MAINE Law ARGUMENT.

The Indiana Copingtoa Friend Of the
18th inst, has the following account Of the
most lamentable tragedy, which occurred in
that place the day before:
SIT becomes our painful duty to record mos,
unfortunate and melancholy affair occurring here
on yesterday about 9 o'clock, A. M. II appears
from all we have been able TO learn, that Captain
Duncan and Hon. E, A. Hannegan, who are bro
Tiers in law, and who have lived on the kindest
possible terms, Capt. Duncan boarding with
Mr.. Hannegan for the last two years. had been
the day and evening before, ndulging rather free
" in the use ofliqnor. On the morning of the
sad occurrence Capt. Duncan, went up stairs to
Mr.. Hannegan's room, and an alterc alton ensued
between the parties when Capt Duncan gave
Mr.. Hannegan slap in the face; Mr.. flanagan
upon the indisniiy he felt, and the impulse Of the
moment, struck Capt Duncan with knife in
the lower part OF the stomach, infiicting Sc
verc and what is thought dangerous wound.
Mr.. Hannegan, recovering from his passions,
aroused by the supposed indignity, suffers the
most excruciatiny tortures in the reflection that
he has, perhaps, struck down as kind friend as
he has on earth"
Capt. Duncan has since died from bis
wound. The parties were both Intoxicated
at the time Of the commission Of the muir
der. This is no isolated incident, il is q
common, almost daily occurrence. W.
refer to il because the murderer is a promi
nent man, one known 10 the most Of on
readers as a recent member Of Congress
from Indiana One such circumstance Al
this, carrying in its train such an amour
Of misery, is more convincing Of the neces
Isity of legal action to suppress the liquo
traffic, than any words We could use..
