State corresponding to it? RG.
New York Nov 13, 1866.
The law Of 23d of May, 1850, fixes
the number of Members of Congress at
233, who are redistributed among tie
States after and in accordance with
every decennial census. An act of
March 4, 1852 increased, however tie
numbers of Representative from 233 10
24l, by allowing one additional Rel
resentative to eight States, of which
Illinois was one. The number of Con-
gressmen of Illinois was thus raise d
from 13 to Il. The State Legislature
of Illinois, instead of dividing the State
into IA districts, preferred to elect Or
ly 13 members in separate districts,
and to have the fourteenth elected Iy
the vote of the whole State. This is
the Congress at large" for which OF.
fee Gen. Logan has just received a
majority approaching 10000 Illinois

TITS reported that Senator Dixo,

IT IS reported that Senator Dixon,
Of Connecticut has said that he will
hereafter be found opposed to the
''policy'' of the Administration. Not
strange at ALL After battle has been
fought and won, there are always
few deserters and skulkers who rush to
the front and tell of valorous deeds.
Dixon has been fighting the people with
all his might since 1864, and has
used his power as dispenser of bread
and butter in Connecticut to brake up
and destroy the Republican party
having failed, he now proposes to be a
vigorous radical until May, 1868, in the
hopes that he may be reelected His
theory is that the people can not re-
member anything more than two years.
He will find himself greatly mistaken,
as will all other traitors to the Re
publican party, who reasons as he does.

This correspondence, which began
in June, 1919, did not terminate till
February, 1920, and the fatal meeting
was delayed seven weeks longer by the
sickness of Commodore Barron. At
length, GA the 22d of March, 1920, the
two officers met at Baldensburg to de-
eide their long controversy by the
pistol.
A considerable number of naval of .
ficers, besides the seconds, were on or
near the field. One of the antagonists
being near-sighted, they were placed at
the distance of eight PAGES. When
they were in position Barron said to
Decatur:

The word being given, they fired so
exactly together that it sounded like

fall, hut was caught, and staggered for
ward few steps, and sank down close
to Barron; and, as they lay on the
grodud, both expecting to die, they
conversed together, as follows-as near
as could be collected:
''Let us" said Barron, ''make friends
before we meet in Heaven. Everything
has been conducted in the most honor
able manner, and | forgive you from
the bottom of my heart
II have never been your enemy"
Decatur replied, "and | freely forgive
you my death, though I cannot forgive
those who stimulated you to seek my
life.'

you had said as much yesterday -
According to one witness, Decatur
added
"God bless you, Barron"
To which Barron replied, "God
bless you, Decatur
The wounded men were then remoy-
ed to their lodgings. Before the dawn
of tie next day Decatur breathed his
last, but Barron, suffering severely
for several months, recovered
his health. He was eventually restor-
ed to the full honors Of his profession.
