In the fourteenth round Thornton got, his
second wind, but Mclaughlin was in bad
way and gasping for breath.
Thornton led off with his left in terrible
fashion. 1t was parried. His right darted
after it and caught Mclaughlin on the left
side, and broke his two lower ribs. Scarcely
a seconds breathing time was allowed The
parties feared interruption, and put their
men hotly at it. They were both covered
with blood.
In the twenty-second round Mclaughlin
came up like a sacrifice. He had scarcely
taken position when Thorntons right struck
him full upon the forehead like cannon
shot. He sank upon both knees anc
his head fell upon his shoulders
Gentlemen" he said, "Im licked
and with that he sank all in heap. Nc
Loughlin's seconds threw up the sponge
and carried their man to wagon, In which
he was taken to the tavern.

Gen Shields has been interviewed by cor
respondents of the Kansas City Times and 9th.
er papers, and in all of them rldcules the idea
of his accepting the position of doorkeeper of
the house, especially at the hands of a party
that excluded him from seat in the house to
which he had been elected by 5000 majority.
The very proposition is little less than an in.
suit In view of his services in the army, how.
ever, in which he was broken down in health
and fortune, he thinks his appointment as a
brigadier general on the retired list would be
a simple act of justice. Of course as this can
only be done by republican administration,
and is therefore hopeless the democrats in the
house did the next best thing in their power
by voting him pension of 800 month, in
which the senate will probably concur.

The confessions of McLin and Dennis, the
played-out Florida carpet-baggers are the latest
instances of rascals turning states evidence in
the hope of reward. Failing to receive fat ap-
pointments at Hayes's hands, they have now
betaken themselves to Tilden's bar'l.-Chicago
JOayudi.
McLin was appointed by Hayes to judge
ship in New Mexico for his rascality in secur-
Ing his election, and Dennis to a lucrative po-
sition in the treasury. That is how these
worthless failed" to be rewarded at Hayes :
hands. There Is not scoundrel living who
had any hand in the Justification Of the Flori-
da and Louisiana election returns but has been
literally rewarded by Hayes, either as direct
reward for his rascality or to secure his silence.
The prompt rewarding Of the thieves by Hayes
establishes his completely in the frauos so com
pletelv that none but born fool doubts it.
