The Impeachment at Length Ended— The Charges Against Mayor Debevoise Rejected by the Court—A Humiliating Defeat of the Self-Styled “Reformers.” Shortly after six o’clock last evening Long Island City was aglow with rejoicing, the exuber- ‘ance taking the form of burning tar-barrels in the sections surrounding the residence of Mayor Debevoise. The news had just arrived from Hempstead, where the Court of Oyer and Ter- miner had been in session during the past four days of the week, that the impeachment “ring” of the Board of Aldermen had carried their charges against the Mayor into Court, and that the Judges thereof were so dis- gusted with the frivolity of the “impeachment” articles that they refused to entertain or receive them. In pursuance of a previous desperate resolution, as announced inthe HERALD of Tuesday, two of the impeachers Went to Hempstead on that day to inquire whether they could not go into Court with charges adopted by less than two-thirds of @ meeting of the Aldermanic Board, Find- ing they could not, they returned post haste and tried to convene another meeting on Tuesday evening. This also was im- beeps but they succeeded in having one yester- lay morning. Ten members were present, in- cluding Hunter, who wanted so badiy to be the Successor of Mayor Debevoise, and who presided and voted with the others for the impeaciment, Beni | accomplished so eapasn tye Poarg assed resolution to employ insel, in forgetfulnéss o! the existence of such officials as the Corporation Counsel and the District Attorney, entirely worthy of the IMITATORS OF COMPTROLLER GREEN. ¢ Board next resolved to proceed forthwith to Hempstead with their private counsel. Aiderman Rafter, who entered at this stage, asked if the President of the Board thought himeelf justified in acting a8 Mayor and as a member of the Board of Aldermen aiso, and he answered by a resolu- tion from Mr. Quinn (who was removed from the Assessorship by the Mayor and wants to get back again) to the effect that the Board should sustain President Hunter in any action he thought proper to take in this matter, whether right or wrong. This extraordinary resolution was carried, Mr. Raiter alone declining to put himself in the position taken by hia ten brethren. Mr. Hunter was then requested, by resolution, to ask for the resignation of the present Corporation Counsei and Commisstoner of Public Works, and to nominate two Aldermanic impeachers for thase ositions. Then the Board adjourned, and the Impeachment “ring” started, witn their counsel wand a number of other hopeiul-looking soreheads, for Hempstead. Judges Tappan, Snediker and ane presided m the Court of Oyer and Ter- miner. THE REPULSE AND ROUT. ‘The impeachers were led by the otty Clerk. Soon after their arrival, their counsel ed (he Court to receive the Board of Aldermen's charges against the Mayor. one Tappan gianced at the doca- ments, Judge William A. Beach, of New York, ap- Fld on behalf of Mayor Debevoise, and, after earin, him, handed back the papers, with an intl mation to the impeachers and their coun- sel that they could not be considered, The Court would not even allow the charges to be filed with the County Clerk, and directed that An order to that effect should be entered on the record. This ends the impeachment farce, as far as the removal of Mayor Debevoise is concerned, Mr. Daniel R. Lyddy, the Aldermen’s counsel, has announced his intention to reure from his canvass ag Surrogate, for which position he was nominated by the Democratic County Convention.

Fight Between Billy Madden and James Taylor at Tolleston, Ind. Fifty-five Bounds Fought in an Hour and Ten Minutes—A Hundred Policemen Capture Both Principals and Every Spectator Present. CHICAGO, Ovt. 19, 1873. For some days past there has been considerable excitement in sporting circles tn this city, apropos of the arrangement of a mill between two local pugs, Billy Madden id Jim Taylor, familiarly known as ‘‘Larry.” The fight came off yesterday and ended ins most sensational manner, every person present being captured by the Chicago police force, which, with great zeal or little re- spect for boundary lines, followed the excursion- iste into Indiana. Billy Madden is a dock laborer in Chicago and has been engaged in several scrapes, in which he has given a good account of himself. In July last negotiations were pending for a fight between him and Mike O’Connor, better known as “Red Handed Mike,” but O'Connor backed out, though Madden offered to Aight at 124 pounds and give him six pounds the best of the weights. The present match, which was for $500, rose out of a diMcalty between Madden and Taylor about a Woman. Tim Oasey backed Madden and Pat Gilmore (not the Jubilee man) put up for his opponent, Madaen ‘was trained by Big George Brown, a negro, and Taylor’s mentor was Ed. Downey, Whose mill with Jack Fitzgerald in 1869 won him some local repute. ‘Taylor has bad a hard reputation as the leader of ®& “gang” in Bridgeport. He is a novice inthe ring, though he has been concerned in several rough and tumble scrapes, Taylor is about twenty- six years old, weighs 151 pounds, and stands five feet ten and a half inches, being much bigger than Madden, who is ouly twenty-three, stands five feet eight inches and scales 125 pounds, THE EXCURSION. Yesterday morning about sixty excursionists took the Pittsburg, Fort Wayne and Chicago cars for Robertsdale, Madden being among the number, Allbehaved very quietly. Arrived at Robertsdale couple of hours were spent in looking for Taylor, who had left Chicago on Friday night. Edward Downey, to whom the business of arranging the ring had been left, made a mistake in choosing the ground and it was nearly eight o'clock before he hove in sight. After a two mile walk along the track the ground was selected and’ the ring goon formed, about two hundred yards from the ratlroad track, and the men at once commenced their toilet. Jimmy Smith and George Tiler, of New York, acted as Madden’s seconds, and Brown, the darky, and James Quinn, of Chic: did the needful for Taylor. Jack Don- nelly officiated as referee and timekeeper. Taylor won the toss and selected the eastern corner, With. the sun and wind at his back. The morning was cloudy and a fresh breeze was blowing, when, at fifty-seven minutes past eight o'clock, the men stood up for THE FIGHT.

The former showed the most artistic in his position and was the favorite in the betting. Atter some sparring Madden led off for Taylor’s nut, but was neatly stopped, and, after slight exchanges on the chin, both closed and fell.
