A SONS Savage Attack on His Father.

PORTSMOUTH, Va, Aug. PA few min
utes before the departure of the 7 o'clock
Raleigh, N. c., express train this evening,
and while a large number of negro excur-
sionists were gathered at the depot here, a
young man pushed his way through the
crowd, h%ourishing a revolver. In an excited
manner he called upon the people to get
out of his way; that he would kill the first
man who interfered with him; that his father
was on the train, and he meant to kill him.
He searched the train, found his father stand
ing on the platform of one of the cars, and
began firing at him, striking him in the
thigh twice. When questioned he said his
name was A. NJ, Sydes, living in Philadelphia,
that he had sworn To kill his father, ID.
Sydes, for deserving and slandering his
mother. He said he had followed his father
to New York and thence to Norfolk. The
father said the trouble grew out of the dissi-

with his charges against the democratic cor
ruptionists of Maryland. The democratic
editors who have been echoing like
parrots Mr.. Dana's coarse cry of "turn tho
rascals out" find nothing in the governors
disclosures to shock their pure and sensitive
natures They have no word of exhortation
for turning out the democratic rascals of
Maryland. They have no words of approba-
tion for the courageous governor Of that state.
All of which shows that in the lexicon of Mr..
Dana and his kindred democratic educators
it is not rascally to steal it is only rascally
not to be democrat. Turn tho republicans
out on the ground that, however honest, they
are rascals for being republicans; but never
turn out thief, if he is democrat, for steal-
ing ceases to be dishonest when done by
democrats. 1t is we'll that tho Maryland case
arose thus early to prove that the outcry of
the Sun to turn the rascals out is miserable
and canting swindle. 1t works but one way.
