PUGILISTIC.

ST. LOUIS, May 12.-It is now more
than probable that Tom Allen, the re-
nowned pugilist, who has all along been
the recognized champion of America,
will recross the Atlantic for the purpose
of contesting Dryers claim to the title,
in which event Tom will encounter the
only man in the world barring Mace,
who has ghost of chance to win.
Johnny's initial performance in the ORTIZ
odox circle proved so satisfactory that
he will have no trouble in finding back
ers, and Aliens friends on this side of
the Atlantic, as well as Tom himself,
would be pleased to handle some of the
Brooklyn boxers stuff. Your cores
pendent yesterday called on gentleman
who had been behind Allen in I'll of his
American battles to ascertain whether
anything was being done towards bring
ing about mill. The party referred to
stated that a match between the men,
provided Dryer would make it, was a
mere question of time. Johnny, who is
as gentlemanly boxer as ever pulled off
shirt, while popular with his own set,
has great many enemies, especially sin
political circles" and they will do their
utmost to have Allen come over, he being
regarded as the only man competent to
"down" Dryer. Aliens hacker states
that his brother is now in England, and
that there is hardly any doubt that Tom
will accompany him on his return to
America. Allen, unpopular as a man,
has host of sporting friends here, who
admire his fighting capabilities, and
they are willing to make the match for
as much money as the opposition desire.

John Clegg, ESQ.,, Of Vermilion-
vile has been suggested as the
delegate to represent the 18th
senatorial district in the Consti-
tutional Convention. Mr.. Clegg,
is no doubt a good man and
though quite young in years might
make a creditable delegate, but it
strikes US that it is but just and
fair that Iberia and St. Martin
should he allowed showing in the
matter, especially since they
possess such talented and up light
men as Ex-Gov. G.. II. Monton
and Col. r.. s. Perry, unless
Lafayette proposes to get up a
corner in the Office holding mar
ket. II this be the plan the old
basis of operations will be the
proper one to fight on, and another
victory will be scored for Lafay-
cite. However as this is 'none Of
our faneral' and We happen to be
in poor, little Vermilion, We will
discontinue.
