ii ~ Assault au0 BnttofVs
considerable excitement existed In this
city on last Saturday morning in conse-,
quence of the appearance Of local item In
the Jolrnal which stated that on the pre-
yions, evening, whilst Col. J. As Wilcox and
Charles j. Hardy, Cashier Of the First Ma
tional Bank, were skating on the Scioto
river, they had been wantonly attacked by
William Bidleman, Edward White, Robert
Turner and Alb. Hardy, and badly beaten,
and that they had attempted to drown Col.
Wilcox by endcavotihg to push him into
hole cut in the ice for that purpose, and
gave as probable reason for the outrage,
that Alb. Hardy had been prosecuted Orde-
sertion before, or at the instance, OF ColWn-
cox.
The boys, having been arrested, had their
trial before Mayor Bull on Saturday attwo
o'clock P. NJ. Charles j. Hardy having
filed an affidavit charging William Bidle-
man and Ed. White with an assault and bat
terry upon his person on Friday night, on
the Ice Of the Scioto river. they were ar
raigned and plead guilty. whereupOn the
Mayor sentenced them to ten days connne-
ment IN the dungeon of the County JAIL to
be ted on bread and water; also, to pay the
costs of prosecution.
Col.iWilcox then filed an affidavit against
Ed. White, william Bidlernan And Robert
Turner, charging them with an assault and
battery on his person the same evening, to
which they individually plead mot guilty."
and the trial proceeded. Itappeared from
the testimony of Col. Wilcox, that he, Mr.
Hardy and Mr.. Huntington had been
skating on the ice, and had become sep
arated, and in passing near where the Ice
was cut he encountered three men who, he
thought, were the defendants; that he had
stumbled and partly fallen, and In regain
ing his position, White pushed him toward
the hole in the ice and struck him in the
face, and at the same time, said something,
he could not tell what, and then the three
left, having sticks in their hands. Col
Wilcox then went in search Of his friends
and found that in his absence the same
party had encountered Mr.. Hardy, and had
beaten him badly. 49, s--.--
Ayoung man by the name Of Wolf was
sworn, and stated that Turner was not
present; that he was with White and Bldle-
man, and that Bidleman happened to go
against Col Wilcox and pushed him unin-
tentionally, and that White had merely put
out his left hand, toward Col. Wilcox,
which came in contact with his face. Ow-
ing to the fact that Col. Wilcox was unable
to swear positively to the identity of the
individual who. pushed and struck him, the
parties on this charge were dismissed.
1t will be noticed by the above that Alb.
Hardy was not implicated, or in any man
ner connected with the assault on Messrs.
Wilcox and Hardy. Mr.. Noble, counsel for
the prosecution, stated In Court that the
article which appeared in the Journal did
great injustice to Mr.. Alb. Hardy, and that
the item in question was not furnished by
Col. Wilcox or any of his friends, and that
it was wholly unauthorized. The fact is,
Mr.. Alb. Hardy enlisted and served Two
terms In defense of his country, and was
honorably discharged each time. @ .

ON time 20 timeiWe were told By the sor
Gllsd Union preas, that her treason was of
ne most fragrant kind-that such thing
yatonemeat for her was out Of the apes7
Ion.ai On Thursday, however, Secretary
awAhD, BY direction Of President JoHN-

the conclusion Is inevitable that If the tone

izes THE STATEsMAN's efforts to cause 1t to

declare that the Presidents argument, that
the Southern States are all in the Union

that those States are dead as States, and
can never again live as States in the
