SALEM, n. j., Oct. 24.-The trial of the
Pennsville prize fighters, which was down
for to-day, has been postponed until Tues
day next.
TRIAL OF PROMINENT PUGILIsTs FOR PARTIoI-
alPAIIoN IN THE FATAL FIGHT AT PENNsvILLE,
N. IA GLOOMY PROSPECTS FOR THE PRO-
FEssoRs OF "rHE NOBLE ART"
SALEM, N. j., Oct. .23.-The trials of James
Weeden, Sam Collyer, Fiddler Neary, Rich
ard Goodwin, alial Spring Dick, and Johnny
Clark, all jointly indicted for murder in hav-
ing caused the death of young Walker the
prize fighter, last August, in the ring, eight
miles distant from here, at a place called
Pennsville, will commence tomorrow morn
ing. providing the defence is ready,
as the prosecuting counsel, Alfred Slape
representing the State of New Jersey, is
ready. The trial will take place in the
Court House, in Market street, which is
next door to the county Jail, in which the
prize fighters are confined.
GLOOMY OUTLOOK.
Probably no prize fighters were ever
placed in as serious predicament in the
United States as these five mon are in at
pretent, but they do not realize the fact, as
| thev are in good spirits and eat their three
meals every day. All the five men will
have to suffer the same penalty, if convict
| ed and as the Indictment is for murder
| there is very little chance for fun in the
| matter The trial will take place in the
Court Of Oyer and Terminer of Salem coun-
ty, before Judge Alfred Reed, assisted by
Judges MOskell, Ware and William sum
nell.
Fiddler Neary will be defended by Harry
L. Hope, of Woodstown, and Sam Oollyer,
James Weeden and Spring Dick will We
for counsel Hon. James M. Scoville, of
Camden, assisted by Harry L. Hope. Col
onel Valentine, of Hackettstown, will de-
fend Johnny Clark, who is a pugilistiC
savant of distinction in Philadelphia. The
State will be represented by Hon. Albert Il.
Shape, of Salem, and possibly some Other
lawyer.
WITNESSES UNWILLING TO APPEAR.
The result of the trial is looked for with
considerable interest, as it will settle for.
ever the status of prize fighters in the
State of New Jersey. A number of wit
nesses could be procured for the defence
and it is said that their testimony would
materially aid it,; but any that were present
at the fight on appearing in this town would
be arrested by the Sheriff Immediately, ant
for this reason Arthur Chambers and Ton
Reilly, of Philadelphia, have refused tt
come as witnesses, thus leaving the defence
in bad position, as it is limited that they
could testify that Walker died of exposure
after the fight had occurred, were all wit
nesses granted immunity from prosecution
by the State.

Tildcn and the Germans.

The New York Zeitung, a journal
that has larger circulation than all
the German papers in the country, has
this to say of Mr.. Tilden, and its ut
terances may be fairly accepted as an
indication of the drift of German SEN
ment:
Our sympatbies in the approaching
struggle are with Samuel J. Tilden,
not because but Notwithstanding he is
the nominee of the Democratic party.
1t is not by hollow phrases but by
wcighty deeds that Tilden has proved
himself the representative of reform
But what is Hayes q? He is the nom
inee of party which claims indem-
nifty for eight years of disagreement
on the strength Of its great services
in the past ; which demands the con-
lidence of the people without Offering
guarantees for the future, for it has as
good as thrown on one side the only
practicable reformer in its ranks, Ben
jamin Bristow. If words express
thoughts, then the Republican party
in its entirety is identified with Grant
ism, otherwise it could not, in its plat
form, have offered the warmest thanks
to the National Administration, and
particularly to President Grant, for
honorable fullillment of pledges. "
Under existing circumstances, the vic
tory of the Republican candidate
could only be desirable if the opposi-
ton, in its nominations and declaration
of principles, offered something abso-
lutely worse and this is not the case.
Tilden and Hendricks are quite as
honorable, and at least as important
men aslIayes & Wheeler, and, as for
the two platforms, the Democratic,
Of which reform is the beginning
and the end, has many advantages
over the Republican.

General Custer.

The press of the country are de-
nouncing Grant in round terms for
the death OF Custer. That he was
deprived of his command on account
of his daring to testify to the truth in
in the post ,raderships, is a fact well
known to the American people. Be-
low we quote from the New York
Herald:
Gen. Clusters desperate hardihood
in riding Into the jaws Of death. into
the mouth of hell" was a natural con-
sequence of the treatment he had re-
ccived from the President. General
Custer was n man whose mental or
ganization made him peculiarly vul-
nerable to the sting of disgrace. 1t
is only an impetuous man Of quick
and almost boiling sensibilitics that
can make such bold, dashing cavalry
officer as Gen Custer had shown him
self to be. Had he been in command
of the campaign sense of RESPONSE
billty would have restrained and tenn
pered his impetuosity. But this
brave soldier had been rendered ,lcs-
peratc by i'll usage, and when death
was set in one eye and honor in the
other" be courtcd 4 heroic death rath-
er than endure the disgrace which the
cold malignity Of the President had
attempted to pat upon him. 1t would
be hardly too severe to say to Prcsi-
dent Grant, "Behold Your hands I!
they are red with the blood Of Custer
and his brave three hundred" The
sun of General Grants Administra-
ton seems to be going down in an
eclipse. Alike in its earlier and it's
later stages, it is an expression of the
personal humors of the President but
his earlier humors were more amiable
and kindly. President Grant is end
ing in worse spirit than he began,
and the country, accordingly, awaits
with deep interest the letter of accep-
lance Of Mr.. Hayes. Will be lndorse
this Administration, or VIII he boldly
wash bis hands in it? The citizens
of this Republic are anxious to learn
whether Grantism will end with the
retirement of Grant, or whether Gov.
ernor Hayes, if elected President, will
sail the ship by the same compass and
the same political chart. The country
will stand anything rather than a
prolonged reign of GraDtism. On
this point Governor Hayes must leave
the people in no doubt. If he lacks
the courage or the sagacity or the indie
pendence to tell the country unequiv-
ocally that he will put the Admins
tratiOn on a new course be will miss
that eide in the affairs of men" hich
leads on to fortune.

Some hard questions for the Audi
TO answer, propounded by the State
Register (Rad.) as follows:
Auitor johnson desires to keep his
place, and comes before the people
asking for their votes. He is said to
be an elegant gentleman, and strongly
in favor of that reform that is arknowl-
edged as necessity, before the coun-
try can prosper. The State Register,
representing that large and influential
portion of the Republican party in
this State that desires reform of a
practical character would like TO sup
port Mr.. johnson for Auditor, and in
order that we may be able to demon
s'rate beyond any bubble his fitness
for the office, on behalf of the respect
able Republicans referred to, we beg
to ask him two or three questions.
First. What is the reason that
since you have been in the Aditor's
office no statement has been publish
ed, as required by law, showing the
amount of money in the Treasury,
and specifying to which particular
fund it belongs /?
Second. How much money was
to the credit o: the interest fund,
July LIST, and from what funds was
the money taken up to make up sufli-
cient amount to pay the interest due
on that date?
Third. What amonnt has been
received by you for Auditors Certi-
fcates of redemption since you have
been in office. and of which you are
allowed by law ten thousand dollars
per year, and what amount received
from this source have you turned into
the Treasury?
"A satisfactory reply to these ques-
tons will ensure to Mr.. johnson the
cordial support of the State Register
and consequently his election by the
people next November.

lie Declares for Tilden.

Not long since Ex-Gov. Sam Bard,
late postmaster ut Atlanta, established
a campaign paper at Mobile, called
the Globe The Globe was intended
to support the Republican party and
its nominees, and when Hayes and
Wheeler were nominated at Cincin-
natti the Ex-Governor promptly ran
up their names to the mast head of
the Globe Two weeks later brought
the convention at st. Louis, and with
it came the nomination of Samuel j
Tilden, the great reform Governor,
with Thomas A. Hendricks, the Gov
ernor of Indiana, as the candidate for
the Vice-Presidency. As an anli-bel-
lum Democrat, this ticket as all that
Tx. Governor Bard could ask, and %,
like an honest man, he changes front
and direction, hauls down the pirate
flag of ring thieves, the whiskey
thieves, and all the other plundering
rings, and filings to the breeze the
broad banner of the Constitution and
reform, and declares openly for Til
den and Hendrick. Here is what the
old veteran says.
No moderate Southern Republican
can consistently Object either to the
platform or the able patriotic candi-
dates placed upon it. 1t freely
and fully accepts the Constitutional
Amendments, together with all the
Legitimate results Of the late unfort-
innate war. Upon this all-important
and vital point, conservative Repub-
licans can ask no more. The people
know tina: we have worked with un-
tagging energy for the entire consul
nation of this most desirable result,
and as the great National Democratic
party now stands where We stood
eight years ago, we fail to discern
even the shadow Of a solid reason
why we should not promptly re-
return to the fold we felt forced to
leave ut the close of the late disas-
trous war, which left our brave and
gallant people PROSTATE in the dust of
misfortune, and, VIC may add, abject
poverty. We honestly gave in our
adhesion to the National Republican
party (not state factions) as q sacred
duty to the South as we'll as 10 the
whole country. but nor that it is no
onger especially potent for the pre-
mt aud future welfare Of The nation,
NC hid ii u pleasant aud kind farewell,
