ARKEsTED FOR CHEERING FOR
TlLDEN.
Ph1Adelhpia Times

Early in the morning succeeding the
election Mr.. Wyatt H. Cardwell, d Vir-
ginia journalist and gentleman of abili-
ty and refinement, became hilarious over
the supposed election of Mr.. Tilden on
the Presidency, and Joined in cheer
that was offered by party of young fel-
lows in honor of the supposed President
elect. Mr.. Cardwell had hardly got
"rah /" out of his mouth before he was
approached by man, who, after cheer
ing for Hayes, struck him a heavy blow
in the face. Mr.. Cardwell is a cripple
having lost entirely the use of one leg
and when he was hit his crutch went
one way and he the other. The man
who attacked him would have continued
the assault but for the timely lyinterference
of the bystanders. The assailant then
declared himself to be n police officer,
and, after freeing himself from the grasp
of the peacemakers, he summoned the
assistance of an officer in uniform. The
two took Cardwell to the Central. There,
Mr.. Cardwell says, the officers began be-
rating him in the vilest manner, calling
him dirty rebel, asking him how dare
he have the impudence to come North,
and swearing they'd make mince-meat
of him before morning. After indulging
their appetite tor ribald jokes at the un-
fortunate mans expense, they put him
| in a cell, and the next morning sent him
to Moyamensing on charge of assault
ing an officer.
