A dastardly outrage was committed by the
Augusta Tanners, while escorting Mr.. Bing-
ham from Mr.. Blaine's residence, through
State Street to Granite Hall, on Thursday
evening. They threw some ten or dozen
rockets upon a private dwelling and into the
front yard, frightening the women and chill
dren who were the only occupants at the time,
and endangering the buildings. Mr.. Blaine
was in barouche in the procession at the
time, and did nothing to stop the outrage.
We should be sorry to believe that the das-
tardly deed was perpetrated either with his
advice or consent.-Daily Standard, Aug. II.
In reference to the above, it may be well
enough to say
lst. Speaker Blaine was not in barouche,
nor in the procession, nor in the city, on the
evening Judge Bingham spoke.
I'd. Judge Bingham was never escorted

present not less than 800 voters from Angus

Gardiner. The Hallowell Tanners, with the
Halloweil band, welcomed the visitors and
escorted them to Wilson Hall, which in a
short time was filled and hundreds were una
BILE to get in who desired so to do. The streets
were excessively muddy and disagreeable yet
probably not less than one thousand people
were out to witness the street peagant.

Gen. Swift. He was cordially welcomed by
the audience a. / delivered a most telling
speech. At about eleven o'clock the meeting
broke up with hearty cheers. The Hallowell
Tanners escorted their visitors to the depot
where again cheer upon cheer was given, and
patriotic, inspiring airs were played by the
bands.
Ths demonstration was u grand success
and will be remembered with pleasure by the
good republicans of the three sister cities
Had the weather been favorable the number
in attendance would have been more than
double. The Augusta Band escorted the
Augusta Tanners and as usual did it in a
manner highly creditable.
We are compelled to add, that what has at
length got to be regular accompaniment to

democratic KuKlux attack with stones, brick
bats, etc, was not missing on this occasion.

there made great preparation to celebrate the
election by procuring large number of guns
and amount of ammunition. As the returns
came in they commenced firing. But when
the returns came in unfavorably, they left
their guns and powder. When the news
came that the State had gone republican, the
negroes seized the guns and began to fire
them, and continued to fire, all efforts to stop
them proving unavailing. When he finished
his letter they were still firing.

EDITOR OF THE Journal lis there not a
law to prevent people from leaving their teams
on the crossings of our streets? Ladies and
gentlemen both are oftentimes obliged to 60
to their ankles in the mud, in order to get
across the street, when some team is stand
ing directly on the crossing; this thing has
got to be perfect nuisance and the sooner it
is tut a stop to the better. We hope our
City Authorities will adopt some measure to
withhold people from hitching their teams on
the cross-ways, and see that the crossings are
kept free from four of five inches of mud,
which is no more than those who cross the
street in muddy seasons, usually have to wade
through. OF what use are the crossways if
they are not free from teams and mud?
