was in excellent taste, and did great credit
to the people of San Francisco.
New York will spend thousands in re-

have good effect in cementiDg the kindly

The journals of the country are full Of the
disgusting details of the recent pugllistic
encounter in Surry, England. between the
''Benecia Boy" representative Of the A
merican Eagle, and Tom Sayers, champion
Of the British lion. This display of muscle
and brutality seems to have absorbed all
other questions. The Congress of the U.

iations are forgotten the Charleston Con-
vention is scarcely alluded to-the Japan
csc Embassy is ignored even the Covode
Corruption Committee has lost it's interest
and all this has been brought about by
the Intense excitement Of christian people
over prize fight between two trained bull

The idea that the entire business Of a

Can these men have a truer regard for the
interests of the South than Virginians them
selves? In short, the essence Of the whole
of this disturbance and reb ellion is opposi-
ton to Judge Douglas. Bigler, Bright,
and Slldell are here, scheming and plotting
for the defeat of Douglas, aud nothing, how
ever dishonorable and humiliating to the
sense of gentlemen. is left undone to effect
that end. Were Douglas out Of the way.
