A KEMlyIsCEScE.

The Journals Of the old Congress OF the
United States furnish an instance OF the
manner IN which Duelltng cases used to be
settled.
|, appears iha, one Mr.. Cunning Bed.
ford, felt himself aggrleved at something
said in debate by Mr.. Sergeant, the father,
We believe, Of the present Mr.. J.hn Ser.
geant, OF Philadelphia. On the 9th June,
l777 Mr.. Sergeant laid before Congress
a challenge which he had received from
Mr.. Bedford. On tae 18th, a resolution
was passed directing Mr.. Bedford to be
summoned before Congress "to answer for
his conduct"
On the 18th Mr.. Bedford appeared and
was permitted to speak In his own lusnfica
ton. The House then Immediately passed
resolution that Mr.. B. rs expected to
ak pardon Of the house and oflhe member
Mr.. b. was again called IN, and the resoIu
ton being read to him, " be asked pardon
of the house and Of the member" and there
upon, was dismissed, and the matter ended.
THIS was 10 the good old days OF the good
old fathers OF the republic. Such case
now would require month TO settle, and
produce, perhaps, three or four dueIs.-
