The cause of the fight, in which over GOO persons were engaged, was bad blood, engendered several years ago, involving a tax for railroads. Tlie row began by the marshal of the day striking a man for insulting a woman. The blow was tlie signal for a free fight, lasting two bouts, in which ever)* conceivable weapon was used. The result was four men probably fatally wounded, and tlie serious injury of twen ty-five others. The Irish element were the aggressors, and were badly worsted. The best citizens of Troy Mills participated. Col. Bob Ixgkrsoll’s Pr.ornFcv.— Some vestiges of an early religious train ing still linger about Colonel Boh Itiger- soll, says the New York Herald.

B., says tlio arctic expedi tion steamship Gulnarc, under command' of Capt. l’almer, fifteen days out from Washington, was towed into the harbor of St. Johns this morning by the tug Daisy. The voyage of the Gulnare over the first stage of her proposed cruise was almost completely uuevcntftil. Her boiler showed symptoms of weakness shortly after leav ing Washington, and gradually tlie polar steamer l;ad to rely on lier sails for her propelling power. Her fire boxes com pletely collapsed, and a prudential course, taking off the strain of lier whole ma chinery, was adopted without hesitation. The ship's company were all in good health aud spirits, and anticipated an eventual success. It is probable at least a fortnight will be required to put the en gine department of the Gulnare in good, # reliable condition, and it is fortunate that* there were ample facilities in St. Johns The Cotton Crop.

Synopsis of the Speech of Hon. A. H. Stephens in Augusta. .From the Chronicle and Constitution al at we learn that tbe“Great Commoner” and representative of the eighth congres sional district in Georgia, Hou. A. H. Ste phens, received quite an ovation in Au gusta on Monday afternoon, when re sponding to an invitation to address his constituents on the political questions of tlie day. After a most graceful and apposite in troduction by Hon. James S. Hook, Mr. Stephens spoke in substance as follows: He felt, he confessed, a little embarrass ed at the introduction of his friend, Judge nook. It was true he needed no in troduction to a Georgia audience, ne spoke here forty years ago, but how many changes had taken place since then. This grove was a familiar place to him. ne supposed he might look upon this as a public reception. This meeting was ex ceedingly gratifying to him. Before di r - ferences had prevailed; now, all was har mony. He supposed that this was because the nomination at Cincinnati had given such general satisfaction. [Applause.] He had been asked if he was satisfied with the nomination. How could he be any thing else? He had been working for it for ten years, for eight years earnestly. It had been urged that Hancock was too poor, and had no money. It looked as if they were determined to take no man who hadn't a “barrel.” [Laughter aud applause.] Hancock was overlooked. He knew of but two men in Congress who were urging his claims. One was Senator Wallace, of Pennsylvania, and the other was himself. Ever since that cele brated order, No. 40 [applause], he liad been for Hancock, first, last, and all Jhy time. The politicians ‘ w £ h l0 notbin^tjkg^gYespectfulofhis colleagues, but it *was so. A cyclone of popular favor struck the convention and the people' representatives nominated Hancock. He was afraid that it would nominate some body that he couldn't support, in which case he thought bis counsels would no longer be of any use to the country. If the Democratic party made no blunders, Hancock and English would go into the presidential cliair and there would be no dispute about the coimt. They must stay in the ship; dou't go off into little skids. The ship was the good old Jeffersonian creed of Democracy. Jeffeisqn said all men were born equal. Yes, they were all created equal in the right to tlie same pro tection, the right tojuslice. All men were not created equal iu strength or color or intellect. No man has any right to hurt another. The Jefferson Democracy Was equal rights, equal justice in sight of tlie law. The Democracy everywhere had professed a desire to accord equal justice to all. Judge Snead had carried this out in this circuit and lie believed the same was correct, he said, of all the circuits tlie State. Stand fast to tlie Jeffersonian principles, make no blunder, and the Democracy wilt win a great victory. He knew Hancock, and would vouch for him as a great soldier and a great civilian. English was as true to Democratic principles as the needle is to the pole. General Weaver, the candi date of the Greenback party, was a very clever man, but he had takcu the wrong road. He advised him to come down and jine the groat Democratic band. He knew General' Garfield well. He had always regarded him as a man of rare probity and of high intellect. He did not oppose Gen. Garfield because of any defect in morals, so far as lie knew.; of any defect in intel lect. He never heard of the Credit Mobi- lier scandal until after he was nom inated. He did not know whether the charges were true or not. He had not tuet him often, and locked upon him as a Christian gentleman. He op posed Garfield not because of those charges, but he disagreed with him on political principles, aud would support Hancock against him. He opposed him because he'advocated doctrines in Con gress which were ruinous to the country. He took an earnest part in demonetizing silver. This was the great question oT this country. Silver and gold had been the money of the world from the earliest ages. Frotn the time that Abraham bought the care of Machpelab for four hundred shekels of silver, silver ksd been money. From that day down silver and gold had been regarded as money by all nations. We have heard much about the depre ciation of silver. Gen. Garfield and his party were responsible for it. In 1S73 silver commanded three per cent, premi um. A rider to the appropriation bill to demonetize silver was adopted in Con- gross. Gen. Garfield sustained that ac tion. After that you couldn’t pay a debt in silver. The main cause of the panic was that more than one-lialf of the metal coin of the world was stricken from the money list. Everything went up to the gold standard. The failures in the coun try amounted to $800,000,000, more than one-third of the public debt. The de monetizing of silver was the cause of this. In'” 1873 Congress passed a law make half dollars and quarter dol lars. The two half dollars only weighed 392 grains, standard weight. The stand ard dollar weiglied 412J grains, so that two halves or four qSirtcrs were not equal to a silver dollar of tlie fathers. These coins were called subsidiary coin, but they were really clipped coins. There were '.5,000,900 of this coin in the coun try. Last year a poor man who went into a brokers office only got 90 cents for EVERYTHING LOVELY! Canal - Waterworks - Jockey CInb - “Uom” Bonds ' and City Currency - The Hatchet Burled - Gathering Around the boeial Mandamus. A flood of good fortune struck the city yesterday with all the suddenness of that when it was offered, seeing that it must pass, ho voted for, it. Mr. Garfield '"lie wouhl*tunf^ooJq 1 ah the inints and spnngT/cshet. It looks «7faU onr pet coin, if needs be, live hundred millions of project? are nearly ripe enough to pluck, silver. Ho would place It in the; vaults and issue to the people certificates of sil ver. All over the world tlieso certificates would be just as good as tlie metal itself. The silver cost something to transport. It would he dollar for dollar all tho world over. Some were afraid oFbelng drowned in a flood of silver. This was tho last way he ever expected to die. Let It come. He was opposed to General Gar field because he was in favor of the pres ent system of taxation. -Hethought our syitcm of taxation was tlio worst in the world, -worse even than that of down trodden Ireland. Taxes should be equal. In his judgment the internal revenue sys tem should be abolished. Stamp duties were what our fathers fought against. Tlie internal revenue was levied princi pally against tobacco and com, moro than two-tliirds of tlie hundred and five mil lions. He said tobacco and com, lie might say tobacco and Whisky. He said levy taxes upon foreign luxuries. Let those people who want to use tlieso lux uries pay for them. Gen. Garfield said: “Let us alone.” So said tlie devils when our Saviour drove them out. He thought our system of internal revenue was pos sessed by devils. Let us turn them out. We must not let them alone. He had not done much, but he liad done all lie could. He had a bill before Congress for an appropriation for a public building in Augusta, it was the first bill introduced. lie worked for it night and day. General Cook, of Georgia, the chair man of the committee bad charge of it. It was put down No. 43. He believed that next session the appropriation would pass He would do all he could. He succeeded in getting $20,000 for the improvement of the"Savannah river above Augusta He had represented this district many years—eight years since the war. He al- was dealt with his constituents with perfect fiankness. He would not hold his place a day if he saw’ no hopeful prospect of doing his people good. Six weeks ago the prospect was so gloomy that he came almost to the conclusion that he could do no more good in Congress. He did not intend to retire under fire, lie would tell them that. [Applause], He did not intend to retire uniter a charge that he was mis representing his people. But now the light was bright indeed. He believed Hancock would be elected if the Democ racy acted wisely aud prudently. He thought maybe if tlie people wished him to return to Washington he could do some good yet under the Hancock ban ner. He thought if they desired it, he would be willing to serve them another term. With Hancock as President, with harmony and justice pre vailing all over the country, with equal justice accorded to all, white and black, what a grand spectacle would be pre sented to the worid. Ours is the most wonderful system of government in the world. There is none such in history. It is the grand desideratum that Aristotle sought for but never found. The prob lem" had been solved by American states men. It was the grandest system ever instituted J»y man. Tlie star of hope rises in the East, and he called upon all to unite without distinction of past party or ganization, race or color. Mr. Stephens spoke for an hour and half to an attentive audience.

Tho publication of the report of tlie finance committee a few daVs since, led to a revival of the interest in tho unsettled condition of a certain amount of Boss bonds and city currency.. The bond commission, actuated purely by a desire to clear away all complica tions regarding these particular bonds,; and to leave the financial atmosphere without a cloud, met and passed the reso lution which appeared in yesterday’s is sue. In the afternoon, the city council met by call of its chairman, Felix Corput, Esq. The committee from the bond com mission, consisting of Col. W. H. Ross, H. L. Jewett and Capt. J. P. Fort, were present in the hall, and when the meet ing had been called to order and the pur pose of tho assembling explained, Mr. H. L. Jewett, in behalf of the commission, read the following preamble and resolu tion : - Whereas, It has heretofore been de termined by this board that certain bonds, known as the “Ross” bonds, of the city of Macon, and a certain amount of small bonds, known as city currency, were not fundable, and it being the desire of this board that the question as to whether said bonds and currency are fundable should be judicially determined; there fore, Besotted, That Henry L. Jewett, Wil liam II. Ross and John P. Fort be ap pointed a committee to confer with the mayor and council, and ascertain if terms can be agreed upon to submit the ques tion to the court for its decision. Mr. Jewett then stated that the sole ob ject of the commission was to bring about an amicable settlement, and suggested as the proper way for the council to meet this action of the commission, was to instruct the city attorneys to sue out a mandamus and have it served upon the commission. In tliis way they would be brought into court, and a judicial decision might he had upon the question as to- whether or not the bonds and currency named could be funded. The council then called upon Messrs. N. E. Harris and S. H. Jemison for an opinion upon tlie legality of the meaus suggested. Mr. Harris stated that this being vaca tion, Judge Simmons could only pass upon the question as an arbitrator, and that, should either party be dissatisfied, the case could not be reviewed by the Supreme Court, and that if tlie mandamus was served now it must be returned to the regular term of court. Some argument was had upon the ques tion as to whether the time of return might not be waived; but it was finally agreed that the return must be made as the law directs, in order to give either party the privilege of having it reversed, or to bind all parties, Colonel Ross stated that, personally, he was willing to accept Judge Simmons’ de cision as final, but he had no authority to bind the commission. Mr. Jewett said tlie delay made no dif ference with the commission; that they only wished the affair settled one way or another. Upon 'notion of AUlenuan Flanders the city attorneys were ordered to sue out mandamus and have it served upon tlie commission, to compel them to fund the bonds aud currency under discussion. It is understood tlis’ a 1 - vase goes into con*-> — « regarded only as a friendly suit. Tho committee were then invited to remain during the sitting of the coun cil. Tlie petition of the “Jockey Club, : composed of some sixty of the best citi zens of Macon, was read, asking tliat tlia control of the park during one week,either in the spring or fall, be granted them for the purpose of having races.

After views pro and con had been exten sively presented, the resolution * was adopted. The committee on education presented their report. It elicited considerable dis cussion. We make a few extracts, show ing the drift of the document: 1. The committee assume that the peo- 2. That they must be rei igionsiy edu- caled, iu order to meet the demands of tire world. The committee urged that the bible be recate the disposition on the part of the public school authorities in keeping it out. Declares that it is time that public senti ment speak out upon this subject. The report was ably prepared aud sus tained by a fine line of argument. It at tacked the public school system as now administered, and claimed that it had lowered the standard of education. After considerable discussion the report was adopted and .requested to be published. At 10 o’clock the conference proceeded to the election of delegates to the South Geoigia Annual Conference, which con venes in Hawkinsville in December next.

At six o’clock last evening the confer ence adjourned sine die, after a very in teresting and profitable session. A large majority of the members left for their res pective homes last night. Macon District Conference- -second Day. The conference was opened with relig ious sendee. o-i.e ioiiowing report on the Sunday school question was made by the commit tee on the general state of the church: “Your committee,to whom has been en trusted the duty of reporting with special reference to the Sunday school interest, say: “We find, upon'examination of the sta tistics famished by the pastors, that there aie, at present, in operation in the various charges, forty-seven Sunday schools. These reports show a decrease of six schools, compared with the reports of last year to the annual conference. “Your committee regret to.notice this decrease, yet presume it may be accounted for satisfactorily by the pastors. No avail able data has been furnished from which we are able to make a report as to mem bers in attendance. About two-tliirds of our schools reported are using the Interna tional Lessons, and wherever used they are giving satisfaction. We wonld earnest ly recommend that all the schools supply themselves with our own literature as rap idly as possible. Nearly all of the pastors report their Sunday schools in a prosper ous condition. “Y'our committee entertains a fear, however, that iu the internal manage ment of quite a number of the schools, the plans employed are very little re moved from the old time customs of a generation ago, which have long since been worn threadbare. But in the multi plication of machinery, we should be careful not to lose sight of the great ob ject of onr eflbrts-^ihe salvation of the children—yet it will be found that in proportion as we introduce methods and plans of organization, and discipline, that are ever fresh and attractive and that f low with life and energy, will the chil- ren be drawn to the Sunday school, and their interest kept alive, “The complaint that parents are not in terested iiuSunday-schools is made by al most every pastor, and yet your commit tee believes that much of this difficulty would be removed if our pastors would, iu obedience to the discipline, preach iu ev ery congregation on this subject. ‘We would respectfully call the atten tion of the ministry to the clause in the Book of Discipline requiring every Sun day-school to be organized into a mission ary society, whenever practicable.” This report was made the basis of a long and interesting discussion as to methods and appliances, by the members of the conference. Some things that were said were wise and some tilings otherwise, The whole discussion was fruitful of good and led many to a higher and a better conception of the great Sunday-school work. The hour for public service hav ing arrived the conference adjourned un til tliree o’clock. AFTERNOON SESSION. Several new names were added to the roll of membership. The committee on church records made their report, and recommended that here after the pastors see that the books of the quarterly conference are brought up to the annual session of the district confer ence. The report was adopted. .The foreign missionary work formed the theme of discussion for the remainder of the evening. Dr. J. S. Key, president of the board of missions, made the first speech, abounding in facts and wise sug gestion. Rev. K. II. McClain, who has recently been appointed as a missionary to China by the M. E. Church South, was introduced and made a plain statement of his convic tions and his future purposes. He sails for Shanghai about the middle of Octo ber next. After a lengthy debate on the general question, the conference adjourned. Macon District Coulcrcnce—Third Day. The conference, after opening services, Reorganization of the Central City Jockey Onto of Macon. In obedience to a notice published on the 4th instant in this paper, calling upon the members of the Central City Jockey Club to meet at the office of Mr. L. D. Ripley, on the evening of the 7th instant, and all other persons who desired to be come members and to assist in reorganiz ing tbe club to meet with them, qaite a number of our best citizens responded to the call, and we are pleased to state effect ed a complete organization. Major W. H. Ross was elected president, Mr. S. B. Jaques, vice president, Captain W. W. Parker, secretary, and Joe Bond, treas urer. About seventy-five of our best and wealthiest citizens have already enrolled their names as membeis. and — ^ *. m in a tew days be placed on the list. There are some new features, and much needed improvement contemplated in the rules and regulations governing the con tests in speed under the management of this association, which will make a new departure in the conduct of such contests. A large portion of the grand stand is to be devoted exclusively to the use of the ladies and their escorts, with ushers or stewards to exclude all improper persons, and suppress any boisterous or improper behavior; in fact, under the proposed new arrangement, nothing that could offend the eye or ear of a lady will be tolerated on the course or grounds. In addition to the officers above mentioned there is a directory composed of five members, and a dozen or more stewards with their in signia of office, who, with the police, are to be vigilant to preserve perfect decorum. These measures will enable our lady friends to grace the meetings with their presence and enjoy the contests with im punity. The club proposes to become a member of the national association,which will place the course and grounds while holding their spring or fail meetings under the arbitrary rules and regulations of that association, which of itself insures perfect fairness in the conduct of all contests, as any im proper conduct or violation of the rules subjects the horse, his owner, and his rider or driver to expulsion from all the courses under the national association in America. The Central City Jockey CInb have’ also in contemplation the formation of a great Southern circuit by uniting with them the cities of Atlanta, Augusta, Savan nah, Albany, Thomasville, Jacksonville and Tallahassee. Contests in speed between blooded stock is rapidly becom ing a national amusement, and when properly managed, an innocent one, nor does anything less pretentious conduce more to the material prosperity of the country at large, and of the cities where their meetings are held. We certainly wish every success to the undertaking of the C. C. J. C., of Macon, aud feel that the character of the officers and members comprising the dub justifies us in predict ing it. take Simmons liver Regulator.
