A QUADRurEpAL Row.--Tha lead
ing attraction Sunday on the street, as
far as our reportorial eye could OBJ
serve, was spirited contest between
couple of well made and pugnacious
CANNES. The diflicu ty between them
arose out OF some matters that were
quite occult to the understanding as
often occurs with dogs and men, but
the battle was wagcd with the same
bitterness and to the great apparent
entertainment of the bystanders.
Nothing will attract a crowd so quick
rs a fight. Men who naturally have
repugnance to fighting on the
soundest moral principles generally
Sravitate towards II row ont of pgre
instinct, as it were. This fight that
we speak Of took place merry oppo-
site the Silver House, and furnished
diversion for respectable audience.

TIE BATTLE GROUND.

The political aspect Of so many Of the
States have been SO clearly foreshadowed
that really the area upon which the i'm
pending PRESIDENT campaign will be
decided 10 that covered BY tho State Of
New York. As the Empire State goes.
90 will the Union. At this early period.
such declaration may seem Premature.
bat w think il is not less true. In dis
cussiug this question the N. Y. Herald,
leaving out New York. gives 172 electoral
votes to the Democrats and 162 to the
Republicans and thus shows that the
thirty-Hvs votes Of New York cast on
either side decides the election. In
classifying the States. the Herald assigns
oil the Southern States excepting Florida
to the Democrats and also Colorado,
California. Oregon and Nevada. For the
Republicans are classed all the north
eastern States excepting New York. Con-
pecticut and New Jersey and all the
Wcbbotn Ototco cACcpttu6 AHe"S"p SS'S
RADIO and the Pacific States. For our
own part, We ore inclined to place Colo
RADIO, California, Nevada and Oregon in
the doubtful list. In fact, II the Demo-
Gratis carry all the Southern States ex.
cepting South Carolina and Florida
with Connecticut, New jersey and In.
diana, the results depends entirely upon
New York. Under those conditions,
whichever way Nevada, California. Ore.
gon and Colorado may incline, will moi
affect the result. Without New Yorl
neither party eau win. The count Is
made thus. The vote Of the Southern
States including West Virginia and eI
cluding South Carolina aud Florida fig
ures up 1877; ,ldd Connecticut. New Jer
soy and Indiana, 80 in all, makes l67. II
to those States New York falls into thu
Democratic ranks that party will cleo
its nominee. New York therefore mus
be the battle ground Of the Presidential
struggle.

Frisette came along with another

John Sullivan, the prize fighter, who
was knocked out Of time by a single
blow from the fist OF James TrevilliaD,

manner in which the authorities went
after Bussey for issuing challenge to
Bing Williams, Sullivan has q natural
reluctance to use the columns OF the
press to inform his late adversary that he
is not only willing but eager to put W
his props in the P. q. again. He bat
nearly 81 900 ready to put up for Ugh
with Trevillian, to take place within ter
miles of this city. Sullivan is convinced
that somebody put up a job on him IL

entered the ring be felt drowsy ant
stupid. 1t is his opinion that some one
to him at present unknown. dosed hin
with some sort of narcotic, otherwise b
would never have laid himself open L
the blow which foored him. 1t Is no
his intention to issue q challenge publicly
but 1t is likely from Sullivan's talk. tina

A Tribune Washington special says:
Grant is said to have heard more of what
has been going on about him tho last
week, since Babcock has been relieved
from duty, than during his whole ad-
ministration. From his first Inaugural
ton he has known or seen nothing tx
cept through Porter and Babcock. They
guarded jealousy oil avenues to his
presence when at home and accompanied
him abroad; the mails passed through
their hands; in short. the President has
been living in false atmosphere aud he
was like man waking up from dream,
and though be cannot escape there is at
leat little comfort in believing the
President is not personally dishonest.
but led astray.
Glad to hear It, We trust that no
man who flls the great Office OF Psesi-
dent OF the United States will ever be
proved to be guilty Of the ineffably dis
graceful crime of stealing. To man in
such position such a crime would be
more villainous than any other offence.
Whoever may be guilty oil American
citizens will unite in praying that the
mantle OF the President will prove to b
unstained.

A Herald Washington special says:
Grant is credited with exclaiming to-day:
" l wish to heaven the 4th OF March,
1877, WAS at hand" and then going on
to philosophize over the fact that the ap-
poin.ments Of his personal friends have
been failures and betrayals, while politi-
cal party appointments are great sue
cesses. In fact, all kinds of rumors are
flying tonight about Grant and his late
Secretary. The President is greatly
grieved and mortified about the safe
burglary developments. Whitely's state
ment staggered the best friends OF Bah.

That christian soldier, General How.
ard, again comes to the front. The
Generals christianity, like Beecher's, is
not in very good odor just now. Some
how that kind Of religion does not keep the
professors hands from picking and steal
ing and their tongues from evil speaking.
That Freedman's Bureau and Freed
mans Bank business will stick to the
christian General IL he lives to the age
OF Methuselah. That being the case the
christian Generals testimony that il il
unwise to transfer the care Of the In.
dams to the military, is very apt to pro-
duce an impression the direct reverse to
that which the christian General desires
to produce.

Every year increases the popularity
of this valuable Hair Preparation;
which is due to merit alone. We can
assure our old patrons that it is kept
fully up to its high standard; and it
is the only reliable and perfected prep
aration for restoring GRAY OR FADED
HAIR to its youthful color, making it
soft, lustrous, and silken. The scalp,
by its use, becomes white and clean.
It removes all eruptions and dandruf,
and, by its tonic properties, prevents
the hair from falling out, as it stimu-
lates and nourishes the hair-glands.
BY its use, the hair grows thicker and
stronger. In hal1n oss. r. rnstores the
capillary glands to their normal vigor,
and will create new growth, except
in extreme old age. It is the most
economical HAIR DRESSING ever used,
as it requires fewer applications, and
gives the hair a splendid, glossy ap-
pearance. A. A. Hayes, MD, State
Assayer of Massachusetts,, says, "The
constituents are pure, and carefully
selected for excellent quality; and l
consider it the BEST PREPARATION
for its intended purposes"

the plea is want of proper notice to the
"heirs" when, the will was read, and
improper influences on the part of
Henry Hilton and others unknown" ;"
The movers are the Turney family in
this country, who claim to be heirs at
law. The number of claimants, of
more or lessremote degree of frelation-
ship,-generally less,-is said to be
large. Other measures are resorted to,
to extort money from the widow and
principle legatee. Mrs. Stewart is
daily in the receipt of Begging and
threatening letters, many pretending
to come from her husband through
spiritual mediums, who wish to obtain
money, ----'
