FREE FIGHT.-Last night about eight o'clock
two Hibernians, who had been indulgng too
freely in election wbiskey, became engaged in a
furious quarrel at Fifth and Madison streets
n a few minutes, q crowd Of interested parties
assembled around the combatants, and their re-
spective friends urged them on n ,h encourag-
ing cheers and yels. For short time perfect
pandemonium reigned. Women screamed and
cried, dogs barked furiously, and the pugilis,s
yelled, alternately with pain and triumph, at
their varying success. At length they were
separated, and taken away in different directions.
One Of them took with him, as a trophy, his
opponents shirt, torn to ribbons. which he waved
riumphantly over his head, and then trampled
under his fets. Neither Of them had much
clothes lett to speak Of, both being almost
entirely stripped by the roughness Of their en-
counter.

COMPARATIVELY QUIET pAY.-A NOISY x
CITING NIGHT.
The election, yesterday, was as quiet as any
held here for years, and during the time the polls
were opened was marked by almost an entire ab-
sence OF even the drunken hrawls which are
generally 80 preva 'ent at e!ec lions. At the First
Ward polls slight fracas occur,d, during which
one of the Deputy Marshals ives unceremonious y
tumhled into the street, for unwarranted inter-
ference, but the disturbance was quelled without
any serious trouble.
In the evening, however, great change was
apparent The crowds on the street increased in
numbers, and the effects of two frequent pota-
tons of election whisky, soon became amazingly
prevalent. About nine O'Clock. returns began to
be received from Pennsylvania and other States,
when scenes occurred which battle description.
The delay in counting the ballots at the different
Wards, caused the interest in tho results to be
lost for awhile, and the crowds began to wend
their way 10 the respective party headquarters. At
tie Democratic headquarters, it is needless to say
ne enthusiasm was manifested, and although the
rooms were open till late, they were not long
occupied. The Republican headquarters were
crowded and jammed by a motley assemblage Of
blacks and whites, who danced. yelled, sang, and
shouted in the .exurberance of their delight al
| their success.
The streets remained thronged until morning
| with enthusiastic Republicans. and not until tn;
approach ofdaylight, did their carnival cease.

MR.. GARRISON ON THESITUATIoN.-Th
Worcester Spy is permitted to publish the
following extract from a letter of Mr.. Will
liam l.. Garrison TO friend in that county:
What stupendous imposture is the
game going on between so-called liberal
republican ism and rebel democracy for the
presidential prize! In the history of po-
litical corruption is there anything to
mate h it? l have always regarded Greeley
as a man without any fixed principles ; but
he is daily revealing himself, both in what
he does and through the columns of the
Tribune (Which is his special organ, and
for the spirit of which he is TO he held re-
sponsible, make what disclaimers or dodges
he may in regard to its management, as
first-class political demagogue, unless it
may be charitably suspected that he is
smilten with imbecility. His election to
the presidency will, TO all intents and pur-
poses, be the restoration of the South TO the
control of our national policy; and in
that event there is to be poured out upon
our land fresh vials of wrath TO the extent
of our recreancy, as people, to the princi-
pies of freedom and righteousness. 1t is
something worse than mockery for him
to point to the Cincinnati platform as proof
that he and his hackers are eminently pat
rotic, as it is when Satan quotes Scripture
to his purpose. Greeley we know, and
what the Democratic party North and
South has been and is we know, namely,
that they are not TO be trusted with official
station and power, promise what they will
or swear to what they may. For the great
peril that threatens us in the rejection of
| Grant and the downfall of the Republican
party consider Mr. Sumner largely ac-
countable by his speech and conduct toward
them both. He may be able to persuade
himself that he is acting most patriotic
and disinterested part but the fact is none
the less humiliating and condemnatory
that none are so pleased with his course as
those who took up arms to destroy the re-
public, who until recently have been his
btterest foes, and who are still essentially
as southern in all their aims and senti-
ments as they have ever been.

WHO HIS CHa.yGBDr

The questions upon which partisan wri-
ters and speakers arc cudgelling their
brains during the heated term is whether
the liberal republicans or democrats have
changed Mr.. Greeley declares himself no
less a republican and the democrats no less
democrats because they nominated him.
The mere partisans annotunderstand this
at ali. They look upon democrat as one
kind of u man and republican as another,
which like oil and water, cannot be mixed.
The Advertiser insullcl the common sense
Of its readers the other day by likening
the democrat and the republican to drunk
ard and teetotaler. Almost equally absurd
comparisons have appeared in other Grant
papers, and a few hide-bound democrats
talk the same nonsense. What are the
facts? We all know the present republi-
can party was made up of wings and DEM
ocrats, some of whom went into 1t early and
some late-some for principle and some for
place-some for love of justice and some
for greed of Office. Gen. Grant was one OF
the last to come in about four years ago.
We all know what he was after. The dem
ocratic party was also made up of demo-
Gratis and wings. 1t is not such strange
thing for men of different parties to unite.
that is the way the republican party was
made. All new reform parties are made
in that way. Now We challenge anybody
TO show one issue that has been made be-
tween the republican and democratic par
ties since the former was brought into ex.
istence not connected with the question o
slavery. Both parties have free trader'

NO. 81.

and protectionsts both have had mixed
sentiments on the currency, the payment
Of tho debt and kindred topics internal
improvements, our foreign relations, etc..
etc. The old issue is settled. Slavery is
. dead and nobody wishes to revive It. The
negroes have the ballot and no one wishes
to take it away. The confederate debt is
repudiated, as the debts of all unsuccessful
rebellions always are, and nobody wishes
to pay 1t. The national debt Is to be paid
in the standard money of the world, and If
any favor partial reputation we are as
likely to find them in one party as the 9TH
er The present movement is one of rec
onciiation and Of reform in the public SER
vice, and a protest against Capitalization
and personal government. II is based on
the best doctrines of both parties, against
the corrupt practices of party which has
been IN power too long. The liberal Iepub-
licans stand where they have always stood,
in favor of equal rights for all without re-
gard to color. The democrats accept the
constitutional amendments and stand on
state government and local self govern
ment. If you find democrat who regrets
the end of slavery you will find one who
objects to the nomination of Greeley but
he is no more democrat for that. IT you
find republican who is making money
| out of the condition of affairs in the south,
be sure he is Grant man; 4; but is he any
more of a republican for that? The patri-
otic citizen need not be alarmed at the de-
cadence of party, for if one party remain
ed always in power there never would be
any such thing as decentralization Herd,d

Take hold of my hand, papa, and help me across !
Item, Local Paper.
Dampness on the golden hairl
Ashon hues on lip and brow!-
Well they know what dreaded presence
waiieth for their idol now.
Long and vain the anxious watchers
For the aeeting breath had prayed,
That the cruel blows, surging
At her very feet, be stayed.
But with faith and trust unsullied
BY thot Of guile or sin,
Undismay'd, tn c little Voynger
shrinketh not to venture in.
Needing not attendants earthly,
Or their last endearments fond,
Now the glaring blue eyes brighten,
Seeing som ething still beyondi
From the lips that death was sealing
Breaks once more the silvery speech,
And the wasted hand, uplifted,
Something lowering near would reachl
Gicrioa from nsir dim eyes hidden
An her senses now engross--
Listi "Take-hoid-my hand, papa,
And help me safe across!"
On the golden hair glory
Seemeth to have settrd nowl
And geam from DER the waters
shineth on the peaceful brow!
flushed and avid were hearts rebellious,
Half forgetful Of their loss,
Noting well the look Of rapture
As she smiling went across.
Is It thus we cross the billows,
Rolling dark and cold between
Weary pilgrims and the borders
