THE PROPOSED PRIZE FIGHT.

Corbett's bout with Sharkey in San
Francisco n short time ago has led to ar
rangements for regular prize fight he
tween them as soon as the proper train
ing can be gone through with, and a de-
sirable place agreed upon. Corbett is a
scientific boxer, we'll up in all the details
of the work. and has hitherto downed
every man who stood up against him,
while Sharkey is sailor, with any
amount of wind and grit, and with a
human tornado. in short contest. He
surprised Corbett and himself too, prob
ably, in the recent boxing match, his
blows being so powerful and his ability
champion was almost used up when the
police stopped the fight the end of the
fourth round. AS in the case, of Corbett
and FitZsimmons, the great difficulty in
where the bruisers can hammer away at
each other without being disturbed.
The laws of this country are so rigid
against the brutal sport and the DISPOSE
ton so general to enforce them, that it
will be wellnigh impossible TO effect a
meeting anywhere in the United States.
Nevada however, is mentioned rs offer
ing chance for place somewhere
within its limits, and there is some talk
of IA stretch of ground in the vicinity of
Yuma California; but the pugilists ana
their hackers will, in all likelihood, dis
cover when the time for the fight draws
near that the same vigilance will be de-
veloped in those States as was shown in
Texas and ARKANSAS Should these
chances fail, it is said that Dan Stuart's
Mexican concession, the place where Fitz-
simmons ''wound up Maher in such
short order, may be made Use of and the
fight occur there. 1T is certainly greatly
to the credit of the people of this country
that they have become so Disguised with
1.-The sport that it will be very difficult
to pull OFF, fight anywhere within
the limits of the United States.

cases where 1T may be necessary to ena-
BILE the President, as an executive officer.
to execute the decree of Congress JsJEz Fss
The President has been issuing bonds
under the plea of Maintaining sthe gold
reserve" There is no law maintaining
n gold reserve; and no constitutional
lawyer dare affirm that there is. That
the President has been using the pro-
ceeds of bonds to pay the expenses of gov
eminent instead of maintaining the gold
reserve no politician or lawyer, who has
any regard for his reputation, dare deny.
There is not a line in the constitution or
in any Legislative enactment comforting
such power upon the President In do
ing So he has trampled upon the consti-
tuition and usurped the power of Con-
gress. Yet the House, at the bidding of
English and American gold gamblers and
bond robbers, has basely surrendered the
prosperity, the property and the liberties
of the American people to the mercies of
these soulless pirates
If the President may, of his own Volt
tion, and at his pleasure, issue bonds
upon the American people and thus mort
gage their property and their labor, and
that of generations to come, at'his'' will,
then we need no constitution and no Con
gress-let us abolish them at once-as
unnecessary ana expensive appendages.
The President is supreme-the property
and the Liberties of the people are mt his
disposal-the people are his vassals Not
even the car of Russia or the Emperor
OF China would dare assume such unlm-
tied. power without precipitating a bloody
revolution. And yet an American Dem
ocratic President coolly and defiantly
assumes such powers, and Republican
House of Representatives cOwardly and
shamelessly and reasonably endorses it.
And the American people, drugged by mar
row, selfish, bigoted and unpatriotic par
tizanship,in their self-imposed ignorance,
their blind stupidity and criminal fol-
lowing after reasonable political leaders
and parties, sleep on while their prop
erty, their rights and liberties, one by one,
are stolen from them. Verify there will
be cruel awakening some of these
days; and what will that awakening
bring?

Some of the Northern Republican news
papers are making great fuss because
"the flag" is not among the decorations
at the Confederate auditorium in Rich
mond. As the sole object of the Confed-
crate reunion at Richmond is to celebrate
the memory of the storm Graded nation
that fell, why the celebrants should have
the unities of the occasion married and
Jared by the conspicuous appearance of
the flag under which their overwhelming
conquerors fought, is what few fair mind
ed people can tell. AS the United States
flag flies every day of the year in Rich
mond the flag that represents nothing
on Gods earth now, nor aught in the wa
ters below it might be allowed to fly
there one day, though it waken memories
that well might sleep Alexander Ga
Zette.
