Party Fortunes.

The Y. Y. Sun, paper that until recently
gave its hearty support to Gen. Pieroe's Admin
istraton in an article ON the subject of party for
tunes makes the following pointed remarks:
As historians of passing events, we may not
overlook the rapid transformations going ON in
the politics of neghboring States. Twelve
months ago the old Wing party considered
SO badly cut up and dispersed, that it would new
er be able to take the field again with any chan
which Franklin Pierce was elected President in
spired those who believe that the Government of
u free country can never be well and mpartially
conducted upon a narrow exclusive party basis,
with the hope that the elect of people would wise

of his success, and so conduct his Government
that it would appear. and be, the bold and consis-
tent reflex of that broad and liberal spirit of uni
on and patriotism which animated the people
1t is not merely those who look with little con-
fidence upon party-the independent minded men
who constitute the great popular forces which
party cannot contribution President Pierce
has disappointed. He has broken up, discoura-
ged and Disguised the great party which turned
away from honored, veteran leaders, and placed
him at their head in the hope that they were

new enthusiasm in their ranks, and win last
ing fame for American democracy. 1t is a bitter
thought for them that one short year has blight

The Evening Post publishes very important
correspondence, emanating, it is said, from the
pens of two prominent foreign funetionaries in
relation to the much vexed question, whether
Brazil has RICH, to control the navigation of the
Amazon
The first and longer is translated from des-
patch of the diplomatic representative of one of
the first class European powers, residing at Pa
ris and was written by him TO one of his official
correspondents at the Barra de Rio Negro, about
two thousand miles farther up the river
The other is an extract from the reply of the
President of the Bolivian republic to an invita-
ton from the Emperor of Brazil, to enter into
treaty for the exclusive navigation OF the ANA
zon and its tributaries by their riparian propre-
tors.
What gives particular Importance to this cor
respondence is the bold and unqualified tone
with which the representatives, the one of a
leading European power, watchful and Jealous
of the commercial advances of the United States,
and the other of republic vitality interested in
the question at issue, deny and scott at the pre-
tensions of Brazil to obstfuct the navigation of
the Amizon by foreign bottoms. The first writer
compares it TO the prohibition by the occupants
of the first floor in dwelling, to the occupants
of the second and third floor and their visitors
passing in I'd out of the front door. and init
mates that if the Americans had half the energy
and pluck they have credit for, the controversy
would have been settled as summarily by them as
the difficulty between the. supposed tenants would
be settled by the police.
President Belzou, of Bolivia, declined to en-
tertan any proposals for the Brazilian plenipo-
Tertiary which recognized any right in Brazil to
limit the commerce of the Amazon at ALL He
said that Bolivias right to the commerce of ma
tions beyond the Atlantic, through the Amazon
was guaranteed both by the laws of nature and
nations, and that the pretentions of Brazil de-
serve to be considered 1.-THE most eccentric folly.

ORIGIN or TIE TERM, "OLD DoMINIoN."-
Few things are well calculated to awaken in
the mind OF the proud Nirginiau when wander
ing IN foreign lands, touching "reminiscences of
home and kindred, as the simple mention of the
"od Dominion And yet there are compare
lively lew who are aware of the origin of the
term which has 50 long and so generally been APP
Piled to Virginia. II originated thus:-During
the Proteotoraie of Cromwell, the colony of Nir-
ginia refused 10 acknowledge his authority, and
declared itself independent. Shortly after, when
Cromwell threatened 10 send fleet and army TO
reduce Virginia to subsection, the Nirginians
sent a messenger To Charles H., who was then an
exile in Flanders, inviting him To return in the
ship with the messenger, and be king of Virginia
Charles accepted the invitation, and was on the
eve of embarkation, when he was called To the
throne of England. As soon as he was fairly
secuted on his throne, in gratitude for the loyalty
OF Virginia, he caused her coat of arms To be
quartored with those of England, Ireland ana
Scotland, as an Independent member of the en-
pire,-a distinct portion of the '.oid dominion. E"
Hence arose the origin of tho term. Copper
coins of Virginia were issued even as late as the
reign of George Ill, which bore on one side the
coats of arms of England Scotland, Ireland and
Virginia.

The following account of The First and Last
Duel IN Illinois is from Ford's history of that
state, just published by S. c. Griggs & CO.,
Chicago: 1.-The year 1920 was signalized by
the first and last duel which was ever fought in
Illinois. This took place in Belleyile, st. Clair
county, between one Alphonso Stewart and
William Bennett, two obscure men. The Sc
conds had nude itup to be a sham duel TO throw
rldicule upon Bennett, the challenging party
Stewart was in the secret, but Bennett, his ad-
yersary, was left to believe tia reality They
were To fight with rifles the guns were loaded
with blank cartridges and Bennett, somewhat
suspeeting trick, rolled ball into his gun,
without the knowledge of the seconds, or of the
other party. The word to fire was given and
Stewart fell, mortally wounded. Bennett made
his escape but two years afterward he was ar
rested in Arkansas, brought back to the state, in
dicted tried and convicted Of murder great
effort was made to procure his pardon but Gov
ernor Bond would yield to no entreaties in his IA
yor, and Bennett suffered the penalty of the law
by hanging, in the presence of great multitude
of people. This the first and last duel ever
fought in the state by any of its citizens. The
hanging of Bennett made duelling discreditable
and unpopular, and laid the foundation for that
adherence of the practice which has ever since
been felt and expressed by the people of Illinois,
