CHICKEN FIGHT. A three day main COM
menced at Opossum HAL, yesterday, and was
largely attended by the ''sportiug" fraternity
Of this vicinity. The fighting commenced at
two o clock in the afternoon, aud did not end
until after dark. Seven matches were fought
between Washington aud Maryland birds, .
all Of which We're won BY the former, owned
aud pitted by "Cockcy" Noiand, formerly of
this city. Those who were present from this
city were plotted across the river by Jack
Nlghtensil. They started just below the ship
yard, and walked the eutirc distance with the
exception Of few yards in the middle Of the
chauncl, which they passed over in a scow. On
their return they came the same way, aud
though all got back safely, the pilot met with
au accident which nearly cost him his life, for
he broke through the ice, but was fortunate
enough to scramble out. The fight was to have
been renewed this afternoon, and, it is said,
will concluded tomorrow. The fight yesterday
was for $50 q match.

The South on its Feet.
From tie Ne1r YORK Trib


| The south was SO long conquered pro-
vince, ruled by the attorney generals quill
and held in place with the bayonets Of the
army, th.t it is hard 10 realize 'hat it is
| free at last For the first time since that
great galaxy Of states attempted t. draw
.out from the Republic, the south has a
representation in one branch u: the goy-
ernmcnt founded upon its Intelligence
| and not upon its ignorance, honestly chosen
and nJt elected in fraud and injustice.
! The gavel that fell yesterday at noon in
Washington called again into being what
WAS for three quarters Of century the
d minating influence in the Union. The
south is itself again. Bat il is not the old
self It's power has been sadly sh0rn by
its own suicidal act.
Not one Of the states which rebelled
las to-day a representative in the cabinet
or the supreme court or foreign minister
nf any Importance, and 10 one of them is
likely to put forward a claim to the pres
dency or vice presidency for many years to
come. or until the whole country shall be
come satisfied that the period of probation
is past. But it would be giving the lie to
the grandest lessons OF our history to deny
that the south is stronger and better to-
day than eyer before. 1t has rid itself of
its great weakness that seemed to be its
great strength. Whatever influence it ex-
erts now is honestly its own, represents the
votes of freemen, not the ownership of
flesh and blood. The north no longer
looks upon the south as an enemy that
must be watched and resisted: both strike
hands in good will. The reign Of the
rpet-hagger is over, an1 the south is
represented once morc-in tie lower
house at least-by men elected
by the pec,ie. and not by a conspiracy Of
aiventurers from the north, with ignorant
negroes for their dures. They are na;
perhaps such great men as.the south has
sent to the national councils in days gone
by. bat thy represent the bet sense Of
their section. They see as clearly as W
d '-perhaps they saw before We Gii-t!!nt
the war, with all its passions and hatrtls
and cruelties, has gone 10y forever. New
duties press On Us from every hand. New
and grave questions must be s"lycd; old
abuses must be righted; evil ,ioers mus
"9 found out and punished aud all tue
channels OF our official lie cleansed Of thu
impurities with which they are cl.gged
tue credit Of the nation must be maintain
ed and improved. To these and the Other
great tasks which await them we hope tC
see the southern members address them
selves in spirit worthy Of the brave anC
generous panp!e whom they represent
There is work enough, aui to SPARE, anC
, the better elements Of the north are il
leed of help.

BIBLE WINE.-In the recent synod of
the United Presbyterian church of
Scotland there was an animated, and
towards its close, very heated debate
on the old topic of :" Bible wine," in
volving the question of the use of the
fermented grape for saeramental pur-
poses. The use of fermented wine at
the Lords Supper it was argued by
some of the disputants, justifies its gen.
eral use, and is inconsistent with the
doctrine of total abstinence. Professor
Calderwood, of the University of Edin-
burgh, took strong ground in favor of
fermentel wine as the only true Bible
wine and he has carried his point, the
synod by decisive vote refusing to
sanction the use of unfermented grape
juice as an appropriate symbol of the
blood of Christ. This action of the
legislature of the Scottish Church will
seem scandalous to some of our total
abstinence extremists, who have for n
good many years found terrible block
in Paul's advice to Timothy, and in
the miracle of the Saviour on the we'd
ding feast, when he turned water into
wine,
