might be relied on TO do more for them
In the future, Then the Senate adjourn
ed for dinner, which interval gave Presi-
dent Carr chance 10 get light, =
On the reassembling OF the Senate,
Carr called Price to the chair and moved
a reconsideration Of the vote by which
the resolution was lost, This was agreed
TO and the resolution came up again.
The Democrats abstained from voting 10
break the quorum. Carr, as President,
voted last and voted no, Seeing Carr
was with them, the Democrats began
voting and showed q quorum, Then
Carr, to their CONSERVATION, changed his
vote and the resolution was passed amid
boisterous applause and laughter on the
Republican side and in the lobby,
DEMOCRATS pENouNcE CARR,
It was done so quickly that 1t raised
the Democratic hair, and tonight the
Democrats who use strong language are
denouncing Carr as a rank Republican,
which wounds no Republican feelings
and pleases Carr,
The House being disposed to caucus
the returns without declaring the result,
and the Senate being Of another mind,
here is another deadlock. The Repub.
lican Senators say they are not in hur-
ry to 60 into Joint convention, since the
delay does not alter the fact that General
Gof Is elected Governor, The talk to-
night Is that the situation will compel
some sort Of compromise between the
Senate and House. Judge Flemlng's
managers are much annoyed by thisturn
Of affairs, This is their opportunity to
begin TO steer by the constitution,
The Republican counsel and Chair
man Cowden have been giving careful
attention to the allegations In Judge
Fleming's notice OF contest, They find
that he has included many Democratic
voters who may come handy to Gof.
They also discover q great number Of
frauds and irregularities which the
Democratic counsel will find set forth in
GotI's notice. When the tussle begins
In earnest tho Republican side will
moro than hold Its own. c,B.u.

driving out on the prairie road near
South Bend on Sunday, Orlando Martin
heard the screams Of a little child near
the farm Of Henry Kale, Martin at
once got out OF his vehicle and ran into
the yard, and was surprised to see a
large Plymouth Rock rooster standing
over the PROSTATE form OF little girl.
The rooster was growing in triumph, and
as Martin approached he saw that the
cock had been fighting the little girl,
who was lying on her back with her
hands over her face and screaming from
pain and fear. Her hands, wrists and
face were covered with blood. The
rooster had savagely attacked her and
had attempted TO get at her eyes as was
evident from the spur marks on the III.
tie Child's face. Martins arrival had
been timely, as the child was almost ex-
hausted from her contest with the say.

A BLOOpY BOUT.
A Prize Fight which Was Not According to
the Standard Rules,


the Standard Rules.
CHICAGO, Jan. 22.-Young Murphy,
the colored pugllist Of Wisconsin, and
William Westons fought four rounds in
an open air ring near Hessville, Ind,
yesterday, Although tho mercury was
at zero the men stripped to the waist and
fought with great desperation. In the
fourth round Murphy knocked the un.
known of his feet with q terrific blow
under the Jaw, which cut the flesh and
started the blood to flowing in great
streams. As soon as the unknown got
on his feet he seized bottle and cracked
Murphy's second lanother negro from
wisconsin, on the head, and stretched
him out upon the ground. The mans
face was cut in frightful manner, the
blood freezing as fast as 1t ran from the
gashes. He lay insensible for half an
hour. After having made this onslaught
the unknown seized ring stake and
defended himself from the negroes, who
were swarming into the ring with razors
and threatening his life, His second
then drew u revolver, and both men
made their escape. The fight was for
$75 q side. The money Is believed to
be in the pockets Of the stakeholder.

LET THE NEGRO ALONE.
Ex Congressman Norwood Says the
COlored Ballot lie a Failure.

Ex- Congressman Norwood Says the
Colored Ballot lie Failure.
ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPArcH.l
WASHINGTON, September 3.-Ex-Rep-
resentative Norwood, who has made some
reputation as novelist, has the following
to say of the negro question in an interview
to-day:
Congress- under Republican rule, may pass
new Federal election laws, but they will be a
dead letter. 1t is too late to interfere with the
affairs of the South in that way, now. Our
people will not regard any legislation intended
to place the negro over them. And the senti-
menT IN the North is against it. The negro has
advanced among US as rapidly as he is capable
of, and the best thing is to let him alone
Thinking people all over the country see this
1t IS only few politicians that are trying to
keep up the agitation. We are not q savage
and brutal people: we are kind and humane to
the negro. And. more than that we know
him. He is not capable of government and
the intelligent people of the South will not
permit themselves to be dominated by him,
Any attempt to force him forward by Fed
cral legislation will result to his own disadyan-
tango and to the injury of the person that at
tempts 1t. Let us alone and we will take care
OF him. He is the laborer of the South, as
necessary t6 the welfare of the section as such
as is the labor in the factories in the North.
We have no inclination to, and cannot afford
w. uppltss VI III treat MIN. WEat men OF
son wants ignorance or superstition nut above
intelligence? As a voter the negro is a failure
After Is years of fostering and education Won
have, for an example, those negroes in Georgia
leaving their work and their homes to follow
and worship a crank who says he is the Savior,
and when he is put in the insane asylum they
fall down and worship one of their number who
jumps up and proclaims himself as God.
The ballot with the negro, take him as
whole, is toy he has got tired of. He has no
idea of the purpose of the ballot or how to use
it. He has used it in blind sort of way until
he is tired of it. and he does not go to the polls
now unless there is some special reason for it,
If he is working for man who wants him to
vote he will go up and cast his ballot because
his employer wants him to. Otherwise you
must give him drink or a quarter to induce
him to vote, Some such reason as that must
influence him. He would rather stay at his
work than lUse the time
Some Republican politicians accuse us of sup
pressing the negro votes because they are not
cast, The fact is merely that the great mass of
the negroes, not knowing the use of the ballot.
have got tired now that the novelty is worn off,
and they do not want to vote. They stay at
home.
