A Great Christian Statesman.

The Hon. Elisha W. keyes, of
Madison, spoke upon the political
issues of day, Mt the City Hall in
this city OH Thursday evening last.
His advent was proclaimed for
some time previous, and many
were anxious to see and hear the
man who by his christian graces
has won n place in the affections Of
nearly every citizen in Wisconsin.
The hostility heretofore exhibited
towards Hon. Mr.. Reyes by d few
petty Republicans ofthis city, which
has been subject of ridicule
among people elsewhere through
out the State, has long been
thought by our citizens to have
been on account of II political quar-
rel with Mr.. Keyes. But we are
glad to state such has not been the
case. The quarrel was purely u re-
ligious one. Mr,Keyes did not belong
to Moilctts, Wilson's, Doc Viyian's
and Billy Benefits church, but
they have recently joined his,
and now the quarrel Is ended.
On Thursday night Mr., Reyes
spoke for about two hours and
n half. lie told some truths of Dem
ocractic rascality in office, of Demo-
cratic murders III the South, and OF
Democratic treason in the north.
lie fought over again, as II were, the
war of the rebellion. At times his
righteous Indignation rose to such
n height that many Democrats
in the audience feared and trem-
bled. lie pointed out the evils
which would surely follow should
the Democrats come into power,
He plainly showed that the polit.
ical and religious interests Of the
country would alone be safe when
placed in the hands of the Rcpub-
lean party which is guided and
controlled by such christian states,

Fosters majority over Ewing is

White and Black.

Below are extracts from Sir George Camp
BELLS new book, white and Black in which
are set forth the results of observations made
by him, during tour of the South year ago.
No one will say that he, a Scotchman, is a
preiudiced witness He has the following to
say of the political condition of South Carolina
AS general result of all that have been
able to learn about the elections in this part of
the country, may say that there does not seem
to be the least doubt that they were won by
the most wholesale cheating. That is avowed
in the most open way. Most people seem to
praise the negroes and to be on very good terms
with them; but they all admit that, while the
blacks will do almost anything else for them,
when it comes to voting they cannot be int1u-
enced and insist on voting with their party At
one place that visited where considerable
number OF Republican votes were recorded
an old Democratic gentleman jocularly re-
marked that this had been the only honest poll
There is an extreme party here opposed to Mr..
Wade Hampton, of which General Geary is
the leader. He openly says the blacks were
made by God to till the soil, and they may do
that, but they cannot be allowed to vote and
hold land, else they would be masters and the
whites slaves.
l had a good talk with sew
eral gentlemen in the office, or who happened
to be about the capitol. They all admit that
the ballot at elections is an utter farce and
that there is no pretence at secrecy. COM
mon dodge is to print tickets in imitation of
those of the enemy, and to foist them upon il
literate voters of the other side. More frequent
ly the ballot is Stuffed" by putting in several
thin tickets wrapped together. The rule is that
ii more vote tickets are found in the box than
the number of voters, the excess number is
drawn out by man blindfolded for the pur-
pose. He can very well distinguish the tickets
of his own party; they are generally on a diff
ferent kind of paper. They gave me one of
election for this county of Richland 1t is
piece Of the thinnest tissue paper, about coup
lie of inches long by an inch broad, upon which
are printed the names of the whole of the can
didates for the various offices and seats in the
legislature.

Prize Fight at San Francisco

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 19.-The Mcclellan
Donovan hard glove fight for $1,000 came off
last night, both men weighing about 147
pounds each. McClellan's seconds were Billy
Edwards and Arthur Chambers: Donovan's.
Jas. Coyle. and Billy Riley. VIM Barnes,
referee. The men were brought to the scratch
at 925. Up to the Both round Mcclellan had
decidedly the best of the fight, which was very
lively, the men closing and fighting each
other, Donovan being thrown almost every
round. In the 34th round Donovan punished
Mcclellan severely in the body, and the latter
breaking away fell, winded. Donovan then
forced the fighting up to the 50th round, hay
ing much the best OF it. Mcclellan then be-
gan to get his second wind and the rounds
became long and uninteresting, both manuu-
vreing and sparring for wind. In the I'D
round Donovan got first blood by a blow on
McClellan's left eye. From that time out eau
tious tactics prevailed, Mcclellan apparently
improving over Donovan, but at the close of
the Oath round, at 10 minutes past l, the
referee declared the match draw, neither
having any decided advantage. The decision
gave great dissatisfaction, and Donovan, after
going ON the stage, returned and took position
again, but was led off by the seconds, Fouls
were claimed several times against Donovan
for hitting his man when down, but not
allowed.

George B. Durfee Under Arrest-Disap-
pearance Of Paine.
FALL RIVER, Aug 19.-The city is terribly
excited tonight over the arrest of Geo. B.
Durfee, ex-treasurer Of Mechanics mill, who
was taken in charge at $50 tonight by the city
marshal and confined in the police station,
where Chace, Hathaway and Stickney were
placed. 1t is impossible to learn at whose
order the warrant was issued, but probably it
is the work of District Attorney Knowlton, as
the latter is known to be of the opinion that
Durfee and Paine were both guilty of criminal
action, and he proposes to make searching
investigation of the affairs of both the Ameri-
can Linen and Mechanics mills. All efforts
to secure bail, which has been fixed at 1856 900,
have so far been futile, Jefferson Borden, Dur
fees father-in-law, refusing to go on his bond
News of Durfee's arrest had hardly become
general when it was learned that Walter
Paine the third defaulting treasurer of the
Linen mill, had left for parts unknown 1t is
thought that Paine's case will develop into the
worst defalcation yet, as no one believes his
operations confined to cotton speculation, and
it is thought his Irregularities extend over sew
cral years. He went to Providence yesterday
''to see his mother once more before meeting
the stockholders and word has been received
from there that he escaped. A warrant has
been issued for his arrest, but little hopes are
entertained of his capture The directors
themselves are said to be unable to ascertain
the true standing of the concern. Paine is
found to have very little property which can
be secured.

The Stewart Grave Robbie

The Stewart Grave Robbery.
New YORK, Aug 19.-The Tribune publish
es letter from DIR. John c. Minor, formerly
physician of Mrs. Stewart, explicitly denying
the rumors that Mrs. Stewart was deceived
into the belief that the remains of her husband
were recovered. The letter states that Mrs.
Stewart and Judge Hilton are in perfect ac-
cord and determined enot to be blackmailed.
The letter regards the recent publications as
the last trump card of the robbers under the
belief that Mrs. Stewart had been deceived by
Judge Hilton, and predicts its failure.
