BRUTALITY OF THE NEW YORK DE.
MOCRACY


We published last week faint outline of the
brutal rowdyism of the New York Democracy
in their State Convention. We subjoin an &C
count from the Herald of a bloody assault upon
the editor of the Daily Nesos, the organ of the
| ASSAULT Upon NE Editor OF the Daily Nelcs
Yesterday afternoon person named McCabe
went into the editorial room of the DdilV Nelps
and asked one of the editors Mr. Parsons) if
he was the author of certain article which ap-
peared in the morning edition of that paper, in
regard to the late acts Of rowdyism at Syracuse
Mr.. Parsons referred the matter to his assist
ant, Mr.. Thompson, and, in answer to an inter
rOgatory by McCabe, as to the author of the ar
ticle in question, replied that sometimes he
wrote them. The words were hardly out of his
mouth when McCabe struck him powerful
blow in the temple, and followed him up, stri
king him repeatedly. Mr.. thompson nose was
broken, and his face terribly battered. After
committing the outrage, McCabe escaped. but
a warrant has been procured for his arrest.
Mr.. Parsons, accompanied by officer Houghton,
Of the Second Precinct, Immediately after the
assault, went before Alderman Brady, at the
City Hall Police Court a formal complaint
of assault and battery was made against Frank
McCabe by the assistant. tThe warrant was
given to Mr.. Houghton, AID in a short time
he found McCabe, and arrested him. He was
then taken before Alderman Brady where he
gave bail to answer in the sum of $780,"
The conductors of the be,cs have also had
visit from the United States Marshal, Isaiah
Rynders:
+" Stop that Paper.-Csptain Rynders has
stopped the Ne1cS-Or, rather, has bosterously
requested that the copy of this paper for which
he subscribed should be withheld from him,
The Rowdy Captain, upon the memorable oc-
caslon OF the stoppage to which we have allu-
ded, declared his ability to lick US at his ease
by which we presume, not being yersed in
rowdy lore, he must have meant to use his ex
pansive tongue in such way as he knows best.
He also challenged any of the gentlemen in our
countlng-room TO put him out if they dared |
But, being gentlemen, and not accustomed to |
act toward rowdyism as they would toward geu- |
tlemen, they did sot show the turbulent fell |
low the door. He found it himself and went |
his way amid a hurricane of boisterous Tam |
msnyisms. He has agreat love for knocking |
under. But no what are we sayingl He de- |
clared he was no coward, went out of his way |
to declare it, and wanted some one TO knock |
down by way of proving it. Stop that paper
do :"
If anything could disgrace the present Ad
ministration, it would be conduct like this on |
the part of its high officials and especially those
whose duty it is TO enforce the laws against
evil doors. But it is well-known fact that
Rynders owes his appointment solely to his in.
Huence in controlling New York rowydism for
the benefit ofthe Slave Democracy. he brought
himself into notice as captain of band of ont. |
laws and cutthroats called the Empire Club
and yet James Buchanan appointed him to
the high and responsible Office of United States
Marshal
