AIurderous Mill.

Pittsburg, 4.-Advices from Dubois
give the following particulars of the fatal
prize fight briefly mentioned in these
dispatches last night. Mike Mclaughlin
and Martin Linksy, both boys not more
than Is years of age, and employees OF
the Rochester Coal Company, quarrelled
yesterday, and agreed to settle the
trouble according to prize ring rules
The fight came of by lamp light last
night, and was witnessed by large num-
Der Of spectators. The first two rounds
possessed very little interest, the antsg-
onists being pretty evenly matched. The
third round Wss spirited one, and heavy
odds were ia favor of Linksy, but NC
LAuphlin seemed TO be better scieAced.
The third round brought the claret from
both, but with no advantage to either.
In the fifth round both came to the
scratch with no little vim end the pun
ishment was about evenly divided. In
the sixth round both felt somewhat
worseifoT wear snd bowed like porpoises.
Considerable spsrring was dulged IN,
when Linksy accidentally fell, his neck
was broken, and he expired almost in
stantly. The tragic termination caused
great excitement, and it was all the few
cool-hesded men could do to prevent q
row between the rival fsctions. Nc
Laughlin gave himself up to the author
tiles. The coroner held an inquest this
evening returning q verdict that Linksy's
death was caused by Mclaughlin. de
was held on the charge Of murder.

Evansville, Ind, 4.-Judge Walter Q.
Gresham, who was appointed postmas-
ter general to-day, is in this city holding

he said he had just notified the President
and secretary of state that hs would &C.
cept, but that his duties here would de-
tain him until Saturday Of this week, and.
that he could not reach Washington

ment was unsolicited and entirely unex-
pected. He received notice Of the

ulstions OF prominent people Of both

Served Them Right.

We think that Judge Rhea at Fincastle
and Mr.. Massey at Louisa Courthouse
served the Malone canyassers right. II
they will not divide time upon equitable
terms, let our speakers refuse to submit to
an unjust division Of time, and take the
crowd from them, as they can do In nine
instances out OF ten. Malone has billeted
his speakers for every court-day in every
county in the State from now till the cleo
ton. Where they act fairly we will dis
cuss the issues OF the canvass with them.
Where they attempt to take the advantage
OF our speakers, let the latter call upon the
decent portion of the people to rebuke the
arrogance and unfairness Of the Malone
ties, as was done In ROckbridge and
Louisa. We will have no humbuggery in
this canvass.-Lynchb,rg Virginidn.

his battery on the Colonel. he kept Dim pc
meath an incessant and whitening hrc ior
an hour and ten minutes. We cannot give
even o synopsis OF this speech. FROM tne
beginning to the close there was great en-,
thlIsiasm exhibited by the audience ana
the speaker was frequently and loudiy APP
plauded, in very marked contrast 10 thc
cold reception and utter indifference which
greeted Colonel Hubards speech. The
platform was taken up, read, explained,
and commented upon; Readiuster prom
ises coDtrasted with Readjuster perform
ances, and Governor Cameron's shame
ful action In appointing negro trustees
10 control white schools in the city OF Rich
mond against the indignant protest OF
nearly every white man in the State,
sharply criticised. Colonel HUBBARD was
called upon to say whether he endorsed
the action OF his Governor, and he emphat-
ically and positively declined to answer, as
did he also the question where he would
be found in the national contest in 1884.
When Colonel HUBBARD came to reply he
said he had not been led to expect very
enthusiastic reception, and therefore was
not disappointed. The Democrats might
desire to know how he stood in regard to
Governor Cameron's connection with The
Richmond School Board and his future po-
litical status; "but," said he, pulling
down the lower lid OF his left eye. a." do
you see anything very green there!" Two
more anecdotes completed the ColonePs
remarkable speech, aud he resumed his
seat amid the faIntest applause, which
came exclusively frorl a dozen or so ne
groes.
That Colonel Hubard's speech was a
disappointment to his own particular
friends was clearly depicted upon their
faces. Your correspondent has not seen Il
Mahoneitc who has expressed himself as
satisfied with the discussion, and the Uni
versal verdict is that the Democrats have
good cause for their iubilation. The
Democratic majority in this county has
been steadily on the increase, and in No
vcmber next it will be greater than at any
time since Mahoneism made its appear
ance, with all its blighting influences, in
Virginia politics. :.

Governor Cameron.

Governor CAMERON Il charged with an
objectionable crime by the Washington
correspondent Of the New York Tribune.
lie writes:
"Thc CoaIitionists have new danger to
confront. Their object this year IL to Sc
cure Trustworthy majority Of the Legis-
lature In order TO pass bill to reapporton
the Congress districts. The result OF the
spring elections In the tidewater counties,
which contain heavy Republican MAORI
ties, was such as 10 slarm the Coaiition
leaders. Two State senators from Norfolk
and Portsmouth--one OF whom had been ap-
pointed. postmaster Mt Norfolk and the
other Railroad Commissioner OF the State
rendered their designations to Governor
Cameron. II Is asserted with the under
standing that they should not be accepted
unless It became apparent that the Coali-
tionists could elect the successors Of those
senator's. The result OF the May elections
was so dscouraging that, II is said, both
senator's will claim their seats when the
Legislature convcnes. That may make
trouble.
"The acceptance by General W. c..
Wickham OF nomination for the State
Republican support is a just cause Tor
alarm among the Coalitionists, for 1t not
only makes their prospects OF success I'D
that district very doubtful, but indicates a
probability OF n fusion Of Republicans and
Democrats in other legislative districts,
which may result disastrously to Malone
and his followers in case Republicans are
chosen as the fusion candidates"
Now, Governor CAMERON has sworn to
support the State Constitution. He knows
that the Code OF Virginia provides that no
person who holds any Office or post OF
honor or profit under the United States
Government, or receives any sort OF emolu-
ment or pay from it, can hold any post OF
honor or profit in this Commonwealth.
He knows that the two officials named
above have Gf the facts are as
stately forfeited their membership in
the General Assembly. II is, therefore,
his bounden duty to order elections
in the two districts. Whether he
orders them or not, the voters ought to
elect good men to represent them in the
Legislature. which the Constitution makes
the sole Judge Of the election, returns, and
qualifications OF its own membcrs-a pro-
vision first framed to prevent the people
from being cheated out OF their proper re-
presentation by INSCRIPTIONS officers.

that Mr. George Avis, OF IIarrsonburg, is

here, having been connected rs United

no tears to shed over this matter, but think
it is a mean business all the same.

The Pledge.

The Winchester Times suggests that it
would be well in every county to question
the MALONE nominees for the Legislature
as to whether they have signed any such
pledge as the one which the Mahoneite
candidates for that body gave two years
ago. 1t follows:
81 hereby pledge myself to stand by the
ReAdiuster party and platform, and to go
into caucus with the Readiuster members
OF the Legislature that meets at Richmond,
and vote for all measures, nominees, and
candidates to be elected by the Legislature,
as the caucus may agree upon"
What were these measures? One was
the bin to redstrict the State in the interest
OF the Republican party. Another was the
bill to legislate our excellent circuit judges
out Of Office, and ill their places with MA
HOMES partisans. A third was the bill to
give to the Governor the power TO appoint
commissioners Of land-sales, and to make
these Mahoneite commissioners the general
receivers Of the courts. The money now
paid to the whole bar for these services
would have gone into the pockets Of Gov
ernor CAMERoN's appointees, and thus
would have been created large fund
upon which General MALONE could have
levied his party assessments. A fourth
measure was one providing that the Super.
intendcnt OF Public Printing should cause
every general law to be published in some
newspaper printed in this city at a cost OF
not over five cents line, or, say. more
than ten dollars a column-it might be
much more, depending upon the kind Of
type used. A fifth measure was intended
