bIsught before he recorder. The .frgus aies ;
aAiessrs Elzard wliimoFe, Jsha Moore, J.
Sutherland, n. Brown. Edward Wright, and
II. b. Brewster were charged with assault on
sir. Dostefer. on Saturday las, in bis own
ofEce. It seems that the superintendent bad
discharged, o., as he stalled il court, suspend
Cd these and several other employees Of the
road, IN consequences of one train being taken
OF. HIS testimony before the recorder was in
substance as follows; He was in his oiHes al
the time referred to, engaged in writing, when
informed that Mr.. Edward Whitmore wished
70 see hin ; a mement sfer De was surrounded
bya party Of men, defendants among The num-
Der, who asked Why they had been discharged
and northern men put 10 their Situations. Two
pistols were in bis desk; upon attempting TO
seize them one Of the dsfed fuis anticipated
bis movements, and took possession Of them
neither was loaded, and both were immedi-
steiy allergrard replaced in their former posi-
ton. During an assault, watch he testifes
Ties made upon him, he was straek several
times Ia he face, and on the head and side,
from the effect If which he was confined 70 bis
room for day or two s5ms @, them insisted
that be Should resign his position, which be
refused to DO. Mr. Whiimore told him that
be (Whitmore) had two or three times pre-
vented bin (Dottsrer) from being stabbed by
some one (name omitted) who had a dagger.
In reference 10 tie recent discharge Of en-
ployes on the road, witness stated that the
places d those dismissed had not been flied
by other men that The only nen De had en-
ployed since his connection with he road we're
bis clerk, Mr.. Eavsnsugh, and another gen
lsms5, whose predecessor had resigned. The
gentlemen who were arraiEned Tor this assault
have for some time p7si-a portion Of them
Ter years-been in the employ OF he Memphis
and Ohio railroad company in various eaPaei-
ties. T5ey sTs an reliable, Industrious men,
ard We believe no charge Of i-nccmpe,sncy or
non-faifiment q duty has been alleged
against them. The grievances on the part Of
The superintendent, wbten led 70 TIC difficulties,
we're not adluced N ccurt. The defendants
considered that their actions in Tie matter
were justified By the conduct % Tie supcrin-
iendsnL The recorder dned the accused ten
dollars each.
