AN OUTRAGE THAT IS NOT TO Go UN-
| PUNIsHED.-One OF the best citizens of our
| town-a gentleman who stands high in the
| community and has the respect and esteem
| of all who know hm-bas just cause for
| complaint at the insults and diguities
| heaped upon the members of his very excel

on their way TO and returning from the
| concert at the Court House on Friday even
! ing last, and the young black guards who
| banded his name from mouth to month, for
| The purpose of creating laugh at the ex-
| pense of of his most accomplished
| daughters and the gentleman who accom-
| panied them, will find themselves called to
| account before long in a way they least ex-
| pected, but well deserve. The aggrieved
| gentleman has fully made up his mind to
| teach the beardless ruffians Lesson that
| they will not soon forget, and in so doing he
! will receive the thanks and encouragement
| Of a community that has long been dsgrxced
| by the infamous conduct of a certain class of
| young men unfortunately too well known in
| our town. He has already obtained the
names Of several parties implicated in the
| outrage complained Of, and soon as he
completes the list, which he anticipates no
tronble in doing, he proposes TO make an ex-
| ample OF them that cannot fail to strike ter
| ror into their hearts and prove TO their sor-
| row that they cannot longer insult respecta-
be people on the public streets or elsewhere
with Srazeu affrontery and without any fear
/ a. the consequence. In this. as we have
| said, the gentleman in question we'll deserves
| aud will receive the approval of every right
minded person in the community. aud the
| punishment he proposes 10 not only we'll
| merited, but OF a character which is abund-
| antly calculated to crush out this great and
! growing evil in our midst. God speed the
