FIGHrIsG Fos OFFIcE--A most disgracsful
and degrading scene took place in the Union
County Convention at the Capital Of our
State, IN the Assembly Chamber, on Weines.
day last, between what they term long hairs
and short hairs 1t was simply fight for
Office. What Uaion patriots n Wha, gen
tlemen have We il cur capital city! Bloody
noses, cracked pates. black eyes. and added
whisky brain were worn by the delegates OF
that honorable body white shirt collars
wilted by tobacco juice, and fine clothes
streaked and torn. \ Digger fandaugo, in
m1ss, bespattering each other with acorn soup
is more respectable, than the disgraceful scenes
delegates were dangerously Injured. Shortly
after the wounded was taken from the field
and the nerves of the excited quieied, the very
important question was discussed, as TO who
struck the first blow" the Longs or the
Shorts. The next was. who struck Billy Pat
tersou? The hairs" then divided, the Shorts
remaining in the Assembly Chamber, the
Lougs going to Turn Verein Hall, and the
wounded to the care of nurses and physicians.
Hostilities ceased and two conventions were
had. So much for the foolish hair aspirants.
The Sacramento Union is disposed to throw
all the blame of this bloody row on the Short
Hairs or Low, Conuess delegates. The Bee
in speaking of the matter, repudiates the i'm
plication Of Conness and Low as follows:
I'VE deem the two gentlemen accused Of
leadership in the matter incapable OF such con-
duet There is nothing 10 their past public
lives to give even plausiblity to such suspicion
Both are law abiding men. Both occupy hon
orable positions. Both desire the good opin-
ion of the people who have thus honored them;
and not until We consider them not only unfit
for the stations they occupy but as disgraced
forever ID the estimation OF all good and order
loving people, can we think them capable of
the deep infamy thus charged"

The Burning Of cities.

the surrender of Charleston, it says o. ~ q. o.
"The city was fred in several places, and
1t was Judged that two,thirds of it, would be
utterly Destroyed before the progress Of The
flames could be stayed. Why loyal soldiers
should have been set to the task OF checking

The idea OF utterly destroying Charleston
-blotting It out and strewingit with SALTS
not original with the editor of the Journal,
