METROPOLITAN Dog Fight.

Roger. a white bull terrier Of Brook
iyu and the winner q! three hard
fights, was Yesterday set ia the pit
with Flatcaicaer. a brindle bull from
England. and brother t. Cockney
Charley's Pilot, which kiiiei the re
doubtable Crib in Louisville last year.
The fight occurred in a hall back Of
Brooklyn. and was for $500 a side.
The hall was filed by 30 men, who
paid So each for admission. Each
dog weighed exactly 81! pounds
Roger. VINO WAS first shown up, ap-
peared 10 he in poor condition. Bets
Of so to $50 were offered against him
Oh sight. and before Fiatcatcher ap-
pearei. The English dog dill not
take kindly to the washing, attempt
ing 10 bite his trainer. Bets OF Sl0O
TO $50 were made on him. The crowd
was hot with excitement when Ole Of
Rogers hackers remarked white
dogs is cunning as rats, ami this dog
will set about the tother dog. Being
lei 70 the corners the animals set up
fearful growing.
AT 81 o'clock Fiatcatcher, who Won
the toss, was let go. ami at once got
an ugly juggler hold on Roger; but,
to the astonishment of everybody.
Roger broke the hold. and in less than
twenty minutes, by wrestling and fast
fighting. turned the betting In his own
favor. Offers ofsl00 to SO on the
white dog met with no takers. For a
long time the brutes rolled about the
pit. At length Roger let 90 throat
hold. and ceased all show of Sight.
Flatcatcher secured a terrible grip on
MS ear, sinking his teeth deeply, SHOOT,
Roger all around the pit. An excit-
ed spectator shouted out: Ill pound
him" The laugh at this. however,
had hardly subsidized. when Roger took
a fore leg Of Flatcatcher in his mouth
and chewed il nearly of. This caused
Fla,catcher TO try TO run away.
At each scratch. for some tune,
Roger rushed over gamely. Flatcatch-
4r showing a disposition to turn tail.
After scratching ten times. both dogs.
from fast fighting. became overheated
and weak. The cry went al around
while the dogs were living side by side,
that there would be no dead jog in
the pit that afternoon. One man said
they were '.parlor fighters and an
other scornfully observed that THAT
was the way they were brought up"
After 30 minutes Roger refused TO
scratch, turning tail and lyi'g down
in corner of the pit. Flatcatcher
was declared winner in % minutes.
Roger was terribly lacerated. and
those VINO should know say he will
die. Flatcatcher will not die.

be content to be ruled by prisoner.
And the car is only 4 prisoner of

the prison bars; the car crouches in
fear and dread of the very people he
is expected to command.
The people demand more freedom.
We see no help for the car unless he
agrees to larger liberty.
Russia is passing through the same

she was child under twelve years OF

Miss Martha took advantage of his

from home. The necessary license
had been obtained, and the Justice of

youthful and childlike appearance of
the would-be-bride it is said that Judge
Thompson declined to perform the
ceremony until assured by Mr.. Ben

the father had consented to the mar

Judge Thompson then proceeded to

it is said, snapped it at Mr.. Evans,
whereupon Evans ran uron Fosky,
seized the pistol, and wrenching the
same from his hands, proceeded tc

Fosky succeeded in getting away

To the People of Maine:

To the People of Maine:
The two State Conventions which have re-
Gently put Governor Plaisted in nomination
for reelection, have each seen fit to put in
their respective platforms a resolution APP
proving his action and condemning that Of
the Executive Council, in their official rela-
lions with each other.
His Excellency, in his recent letter of &C
ceptance of his nomination by the Democratic
Convention has seen fit to follow up this at
tack with specific charges against his Council.
When Governor Plasted was inaugurated
the various offices in the State were filed;
mostly by Republicans, but some by mem
bers of other political parties Their COM
missions generally run for ''four years unless
for the time being.'' The Constitution and
statutes so fixed their tenure. The con-
current action of both the Governor and the
Council would be, therefore, necessary to
make removal. He represented one politi-
cal party at least, the Council another. 1t
was instantly seen that no removals could
be made ON political grounds unless the
Governor would consent to strike down his
friends or the Council theirs. That could
not be expected of either Hence the
Council adopted a rule of action, that no
removals should be made on political grounds
merely. Ii other reasons were assigned they
would hear and act on them. 1t was so
oVfSoCet dt Cito1T UOdTQ, ana III Tile papers OF
the State. 1t was so we'll understood by the
Governor.
Entering upon official life together, in their
new relations, with this field thus open before
them, the Governor at once commenced
making nominations to remove Republicans
from office. by putting his political friends
IN, occasionally, however, nominating one
republican to remove another. A nomna-
ton is first written by the Governor upon
nomination book, and after having been
made seven days, is submitted by him to the
Council, for their vote, by yeas and nays, the
Secretary of State, who is made by the Con-
stitution the Secretary of the Governor and
Council, calling the roll and recording the
vote. A nomination so made and acted upon
is finallydisposed of, unless, under the Rules
and Orders of the Executive Department, a
reconsideration is moved within the first
three days of their next session. If reject
ed by the Council, and no reconsideration is
moved, it would be difficult to conceive of
any proper motive, looking to the public
interest or desire to preserve respectful
relations with the Council, for removing the
same nomination, or of one for removing
the same officer. And yet the Governor
adopted this rule of action. In making
some thirty or forty nominations, to remove
men from Office whose commissions were in
full force, the following facts, as collected
from the records of the Department., will
show the course Of the Governor of State

Mr.. Little was so we'll qualified to fill other

be re-appointed to fill his own Now at the
date of his first nomination, submitted for
purposes of removal, whatever the political
character of the man nominated, he knew,
as all the people of the State knew, the
Council stood committed to the rule that no
removals should be made but for cause.
And no charge of any kind was ever sug-
gested against any of these officers sought to
be removed Every subsequent nomination,
original or repeated, was made with that full
knowledge on the part of the Governor
Why were they made and repeated and re-
repeated in this manner? Waving all cues
tions Of courtesy it is difficult to conceive of
any possible motive, except to force an an
tagonsm with the Council for political pur-
poses, and magnify its proportions by the
constant repetitions of these nominations in
order to have them reinctad So much for
