A viper in a Southern bosom.
--Our Methodist friends in Alabama and elsewhere in the South have been nursing a viper in their bosoms, in the shape of a German Professor of German in the Southern University at Greensboro', Ala. The lies this Rev. Professor has told should blister his tongue, as the fires of hell will blister his black soul, as sure as there is justice in the final award. The lying rascal, who has been ‘"enjoying"’ (as his reporter, the Cincinnati Commercial, expresses it) a salary of $2,500 a year for four years, and, we doubt not, Southern hospitality in all its munificence and unreservedness, is the Rev. J. A. Reubelt, Professor, &c.The Professor has lately left Greensboro' and gone Northward. When he put foot upon Ohio's soil at Cincinnati, he says he wept for joy to tread on free soil again. How wonderful that his feelings should have permitted him to remain in this hated Southern land four long years at only $2,500 a year!
Arrived at Cincinnati, he found the editor of the Cincinnati Commercial, and interested him for an hour with his experience of Southern life, and with talk about Southern matters generally.
We find his lies copied in the Chicago Times, at which we are greatly surprised, because we know that the editor of that paper knows that they are villainous lies.--Mobile Mercury.
