The "Unprovoked Assaults" Again
Summary
The Frederick Examiner challenges the Frederick Citizen to list the names of those men who were "hurrahing" for Jeff. Davis and were assaulted by a large mob. The Citizen says there are no laws currently saying that someone cannot "hurrah." The Examiner replies that it is tragic that returned rebels do not respect the loyal sentiment of the community they "helped to outrage" during the war. "Not content with the privilege of being allowed to remain here, they claim the further privilege ... of insulting loyal citizens by shouting for such scoundrels as Jeff. Davis." The Examiner says it does not support mob law which the Citizen accuses it of doing.
