PLEBEIANS AND MOBILES.

The duel was nearly as common
among plebeians in the good old time
as it was among gentlemen. Both
classes mostly battled with men OF their
own order, but not exclusively. A pie
beian, for fitting provocation, might
challenge a gentleman and gentle
man a plebeian. But the regulations
of the duel were not favorable TO such
encounters. When the plebeianI cbal-
lenged the gentleman, the latter might
appear mounted and armed; while his
antagonist had to fight on foot in q
wooden shirt, with wooden shield and
club. And when the gentleman chal-
lenged the peasant he was compelled,
probably as a punishment for degrading
nobility by such a combat, to forego
the equipments of his rank, and adapt
the unaccustomed fighting gear Of the
peasant. Two such duels-one OF each

Race Tracks.

The Picayune, in an article on
horse racing, calls attention to
the fact that a horse running four
feet from the inner circle of a race
track, actually runs in every
ssmile'' 25 feet, and 1 inch more
than mile of 176O yards. And
SO the horse on the outer circle
four feet from the first horse runs
80 feet and 2 inches more than a
mile, or 25 feet and 1 inch more
than his competitor. The reno
dy for this inequality in distan-
ces, the Picayune suggests, is a
track made in the shape of the
figure 8. In a track of this shape,
would not the horse getting the
start still have the advantage
Getting the inner circle at start
ing, he would at the approach to
the point of intersection in the
track, be nearer, having the short
cut, to the. opposite side of the
track, now the inner circle, than
the horse that started on the out
side and would naturally be .'trail-
ing" the leading nag. And this
advantage would be repeated at
the same point on the return
home. It seems to us that the
only way to equalize the distance
in circular tracks would he to
have inner and outer curves, with
out the central crossing recon-
[mended by the Picayune.

More Failures.

There seems to be fatality attend
ing the delivery of the TELEGRAPH
that is almost inexplicable. The most
charitable construction we can place
upon 1t, is carelessness in handling the
mails. We are hardly prepared to be-
lieve that these failures are Intentional,
although others incline to that belief,
from the fact ,as they say, that the other
paper in this place seldom miscarries.
Now here are two letters from Sterl-
ington, all office only fifteen miles dis
tant and the first on the route, that
make strange reading. Letters for a
dozen or more post-offices not reached
by that route and situated north, south,
east and west of this, are sent pell-mell
to Sterlington, while the package of
TELEGRAPHs for that Office has proba-
bly, gone down the river, or off on the
railroad. There can be no excuse for
such carelessness as this.
We thank these gentlemen for their
notes, and trust their example will be
emulated by others having knowledge
of similar derelictions :

It is astonishing the deep in
terest some of the Radical mag
mates are taking in the repairing
of levees, building of railroads,
improvement of rivers, estab-
lishment of post Offices and post
roads, Sc. Its it possible that
these gentlemen have forgotten
that we are all rebels who de-
serve to be hung, who ought not
to vote Or hold Office, who can
not hold q peaceable election,
and, in short, are blood-thirsty
Ku Kluxes who deserve as Il
punishment that the men we
don't want for Office and won't
elect, should be placed in power
over us7 Are we, after all the
hard swearing, denunciations and
assertions TO the contrary, to be
considered and treated as rational
beings7 And, more important
still, and what is to the point, are
we to be permitted in 1872 to
have a fair and honest election
and a manly submission to the
result by our newly enfranchised
patrons7 That is the point.
