. of such men Rar re rrr Mpever be able to get up anything like it ” The North German Correspondent od at the notion of an Austrian offensive alliance with France at this late hour, and jadds:—‘‘Were Austria to pursue a policy to the national movement the faturo oxlstence of the monarchy would tbe greatly endangered.” The Oarlsruhe (Zeitung indignantly refutes tho ehargo that Frenchmen are ill-treated in Germany, and ‘oltes a mass of facts to prove the reverse, and, ‘by the way, in common with all the German papers, it amends the spelling ‘‘Weissem- ‘bourg” into ‘‘Weissenburg,” the original and only correct form of the name, and the only ‘one, also, that bas any meaning, it being com- Pounded of German words. The Koelnische Zeitung scores the military and personal bis- tory of Marshal Bazaine in the most ferocious Manner, It declares that he sold everything— guna, stores and even Maximilian’s plans and posltions—to the enemies of that unfortunate monarch in Mexico, and, therefore, it congrat- ulates Germany on having escaped the fangs he and General Tiirr, The Kreuz Zeitung, published at Berlin, cries out against the cruelty of expelling poor, laborious German artisans from their homes in France ‘and the persecution of Protestants and others An the French towns of the South, through prejudice, suspicion and impotent fury. It more than hints that this spirit may yet evoke a bitter resistance and a civil war in the French dominions. The leading German and Belgian papers together press the important fact that while immense and seemingly irresistible German forces hold all the Eastern departments of France the barracks and depots at home are full of reserves, splendidly equipped and drilled, and that Prussia alone can send three hundred thousand fresh troops to the field at any mo- ‘ment without touching her Landsturn or levy en masse at all. Every one of these papers anda host of others that we might mention abounds in lively descriptive episodes, and reveals a condition of things in Europe that portends a grand, overwhelming popular movement at an earlier day than the oracles ,of self-conceited absolutism dream. Our budget of the French, Russian and Scandinavian press is so complete and so pro- liffo that we reserve it for special mention by itself. It is more generally on the other side of the dispute and indicates quite plainly how European sentiment is divided at this moment. At all events the spirit is moving oa the face ofthe great deep of public opinion, and the mind of the Old World is agitated and aroused 98 it has never been before. Tae CanapiaN Expeprtion, which set forth on what the Canadian government vehemently proclaimed was a mission of peace to Red River, when the insurgents under Riel had accepted the terms of compromise pro- posed at Ottawa, has reached its destination, and has brought terror to the people who yeposed confidence in the terms of the com- ‘promise. Riel has ficd, and warrants are out for the arrest of a number of members of the provisional government. Aw Ex-REBEL in West Virginia has been re- fused registration under the State law dis- qualifying all ex-rebels from voting, and now he demands his rights under the Fifteenth Amendment bill. This highly creditable posi- tion for an ex-rebel, anda democrat to boot, ig not a tenable one, however, for Judge Bond has decided that that act of Congress was not intended to conflict with State laws except where they are founded upon distinctions of race, color or previous condition of ser- witude. The decision is well taken, but these oppressive State laws ought to be revised to suit the case of such lbeial opponents of ‘republican enactments as the gentleman who ‘was refused registration. As he served in the rebel army he might make a case by claiming that he is refused registration on account of a ‘previous condition of servitude. ‘ Tne Ku Kuivx 1s Norra Carorina.—The | civil law in North Carolina, rigidly interpreted, scems likely to do what martial law, oppres- sively enforced, has failed to do—that is, put ‘down the Ku Klux Klan, which is said to num- ber forty thousand members in that State. A decision has been rendered by the Justices of the Supreme Oourt, at Raleigh, holding indi- ‘vidual members of the organization responsi- ‘ble before the law for any illegal act dove by any other member or members in any part of the Staie; so that if a band of them in New Hanover county, on the Ailantic shore, should murder a negro, a member in Cherokee county, at the western end of the State, could be hanged for it, even if he had never heard of Pho affair until he was indicicd. This is pretty Severe reasoning, but it was accepted by the Ku Klux counsel, and it appears ‘already to havo had a salutary effect. I seems likely to ‘disband the whole organization, and no logic fan be too severe which does that.

Yesterday, on Carroll fsiand, thirteen miles from here dowa the river, the double prise fight between Charley Gallagher and Meeker and Punch Morris aud O'Donnell camo of without any incerference on the part of the autnort- tles and to the satisfaction of all concerned. There had been some apprehension that the police would endeavor to prevent the fight but tne sportung men here kept the place ofdeparture s0 closely to themselves that when the honr for embarka- tion arrived a single officer was not to be seen. The party, comprising all the leading sports of the city, with atew prominent city ofi- clals, arrived at the island tn convenient time, and the twenty-four foot ring was staked without any delay. The Gallagher-Meeker fight was the first on the list, and charley, true to his principle of frat come firat served, shied his castor into -the ring be- fore his opponent. Both men as they shook hands and faced each other grinned expressively. Gal- lagher was by far in the best condition and did credit to his trainer. The Oght terminated by Gallagher beating Meeker bad, in ten rounds, in ten aud a half minutes. The following is a summary of THE ROUNDS, Round 1,—Aiter some preliminary flbbiug on both sides, Gallagher led off with a stinger on Meeker’s smeltier, which resulted in the latter losing some of the wine of life, (First blood for Gallagher.) Meeker responded by sending in a straight one on Charley's Jaw, which stopped the grinning. Some rapid inter- changes then took place, which ended by Gallagher getting a fair shoulder-iut in on Meeker's Left optic, and sent him to grass, (Virst knock down for Gallagher.) Round 2—On the men coming to the call of time Mecker's eye presented a frightful appearance, the lid bemg cut and bleediug hard. He put up his mawiers and gave Gallagher a sock dollager square on the chin, which made a Chinese lantern of Chariey’s mouth, Meeker followed up his ad- vantage, forced the fighting across the ring, and concluded by ay beatlug down Gallagher's guard, and lettiug him have a terrifle left-hander on the side of the neck, which sent her flying into his corner amid the cheers of Meeker's friends, Roonp ?.—Gallagher got up and grinned fero- clou: after a few exchanges Meeker struck with his right and touched Charley's conk; Gallagher countered aud got in Uiree rippers on Meeker's cut eye, which caused Meeker to smile a pensive simile ag hus eye closed up; Mecker endeavored to rally and use his rightarim, Which was nearly dead from ward- ing Gallagher's heavy body blows, but without any avail; Gallagher rushed on his opponent, who slip- ped to avoid a body biow, and got Meeker's head Into chancery. Meeker put in two heavy blows tn Charley's ribs, and Charley patd back with interest on Meeker’r Jaw, which, when he slipped down, was cut all along the bone. Meeker suilered feartuily trom this round, and five to three was ofierea on Gallagher without any takers, Rownp 4.—Gallagher came up smiling, and Meeker, after being sponged down, limped to the scratch, There was some dusi ng done, and both being shy of aciinch. Gallagher jumped to get away trom a body blow and ine in a stiffaer on Meeker’s jaw. Meeker rushed wildly on Gallagher and fet four territic blows on the rignt cye. The men clincned, and Gal- lagher punished his man bad. After parting in the struggle, a8 Mecker turned again, he got a sounder hear thé belt, which echoed like a drum. There was & cry of foul tminediately, and Meeker's friends jumped into the rihg and crowded round the referee, some with kutves and biilys, ‘The referee stood firm and said he would deelare the fight in Gallagher's favor af they didn’t clear the ring, which they did. Gallogher, who had time to get his second wind, at once closed with Meeker and alter punishing bia badly about the head an nibs, threw him heavily.

The purse was halved between Morris and O'Donnell, Considerable trouble occurred after the decision of the referee, the friends of Morris, who was by lar the better man, contending that It was a put-up job by the referee.
