Sullivan is badly punished and is bleeding like a beef. The ovasion that. Corbeit received was something tremendous, James E. Corbett Wais declared the m ine;r in the twernty-lirst round. antd was declared the chanipion of the world. In all respects to-night's fight was the greatest of the three. In point or purse, in point of men and in point of' crowd, and in point of excitement, it excelled the battles already gone into history. It was no wondr, therefore, that those who could not go, or would not go, forsook their beds and crowd ed around the bulletin boards, eager for news from the struggle of the gia diators. When they made the match t.hey me-ant i6 to be a decisive onLe in its result. There was plenty of money to back each niti - Th'e Situllivan people dictated the terms, and the other side had to meet I he lea(l. Ten thousanld dollars a sido was up- . as the wager. The Corbett people aged to it without dem-ur. ' j:at hteant $20,000 as a starter. Then there t-1me the question of a purse. The OlyL)Ic is a Sullivan club, and wanted the match at all haz.irds. It offered 25.U0 for the mill, and that princely sum was accepted. It was agreed that the winner should have the whole of it. The looser would fid no solace for his work. Tihe conditions were brief. They were to light to a minish undir the Qtueeisbury rules. That matns that the men nmist stand up t-quarely and box, stripped to the waist,each round to last three minutes, and ono tmiinute rest. Nothing was said about weights; each man was privileged to carry tas much flesh as he pleased. Along with t he pi-se to the n inner of the fight, goes thet championship title ard to eac-h gladiator t hat meant more thcan the coin that had been wagered oti the result. 'The Sullivan pteople wvent to the club first. They took a carriage at the hotel before 7 anLd drove leistureley downi with a string of hacks. 'The carriage was closed anid few on the~ streets knew it containtd the mian ft omt Boston. Whtlen it recached the club there was an immetse bundle of people fightitng their way into the club.

Cii A ii.l.S'roN, .epjt. :3.--IThe siiiion,. ast ani present, in the 7 th Congres iontal district presents some of those uitny phascs of politics which bitter actional fighting always bring about. Ile famouis "Black Shoestring district,"] >f South Carolina has noeen ever since t, was formed almost a national issue. 'he Republican party (luring several Jolitical campaigns, and rabid Repub ican Congressmen on the floor of the [louse of Representatives, have been kccustomeid to employ as a never-fa-l ig source of political capital the al eged outrages coiuntted there. The voting strength of the district is robably thirty-four or thirty-live ,housand all told, divided in a ratio of kbout eight or nine to one inl favor of ;he negroes, and the district has up to I very recent period been dominated )y the notorious Gen. "Bob" Smalls md the little less notorious Ex-Con gressnian Toin Miller. During a still wave recent period the political in .erests of these two worthies began to %lash so fiercely that a bitter factional knimosity was engendered and a third wing of the party in the persons of ieveral ollicials of the Charleston Cus ,om House obtained considerable )ower. All three of these factions were represented in the recent Conven ion which nominated T. Wy. Murray as candidate for Col. Elliott's seat. If all of the wire-pulling which was lone prior to that convention was made anblic, it would make a very readable :hapter in the political history of a lietrict which is by no means wanting n curious political lore. For several nontlis Uten. Snialls and Tom Miller iave both been candidates. The fact s that there never was a race in the listrict without both of those leaders >eing in it.. Their candidacy is of that )erennial character which flourishes ilways and blooms every other year. io every body knew that the old Smalls Ailler feud wjuld come up again. A hird candidate who could be counted ;n to be in the race one way or another vas E, M. Brayton, a prominent, Alli nce tan of Coiumbia, but ho was .hought to be hitched out more in the .apacity of a tark horse in case the imalls machine failed to "specify." The Custom House, the new power m the dis.rict, had two representatives i the comtet in the persons of J. 11. Dstendorif and G. W. Murray. This was the slate as it was given out to Lie public, and thesu were ostensibly the candidates between whom tie chances of a nomination lay. But people, not in the party, but with neans of kaowing the inside working >f several caucuses prior to the assem ling of the Convention knew that, 'eally the strongest man in the race vas a gentleman whose name had iever publicly been mentioned in con iection wi th t he nomination. The Itstom HIousp streng)tl was for hini olid, and it had been arranged long go that under certain circumstances liller was to drop out of the race in is favor. However, the best laid dlans o1 politicians went away just at he critical moment and Murray won in the lourth hallot. There is, of coirse, no use now spec llating upon the forces which cor iued to smash tihe Custom Ilouse late, but some of the Berkeley delega ion who lounged around thre building 'esterday were openly denounciing omn Ailler as the traitor in the camp. A feature of the lat-e Convention vhich has been a source of rmuch corn rat ulation was tire fact that It settled ecyondh a doubt that. "(Gen. liob" Smralls as once anid for all been climiriated rorm t,he Coingressionral pnossibilities of he 7th district. When hre got into tihe ~onvention lie found himself ant the ~ ead of six delegates, arid even on the ~ 1st ballot, when thu Smnails and Bray on forces combined, nine votes was alli lie, strength .developed. When thI ritical moment arrived Mller failed o "opecify" in the fullment of Ihis ontract regardinrg the secret slate, aind here was a regular stampede to Miar- ~ ay, resulting in Ihis nominatIon . All of thins is inore or less interest,ing, >un, there is anrothrer phase of the sit,ra ion yet, to be told, which will interest ~ ouch more kvcrrly tire Demrocrancy of he 7th. It is reported that Candidate 4urray is ini tire possession of thre onm nat,ion, but is totally without funds to ~ onduct, his canvass. Th'le leadlers of ire opposing factions, who are tire men vho are accustomred to furnish the ~ inrews of war for contests in tire die- , rict, are skulking in their Lent, and ~ esolutely (decline to fniish tire "need uii', upoui this occasionr. 'lTie expenses >f Alurray's canvass will aggregate a ondriderable sum, and, uinless by sonme acans (r other tire ironey for them is orthcnzinig, his chances of election re riot worth shucks.

The case was referred to State Chair nan Irby, who said t,hat while it, might, )e beyond his jurisdiction, tlie pledges vere tendered himni in tiine, and that tichi a ruling was not the intention of he constitutilon, it being merely de ired to secure the pledges, and the luestiorn of time was not ink any way ritul. A[r. Walter Ilazard, tie Conservati ve andidate for State Seiiator, was iii the ity yesterday, and he brought the de ails of interesting new developments, vhich makes an ugly case for Doar. Mr. 11az ird called on Gov. Tillmaun 1urinig the morning, and talked the natter over with him. Later, Gov. l'illiman, in talking of the case, con lemned Doar'zi action, agreed with Nlia', Irby had said as to the question if time, and said tihat the voice of the >eople in a South Carolina primary ,lection should never be drowned by it echnicality.

THIRD PAITY POLITICS IN GEORGIA Reviving th,o (li4 10lan of Night Meetin ati Wild 'rmsil4et for Negroi.t. FoAs YTir, G., Sept. 3.-- -Never, per thaps, in the political history of' Georgi. did such a state of affairs exist as at preseint i Monroi county. This county Is and lway3 has been solidly Demi cratic, and no county in the State can b,oast of mnor., gallant, true and trit(j Il1emocrats than she, and as the days go by the coustituents of the grand ol(I party becom muore enthusiastic and deterinii:i tai ever, anti daily num bers who tre led to beli(-ve that the p-irty of their forelather.- was rotten and corrupt have once more sworn al legiance to the grandest aid purest party the world has ever known. The peopie's party grows weaker and weak er and only tae leaders will be let'L to see it vanisa into oblivion ---seeing as they do the party of Watson and Wea ver fadir fast away, a few and un principled and debased leaders in% this county aie eiiploying the sami misera ble methds to get the negro vote as their "own" Watson in the tenth. Almost night ly negro school houses and sonetin:tes barns are the scenes that would make any true soutnern man reg1rd them with contemupt and shiamle. A few ignorant corntield negroes assembled in a rustic school house dimly lighted wit it a pi at) knot, an Allianct lawyer who represents several NortLern loan associations, and an Alliance prea.her, who has forsaken Christ and is devoting his tine to ad Vaucilig the ominipoteice of Tom Wat son and third partyism, was the scene that was en-ct.ed a few miles from here on Saturday night. 'ie negroes were sworn to secrecy, so that nio white men save the speakers would kn sw anything about these meetings and it was purely accidental that the leaders were detected in their diabolical actions. A trusted farm hand working on the plantation of a prominent farmer told him of the won derful things that he had heard the night, before at the school house. How negroes became frantic with joy as they were assured that if they would vote with the third party that Tom Watson was going to usher in an era of prosperity that they had never bC fore known. They wout he paid $150 and $1.75 per day, thus enabling them to live imore comfortably and that they could then joim hands with the whites and be as one. Sitch scenes were never be Fiore witnessed, as the negroes in genii ie barbaric style clapped their lands amd danced to the imusic of sacred songs aid 4fort-d prayers to the speak ers who h ii so urnnercifully deluded them in their ignorance.
