1t looks as II this city is going to be treated to
genuine prize fight, with local bruisers as
principals. The matter has been variously
and quietly talked over for the past few weeks
at places where sports "most do congregatc."
1t is said hostilities have grown out OF the
eparring match held at the Capital Theatre
some time ago, and two well.known local
knights OF the knuckle, who had Disagree
ment over the affair, have determined to meet
In ring and slug each other for stakes, and as
0settler' of the dispute.
The names OF the pair have been kept very
quiet, MS well as the proposed battle-ground,

the principals and Interested parties Will
assemble quietly some fine day and meekly
proceed down the Potomac on an excursion,
and after reaching the excursion point they
Will scatter md assemble at given place,
when the fight Will take place before the
authorities are aware of the occurrence. The

The Democratic politicians in the
Southern States iniure their cause
by manifesting so much bitterness to
those who claim the right to act in

party leaders. It exasperates those
who have cracked the whip SO long
to think that the sceptre is about to
depart from their hands, and they say
very bitter things. When General
Malone started out on that line in
Virginia, he was confirmed in his
course by the abuse of the
bourbon leaders. The same thing
is going on in Georgia. DR..
