dsrnssing 1t. Hurst for fighting duel, tho writer
says:
'If he acted conscisatiousiy in dismssins Lieulen
ant Hurst believing that the Government Offices ught
TO feed and c,ohe those persons who had partici
paled dueis or deliberately taken the lives of ieir
fellow beings, why did he appoint Gideon d. Matlocli
of Tennessee, 10 an Iudan Sub-Agencyi Was it
because Aalock had certified for him against Govern
or Jopes, add then simply killed man in Nashville
who denounced him for having acted the part Of
lier Why did he appoint George w. Jones, Sur
veyor General Of Iowa. Was it because Jones
the second Of Cieyn the du ell which lost the latter
gentleman his life, and which duel twas quite posi-
bic Mr. Jones might have prevented Why did he
appoint Alcee Labranch, Naval Officer of New Or
leans? Was it because Mr. Labranch only killed
Hhig eior in duel, some three years ago. And
why has he appointed Dennis Preur, Collector
of New Orleans? Is ii because Prieur fought duel
with and killed the late Senator Waggaman some two
years since"
Gone murder makes a william, millions hero."--
Poor Hurst was a poor with an humble office,
and hence his dismissal. AIatlock, Jones, Labranch
und Prieu are men of mark and influence, and hence
their appointments. This is the practical democracy
of The dHy.
