JUSTICE McGimsey had swo fe-
male culprits, Sarah Barlow and Do.
ra --, the former we'll known to
some of the laddie bucks Of Town,
charged with fighting, brought be-
fore him on Thursday. They had q
rough and tumble fight for the fe-
male championship, and after three
rounds, black Sarah threw up the
sponge and sung out "enough! She
has never met defeat before, and even
now boasts of having more than
once vanquished male competitors.
The evidence against them not be
ing strong enough to justify assault
and battery, they were dismissed.
--THE river road, we are informed
is now open to the public, the brid-
ges being all up and tue fences
moved from the front to the road
line. Persons desiring to do so, can
circuit the Island by horse, wagon or
foot, as circumstances may dictate.
A ferry at convenient point on the
river would bring good many peo
pie to Alexandria from the North
side of the river, who are compelled
now to travel many weary miles so
as to get to market. Let the Police
Jury open a ferry, and many persons
will be made happy who are now
miserable. Some Of our stalwart
timber jointed foot pads propose to
inaugurste a race around the road
and thereby do away with the ennui
of the coming long and hot month
of August. Refreshment relays ev.
cry five miles will be the chief at
traction for those that enter 10 the
race.

CHICAGO, March 22.-Wheat cables steady.
Our market opened quiet with considerable do
ing but without much animation. Two or
three large lines of shorts are reported to have
covered at going prices. This made the deal
steady. Later the advices from New York re-
ported the enormous receipts of wheat for the
time of the year of $50, 900 bushels. This was
corker on the boys, and such an excitement
and decentralization you hardly ever see. Bun
die after bundle was thrown overheard regard

the transactions have been very heavy, closing

Provisions opened at the closing price OF

in full force hammering the daylights out OF
it. The packers tried several times to bolster
prices, stopping the decline at times, but there
was blood in the bears eyes and they stood the

A RumOr That He Has Gone Down
in the City of Mexico.
NO CAUSE FOR SERIOUS ALARM
According to the Latest Reports
Which Have Been Received.
THE VESSEL NOT OVERDUE
With Possibility That She Remain
ed in Port to Avoid the Storm.

The city was excited yesterday afternoon
by the report that Gen. Grant had gone down
in the City of Mexico off the Galveston coast.
Up to o'clock this morning, no conirma-
is great reason to hope that no such calamity
has occurred.
1t seems certain that the vessel was not
due until Yesterday and possibly not until
to-day. 1t is not likely that there would be
the least apprehension felt for the vessel if
it was not for the distinguished guest on
board. We append the kilograms which
clearly show that up to this time there is no
cause for serious alarm.

THE UNIVERSITY BOAT RACE.

THE UNIVERSITY BOAT RACE.
LONDON, March 22.-The weather to-day was
exceedingly favorable for the university boat
race. Early in the morning there was slight
mist over the river bat it was soon dispelled.
Spectators began to line the river bank long be-
fore o'clock, and when the race came off there
was great crowd in attendance. The course
was the one usually rowed from Putney to
Mortlake, four miles and q quarter. The ap-
pearance of both the Oxford and Cambridge
crews was greeted with enthusiasm. The start
was made at 1885, and the Oxford won
easily by three and one.half lengths, in
twenty-one minutes and twenty three Sec
onds. The Cambridge crew started at the rate
of 4O strokes per minute, the Oxford crew 81
or IS: The race at the commencement was
beautifully close. Cambridge at first gained q
slight advantage from rowing quicker stroke,
but the Oxford crew drew up with them by the
time half mile had been rowed, and at Grass
wharf, 3% minutes from the start, had lead
of few feet. When a mile had been left be-
hind splendid struggle took place for the
lead, which Cambridge secured, and opposite
Grab Tree, n miles from the start, it seemed
as if they would row right away; but the squirt
had told upon the Cambridge crew, who began
to row short. They, however, main
tanned the lead to Hammersmith bridge,
half mile further on. The boats were even
very shortly after passing the bridge. and an
oACltlDS Struggle WIS malnlalneQ TO CneeWlck
Eyot. The irregularity of the Cambridge
crew, however, was perceptibly increasing,
while the Oxford crew were rowing like ma
chine. Wken half way up Oheswick Eyot, the
Oxford crew led by half a length. At Cheswick
church, two miles and a half from the start,
the race, which had SO far been one of the finest
ever seen, waA virtually over, the Oxford crew
leading by two lengths. The race is remarkable
as one of the few instances in which the boat
first under Hammersmith bridge had been de-
feated. Rough water and greater force of the
wind in Cooney Beach doubtless gave Oxford
an advantage, as their style of rowing was
more suitable to cope with them.

A report of the banquet given to Parnell by

Hartmann had done in Russia, and if the con-
stitutional cause they were at present pursu-
ing in parliament failed in its object, he
thought Ireland might be able to produce an
other Hartmann and probably with better re-
suits.

THE PUBLIC EXAMINER,

He Denies the Charge of Partisanship-
-Four Out OF Fiue Defaulters Repmbli.
cans.
To the Editor of the Globe.
ST. PAUL. March %, 1SSO.-On returning to
the city I find the following in your issue OF
the 18th inst
"When Public Examiner Knox found the treasurer
of Martin county defaulter he said nothing about
it for nearly six months. Meantime the treasurer
decamped and the deficit still stands. The treasurer
of Martin county was Republican. 1t makes diff.
ference whose OK is gored."
Here is plain statement upon the truth OF
falsehood of which rests my official integrity
1 supposed upon reading it that the date OF
six months was taken from my Second an.
nual report" and now find that the supposi-
ton was correct, as in your enlargement upon
the above in your issue of to-day you quote
from that report (page 52) as follows:
"The executive order OF suspension of the treas.
of this county dated Oct. %, 1879 and was
based upon the examination Of the examiner, by
which it appears that you are In serious default in
your public accounts My examination of this Office
besrs date April 10.
You infer and give your readers plainly to
understand that The (the public examiner) dis
covered the defalcation in April and concealed
it six months" and again as above "said moth
ing about it for nearly six months
The utter falsity of both these statements is
proven upon the very next pages of the report
from which you quote, Opp. $3.50, in which
reasons for the delay in isuing the order of sus.
pension are fully given.
II made my report of the case on April 30
showing the deficit as my letter book shows,
and my report to the governor gives as reason
for even this delay that have given him (the
treasarer) time to make an examination of his
books"
The report was made in twelve days after the
examination. The board of audit reported to
me under date of May 18th that they 'had ex-
amined the accounts of the treasurer, and find
him liable for $l73.49 more than he could pro-
duce funds, and that he had more than enough
coming to him in the way of fees to balance bis
shortage" This information was transmitted
to the governor on May oath, and there was no
evidence in this Office or the governors of any
further deficit until September Oath. Other
facts were afterward received and transmitted
to the governor upon which, together with the
previous facts, his order of suspension was
based.
My letter book with the dates of my several
reports, and all the correspondence upon the
subject'are open to the inspection of all.
You seem to be ignorant of the fact that the
you saYDit is even doubtful whether he would
have suspended the defaulter in October, if he
had not decamped." The power of response
bility eft this office ceases by law when the
facts are reported to the governor, and the
power of suspension rests solely with him.
The charge of partisan public examiner"
upon which you have reared such lofty super
structure, falls to the ground. The report
from which you quote names the cases of five
public officers suspended on reports from this
efice, of whom four are Republicans.
