DAsTARDLY OUTRAGE.-Dr. Charles Beard
sley, editor of the Oskaloosa Herald, was
assaulted on the streets Of that place by the
Democratic Sheriff Of Mahaska county, T.
II. Macon, ON Saturday, the 18th inst. He
defended himself as best lie could till by
standers interfered. Macon, who is sworn
by his oath of office to protect the Constitu
ton and the laws, followed with rock in
his hand, threatening to take Beardsley's
lite. The Doctor took refuge in q store, but
in the afternoon he was again assaulted by
brother OF the Sheriff. who knocked him
senseless with club and would have beaten
him severely if persons present had not pre-
vented it. The only cause assigned for this
assault was the appearance of an article in
the Herald charging the brother of tie
Sheriff with getting up Douglas meeting in
the county and announcing Dodge and other
men as speakers, for the pur'
pose of getting crowd to talk to himself. |
There was no provocation whatever for the
co ardly attack.
DR.. Beardsley was formerly resident of
Muscatine, and many of our citizens can
bear testimony to his uniformly urbane and
department. Under his edito-
rial control the Herald has ranked as one of
the most high. toned ard efficient Republican
journals in tie State. We notice that the
Wide Awakes of Oskaloosa promptly met
and condemned the assault, promising their
and collective assistance in repell-
ing if necessary all such future attempts to
intmidate the press.
