Instead of Fists.
PHILADELPHIA, March 4, 1873.
The following special account OF the prize night
at Golfers, West Va, to-day, has been received-
Barney Campbell, of Wilkesbarre and Harry
Hicken. of Philadelphia, and their seconds, with
large party Of roughs, alighted here at an early
hour this morning, and after stalking out ring
and choosing referee, the men shook hands and
i'm mediatey proceeded to hammer each other.
Uicken was fought down in the first five rounds,
and in the sixth Campbell was thrown. In the
eighth Hcken was fought down and also in the
ninth and tenth. In the twelfth round Hicken had
the best of the fighting; but Campbell again took
the lead in the thirteenth round. In the fourteenth
Campbell Knocked Hcken down, and the latter
had the best of 1t in the fifteenth and up to the
twentieth round
Thirty-six rounds were fought, lasting one hour
and ten minutes, when most unsatisfactory ter
minaton took place. SeddOns and the notorious
Ned O'Baldwin got into quarrel and in few
minutes hundreds of pistols were drawn, and after
q promiscuous fight in which all present INDUCED,
1t was discovered that the "Irish Giant had been
severely handled.
When Seddons (who was referee) and O'Baldwin
got in the fight the principals "skedadded." As
there has been no decision the fight will again take
place two months hence.
The ring was pitched at half-past eight A. M.
When the tight ceased Hicken did not show any
marks, while Campbell was bleeding pr0fusely and
his head displayed Mansard architecture.

"Have you any objections to telling me what
it is?"
'None whatever. l have just sent word to the

about before taking final action in the case. de-
sire to consult with the Judges of the Court of Ap
peals and others in regard to certain points in the
case, and do not care just now to say anything
further On the subject"
Your correspondent having obtained all the in
formation desired and not caring to trespass
further upon the Governors courtesy, withdrew
During my conversation with the Governor he was
exceedingly courteous, and did not by any means
indicate that he cared to keep the real cause for
his action in the case secret. However, he ex-
pressed himself and quite justly, unwilling to dis
cuss the merits or demerits of the case or TO be
interviewed as to what his probable future action
in the case two weeks from now would be.
The action OF the Governor, as write, has been
made known to but very few, chiefly Fosters
particular friends, who have been here so long
working night and day to save him from the gal
lows. They very naturally think that the reprieve
indicates that the unfortunate mans sentence will
finally be commuted to imprisonment for life.
Nine ten tbs OF the members ofthe Legislature whom
have spoken to this evening on the subject believe
that the Governor will. in the end, change the SEN
tence from that of death to that OF life at hard
labor at Sing Sing.

iWshaSe no imSa1s Of iknoyingthe ex-
act ahoGat that was on deposit with
these banks during the years, 1871 and
1872, but during 1878 1t was as follows I;
In the Merchants, $is, s94 "a; in the First
National, $25,111 10, and in tho Kama
VIVA Valley, $44,07l 72. The rates Of in
terest paid by these banks Tor 1878 were
per cent by the Merchants and 81 each BY
the First National and Ksnswhs Valley
banks. II they each paid the same rates
last year they must have held about the
following amounts, on deposit, VIZ: the
Merchapts, say Gee 600; the First Nation.
al, $e5O0O, and the Kanawha Valley
bank, $4,000. These amounts would
make very nearly tile same aggregate for
last year as is on deposit this year.
They certainly show that the Charleston
banks are in good pasture, especially the
Kanawha Valley, which for some reason
appears to be the favorite depoSitary with
the Treasurer. q J'gs - ' '.f;f ~
The Journal suggests that there is too
much discrepancy between what these
banks pay the State for its money and
what they charge ,their, customers when
they loan 1t out % them. 1t remarks that
the margin is TOO great between 81 and 3
per cent to the State and 10 per cent 10
the people. As a'remedy for this Unequal
lily that paper proposes to let the money
remain longer In the hands Of tax payers,
and not collect 1t in advance Of the wants
otthe State. There would be force in this
suggestion II this money did not chiefly
belong to the irreducible school fund.
That it does belong to this fund is shown
BY the TACT that while the State Treasury
Is empty. yet at the same time
there Is $4,000 on deposit in
theS Charleston banks. In other words
II Is a fact that while the money Of the
State has been loaned to this enormous
amount to The banks al Charleston at 81
and 8 per cent interest, the Governor has
been compelled TO- send to Wheeling
within the last day or two TO borrow
100000 from 5our banks with which to
carry on the State Government. This
shows that these Charleston banks have
loaned out the School money and have gol
It tied up in promiscuous paper, some

shows that while they ara thus getting
the use of an enormous, amount Of State
money at low rates Of interest yet when
the State Is In distress for the want OF a
few thousand dollars they are either
unable or unwilling to help her.
Is It not time that the ar
