WEST VIRGINIA EIEoT1oN.-The new consti-
luton of West Virginia will be submitted to-
Gay to the people for adoption or rejection. 1t
Is considered democratic measure, and will
be voted against by the republicans mainly on
account of clause which it contains disquali-
flying negroes from holding Office. State Off
GERS and members Of Congress will also be
elected, but the former will have to abide the
fate of the new constitution. If the constitu-
ton is rejected new election will be held in
October The peculiar features Of the election
are more fully explained in another column.

The BELFAST SKULL CUTTING seems to have
been brought near q close after whole week
devoted to that amusement. A policeman was
shot dead yesterday. The editor of Catholic
newspaper was badly assaulted, and attempts
were made to fire several churches A school
house was wrecked by the mob and plumber
carried on with unblushing effrontery. The
authorities at length handed over the city to
the military, who were OF last accounts pa-
trolling the riotous districts. The casualties
do not appear to have been very heavy, but
the injury to the fair fame of city whose au-
thorities allow some few hundred vicious vaga-
bonds TO spread terror in it for seven days is
considerable

The Collapse OF tho Chicago Grain
Corner.

The Collapse Of tho Chicago Grain
Corner.
Few will regret the financial ruin Of the
men who designed and for month sustained
the corner" in wheat at Chicago. Their
operations wickedly forced the price of the
great bread staple of the country in that
prominent grain market some twenty per cent
higher than its natural value, and had their
ability equalled their greed they would have
doubled the cost of every loaf in the food Of
the people. On Monday wheat sold in the
Exchange at Chicago for dollar and half q
bushel, cash. The next day it fell to dollar
and twenty-seven cents and in the crash
which resulted it is reported several of
the heaviest operators including the origi-
majors of the corner" ore irretrievably bank
rupted Not the slightest excuse can be offered
for this heartless conspiracy to rob oil the
bread eaters Of the country, and no sympathy
will be accorded to The defeated plotters' In
the face of an abundant harvest just coming
upon the market, these men, by the aid Of the
Chicago warehousemen, undertook to limit
the stream Of grain passing towards the sea-
board, and thus produce q scarcity which
would be most seriously felt by all who buy
their breadstuffs, and especially by the poor in
the large cities Such unprincipled tampering
with the articles necessary to support life can
not meet the appreciation of the great mass of
society, and is most properly hazardous to
those who undertake it. New York years ago
experienced bread riot produced In q similar
manner. and at this day they would 30 bold

THE DECLINE IN GoID.-The speculative
mood of Wall street is proverbially tickle.
The other day the operators in gold were
preaching O rise this Autumn to 1875. Now
the whole crowd are on the other tack, and
looking to see decline to ITO or under, as
a consequence of the reelection Of General
Grant, which event is now expected by the
Wall street fraternity as confidently as was Mr..
Greeley's only week ago. It's curious
CANVASS all around.

HORACE GREELEY has stolen away from his
friends to snatch a little ease among the white
hated breakers of Fire Island. The fight was
managed with great secrecy, SO far as New
York is concerned; but the secret oozed out as
the venerable Philosophers face Yves recog-
nized on the Long Island Southside Railroad,
and the HERALD caught glimpse Of him when
he dismounted at Babylon. 1t will be hard,
indeed, for the Sage to creep into the shadow
for some time to come, owing to the fierce light
that beats upon Presidential candidates nova
days.

can have no better fastener than the action Of
the doughty pugilists, Mace and OBaldwin,
who, after having pitched a ''ring' in West
Virginia yesterday afternoon, held an exciting
contest for over an hour in gutter rhetoric over
the question Of referee. This ended in ga

and blackguards, who hoped for drawing of
"claret' instead.

OF the olympic Theatre lease, and the article
in reference to alleged unseemly conduct and
indecent language on the bench, were declared
not proven. The gravity Of the offences in the
articles proven is sufficient to justify the severe
penalty of disqualification.
The scandal which has fallen upon the judi
ciary Of the State Of New York is a natural re-
suit Of that general looseness of morality among
public officials which followed the wild license
and reckless prodigality Of the war Of the rebel
lion. 1t is astonishing to look back upon the
terrible moss Of corruption which has loaded
down every department of the public service
since 1860, in the general government in State
governments, in municipalities, in counties
and in towns, and to find that the nation has
been able to stand up under the burden. Hun
dreds Of millions have been taken from the
pockets Of the people since the commencement
Of the war by dishonest contractors, unjust
claimants, bounty robbers, city plunderers and
carpet-bag State governments, The infection
of decentralization has spreAA Il. every direc-
toni into quiet country towns as we'll as
into large cities, and men who before
the war would have been startled ct the idea of
dishonest act have been drawn into the vortex
and have entered upon the business Of official
plumber as il it were legitimate occupation.
The Tammany robberies, although triding in
comparison with the old revenue robberies and
the present wholesale plumber Of the carpet
bag governments in the South, could never
have been undertaken before the public mind
had been drilled into the contemplation of
these grand rascalities. 1t would have been
surprising If the Bench had retained it's purity
untarnished amid such universal license.
The Legislature is the constitutional check
held over the Judiciary, and the Legislature Of
the State of New York has been SO foul with
corruption as to become byv0gd and re-

bounties, pensions and homestead grants ad
libit,nn. This is followed by the usual aston
ishment and indignation at democratic extrav-
agance in the State, especially when compared
with the wonderful honesty and economy of
republican rule in the nation; by declara-
ton that reforms must come from the repub-
lican party, no reforms prepared in any other
shop being reliable or genuine by q resolution
in favor Of canal enlargement to steam capa-
city; by grateful recognition Of the services
of the liable and faithful republican Senators
and Representatives OF Washington during the
war and since its cessation, and last, though
not least, by cordial invitation into the re-
publican ranks of ''honest democrats who
spurn the unprincipled coalition which seeks
to ally them with the discarded elements of
the republican party"
This last resolution, we ore told, elected
more applause than any of the rest, and,
taken in connection with the ticket it pre-
sents another curious feature in this singular
campaign. While the democrats are fighting
under the Presidential banner of two original
republicans the republicans, who have demo-
crat at the head of their Presidential ticket,
place On old democratic politician OF the head
Of their State ticket, for tho avowed purpose
Of gaining democratic votes, back him up
with Lyman Tremain and other former lights
of the democracy, and extend warm well
come to all democrats who will join
the administration household. This action
suggests the thought, what is the use of the
Louisville Straight-Out Convention farce, and
why should the republicans be helping on
Colonel Blanton Duncan and his forlorn hope,
when they can do SO much better by taking
them all into the republican party, and thus
making their votes available, instead Of throw
ing them awayP An official copy of this
friendly invitation of the Republican Conven-
ton should be sent to Louisville forthwith
and then we should probably be spared the
trouble Of further complications and proftless
speculations in the present strangely mixed
campaign.

a "Scume' between Judge Dent and
Reed Of the EnniinI

WASHINGTON, d. C., Sept. 2.-The Capital of
this city, yesterday, contained an article based
on one from the New York Times, rejecting
upon Judge Louis Dent and Gen. Dent in the
matter Of the appointment by the president of
VIM. j, Farrand as consul to Callao, and of j.
Ii. Whitney as committee 10 settle claims of citi-
zens Of the United States against Peru and
charging that certain moneys were paid to the
Dents for their influence. This morning Judge
Dent visited the Capital office, and on inquiry
for Henry Reed, one of the editors, was directed
to his room up stairs.
Calling Reeds attention to the article TO
which reference is above made, he asked who
the author was. Reed replied that he was re-
sponsible for it; whereupon Judge Dent pro-
nounced it false, and called upon Reed to de-
lend himself Then raising walking stick
Judge Dent struck Reed several times over the
head, breaking the cane. Reed by this time
was on his feet, and seizing the judge scuflle
ensued for possession OF the cane, or the remnant
in the hands Of the latter. At this juncture
some of the staff of the paper, VINO were down
stairs, hearing the noise OF the scutfie, came up
and separated the combatants. Officer Roun-
dick, being near at hand, was called and took
the assistant into custody and filed information
in the police court, charging Judge Dent with
assault and battery on Reed. The hearing
was postponed until tomorrow, Dent entering
personal recognizance in the sum Of 5000 for his
appearance 10 answer.
Reed received two scalp wounds and a cut
near the eft eye, which is somewhat bruised,
the wound being probably made by the spliu-
tered end of the cane after it was broken. The
above is a history of the case as stated before
the police court to-day.
Reed and his friends assert that the assault
was made without any explanation except a
question asked by Judge Dent as to the respon-
siDility Of the paper for what it printed After
Reed had answered Dents interrogatory in
the affirmative he asserts that the Judge, raising
his hickory cane, and, without word of ex-
PLANTATION, beat him over the head with it, Reed
further says that Dent did not call upon him
TO defend himself, but assaulted him as he was
sitting with his feet cramped under the table,
and that for moment or two he was unable to
offer any resistance TO the blows showered upon
him.
Gen. Dent, being interviewed this afternoon,
warmly denied the truth of the statements in
the Capital.

HoLDEN.-An adjourned meeting of the re-
publcans of Holden was held in the town hall
last Saturday evening, August S1st, Vice Pres-
dent VIM. c. Metcalf in the chair The meet
ing was called for the purpose of forming Il
Grant and Wilson club, and the republicans
signitied their interest in the cause by large
attendance ard an earnesnesS in the work be-
fore them.
They adopted preamble and bylaws by
which they are to be governed, and organized
by the choice of Col. l. n. Ross for president,
NJ. V. Jefferson, F. NJ. Stowell, VIM. C. Metcalf
and j. II. Gleason vice presidents, and Ethan
Davis, Gates Chapman, Alfred Chafiin and |. NJ
Ball as executive and finance committees, Dr.
J. T. Rood secretary, and S. W. Arlington
treasurer.
A few weeks since the republicans of this
town felt little anxiety lest goodly number
of our fold should leave our camp and go over
to the enemy. But our fears in that direction
are now greatly abatcd, for if Greeley stock con-
tinues to decline fast as it has of late it will be
down to zero long before the first of November.
We are also pleased with the prospect of re-
ceiving accessions from the ranks of the demo.

selves with the cold junk" party. r.
