EFFECTS OF DRUNK ENNEss.
A Lady i'm High Life the Victim.

Yesterday afternoon gentleman liv
ing in an aristocratic portion of Second
street set out to search for his wife, who
had been absent from home since Satur
day. Going into the row of huts located
between Walnut and Madison and East
and Floyd streets, he was filed with IN
utterabIe anguish at finding her in one of
these dirty huts, occupied only by color
ed people, and evidently very much in
toxicated. All Of his efforts to induce
her to return to her home and TO the six
living children with which their marriage
has been blessed, were unavailing. Tie
woman entreated to be let alone, or else
be permitted to 20 where she would new
er behold his face again. She had on
her person the sum of three hundred
dollars, which she stated would take her
where she pleased A carriage was cent
to the door, aid an officer whose assist
ance was required, went into the house
and finally persuaded her to return to
the home which she had not seen, and
perhaps had not thought Of, since Sat-
urday. She was placed in the carriage
and, in company with the officer, went
back to her amily, but not without i'm
ploring to be allowed to 90 anywhere
else. The appearance of the woman /:
proposing in every respect. Above the
average size, she Is splendidly formed
aud IN afiuent circumstances. Whaf
motive there is for this womans strange
and disgraceful conduct can not even bt
guessed This adds yet another horror
to the long list of crimes from drunken
ness. Here is woman Of persona
beauty, high position, mother surround
ed by her children, dragged down below
the level of brute, aud involving in hel
fall husband, children aud loving friends
and all for what? Let who will, an

him, as its really among the political
certainties of the future that Grant viii

the people desire to manifest their oppo-

persons are killed, while the estimate of
the wounded reaches as high as thirty, Of
whom seven or eight are MORALLY hurt.
From 5 o'clock this afternoon until 6,
the Plaza resounded with pistol shots
groans, yells, and excreeations. For
fully fifteen minutes the firing was inces-
SAINT. and continued during the rest Of
the hour. The Republican aud Demo :
cratic parties had each selected to day as
the most suitable time for the grand
meeting of the campaign. At an early
hour this morning both parties com
menced their preparations. The leaders
we're evidently DESTROYS of avoiding a dis
turbanee, and formed in procession and
passed each others place of meeting
without an outbreak; aud nothing hap
pened until after the meeting had ad
journed and the procession reformed.
At five o'clock in the evening both par
ties met in the Plaza, exchanging defiant
shouts. a pistol shot was fred when a
general fg%>ensued. Men, women and
children hurried to their homes, but the
fight wan kept up from the windows aud
housetops, the dead and wounded falling
on all sides Hon. John Simon, Repub
lican candidate for Judge, was the first
killed The balance killed and the
wounded are mostly Mexicans. Anoth
er fight took place at Chico, near Los
Vegas, in which two were killed and six
or seven wounded. Tue people are ter
ribly excited here, but everything is
being done to preserve peace and good
order.
Hon. Marsh Giddings, tue new Gov
ernor of this territory, arrived here
Thursday and was inauguratedyesterday.
He was sernaded last evening by one of
the largest assemblages ever known In
this city, and made speech which was
received with great enthusiasm"

THE New York E.rpress suggests that
it is pow time for Grant to declare mar

The reason for this suggestion is found
in the fact that The rights of inofensive

" hat means all these military prepa-
ratious if war on grand scale is not con
templated? A large number of the
Paris Patrie states upon information re
ceived from St. Petersburg that the
Russian Government has of late eyinced
the greatest anxiety to complete the re
organization of the army and the con
version of its ornaments. Large orders
for guns and mitralleuses and projectiles
have been given in England, America,
and Belgium. Some orders have also
been given to manufacturers in the
French Departments, but in all cases
stipulation has been made for speedy de-
livery. Moreover, work is carried on
day aud night in the arsenals and dock
yards at ST. Petersburg, and other places.
The same paper mentions a rumor that
Prince Bismarck contemplates the with
drawal from France of the entire occu-
pying force, and observes that its salts
faction at such proceeding is qualified
in the belief that it proceeds from de-
sire to prepare for renewed warfare. The
cadres of regiments are being filed up,
arms are being perfected Or transformed,
and stores are being provided to an IN
exampled extent These preparations,
however, the T'ot-se believes, are IN no
way directed against France, but are in
tended to iuhict upon Russia similar
humiliation to that which France has
been recently subjected to. Among 9th

Bismarck is credited with desire to
