THE QUESTION or UNDERGROUND ROADS.

The letter giving an account OF the under
ground railways OF London, which appears on
another page of this issue. is of especial interest
to tho people Of New-York City at the present
time. Not much practical progress is seemingly
being made toward the construction Of tho
underground system recommended by the
Rapid Transit Commissioners. nevertheless the
fact remains that to a certain extent this city
is committed to a system OF subtcrranean rail-
roads. The letter in question relates prln-
cipally to tho electric road underneath the
Thames, which has been in operation nearly
two years, and by all accounts has proved
success. This tunnel is constructed at depth
of eighty or ninety feet below the surface-far
enough to make the obtaining OF right OF way
unnecessary, and also not to interfere in any
respect with the foundations of buildings. Tho
author of the system employed in the constfuc-
ton of this deep tunnel is Mr.. Greathead. whose
plan was brought to the attention of our Rapid
Transit Commissioners while their hearings
were in progress, but did not meet with any
largo degree of favor, although it had able adj
vocates behind it.
The fact that this deep-tunnel railway is run
by electricity is Of prime importance, since cleo
TRICKY VIII Ill all pTODdDlllty oc tnc dScit cHi-
ployed in tho New-York underground roads, no
combustion in the tunnels being allowed under
the restrictions laid down by the Commissioners.
According to our correspondent, good degree
of speed is obtaincd-as high as twenty seven
miles an hour at times-and the tunnels arc
absolutely free from the smoke, dust and cinders
which make travelling on the Metropolitan
underground lines in London almost ntolerable.
Even at the depth of nearly hundred feet the
atmosphere is not unpleasantly damp, but only
agrccably cool on a warm day. An electric
engine or motor is employed, and this also sup
plies light to the train. with the curious effect
that the lights diminish in brilliancy each time
tho train starts. on account Of the increased
power required in getting under way. This
is, of course, n serious objection. which ought
to be overcome. and probably will be in time.
Certainly NcwYorkers would not long put
I'D with what is nuisance in itself and ex-
oeedingly trying to the eyes of persons engaged
in reading.
Travel on the underground roads of London
cannot but cause residents of this city to re-
joice that they are not compelled to submit to
the annoyanccs and drawbacks Of the London
Metropolitan system. while at the same time q

Aaye decided not to pass the bill, which Is
facetiously entitled: "An act to cripple
the Democratic Mayor OF Pnwtucket." IL
may at some time cripple Republican

peculiar notions of their own and who
might Join with two Democrats In max
ing up the committees OF the Board OF

OF course this is Democratic city, but
there may be times that an unpopular
Democrat may be nominated by the Dem
ocrats and Republican Mayor elected.

come rather obnoxious to the Republicans

LAST NIGHTS RALLY.

The campaign in this city was opened
ia q most auspicious manner by the
Democrats last night. The hundreds OF
voters who gathered In Music Hall were
earnest and intelligent. They listened
10 the issues OF tho day and applauded
the speakers TO the echo.
II was refreshing TO rec that giant OF
Democracy, General Arnold, in the pre-
siding chair; to hear him tell OF the great
principles of the party, and expose the fal-
iacies Of Rhode Island Republicanism. Nc
man knows better than General Arnold
what the Republican party, during long
reign OF almost absolute power, kept from
the people; and what pernicious legisla-
tion they put upon the statute books.
The ovation that greeted Mr.. Wardwell
showed that the people had not forgotten
Ills firm, stalwart Democracy while
Lieutenant Governor and that he was q
1avorite OF the voters. His dignified
s,and relative To the cowardly charges
made against him by hirelings OF the press
was one beftting his position.
General Brennan took the meeting by
storm, and the remarks OF Mr.. German
same from one who had always becn in
.he thickest OF the fight for the people,
and knew full we'll the political hypocrisy
of the Republican party.
The presence OF DIR. DeGrandpre and Ed
itor Lenthier, and their earnest addresses,
showed clearly that the French people are
thoroughly aware OF what Democracy
sneaps 70 the foreign-b born.

DAWSON THE VICTOR.
He Does 0'ConnelI Up in the
Twentieth Round.
The Battle Hard Fought One and the Bos-
tonian Was Game 20
the Last

SAN FRANoIsCo. Dec. S.-George Daw-
son the clever young Australian and Doc
O'Connen, OF Boston, fought before a
iarge audience st the California Athletic
club tonight. Interest in the Goddard
Maher fight was lesssn ned by the battle
here. Both men reported in good condi-
tion. Dawson was the favorite before
entering the ring at odds of 20 to S and q
combination of Dawson aud Goddard sold
against o Council and Maher ) 10 1.
O'Connell entered the ring amid ap
plause at sos p. "a. closely followed by
Dawson. who received an ovation. Time
was called at 9.05. O'ConneI led first,
but Dawson got in the first punch on the
Bostonian's wind Dawson closed the
round with right over the kidneys.
Second Round-O'Conneu got IN q good
left on the wind. Dawson gave light
right and left near the ropes, but O'Con-
nell drove aim back with an overland leIt
end soon followed with two left smashes
on Dawson's cheek. Dawson landed on
the head as the round closed.
Third-O'Connell dashed in a number Of
let's Dawson landed d staggering lett on
the chin, but O'COnnell forced him to run
from a left iab followed by right handler.
During the fourth, nth and sixth rounds
Dawson found trouble in reaching the Bos-
seventh, O'Conneil struck Dawson blow
tn sickened hin, ana the referee warned
the Bostonion if it occurred again he would
give the light to Dawson. O'Connell ap-
parently had a strong lead. while Dawson's
blows lacked steam.
O'Connell had the fight his way until the
twelfth round, wnen MS blows were lack
ing in force ana poorly timed, while the
Australian recovered his equanimity and
fought his usual careful battle. He bore
but few traces of the battle, while tne Bos-
tonian's nose aud face were raw and
swollen.
During the thirteenth, fourteenth, ff-
teenth and sixteenth rounds Dawson kept
the Bostonian dodging about the ring
TO evade his right. O'Connen was work
ing hard but failed to accomplish
much. Dawson let up several times
when he apparently could have finished
the fight. 1t was seen the Bostonian was
outmatched and Dawson had the fight his
way to the end. O'Connen dropped to the
floor continually and fought aud cIinched
IN desperation. In the twentieth and last
round Dawson worked his opponent into
the ropes, and as O'Connell bent his head,
dropped him fat on his back with an upper
cut knocking MIN out.
