A BRUTAL OUTRAGE.

A MARRIED WOMAN, WITH AN INFANT
IN HER ARMS, ASSAULTED AND TER
RIBLY MALTREATED.
Correspondence OF the Richmond Com
monwealth.
CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va, July A.
One of the most shocking outrages
was perpetrated near this place on
Monday last, the facts of which have
just came to light. Living in about
three-duarters of mile from the SUBJ
urhs of the city. lives family by the
name Of Maupin. The family is poor
but honest and respectable. On Mon
day last, while the husband was alb
sent, the wife, with three of her small
children around her, was at work in
the house. She saw standing at the
door negro man, who, when she ask
ed him what he wanted, said that he
understood that she had some socks
for sale and he wished to buy pair.
She told him she had no socks for sale
He then made some remark about the
weather and continued to talk until
the woman became alarmed and said
to her little son, aged Z years, that
they would &C to their uncle's, who
lived a short distance off. She closed
the door at which the negro was stand
ing and prepared to leave the house.
She then perceived the negro had come
around to the rear door. She also clos
ed that, and taking her infant in her
arms left the house. When she had
gone about twenty or thirty yards she
saw the negro following her. She be-
came very much alarmed, and started
back to the house for pistol. Before
she reached the house she was seized
by the negro, who tore her infant
from her arms and threw it on the
ground. He then attempted to drag
her into the woods, but finding that he
could not, he threw her to the ground,
and there, in the presence of her three
children, outraged her, af,er which he
fled. When her husband returned,
she related to him her story, and de-
scribed the negro. A party went out
in search of him, and found negro, by
name Joe Bryan or Bryant, who ans
wered the description. He was brought
before Mrs. Maupin, who identified
him as the negro who outraged her,
He was then turned over to The author
tiles and lodged in jail. Since the
facts have become known great indig.
nation prevails, and there is sone talk
of lynching, but as yet no demonstra-
tion has been made.

THE REPUBLICAN, GATHERING AT
INSTITUTE HALL PROVES SOME
WHAT A FAILURE.
The Republicans made terrible
fuss in preparing for their great
Garfield and Arthur meeting at In
stiLute Hall, last night, but withal
it fell fiat in the end, and caused
some of the managers to regret they
had not held it in the Lincoln Club
room. They were afraid to hold an
outdoor meeting or take the Opera
House, so they decided on Institute
Hall-which 1900 people will crowd
to suffocation - in order to lay
claim to Hundreds turned away un-
able to gain admittance," in case
the room happened to be full.
The meeting was thorough dis
appointment, throughout. 1t was
so late in organizing, that for awhile
it was feared the meeting would be
merely the assembling of the Gar
field and Arthur club. Finally the
band arrived, with a motely crowd
of blacks and whites following who
scattered over the hall and did all
they could to make respectable
showing of numbers. Then the
band went down after the Young
Mems Republican Cuban organi-
zation from which negroes are rig
orously excluded-and escorted the
members up to Institute Hall, but
the exclusiveness Of this aristocratic
organization did not prevent the ne
groes from crowding around them
and pushing hard for good places
near the band.
After awhile the hall was filled, and
then, horrible to relate, there was "gag"
in regard to speakers. Mr.. Higgins, MIR.
Bird and Mr.. Conrad had been announc
ed, but neither was there. No cause was
assigned for the absence of the first two
but as Mr.. Conrad was known 10 be al
the School Board where with the aid OF
bis Republican associates he was eD-
deavoring to prevent Democratic mcm-
ber from occupying position of honor
and perferment-Marshal McMullen was
sent otter him. But the effort to prevent
Mr.. Kenney from bt coming chairman of
the Committee on Teachers wasIconsder
ed Of more Importance than addressing
Republican meeting and Mr.. Conrad
stayed at the Board. This was a source
of much regret, as great things were ex'
pected of Mr.. Conrad. He plainly told
the people four years ago that mechan-
ic-a stairbuilder had no right to aspire
to the Legislature. and it was thought he
would heroically break his partyfhackles
on this occasion and declare that tow
path "mule-whack" had no right to as
pire to the presidency of this great Ha-
ton.
However several light caibre speakers
were on hand and the fun proceeded. Ex-
Councilman Baker, whe is beginning to
recover from his utter reputation by the
people in 1877 made little speech of
welcome in which he praised the Re-
publicon party for all that was good and
denounced the Democratic party for all
that was bad. George W. Roberts (of the
postoffice) followed in the same strain
and Wash Hastings also tried his hand.
The closing (and best) address was made
by Fred E. Bach, President of the Young
Mems Republican Club (Which no ne
groes are allowed to john and the meet
ing adjourned with cheers for Garfield
and Arthur.

MIR. GARFIELD APPLIES A WET
BLANKET TO HIS BooM-HoW
THE IDOL OF sPINsTER DILET
TANTI APPEARS IN HIS LETTER
OF ACCEPTANCE.
From our regular correspondent,
WASHINGTON, July II, 1880.
The Republicans have had anoth-
er wet blanket applied to their al
ready too much dampened campaign
in the letter Of acceptance of their
candidate. Mr.. Garfield, unfortun-
ately, was both the inspirer and
composer of his letter of acceptance.
He has not the modest lack of con.
idence that induced Mr.. HAYES to
call on Carl Schurz to make him a
document. Hence Mr.. Garfeld's
letter is much weaker in thought,
poorer in ideas, and less terse in
rhetoric than was the letter of the
last Republican candidate. The
Republican nominee has an oratori-
cal style Of trancendental gush that
makes him the idol of spinster liter
ary societies in Washington, but
when it is necessary for him to out
line the issues involved in the policy
OF a great nation, he is tame and
platitudinous. Instead of the trums
pet call to higher party aims, and
purer national administration, for
which the nearly extinct Sumner
and Greeley type of Republicans
longed, he has given them only a
timerous echo of the timid Chicago
platform. The main question ac-
cording to Mr.. Garfield's presenta-
ton, is the right of Congress to SUI
pervise the election of its own men,
bers, to protect the voter from in
tlmidation, and the ballot-box from
fraud. This is also the main ques-
ton of the Democrats, who call it,,
however, centralization and troops
at the polls-or, in more elegant
language, the supremacy of the mill
tary over the civil authority. 1t fur
nishes their strongest argument for
the nomination of General Hancock,
and they will not be displeased by
having it made a.straight issue. Mr..
Garfield rather abstractly remarks
on The cause of "the most serious
evils which now affect the South"
that they grew out of want of tol-
Grafton of political opinion, but for
this he proposes no remedy. He
thinks the nation canaid popular
education, but should give no sup
port to sectarian schools.
Now, if General Hancock will ex-
press his determination to do the
utmost that in him lies for the pro-
motion of those reforms, for which
Mr.. Tilden was elected four years
ago, he will gain the support of
many Republicans who long for
in the administration
of national affairs.

Correspondence Of the Gazette.
NEW CASTLE, July 20, 1880.
Company A, of the Hancock & Eng
lish Club, Of New Castle Hundred, had
a pole raising near their headquarters
in Shawtown, on Saturday evening
last. In the way of a jollification It
was the first, and we feel satisfied in
saying one of the best ever held in the
Hundred. The county Democracy
was out in full force and as the stars
and stripes were hauled to the top
mast and given to the breeze, old
Shawtown shook with the hearty
cheers given for the success of the
Democratic party.
Pursuant - notice the company met
last night at their room in the segar
store of John E. Brady, and after the
transaction of some minor business
proceeded to the election of permanent
officers for the organization as fol-
lows:
Captain-J. Toner.
First Lieut.-Chris. White.
Second Lieut.-E. Duffy.
Sergeant-E. McDonough.
President-Thomas Foster.
Vice President-George Temple.
Secretary-John Campbell.
Treasurer-J. II. Callahan.
After the election the meeting ad-
journed, giving three cheers for the
whole ticket.
