A COUPLE of men in Mclean county,
Ill, recently fought a duel with three
prOnged pitchforks. After being both
nearly run through the body several times
one of the cOmbatants sank upon the
ground and died, and the other was
carried off to be patched up into good
health again, if possible. We suggest
that hereafter all duels be fought with
weapons like these. If it were rendered
imperative we would very seldom hear of
a duel.

Deputy Keratry moved that Committee

Paliakao tried to speak but the confusi on
was too great. At last he made himself
heard. He said that Marshal Bazaine was
now in command of the army, and the
Government must refuse its consent to the
proposition, as it was wholly unnecessary.
Theirs said that while the Chamber had
a right to demand all such explanation
he opposed this demand, though he felt it
was strange that such reserves should har-
pen to France with only one power opposed
to her, whereas she often stood out against
coalitions of Europe.

WASHINGTON, February 9.-The
Senate Committee on Judiciary to day
heard fifteen Georgians, who are here
as the delegation of Conservatives
who took the ground that the present
Legislature is illegally constituted,
owing to the admission Of minority
candidates, and who argued 10 favor
of the reorganization Of that body.
Governor Bullock and others, on the
Republican side, spoke briefly in op-
position. Senators Carpenter, Ed
munds and ConkliDg remembered
that at former hearing Gov. Bal
lock said the expulsion of the negroes
and the seating OF the minority candi-
dates instead, was sheer usUrpation.
The Committee will, on Saturday, give
Bullock an opportunity to explain his
contradictory position.

New YORK, Feb. 9.-The legal
tender decision does not meet with
univ, rsal sanction in financial circles.
Little objection is raised against the
equity or constitutionality of the argu-
ment and conclusions of the Chief
Justice, but the decision bears some
what hardly on quarters where obli-
gatioDs viii be required paid IN specie
instead of currency, as for the last
eight years, and there Is consequently
a desire TO cvade by some means the
result of the decision. This feeling
is likely to find expression in the in

will afford an opportunity for instI-

evening aod appointed delegates to
the State Convention, to take the
place OF such Republicans selected by
the County Convention as would
decline in their favor. At the County
Convention by some misnap the Ger
mans failed to secure their proper
tiou Of delegates, and considerable
dissatisfaction was manifested in con-
sequence. But some Of the delegates
chosen Immediately proposed to give
place to such men as the Germans
would designate as delegates, and thus
restore harmony. The delegates
selected by the Germans are among
the most influential men in Indian
apolis, and will contribute much in
making a good and popular State
ticket.
