sented as expressing himself confident the

RADICAL
"A sanguinary rencontre occurred in Wash
ington, last Saturday, between General A. G.
Jones, of West Virginia, and Colonel sayre, OF
Alabama, the combatants being armed With
canes and pockes-knives. Jones was cut In
several places, and bis LETT wrist broken.
sayre had his throat cut, and was stabbed In
, the abdomen. A. fatal result Is not appre-
hended In either case. The fight was desper-
ate, and had Its origin in an old m!sunder-
standing Both gentlemen were very popular
In Washington, where much regret is e4-
pressed at the occurrence.
The Washington correspondent Of the
Philadelphia Inquirer says: "The New York
city Democrats are nearly all of opinion that
the Baltimore Convention will endorse Gree
lev, Mr.. Brooks thinks three-fourths will go
the Cincinnati ticket, and that there will be
very bitter hostility developed on the part Of
some Of the others, and the unruly spirits who
have made the most of the trouble for the
Democracy, aud that they will refuse to sustain
the ticket thus endorsed. He has no doubt Of
Greeley's election by figures that, If realized,
will indicate political revolution in parties."
The Radical Reform Convention in New
York, last Saturday, was mongrel and curl
ous safair-representing apparently all Of the
isms that the most Radical heart could desire.
Mrs. Woodruff spoke, prophesying that from
this convention would issue the power that
would shape the world. Mrs. Woodruff and
Fred. Douglass were then nominated for presi-
dent and yice-president, amid great confusion.
A delegate nominated "Spotted Tail, sayilg
"Indians before niggers." Another suggest
ed that II Douglass declines, a heather Chlnee
should be nominated instead. The convention
finally broke up in great confusion.
The Reform Association Of New York city
reports ftty-fve Thousand votes enrolled.
The one .'plank" Of their platform is honesty
in the municipal service. Each voter by his
enrolment gives his pledge that he will vote
only for honest, capable men for the various
officers OF the city government. Partisan
political issues are ignored by the association,
which embraces men OF all parties. The as
ISOLATION adop.s the usual party machinery,
district and general executive committees,
nominating conventions, &c, as means to
exercise ils Influence ip the city COVER rnment.
1t is Tot to be supposed that an organization
of this sort will preserve its purity to any very
green old age in active partlcipation-in New
York politics, but that It may prove Of high
Immediate usefulness to that city, to continue
possibly during some years, s evident.
1t is in accordance with the dictates of o
fallen human nature to kick man when he is
down, and the English public showed itself
thoroughly human in its treatment of the sol
disant Tichborne claimant after his recent de.
feat and humiliation. But Tlchborne absolutely
refuses to be kicked, aud by his obs.ina,e
energy and perseverance in obtaining bail and
Trends for his defence, bids fair to reinstate
himself in the affections OF the variable popu-
lace. The subscriptions for The defence
already amount to over f31a0, or about third
of the requisite amount; and there is no ques-
tion but that the remainder will be shortly
forthcoming. The claimant writes q letter TO
the Times, to thank those who have enabled
him to regain his liberty, and 10 assert with
