A NEW CODE OF MORALS.

A journalist who fearlessly discharges
his duty has no easy task to perform. He
is called upon to guard the public by the
exposure of wrongs, in the shape of frauds,
corruption and outrages, often committed
by men in high position entrusted with
the property, honor or lives of their pat
rons. In doing so he sometimes comes in
conflict with men whose ideas of honor
are peculiar. What can be said III
defense of that foolish notion
that sometimes obtains, that grave impu-

long into the utmost depths of barbarism.
And yet such is the practical result of the
teachings of those who uphold the code of
honor. According to that code, the man
who is branded as a defaulter ora betrayero of
trusts, relieves himself of the stigma which
suchcrimes justly afliX, by proposition
to fight duel. Though the charges of
fraud be true; though the crimes charged
were committed, the accused justifies him

nation of the chivalry by willingness to,
resort to brute force or to risk his life on
the chances of a shot or a sword thrust.
What an idea! What depraved senti-

custom! To recognize such an amend

humanity, would he to turn our faces to-

sentiment exists in the South on this
subject than once obtained The appeal
to brute force is no longer evidence
OF courage, but is rather regarded as al
evidence of cowardice. 1t is not proof of
manliness, and no right minded man will
so regard it. The day for duels has passed
and the reign of law and reason is es~
tablished.

the lower branch of the Legislature, has
