NRw ORLEANS, July 26.-The negroes
who outraged the daughter of Ed. Tay-
lor on Tuesday last have been captured
by Sergeant Fuentos, of the Algiers Po-
lice precinct. The two villains are both
young, being nineteen years of age
each. Two witnesses, named George
Gilbert and Joseph Jones have also been
arrested, and $500 donated by citizens to
prosecute the criminals.
Two Liberals, named Louis Anderson
aud Henry Stander, were stabbed last

the sole, purpose of raising rumpus

tuition. Of course, the editor who is an
independent journalist, and who is fearless
enough to discharge his duties with Justice
to himself and fidelity to the public, will
never be turned aside from duty by any
threats of personal violence made by these
professional spitfres.
But the logic Of duelling is the absurdest
part of it all. 1t is mere spitiire logic,
and nothing more. Two little ''visual
specters" of men-the thinner of the two
being the better Of the two-have a qucs-
ton of honor to settle between them. 1t
is generally called ian affair of honor"
and it is to be settled in this very logical
way IF "visual specter A" is equally as
good shot or spitfire as "visual specter
B." the difference in dispute is to be de-
termined by an exhibition of pluck, and
not of skill in the weapon. For the mo-
ment it is demonstrated on the field of
honor that the two "visual spectersn are
equal in pluck and honor, the dispute is at
an end. The challenge which passes "hath
this guage of battel to it," quantity re-
marks an old writer, "and nothing more
I question your honor, sir, as gentleman,
and bid you show it me on the field'u !;
that Is, you are to choose your second; take
your distance at twelve PAGES wheel to
the right or left, as the case may be, at the
given signal; explode pistol into my face
as shall explode one into yours, and then
my honor is satisfied, if | am not ex-
ploded myself by the operation. do not
seek your life Qor that would be to brand
myself murderer), but do demand that
you show yourself gentleman of honor,
and | denouncc you as "a paltroon and a
coward' until you do show it. This is
what every duel amounts to, unless one of
the spitfires, in exploding his gentlemanly
weapon, happens to snuff the other spitfire
out; in which case, as Teufelsdrockh would
say, the exploded spitfire ''goes out into
the Lane," while the remaining spitfire
sinks into an inanity that is quite beyond
the reach of the "Inane." This is what
the challenger says, according to the logic
of the code:- You have insulted me, and
| demand satisfaction; but as | cannot de-
mand this Of poltroon or coward, l first
demand that you explode pistols or cross
swords with me to prove that you are no
poltroon Or coward" For, according to
the code, the moment the challenger be-
comes satisfied that his antagonist is a gen.
tleman, the qbrom ceases. For the whole
oifense consists in assuming to speak and
act as q gentleman Of courage, when you
are none in fact.

THE House bill for the protection of
game IN the State is an excellent one, and
ought to be passed. 1t prohibits the hunt
ing, shooting, or otherwise destroying par
tridges, pheasants and wild turkeys, be-
tween the LIST day of February and the LIST
day of October, and of woodcock between
the LIST day of January and the LIST day of
July. 1t also makes it unlawful to catch
any of the game mentioned above in nets,
traps or pens, for the period of two years.
There are other provisions relating to nom
residents, which are very proper, and we
hope to see the bill made the law of the
State. --

Two important State Conventions of the
Republicans were held on Wednesday, in
both of which resolutions were passed en-
phatically endorsing General Grant, and in
structng their delegates in the Philadelphia
Convention to cast united vote for him.
Werefer to the conventions held in Madison,
Wisconsin, and in Louisville, Kentucky. In
both of these conventions there was not q
dissenting voice to the action taken. The

The European League of Peace and
Liberty have sent to this country their vice
president, M. Armand Goegg, of Geneva,
Switzerland, for the purpose of more widely
disseminating their peculiar views of the
present social and political condition of Eu-
rope. Some twenty years ago NJ. Armand
Goegg visited this country on similar mis-
sion, in company with Kossuth, formerly the
Governor of Hungary. During his present
stay in this country M. Armand Goegg will
visit the principal cities in the United
States, where he will make addresses, ex-
planning the objects of the league which he
represents.

THE advice given by Senator Wilson on
Wednesday, in the Senate, during the
squabble over the Conkling investigation
matter, "that the Senate should go to work
and redeem itself from the criticisms of
the sober, rejecting people of the country,
who were already disguised at the waste of
time that had taken place." is worthy of
being written in letters of gold on tables of
the whitest Parian. What the people now
want, is that Congress should cease wran-
Cling about personal matters, and consider
some of the great and vital questions of
American industry pressing for decision.

lT is now expected that Connecticut will
fall into line, and elect the Republican
ticket. Senator Wilson and number Of
the same splendid campaigners who did
such good work with him in New Hamp-
shire, will soon take the stump in that
State, and will no doubt contribute largely
to the second great victory which fore
shawdows the inevitable result in Novem-
her.

The New York WorH in speaking of
the movement of the "Liberal Republic
cans" and their purpose to take the field
against General Grant, insists that if they
are to rely upon the Democrats for sup
port, they must boldly show their colors on
the tariff question. "The Democratic
party" it says, ''controls three millions Of
votes and while it is really to drop all
dead issues for the sake of cooperation, it
will participate in no arrangement which
shirks or ignores important Ire questions"
The keynote of the presidential contest
must be struck on the tariff question, or it
is useless for the Cincinnati Convention $50
reasons the WorlD to make any overtures
to the Democracy. Now, this little out
side arrangement, in reference to which so
much political billing and cooling has
been going on of late, is none
of our ''obsequies," nor do we propose to
join in solemnizing the interment of any
dead issues over which the World, or any
other Democratic journal, may drop the
disconsolate tear. But if the Democratic
party really imagines it is going to carry
the next presidential election on the ques-
ton Of "free-trade and British manufactur.
ing rights" it is the most fatuously
deluded party that ever went into politi-
cal contest in this or any other country.
The American mind is prepared for no such
issue. 1t has come to no such conclusions
as those reached by the World or it's chief
English writer, the "Parsee Merchant" on
the question of free-trade. The South
where the Democracy expect so much--is
further from being free-trade, in senti-
ment and opinion to-day, than the
thlckest manufacturing community in
New England. Our people here
are beginning to see that the
protective policy of the country is the
true policy for the South to rally under,
and that it offers almost the only means by
which she can repair her shattered indus
tries. This is what the most sagacious and
tar-reaching minds in the South already
see, and the World may rely upon it that
these people are going to be governed by
what they regard the paramount interest of
their section, rather than by any free-trade
abstraction which may be spun out into
fne-thread continuity in the columns of
that journal or any other. In ten years
from this time, Virginia will be unit on
protection, while New England will be as
clamorous as the World itself for free
trade. The drift is in that direction, and
the hundreds and thousands of manufactu-
ring industries, springing up all over the
South, will settle the question defnitively
before that time. Mark this prediction.
