The Attempted Outrage n Young Lady by
n NegrO-DenunciatiOn Of the Rufian by the
Respectable CoIored Population Of Wash.
ingt0n.
number Of respectable coored people have pre-
pared letter to the people, in which they denounce
the recent attempted outrage on white young lady
by an unknown negro villain. They recommend the
severes punishment to the ruian, and almost coun-
sci taking the law into their own hands, by ynchns
him themselves in case he should be apprehended.
The letter concludes as folows:-
Surely we have enough to contend with in estab-
fishing our reputation as people, and when hell
sh end Of this kind steps in and by his acts heaps the
vest repute upon US he deserves to be handed over
to the people wnom he has dsgraced, and have their
verdict and sentence carried out upon him summa-
riy. No crime more heinous, no act more diabolical
could have been perpetrated that would nave occa-
who know the worthy qualities OF Rev. ID. b.
Nichols Ii Is our most earnest wish that the scoun-
dre may be apprehended and when SO apprehended
he may su1er the extreme penalty OF the law We
cannot, as people, but feel the bltterest chagrln
when we review the course Of DR.. Nichols past life,
how jealous he has proved himself in trying to &C.
cure to the colOred people, wherever he has been,
mental culture and moral training. An act like the
one In question we feel cannot be too severely de-
nounced because It reflects dlscredlt and ngrattude
upon in general, and 1t Is a conventional lnstru-
ment for those who are In political antagonlsm with
US to cOntaminate our character as people.
