New PHILADELPHIA, o., October H.
Our town is intensely excited over the
tarring Of 4 man named Young, on Sat
urday night, for beating and otherwise
cruelty treating his wife. Young is a
blacksmith, and three years ago married
the daughter of a respectable manuiac-
turer Of Canal Dover. For some time
past the neighbors say, he has been
treating his wife in most shameful
manner. He was threatened, if he did
not cease his cruelties to her, he would
be- punished.


On Friday last the father came here
and took his daughter away from
Young. On Saturday night last Young
was deCOyed into retired street, and
at given signal the gas was turned out
and squad numbering about twenty
five men surrounded him. \ cloth was
quickly thrown over his head, and he
was marched off. He was terribly
frightened and yelled murder. Not a
word was spoken by his captOrs, but
they all worked according TO
signs given by one of their number, who
appeared to be the captain.

laid under the coal-tar pump His
shirt-collar was first unbuttOned and
warm coal tar run down his back, filling
his shirt. Then his pantaloons We're
unbuttoned and they were filled. To
finish the Job they stood the frightened
wretch on his head and pumped the
warm coal-tar in copiOus quantities
down his pantaloon legs. BY this time
he was well coated with warm tar from
head to foot and severely pummeled in
the bargain. The mysterious squad
then quietly disbanded and Young was
allowed to go his way.


BY the time he reached home the tar
had cooled and solidifed in his hair and
all over his body, sealing his fine cloth
ing fast to his skin. Physicians were
sent for, help called in, and the whole
night spent in the severe and painful
task OF relieving him. Turpentnc and
carbon oil were freely used the entire
night, and from the effects OF scraping
and rubbing the poor fellows body is
frightiully swollen, the blood fairly
bursting from the veins. Ii took three
hours to remove his clothing. His IA
ther, it is said, offers reward of 500
for the apprehension of the tar painters.
1t was terrible punishment, and it is
wonder that Young still lives.

For nearly century elections have been
conducted under State laws without sugges-
ton of illegality. All our Presidents were
chosen under those circumstances, and not
the slightest imputation of fraud attached to
their title. It remained for Republican

place in the executive chair man to whose
garments taint is attached taint that
will remit his name and that of those who
have supported him to eternal infamy.
Without the intervention of the federal
power it would not have been possible to SO
frustrate the will of the people as to
place Mr.. Hayes in the Presi-
Dental Office. To remove SO danger
Gus power is the present purpose of the
Democrats. They have declared that the

the States to regulate and control elections
shall not be infringed. 1t has been found nee

might be used to deprive the citizen of his

1T's none of our funeral, but perhaps the
GLOBE will be permitted to suggest to the
Republicans in the House that little more
attention to the law and the facts in the
pending discussion upon the political issues
involved, and less to the part played by the
people of tho South in the past, would give
more satisfaction to the general public. The
people know that there was rebellion
against the duly constituted government of
the country, and that the South engaged in
that rebellion almost on masse. They also
know that that rebellion was crushed four
teen years ago, and that the participants,
having acknowledged their error, have, with
few notable exceptions, been received back
into the confederacy of States, and are to-
day under the law, in the enjoyment of all
the rights accorded any American citizen.
Such being the case, the great majority of
the people propose to judge them by their
acts now, instead OF by what they did in the
sixties, and when the excitement of debate is
over, the measures in issue will be judged
upon5their merits and not upon the basis of
whether the men supporting or opposing
them wore the Union blue or Confederate
grey. Such being the case, if the Republic
cans desire to make lasting impression
upon the public mind, they will promptly
discard the bloody shirt and treat the ques-
tions raised as affected by the law and the
facts

Some Reasons Why Bm1ord Didn't Meet


HIS Fatc Promptly o., tho Assassination


Of Judge Elliott.


Frankfort Special to Louisville Courier


Journal.


When Tom Buford firod the shot that
took the life of member of the supreme
court of the commonwealth of Kentucky,
and fired the shot because of an official act
of that judicial officer, all Frankfort, to use
the words of a distinguished citizen, was
"paralyzsd" by the enormity of the deed and
the manner of it's accomplishment. TO that
mental shock of the public mind and the
prompt act of an officer in hurrying the as
sassin to jail, Tom Buford probably owes
the continuance of miserable existence.


Had one voice broken the spell by calling
for vengeance, spontaneous outburst of
passion would have led to the tearing asunder
of the cold-blooded murderer, and to the
scattering of his carcass as food for dogs.
Happily for the already outraged law, when
the reaction came the criminal was beyond
the reach of an unorganized fury, and cooler
heads we're taking precautions to thwart any
plans of a concerted assault. Quick, as
though fire-bells had called them, an excited
throng of angry people poured into and filled
up st. Clair street, in the nelghborhood of
the jail, and while there we're but few open
threats made, it required but casual OBJ
server to read in eyes too hot for tears the
one wish of the people. County Judge
Thompson ordered Sheriff Williams ian old
school-mate and lifelong friend of the MUIR
dered man) to summon q posse for the pro-
lection of the murderer, and when darkness,
under whose cover mobs, like over beasts of
IL oh
over the scene and passion became rampant,
Gov. McCreary mingled with the mass, and
with earnest appeals and sober reasoning
sought to dissuade them from their purpose
of vindicating the law by lawless means.
There were no noisy demonstrations, the
Governor being accorded a respectful atten-
ton and courteous treatment. The coolest
heads considered the precautions taken suf-
fcient to prevent any attempt at violence,
but the Governor, in the abundance of his
caution, had instructed the peace officers to
call for the militia if there was any donbt
about the matter and soon after dark the
call was made, and thirty-fve members Of
the McCreary guards, under the command OF
Capt. Ed. Taylor, were Stationed around the
Jail. This action on the part of the author
tiles elected some unfavorable comment, but
severe storm of wind and rain came up
about 9 o'clock, and the crowd scattered to
collect no more. At no time could the as
semblage properly be termed mob, but the
friction of 80 many excited minds, if allowed
to continue uninterrupted, would have
worked up frenzy disastrous In the end
Under the aggravating circumstances attend
Ing this most unprovoked and, considering
its deleterious effects upon the interests Of
the people of the whole State, most disas-
trous crime in the annals of the American
people, the citizens of Frankfort deserve
much credit for the forbearance and self
control which saved them and this State an
other stain.

AN UNKNOWN MAN KILLED.


Our usually quiet town has undergone an
unusual degree of excitement in the last
few days. Early on Wednesday morning,
it WAS rumored that a man had been killed.
The rumOr proved true. A person sup
posed to be of the tramp persuasion was
discovered by the eng gineer of one of the
night trains, lying in front of his engine,
near the water plug at this place. Upon
examination, he was found to he literally
ground up, his legs and arms being torn
from his body. Portions of the body were
carried nearly a hundred yards along the
track from where he was struck. Justice
AbrahamS, in the absence of the coroner,
held AN inquest, and a verdict of accidental
death was rendered He was about IL or 20
years of age, sandy hair, light complexion,
smooth face, and tolerably well dressed and
was probably travelling eastward MS his hat
was purchased of a Washington firm. The
only marks about his person by which tn
identify him was the partly oblittrated
name of j. l.. or l. :. Fenton There was
no money or other valuables on his person.
He was buried on the Company's ground 1T
this place. And thus ended the career of
some mothers boy, though only a poor
tramp.

From the course hitherto pursued by
the present Legislature there is no ren-
son To expect that in the few days Of
the session which yet remain they will
do anything that they ought to do par
ticularly il there is any money in not
doing it.


1t appears that the bill affixing q

State officers according to law has not
yet been passed. but is pigeon -holed
somewhere.


The fear that they will fail to do

We have received q copy OF the bill
introduced in the Assembly by Mr..
Beard in which it is proposed to in
troduce the Bell Punch license system,
regulating the sale Of liquor. In this
State instead OF the license system now
in force.


We are of the opinion that public
sentiment in this country is opposed
to any change IN the existing law on
this subject which will make it any
2loro burdensome on the dealer aud
consumer. but We also believe that the
proposed system is superior to the
present one and should be adopted pro-
Nidr,l the law shall be 30 framed as to
make the expense to the dealer and the
revenue to the State about the same as
1t is under the present law.


We believe that the law il adopted
in the form above indicated would give
general satisfacti on.


II recommends itself to the dealers
because it systematizes his business.
affords an efficient check on dishonest
employers, aud requires him to pay
sum directly in proportion to the
amount Of business he does.


The bill requires the dealer to give
bonds for the payment Of the tax which
would insure the State against the many
delirquencies in the payment of license
that occur under the present law.


The law from which the bill under
consideration. Is to large extent cop
led has been in operation in the State
OF Virginia for several years. and the
system meets with universal APPRECIATION
there. Tie only otj-c,ion ever raised
against il after il had been tested was
because its provisions imposed greater
burdens on dealers and consumers than
the law previously in operation. but
the system rs before stated is approved
by all classes.
