DIsPos1NG OLA DUEI1sT.-A
case which is likely to call
forth all the emotional resour-
ces OF a French jury, is told as
follows: 0.-.....
a young man having ac-
cepted challenge from a noted
duelist, goes home and tells his
mother all about it. The good
lady rushes off distracted to the
house of the duelist, whom she
finds practicing with a pistol in
his garden, and what is worse.
hitting the mark every time.
She implores mercy, but is
coldly repulsed by the marks
Ihan, who declares his intention
to Kill her son. Thereupon, in
her wrath and terror, the poor
woman snatches up a pistol
and shoots the duelist dead.
The chances are that she will
be acquitted, and indeed it is
difficult to imagine any case
which offers more genuine
eNtenuation. A jury Of moth
ers would not deliberate long
on their verdict.

The defenders of the back-sala-
~ grab imagine that they have
fairly met and vanqnished the
directors to tie law when they
have shown that previous Con.
gress have voted similar increases
of pay. The greatest objection to
the law is that it provides for too
great a compensation for a very
poor article of work. There are
exceptions, of course, but we are
quite sure that four -fifths of the
members of Congress, who are to
receive $1,000 per annum by the
new law, cannot earn $1,000 i'll
any Of the ordinary avOcatiOns of
business men. 1t is said that the
Increase has become necessary on
account of the high price ofhviRg
IN Washington society. The less
our congressman live among the
high-fyers at Washington, the
better they will work for their
constituents. A man who goes to
Congress for the sake of cutting a
figure in fashionable society,
makes a very poor public setant,
and if it now takes 81 500 to pay
mans expenses for residing six
months at the National Capitol,
the same man or his successor will
require $1,000 per annum a few
years hence.- Missouri Democrat.

DIED

. At the residence ofhis mother. Mrs.
Louisa Abney, on Carroll street, in
this place, on the 3rd instant, WILL
LIAM THOMAS PATTON; aged
70 years months and 20 days.
The deceased was born in Mont
gomery county, Alabama. He was
affable and courteous in his DISPOSE
ton, and was highly respected by all
who knew him. Thus in his early
manhood, and at an age when the
human intellect is just beginning to
mature, and when the young heart
looks forward with the brightest
hopes of a long and happy life, was
this young man snatched from his
friends and kindred by the infIexible
hand of death. He was buried at the
Springville Cemetery by the Mason
ic fraternity, and his remains were
followed to the grave by large con-
course Ofpeople.-[G Oushatta Citizen.
Died, on Saturday, May 3rd, 1873.
VIM. L. PATTON i b a'.r. I'f'.
How many the emotions of grief
which will arise in the hearts ofthose
who have known our friend on read
ing the above. He was buried with
Masonic honors at Springville in the
presence of numerous friends and
relatives. William was one of that
class rarely found in this cold and
uncharitable world. Generous to a
fault, he lived without ostentation
the brightest ornament of the circle
in which he moved. Though having
lived but a short time in the commu-
nifty, no one will be more regretted
The soul of honor; a devoted son, IAN
an affectionate brother, and n true
friend. In truth was he one of ma
lures noblemen- Deeply sympathiz-
ing with the bereaved family, may
He Who took him away console
them in their loss.-COushatta Times

The Shreveport Times lin

Inc CiliONSpN
eatIis a fact Which has not been
Sufficiently ventilated by the
nrrss ef.this State. The Plea
Inue. the most uncomprOmis-
M advocate ofhostility to the
TelIoeg regime, and the loud
estdennnciator of all who give
# even constrained recognition
in any shape, has never had a
wordto say on the subject;
1rbile the n. o. Times, then
nursaRg lis efforts for compro-
mise. let the matter go by
default, as having no bearing
cp-the political tendency which
twas seekingto develop. We
refer to the haste made by the
municipal government of New
orleans to give in its adhension
to the Kellogg usurpation, of
which the Shreveport Times
says:
"The Kellogg government
could not have sustained itself
had it not been recognized 10y
city council of New Orleans.
It isa well known fact that a
delegation from the legislature,
daring its recent sessions,
headed by Gov. McEnery,
waited Oh that council and re>
uuested them, if they could do
nothing more, at least TO refrain
from recognizing Kellogg, and
that the Mayor and Admins
traitors declined to grant the
request"
The statement of the Times
is strictly correct. The city
government, being appealed t.
By q legislative committee,
responded, in a letter still pre-
served in the records of the
MeEnery senate, that it could
not recognize us till we had
achieved success when they
would abe happy to do So
Tbeiudges, sheritfs, clerks, and
other officers Of the court had
abandoned us before the ink on
Darell's S decree had become dry.
Aud, with the exception of a
few who were silent, the city
members of the Fousion legis-
lature applauded the mayor
and administrators, and de-
Tended them from the structures
ofthe country members, who
maintained that the recognition
Ofkellogg as the de facto gov
ernor by the city of New Or.
leans was a base abandonment
By friends, likely to result, by
ms moral and material support
efthe enemy, in the. final over
throw of the McEnery govern,
ment.
Many gentlemen who are
how the most prominent ere.
sisters" as they were then nos
Violently opposed a compro
mise, were the first to endorse
Itnot TO counsel the city gov.
eminent in its course, and said
that "the parishes, being
provincial, might act different,
"; bnt the city. being metro
polltan. and having so much al
stake, could not hazard its gov,
eminent on the struggle" In
Short, the action of the city
government was a premedita
ted deSertion of our cause
Dictated by pure selfishness
That II was the turning point
in the fortunes of two riva
STATE governments, no unpre'
judieed mind will deny
iAatcsitoeles Times.

p The provision In the license
laws in force in some OF the
Western States which in effect
makes the seller responsible
for the evil effects resulting
from an Incorporate use of the
liquors sold to his customers,
has led to many curious suits,
one Of the most singular of
which is now pending in an
Iowa court. a firm of drug
gists in Waverley sold a pint
of whisky to aman of the name
Of Thies, on his representation
that his wife was very ill and
needed the liquor for medicinal
purposes. Whether this story
was true or false does not ap-
pear; bat if the woman really
needed the whiskey she never
got it, as her hausbaRd- drank
it all on the way home, and in
consequence fthisindiscretion
lost command of himself, fell
out Of his. wagon, and broke
his neck. The widow has esti-
mated her loss at $4,000, and
has SUED the druggists who
sold Ihies tie liquor torecover
damages in that amount.

The following from the New
Orleans Times; is rather hard
on the politicians:
For several years, the whole
strategy of Northern politi-
clans, republican and Demo
cratic; has been to keep the
South i'll hot water for the Dur
pose OF influencing the popular
mind at the North. And in the
South, the common run of
Democratic politicians have
been stupid enough, and the
common run of carpet-bag poll
ticians have been INSCRIPTIONS
enough to do the utmost Tor
making that strategy d CON-
plete success in the particular
Of perpetual hot water, diversi-
fled with frequent boilings over
and occasional steam eXplo-
SionS.
Is it not time for sober and
rejecting people, North and
South, to take this water tenn
perature business out Of the
control OF political knaves on
the one hand, and of political
imbecifes on the other, aud
adjust it, according to common
sense, to theirOw satisfaction,
and the good of the whole
country ~.
