A Contemplate Street Brasvl
and Fight.

On Saturday evening last, party Of some
5 or col0red darkies, residents of this place,
who after indulging too freely in John Bar
ley Corn, concluded to see the sights and
have some fun suited to their peculiar condi-
ton. After staggering about the streets
for some time and indulging in a few knock
downs, they hauled up. about / l clock, in
front Of the Washington Hotel, which they
found closed. One of the colored party, it
is stated, opened the shutters Of one of the
windows, when John Forker, Tom. Murphy
and others, who were in the bar-room, came
out to see what was wanted. As is always
the case when all hands are willing, a gener-
al fight was got up in short order, and clubs
and stones were used very carelessly, one
stone hitting John Forker on the side of the
head, and cutting open his scalp badly, when
John took down his position on the side walk
Charley Adams, (colored) received blow
with a club between the peepers and not
knowing exactly what to do, he concluded to
take his position down by the curb stone
where he quietly sat during the fight
Frank Ray, another colored billigerent, who
was accused of throwing the stone that injur-
ed Forker, who some time previously struck
Ray on the head with bottle, was pursued
and captured in privy, near the Street
Railway Cos. coal office, and after his cap
ture was most shamefully pounded about the
head, and cut severely over one of his eyes
Thus ended most dastardly and disgrace
ful street brawl and fight for all concerned.
We learn no arrests were made nor were any
attempted. Is this the way to maintain the
public peace? We learn that officer Keener
was on the ground during part of the dis

BefgF- Are we ready? Tuesday next is the
first day of the Fair, and the question whether
we are ready or not becomes an interesting one.
Let us bestir ourselves for the few days yet and
see if something more than we have thought OF
cannot be got ready towards making this effort
of the board of managers an immense success.
1t would be disgraceful for us after all that
President DeYoung, and his co-laborers in the
management have done if we should allow the
Fair to end in fizzle or any thing but tri-
umph. SO let us look around and hunt up our
fruits, and our flowers, and our grains and po-
tatoes, our horses and our cattle, and our good
butter and bread and cakes, our good home
made wine and cider, our pigs and our cradle
spreads and bed spreads, and mechanical tri-
umphs, our sheep and our every thing else that
will go to make such an exhibition as Monroe
county can make, if she has only made up hel
mind to try. We have had good fairs even
in the past but we can beat them all and wont
have to strain ourselves either. Let us do it
Let us show the distinguished strangers sojour
ming in our midst that we are perfectly at home
in the getting mp and enjoyment of every thing
that goes 10 make our homes pleasant and life
comfortable.

The Maine State Election.

AUGUSTA, Sept. 14.-Speaker Blaine
has just sent the following despatch to
President Grant -
"The result Of our election is in all re-
spects satisfactory We have carried every
Congressional district, have a majority,
think, in every county in the State
owe have chosen twenty-nine or thirty
Senators to one by the Democrats have
elected three-fourths of the popular branch
of the Legislature, and have given Cover
nor Dingleya majority, according to present
appearance, of between II 900 and l2,OOO
a handsome gain on last years vote"
Speaker Blaine runs considerably ahead
of the Governors vote AS nearly as can
be estimated now Burleigh carries the First
District by 1000 majority, Frye the Second
by $500, Speaker Blaine the Third by
5000, Hersey the Fourth by $500, and
Mr.. Hale the Fifth by nearly 5000.
The State Legislature is almost unani-
mously Republican in the Senate, and about
three-fourths Republican in the House.
There was a good deal of cutting on Legis-
lative tickets, owing to the contest for
United State Senator.

Bzg% We are pleased to see that our old
friend, Robert " Kiple, former resident
Of this county and well known to our citizens
has been placed in nomination by the Demo
Gratis Of Wayne for the office of County Trea-
suer. Robert is one of the best Of boys and
has bat the single drawback of being Demo
crat against him. Notwithstanding this,
however, as he has been nominated in a
Democratic county, and as the only redeem
ing feature Of the ticket nominated by his
party, VIC hope to see him elected.

ga~ The Democracy of Wayne county, in
accordance with its usual action has nomna-
ted VIM. II. Dimmick, of legislative black
mailing notoriety for the Office of President
Judge Of the 22d Judicial district. fit were
possible for the party to do any thing more
disgraceful than this we should cease to feel
surprzcd over Mr.. Dimmick nomination.
How the Convention could overlook the good
men presented for the nomination, and fall
back upon so complete a scalawag is beyond
honest comprehension. Thank God, We are
wholly cut loose from political and Judicial
association with that county. There is a
hope that the action of Waynes Democracy
will be defeated.

Tor If that is sustained Canada must come

The Sunday Law in Pennsylvania.

HARRISBURG, Sept 4.-In the test case
brought by the Sunday League, Judge
Pierson has decided that transgressor of
the Sunday laws can be fined for each and
every sale of cigars or merchandise during
Sunday. This is the first decision Oh this
point in Pennsylvania. Under the English
law only one fine for the entire Sunday
could be imposed. Judge Picrson also de
cided that house having hotel license
can sell ice cream or estables to citizens or
transient customers.

Do not mistake the following morceau
from the New York Commerjcdl 1drertjSe1
for satire 1t is merely the simple, homely
truth:
"The Republicans having placed on
their State ticket in Pennsylvania General
Beath, who lost his leg in the war and kept
the field to the end, the Democrats looked
around for a soldier, and found one. But
it appears that their General, McCandless,
was offered a Brigadiership to tempt him
into the field, and then declined to go

Latta, the Democratic candidate for
Lieutenant Governor, made an active can,
vass of his own county, few weeks before
the Democratic State Convention was held
as a candidate for Congress, and was
beaten 500, by his own immediate neigh
bors. They know him, and that is the
way they testify their appreciation of him
The Democrats of Westmoreland have
passed their verdict upon him, that he is
unfit to go to Congress and if unfit for
that, how can he be fit for Lieutenant Gov
ernor?
Judge Olmstcd, on the contrary, was
received, on his return home from the Re
publican State Convention, with perfect
ovation, which was participated in by
Democrats and Republicans alike. His
fellow-citizens know him, just as the West
moreland people know Latta; but they
turn out en- naaSSe to greet him, whilst the
Democrats of Westmoreland regard Latta
as too poor an object even to send to Con
gress.

Moulton came out last Saturday with
another extremely verbose statement of his
relations with Beecher and Tilton. 1t is
devoted to the defence of his own conduct
and to proving Beecher criminally guilty.
Moulton repeats what he said before about
Beechers confession of adultery, and now
declares that it was made in the presence
of another person, who can be produced
Tie also asserts that the immoral relations
between Beecher and Mrs Tilton continued
after the confession was made. Moulton
says that he has kept all these things secret
to screen Beecher from disgrace, but now
that Beecher has turned against him he
feels + compelled to expose him. 1t is pitt
tul story of human weakness and moral
depravity. There are those who regard it
as conclusive against Beecher, and insist
that 1t is now impossible for him to regain
his ground. We prefer to think that his
justification is not yet beyond hope.
