curious aud hall incre1ulous crowd, to see
the females who still walked vigorously on
the platform raised FIR their pedestrian feat.
The match cyumepced Mt IL o'clock, noon,

would win tie prize. But Flora seemed to
gain strength as the contest proceeded and
last evening both parties appeared 10 nee
order. Notwithstanding they had been %

A majority of the persons present bad
cigars in their mouths, and pulled away as
though no females were in the room. The
pedestrians complained OF this "a ungentle-

tread. Flora took Of her boots, aud walked
in her striped stockings. Both said they fell.

that trials for crimes must take place as the
law prescribes, and tine State has 40 interest
in preserving the lives and liberties Of its

them. If a deficiency of one juror could be
allowed, a deficiency of eleven might also

The Richmond South enters a most en-
phstic protest against the course of tho Ad-
ADMINISTRATION in removing Democratic Office
holders in Illinois. because they are in favor
of Douglas. 1t declares that "the result Of
ths recent elections 10 the North attests the
folly of the feud between Judge Douglas and
the Administration, aud the uncertainty OF
tina i,soe in New York and Illinois warrants
an appreheosion that the unfortunate contro-
yerey lie still pregoaut with disaster to the
Democracy" aud then it concludes as follows;
