They lock tramps up IN a long room at
Detroit, Mich, and let them 20 light it out"
Thirty-four tramps locked in a room there
became involved in general fight recently
which lasted from midnight till in the morn
ing. 1t was said to have been the NEST terrific
fight ever witnessed between men. They had
10 weapons and there was means of egress,
and as they fought, their cries and walls and
cursing was hideous to hear. They fought
until from sheer3 exhaustion they were forced
to desist. Every face in the room was more or
less disfgured and bleeding. There is some
thing british about this thing, is there not?
WILLIAMSBURG, KY, correspondent says:
Our city was unexpectedly visited last night
by band of regulators, who, between twelve
and one O'Clock, called upon Thomas Taylor,
an indolent white man, whom they charged
with horse-stealing. They notified him to
leave the town within thirty days. They then
visited several negro cabins and served notices
upon the occupants to leave the vicinity. This
was very unexpected at this piHce. A band of
regulators are known to exist in Robertson and
Nicholas counties, but have heretofore con-
fined their operations in those counties. After
accomplishing their purposes they quietly dis
persed to their homes.

THE NATIONAL CAPITAL
REOPENING OF THE sPOFFORD-KEL'
LOGG CASE.
The Committee ON Elections TO Preceed
to Take Testimony 1t Once-PrObable
Ousting of Kellogg During the Extra
Session.

Especial to the Democrat.
WASHINGTON, May THE adoption OF Mr.
Saulsbury's resolution to-day may be consid-
cred as practically settling the Spofford- kel-
logg case Kellogg's main dependence was
on the doctrine OF res adjudicata, and there
had been considerable talk to the effect that
certain Democratic Senators would vote
against reopening the case on that ground,
but the vote to-day showed that there was
no foundation for that talk, and it may be as
sumed that the final vote will be substantial
ly the same as that to-day.
The committee will proceed Immediately to
take testimony, and unless Congress should
adjourn within three weeks, which is not
probable, It's report and action will be ereached
this session. 1t is rumored that Kellogg in
tends to subpoena o large number OF wit
nesses from New Orleans to testify touching
the means by which quorum was obtained
In the Nichols Legislature but 1t is nota al
certain that the committee will go into that
branch of the case. A.CB.
