The AIieuIEOss Fight.

CINCINNATI, September 5.-There
are already many strangers in the city
drawn thither by the approaching Goss-
Allen mill. The pugill'ts gave $4,000
bail each, to-day, not to fight IN the
state of Ohio. Their attendance in the
court attracted much attention. 1t is
rumored that the fight will occur IN
Owen county, Kentucky, on the line OF
the Louisville Short Line railroad, also
that the crowd in attendance will inter-
fere to prevent Allen from winning the
fight. Pool selling tonight was fail
ure, owing TO the absence of bidders.

reply to the Emperor Of Germany's let
ter of congrstulation on the occasion OF
the Centennacy of American indepen-
dence:
Ulysses S. Grant, President Of the United
States of America, TO William, Emperor
of Germany, King Of Prussia, &c, &C.,
great and good friend:
Your letter of June 9th, in which
you were pleased to offer your
cordial congratulations upon the oc.
sasion Of our Centennial anniversary,
which we have recently celebrated, was
placed in my hands on the Fourth of
July, and its contents were perused with
unfeigned satisfaction. Such expressions
of sympathy for the past progress of this
country and of the good wishes for its
further welfare as are contained in that
communication are more gratifying be-
cause they proceed from the
Head OF n Great Empire
with which this republic, during the
whole century fits existence, has main
tanned relations of peace and friendship,
which have been conspicuous alike in
prosperity and IN adversely and have be-
came continually frmer with increasing
progress and prosperity of both coun-
tries. 1t is my sincere desire that this
mutual cordiality and this prosperity,
which have been the lot OF the two coun-
tries during the
First Century OF our Independence
may be vouchsafed to them during the
century which is to come. Wishing
you a long regime of health and happi.
ness, l pray God that he may have your
majesty in his safe and holy keeping.
By the President, L. 5. GRANT.

SHERMAN AND VOORHEES,.
Sherman.

CHICAGO, September 5.-The Tribune S
Columbus City, Indiana, special says, sc.
cording to arrangement Senator Sher
man and ID. w. voorhees, met in joint
debate here to-day in the public square.
At least 5000 people were present,
equally divided between the two par
ties.
Senator Sherman opened with . speech
an hour long, full Of logic and argument.
He pointed out the distinctive differences
between Republican and Democratic
parties He said they existed now as
they ever have. The Republican cause
was the cause of good government, good
morals, public honor and national safety.
The Democratic party was composed Of
disloysl and reasonable elements which
are Inimicsble to law, order and public
safety,
In discussing the finance question he
said he was the another Of the resump-
lion act and gladly acknowledged
the paternity Of that measure.
The resumptlsn OF specie payments
at the earliest possible moment Is the
only path to prosperity. He believed
that the national currency could be re-
deemed on or before the date fixed by
the present law. II, however, it should
be found impracticsble, Congress had
plenty Of time 10 take whatever steps
may be needed between this and 1879
He srrsigned the Democratic party Tor
its hypocrisy on this question. The st.

money and one soft money man, and
placed them on platform which can be
construed different He warned the
greenback men not to be deluded into
believing that Tilden sympathized with
them. He discussed the result OF the
restoration of the Democracy TO power,
which he declared would be calsmitous
Millions would be allowed TO go from
the National treasury for the payment Of
Confederate claims.
Voorhees,.
Mr.. Voorhees, spoke an hour and a
quarter. He spoke Of the hard times
and the great financial distress,
brought about, he declared, by Re
publican corruption and incspacity, and

return CT the Democracy. The Demo
cratic National platform is opposed to
the resumption bill. II is accomplished
by the operation of the natural laws,
while acknowledging gold and silver as
the only true basis OF currency. He de-
MED the charge that the Democratic
party was disloysl, and claimed
that the Democratic House had made
such worthy record in reducing
the expenditures, and repeating part

dent.
Senator Sherman IN reply reminded
VOORHEES, that he had oBitted mention
OF TildeH, and anslyz zed the reduction OF
the House in the appropriation OF
bills.
Mr. VOORHEES, in fifteen minutes clos
ing, eulogizcd Tilden heartily. Both
speeches were courteous, Sherman's
more logical, VOORHEES, more rhetorical.
