THE POTTER AND PRYOR DUEL.

Ii seems that the challenge sent by Mr..
Pryor TO Mr.. Potter, was accepted by the
latter, who. deeming the whole system of
duel.iuE barblrous and inhuman, selected
that blrbarou= and altogetherhuman weapon.
She bowie knife. for the encounter. The duel
did not come IF, however, and the affair IS
to end, as several Others Of the kind have
done, in q shedding Of ink instead Of blood.
Mr. Potter's physical courage is undoubted;
but we should be better pleased with him, if
he had added to it the moral courage to re-
fuse to recognize in any ray or to any extent,
a code which be believes to be barbarous.
inhuman and unchristian. The following is
the latest account Of the transaction
Mr.. Prv p sent Mr.. Potter 4 challenge, to
which Mr. Potter replied, referring HIM to
Col Lander, To make the necessary arrange
ments The terms as proposed by Col. Ian
dor To Mr. I p. Chisman, were that Mr.
Pott r. though disclaiminc all allegiance to
the code, would fight Mr. Pryor in any place,
in doors or our. in the district, with bowie

that the weapons were barbarOus and inhu-
man, and not usual among gentlemen. To
this Col. Llndor replied that Mr.. Potter de-
tested the whole system of duelling as bar
barous and inhuman, but being called to ac-
count for the exercise Of free speech on the
door Of the House. he consented -
not beng accustomed to the usual
weapons OF the duelist, he consented to meet
him IN q way that would place them on
equal terms, and to name the time, place
and weapons but as the weapons named by
Mr.. Potter were objected TO, Col. Lander,
without Mr.. Potter's knowledge, rendered
himself to Mr.. Pryor without restrictions,
which was also declined on the ground that
he had no quarrel with Col. Lander The
correspondence between the friends of Mr.
Potter and Mr.. Pryor did not close till this
morning. 1t cannot be published until Mr..
Cnisman. who was Mr.. Pryor's principal
friend, can be seen, and his consent obtain

M. HARp's ARGUMENT.

You have listened patiently, Gentlemen Of
the Jury, to the extended testimony and dis
cussions of this case, and to remarks OF much
greater eloquence than could or would Of
fer; formy position, if I had the tongue OF
Burke or aCl lte, does not permit display OF
eloquence on my part. Ny duty is to place
before you simply and plainly, on the parto f
the State, some Of the views which are nee
essary to proper consideration Of the case,
and shall do SO as briefly as possible. he
counsel for the respondent have argued his
case ably and earnestly-as it was their duty
to do but they have also transcribed the
limits appropriate to counsel in case like
this. They have talked as the Prosecution
was asking you to guess away this man lif.,
or to convict without evidence convincing
beyond doubt. They have appealed to
your prejudices against capital punishment.
the counsel for the other side here denied
any such appeal on their plrtl but gentle
men, you have taken your seats on the pre-
sumption that you are unbiased and impair

THE TRIAL ENDED.

The long trial which has occupied 50 much
of the attention of the community for more
than a week, has closed. 1t has lasted
over eight days, longer time than was ever
taken by any previous trial at this bar,
within the memory of our oldest lawyers, and
equalled in length by but one or two civil
ases.
The evidence brought out on the former
trial has substantially been repeated at this,
with the addition of the evidence Of the two
young men who were indicted with Melon
nell before, and whose acquittal allowed
them to become witnesses on a new trial. Their
testimony has been favorable to the prisoner
on some important points, as for
instance, as to the striking of the
first blow by McKecn, upon which there was
little or no testimony before. We may be
allowed to say also, without the slightest
imputation of partiality to any Judge, that
the opinion Of the Supreme Court, returning
the case for a new trial, and the charge OF
the Court to-day, were much more favorable
to the accused than the former charge.
The ease has been argued with uncom-
mon earnestness and ability, both for
the State and the defense, and it
has ended in u verdict Of Manslaughter,
This result is fully in accordance with our
own convictions. In opposition to the quite
general sentiment of the community, which
appeared to assume from the start that the
crime was deliberate murder, we have never
been able to satisfy ourselves that it was
more than q case of manslaughter. This an
intelligent jury, aided By the instructions of
Chief Justice Redfeld and Judge Kellogg
have pronounced it, and we trust that their
decision will commend itself to the sober
judgm-ut Of the public.
This is not, as some have seemeI TO assume
that anything bat a sentence to death would
be, the setting at large a desperldo-to add
new acts Of violence to his other crimes. The
lowest penalty for the crime of manslaughter,
by the law Of this State. is imprisonment in
the States prison for ssUsn years-and it may
be f.r life in the discretion Of the Judge.
Taer7shabiii.ies. when McDonnell's ten
der ,ies to the lisels. which have removed
several Of his family are considered, are per-
haps against the likelihood Of his dis
charge from the States Prison except by
death. IF he survives the term Of
his sentence we trust j, will be as
one who has been taught by this bitter
lesson not only the wickedness Of a reckless
resort to the knife: but the wrong and folly
of the course of dissipation, late hours and
dabaucheTy, Of which terrible crimes and
heavy pnnishments are The natural result.

the latter played bagatelle and drank beer
and you may not be wrong in conc uaing
that to that pint Of whiskey, obtained from
the town agency, and those glasses of lager
beer, are tracelble the consequences which
followed. noise is heard at the door, a
slight rafting, and few words are said, not
loud enough for any of those inside to under
stand. 1t was piece Of boyish nonsense
certainly nothing 50 terrible that four grown
men need start to suppress it. But they drop
their cards and glasses and start for hedoor'
McKeen leading the way. He was quick
vigorous, active man, probably Scotchman,
as we may infer from his name, and he was
infamed by that pint of mountain dew, ana
the poet of Scotland has told us how that
works in the fiery Scottish blood
Take but the Scotsman from his hill,
Pat in his cheek the Highland gill,
Say such is Royal Geordies will,
And there's the foe
His only thought is how to kill
iva at q blow.
McKeen goes to the door, and calls back
the boys, now on their way home, and they
return insulting words pass Mex advances
on McD., strikes him blow on the side OF the
face; they clinch and n grapple follows;
To this c!inch Wight Bliss and Logan all
testify. though reluctantly and on cross
examination. Before the coroner's jury
they testified to the clnch directly. and 10
the circumstance that when Balm stepped
no as be says. to separate them, Logan told
him to "Sidnd back and see TAR play" Mr..
Roberts here spoke of it as most prJ7ldentiai
for the respondent that the coronor's inquest
was held and the testimony before 1t taken
down in black and white, and be complained
that the three witnesses for the State, after
their friend is gone and they cannot restore
him. should allow themselves to modify,
against the respondent, their testimony
before the coroner.
The parties, then, were clinched and re-
manned so from half O minute to two
minutes. What were they doing Some
thing doubtless, besides whisper love in each
other ears. They were in a struggle for the
mastery, and if you call it but halt minute,
there was time enough for Mcdonnell to
draw and use his knife ten times. This con-
hict was, we say, of McKeen's seeking, and
the wound which terminated it, was inflicted,
we contend, at the latest moment, and the
knife was driven home by the fall.
The various points Of this account Of the
transaction were illustrated and enforced by
the learned counsel by reading numerous
passages from the testimony. Here, at the
suggestion Of the Court, Mr.. Roberts sus-
pended his argument, and Court adjourned
for the night.
