SEPTEMBER 13, 1872.
About equi distant between Mem
phis and New Orleans, (at IPs landing)
the wind became so high and bolster
uns, that it was impossible to run the
boats, and consequently they Mere
safely and substantially anchored to
some of those large trees, that now
and then, line the banks of the mighty,
rolling Mississippi.
The Captain of the crew, (who by
the by, was a jolly, goodnatured, fuu
loving-soul, as ever danced all night
at a regular Tennesseee ho-down ; and
as fond of good eating, as a French
man is of rat or frog soup, was always
on the qui vive, tor a nice meal, and
never failed to do ample justice to the
good things set before him,) proposed
to the “Boys,” that they would go
out about one half mile from said
Landing, to a splendid Country -inn,
wherevery thing was done up in bon
ton style. So accordingly they all set
out in high glee for the aforesaid tav
ern, and in a short time were pleas
aully ensconced, in comfortable and
elegant quarters ; awaiting the sump
tuous entertainment, that was beiim
prepared by the kind hostess of the
House.
While thus indulging in their anti
cipations of the g<cod things coming,
and what a delightful time they would
have over buiscuit, coffee and fried
chicken, up rode, some half dozen,
elegantly dressed and intelligent look
ing gentlemen, and called for dinner ;
and of course, were received with
that kindness and hospitality that used
to (in old times) characterise, the re
ception of travelers, at a well regular
ted country inn. The party above
referred to, turned out to be a number
of lawyers, in company with a circuit
Judge, on their way to attend court,
in an adjacent county.
It was not long until dinner was
anouueed and a magniffieent affair it
was, sufficient to have gratified the
most capricious and fastidious taste.
‘A large and elegant pudding graced
the table, together, with a bowl of
rich and luscious looking, dip. It so
happened that Ebenezor took his seat
near this tempting bowl, and before
the land-lady, had passed coffee half
way I’round the table, “ Our brave
mountaineer,” had appropriated said
bowl of dip, to his own proper bene
(it and behoof.
The good land-lady, was about to
iuterupt him, when thqCapt. gave her
a significant wink and nod of the head,
to let • him proceed. Here it was
almost impossible tor the company to
control their risible functions—Ebe
uezer colored up—and seemed con
siderably ernbarassed, but still contin
ued to gulp down, with great gusto,
the spijy unction. After while, the
bottom of the bowl made its appear
ance, and yet, he was not satisfied—
straightening himself up in his chair,
with an air of complacency, rarely ex,
hibited upon such occasions, passed
his bowl, with these emphatic words,
“Madam! I’ll thank you for about a
half bowl, but uot quite so sweet if
you please! ”
Every body present lost self-control,
and vociferousTshouts and laughter,
‘had the pro eminence, over eating
good manners and everything else. —
That was one pudding that was never
dipped!
Bright and early next morning the
boats were floating on the tranquil
bosom of the mighty father of waters;
and many a hearty laugh the “ Boys,"
had over Ebenezer, and his mammoth
bowl of dip ; they always accused the
captain of prompting our young hero
on this occasion, as lie was seated next
to him at the table, and was seen to
give him a gentle hunch, just before
he committed the tatal blunder. But
the Capt. always denied the charge,
saving that Ebenezer was of age, and
\ acted for himself.
A few more gentle days, and rolling
suns ; and the boats were sateiy an
chored at the great city of New Or
leans, and our “ dip loving soul," was
filled with wonder and amazement,
beyond description. Next morning
he was up in time to enjoy the pure
and healthful atmostphere, at the first
glimpses of morning light ; and being
naturally fond of a good dram , started
off in quest of the same. He had not
proceeded far until he discovered over
the door of a neat and well finished
establishment, (written in large and
legible letters,) “ Our Fashionable
Saloon.” he paused for a moment, and
then in his rude, rustic, mountain
hoosier-stvle, entered the grocery. It
so happened that the proprietor was
absent, at his breakfast, and had left
the house in charge of a large pet
monkey, lie ha-d trained for that ex
press purpose. For the amusement of
his customers and othors, lie had cut
a small hole in the counter, just over
the money box, had taught this saga
cious animal, when ever any one threw
down change upon said couuter, to
immediately grab the same and draw
it over the hole, and clink it went
into the money drawer.
Now be it understood that Ebetiezer
did not know that there was such an
animal in existence as a monkey.
When he entered said grocery, the
first object that caught his gaze was
this hairy old gentleman, sitting upon
the counter, and looking as solemn
and dignified, as the chief J of a regu
lar post-mortem examination. Ebe
nezer, greeted him with the usual sal
utation of good morning sir! but no
response came from the mute indie id
ual on the counter—he waited awhile
and then threw down a silver half dol
lar, and exclaiming in rather an angry
tone, I want the worth of that in gen
uine Tennessee corn whisky! aud
quick at that sir ! No sooner had the
money struck the counter, than into
the money drawer it went, and the
monkey assumed his former attitude,
looking as stern and inflexible as a
monument, in a turned out grave yard.
Ebonezer stood motionless for a few
moments, as though cogitating in his
mind wliat to do, and then in a fit of
desperation, sprang at the old gentle
man, (as he called him,) swearing at
the top of his voice, his name was
Ebenezer Spink, that he was from
Fentriss County, Tennessee, that his
dady was a boss, and his mammy as
good a woman as ever wrapped up in
that much calico! and* if he didn’t
•give him back his fifty cents, or the
worth of it in something to drink, he’ll
be d—lied if lie dident l'an-out the
whole “Sheragin.”
The grocery-keeper, had heard the
interruption, and hastened to the scene
of the conflict, just in time to save the
hide of his faithful servant. Halloo!
halloo! ! what’s the matter here, cried
the rum seller. Oh, nothing exclaim
ed the Ebenezer, cepi this infernal
old rascal lias got my money, and
refuses to give it back, or its equivalent
in something to drink, and I just
thought I’d straighten the “ old cuss’
out a link or two ! Here the grocery
keeoer, looked into the drawer, and
saw that the change was alLright, and
concluded that he would humor the
joke, by apologizing to this young
‘mountain sprout,” so accordingly, lie
commenced,by saying there \vas*no use
in paying any attention to that old
gentleman over there in the corner-
O
that he was in his dotage and quite
childish and worse than all, had
entirely lost his hearing. This seemed
to pacify Ebenezer at once and he was
in a full flow of spirits, in less time,
than you could say, “ Jack Robison,”
with your mouth open. After he had
satisfied his thirst for the ardent , and
M'as about delivering his parting bene
diction, he turned ’round to the 'pro
prietor of the establishment, (with
eyes all bright, and .a face radiant with
joy,) and thus addressed him: “1 am
pleased with the M ay you have Heated
me, and I believe you are a strait
forward honest, clever fellow-I expect
to remain in the city for several days,
and during my stay, I expect to
patronize you, and that liberally too,
but as for that old gentleman over
there (pointing to the monkey in the
corner,) that I take to be your father,
I consider him a d—n old scoundrel!"
The feelings of the Grocery keeper, on
this occasion, can be belter imagined,
than described.
Nashville Fail,
This Association lias issued the
Premium List of its Fair, to commence
at Nashville on the the 7th day of
October next. Fifty thousand dollars
are offered as premiums. Os this amount
§6OOO are offered as premiums on
horse racing of various kinds. On
the other hand, but §2do are offered as
premiums for cattle of all ages and
breeds ; §6O for sheep of all kinds ;
and §7O for Logs of all kinds.
This disproportion is to be regret
ted. The racing will attract a great
crowd. The Association will proba
bly make money. But will it benefit
the agriculture of Tennessee? Hardly.
Will it improve the morals of the
visitors ? Hardly. The premiums
for machinery are varied, and some of
them liberal ; but it is to be feared
that the good which may be done this
way may be over balanced by the
evils necessarily attendant upon horse
racing.
The regular turf is preferable to
this kind of horse-racing. The latter
is whipping an unmentionable person
around, tire stump. When a person
twists or dodges in the gratifications
O o
of a propensity or enjoyment of a
pleasure, there is involved a harmful
loss of self-respect. Ostensibly, people
go to the Fair, but really to-the horse
race. The same persons would not
become members of a Jockey Club.
They would be less injured in so doing.
At all events, concealment or equivo
cation would not be added to the
enjoyment of a pleasure of at least
doubtful rectitude. The race-track
and the agricultural fair are two
different things and should be kept
separate. The union damages both.

Fellow-Citizens: — There are para
doxes in politics, as well as in all things
else, M'hich are subjects of human
reason. There are political propcsi
tions which seem at first view the es
sence of absurdity, arid yet M'hich
when M’oiked out to their legitimate
results, prove to be the very essence
'of wisdom. And in the history of all
political affairs M’ith which I have any
acquaintance, I know of no more
ILIA'SIRIOL S PA RAr>OX
than the one which confronts ns face
to face at this hour. I know of no
seemingly—at first view, seemingly—
greater absurdity than that the
Democratic party should propose to
establish Democratic principles by the
programme M-e are here to-night to
consider. Yet rs this programme be
in truth an absurd one, T stand before
you convicted as an abettor of that
absurdity. I claim to stand here
AS A DEMOCRAT,
and a Southern Democrat, to take
counsel M’ith Democrats, in order to
make practical the Democrats’ idea of
government-vet to discuss the strange
iD J O
position of attempting to secure this
ideal government, by elevating to the
head of that government a lifelong
enemy of the Democracy.
Now I have stated the proposition
thus broadly, squarely and bluntly, to
meet it. and discuss it, and not to
dodge it. I propose, in this disscussion
to-night, to sound no uncertain note
I trust I shall blink at no issue. J
shalhcertainly indulge in no spirit of
apology. In all I have to say I
propose to recognize the tact
THAT HORACE GREELEY IS JEST WHAT
HE CLAIMS TO LE—-A KEPL'IILICAN,
notwithstanding Cincinnati or Balti
more. And yet I believe that all
Southern Democrats can support him
as a Republian without lowering their
banners or staining their honors, and
without any«! andonment ofpri nciple.
In the effort to shoM r this I shall sail,
as hinted above, under no false colors.
I shall not pretend that it is an
agreeable thing to vote for Horace
Greeley. I shall not attempt to
disguise the fact that if my individual
impulses had guided me without any
reference to consequences, I should
have preferred a Democratic nomina
tion on a Democratic platform—a
Democratic fight, even with defeat ;
but I could not claim that that would
be wisdom or statesmanship. I shall
not disguise the fact that now, deep
doM’n in my heart, I find a strong
sympathy with those honest straight
Democrats, .who as yet have been un
able to make up their minds to vote
at all. Ido not mean with those Mho
propose
TO DIVIDE THE SOUTHERN PEOPLE,
but with those who cannot vote at all.
And now if because of these impulses
and'these sympathies and the hope of
establishing Bourbon principles by
voting for Greeley to defeat the Radi
cals, I am to be classed as a Bourbon,
I must plead guilty to the soft im
peachment.
And as I have come to the confes
sional, I had as well make a clean
breast oi it and say that if a diagnosis
of my political health were made to
night my condition could not be bet
ter described than by the use of the
language so common among us upon
the happening of that most interesting
of events in our families. He!d tell
you that I am about “as well as could
be expected under the circumstances.”
REPUBLICANISM IN GEORGIA.
The truth is it is not very easy for
a Democrat, aud especially a Georgia
Democrat, to vote for a Republican—
even for a Liberal Republican—and
our Northern friends must excuse us
if we can have no very enthusiastic
relish for this thing. They must
remember that the Republicanism our
eyes have been accustomed to in
Georgia has not been liberal in a way
to excite our admiration or our
confidence. It has been liberal it is
true—liberal in the use of registration
laws by which to vote its own min
ions and exclude honest men who
were entitled to the franchise. It has
been liberal in its manipulation of
ballot boxes for its own purposes
It has been liberal in its use of the
bayonet at the polls. It has been
liberal in election laws, for the arrest
and trial and imprisonment of honest
men who would preserve the purity
of thp ballot by the the exercise of
the sacred right of challenge. It has
been liberal with the States credit.
I It has been liberal, if I am correctly
, informed, in its appropriation of the
public school funds. It has, in n
word, with a liberality M’hich would
really be sublime if it were hot in fa.
movts, appropriated our property,
squandered our money, stolen otq
bonds, and trampled upon our rigbt s
| THE GREELEY REPUBLICANS OF GEORGIA.
Os course I mean no discourtesy to
tbe men M'ho in Georgia, with a
commendable self respect aud a proper
regard tor honesty have come out from
| among the plunderers and now
propose to unite in the effort to drive
from the Federal government the
commanders of those foragers, Mho
have robbed Georgia and still riot in
the ruin of Mister States. 1 am glad
! they have abandoned the decaying
j carcass. I only mean to sav by all
this that Republicanism has never
been and is not likely to become a
verv sweet smelling savor in Georgia
nostrils. I mean only to show that
the Georgia Democrat who votes for
any sort of a Republican, must do so
at no small cost of personal comfort;
and it Mould be a happy hour for me
if 1 could persuade mysidLthat to act
as our “ straight,” friends propose to
act —not t-o vote at all -was consistent
with my obligati on as a citizen and
freeman. But as I cannot do this I feel
it to be my duty to vote, and I propose
now to give some of the reasons which
impel me to
VOTE FOR HORACE GREELEY AND
GRAY/. BROWN !
1 set out with the proposition that
Greeley or Grant will certainly be the
next President of the United States.
No sane man with any regard udiat
ever for candor M ill deny this. A\ e
could not prevent this if every man
in Georgia and in the South were to
vote for a third candidate. Whatever
therefore aids Greeley hurts Grant,
and vice versa. No doubt about this.
Now if there be no choice between
t’.em—as tvils, if you please—then it’s
right not to vote. Then no Southern
man ought to vote. If, however,
there be any choice, we are bound to
make the selection and attempt sue ,
cess. /
OUR SOUTHERN - SISTER STATES' APPEAR
TO US.
First, then, T set out with the
declaration that if these two candi
dates before the country were upon the
same platform of principles, with the
same surroundings and promises, there
is a consideration which would still
impel me to vote for Greeley. It is
this: Our sister States South Carolina,
Mississppi, Louisiana, Arkansas and
Texas, believe we can aid them by
electing Greeley. Georgia, in the
Convention at Baltimore refused his
platform—they took him and his
platform. And however much we
may differ with them, I am not going
to refuse the aid which they imagine
we can give. They are our brothers,
they are bone of our bone, and flesh
of our Ik; h. They are bound to us
by stronger ties than those of mere
consanguinity. We are linked to
them -heart to hearl-by that strongest
of all bonds, the bond of a common
sorrow, and an immortal sympathy.
And although we have-weathered the
storm, and now sail into port with the
pirate-crew thrown overboard, and
our tried, trusted pilot, James M.
Smith at the helm, I do not propose
in the great joy of our deliverance to
forget our comrades who are still
outside. They are still in the midst
of the breakers—the roar of the reef
is around them-the clouds roll heavily
above them—the tempest still sweeps
them away— yet with canvas all rent
and masts all riven, they refuse to
lower their flag before the ■ Radical
storm. Let us not stand idly by, coldly
debating with them as to whether
they are or are not mistaken in the
belief we can give relief. Let us fly
at their call with all the life boats that
we can command. Aye, but say some
men that’s an appeal to the heart andnot
to reason. So it is. But when neither
reason nor duty' dictates a different
course, I am ready to follow the lead
ol an impulse inspired by so generous
a thought. * I repeat, therefore, if
there were no other reasons for voting
for Greeley, I would do so because
our suffering kindred ask it of us.
THE TWO NOMINATISG CONVENTIONS
CONTRASTED.
But there are other considerations
which have had their influence with
me. One is the concomitants or col
laterals of the nominations of these
two tickets. At Baltimore was assem
bled the great Democratic party of
the country, which had survived the
conflicts, foreign and domestic, for
nearly sixty years, and which, to say
the least of it, numbered in ranks
many of the truest and ablest defend
ers of liberty this country has ever
produced. They were there assem
bled beneath the motto of “Peace and
good Will among the People.
After the nomination the candidate
was presented, a life-size picture, a
plain civilian standing upon the steps
of the capitol, an emblem of ihe sum
premacy of the civil over the military
law, while from horn and pipe and
drum came alternately “ Yankee
Doodle,” the “Bonnie Blue Flag,”
and our soul-stirring “Dixie. ’
At Pniladelphia were assembled
the Radical party of the North, the
party of destruction, the murderers of
the Constitution, with the pale rene
gades and carpet baggers of the South
while General Grant, the nominee,
was presented as on horseback.
A PANOPLIED SOLDIER,
in all the trappings of war—fit emblem
of the subordination ot the eri il to the
military power, and of the reign ot
the last four years and the years to
come, under him—and from horn and
pipe and drum, from brazen dusky
throats, rolled to the mad music of
on Second l*ctje.
