Pa, two men named Weldon and
Walker engaged in a prize fight
About one thousandroughs were pres
ent tc witness the combat. Sixty-two
rounds were fought. On the last round
Walker fell and never recovered. The
next morning his bruised body was
found dead on q wharf where it had
been left. He was only about twenty
years old. An officer tried to stop the
fight but was prevented by the large
crowd of brutes present. Weldon and
several others of his gang have been
arrested. The full penalty of the law
against murder should be WeedOn's
punishment.

The result of the Changers revolt
against the grain ring in San Francis
Co will be watched with interest. The
ring stood between the farmers and
the ships, and prevented them from
exporting on their own account, or
without paying heavy tribute to the
middlemen. They have now united,
agreed to sell no corn for less than
$l.65 bushel and are arranging to
charter vessels on their own account.

The President is in Earnest.

President Grant, says the Wash
ington Republic, was never NOR earn
est than he is to-day. His determina-
to use all constitutional means to put
down political assassinations, and
have the polls kept open, is not to be
trified with. Nor is the temper of the
North to be trified with. The elec-
ton in the South must be as safe and
as free for Republican citizens, white
or black, as in the States of Vermont
or Massachusetts. Let the Southern
Democracy take a note of this. 1t
may be for their comfort. And to
show how thoroughly the work of
protection Is to be done, and how busy
the proper officers are In making pre-
parations for 1t, the following infor-
nation is made public as to carrying
out the election laws:
The Attorney General is preparing,
and will in few days issue, specific
instruction to the United States mar
shals in every State in the Union, in
structing them as to their duties and
rights under the election laws. The
object of the administration, as stated
by the Attorney General, is to secure
to every citizen, in Massachusetts, as
well as in the South Carolina, his full
rights under the law. The marshaIs
having once been instructed as to
| their rights under the law will be eX-
pected to enforce them; and If they
cannot do this with the usual force at
their command, then the military
will be sent to assist them.
Under the order issued to General
Sherman there will be no present
| change in the stations of troops in
any of the States, North or South,
| but the order itself will be issued in
the form of general order, and sent
to all the officers commanding divis-
ions, departments, and posts, and they
will regard it as O sufficient notice to
hold all their troops in readiness to
answer any legal demand that may
he made upon them TO assist In exc
cutting the law. General Sherman, in
speaking of this order, says he does
not believe it Is the intent ton of the
President to interfere unduly in the
affairs of any State, but thinks that
the President has determined, as far
as lies in his power, there shall be a
fair and peaC cable election in every
State in the Union. even if all the
available force of the army must be
used to protect their rights.

The is one charge that should be
made against Tilden without further
delay, and before so mauy are made
that there will not be room for any
more, and that is that "hestole Charles
Ross. "-PhiLddelphin Times.
So many serious charges are made
against Mr.. Tilden, aOith the proof to
back them. that it is not necessary to
make false charges, even by the most
INSCRIPTIONS or over Jealous parti-
sans. The truth is bad enough. Til
den has made his own unenviable
record, which damns him in the eyes
of all good men as thoroughly as if he
were in reality child thief. A man
who will connive with thief to stuff
ballot box with fraudulant tickets Is
equally as mean as the thief himself,
and q thief Is a thief whether he
steals children or money. The man
who would put upon record false
oath to cheat his government out of a
few dollars of tax, Is meaner man
than the man who stole little
Charley Ross. The naked truth is
sufficient to dispose of Mr.. Tilden's
case.

The relations of the United States
with foreign powers continue on friendly
footing. Questions have arisen from time
70 time in the foreign relations of the gov
eminent, but the United States have been
happily free, during the past year, from the
complications and endorsements which
have surrounded some of the foreign Pow
ers. The diplomatic correspondence SUBJ
mitted herewith contains information as to
certain of the matters which have occupied
the government. The cordiality which at.
tends our relations with the Powers of the
earth has been plainly shown by the gen
eral participation of foreign nations in the
exhibition which has Just ceased, and BY
exertions made by distant Powers to show
their interest and friendly feeling toward the
United States in commemoration of the
centennial of the nation. The government
and people of the United States have not
only fully appreciated this exhibition of
kindly feeling, but it may be justly and
fairly expected that no small benefits will
result, both to ourselves and other nations.
from better acquaintance and q better
appreciation of our mutual advantages
and mutual benefits.

The report of the Secretary shows that
the army has been actively employed dur
ing the year in subduing, at the request Of
the Indian Bureau, certain wild bands of
tire Sioux Indian nation, and in preserving
peace at the South during the cleo ton.
The commissioners constituted under the
act Of July "a, 1876, to consider and re-
port on the whole subject of the reform
and reorganization of the whole army, met
in August last, and has collected a large
mass of statistics on points bearing on the
subject before it. These are now under
consideration, and their report is progress
sing. l am advised, though, by the Presi
dent of the Commission, that it will be
to comply with the clause of
the act requiring report to be presented
through me to Congress on the first day of
the session, as there has not been time for
that mature elaboration which the impor-
lance Of the subject demands therefore,
| ask that the time of making the report be
extended to the 18th day of January, 1877.
10 accordance with the resolution of Au.
gust, Is, 1876, the army regulations pre-.
pared under the act of March LIST, 1875,
nave not been promulgated, but are held
until after the report of the above mention
I'd commission shall have been received
md acted upon. By the act of August Is,
S76, the cavalry force ofthe army was in,
:ressed BY $500 men, with proviso that
hey should be discharged at the expiration
Il hostilities. Under this authority the
avalry regiments have been strengthened

artment are made up on the basis of the
lumber of men authorized by law, and
