FISTICs AT SARATOGA.
A Georgia Judge Assaulted by = DIsaR.
pointed LdtIgant from MRssaehu-
setts-First Blood for Georgia.

Correspondence New lOEh sun
An exciting fracas occurred here to-
day Aug. I91 at the Grand, Uni Ho-
tel, The parties involved we're Judge
Schley, Of Savannah, Ga, and John A.
Kernochan, of Massachusetts,. It
seeins that a short time ago case in
volving a large amount of property, in
which Mr.. KernochaR was interested,
was decided by Judge Schley adversely
TO the interests of Mr.. Kernochan. The
decision made him very angry. His
first vengeance fell upon his lawyers,
who he charged had not dealt fairly by
him. Meantime the Judge had come
North to Saratoga, and has been
for several days a guest of the Grand
Union Hotel. Mr.. Kornochan also
came TO Saratoga, as is now supposed,
to punish the Judge. At about half
past 10 this morning, Just as the band
was getting ready to play, and when a
large number Of ladies and gentlemen
were upon the piazzas and in the cor
ridOrs, Judge Schley and Mr.. Kerno-
chan met each other near the doorway
leading from the main office and upon
the north piazza. Mr.. Kernochan,
who is a man about 80 years old, &C.
costed the Judge in very menacing
manner, an after few words struck
him heavy blow with his fist IN the
face, staggering him, and scattering
his eyeglasses over the pavement. The
Judge son recovered and struck a
powerful blow back, cutting Kerno-
chan's face and making the blood flow.
Several exchanges were made
by each party, the Judge
having the best Of it, Furnishing his
assailant pretty badly. By this time
there was great excitement; women
screamed and men swOTe. Finally thu
belligerents were separated, each as
angry as a fighting school boy. Soon
afterward Mr.. Kernochan approached
the Judge, and with a coed deal of
stern and cold politeness handed him
his card, whereupOn the Judge said In
most whitening manner, Keep your
card, young man, 1 don't want your
card. 1 can whip you any time.
This is the present ending of the
natter what else may occur IL Is diff
cult to surmise, as Kerlochan is fiery
fellow, and has come here with blood
IN his eye to do mischief.
Judge Schley is son Of ex-Gov.
Schley, of Georgia; almost fifty years
Of age. below the medium height, with
silvery white locks. He married few
years since the wealthy Mrs. Keep, of

A RRILLIANT OUTLOOK.

Looking over the entire field, the
ResO York. Herald says: In spite Of
rains and foods, army worms and
grassboppers, the crops promise to
turn out satisfactorily. The wheat
crop win not be 50 large as was hoped
and believed six weeks ago, but it viii
be an average crop. Corn promises
very well, which means a large meat
crop for shipment, and from the South
W. hear no bad news about cotton. The
floods have destroyed a good deal on
the lower Mississippi, but much less
than was feared. Elsewhere the cot
ton eports arefavorable. The European
demand for both grain and cotton viii
give rs good prices for everything we
shall have to sell, and probably brisk
demand for our products. Farmers and
planters viii make money, the railroad
people are hopeful and expect to have
q busy and profitable season, and in
the West local manufactures of differ
e0t kinds are already fully employed.
The Herald seems to fear that the
general reyivalOf industries, which this
condition OF things ought naturally to
bring about, viii be retarded by the
uncertainty that clouds the financial
future, since the currency question has
entered the arena Of politics. It's ar
gument is ingenious:
So long as no man can tell for six
months, or even SIX weeks, ahead what
viii be the real value, the buying pow
or, Of a paper dollsr-just so long
prudent men viii lock up their means
md decline to engage IN new enter
Frises, Nc matter Of what kind.
We 90 not-so interpret the chronic
cowardice 0 capital. The money
lender may have misgivings about the
sort Of currency in which his note Of
hand will be lifted" SIX months or a
year hence; for this reason, money
cannot be had on long time, although
1t Is superintendent IN the financial
centers for call loans. To our seeming,
boweyer, this very uncertainty must
tend to drive money into other invest
ments-into enterprises Of substantial
value, not depending on the auctua-
lions OF tho currency, or rather huctu-
ating with 1t IN price. We shall See
more money invested in lands, i'm
provements, factories, etc. Labor for
building and other Purposes is now the
cheapest commodity il the market,
and is product IN whatever shape
Possesses a substantial value that
would rise parj Passu with the gold
premium.

RULE OR RUIN.
Nicksburr Monitor.

If the white people DO not rule Mis-
sissippi, the negroes will soon ruin it.
1t Is no use denying or attempting to
dodge this truth. The white people
have not any more sense than is re-
CURED for the task Of self government,
and if you descend 10 the negroes to
look for rulers, you are essaying an i'm
possibility. The negroes aresimply in
capable. They lack the sense, the
brains, the civilization and the honesty
to carry on any sort of government.
We do not say the whites are perfect in
any Of these, for they are not; but they
are far superior to the blacks.

JUDGE GEORGE ". PAsCHAL, IN p
letter addressed 90 the Hon. Rsserdy
johnson, suggests the immediate ap-
plication Of Mr.. Greeley's saying that
"the right way 70 resumeis TO resume. -
He suggests that 'all merchants, man
ufacturers. printers, carriers, hotel
keepers, Isborers, and aIothers at once
value their commodities, whatever they
may be, at the gold price, as compared
with paper, and stick TO that price. -
One fact is plain, that the time to re
sumo Is not when it would be necessary
to prepare for it by buying hundreds
of millions o. gold. On the contrary,
when business is fourishing and every
greenback finds active service IN the
industries Of the country, the Secre-
tary Of the Treasury might announce
specie payments and invite sll to come
and get their gold, without danger of
being swamped. In such a stateof af-
fairs. every man would find a better
use for his greenbecks than turning
chem into metal. The business Of the
country must revive, before we can
talk nationally about resumption.
