The louisville Side Show.

The Straight-outs opened their side show at
Louisville yesterday, Blanton Duncan leading
the way. arranged what Artemus Ward would
ave called the fggers," and after airing his
vocabulary, mod-stly resigned his functions.-
After the show was organized, Mr.. James
Lyons, of Richmond, was made permanent
president. We care nothing for what he said,
and we care as little for what the iggers -
viii do, knowing well that they are acting in
the interest Of Grant that Grant officials have
supplied them with transportation and equip
meut, that Merton, near by, is pulling the
wires, aud that the speaking automatons have
been duly wound up to talk about true Demo-
crazy. But the Gggers are evidently weak
in the underpinning, as a suggestion was
thrown ont that they would be all the better if
they were sustained by the brawny arms Of
the Labor Reiormers
Seriously, however, the only matter of i'm
portance reported thus far, is the letter Of Mr.
O'COnor, which might very properly bear the
title Of An Essay on Good Goyernment.-Bal-

4 Preliminary 0pmiRg-Dmcan IN a Fight.
LOUISVILLE, KY, Scpt2-This afternoon, in
the rotuuda of the Calf House, Colonel Blauton
Duncan casually interrupted conversation
between General George A. Gustav, who is here
to attend the opening Of the exposition, and,
Or. j. ". Keller a prominent physician of
this city. Sharp conservation ensued, in the
course of which Duncan declared that he had
been offered half million BY the Greeley par
ty to break up this convention. Gustav res
pended that the other party must have offered
more; that he could prove that Duncan had
said the whole thing was bargain and sale,
aud if he was to be sold he would sell to the
party that would pay the highest price. Dun
can responded that Custars informant was
liar. DR.. Keller said, " l am responsible for
the statement and demanded rctraction.-
Duncan refused, when Keller struck him Vi
olently in the face. Duncan reeel, but did
no, fall, catching by a chair with which he
attempted to strike Dr. Kcllar. Seyeral
blows passed, when the parties were separa-
ted.

This morning, tsays the Washington Star,
Sept. 2ud about II o'clock, Judge Dent,
brother of Mrs President Grant, visited the
Capital - Office, on Eleventh street, and on
enquiring for Mr. Reed, one of the editors, was
directed to his room, up stairs. Calling Mr..
Reeds attention to an article in Yesterdays
" Capital" he asked who the author was.
Mr. Reed replied he was responsible for it,
whereupon Judge D. pronounced it false, and
calling upon Mr.. Reed to defend himself
Then raising a walking stick he struck Mr.
Reed several times over the head, breaking the
cane
Mr. Reed by this time was on his feet, and,
selling the judge, a scuiile eusued for the pos
session Of the cane, or the remnant Of It in the
hands Of the latter At this juucturc some Of
the staff Of the paper who were down stairs
hearing the noise of the scuiile, came up and
separated the ccmbatants. Officer Roderick
took the assaiant into custody, and filed in
formation in the police court, charging Mr..
Dent with assault and battery on Henry Reed.
The article which provoked the attack re-
lated to the appointment Of William J . Far
rand as Consul at Callao, for which, it was al
legged, Louis Dent and Gen. T. r. Dent had re-
csiyed respectively, two thousand and one
thousand dollars in compensation for their IN
huence with President Grant.
