TULARE, CAL, August 6.-Lsst night
mob went to the Jail where a man was
incarcersted for an attempted assault on
Della Williams, 10 years of age, with the
intention of applying tar and feathers
and whipping him. The officers were
apprised beforehand, and removed the
prisoner. The prisoner was arraigned
this morning on charge of petty larceny,
and received sentence of sixty days.
Nothing was done with the assault case,
as the girls father did not wish to bring
his daughter into court.

DANGEROUS STRIKERS.
MObs of Huns Driving Laborers
from work.


CoNNELLsvILLE, August S-This after
noon a mob, composed chiefly of Hun
garians, went to the Paul works on the
west side of the Youghiogheny river and
drove the men from the works. They
also drove the laborers out who were at
work on new ovens there. The General
Superintendent was in the engine house
at the time, and kept the mob at bay
with revolver. No one was hurt and
no damage was done to the works. The
crowd then proceeded to the Clarissa
mines, and on the way passed the Nellie
works, where the men took to their
heels. At Clarissa the men were forced
out, as we'll as laborers at work on the
reservoir. The Huns, who composed the
mob, were drunk and wild with anger,
and the working men only escaped injury
by running away.

THE BLACK DIAMOND.
The Canucks Sttll Talking About
the Alleged outrage.


OTTAWA, August 6.-The Minister of
Customs has received telegraphic re-
port from Victoria regarding the escape
of the Black Diamond.
The Minister stated that the owners Of
the Black Diamond have not asked for
protection, and that the matter will not
come before the Cabinet until the report
is received by mail.
TORONTO, August GA special from
Ottawa to the Empire, Government
orgen, says: "There was considerable
chuckling here at the news from Victoria
of the safe arrival there of the sealer
Black Diamond, although there is natur-
ally much resentment still felt
at the outrageous conduct of Cap.
tain Shepard in forcibly boarding
the vessel and breaking the ships
lockers. Sbepard's action and that OF
his Government affords a very ramarka-
bic contrast to the treatment extended
United States fishing vessels that have
been seized or detained for transgression
of the Canadian fishery laws of the At
lantic. Apart altogether from the recent
seizure, the conduct OF Captain Shepard
must, of necessity. engage the most seri-
GUS attention of the home Government.
"In this case vessel having British
register and Aging the British flag is
boarded on the high seas and forcibly
searched Under these circumstances it
is surely due to British vessels pursuing
legitimate calling that the Imperial
Government should withdraw further
protestation ard take prompt and de-
cisive measures to protect its commerce
beyond the territorial waters of the
United States or any other country"
Collector Hanley telegraphed the
Minister Of Customs that the Black
Diamonds papers, clearance, coasting
license and certificate of registry as we'll
as the salted skins were taken from her.

A Wretched Travesty.

President Harrison finds himself very
much embarrassed by his cast.iron
pledges of devotion to Civil Service Re.
form, and the expedients to which he has
been compelled to resort to justify his
removals are frequently of a very absurd
character. Perhaps the most farcical
thing which has happened in many day
was the peculiar strategy by which John
McGonnigle, the editor of the Ventura
Democrat, and the honest and capable
Postmaster of San Buenaventura, was
removed. Mr.. McGonnigle's admirable
administration of the duties of his office
had made him hosts of friends in the
Republican party, who thought that in
his person there was q chance to show
that the Republican professions amounted
to something. This Democratic stalwart
knew his goose was cooked, ow.
ing to the pronounced enmity of
General Vandever, but he was
determined to show just what there was
in the Republican protestations that a
good official should be left in the undis-
turbed possession of his Office. Now it
30 happens that First Assistant Postmas-
ter General Clarkson and Gen. Vandever
were old-time Iowa cronies and
neiehbors, and they put their
heads together to discover "cause"
for McGonnigle's decapitation. Upon
his removal the Ventura editor
challenged Gen. Vsndever for the reasons
which had led to his (the editor's) being
made to walk the plank, and in due
time the following reply came to Gen.
Vandever. 1t is certainly literary and
official rara avis. We reproduce it in

First Assistant Postmaster General.
Hon. VIM. Vandever, Ventura county,
California.
The clamor of Vandever's own political
friends led to the production of this pre-
cious epistle.
1t go happens that, during the whole
term of Mr.. McGonnigle's incumbency
of the Ventura Postoffice, the sum total
of sealed envelopes sold by him amounted
to $2.17. Of this large sum, nine cents
had been collected during the Harrison
administration. The sales had been
reported to the Auditor of the Postoffice
Department, and it appears that they
should have been sent to the Third
Assistant Postmaster General, but as no
special instructions had been sent to that
effect, Mr.. McGonnigle simply turned
this enormous sum into the channel in
which he had been won't to make his
other remittances. There was no allega-
ton that he had disobeyed instructions.
1t was simply a mere error Of routine,
which could be corrected by a word.
But what terrible plight was that in
which he left Mr.. Harrison's admins
tration! Postmaster General Wana-
maker himself could not sleep o'nights
for thinking over that misdirected nine
cents. 1t was true that the money
was in the department, but it was
in the Auditors Office, instead of
that of the Third Assistant Post
master General. And then the poor
contractors Think of the perfect fever
of anxiety they must have been in wait
ing for that nine cents, with nothing to
console them in their agony of hope
deferred, that could not have failed TO
make their hearts sick, but iced cham

WASHINGTON, June 20, 1883.
DEAR sIR-In reply to your letter of
the 1st inst, in which you asked to be
informed of the reasons which led to a
change in the incumbency of the Post
office at Ventura, California, have the
honor to state that the Third Assistant
Postmaster General reported Mr.. McGon-
igle, the late Postmaster, for pereistently
neglecting, after repeated requests, to
render reports of sales of letter-sheet en-
velopes at his office, which negligence
ors and brought the department into a
questionable attitude. Therefore it was
deemed necessary to make change in
the incumbency of the Office.

Result of Too Much Society.


Frank Walker, ex-assistant states attorney,
rode down town on a street car few mornings
ago. There is nothing singular in this fact
alone, as he does it every day, but when he
threw open his overcoat in an unguarded mo-
ment on this particular morning he disclosed to
the passengers sitting opposite him dressing
jacket faced in blue satin and q very springy
pair of soda-water pants. Discovering his in
discretion, he hastily rebuttoned his outer gar
ment and endeavored to LOOK unconcerned. It
WAS dismal failure, however. When he
alighted from the Car he was joined by a fell
low-passenger who knew him and who had
caught neeting glimpse of the masquerade
attire hidden beneath his overcoat. He asked
him why he was SO dressed. 'Ill tell YOU"
said Frank. The fact il, I have been going
about good deal in society lately, and have
been in the habit Of bringing my dress suit

Moral Laws Inflexible.

Gail Hamilton in Globe Democrat.
Strike after strike comes and goes-and
fails-or succeeds. But the suffering out of
sight, who can tell? The anxiety, the uncer-
tainty, the sad certainty, the apprehension,
beside the actual privation in innocent homes
is it not the moral duty Of the rich to prevent
this? The laws of business are, on business
lines, infiexible. But moral laws, did man bat
know it, are equally infexibIe. II is idle for
labor to run counter to the natural laws of
supply and demand. Men and women must do
the work that the world wants done. II they
persist in rushing at work already overdone, or
in doing work stability and weakly, they must
suffer. But it Is equally idle for the rich to
run counter to the natural laws of human
brotherhood. II they persist in looking at the
mental powers which enable them to make
money as given merely for their own pleasure
and behoof; IL they coldly refuse to be a
brothers keeper and lend brothers hand,
none the less, sooner or later, the voice Of that
brothers blood cryeth from the ground, and
law answers the cry with blood and tears
whether we call it God or revolution. or the
plague that follows flth. or the rebellion that
throws of slavery.
