Of the many duties and responsibilities de- oly ing upon the legis)ative branch of the Goy- ernment, growing out of the late rebellion, | none is more urgent and imperative than that of making provision for payment of the public Gebt at the earliest possible date. Our present Interest, and future prosperity as 4 nation, alike Fequire that proper provision should be made tor the liquidation of our heavy wardent. We are glad, therefore, that the Senate yesterday passed “a bill for the payment of the publ: debt,” which, although not unobjectionable, yet has some excellent features, aud isa step inthe right direction. The first section pro- Vides that $15,000,400 be set apart annually for payment of interest and principal of the public debt. The second secuon provides for payment or funding of the seven-thirties, holders to advise the Secretary of the Treas ury,insuch manner as he may prescribe, at least four months before the maturity of such notes, whether they elect that such notes shall! be paid at maturity, or shall be converted into bonds of the United States, commonly desig. bated as five-twenty bond: The third section provides fora proper disposition of the coin received as duties on imports, and that when the amount of coin in the Treasury exceeds S50.000,000 the excess shall be sold, in open merket in the city of New York, for United States notes, under rules to be prescribed by the Secretary of the Treasury, and the notes Feceived therefor shall be esnecelled.

W. G. Brownlow f@ud the Tennessee Legislature in reference to the ratification of the Constutat: nrent have been of an extraordina throughout, and the climax seems to have been Teached yesterday. when 5% members of the } House of Representatives of that State—two Jess than @ quorum—pfetend to hive passed the measure. Gov. Brownlow, im a charac- tersstic deepateh to Mr. Forney, announced the vote as follows —“ Forty-three (13) yotes for it, eleven (11) agains: if: two (2) of Andrew Jobnsou's tools not voting.” Rather a cool @nnouncement, to say the least of it, if it is true as asserted in another dispatch from Nash- ‘Ville, that the “two tools” referred to, were | Pot im the House st all. but in “durance Wile" in another room. The Chronicle pays a Gubious compliment to Brownlow's veracity, dor in speaking of the effect of the reception of his dispateh in Congress it says'-—“ The in. | telligence ereated the utmost excitement in the two honees, but as the dispatch was the only One received up tothe hour of adjournment, | suuch anciety wes felt to hare it confirmed.” Measures were initiated in Congress yester. asy with a view of admitting Tennessee to Tepreseniation in that body om the score of this Bction, and the subject will probably be dis- oed of to-day. um _ _ Toe PRILADELPHIAC NVENTION.—Arrange- Tents forsending delegates tothe Philadel- phia Convention of August are in progress in Rhode Island, Connecticut, Pennsylvania, Vermont, Meryland, Virginia, South Carolina’ Georgia, Alabama, Louisiana, Tennessee, Mis- sissippi, Missouri, Illmois, Imdiana, Ohio, Wisconsin and Iowa: and the other States will Bo doubt be represented.

When the crowd ascended the bill the colored people, who appeared to be get- | Ung breakfast, were strack with astonishment aud were at a loss to know what going on. Preparation= were at once made for the fight, and at 5 o'clock the stakes were set and the rng formed. At 5.20 Bolster entered the ring, “shying wis castor,” and took his seat in the | Southeast! corner, and shortly atter English | entered, also “shying his castor,” and taking @ seat at the northwest corner. Bolster was ac- companied by his seconds, Teddy Ryan and English Harry, and English by Doc Riley, of New York, and Hugh Shloan. of this city. The choice of corners fell to the lot of Bolster, who took the northwest corner. Messrs. Dan Con- nelly tor English, and George Ward for Bol- ster. were chosen umpires. At540 they commenced to strip, and at 543 the fight actually commenced, both coming up promptly. In the first round, which occupied % min- utes, there was considerable parrying off of blows, but finally Bolster let in his “bunoh of fives’ on Erghisn’s shoulder, and the latter tell vd round —Both came ap promptly. and af- ter some sparring, English got his head in Bs | “bread-basket,” when they clinched and fell, amid cries of foul.” Time. minute. 3d round.—Lively sparring, and B. tell in his own corner. ‘ime, } minute. ith round. —Fair sparring, each receiving taps on the bead and shoulders, closing by the parties clinching each ether and falling. “Bol- ster underneath.

This was at 6.05, the fight of 24 round lasting but 22minutes. The throwing up of thesponge ‘was not looked for at the ume and there was quite a murmur of disappomtment that the contest was of so short duration The backers of English lustily cheered him. Bolster did not seem the first to be very confident, but there was nothing up to the 34th round to indicate that he was caving in. There was considerable dissatiefaction expressed at the result by some of Bolster’s friends, and some quarrelling took place in the ring. When the fight commenced there was every prospect of a shower, and just about the close of the fight it commenced to rain quite heavily. Bat few having provided themselves with um- brellas most of the party were well soaked. The party immediately returned to the steam- ¢r, which was by this time fast aground, and it was not until after 10 o'clock this morning that she was able to get under weigh. The combatants came off to the steamer in different boats, and Bolster for a time remained with a few of his triends in one of the saloons, white hie opponent remained out on the deck, and received the congratulations of his frieuds. ister’s hands appeared to have been in- jured badly, and in a short time they were swelled consiaerably.
