ROSCOE At THE MAN.FIGHr.

Mr.. Roscoe Conkling's attendance on
the Ryan-sullivan slugging-bout the other
night should not be misconstrued.
1t was not that Roscoe had let 20 all
holds Of respectability in his "halcyon and
vociferous" disgust at the election of
Evarts to the senate. No. by no means.
Mr.. Conkling is as dainty Of his reputation
as ever he was
He is as clean AID temperate as when
he refrained from dissipating any deeper
than crackers and milk even after the
shock Of facing an enraged husbands shot
gun at Canonchet.
He has his own self-respect as high as
when he flung his heels in the face of the
United-States senate and dashed into the
New-York legislature with his Garfield
Jockey caparison torn to strings.
He feels as grand scorn of anything
low or vile as when he put his powerful
brain under a couple of thousand high
shoulders in Oneida county and lifted
them above the rut of Republicanism to
vote away the state of New York into the
hands Of Confederate Halpinism and holy
Beechery.
o, no, he has not let down a peg. He
is the same towering, Washington-monu-
mental Conkling
But he regards the manly art" as
gentlemanly accomplishment He has al
ways looked upon the exercise OF scien-
tifically slamming your mauleys into a
mans mouth, and into his eyes, and on
his nose, and so forth, as pastime fit for
cavaliers, ever since degenerate modern
society took the sword from them. He
often himself puts on the gloves and boxes
with the noble professors.
1t is therefore that Roscoe Conkling lent
his imposing presence to the pugilistic en-
counter which the police put stop to in |
New York.

PUBLICAN.

To the Editor of the Globe-Republc:
Why would not James P. Goodwin make
good Republican nominee for Mayor? He
Is young lawyer, well qualified for the
office, An enthusiastic and hard-working Re-
publican, and has been laboring in the ranks
OF the party for years.
All honest, fair-minded men will admit
that the success of the Republican party this
spring depends upon the nomination OF a
good, clean ticket, free from the n anne of any
man who would be guilty of buying up the
nomination. 1t is deplorable state of affairs,
when, in city, the party that holds the bal.
ance OF power by a majority of over 500 is
Obliged to allow the minority party to take
charge of the municipal affairs
And why is it that such is the case? Sim
ply because Republicans fail to nominate a
man whom the majority can conscientiously
support, and because it is the right, the duty
OF every citizen to erase from his
ballot the name OF any man whom he
thinks unworthy Of his suffrage. And no man
should be dubbed kicker who exercises this
right 1t is the safeguard of good govern
ment
And why should men hestate to exercise
this privilege, when they see six or dozen
men Set themselves up as ring and quietly as
sumo the reins of government by debating to
a whole community who they shall vote for?
1t is evident that if Republicans do not
have good ticket to vote for this spring. il
Is the fault OF themselves II is as much the
duty OF every voter to 60 to the polls and
vote at the primaries as it is at any other
time; and Republicans should turn out to a
man; and, by nominating a good, clean
ticket, they will assure the election of our
candidate. A REPUBLICAN.

Death of Mrs. Boykin.

Our community was greatly startled last
Sunday morning by the announcement
that Mrs. f. NJ. BoYKIN had died sudden
ly. She was out riding the evening previ-
Gus, and though she had been in feeble
health for some time, she retired on Satur-
day night, little supposing that it would be
her last night ON earth. But on Sunday
morning, at o'clock, she was found to be
diving. from some affection of the brain or
heart. Mrs. Boykin was the widow OF the
late Hon. Burwell Boykin, of Mobile, and
the mother of Mrs. L. Brame, of this city,
with whom she has resided while here.
She was the sister of Ex-Governor John j.
McRae. and of Hon. Jas. B. McRae, OF
Harrison county. She was lady not only
of rare mplishments, broad culture
and thorough refinement, but OF lovely
and sunny disposition, who had a kind
word and smile for all with whom she
came in contact. Mrs. Boykin was an
earnest, devoted Christian, and her friends
have the consolation of knowing that she
has entered into ssthe rest that remainetf
for the people of God" The remains O
Mrs. Boykin were taken yesterday tt

in-Iaw, Judge L. Brame. When Mr.. Boy

The Colored State Fair closed to-day,

niarily, and more than all in its tendency
to develop and improve the colored race

nations of advanced classes in each of the
various studies of their curriculum were
specially commendable.

intellectual education of students, deyotes
great attention to education n agricultur-
al, mechanical and all the industrial pur-
suits. In these latter, as fruits of their
labor, they had 100 separate articles on
exhibition, made by the students, compos-
ed of a wagon, wheels, gates, and numer-
Gus articles belonging to the carpenters,
blacksmiths and timers trades, and in
needlework, fancy and plain; also numer.
ous and fine agricultural and horticultural

The spacious church was filled to its
utmost capacity on Wednesday evening,
with friends who had come to witness the
marriage of this popular couple. The
church was decorated with loveliest flowers,
and the exquisite arrangement of every
one was perfectly in keeping with the quiet
elegance which so distinguishes the bride.
OF the high esteem in which Mr.. and Mrs.
Virden are held, We need not speak.
All who know them, know that in her
is found lovely, womanly woman, and
in him, one of our noblest men. The
bride was richly dressed in white en-
broidered Grape, and wore an elegant
embroidered veil, fastened with dia-
mond clasp. And very fair, and sweet,
and bride-like she was, as she plighted her
troth for veal or woe, to the noble man
beside her. The reception at the brides
home, after the service, was one OF the
most elegant ever given in our city. The
floral decorations there were profuse and
artistic. Thousands of good wishes greet
them in their new life, and we trust that
all that is fairest and best, may be theirs,
through many years to come.
