A BLOODY FIGHT IN NEvADA.-The Virgins
City Nevada) Enterprise, of February 18th has al
account of a terrible hand to hand conflict between
one Tom Peasly, native of New York, and Mari
Barnhart, of Indiana, which occurred in Carson
City, the capital of the State. 1t appears, by the
testimony of bystanders, that Barnhart who had
an old grievance against Peasely, went up to him
as lie sat by the stove of the Hotel bar-room ant
said Why didn't you fight me last year at the
Glenbrook House 2" Peasy hesitated moment and
then replied 81 don't know; are you always on the
fight ~ Barnhart assuming erect position, said
Yes" and drawing his revolver, levelled it al
Peasly, who moved his head to side very
quickly, and exclaimed You don't want to mur.
der me, do you" The response was a bullet through
the breast. As Peasly rose he received second
ball but clnching his arm to his breast he sprung
forward, selling his opponent by the knees, who, in
the meanwhile, pounded him with the butt of his
pistol. A desperate struggle ensued which was
finally transferred to the adjacent room Here the
two were separated, Peasely being nearly dead will
loss of blood having been shOttwce. while his brain
reeed from the blows on his head. Presently, how
ever the wounded man seemed to regain his strength
Rising to his feet, he suddenly turned on Barnhar
and discharged several shots from a revolver that
had hitherto been concealed. Both men then fe
gasping. They died in few minutes.

The CHOLERA STEAMER ENGLAND.-The Halifax
Sun of Friday last says that there has not been so
much caution exercised to prevent the spread of the
plague from the steamship England as ought to have
been and that beds and rubbish thrown from the
ship have drifted shore. Parts of collins have been
seen by fishermen floating about, although, since
the ship has been quarantined no bodies have been
thrown overheard. A burial party of men remain
on shore and flag is hoisted on board when. a
corpse awaits burial. The coffin is hung over the
side the boat puts of, the coffin is lowered into the
boat it is taken ashore and consigned to a deep
trench. n series of which is prepared on the beach,
letter from one of the medical gentlemen on board
says: "All the passengers are off the England
some on the island and some on board the pyra-
mus, which has been turned into a hospital ship"
Thursday night there six deaths on the island
on board the Pyramus, six bodies were carried up
before Q P. NJ, and on Friday morning twelve
were dead and fifteen reported dying. The writer
says such a state of dirt disease and misery, the
passengers are in, one could believe without
seeing il.

The strike of the New York car drivers still con-
tinues. Neither the employers nor the employed
seem willing to make any concessions whatever.
New drivers are being employed by the companies,
but so many threats are made against them by the
strikers that few can be induced to do full days
work. 1t requires almost the entire police force of
the city to keep the peace in the vicinity OF the rail-
road depots and along the various routes and the
companies dare not attempt to run their cars at
night.

Street-Shootinp.

The custom of settling personal difficulties
in the streets and other public places appears
TO have become an established one IN this
city. In the last few years various occur
rences of this sort have taken place in thickly
crowded thoroughfares at the imminent hazard
of the lives of innocent men, women and chill
dren. For this barbarOus, reckless and crimi-
man who seeks an adversary in such resorts,
firing upon him to the imminent peril of all
passers-by, of persons in their stores, families
in the rooms above, aud children playing in the
vicinity, deserves to be shot down by every
good citizen Just as he would shoot mad dog.
1t is not only a dangerous, but it is scanda-
lous and disgraceful practice. 1t is fast bring
ing upon this once orderly and quiet city an
's evil name and fame" The world will come
to regard our citizens as barbarians, and our
beautiful city as no better than den of wild
beasts.
In all such cases, the EXTREMIST penalties OF
the law should be inflicted. No favor, no
consideration should be shown. Every such
offender. no matter who he may be, should be
dealt with in the most summary and stringent
manner. If men are determined to shoot one
another, they should be compelled to choose
some other place than our thorOughfares.-
These constant outrages upon decency and
good order have become uncomfortable. There
is universal complaint and condemnation of
them, and of the parties engaged in them
The brutal disregard of public decency and
human life which they evince has not only
disguised but exasperated this whole commu-
nil

Correspondence of the Baltimore Sun


WASHINGTON. April 19-The Presidents address
to the soldiers and sailors is very unpaatabe to the
republican majority in Congress 1t is direct ap-
peal to the people from the Judgment of Congress,
and places before the country his own policy of
toration in very striking and favorable light. The
speech is hopeful and will serve TO inspire the people
with entire confidence in the early solution of all our
remaining difficulties.
The objections which are made in some quarters
to the views of Mr.. A. II. Stephens, presented in
his evidence before the committee of Congress- are
founded entirely the assumption that the extern
sion of suffrage to all the blacks is TO be the condi
ton of restoration. Upon the statements and avow
ais of Mr. Stephens, Southern representation will
be admitted by the radical faction. II is important
therefore, to know how strong that faction is in
Congress- It is apparent that has lost ground since
the organization of Congress. II is neither fierce
nor so clamorous nor so confident now, as it was
when the House first passed the District negro suf
frage bill At time the imposition Of negro suf-
frage on the eleven Southern States was the test of
Northern loyalty, But it is believed by close obser-
vers that not more than sixty members of the House
are now disposed to make negro suffrage the cOndi
ton, sine qua non, of Southern representation.
The committee on reconstruction have before them
several projects of restoration, the most prominent
of which are those proposed by Mr.. Grimes, Mr..
Stewart, and Mr.. Lane of Kansas. The las. named
plan based upon tho Presidents teleeraphc letter
to Gov. Sharkey but is not vOuched for as being
now advised by the President 1t was to State ac-
ton not congressional that the President looked
Congress- at this session, will do nothing on the sub
ject. loTA.

THE FREEDNEN's BUREAU.-The executor OF
the estate of John S. Heron lately applied to
the United States Circuit Court of the District
of West Tennessee, for an injunction against
Gen. B. P. Runkle, Superintendent of the
Freedmen's Bureau to restrain him from en-
forcing upon the personal property ofthe estate
Judgment in favor of freedman. Judge
Trigg decided that the Feedmen's Bureau was
a war measure, unknown to the laws; the ex-
ercise of military power, which ceased with
the end of the war that the tribunals it set up
could not be recognized as courts in the legal
sense, and that however valid their judgments
or DEGREES may have been duringthe war, or by
whatever right they may have been enforced
as war measures, the termination of the war
abrogated the courts created by it, and that
the recent proclamation of the President of the
United States, declaring that an insurrection
no longer exists, is declaration of peace, which
sweeps from among us everything which savors
of military constraint upon the rights of citizens,
and restores to them the ordinary and peaceful
channels for the assertion and enforcement Of
those rights.

The reform agitation continued in England. The
events of the week have been demonstrations at Llv-
erpool in honor of Gladstone.
Mr. Gladstone made two brilliant speeches, EN-
phatically declaring that the Government would
stand or fall upon the question. He warmly eulo-
gzed America and pointed to the results OF the late
war as proof of the benefits resulting from trust
in the people, and commended that England should
learn lesson from II.
Mr. Gladstone severely denounced the Fenian de-
signs against innocent British colonies, and said if
they carried out their diabocal threats, the whole
power of England would assist the colonies in de-
fence.
Cyrus Field returned in the Persia.
Prussian relations remained unchanged. Prussia
is reported to have continued in an uncOmpromising
attitude.
The Emperor of Russia it is reported, has sent
two notes to the SOyereigns rendering mediation.
LIVERPOOL, april i-ENeulng.-lH e IdIlS uiOHt-
teur confirms the statement that the mission of Ba-
ron Saillard had been successful, and that arrange
ments for the reduction of the French troops had
been made 1t is hoped the arrangement will graft
fy the Washington Government.
RumOrs of ministerial changes are current at
Paris.
LATEST TELEGRAM TO QUEENSTOWN.
LIVERPOOL, April SIT is expected the Govern.
ment majority on the Reform Bill will exceed
twenty.
The Paris correspondent of the Observer says
France intends occupying Vera Cruz, Tampco and
other principal ports as a guaranty for the expenses
of the expedition, and as n security for French COM
mercial interests.
The Prussan reply to the Austrian note created
very unfavOrable impression in Paris
Brokers' circular says the authorized quotations
are: New Orleans fair, 205 middings, 49,; Mobile
fair, 19i; middlings, ISL; uplands fair, l91 mid
dings, 49, Texas fair, 90; Texas middlings, 49,.
Political excitement on the German question runs
high in Paris, and it is positively reasserted that
France is quietly getting army of observation to-
gether and Strengthening her garrisons.
The minor German States were arming.
Count Bismark is said to have declared the pac-
c declaration of Count KarOlye on the part of Aus
tria insufficient, and Prussia will continue her
maments. Another statement says he briefly replied
to Karolye's note justifying the movements of
Prussia by those of Austria, but repudiating any
idea of attacking Austria.
