Remarks
We rather unwilling strip the hides of Of these gen
temen but since they nsis, IT, shall undertake the
dsagrceable task and do it thoroughly.
Tbev do not deny one material assertion in former
article They tacity admit that Mr. Craghead as respects
he and inoiensive citizen lives within ten miles OF
Mount Vernon was SET upon by ruian as he with hs
wife got OF the at that depot and beaten with
eCwhde until his face gashed and bloody his brain
stunned and his mind bewideredbeaen to the earth and
beaten on the oah-whie Mrs Craighead appealing
10 the bystanders to take of the brute who mangng
her husband They do not deny that Mr. craghead Yves
taken by surprise the dusk while his hands filed
with packages that he could make effective resistance
and when he had suspicion that any person living har
bored malice against him or wished 70 do him harm
They do not deny that this vilainy was accom-
plshed without any show of resistance or remon-

victim did their duty in the premises How does prove
that the next man Who through malicious tale bearing
ecus hs resentment Of ruhan, may not be abused
as savagey at that depot Mr. Craghead and whas
hae resistance the part of the bystanders Who can
be sure that his rospectabilty-as gauged by the
