The violent and unlawful character OF
the Indiana democracy has been a good
while notorious. The recent action of
Judge Mitchell Of that tate, calls forth
this severe d just rebuke from the Chica-
go Inter-Ocean; He was regarded as a man
OF very moderate views, perhaps as much
Greenbacker as q Democrat. certainly
AS represent itative of 1.-THE young and
progressive" Democracy, and hence the
disgraceful exhibition which he made of
himself in the Illegal organization of the
State Senate is the more deplorable. Judge
Mitchell IL a member Of that court which
declared The election of Lieut. Governor
Robertson to be valid and the claims OF
Alonzo 5. smith to be spurious, and yet he
is found giving the aid of his high official
station 20 ktwle,s conspiracy for de-
barring Robertson from the exercise of the
functions which the people elected him To-
perform. 1t is not improbable that some
of the Illegal acts of the Democratic ma
lorlty IN the Senate may become matters
OF legal investigation, and it will be an
additional scandal if Judge Mitchell be
found making part Of a court of last re-
sort which will adjudicate upon a It's Of
u-urpatiou in which he took an active
part,

THEY FOUGHT WITH KNIVES.
The Notorious Jack Cunningham
Engages Mark Hutchins IN a
Desperate Battle.

Shortly before the arrival of the
east bound Alton Hummer" late
Saturday evening, Marcus Hutch
ms, a well behaved porter employ
ed by the Windsor, became in
VOWED in a difficulty with the no.
torious black Jack Cunningham.
1t Is asserted by witnesses that
Jack began the quarrel and struck
the first blow, after which Hutch
ms showed fight and went for his
man in a very wicked manner. Both
men had knives and after the first
lunge each did his best to carve the
others life out. For fully two
minutes they gouged at each other
viciously and when bystanders in
terfered both men were dripping
with blood. In spite of Jacks ad-
vantage IN getting his knife out
first, Hutchins inflicted the most
telling wounds. Cunningham re-
ceived two cuts, either one of which
would have proved fatal had the
knife slipped one quarter of an inch
further than it did. One of them
was an ugly rip on the right side
of the neck and the other a on
the temple, within a quarter of an
inch of the eye. Numerous body
wounds of minor Importance were
inflicted and the doctors we're kept
busy sewing up Jacks tough hide
half the night. The other fighter
received a bad cut on the hand,
while his sixth rib was laid almost
bare by Cunningham's knife.
Hutchins stated to areporter this
morning that Cunningham had sew
eral times threatened his life, and
that they had been enemies for sew
eral weeks. Cunningham now de-
MES that he had a knife and says
he did not cut Hutchins. The tes-
timony of witnesses to the affray
places all the blame on Cunning
ham.
Both men were arraigned before
Justice Winscott this morning and
bound over until June 6, when they
will appear again. Hutchins' bond
was fixed at 500, which he readily
furnished. Cunningham was unable
to find anyone to sign his 5000 bond
and the darkey lies in Jail. He is
weak as a result of his injuries, but
no serious results are looked for.
