It was tho intontion of the “plugs” to pitoh tho ring for tho prize-fight noar Hobart, whoto tho chickens were to have their battles, but ob- foction was medo by those interested in the main, and honce tho prizo-fightors and thoir frionds decided to got off at Liverpool, threo miles this side. About 100 people nlighted ot this place, and, after walking oroind in the brush for some time, a suitablo place for a ring ‘wan found, young troes weoro chopped down for stakes, and in about bialf an hour ovorything was in rondiness for tho fight. THE PRINCIPALS ‘woro Dan Carr, who is about 28 years of age, and had *“*shiod his castor” into the ring six times bofore. Ilo had o battlo in Liverpool, Tngland, in 1860, one with Jim Bronnon, nnother in Now York in 1807, and ono moro witli Patsoy Mooloy in Now Orlenns, in which ho was the vic- tor. ifofought *Red Manded Miko™ in 1872, and it woe o draw.

Thers yore no stakes on tho flght, neithor of tho men having nny money or frionds who had confidence onough in thelr prowess to risk any on them. _They gave out that thoy wanted o purse made up, and two men circulated asmong the orowd and gathered in subscriptions, which amounted to about $80. TIE BECONDS. John McKinny was choson referee, Billy Ed- wards umpire for Laylor, and Jim Young for Oarr. Taylor was seconded by Georgo Lrown, the negro, and Billy Maddon, while Carr wos attended to by Larry Bowers aud Jorry Dono- van. GETTING DEADY. While the men wero stripping, tho roughs omused themsolves by throwing snow-balls at ono anothor. A large one struck Jerry Donovan ou the back of tho hioad, whoreat ho became vory angry, and sworo that ho would punch tho head 8f thie noxt “*blaguard” who mado a fool of him- golf. ‘This romark stopped tho amuosoment, aud the “Inds" agsemblod around the ring to witncss the bruisors make thoir proparations. Taylor stripped tho better of tho two, his flesh appoar- ing to bo hard, whilo that of Carr was tiabby. Noithor Lad boon rigidly trained, aithough both wero in fair condition. At fivo minutes aftor 11 o'clock the men tood the seratch sud shook hands, Taytor wore blue knco-breeches, whito tocks and gaiters, while Carr was attired in o pair of duty wiite drawers, whioh had been cut off at tho knees, »qually filthy stookings and gaitors.

Ono of tho apectators was strickon down by an epiloptic fit, and ono of the soconds went to his nsalstance. His mouth was filled with snow, and be came around all right in n fow miuutos, Whiloha waa attended to, timo was called for tho THINTEENTS ROUND. Noitlior of the men had baon Lurt much up to this point. Taylor's noso was swollen and dis~ colorod, ono eya was _boj Inmu,fl to got blue, and his body was very rad H-nm the puniehmout it Lad recelved, while Qnrr did not show a mork, oxeopt n sorateh on his loft chack, from whioh tho blood tricklod down his faco,” Both, how- over, wero considerably fatigued.

GIVES I UP When timo was called Carr complained that s shonlder was too painful to coutinue the con- tost, and Lis soconds throw up tho spongo, It was'snid that he wanted to stop fighting &t tho oud of the fourtoonth round, but Lowors told him to rush, and be might succeed in putting in s sottler, Taylor proved himself to be the moro sciontific, Carr doponding for succoss mainly npon striliing hard, nud gotting in o chanco body- blow which would knock the_wind out of his op- ponent. 1t wns by this moans that ho won the 1ight two yoars ago. TUE GENEROUS VIOTOR, ‘Tho mill Jasted forty minutos, and Taslor, jubl- lant over his victory turned a handspring, but was 50 mnch oxhisusted that he foll on lus back, Herecolved tho money from the stakeholder, nd gonorously gavo Carr §10, and raisod $20 moro for him, CIEERFUL REMATKS, From the buglunlnf; to the end of the fight, tho seconds, particularly *niggor’ Brown and Donovan, wore chafling one avotbor. Brown would call Carr a ““duffor,” aud toll Taglor not to thrash him oll ot once; and Donovan would rotort by saying that ‘Caylor was tho * wealkost ™ ho evor saw, snd that ho had s woman who conld lick him. Tho bystandors also did much tnlkinfg, zod during the rosts manifested thoir impationco by ;omn§ out, “Give it to bim, Fnmy;" **Let him have it, Crrr;” *Why in h—1 don't you fight, and not stand there ah if you wero afraid of gotting hurt.,” Tho men paid 1o attontion to these romarks, but ono could soe thint they did not like them ovorwoll. ‘When' the fight ended, Donovan eaptured the rope for a clothes-lino, the whisky left was drank by the seconds, and the speotators walked ibroo miles up tho railrond-track to Hoburt to witness the contest botweon the chickons, Do o THE COCK-FIGHT, The cocking main took place on the third floor of the Ropor Hotol, which ia in the centre of tho Villagoof Iobart, a liconso having beon pro- cured {rom tho authoritics.

Owing to the pressnco of some of the intor- oBted porsons at tho prize fight, the disputes botweon the chickens did not commence until about 8 o'clock. At that hour there wore about 200 people in the room—a miscellaneons crowd of-gamblers, clorks who play inro and bet money when they bave it, about 1wo dozen roughs, four thiovos, and fifteen saloon-kospors, tho ro- mainder being Hoosfors and laboring men. ‘These fellows amuscd thomselves in various ‘ways during tho intorvals botwoon tho battles, the majotily going to o bor in the cornar to drinlk Leer, or down stairs to znothor bor where whisky eould bo bad, Others apent the time in making bota on tho noxt fight, or on the ro- sultof the muin, snd commienting upon the fighting qualities of Northern nnd Bouthern birds, There wero & fow mon of reapectability Mmm'i“m mob, but thoy kopt very quiet, did not mix with the others, and seomed intont on only one thimg—socing & chicken main.

LIGHT ON TEE MAD-DOG QUESTION. Youtorday afternoon tho Aleyor was waitod on by a largo dologation of respoctablo citi- zong, mostly residents of that part of tho Fif- toonth Ward lying west of what was onco Roeuben stroet, but which, since it has fallon into tho han’ § of Kentuckians, hag beon eatlod Ashland ave o, because a part of it is lined with elms. Thoy informed Mr. Colvin that thoy wished to tallk to him on mattors of some im- portanco, ond he, after learning that thoy sup- ported tho Poople's ticket lust wintor, aud were consaquontly his constituents, invited them into his privato ofico, whore thoy sat down npon the naw chalrs thorei, which, having been froshly pninted, aro apt'to adhoro to the occupauts thercof whan they attompt to rise, #o that the Aayor's Sccrotary hos to be called in to relievo vivitors from their attachments, who do not get off uttorly froo, howaver, bolug neatly marked in alternate strapos of red, yollow, aud whito, #o that, scon from the rear, thoy resomble civilized zebhras walking on thelr hind logs. Tho loader of tho dologation informed Mr. Colvin that they had catled to seo him on the mad-dog quostion. Tha Mayor ropliod that it was s subject of cousderablo importance, and one to which ho lud givon s good desl of thought. 'Cheir rogion, hie know, had boon infestod with thoso pests, and ho lnd issuod an order requiring all dogs to be muzzled. ‘That, of courso, way mero- Iy & tomporary mensura. The Peoplc’s party in- tended Lo také np tho quostion, and disposo of it, but up to dato it had not roached it, having been busiod in passing an ordinance allowing snloon-keopers to do what they had beon_doing for somo time without any ordinance, Ie ha thought of recommending the purchiase of mad- stones, one to be kept at each Polico Station, but the oity was hard uv just now. ‘Thero wayn Bnpulnr sn{'ing about the lairof the dog that it oue bolng good for the bito. This Lo bo- lievod to b true in cortain casos, but whothor it nprliml to mad dogs lie did not lkuow. Tho Chairman replied that the Mayor did not underatand thom, Tho{ wished him to kunow that they came to raiso their voices agaiust tho delusion that there woro such things as mad dogs—nt least in thoir seotion. Thoy wero all quiet, woll-bohinved nnimals, which had to work hnrd to got cnongh to ent, and had no tima to run around biting people, like pampored curs in tho aristooratie wards, Tho whole cry and clamor about mad doga in their ward was gotten up bg tho polico, and wasdoing J)mpurty-]mldom gront harm, since it depreointed roal estate and thado pooplo shiy of buying up there. Tho Mayor roplied thoughtfully that, whilo ho liad nover scon & mad dog, yeb there was n gen- oral fuaprossion that such things existed, "o would, i thoy liked, rofor tho ullb;cct ta tho Board of Hoalth for disoussion. That concorn lindl vory littlo to do, aud could just as woll study up that niattor as anything clio. Tho Chuivman snid tlm{ did mnot want it re- forred {o tho Board of Ifonlth, but of Police. 1o wanted the Mayor to undorstand thut the ontlemen present wero o)l property-ownors and Einyors, © Though tholr ‘conteibutions woro amall, yot they outitlod them to somo share in public Lonofits, such as five-ongines, polico, ote. ¢ hopnid only & one-hundred-thousundtn part of tho taxos collectod, he was ontitled to that Jroportion of the timo of & policowan ; or, singe there wore 500 on the forco, oue ought to wateh his promises about six minutos a day. But tho fack was that thoy did not got whit they woro ontitlod to, owlng to tho canning dovicos and subtle tricks of tho pollcomon dotailed for duty up thore, Sinco thoy bna no sowors intholr scotion, tho ground wns froquently quito wob, ‘Tho water wasapt to stand or lie thore all apring, and policimen doteilod for _auty, dialiking o wot thelr foot, uked this mad-dog ' busiuoss in ordor to nhirk work, A wook boforo, au ofileer golng ou his poat early in the morning had scon a in- nocont and blameloss dog belonging to Mra, Uonsidine, who lived on tho Ridgoville road, lying (‘mully on the walk, First he kicked tha dog, which yelped and ran ofY, the oficer follow- ing, and orying *3ind dog.” ~All the small boys in tho nolghborhood joiued In the chase, throw- lug logs of wood, lumps of clay, and such othor things s camne handy, whilo the dog, not nnder- standing this at all, ruu off aoross the prairle, vith ity tonguo_hanging out, At Just tho oflicor shot it, aftor it had boon knooked over with a brioln, ~ Thon ho wont off to tho station, whore they gouuht to tho doath.

And since ho was mightily tived with the running, aml tho oxcitomont, and the dangor of tho day, ho nslod tho Borgeant if he might rost liim, and the Horgaant said ho might, fo lio gat liim down by tho fire, aud smoked his plpe, and paid no attention to his businss, Whild tho Borgannt sont word to tho station thab this gallant man_ had_Xilled n mad dog at tho rink of hla own lifo, while {t was no mad dog at all, but only the harmloss nmusement of 3irs, Constdino and hor childran, Bo it wns with thomall.

GORDON. A roporter called upon Dy, Mitohell yostorday to nacortain bis roply, if any, to tho lotter of Mr. Gordon, which was published in yoatordny moraing's papora, Dr. Mitoholl anid that it was not his intontion to nuswer by & communioation, 28 ho did not desiro to discuss o mattor of tho Kkind fn tho papors, but that Lo had no objoction to stating tho naturo of what he bolioved waa A JMISUNDERSTANDING by Mr. Gordon of his position. To'use his own words, hio said briofly that 3r. Gordon i misled by an incorrect roport of lis romarks, ag well as of the circumetances under which thoy wero ut- tered. Tho Times gavo tho idon that ho usod the word untruth whon he roally said that his (Mr, Gordon's) roprosentation of the factsin tho sacrob vossion wns not o strictly correct ropresoen- tation, possibly avising from misundorstanding «I:Ir ‘x‘nimunutmcfion. In rogard to the charge of oing ¥ ‘! GNKIND AND COWARDLY under the ciroumstancos, ete.,” lio wished to stato that ho was almplfi commonting on o mat- tor that had slready beon made public, Mr.. Gordon's protast raspocting Mr. Barry's spooel: drow tho inference that it wns an argumont, whereagjit was'only a farowall addross thatdid not rolato to tha trinl dircctly. Mr, Eberhardt’s ob- joation was nlso an fuformal ono as to cortain Dowors of tho Council, aud wns answored to his Batiafaction ab tho timo. To explein further would mako it nocessnry to go baforoe the public with proofs of mattors coming up iu_the #corot gesalon, This ho could not do. Ho bolisved that Mr. Gordon was AN IMPETUOUS TUT BINOERE dofendor of Mr. McCarthy, and, while Prof. Mitehiall did not racede from the position taken, {hab in his protost be had given uttorance to Acige unwise and unnuthorized inferences, ho nmt;lm(. assume {hat he had witltally told any un- truth, THE COUNCIL, Mr, Mitcholl alno siated that it was due to the Councit and_tho public to make soma explanae tion of tho diflicwdtios in tho way of underdtand- ingits atlitudo. IIo snid Lnt, according to Bap- tist polity,nn Ecclosiasticat Council called in that mnnner had power to donl only with the of- ficial rtanding of tho person aecused, aud that the only power of condemuntion accorded thom was to “withdraw tho hand of followship. In ihts caso & large port of the chargos aud evidenco related to privato and por- nonal character, which wero itrolovant to tho soope of thoir suthority, and thoy thoroforo wished to got them out of the way, Mr, Mc- Carthy, on the contrary, misconceived tho issno, and skillfully arranged 1t to mnke his case ap- pear woll with the public. The constitution of the chureh rolative Lo trinl admitted of no other form than that of a kLind of court-martial, in which oll the mombers had an equal share in all questions, which often led to groat confusion, beeanso mattors of minor importauce, rolating to urdor; methods, kinds of evidoncs to bo nd- mitted, ote., woro thrown into tho Council for dobato.

None was made by the prosecutor, nor was any robutting evidonco offorod, 60 that when tho caso went to tho jury, they had honrd nothing from tho prosecution, eithior ag ples or ovidenae, for three wooks, And in regord to to tho ro~ fusal on the pmrt of the Council to allow tho accused to sce the speeifications, thoy related to pointa not worth qunrreling about, and werg arfectly familinr to Mr. McCarthy, ag ho weil netw, and wova, indeed, in his possessiou, e ey CRIMINANL.
