\ shooting nffair occurred near tho
AnZcris house, at about o'clock to-
day, between two hnckmcn; Harry
Bear and Jim Callahan. It seems that
Callahan has for few days been drink
ing too much tire-water, md when III
that condition is very quurrclsomc.
Yesterday he attacked Bear, kicking
him severely. To-day he resumed tho
attack by ficrcely assaulting Dear from
behind, when Bear tlrew small pistol
and fired, tho ball passing through
Calahnn's eiothsc, but did not touch his
person. Bear gave himself up 10 un

NEw YorK, August 1.
The Nerdlds Saratoga special says
Tilden has nearly completed his letter
OF acceptance, and in it will demonstrate
that tho st. Louis platform docs not
pledge the party 10 tho immediate re-
peal Of the resumption act, but only
pledges it 10 substitute measures which
Will lead to q practical resumption Mt IN
carly period. Ho thinks, if elected,
the policy Of reform he intends to carry
out would save fifty millions II yesr, or,
PERHAPS, even larger sum than that,
and that the surplus fRnd Thus created
would cnsblo specie payments 10 be re-
sumed before tho end OF the second
year of his administration. IIo thinks
that forced resumption would create a
panic, nud that after tho Presidential
election sllall be dcciIcd, nll parties
will favor tho repeal Of tire clause fixing
the date TO resume specie payments.
He will put the financial question so
plainly and explicitly in his letter, it is
said, as to show SO plainly tho insin-
ccrity OF the Republican party in CHI
acting tho resumption clause that the
people cannot fail te see the wisdcIu Of
his opposition-narncly, that n return TO
specie payments will naturally end
speedily follow, and that public pros
pority will result from tho honesty and
economy hc will instill in tho admins
tration of the Government.
Governor Hendricks letter will not
give any encouragement to tho soft
money men.
