republican, lives near Moundsville, w.
Va, He is Sherman boomer, aud dur
ing the sIttings of the Chicago oonven-
tion has been very effective in sounding
the praises of his candidate. This did
not suit some of his ex-rebels neighbors,
| and last night they organized q party Of
half q dozen or more, blaokened their
faces, put on masks, and went to Will
liams' house for the purpose of learning
him how TO keep his mouth shut. They
took him and his four sons, also repub-
licans, out of bed. dragged them to q
thicket, stripped them to the skin, and
whipped them numerically. The men
would probably have been beaten TO
death had Shey not promised to refrain
from publicly expressing republican
sentiments hereafter. About the time
they were through with their five victims
Mrs. Williams appeared upon this scene
and proceeded to give the regulators o
severe tongue lashlng, in return for
which she was severely switched. The
desperadoes then permitted their VIC
Tins to return to their home, after ex.
acting another promise that they would
hereafter be careful in EXPRESSING their
political opinions. MIR. Williams did not
recognize any OF his assailsnts, but
thinks he will be able TO run them down
and secure their arrest, as he has olne
which he will not divulge. The people
in the neighbcyhood are greatly excited
over the affair.
