The FIRST AND LAST DUEL IN ILLINOIS,
The year 1890 vas sigLalized by the first anc
last duel which was ever fought in Illinois
This took place in Belleville, St. Clair County
between Alphonso Stewart and William Ben
nett, two obscure men. The seconds had
made it up to be a sham duel, to throw ridi.
cule upon Bennett; the challenging party.--
Stewart was in the secret, but Bennett, his ad.
versary, was left to believe it was reality.-
They were to fight with rifles; the guns we're
loaded with blank cartridges, and Bennett.
somewhat suspecting trick rolled ball into
his gun, without the knowledge of his seconds
or of the other party. The word to FIRE was
given, and Stewart fell mortally wounded
Bennett made his escape, but two years after.
ward he was arrested in Arkansas, brought
back to the State, inolcted, tried and convicted
of murder.
A great effort was made to procure his par
don, but Goyeror Bond would yield to no en-.
treaties in his favor, and Bennett suffered the
penalty Of the law by hanging, in the presence
of great multitude of people. This was the
FIRST and last duel ever fought in Illinois By ar v
of its citizens. The hanging of Bennet
made duelling discreditable and unpopular,
and laid TIE foundation for that adherence of
the practice which has ever since been felt and
expressed by the people of Illinois. The pre-
sent Judge Lockwood was then the attorney
general Of the State, and prosecuted in this
case. To his talent and success as prosecu-
tor, the people are Indebted for this early pre-
ceGent and example, which did more than is
generally known to prevent the barbarous
practice of fduelling from being intro into
this State.

EE Here is a story humble as it may ap.
pear, should be read by all and practised by
more. There is sermon here and lesson
to be read worth rendering
who is not moved to pity Alas, many
areInot. How very common it is to see men,
boys and even those calling thems elves ladies
laughing at the drunkard. Yes, they Sc the
senseless creature; they know there are suffering
ones, mourning ones somewhere, but still they
laugh. Oh, when will we learn to pity the un-
fortunate and strive TO help them reform? An
gels mourn over fallen man. The Son of God
weeps over the drunken, the filthy and the a.
bused. But, sad to say, heirs of suffering Of
ten laugh and sneer. 1
The other day in the city of fD--, a wo-
man lay in the street drunk with little child
trying to get nourishment from her feversh
breast. Who could behold the sight and not
weep for poor humanity? Alas there were
many boys and some calling themselves men
stood around to make fun, And even females
passed on the other side and smiled.
After awhile there was one noble spirit en-
tered the crowd; little boy. AS he hastily
wiped the big tears from his cheeks earnestly
he exhorted the boys, saying, don't laugh at
her, don't make fun of Ler;-spose it was your
mother ?
Noble boy He shall have his reward
He has taught us all alesson.'

believe this. Facts on every hand confront it.
In the first place, we see not how any
honest opponent Of the principle and policy
engrafted by Mr.. Douglas on the Nebraska
bill can be content with the mere repeal of
the obnoxious clause or clauses of that meas.
ure. This would not restore the status quo
far from it. The fact that the South holds the
most sacred eompscts with the North as mere
temporary arrangements, to be observed only till
a sufficiency of Northern representatives can be
bought or bullied into voting with the Southern
delegations to repeal them-this would still re-
main. The reliance Of the North in Southern
faith is broken down, and cannot be restored

IowA-We received yesterday what purpOrt to be
official returns from Iowa, eleoting Hall Adm. to
Congress from the Southern District by small ma
jority over Clarke, Wing. We have no details, and
shall not believe these totals correct until we can
scrutDize them. The poll-books and returns are
nearly all in the wrong hands, and what Mr. II Tails
supporters are capable of is shown by their conduct
in 1913, when Daniel F. Miller, the Wing Member
chosen from that same District was swinded out Of
his seat by the stealing of a poll book, and kept out
for months, or until again returned by the People
at the election of ls49-the House having sent the
contestants back to the People. We have various
rumors of foul play in that District this year which
our knowledge of the past impes US to credit.

We trust nobody will suppose from this that
all the Wings in this City are candidates for the

there are many who are not aspirants. We pre-
idea of being nominated or are in any measure
responsible for the use of their names in connec-

For Lieutenant GOrerROr, we have heard only
these names suggested;
JosEPH BENEDICT lawyer Oneida Co.
SAMUEL J. WILKIS, Tex SENATOR Orange Co.
HENRY j. RAYMOND, (editor) New.York City.
There are probably others whose names have
escaped us. But this office does not seem to be
in much request.
For Canal Commissioner, we recolect only the
names Of HENRY FITZHUGH of Oswego, (the
out. going incumbent and DR.. DAN. ). WRIGHT,
lex. Senator) Of Washington Co., but have heard
that other names will be suggested.

able Justly to attribute their i'll success to the
lack Of raw material.
