The Assault of Major PanRborn'
New York, Dec. "Details of the assault
of Pangborn, formerly Of Boston and Worces-
ter, are as foows:-Major 2. K Pangborn of
the Jersey City Journal, was thi morning
atrociously assaulted while on his way to his
Office He had been for some time annoyed by
John P. DAILY, the G. F. Train of Jersey, and
the author of the letters on the BREAD or
Blood question, until the matter came to be
so troublesome that no notice was taken of
them. This made DAILY angry. and on Satur-
day he proceeded to the journal Office, when
he became so noisy that he was elected.
This added fuel to the flame, and DAILY this
morning went to the house of Pangborn and
waited for him to appear. Mr.. Pangborn on
coming out was met by DAILY and the two
walked to Grove street, when just as PanghOrn
| was about stepping on the car, DAILY drew
| club from his pocket and beat Panghorn till in
| sible. Gen. Duncan, a very weak old man,
| went to his assistance, and he in turn was
| beaten, Alderman Brumsted then appeared,
| and he also was beaten by the Infatuated man.
| Capt McHerney of the first precinct, arriving,
| gentlemen preferred charges of an atrocious as
sault and battery against him. After hear
| ing Judge Seymour committed him to await
examination.
| The principal spokesman OF the so,cailed
working men, Mr.. Mcguire, was at the Central
| office to day and had an interview with the
Police Commissioner Mr.. Gardiner told him
! that his (Maguire's) father had informed him
| that his son was a communist and a loafer,
would not work, preyed on his father and fam
| lily and was disgrace to them Mcguire
blubbered like q child at this exposure and told
| Commissioner Gardiner that he was no man to
NEEDLE with his (Maguires) private affairs. :.
Mcguire professed to be conservative in bis
| own views. The Society represented by the
| Committee of Safety intend, he said,. to soon
| call State Convention for the formation of a
new political party in sympathy with the
| Changers of the West.
The Workingmen's Demonstration-
Trouble Anticipated.
| The prospect OF trouble with the workin gmen
| tomorrow has caused some little uneasiness
mass of the real workingmen, whether idle or at
| work, will have very little to do with such de
monstratiOns as have been projected by half
| dozen fire-band communists, who, in case of
| a riot, have everything to gain in the way of
plumber and nothing to lose.
The Police Commissioners were informed
that incendiary handbils were being circulated
amongst the workiDgmen of this city and sent
for the printer of the circular who said that he
| did not know anything more about the circular
| than that they were ordered by a man named
Buck.
The following is copy of the circular:
"a monster mass meeting of the unemploy-
ed will be held at TompkDs Square, Tuesday,
January 18th, 1874, at II a. m. All the unem-
ployed people of this city, irrespective of occu-
patton, are invited to be present on that occa-
