sUFFERINGs OF A TARRED MAN.

w. ]. Jones, who was tarred and feath-
cred by Reno people and then sent out of
town on the Westward bound train, was in
pitiable condition when he reached
Truckee The Republican says: ''We saw
the victim Thursday night on the Overland
train He was in a truly pitiable condition.
Coal tar or gas tar had been used, and used
freely. The substance blisters like mus
tard plaster. The cuticle will peel off Mr..
Jones just as if he had been
boiled. His hair and the wound
on his head was filled with tar. The hair
stuck out in all directions, or at least mass
of tar stuck out. The sockets of his eyes
were level full with solid tar, which seemed
to have been poured into them and allowed
to cool His whskers seemed a large un-
shapely mass of tar His face, neck, and we
are told, his entire body, had a thick coat
ing The vigilantes kindly clothed him be-
fore putting him on the train. The sight
might have been ludicrous, if it had
not been agonlzing The train was
nearly three hours in reaching
Truckee. The pain endured by
the poor fellow was excruciatng. Sightless,
helpless, coated with a horrid odoriferous
substance he sat silently, with his head
bowed over. Occasionally his fingers would
grasp spasmodically at the open air. Some
times his body would twitch nervously, as il

Truckee, Grandson Jones and another col

aristocratic visitors from the metropolis,
"the most graceful sequel" would be for
them to put their hands in their own

fun, to stand the expense of their sum-

A General Election.

/ The London correspondent of the
Man nchester Guardian says that it is cur
rently stated that the question of a gener-
al election was discussed at the Wednes-
day meeting of the Cabinet. This is GER
tainly to be relied upon, that the govern
ment has decided upon general election
in principle, and that it will depend up
on circumstances when the election will
take place.
The impression is that if the explana-
tions OF Lord Beaconsheld are well re-
ceived, and the Opposition, or a section
thereof, challenge the noble Lords policy
that will be made a justiticationfor going
servative lease of office. Many of the
members of tie Cabinet are oppose,
to general election, but the Premie

INDIFFERENCE TO WRONG

From the Washington Post.

IUII tlc W tsII1IIetoII VoV'
So far as Mr.. Hayes and Tildeu are
concerned it is of no great moment
which is in the White House; butit is not
a hopeful indication for the future ofthe
republic when millions of intelligent citi
zens become utterly indifferent to and
careless of the fact that the man who
was elected to the Presidency is a private
citizen, while the man who was defeated
has been slipped in through the sluice-
ways of crime and holds the others place.
More dangerous than the fraud itself is
this pusillanimous spirit begotten OF the
frauds.
