Our notice of an anticipated duel between two
German editors, the other day reg arded by some
as hoax but 1t now appears that the challenge was
really made, aud but for the interference Of the po
lice the parties would have met this morning. The
whole difficulty, as near as we can learn, with the
particulars Of the challenge is as follows
A society of German liberals or socialists has ex-
listed for several years over the canal and is known
by the name ct the Association Of Freemen. 1t is

always been looked upon as the champion OF the
society He is its president and has control of
its affairs. Some months since division occurred
in the association. about what we cannot learn only
knowing that Hassaureck leads one party, and that
Mr.. J. F. Wisnewski has great influence with the
German paper called the Mosquito, and it appears

OF duel would settle the difficulty. He consequently
challenged Mr.. Wisnewski to a duel, placing the
challenge in the hands Of Mr.. Stossmester, one of
his party in the Freemen Society and who consented
to act as his second.
The challenge was accepted by Mr.. W.. who named
his second, and e;ed the weapons 1t is said that
Mr.. Wisnewsk is sure shot, while Mr.. Hassaureck
could hardly bit an elephant at twenty PAGES. Not
wishing, however, to take advantage of the inexpe-

All Vic necessary arrangements, IL Is 6diu, were
made for the meeting this morning. The seconds
had selected the spot, sharpened the swords and
agreed upon the preliminaries. The sun would no
doubt have risen upon bloody scene this morning,
had not a mutual friend appeared before Judge
Spooner yesterday and had warrrnt issued against
both parties. Mr.. Hassaureck was arrested in the
