GENERAL CARNAHAN’S PLASTER.

Anderson Demoorar: Gen. Ja-nes B. Carnahan, a prominent and distinguished .Republican boss of Lidianapolis, returned from Washington, where he had been a prominent ure in the great national drill, to receive an indictment plaster, prepared by a Republican Committee of One Hundred, a Republican United States Judge and a Republican Grand Jury. The General realizes th.it the plaster stings like mustard ot Spanish flies- It don’t suit his Republican eutiele at ail. It blisters like fire, and eats like vitriol. But 'he General can’t shake it off It eticks. The General pleads innocence, pleads duty, pleads h nesty. ploads that he suspected somebody, but the plaster sticks, and draws, and blisters, and burns, and sats. Possibly General Carnahan derives consolation from the columns of the Journal, and banquets the Committee of Ona Hundred, an i Invites the Judge and Grand Jury to his house to dine and tea; perhaps he does. 1 at it is more likely that he ge s up on h’s hind legs and pours out a lava tide of big cuss words, strongly impregnated with Sulphur. Any way, th) G**ie ral has to wear the plaster rir ht on the place where he carries his Republican con-, science. Peitksylvania Labor Oppressors The reports from Hazleton.
