The New York Express is quoted as
suggesting that it is now time for Grant
to declare martial law at Long Branch,
and station brigade of soldiers in his
front yard. The reason for this sugges-
ton is found in the fact that the rights

them the privilege of hugging white

assassination was resolved on. 1t was
also resolved to burn factories and work

The effiuvia thus liberated filled the air

Murget was trying to arrest a man,
whose name is unknown, on a charge
of threatening to shoot his room mate,
this morning, be drew a revolver and
fred at the Chief of the Police, the ball
entering his right breas. and passed
through the right lung. The man then
fred at Munger, the ball just grazing
his body and making a slight flesh
wound. Another policeman then came
up when the man fred at him, but the
ball didn't take effect. They then seized

CHICAGO.

CHICAGO, December 1.-The Chicago
and Northwestern. railroad has filed a
bill against Herman Rostare, U. S.
Collector here, to restrain him from
collecting $4,000 tax levied on divi,
dends declared by the company since
December 81, 1870. 1t is alleged that
the Commissioner having given it as
his opinion that the dividend tax after
that date could not be collected, the
com pany did not reserve the amount in
paying dividends, but that nevertheless
the delendent is proceeding to collect
the tax. The Illinois Central railroad
has filed similar bill to restrain the
collection of $4,000.
Total amount received from all
sources by the relief and Aid committee
up to the present is S2,50S,Sl6, which is
much less than the popular estimate.
The work OF the relief is gigantic and
must last many months, 30 that all
sent will be well used.

is much ice in the canal and river, and
is nearly four inches thick. There is
still large fleet of vessels dne from
Chicago, Milwaukee and Toledo,
bringing about a million bushels oi
grain, consigned to Buffalo parties, and
ifthis cold weather continues they will
have great difficulty in breaking through
the ice to discharge their cargoes.
Reports received here to-day from
Canada, state that the Sault St Marie
river and Welland canal are full Of ice
and that navigation is finished for the
season.
Reports received from all points on
the canal mention cold weather and q
fall o! snow during the night, with
fully FIVE inches Of ice in the canal
along the whole line and no prospects
Of getting boats through.

MED by the Citizens Reception COM
mittee and also by few invited guests
from New York.
The steamer Mary Powell, with the
Grand Duke and party, started for
West Point this morning. No trouble
was expected from ice in the Hudson.
The river has not closed up down to
that point. There were very few per-
sons present to witness the departure.
WEST POINT, December 1.-The steam
er Mary Powell, with the Grand Duke
and party on board, reached this place
at 1890 to-day. A salute OF twenty-one
guns was fired from Battery Knox,
and the steamer passed to the north
dock, when the guests were landed and
conveyed to the parade ground in
carriages, the steamer in the mean
time sailing up the river as far as Crows
Nest, returning Immediately, when the
Royal party disembarked and were re-
ceived by General Ruger and staff: A
tour Of the parade grounds and public
buildings was then made, the visitors
halting at General Ruger's residence,
when brief reception took place, and
the Grand Duke was introduced to the
Academy Board and the officers OF the
post. Immediately after the cadets
passed by the Grand Duke and party
in review. That being ended, the off,
GERS OF the first class were advanced to
the front and each one introduced to
Alexis, when a general haudshaklng
ensued. The Grand Duke, the Russian
Minister, Admiral Poisset and party,
under the escort of General Ruger and
staff, next made a tour Of the barracks
and visited other places Of interest at

body blow, jumped back and grinned at
Mace. The latter claimed foul, which
was not allowed. After dodging and
sparring round the ring, the men rested.
Coburn got in slightly on Mace's breast,
aud then each countered on the neck oi
the other. After some light exchanges
Coburn threw Mace at the ropes.
Ninth round-More teinting, follow
ed by hard fighting. Mace forced Co
burn to the ropes. Some sharp ex.
changes took place in the corner, and
both went down.
Tenth round-Coburn in Mace's
corner. Joe gotin. Sharp fighting in
favor of Coburn, ending in Mace being
thrown.
Eleventh round-Cries of you've
got him, Joe; he can't last half an
hour" sparring and feigning in Mace's
corner; Maces friends look very seri.
Gus; there is more feigning, when Mace
got in slightly on Coburn's cheek;
another long series of feigning follows,
Mace hugging his corner closely, and
Coburn eyeing him.
Fifty dollers was then bet even that
Mace don't win the fight.
The referee here said, "Tll give you
five minutes to advace." Coburn ad-
vanced quickly to Mace's corner; Jem
came forward, but retired again to his
corner, Coburn following; more feign-
ing ensued. After another long inter
val, both men came to the scratch
Mace again retreated to his corner
Kissing from the crowd. The referee
again called on the men, and said: 81
give you half minute to advance
to the scratch. Coburn promptly
advanced; Mace followed slowly.
Mace again returned to his corner,
where feigning ensued as before; the
men folded arms and eyed each other.
The referee then ordered them to their
corners, and advancing to the center Of
the ring, SAID, "This crowd came here
to see a fight; you have had every
chance offered, but seem afraid Of each
other; l, therefore, declare the fight
draw and all bets of"
This round lasted lasted over an hour.
After the referees decision Mace crossed
over to Coburn's corner, patted Joe on
the back, saying, "Coburn is the best
man / ever met in the ring"
Mace has a severe confusion just
above the left hip. He acknowledges
Coburn struck him there ten times; Co.
burn has short cut down the left eye,
and scratch on the nose under the
right eye; otherwise he shows no pun
ishment.
In the second round Mace injured
two fingers Of his left hand, when he
hit Coburn's head. He gives this as a
reason for his hugging his corner and
acting on the defensive.
Mr.. Hunt gives the time OF the fight
as three hours and thirty-eight minutes
The spectators seem will satisfied with
the referees decision.

Financial.
The interest on the called in 500
bonds, being the balance OF the first
series of the issue of 1862, ceases to-day.
The payment upon the new 5 per cent.
bonds has come in with unexpected
promptness. The amount needed for
the payment Of the six per cent is already
provided. 1t is not expected, however,
that very large proportion of coin
will be required for the redemption oi
the one hundred millions of six per
cents. SS,0OO,00O of gold have been
paid on account of cash redemption,
which amount covers all the bonds
presented for cash payment, on both
foreign and domestic accounts. The
most of the one hundred millions OF
5-2Os called in for December lst, have
been taken up by the American and
European Syndicates, and will be used
in settlement for the new 5 per cent
bonds. it is therefore improbable that
a very large amount Of additional gold
will be required to close the transaction.
