New YORK, Aug. 4.-The Chambers
Seddons prize fight yesterday, was carried
out so quietly that the police were COM
petely frustrated in their attempts to dis
cover the locality of the fight. 1t was on
Long Island, between Graves End and the
new Eutrecht. The line was formed in
clump of trees, the ropes being run around
their trunks in lieu of stakes. There was
but little formality in the preliminaries.
The men walking into the ring in plain
clothes, Chambers was in splendid condi-
ton, Seddons showed signs of over-train-
ing. Forty-nine rounds were fought,
Chambers drew the first blood. The men
came to time promptly, until after the for
tieth round, when Seddons showed the ef-
fects of the heavy pummelling he had re-
ceived. AT the end of the forty-ninth
round, Seddons face was pummelled to
Jelly and falling to come to time his sec
onds threw up the sponge. Chambers was
not much injured, Seddons was barely able
to stand up and had to be carried to his
carriage and conveyed to his home. Cham

Convention OF superintendenis.

In obedience to the call of State Super
intendent Fleming, the County SuperinS
tendents of East Tennessee met yesterday
at the Board of Trade Rooms in this city.
The attendance, owing to the general ex-
element about cholera, was light. The
following Superintendents responded to
the roll call viz: J. H. Trent, of Ham
blen, j. b. c. Edwardson, of Hawkins, J "A.
Mitchell, of Loudon, j. H. Hicks, of Mon
roe, j. A. Newton, of Roane, d. Emert, of
Sewer, II. Presnell, of Washington, l..
Ricsden, of Scott, c. D. Russell, of Camp
bell, F. II. Davis, of Morgan land 7. G.
Karns, of Knox.
Little was done at the morning session
beyond effecting All organization which
was completed by electing Superintendent
Karns, OF Knox, Chairman and Supern-
tendent Edmondson, of Hawkins, Secre-
tary.
In the afternoon Superintendents Joseph
Janeway, of McMinn, w. l.. Sharp of
Bradley and John II. Morton, of Blount
presented themselves and were enrolled.
Superintendent Newton, of Roane, pre-
sented the following resolution, which was
adopted
ResolUed, That it is the sense of this
body that no school be allowed for less
than thirty pupils, except in very extreme
cases.
The entire afternoon was occupied in
the discussion of questions pertaining to
the school law and the best mode of inau-
gurating the new school system, each Su-
perintendent suggesting questions of diff
Guilty as his name was read by the Secre-
tarv.
At the night session Supt. II. PresnelI,
of Washington, was appointed Secretary
pro tem., owing to the absence of the reg
ular Secretary.
The subjects discussed were: "Desra-
| bility of County Superintendents publish
''Teachers' Institutes" ," and also "School
Houses" Prof Butler, of the East Ten
nessee Female Institute, was present and
offered some excellent remarks upon the
respective subjects. Others, including
| Supt Presnell of Washington, also strong
| ly advocated progress in these matters, and
| especially urged the establishing of teach
ers institutes, for the better qualification of
! teachers, in every county.
The work of the convention closed with
an address from State Superintendent
Fleming, who expressed himself highly
gratified with the results of the new move
for popular education thus far. The pro-
gress being made had exceeded his most
sanguine expectations, yet much remained
to be done. The results, with few excep-
tions, are most gratifying. Mr.. Fleming
seems thoroughly aroused TO the impor-
tance of his work, and we believe will do
much toward soon planting the educa-
tional interests of our State on q sure foot
ing.
ON motion, the Convention adjourned to
meet again at the call of the State Superin-
| tendent,

DEATH IN LoUDoN COUNTY.

Mr.. Rogers, of Loudon, carpenter,
while engaged in building q barn for
Robert Kittrell, six miles from that place,
was attacked with cholera on Friday
morning before breakfast, exhibiting the
usual symptoms of an aggravated case and
died yesterday morning at four o'clock.
He attempted to wear the disease out
and refused to lie down for several hours,
until he found it beyond his strength and
went to bed, but no physician was sum-
moned until 10 o'clock Friday night,
when collapse had set in and medical aid
was of no avail. Our informant stated on
the authority of the physician that the pa
TENTS life could have been saved if he had
been called in time.
Advices received by the conductor on
the II o'clock train last night, state that
there were no deaths, and there was bet
ter feeling prevailing as the disease seemed
broken in violence and yielded easily to
treatment.
Welwere informed Monday that there
were four new cases and one death from
cholera, in Sharp's settlement, Campbell
county. It seems that a man came from
RaccOon Valley, and before arriving in
Campbell county, he feeling unwell, he
resorted to quart of whisky. This giving
out, at the first convenient point, he pur-
chased another quart, and by the time he
arrived in Sharp's settlement he was taken
with cholera, and i'll very short time ex-
pired. Four other cases have been report
ed in that neighborhood since his death.
A colored man at Clinton, after eating
hearty dinner of green corn on Sabbath fin
ished off with watermelon, and concluded
the programme by taking first-class case
of cholera. We understand that he receiv-
ed no medical attention, but was reported
better yesterday morning as the train
passed.
The report from Jonesboro' by the IL
o'clock train is more favorable. there baine
| no new cases, and it is to be hoped that
the disease has spent its force in that much
! scourged place.

had recommended firing upon the city OF
Almeria this afternoon, and that the In

SCOURGED J0NESBORO' AND OTHER
POINTS.
An Appeal for Aid TO Bury the Dead and
Care for the sick


The advices received at the CHRoNICLE
office from Jonesboro, continues to be Of a
very sad character. The once prosperous,
healthful and happy little city is desolated
and stricken with fearful scourge IL
came upon it with alarming suddenness
and its people have fled panic stricken,
leaving its sick, dying ard dead
in the care of a.few resolute, noble
men, who are proving that they have
true courage not the fool bravado
of men who go out to shoot at each other
for the plaudits of false chivalry, but
that sublime, genuine courage that is in
the breast of the Christian who intelli-
gently faces real danger.

disease does not abate. DR.. Sewer will

A Serious UMty.

The exercise oF tha eiessivs frnnchiss is rot
only high privilege but solemn duty. 1t
= the method provided By law for every man
10 participate iu the affairs Of government
Il is legal ceremony as binding and as sa-
cred as any religious rite. and there is as
much moral responsibility involved in its ex-
srciss or abuse as their ia in the usage of
she church ordinances. We regard it as
substantial qualification Of ones conscience
60 vote for party or man that does not
represent his views Tbs omission to vote
imposes similar responsibility. As citizens
Of this country it IS our duty to support the
fapdaa,entai and municipal laws Of govern
Ment. We cannot eyade it without willing
~ neglecting and disregarding serious OBJ
legation Of citizenship. For man TO vote
10 please another OR to refuse to vote for fear
Of offendicg another, is equivalent to perjury.
We are all bound by the highest moral obi
cations to support the laws in spirit and
iutent. 1t is perversion and abuse Of the
rights offreemen if We do not. We claim
the protection Of the laws in all the rea-
lsSsons Of life. That claim imposes duty
to uphold the laws. We can 40 more neg
lect the dischargs Of this duty than We would
fail to appeal to this protection.
There is not an intelligeat man 10 this
State, who does not know that The Conserva-
1--WE party Of Virginia is 10 spirit opposed to
the constitution Of the United States as a.
mended and the laws of Congress made in
pursuance thereof. They profess to accept
the three amendments, but not to faithfully
execute them. The very issue they have
made Of race prejudice and distinction is
treason to that constitution. The brutal eff
forts they make to force aud bully men into
voting with this party, is treason to the gov
she State. Prescription for opiniop sake, is
= paipable violation of the law. The tricks
rand the compassion that have been used du-
ring the Ycegress Of registration to prevent
names froua being entered and which will be
repeated on tie day of election, to Induce
men to vote the Conservative ticket, is a
crime against the law and punishable BY ad-
squsss penalty. Tne ballot is sacred right
in the sight of thu law, and its pcrversion. by
Fsny meaos whatever is an attempt to corrupt
sshe government at fits very fountain source.
1t is therefore properly guarded by stringent
provisions and protected By direct speci6ca
'7aisa. Let every man refoember this, ard
discharge his imperative dety fearessly and
faithfully. 1t is time these things we're un-
dersteod and recognized It will o1answer
she purposes OF the law for the bullying and
force processes to be persisted in. The laws
must and will be upheld and enforced, let the
psaaty Of their violation fall where it may.
