In that case, said the greenhorn, have
the best Of the bargain. | have made the
$500 without any risk, while if gold had not

4 Bloody Duet at NesO Orleans
WitA BrOddSaVOrIs.

The famous duelling ground on the Me-
tairie ridge, known as The Oaks" was the
scene yesterday morning Of sanguinary
duel between two young men of this city,
which has rarely had its parallel In the an
mails Of the code, either in this country or in
Europe. The antagonists were: the one a
native Creole Of New Orleans, the other a
Frenchman by birth; the provocation, a
blow in the face at the hand OF the Creole

mans sword wounded his opponent in the
right arm. The ripSote from the Creole laid
open the Frenchman's left cheek, laying the

that point; but the man with the handker

should quiet his animosty except a cui

The Supreme Court Of the United
States recently decided in the case 0!
the State Bank of Tenacssce'g notes
that the issue prior to the war should
he receivable in payment for all taxes
or monies due the State. The dues.
ton did not come before the Supreme
Court as to the validity Of the notes
issued during the war and consequent
" was not decided.
Fad the question come before the
supreme Court, we have no hesitancy
in expressing it rs our belief, that it
would have decided these notes known
as the "ncw issue to be receivable
likewise for all taxes or monies due the
State. 1t must be conceded that this
"new issue" was issued and paid out in
the daily transactions Of the bank, and
had no more intent TO further the ire
bcllion" than the old issue; if this be
true, and the issuing and paying out
these notes-in the language Of Chief
Justice Chase, "were transactions in
the ordinary course Of society" how
can any one escape the conclusion
that the States responsibility for them
must be equal with that for the old is
snes?
