Worse than Devils.

A Las Vegas correspondent of the Cin-
cinnati Enquirer deals with the outrages
committed upon Pugh before his death
some Of which, however, he is unable to
describe because of their revolving indie
cency. He says:
went to the place where the stage
was stopped and where young Pugh was
captured There was with me some of
the party who had found the young mans
body, and they took me over the trail
that led to the spot where the murder
was committed. This was two miles from
the scene of the capture. Every five hun
dred yards or so there were imprints in
the ground of mans knees, and the
guides explained that at these intervals
the prisoner had sunk down from ex-
haustion and to implore his savage cap
tors to spare his life or to put him out of
misery by killing him. If he pleaded for
life at first, he begged as hard for death
at last, for over the last mile of the trail
was sprinkled a copious stream Of blood,
and the sequel showed that the Indians
had committed such an atroeious outrage
upon their prisoner that no man thus
mutilated could hope or wish TO live
minute thereafter. The body was found
by the Mexican soldiers on the day sue
ceeding the murder. Ii was swollen TO
prodigious proportions, and examination
revealed the sickening extent of the mu-
tilations perpetrated by the dastardly
towards. II was while suffering from
such barbarOus torture that the demons
his captors, had forced him to walk over
mile. When he could no longer drag
himself along, the brutal Apaches filled
his body with bullets aud left him to rot.
When the Mexican soldiers found the
corpse they dug hole with their bayo-
nets, the only tools they had, and buried
the swollen, distorted remains as best
they could. Returning the next day the
MeNicans discovered that the cayotes had
dug the body up and had stripped it Of
the greater portion Of Its flesh. The sol
diers again made a grave, and inferred
the remains in decent and safe manner
after which a stone and a cross were
placed in position to mark the grave.
The Indians who committed this out
rage were supposed to be good Indians,
and were out of their own bailiwick on Il
special leave from the government to
hunt They seem 10 have taken 1t for
granted that they we're licensed to hunt
human beings and to murder in cold
blood all they found unprotected. A
couple Of weeks prior to the murder of
young Pugh the same gang of eutthroats
captured a party of emigrants, among
whom were six women. The he'll hounds
violated the persOns of the women in a
most fendish manner, after which they
hung them up by the heels. Then they
secured red hot lnchpins from the ashes
of the wagons they had burned, with
which the monsters tortured the women
to death. The manner in which they ap
piled the heated piece of iron to their We
tins is too disgusting to be mentioned.
The United States government might
make mistake of one or two Indians,
but it is thought by some very humane
people that it is time that the government
should vary its mistakes by making the
one proposed.

LIBRARY AND CABINET.

The library, including the Seattle city
library, which has been given in charge
to the university, includes 1900 bound
volumes, and 800 pamphlets and is grad
ually increasing. The specimens in natu-
raj history now occupying a room by
themselves, and labeled with scientific
name, date, name Of locality and donor,
are of great use in class instruction. The
philosopher and chemical apparatus, par-
chased with money appropriated by the
Legislature, has proved quite seryiceable.

PARSERsBURG, November So 1SSl.-Dur-
ing an interview to-day with Col. John
Obrien, one of the largest oil operators OF
Volcano, we learn that the outlook Tor OIL
men is rather gloomy. During the past
summer there has been more IMAM the
usual outlay. in the development OF new
territory, sinking new wells, &C., in antici-
nation of a revival of the oil market which
usually occurs about this period OF the
wear but instead of the advance anticipa-
ted oil has declined. Col. Obrien attributes
the cause to the results of that giant mon
opoly, the Standard Oil Company, and does
not see a much brighter future ahead tor
the oil producers of West Virginia, unless
something can be done TO break that huge
combination of capital which IS crushihS
the life out of our Oil men,.

Situation in Wall Street-MOney Tight

New York, November 30.-The weak spot
in the Wall street situation IS the falling

Special Dispatch 10 the Register.
NEW YORK, November 3O.-The Tar
III Convention met this morning, some
thing over two hundred delegates being
present. Taken as whole, they are q
fine body of men, and can be considered
fair representatives of their respective
sections.
The sensation of the day was the
speech of Mr.. Thompson, of the Chase,
Mass, National Bank, in which he
favored the unlimited coinage of silver,
and the issue of silver certificates, and
the interchangeability of government
bonds for currency, rehash of Hon. w.
ID. Kelly's old time scheme. He is q
man of good presence, and was listened
to, but it was plain from the beginning
that the sentiment of the Convention
was not with him.
John Jarrett, of Pittsburgh, we'll
known in labor circles, made the most
sensible and manly speech of the day.
He said that he represented 65, 900 men
who were the producers of the wealth
represented by those around him, and
as the representative of labor, he de-
manded protection for those interests
which so largely employed the labor of
the country and which, without that
aid, could not afford to pay prices which
would enable them to live as befitted
citizens of a great Republic.
j. B. Grinnell, of Iowa, who was at
one time a member of Congress and
Lieutenant Governor of the State, a
meek, bald-headed, squeaking-voiced
representative of the sheep raisers, got
OFF a speech of considerable length, the
substance of which was that his State
had raised 275,0OO,OO0 bushels of corn
last year, and he wanted it all eat up i'll
the State. Whether he proposed to pro-
hibit the expectation of that cereal or
eat it all himself, did not appear from
his remarks.
This speech brought the convention
to its senses, and after a speech of near
ly an hour, by JOS. WhOrten, i'll favor OF
referring the whole subject of tariff re-
vision to q committee, the committee
adopted a rule limiting speeches to five
minutes, and giving those who desire,
the liberty of having longer efforts print
ed. don't know how much has been
appropriated for the purpose, but judg'
ing from the amount of talking talent
| already displayed, the volume will equa
| q Webster Unabridged in size and be as
interesting reading. The resolutions
ordered to be referred to the committee
| without debate.

this morning In McCormick's Hall.
The vast building was crowded with
people, and there were about two hun
dred delegates present. This great A.
sembly of representative workers for
Irish National independence presents
many interesting features as delibera-
tive body, and II Is likely that its acton
as q political congress will be looked for
with eagerness and even anxiety by
hundreds Of thousands OH both sides Of
the Atlantic. 1t Is the first thoroughly
representative convention successfully
wrought out by Irishmen OF
the old and new worlds I'm

OF the Commonwealth and liberty OF tho
"new" Ireland; and NJ there are many
thoughtful and intelligent men within
It's ranks, the future proceedsngs OF
the convention are looked forward To
with the keenest expectation and inter
est.
The convention was called to order at
10 oCisck this morning, when y tenn
porary organization was effected. Tho
whole Of the day was devoted to busi-
ners, and this evening grand reception

NJ. p, for Galway; the Hon. I. NJ.
Hcaly, NJ. p. for Wexfori, whom Mr..
Gladstone recently called "the ablcst Of
Mr.. Parnell's lieutenants;" and tho
Rev. Father Sheehy.
When asked the Object Of this gather
ing, Mr.. O'(Onncr said to your corrts-
Dondcnt that it was to "crcate u rcprc-
sentative and organized body OF men
that should take u united action upon
the Irish question as seen from this sido
of the Atlantic. There are In the United
States two or three millions OF lrishmcn
who are enrolled In various organizn-
tions, and al willing Ia support and
contribute Ia the national cause at home.
They are willing and eager to give II
they are but supplied with the ncedful
machinery for action. Our struggle 10
yet very largely II financial one, and tho
stronger our sinews Of war the better can
We make the battle"
"What Is done with the money raised
hereg'
at is used To support those tenants
who are loyal To the league, and who
sustain the n0-rent manifesto. They
maintain their loyalty to the bitter end,
and when prosecution and eviction fol-
low, the League protects and supports
them"
With refeience TO the settlement Of the
land question, Mr.. O'Connef Md; "We
do not propose to stop until we hAvs
gotten rid Of the landlords altogether.
The land must bc owned by the tillcns ol
the land, as II IL In France, for instance
ID may be some time before the tenants
can buy the land even at much rcduc
sd valuation, but they must be glvei
