AN INDIAN DUEL.

Remark able Fight Between TIVE
Braves-Determined Bravery of th,
C0mbafants The War whOop and
Fatal shots.
From the Helena Montana Herald. N
Those who are under the impress
sion that Indians possess no per.
sonal bravery, and that their only
prowess with deadly weapons il
when they hold the vantage ground
either among themselves or in war.
fare against the whites, would have
been disabused of this impression
could they have witnessed one oil
the bravest and most thrilling en-
actments of tragedy, the equal OF
which, perhaps, has never taken
place within the bounds of Mon
tana. An Indian duel took place
near Mr.. Holter's saw mill, situated
on Ten Mile creek, and about six
miles from town, yesterday after
noon, an account Of which, as we
were then informed, was published
in last evenings Herald.
From an eye witness of the bloody
affair we are in possession of further
particulars, which were related to
us as follows:
A few Indians were in a cabin
occupied by some of the employees
Of the mill, when one of them dis
played his revolver, at the same
time expatiating on its merits and
his own extraordinary skill in its
use This he carried to such an
extent that another brave of the
party exclaimed in his native tongue,
"Ugh, you can't shoot ?" and de-
nounced him as braggart, at the
same time saying that he could put
him TO shame at his own game.
Whereupon, native No. l proposed
test of skill, giving his opponent
the advantage of rife, his favor
lite weapon. This was at once ac-
coded to, and immediate prepare
tons were made for a duel in their
own peculiar style. By this time
about twenty warriors had collect
ed, and all repaired a short way
from the cabin where they marked
off about forty feet-the dis
lance that was to separate the hos.
tile savages. During these pre-.
partitions the doomed warriors
looked upon each other with the
most stolc indifference, and the
crowd waited for the denoument in
silent wonder. When all was made
ready, the opponents took their
position for the last act; standing
with their heel on the mark-back
to backbone with revolver and the
other with his rife. One of the
natives had been selected to act as
second for both; he took his posi-
ton a little aside from the line of
fire; waved a spear, decorated with
paint and feathers, two or three
times above his head, gave the
terrible war whoop, and, on the in
slant, the duelists wheeled and
fired. Both fell, one shot through
the brain, the other pierced to the
heart Thus ended one of the most
extraordinary and tragic encounters
that has ever come within our pro
vince to record.

CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENE ION.
,uE pnEsIDENT's MESSAGE.

The President has been compelled to
talk on other subjects than race horses
and blond women. His Message was
delivered to Congress day before yester-
dsy, which was soon afterward tele-
prapbed over the entire country. The
document might be regarded as rather a
business communication but not OF the
highest order, by any meanF. The color
Of the thing is very black and has the
scent OF the "nagur" about it. On the sub
;ect of reconstruction he advises Con-
gress TO at once restore the State of Vir-
g;uia to her old place in the Union and
admit to the halls of Congress her Rep
rssentatiyes. This President who hes
sworn to support the Constitution OF the
United States now proposes to put
Georgia again out of the Union until she
has been thoroughly reconstructed on
Radical principles and in the interest OF
that party.
We would like to be Informed how 1t

ton OF specie payment. DE thinks
the public debt might be paid in ten
years, but opposes such thing. He
favors the funding of the debt 10 bonds,
bearing interest no, exceeding four and
a half per cent. He is in favor of post
poning legislation on the tariff and
internal revenue laws until the next

reduction OF the tax on incomes, at the
rate Of four per cent, to expire in three
years, with the funding Of the public

that il has educated two hundred OF their

people The Southern Professionals do
not reflect that the moment the Catholic
church shall thus OPP My take the negro s

Southern politicians Of ell parties will
pay homage to that church which they
never did before Then the Protestant
clergy will open their eyes 10 astonish-
ment, and urge their churches to pay
special attention TO the negro population.
They will God out that they have sinned
away their dsy Of grace, and that their
labor will have begun to late, The wis

lie church in this work is worthy OF the
highest praise. The ssgacious men who
