BALTIMORE.

BALTIMORE, August 25.-The prize
fight took place on Traver's Island,
Northumberland county, Virginia. The
men made their appearance in the ring
at seven minutes past ten o'clock, and
after some delay in choosing referee
and ring-keeper, time was called
for the first round Neither Of the men
we're in condition to fight, both being
under their proper weight, Collyer going
into the ring at 1913 pounds, and Ed
wards at l3l pounds. The fight was
stoutly and stubbornly contested,
and on both sides the betting
was about even, the friends of each
man urging his claims most vocifer-
ously. The fight lasted one hour and
fourteen minutes. In the forty seventh
round Edwards struck Collier blow on
the jugular which knocked him outof time
rendering him senseless for over fifteen
misutes. Both parties show signs of
severe punishment, although Edwards
walked the beach unsupported and would
allow none to assist him on board the
steamer.

No stronger evidence of the despera-
ton Of the Radicals is needed than their
attempt to tamper with the Southern
electoral votes. The carpet bsggers are
now urging the Georgia Legislature to
choose electors for the President, but
private advices from reliable sources say
the Legislature will refuse. Other dis
reputable politicians Of the same class
have appealed to Gov. Smith, Of Ala
bama, 10 call an extra session Of the
Legislature to put through an enactment
TO continue the carpet bsggers IN Con-
gress for another term.
This is to foresisll an election BY the
people who will return an entire Demo-
cratic delegation. II is understood that
Smith declines making tool Of himself
for such base uses. sope Radicals have
even suggested the propriety OF the

doubtful, Of eleciiug electors by their
Legislatures. Its. Of course, silly idea.
