ARTHUR's SECOND TERM.
His Friends Making Canvass 10 Find
Out where He IL Strongest.

ASHlNGTON, august IA party Va -'e"
York politicians, who are in Washington
temporarily, were encountered to-day and
the conversation naturally driftei towards
the boom for a secold term FOR President
Arthur. A leading member OF the delega'
tion said that already canvass was being
made in order 10 ind out whore the Presi-
dents best friends are, and that special at
tention would be given TO the weak spots
in making up the delegation TO the next
nominating convention. Enough had
been secured already to justify the contin-
uauce of the efforts in behalf OF the Presi-
dent, and one means used TO convince
doubling ones was that New York was
likely to furnish the candidates for both
parties in TIE next campaign, and that the
President was far preferable to Tiiden.
Conc!liatory measures would be the rule
in treating with ary dissffected Republi.
can elements in the State, and there seemed
TO he a reasonable prospect for enrolling
the Empire State in the fall OF 1854 with a
big majority for the incumbent OF the
White House. Considerable interest was
manifested in the approaching contest in
Ohio. for victory or defeat in that state
next October would be an important factor
in the Presidential campaign.

TWO SLUGGERS
Entertain Crowd OF sports by Pound.

Ming the Daylight Out Of Each Other.
PITTSBURGH, August 14.-This morning
at daybreak the much-talked-of prize fight
between Albert Cannoup, alias Reddy Nc.
Clusky, and John Wagner, took place at
the picnic ground at Whitehall, on the
Brownsville road.
The cause which led to the fight are
feuds are settled by the laws of the Mar
quis OF Queensbury instead Of those enacted
by the Legislature. The men are brothers
in-law and months ago they had bitter
quarrel. Cannoup is from New York and
Wagner ia from the South Side, but both
men are working in the city. The feud
becames so intense that the men deter
mined to fight in the prize ring, the loser
to pay all eqpenses. Cannoup, who is en-
plOyed at HOgan's glass works, although
he is a blacksmith by trade, has been
training in Beaver county. Wagner has
been trained By William Williams. He
is also a glass worker.
The Fight
was TO have taken place on the 7th inst. at
Golfers station, but it was postponed be-
cause the men could not come to an agree
meEt. All the preliminaries were arranged
yesterday and this morning at four o'clock
the principals, with their seconds
and hackers and about one hundred
spectators, who occupied some twenty car
risles, drove out the Brownsville road to
the Buck Tavern, where the party stopped
for refreshments. They then proceeded to
the picnic grounds at Whitehall.
A Dancing Platform
about thirty feet square and surrounded
by ratings was selected for the fight, and
the spectators ranged themselves around
il. There was some trouble in selecting a
referee, but this was soon settled, we'll
known sport of this city acting in that ca
paCity. The principals were dressed in
regulation costume, stripped to the waist
and wore hard gloves. AT $50 time was
called and the fight began. Cannoup was
the larger of the two but neither OF them
was very heavy.
In the First Round
the men were very wary, and tried to show
as much science as they knew. A long
reach by Wsgner was warded off, and after
some quick sparring Cannoup got in
square blow and knocked his man down.
The second round was brutal one, and
blood was drawn on Wagner, who sue
ceeded, however, in closing up Cannoup'S
lett eye.

The fourth round was very brutal one,

was over.
