If not to put a atop to them, allogelhar. Already some of the dally papers are calling upon Ihe authoriUel to put In force the law which wu paaaed by onr Slate Legtahrtars aoms few years ago; whleh Uw, by the way, la Tory severs In the penaltica which It Impoeee upon ihoao whovloUle Itapnvlalona. The Cmiaierefal JinHlur la particularly blUar, and wlndi gp lU romarka by uklog that some of Ibe principals or seeonda In the late milch ho brought up for Irlil, etc. The dlsgrseefol eonduct of certain partlu at Ibe Oeoghegaa snd Orem mill hu created a very unfavorable opinion of Iho American prlio ring, and It la not to be wondered at that tho authorities are called npoa to stop all anch exhlblUone In future. From all we can learn upon the auhjeet, we can come to no other oonolnilon than that a parly of nragha attended that flght for the expreu pur- poaeof defeating Orem. MowwodonotiaythatOeoght^anwu knowing lo thli, for he leema to have been Tery anxlotu, hereto- fore, to try hla pngUlsUo abilities In a contest with some good man, In order loehowhlafriendawhat he could do In a fair ring flght, but thla we do know, that every effort wu made lo Intim- idate the strangest and the most InaulUng and ahualvs epllheto wore appUad to hlnf, bolh before be entared the ring, and while he waa In It - Zagnaga of the loirsst and fllthlut deacripUon wu freely mada nse of by this gang of oulalden, and acta com-i milled that vonlddlsgraoeeTenihebtnte creation. Wearelnj formed that they aet tee to a bars the evening prevloua to tu flght, and committed varione depredations on the prpperlyref people realding In that pari of the conntry whore the cojil^ took place. During Ihe progreu of the flght It wu evl{ent to every unprejudiced pereon preaent that Orem wonld not be per- mitted to vrin, even If be wu able to do ao: and In the list round. It la lald, one of the "epoU aporia" levelled a pistol at the referee'a head, and compelled him lo dedde In fkTot of OefOghe- gan. This Is denied by the friends of Geoghegan, and alio by the referee, who aays that he wu not intimidated, and who now adherea to Ihededslon he gave In the ring. That a platolwu drawn, however, admits of no diaputa; and osogentlemanolled apon oa to uy that he eelied the hand that pointed the wefpon, and prevented ths party from using It Thla la a pretty slat* of affairs, truly, when men go srmed to eeo an exhibition of thO' manly art of aelf-dsfence." Wo uy It Is no wonder that the preu la beginning to call for an apidlcaHon of Ihe law agalnat prlie flghtlngi and If Ihe "dhiorganlaing raugha" conld he the only onu made to suffer, we should aayamen to Uw appeal of the CbnnatiaJ; for until Ihe ring la pnrged of suchlawleuohar- acters u thoee meet acUve In the depredations and other dla- grsceful proceedings at Cheeae Cieek, there can be no security for life or property where ench ssaemblages lake plae*.
