The Extinction Of Slavery.

The Richmond Wig, lately resurrected,
says
The extinction of slavery in all the South
ern States is e fixed and irreyersible faet--a
fact which the manly Understandings and
honest hearts of our people should accept and
act upon without hesitation and without
murmuring.
There are some oVer-sanguine and unre-
fecting persons in our midst, who still cling
to the delusion that slavery is not abolished
lis not efiectually and forever dead. But
why take pains thus to deceive themselves
in reference to this NATTER Have they eyes.
and see not? Have they ears, and hear notI
No matter how the thing was brought about,
whether by constitutional or arbitrary means,
it is the part of wisdom and common sense to
admit the fact as it is, and shape our conduct
accordingly. Slavery is not only dead,
throughout the South, but there is no posi-
BILE hope of its resurrection.

Riot at Hudson, N. Y.-The city In
vsded by q Gang OF Albany Ruff

HUDSON, N. Y, July 26.-This city was
visited yesterday by gang Of roughs and
thieves, who accompanied the excursion Of
the Emmett Guard from Albany.
The scoundrels spread all over the city,
robbing and knocking down the citizens to
their hearts content. For long time they
kept this up, for there was no one to make
them afraid
When starting TO return to the boat they
commenced n series of the most brutal and
devilish outrages, and still they were allowed
to have their way.
The saloons and drinking places in tho
city were completely cleaned out, and their
occupants abused in the most shameful
manner
Over three thousand persons accompanied
the excursion, over one hundred Of whom
were the very worst species Of "roughs.n
Many persons were robbed Of their watches,
money, and other valuables.
Prospect Hill was covered with men, wo-
men and children, who had boen driven from
their homes and compelled to fly for their
lives. n.
Only six arrests were made, and these were
let Of to-day with light fine.
The whole affair was one Of the greatest
outrages ever perpetrated upon q law-and.
order-loving community. How long such
dastardly outrages are to be tolerated with
patiencesremains to be seen.
The rutfians amused themselves by firing
stones, reyolvers, and guns at the people,
varying this order Of things occasionally by
striking them with clubs, fists, and maltreat'
ting them in various other ways. Leader
balls few like hailstoncs. "Roughdom' y
held, in fact, a perfect carnival.
A young man named Race, Of Hudson wa
shot in the leg.
| A boy named Berry had his arm broken.
Another boy was badly beaten over the
head with q club.
Officer Jalspaugh, aged seventy years, wal
pounded almost into jelly.
Many other persons were badly injured
| and beaten.

The President and Gov. Browniow.
The following is the dispatch from Prssi-
dent johnson to Gov. Brownlow in regard to
sustaining the State laws and constitution:
wAmSeroS, July 20, 1885.
Hon. w. q. Brotcn loo:
i hope and have no doubt you will see that
the recent amendments to the constitution OF
the State as adopted by the people, and oil
laws passed by the last Legislature in pur-
suance thereof are faithfully and fairly exc
cuted, and that all illegal votes in the ap-
preaching election be excluded from the
polls, and the election for members Of Con-
gress be legally and fairly conducted. When
and wherever Il becomes necessary to en-.
ploy force for the execution Of the laws and
the protection Of the ballot-box from violence
and fraud, you are authorized TO call upon
Mai. Gen. Thomas for sufficient military
force to sustain the civil authorities Of the
State. have received your recent address
to the people, and think II well.timed, and
hope 1t will do much good in reconciling the
opposition to the amendment Of the constitu.
tion and laws passed by the last Legislature.
The law must be executed and the civil au-
thority sustained. In your efforts to do this,
if necessary, Gen. Thomas will afford sum
cient military force. You are at liberty to
make what use you think proper Of this dis
patch. AsDREw Johnson
President Of the United States.

"a MILL" POsTPONED.-Accordin to
previous understanding among the fancy, -
some forty or fifty persons assembled yester-
day morning at the Fairfield race course to
witness n "mill' between two noted pugl-
ists-one of them hailing from Henrieo
county, but well known in Richmond, and
the other from Baltimore or New York city,
we don't know which. At nine O'Clock, the
appointed hour, both parties arrived on the
ground, but the fight did not take place,
The New York man claimed to be sick, and
asked postpOnement for few days, when
he thought he would be in u condition to
"come to time" which request was agreed
to, and the crowd thereupon returned to the
city.
Different from the generality Of prize fights,
TINS one is not gotten up for wager OF
money, but in order to wipe out an indig-
NIFTY which each conceives that the other has
offered him We learn, however, that a
number OF outside bets have been made upon
the issue by the friends Of the two rgspec.
tive parties, Times, 25.
