BRICK BATS AND JACK KNIVES.
Disgraeeful Fight and Man nearly KILL

Saturday evening John Birdson, freight
conductor on the G. r. |. & P. r. r. be-
tween this city and Chicago, and Aleck
McIlvane, breaksman on the same division
of that road, and another man, Whose
name they say they don't know were out
riding in one buggy till Il o'clock. They
were over the river, it is supposed. When
they returned they stopped at the
corner Of Madison and Illinois street,
and Birdson, who was driving, told
McIlvane to get out, as he was near
the Union house, where he boarded Nc
declined to get out, saying he would ride
down to the stable where they got the
horse and buggy. Birdson then gave the
reins TO the third party, got out and threw
brick bat at Nc, and hit him. Nc jump
ed out and seized Birdson, threw him
down, and in the fall Birdson's forehead re-
ceived a cash. Birdson then drew a jack
knife from his pocket and commenced
cutting McIlvane giving him 8 or 10
gashes, two of which barely escaped an
artery which. had it been opened, would have
ended his life in few minutes. Birdson
went off and left him lying on the sidewalk
bleeding. He was found by John Racer,
a railroad hand, who took him to his board
ing place-the Union house, and placed him
in the care of DR.. Craig, who says his
wounds are not serious, although the loss
of blood makes him very weak. Birdsor
was arrested this morning, in caboost
car at the c., R. |. & P. freight depot, and
taken to Jail by Policeman German,
i A reporter for The ARGUS called OF
Birdson and McIlvane, at the Jail and al
the Union house, but both seemed disin
clined to give him much Information, -anG
the story as here related is the best con
and somewhat contradictory statements
Birdson is probably about % years old
single man, home in Buffalo, n Y land al
empl0ye of the c. r. & p r. r. some
or years McIlvane is some 25 year,
old, single man, parents live in Geneseo.
The examination had not taken place a
noon to-day Marshal HAYES says ther
seems to be an effort making to induce NJ
not to appear against Birdson and thus lie
him escape,-but he don't think that plal
can be carried out

A SECOND RATHER MATTHEw.-Who is
there that does not respect the memory of
Father Matthew, the great champion of
temperance. Innumerable societies bear
his honored name; but there is one man
who has struck a more sure death-blow to
intemperance, and that man is Ur. J.
Walker; an old California physician, who
has discovered in natures meek and low
ly herbs, medicinal tonic" and gentle
stimulant that completely takes the place
of the fashionable alcoholic poisons called
tones, so popular as compromise be-
tween strong drink and cold water, and
does away with the mania for drink, and
in reality cultivates an involuntary disgust
fer the same. teven does more: 1t acts
upon the entire physical system, puriies
the blood, and produces hale hardy health

whole nation. and it Is not extravagant tc

The Third Section of the Second Arti-
Gle Of the Constitution should be amended
so as to read The President shall, from
time to tune, give Senator Jones iniorma-

mend to his consideration such measures
as he shall Judge necessary and expedient. y
-CeUeland Herald Rep
President Grant is accredited with the
purpose OF breaking up the Republican
party. When the party cares so little for
its credit that it will make no effort to full
fill deliberate pledges the time cannot be
far distant fer dissolution. He is the best
friend of the organization who would once
more put it on an honest basis. If parti-
san Republicanism cannot survive the pro-
cess of rehabilitation, the mourners at the
funeral will be few, and the grief far from
heartrending - Boston transcript Rep. }
The President is drifting away from
the majority of his party about as fast as
he can aud every indication points to an
early repetition of the ,Johnsonian incident
in politics Grant does not make much of
figure in playing at having mind of his
own, but he is playing it, and the party
cannot be expected to be as lenient with
him as they were when he did nothing but
smoke and talk horse. Look out for fun

Will They Redeem A Single one Of their
Pledges?

During the discussion in the L. 5. House
of Representatives which resulted in the
Republican party abandoning its platform
in regard to Civil Service Reform, Mr.
Willard, of Vermont, who always speaks
well, said he was in favor of the appropri-
alton. He asked if there was a single
principle by which the Republican party
intends to stand. He said it was not
Trumbull or Schurz who adopted the civil
service system it was the Republican par
ty, ana he read from the platform Of the
party. Shaking his finger at Gen. Butler,
he demanded to know, How long is such
party to remain in power?"
