NEw ORLEANS, July LA private
dispatch from Bay ST. Louis states that
a duel was fought near Montgomery
station this morning between ex-
Judge VIM. II. Cooley and r. b. Rhett,
Jr., OF the PicayuRe, in which Cooley
was killed at tho second shot. The
difficulty grew out of an article pub
lisbed in the Picayune headed "Ifaw-
kins Us. Picdyune," and the reply from
Judge Cooley published in the Times
of the 9th. Col. Rhctt was not touch.
ed. 1t is understood Rhett was the
challenging party. They fought with
double, ,barreled shot guns loaded with
ball +; distance forty PAGES.
A Times special says In the Rhott
and Cooley duel Judge Cooley was
killed at the second fire. The parties
arrived at tho place on the Same train,
at 10 o'clock this morning. Mr.. Rhett
was accompanied by Nossrs. Chas.
Roman and DR.. Burns, and Judge
Cooley was attended by Col. e. w.
Carter and Major M Roezlph. The
weapons were double -barrelcd shot
guns, one barrel loaded with single
bal, distance forty yards. The ground
was promptly selected, tho distance
measured, and the parties placed in
position. At the first fire Rhett's shot
ranged high and Cooloy's to tho right.
Cooley delivered his fire first. AT the
second fire both fired simultaneously,
and Cooley fell, MORALLY wounded by
a shot entering his left side and pass-
Jog apparently through his heart
Ho expired in six minutes, without
apparent suffering, only speaking the
words to DR., Holiday, II am shot
through the breast Tho gentlemen
engaged in the affair arranged the
usual civilitics after the second fire,
and separated with expressions OF mu
tual respect and consideration.

A vast deal Of cheap morality has
been expended over the death of Judge
Cooley, who fell by tho hand Of Col.
Barnwell Rhett IN duel which grew
out of tho base election frauds in Lou.
isiana. Thcrc may be no logic IN tho
ducilo, but there aro after all worse
things. For Instance, IL is worse to
rob tho people of whole State of
their freedom, than it is to kill one of
tho accessories to tho robbery in o
fairly conducted duel. Ifsnot, then
was tho war of tho Revolution deadly
sin, and no one of Washington's sol.
diers drew his trigger upon the enemy
without being murderer.
Tho old Laird of Auchinlech, the
father Of tho famous biographcr of DR..
Johnson, when asked by that great
man what good had resulted from tho
execution Of King Charles Of England,
replied, at gar Kings ken there was
acrick in their necks." Possibly the
death of Cooley will let the carpet.
baggers Of Louisiana know that tho
liberty Of tho press will be defended
ut every cost. If the death of Judge
Cooley produces u disposition in the
mind Of Kellogg and of his master to
call off their dogs and permit the
Louisianans to be their own rulers, il
will be moderate price for a great
good but if il only whcts tho appe-
tites Of the blood hounds Of Radicalism
for the blood of Rhett, as seems TO bo
indicated by the recent news from the
southwest, wo apprehend that even
still the Picdyune will not be muzzled
without struggle.
In fact the cause of that paper ia
the cause of every newspaper in the
country which is not run by an officer
OF the government, or filled TO the
very lips with government advertis-
ing; let these people triumph over
tho Press in New Orleans, and succeed
in dragging the editor of the N. Y. Sun
to Washington to be tried by one Of
Grants police justices, and bard times
will have come to the proprietor of
every Dcmocrrtic paper nthc country.
Things arc progressing pretty lively
just now; these affairs are nero feel
ers of the public pulse if the govern.
ment is successful, another victim will
follow, until the only newspapers left
in existence will be those in tho pay
of and who are content to be tho sup
pie servants Of the administration

Bingham's Yatemperamee.

The painful news reaches us from
Washington that the most serious re-
monstrances have been made against
the appointment Of John A Bingham,
oil Ohio, as Minister to Japan, not on
account Of his connection with the
Credit Mobiler scandal, but because
Of his Incorporate habits. Ever since
the hanging OF Mrs. Surratt, this vice
has been growing upon him, until il
has now become open and notorious.
Refused denomination last summer
by the people Of his Congressional dis
trict Mr.. Bingham has been promoted
to the higher dignity of representing
this nation at the capital Of Japan's
thirty millions ofpopulation. Invicw
of the fact that Mr.. De Long owed his
removal to charges similar to those
now madc against his successor, it is
impossible to account for the appoint
ment 1t would seem rs if we wore
anxious to reveal our worst vices TO a
people anxious to study American
civilization. 1t is singuarly improp-
er tha. q man who is constantly under
tho influence of liquor should be com
missoned to disgust, by his habits,
the keenest and most progressive peo-
pie OF Asia. If japan regards IL as an
insult, the blame must rest upon tho
power that commissioned tho new
amkassador.-N. Y. Graphic.

The Iyy,nam,,ered shah.

For two weeks past Europe has
been convulsed by tho presence of q
live Shah-the Emperor Of the Per.
sian Empirc--to whom the crowned
heads of Europe have extended thoil
hospitalities. The refined Europeans
soon learned after the arrival Of the
Shah and his suite that good manners
were not extensively cultivated in
Persia. A correspondent of the New
York Herald arrived at Berlin, the
capital Of Prussia, just after tho Per-
slams had left. We will lot him tell
what he learned after his arrival. The
Killing of King Williams pet lambs
by the Shah's servants and wiping
thcir bloody hands on tho curtains
was not tho only nnoiviizcd freak
they INDUCED in. The correspondent
says: lI

Of Persia has left and tho Emperor himself is a.

ton and unplcasantnoss connected with the visit

general belief here is that the Kaiscr's sickness
was feigned In order TO escape the annoyanccs
caused and the breaches of etiquette committed
by the Shah. at is q curious fact" says the
wise PORTER Of my hotel, "that the Kaiser was
better on the very day nttor the Shah left u.s.

sAoetng the Treasury ssceds.

In 1916 the entire expenditures OF
the Treasury Department on account
Of tho salaries of the Secretary, Comp
trollers, Auditors, Register, Treasurer,
Commissioners OF Revenue and Con
cral Land Office, all their clerks and
J messengers, watchmen, and laborors
were only sll5,820,9S. The amount
Of business transacted then was by no
means Insignificant. The General
Land Office and the Indian Office were
at that time included in this depart
ment. Nearly fifty millions of dollars
were annually collected and disburscd.
The annual contingent expenses of tho
department, including the public print
ing for all the departments OF the
Government, were less than five thous-
ard dollars
1t is true that the growth of the
country since the close of tho last
British war is uncxamplcd in tho his
tory Of the world. But unfortunately,
with our increase of wealth and revc-
nue. there has been q corresponding
decrease of official morality. One of
tho results of this inverse progress OF
national wealth and official morality
is witnessed in tho immense increase
of the contingent expenses of the
Treasury Department during Grants
administration. For the coming fiscal
year 1927 500 have been appropriated
for tho contingent fund of that depart
mont. Thisis nearly twice the amount
required to defray the entire expenses
Of tho Treasury during its administra-
ton by William IL. Crawford or Rich
ard Rush.
But il was not customary in former
years for heads of bureaus to have
two or three carriages, or for chief
clerks and other iavoritcs TO indulge
in similar Injuries at the peoples cx-
pcnse. With what magnificent wrath
Andrew Jackson would have kicked
an officer out of the civil service who
had approved an account for annual
repairs to two ordinary wagons which
amounted to S2,69993l What would
he have said if there had been paid
out Of the contingent fund of his day
for "repairs of harness" 81 ,l3lss; and
for "repairs of cariages," sl,l76 70,
there being only two wagons in use by
the department authorized by law?
The venerable William NJ. Meredith
who presides with so much dignity
and impartiality over the dclibera-
tions of the Pennsylvania Consttu-
tional Convention, was Secretary of
the Treasury in lS49-50 Imagine his
indignation had ono of his subordi-
mates approved and paid ont of the
contingent fund an account similar to
the following:
