bic time for the grand demonstrations Of

parations. The leaders were evidently de-
sirous OF avoiding disturbances, aud the

formed. At ) z. M. both parties met III

ried to their houses, but the fight was kept
up from the windows and house-tops, the

Hon. John Lemon, the Republican candi-
date for judge, was the first killed. The
balance OF the killed and wounded were
mostly MeXicans.

thing is being done to preserve the peace.

The French Indemnity Claim

New YORK, Sept. 4.-The Tribune says :
"The alacrity with which the French have
paid up the whole Of the indemnity due on
or before May 1st, 1872, is explained by our
Berlin correspondent. 1t appears that the
negotiations for the evacuation OF France
by the Germans were complicated by the
question of admitting German manutac-
lures to France free of duty. after Septem-
Der the 1st at which date the agreed ar
raneement for passing such goods duty
free expired. The French we're offered a
sDeedier withdrawal of the German troops
if these privileges were continued;, but
they are now ia Il condition to demand the
evacuation as o night under the treaty OF
