JOURNALISTIC. Col. B. r. Rhett, Jr., +,
has withdrawn from the editorial ma
nagement of the New Orleans Picayune;
the Board of Directors having deter
mined, owing to the stringency of the
times" to adopt cooperative plan
Col. Rhett concludes lis valedictory as
follows:
SIN closing our connection with the
Picoyune, we believe that We have full
filled our part. Whatever of counsel
may be in us in political affairs, We have
given to the State without reservation.
Whatever of knowledge or of capacity
We possess, we have devoted with earn
est solicitude to the best interests of the
State. We trust, and VIC have conf
dence that we have counseled for the
best. Our record for this short period
is. however, fresh and before the public.
We have no tears Of penitence to shed
and no mock humility to express over
our work. In our quiet withdrawal
from public affairs under the pressure
of peouniary necessity, We do not find
need for a1ectation. We have no public
errors to repent, that We are aware of,
and we find no cause for shame OK for
regret in our past career. We have en-
deavored to uphold the honor and in
tegrity Of the State OF Louisiana under
every emergency"

VINO Wou1DN'T BE AN Ep1roE?-A
Wheeling, West Virginia, despatch,
OF the 10th inst, says: AS reported last
evening. Major J. Sweeney assaulted
and beat O. 8. Long, editor of the
Register, fox abusive articles published
in yesterday mornings paper. This
mornings issue contains further reAeo.
tions on Sweeney's character, and abuses
him terribly. About IL o'clock, Swee.
ney met Louis Baker, proprietor, and
j. s. Olarkson, local editor of the pa.
per, and, after some words, all three
drew revolvers, and the firing com.
menced. Baker was slightly wounded,
and CIarkson was hurt in the hand.
Baker and Clarksop then took refuge in
q store. There will probably be more
shooting before the polls close. Swee-
ney is candidate for the Legislature at
the election to-day.

Captious readers of the Columbia rs.
o. Nail may complain OF the editors
inconsistency in acknowledging the re-.
ceipt OF milk punch in one column.
and publishing Temperance Depart
ment" in the next. But that gentleman,
believing in fair and a,nicablo division
OF labor. explains that the "editor of
the Nail has nothing to do with what
goes into the temperance column OF his
paper, nor have the gentlemen who con-
duct that department anything to do
with what goes into the editor of the
Mail"
The editors of the above had their
mails badly mixed. The punch was
tried by more than one.

The finding OF eighteen bodies cs Nor
wesians at Spitzbergcn by the Germans
who went to their relief, adds another to
the long list of illustrations of the perils
OF Arctic exploration. Company after
company have been wrecked on those
icy heAdands. or havo gone down under
the fearful cold. What list OF valuable
lives have been lost, from the valiant
Hudson down to franklin and our own
Captain HILL! And oil for what? Prac-
tically nothing. it would seem. Who
cares whether there are few leagues of
glittering ice-helds more or less in those
high Arctic latitudes? OF what use or
value is it 10 mankind to know that there
is an open sea about the Pole, or to be
assdred that ship may possibly sail
through the grinding ice foes from
Davis to Behring's Straits? The whole
Arctic region is not worth so much as
Madagascar. or even the Sandwich
Islspds, which we should hardly be will
ing to take as gift.

The French are comparatively quiet
under the new regime. though far from
reconciled to it. Ono secret of their
quiescenoe lies in the fact that they have
500.000,Q00 francs to pay to Germany
before the 9Th of September. They eau
not afford to punish tho Conservatives
while Bis1nark stands at their elbow with
his little unpaid bin and the biggeat
army in Europe to COLLECT it with.

WANTED TO KNow.-One day, we see

WANTED TO KNow.-One day, we see
that Kellogg has telegrsphed to the At.
torney. General OF the United States, at
Washington, that all is. quiet in Louisi-
ana. The next day, he telegraphs that
the taxes are being paid with great
promptness. The next day, that the
State has paid so many thousand dollars
of interest on her bonds. And so on.
On Tuesday, we read in the kilograms
that the Attorney General had been in
formed by telegraph that Kellogg had
requested the Governor OF Mississippi to
prosecute the parties concerned in tho
Rhett Cooley duel. Now. what has the
Attorney General OF the United States
to do with Louisiana affairs? Why
should he be informed by telegraph, at
the expense of the over-taxed people of
that State. of everything that Kellogg
aud his under-strappers have done or
propose to do? Why should he be told
that Louisiana proposes to do this, that
or the other, but never told what New
York, Virginia or Pennsylvania proposes
to do? Il is because Louisiana is q sa-
trapy, and Kellogg Grants satrap. He
owes his Office to Grant, and he reports
to him Gs regularly as G sc-Seant-major
or adjutant of the army renders his
morning report. Kellogg seems to be
utterly insensible to shame. Otherwise,
We would scorn 80 to degrade even q
State in which he can claim but carpet
bagger's interest.

fortunate duel which occurred few days
since between r. B. Rhett,. Jr.. and
Judge Cooley. We do not propose to
discuss the "Code, nor to say that duel
ing is right or wrong. We do not consi-
der it always an evidence OF personal
courage to fight duel, nor do we consi.
der it an invariable evidence OF cowardice
to decline challenge. Brave men have
refused to fight. aud cheap regulations
have been made By challenging non-com-
batants. The bearing of the ''Code," as
applies to individual instances. is thing
to be regulated by the parties imme-
diately interested. We regret the neces-
sity that occasioned the death of Judf 9
Cooley, and We regret more, that as noble
o man. as gallaut Southron, and chi
valrous q gentleman as r. B. Rhett, Jr.,
had to commit the act OF killing. Our
sympathies all go to Rhett. and If either
had to bo killed, we are glad that Judge
Cooley had to fall. Wo are confident
that VS. reflect the sentiment of the VIII ole
white people of the South. But then,
we ask, what has been proven By the
duel? Has the status of facts been
changed by the fight aud its results:
Cooley believed III the "Codc;" Rhett,
Jr., WAS schooled under its teachings
both were brave men they met, exchanged
couple Of shots. Cooley fell, victim
to the Code, and the facts remain jls
Us they were. In tho language o; the
Augusta Chronicle and Sentinel, we ask
docs Cooley's death prove that the
Picdyune did assail Longstreet, Heron
and the rest Of the kellogg Returning
Board as grossly rs it did Mr.. Hawkins
or thnt Colonel Rhett, the editor of tha
paper, is not an 'artful dodger' or will
full falsiier?' Is it settled that Judge
Cooley was in the wrong, because his
ball went wide OF tho mark, while that O.
his enemy lodged in his heart? Surel,
not. This bloody relic of barbarism, this
modern substitute for the ancient ordea
OF battle, with more than it's folly anc
less than its justification, can settle no
thing, can prove nothing. The Code
may make men murderers; it may carry
desolation and heart-sicknesa to happy
homes and families; it may make womer
widows aud children fatherless, bat i
can furnish no guide to the discovery O
facts; it is powerless to determine dis
puted question. Selma Ala Times.
