An Outrage.
The Yorkville Enquirer says "On last Menaag
night there was Radical meeting neid IN tae
third story OF the Adckes building, IN TINS town.
The-ostensible object Of the meeting was recep-
tom given by Messrs. Neagle ana oCohnen W
their political friends. Liquor, cigars, crackers
and cheese were the substantial elements OF the
loyefeast, and were sent up In considerable
quantities. The Intellectual entertainment con-
sisted OF speeches from the local oracles OF haal
calism. The meeting broke up about mldnlght,
and some time afterwards shower OF recSs was was
thrown into the window OF the room t1ey naa
left. Many OF these missed the window and STRUCK
the wall, but sufficient numoer were tnlomn
with true aim to demolsn moss oi the ,bs panSs T..
Such an outrage Of course excited me IN.
dignation OF our whole community, anu dlllgenC
efforts were made to discover tne pelpet[a.9'as
so far without success. There are two taeories
on which the mystery is explained. Tne nrst Is
that the outrage was committed by persons hos
tile to the meeting, to show the proprietor 9! the
building that his renting OF room 10 tne haalcai
party was resented. The difficulty OF TINS theory
lies in the fact that the street was at the time
alive with drunken and riotous Radicals, VINO
certainly would have put stop to sucn nostle
demonstration. Nor are there any OF tne oppo-
site party known to have been on the street. The
other theory Is that the Radical negroes, VINO
had been made drunk for the express purpose,
committed the outrage themselves"
