On the night of the 8th, inst, Mr.. Richard
Harris, a white man living near Cowboys
Vile was taken out of his house by six dis
guiscd men and severely whipped In the
report 10 Tie State we are told it was for his
espousal 9f the Sheppard and Orr ticket
This. wo arc disposed to think. must lie
mistake, although we believe the correspon-
dent acted in good filth in making his
report. Mr.. Harris is prominent Knight
of Labor man, and is strongly opposed to tho
"Arisocracy," so called.
However 1t may be- the act is openly con-
demned by all good citizens of this commu-
nifty as unlawful and inhuman, and all law
full meaus will lie employed 10 find out and
prosecute the offenders. The Sheppard men
here arc too numerous, to) brave and to,
honorable TO suffer a political ally to he
abused for the exercise Of his rights; and The
Til'msn men deprecate The idea ct resortng
to such unlawful and inhuman measures for
political effect.
The Salem Sunday school expects to
