The Stevart-Vandiver Fight.

1t has teen a question whether or no
Vandiver, of Boone, fought and whipped
Gov. Stewart; but is no longer a question
now, as will be seen by The following cards

Fulton Telegraph" who was charged
with originating the story about the fight:
CAPT. vANpIvER's STATEMENT.
EUREKA, Boone County, June II, SO.
J.G. PRovINEs-Dear Sir: Having been
requested by you TO Make correct State
men. Of difficulty which occurred between
myself and Governor Stewart, do so very
reluctantly, believing that the matter can
possibly terminate in no glory, benefit, or
profit 10 me, but is rather source Of re-
greet and annoyance. While in Jefferson City,
some three weeks ago, | entered house
known as Smidt's Beer Saloon, and there
met Gov. Stewart. In the course Of a con-
versation with him, spoke Of the pardon
of o Blennis. and charged that he (Stewart)
had secured American votes in St. Louis
on promise of pardon TO O'Blenns, pro-
vlded he was elected. This Stewart pro-
nounced a damned ie," when | struck
him, knocking him down, and afterwards
struck him several times until pulled of by
the bys,anders. We then washed our
faces and hands, made friends, and conclu-
ded to keep the difficulty secret. But if
has been told by some one, not by me,
and feel at liberty, in as much as you have
been assailcd, TO give the facts.
Stewart was very drunk, snd | was my
self drinking. Respectfully.
A. L. VANDIVER.
MR.. PREBBLE's STATEMENT.
Nh. PRovISEs-Sir: was shown copy
Of the Jefferson Examiner, few days
since, in which the statement that Gov.
Stewart and Capt. Vandiver, of our county,
had fight, is denied. was in Jefferson
with Capt. Vandver some two or three
weeks ago; went with him into a dram
shop, found some men drinking, among
them, one whom they called the Governor.
He and Vandiver got into dispute, first
about The pardon of Langston, and then that
of o 'Blennis. Stewart, as well as he cold I'M
der the circumstances, gave bis reasons in
both cases. Vandiver charged that Stew
art had made pledges TO the friends Of o.
Blennis in ST. Louis, before the election,
that if elected. he would turn him co.
Blennis) out, by which he got six hundred
American votes in 81. Louis. Stewart
pronounced it damned lis," upon which
Vandiver struck him; fight ensued, in
which Vandiver had the better, when no
was taken off. They washed, drank, made
friends, and shook hands. | thought it
only little drunken spree, as Stewart was
evidently drunk, and Vandiver was drink
ing. Respectfully. yours,
HENRY r. PREBBLE.

CRIMINAL CoUET.-Hon. Henry Stump, Judge.
Milton Whitney, Esq, States Attorney, prose
cutting; Z. Mclean and 7. Joseph Rogers, Esqs, for
the defence
State rs. John Stephens alias Cyphus (negro) in
dicted for the murder of VIM. II. King (negro) on
the night of the 2lst of August last, by stabbing
him with knife in the left side of the breast
1t was the intention of the counsel for the defence
yesterday morning to examine a witness named
Mary Ann Dorsey, but on being called she did not
appear. Mr.. Rogers then stated to the Court that
the defence expected to prove some facts by this
witness, but as she was not present, they desired,
with the Courts leave, to recall a witness who had
been examined on Tuesday, and by whom they had
just learned they would be able to prove these facts.
The Court declined to accede to the request of the
counsel for the Defence stating that after the wit
nesses had been discharged, they could not be re-
examined, it contrary to the rules.
Mr.. Whitney, for the State, then opened the case
before the jury, stating that although the indictment
charges the offence as having been committed the
twentytrst day of August, it actually occurred on
Thursday, the nineteenth day of that month, and
that this did not invadate the indictment, as
the murder is alleged to have been committed ante
rior to the date of the indictment. Mr.. Whitney
then explained the law as applicable to the un-
der consideration, and examined and sifted the tes
timony both for the State and the defence, and
asked the jury to render verdict of guilty of MUIR
der in the first degree. At u O'Clock Mr.. Whitney
concluded his argument, and was followed on the
part of the defence by Messrs. Mclean and Rogers
1t being O'Clock when Mr.. Rogers concluded his

THE OVERLAND MAIL

Inc {. Louis Democrat
The Overland Mail which left San Francisco on
the 9th ut., arrived in this city Saturday nigh t..
No papers were brought by the mail, and but few
letters. The few papers in possession Of the pas
sengers when the stage left San Francisco were dis
tributcd along the route.
In conversation with Mr. W. II. Hilton, a pas
senger by this mail, learn that through Califor
MIA and Arkansas the arrangements complete,
but on the plains are as yet incomplete. The com
pany, however, are rapidly filling up every deti-
cheney in the way of men and mules. Mr.. Hilton
thinks that the trip will be made inside of twenty
days. with great ease, when once the company gets
everything fairly under way. He considers the
route decidedly favorable and in all respects safe
and pleasant.
Some of the stations are sixty-fve miles apart;
but most of them are from eight to ten miles On
the plains the corrals are either of logt tone and
occupied, some by dozen men and some by no
more than four or five. The stage was detained
fourteen hours by sand storm in the California
Desert, and two days by reason of high water in
Kern river at the point of crossing which the ferry
fiat was out of repair, which supplied speed
lily as possible.
The company are making preparations to bridge
the various streams that cross the road, and have
already engaged large number OF men for instant
work.
Adobes, or Mexican brick, are used in the con-
struction of station houses along the route, and in
many places workmen are engaged in making
roads.
Mr. Hilton was provided with canteen as also
the want of which he thus preserved.
The mails from ST. Louis bound westward were
far enough advanced to justify belief that they
would reach San Francisco in due time.
WHOLESALE INDICTMENT OF Ex-CIrY OFFICIALS

sumcd new phase, and is now being tried before
Justice Haines in the Supreme Court Circuit
Nearly threo weeks have been occupied in hearing
