Now that tho venerable Chief

We clip the following from the

Chief-Ju Justice Chase, who has Of

of the opinion that the Democrats
will carry the next Congress-. Eve
rything, just now, gives hope Of
such triumph. The American
people will not certainly tolerate

violence and fraud, nor can they
much longer live under this rotten
administration, which encourages
the salary steal and Overturns state
governments to perpetuate party
power. What Congress of q past
geuelation exhili ed such cOrrup-
ton and want of principle a. those
of the past decade, and especially
the one that will be handed down
to pOsterity as the Credit Mobilier
Congress When did men offer to
buy seats in Congress as nowl and
when. in the entire history of the
nation, has there been a time when
SO much cheating, swindling and
rObbing was discovered among pub

should take encouragement from
the views of . statesman and far

Chase. Owlish politicians who have
recently been issuing tickets to the
Democratic funeral, were staggered
soon sfter by Northern elections,
aud a. the interests of the people
are abandoned and lawful authority
ignored, the Republican and admin
istration style Of Craftsmanship will

Democracy has given evidence Of

shame the conduct of those who

mecratic power will eventually DO

The Richmond Duel.

The Richmond Duel.
A recent bloody and fatal due
was fought near (Richmond,) Va.
between MIR. John b. Mordecai, 6
promising young lawyer of thai
city, and a Mr.. Page McCarty, also
a resident citizen, which resulted il
the death of Mordecai, and the sc
rious wounding Of McCarty. The
cause which led to the duel was triv
ial in itself, and ought not to have
culminIted in blood and death.
We condense from the New York
Herald's report of the tragic affair
the following particulars 1t ap
pears that the principals were young
men of fine social position, and be
longed to one of the Richmond
Clubs. Alta ball given by the Club
q relgning Richmond belle was in
attendance, who had been the friend
of McCarty. but difficulty having
arisen between them, they did not
speak to or recognize each other
On the occasion referred to, the
master of ceremonies, either by &C.
cident or design, placed the estrang-
ed parties Elsa ris, and the lady had
either to produce scene by the cut
direct, or quietly acquiesce in the
arrangement, and dance with her
former fance. She chose the latter,
aud former kind relations were, to
oil appearances, once more re-estab-
lished. A short time after, an am.
biguous and unpretentious poem
appeared IN the Enquirer, which
Mordecai thought had an individual
application to the young lady III
question, and denounced the author
as a scoundrel, poltroon and coward.
McCarty avowed himself the author,
and q personal conflict then and
there was only prevented by a sug
gestion of the dmell0 as the more
satisfactory way of settling the diff
ficulty. This meeting was tempora
rily suspended by the interference Of
the police. Subsequently, however
on receiving a personal insult from
McCarty, Mordecai inflicted severe
punishment upon him, which led tc
a challenge, with the results al
above stated.
Before the death of Mordecai, the
parties to the tragedy were arrested
under the duelliug act and bailed
Since his death they have been
charged with muir Ter, new warrants
of arrest issued, and when secured
will be tried accordingly. McCarty
was found lying dangerously wound
ed at the residence of his mother
his condition not being such as tC
admit of his removal to Jail. The
seconds, Messrs. Royal and Trigg
friends of Mordecai, and Tabb and
Meredith, friends of McCarty, have
not yet been arrested.
The affair has produced intense
excitement in Richmond. The
young lady who was the primar!
but innocent cause of this useless
effusiOn of blood, is said to be ex
ceedingly beautiful and lovely, and
is nov in the deepest Distress Con
sciOus of her innocence, she is, new
ertheless, overwhelmed with sorrow
and has the sympathy of thousand.
of friends.
We are glad to know that TIT
dmello is fast falling into disrepute
and hope we will not soon be called
upon to chronicle another sucl
tragedy as We have been consider
ing.

Gov. Leslie, in his message to the
Kentucky Legislature, in regard
to the Louisiana affairs, used the
following strong language:
"Their cause is our cause for
their danger is our danger. The
bitter cup which they drink to-day
may soon be commended to our
lips. To abandon Louisiana is
to abandon the common cause of
State rights"
Gov. Leslie's words are but true.
A blow aimed at the civil rights
of Louisiana is a blow aimed at the
civil rights of every State in the
Union. lfGen. Grant has has the
right 10 destroy the legitimate gov
eminent of Louisiana has he not
the same right to act with regard

Louisiana gives will he not do itY

sadder truth than if he had exclaim-
ed, "I have lost a kingdom" Ma
poleon said that the reason why he
beat the Austrians was that they
did not know the value of five min
-utes. At the celebrated battle OF
Rivoli, the conflict seemed on the
point of being decided against him.
He saw the critical state Of affairs,
and instantly took his resolution.
He dispatched a flag to the Austrian
headquarters with proposals for an
armistice. The unwary Austrians
fell into the snare; for few minutes
the thunders of battle were hushed.
Napoleon seized the precious mo-
ments, and, while amusing the enc
my with mock negotiations, rear
ranged his line of battle, changed
his front, and in u few minutes was
ready to renounce the farce of dis.
cussion for the stern arbitrament of
arms. The splendid victory of Ri
wolf was the result. The great NOR
al victories and defeats of the world
often turned OH flee minutes. Man
letters, time flies, and all the great
interests of life are speeding on with
the sure and silent tread of destiny.
