Outrage FiZZle.

The Loudoun Telephone of Friday last
says:
son Tuesday some little children were
visiting at the residence of Mr. George Hunt
near Aldcr's school house, and evening com
ing on, Mr.. Hunts daughter, about ten years
of age, started to take them home. When
boy named William Beaner, about eighteen
years of age, who was working near BY.
seized the girl-who, being deaf probably
did not hear his approach-and committed
an outrageous assault upon her. The
screams Of the smaller children attracted
Mr.. Hunt and other men to the spot who
gave chase, and after pursuing the boy
through com-fcld they found him hid in
the hay-mow of barn. He was entirely
nude expecting his shirt, his other clothing
being left at the scene of the assault"
The Lccsburg ITashiagfoaian gives the Sc
qucl rs follows
"On Thursday, the Sheriff learned of the
organization of Il party, in the ncighborhood
where the crime was committed, to take the
prisoner from the Jail on Thursday night
and lynch him. He took the necessary pre-
caution to prevent it. Pickets were placed
on the roads approaching the town, and
about II o'clock at night they brought in
formation that large body of horsemen
were coming down the Leesburg turnpike.
Upon learning this, the Sheriff went to the
Court House and rung the bell, to arouse
the citizens to assist him, if necessary,
i'll maintaining the law, but before he could
get back to the Jail the first squad of raiders,
about twenty in number, came laundering
down Market Street, from the direction of
the Fair Ground, in cavalry style, and
brought up in front Of the jail-somc with
their faces covered, others with nothing but
the shades Of night to prevent them from
being discovered. They were met at the
Jail by the Tailor and his sons; the Sheriff
soon returned from the Court House no
citizens had yet arrived. The raiders: iudg-
mcnt seemed to fail them at the critical mo-
mcnt-they sat quietly for moment or two
on their horses-not man dismountcd---
not word was spoken-they took in the
surroundings, and not knowing what TO do
wisely concluded to turn round and dashed
out Market Street, as they came in In Il
lew moments another squad approached the
Jail from the East, up the Alexandria pike,
and, without hating, rode on out of town.
BY this time number Of our citizens had
assembled No further disturbance occur
red. No attempt WAS made to enter the
Jail. 1t was more IL midnight frolic than
seriousattcmpt ut lynchng. Those who had
the best opportunity of Judging think there
were about forty or fifty i'll the party. The
only thing that the raiders did, that looked
like business, in the farce they played at
lynching, was the annoyance they gave one
of our citizens, in holding him prisoner in
the charge of guard in the road near the
Fair Ground, until they had marched down
to town and marched back again."

ALEXANDRIA, VA.
MONDAY EVENING, SEPT. II, 1882.

No MAN. however pronounced his repub-
licanism may be, can find fault with the
Philadelphia american for any lukewarm-
ness in the cause of republican principles;
indeed that paper pushes its republican
ideas to the point of centralism, and yet the
following is what it says about Mahoneism ::
I'VE observe that Northern republican
papers OF the better class, which stood by
Mr.. Malone i'll the earlier stages Of his re-
volt against the dcbt-paying democrats Of
Virginia, begin to be heartily sick Of the al
lance, and that they favor the presentation
Of straight-out republican candidates for
Cougresslncn in Virginia. We observe this,
especially. in Tie -idcertiscr, of Boston, and
The Times, Of New York. We do not see
any excuse for this tace-about in anything
Mr.. Malone has done. Heis just the same
insolent and unprincipled adventurer that
nc was two years ago, or year ago. Until
Mr.. Arthur came into office, and made Mr.
Chandler the dspenser.general of patron
age, Mr. Malone had not so much power
over the employees of the government as he
has now. But what he would do with any
power the Government might choose to
give. was shown as clearly by his demand in
regard to Virginia postmastcrs in 1881. as it
is by his removal of straight republicans
from the internal revenue service in 1882
We have got matters to such pass in Eir-
ginia, that no man who believes in the prin-
ciples laid down in the national republican
platforms of the past sixteen years can con-
time to hold Il national office in Virginia
under this most republican administration
Unless he can stomach reputation, he

The REPUBLICANS in the North and the
Mahoneites in Virginia still keep up the old
cry of democratic buldozing in the South,
and yet the only bulldozing that the impair

those members Of their own race who hay
ing sense enough to know that their welfare
depends upon the prosperity Of the COM
munity, attempt to pursue an independent
course in politics. In Lynchburg the other

republican candidate for Congressman at
