opposition, perhaps, has kept sickness

mas been preserved in the face Of the
most utter disregard Of sanitary precau-

purity, and vegetation, green and rank,

Of fetjd water, the rcceptacles of dead
animals and the sweepings of the levee,
are scattered overbatturc property, reek-

localities citizens are compelled to close
their doors and windows, endure want
of ventilation and the excessive heat Of
the summer nights, that the noisome
smells from the streets be excluded.
Branches of the city, as well as OF the

by imbecility, corruption, fraud or vio-

In case an assembly of the qualified

quired by law to withhold from that

readily understood from the Sections pre-

that there can beno Capitation Tax levied

Districts which have already levied this

I DUBLIN: September 4.-There was
fierce fighting all night. The police
were driven to their barracks, but re-
ceiyed reinforcements and charged the
crowd desperately. They were driven
into the barracks again. The sally was
repeated several times, but with the
same result. A bar of iron which was
thrown from public house at the
police. led to the storming OF the house,
and, capturing its inmates, an attempt
was made to rescue them by the mob.
In the battle which followed the house
was completely,wrecked by the mob in
it's frantic rage. Half of the policemen
engaged in the atfrays were injured.
Prisoners sang national songs all night.
There is great excitement, and it is in

SANTE FE, September 3.-The Post, OF
Yesterday, had the following correspon-
dence from the Iarnsella election: "The
excitement in this village eliminated to-
day in the worst affray ever witnessed
here. 1t is nc exaggeration to say that
the plaza has been literally drenched
with human blood. Atthe present wri-
ting Sunday syening, 27th), is known
that seven parsons have been killed,
while it is estimated that the wounded
will reach as high as thirty-seven or
eightof whom are fatally injured. From
5 this afternoon till 8, the plaza resound-
ed with pistol shot and groans. For Is
minutes the firing was incessant, and
continued during the rest of the hour.
The Republican and Democratic parties
had each .selected to-day as the most
suitable time for the grand demonstra-
ton of the campaign. and at an early
hour this morning both parties commen-
ced their preparations. The leaders were
evidently desirous of avoiding distur-
Dances. The respective parties, formed
in procession and passed each others
place of meeting without any outbreak
Nothing happened until the meeting had
adjourned. AT 5p. M, both parties me-
in the plaza, when pistol shot wa;
fired, whereupon ageneral fight htoccurred
Men, women and children hurried tt
their houses, but the fight was kept W
from windows and houses, the dead ant
wounded falling on all sides. Hon
John Lemon. Republican candidate TO
Judge, was the first killed; the killed
and wounded are mostly Mexicans. An
other fight took place at Antorichico
| near Losvegas, in which two persons
were killed and six or seven wounded
