A BLOODY FIGHT.-John Gallagher, of
Cairo, CIll.), said to be a hard working,
peaceable man, discovered that his wife was
about to elope with the Waterman of steamer
and applied to Judge Cochran for advice.
The Judge counseled him to take his child
and let the unworthy woman go, when he
concluded to do so. His wife heard of it,
and engaged a man named Mcpherson to
assist her in retaining the child. Gallagher,
after taking away his baggage, returned for
the child, and was ordered by Mcpherson to
let it be, or he would be cut in pieces, but he
paid no heed to the threat and started off
with the child. Mcpherson followed and
plunged knife into him just above the
heart, when Gallagher shot Mcpherson three
times with revolver once in the arm and
twice in the back. The latter knocked Gala
CHER into the river, but he got ashore, and
both parties drawing their knifes, went at
each other. They fought full tee minutes,
lacerating each other dreadfully. A number
of bystanders looked on. and were so terrified
that none dared to interfere. Among the OBJ
servers was Mrs. Gallagher, who looked
cody upon the whole transaction without
evincing the least emotion. The bloody con-
test was at last ended. Gallagher succeeded
in plunging his knife clear through McPher-
sons heart, and he fell at his feet dead
man, without even uttering groan. Gal
lagher was taken into custody. He is cut and
hacked dreadiully, and his recovery is con
sidered doubtful Boston Journal.

The MINNESOTA ELECTION. - The Chicago
Tribune Of Sth inst. has intelligence of Repub-
lican victory in Minnesota. Previous reports
gave the election to the Democrats. The Tn
buse says it has seen Mr.. Hanscomb Of Boston,
who has been on an excursion to Minnesota for
a few weeks past, and left st. Paul on the 4th
inst. He arrived in Chicago on Saturday, and
brings later news than any heretofore received
He says that the Republicans have elected So
delegates and the Democrats 46, leaving four in
doubt, which secures reliable working majority
IN the hands of the Republicans. This is most
glorious news, and better than we anticipated, in
the face of the tremendous frauds perpetrated by
the Democrats.

KANzAs-The Leavenworth correspondent of
the Chicago Tribune communicates the following
plan for entrapping the free State men, which is
generally supposed to have originated with Gov.
Walker -
The plot is this A letter has made its ap.
Pearance IN different portions Of the territory ad-
dressed TO Walker asking him TO favor the people
Win MS opinion on the conflicting sections of the
negistersAc lsections and III Of which have
heretofore spoken.
Section provided tAat no person shall vote
unless his name appears on the register LIST xyb;ie
p section III provided that any American citizen
may vote, il he has resided in a town or comfy
for three months previous to election
II is expected that Gov. Walker will favor the
three.monih qualification, and that the Free State
will thus be induced to vote for constitution
al delegates, notwithstanding the dastardly ap-
portonment that Stanton has made, and which
must govern the election.
Again. it is proposed that new conventions for
nominating delegates be held, and tickets made
up of an equal number Of members from both
sides or parties.
i But the free State men cannot and will not be
deceived by any such subtle working II they
are nominated for delegates, they viii instantly
resign, and in no event will they deviate from
the policy on which they have determined, and
y participate in the bogus convention.
4 - There is some difference of opinion in the free
20 State party to what line OF policy it is best
TO pursue. But am inclined to believe that
these divisions and varying sentiments will all be
harmonised.1
