The two parues are about holding Conventions to make nominations. —The Albany Journal estimates that Repub- Hean gains in the State ot New York, equal to those in Vermont, will give that State to the Republicans oy about torty-sx thousand ma- jority. ‘The Democratic State Central Commit- tee of New York claim, however, boast that their ‘vote im the Siate’ this year’ will reach 400,000.

We Tl THE Brxckrey - Covretrey Mitt — Wao HOLLERED ?—Everybody remembers the story of the great Kentucky fight between Colonel Dick Jones and Bill Patterson. and the Colo- nel’s version of the way he used up his antag- onist. “We had it round and round, about and about, over and under,” said the Volonel. “But who hollered! « Which whipped?” “How did you burt your hand?” “ What's the matter of your eye?’’ in- quired bis anxious townsmen. “Oh.” says the Colonel, “I forgot to tell you. We fought Tound, and round, and about, and about, ail over the court-yard, and at last, just to end the fight, everybody was getting tired of it; so at l-a-a-st, I bollered.”” Now, the question is, who hollered in the Binckley-Vourtney fisti- coff match? New York says Binckley hol- lered. This is unpleasant for Washington to believe. Washington stands by Binck- Ivy. He is our man. We care noth- ing for Courtney. He may be a splendid hitter, and good on the gouge and throw. New York may be proud of him, and doubtless is. The Sun says “All our sympa- thies are with Courtney. Of course they are, that is natural. But Washington backs her Binckley, Washington is glad, therefore, to bear that there is another side to the story: The Binckley version is that he «caught Courtney's fist” (not after the John Phenix fashion, we trust) and broke Court- ney’s finger, and smashed Courtney's nose, and managed by inserting his flowing beard into Courtney's hand to disable the District At- torney by pulling the latter down upon him upon the sofa, in which triamphaut position he (Binckiey) shouted the battle cry of free- dom and victory with such effsct that the As- sistant Marshal rushed in and pulled Vourt- ney off from his conqueror, aud carried him out. This, says the friendly correspondent ot the Baltimore Gazette, with charming naireie “is Mr. Binckley’s report of a tignt which has been so greatly exaggerated in ail the New Yor« papers.” Washington, we need not add swears by the Binckley version, INDIAN APPAIRS.—A report received at the Indian office to-day from Superintendent C. H. Norris of the Nomaha, Nebraska, agency states that there has been much sickness among the Jowa tribe. The Indians had put up consil- erable hay, but their crop of corn was not half guough to suoply thelr wants, owing to the drought. A white man, named Wm. Gentry, shot and killed a member of the Sac and Fox tribe or the 22d of July, during a drunken quarrel. Gentry had not been arrested. Another report from Superintendent T. H. Head, dated Great Salt Lake City, announces that a band of 3) warriors who have been mak- ing yaids upon the settlements in San Rie coun- ty. bad promised to abstain from further dep- Tedations, and desired to have peace.

He added that the dead man’s name was George Semper, & brakesman in the employ of the railroad company, who had been run over and badly hurt at Woodstock, and was also placed in the car for removal to this t. Joyce says that Semper was in great agony during the trip and was @ ntly dying, but the heat was so in- tense, the car being closed, that he fainted, and he supposes Semper died about the time of ar- rival here, as he was alive shortly before. No one was particularly in charge of the men, so faras could be ascertained, and the agent at Mount Clare knew nothing of them being in the car until their presence was accidently dis- covered. The bedy of Semper was left at the depot. The wh affair, judging from the statement of Joyce, exhibits cruel neglect on Tailroad offi; the part of somebody, and the will doubtless promptly investigate it.

A scandalous affair bas afforded feoa for gossip to the people of St. Petersburgh forsome ume past. Many months ago (says a corres- pondent) there Was a vague report that th position of the Russian Vice Chancellor, Prin Gortschakofl, had been somewhat shaken by an intended matrimonigl project which the Emperor did not at all approve. The Prince bad offered a home to a young relative, a Madame Akimfjew, the wie of a Lieutenant who had been expelled trom his regiment for his dissipated habits and disreputabie conduct. It was generally believed that as soon as the divorce suit could be brought to a satisfactory termination, and the dispensation necessary for marrying a relation could be obtained trom the Greek church, Madame Akimfjew would exchange her not very harmonious name for that of Princess Gortechakoff But though the suithad been pending for several years, no judgment had been pronounced, and the delay ‘was attributed to the wishes, perhaps the com- mands, of a very exalted personage. ‘This suspicion was in all probability well founded, but recent events have proved that in other respects the public was aitogether on a wrong scent. A Prince and a Minister is all very well, but Madame Akimijew flew at higher game, for the happy man of her choice was no other than the Duke of Leuchtenberg, nephew of the Czar of all the Russias. The Emperor, no. unnaturally, was extremely op- pored to his relative’s intended marriage, and threatened his severest displeasure. It was, ho sever, all tono purpose, Madame Akimt- yew lett St. Petersburg under the pretence of visiting a German watering-place for the benefit of her health, and about the same time Prince Leuchtenderg went secretly on board an English ship at Riga. The place chosen for the rendezvous 1s not stated, but at all events a marriage ceremony was solemnized between the fugitives by a Russian priest. It is hardly necessary to Observe that the mar. Tisge is invalid, asthe lady had a husband living at the time, from whom she hac not long been divorced. Considering the cool pub- licity of the bigamy, the high rank of one of the parties, and the defiance of the Russian anto- crat, the case is certainly @ peculiar one, and may still, perbaps, effect Prince Gortschkotf's ition, as it was only through his infiaence That the lady suc in obtaining her pass. port.
