VERMONT IN CoSGRsss. In the United
States Senate on Thursday Mr. Edmunds
made point of order that the resolution to
adjourn over the holidays could not be con-
sidcred, under the rules, without unanimous
consent The chair ovcr-ruled the point
oforder. But on Friday the chair announced
thot he had been examining precedcnts and
had come to the conclusion that the ruling
against the Senator from Vermont yes.er-
day, was erroneous. Proceedings, there
fore, on the resolution, under the ruling,
were void. This is not the first time a pre-
siding office has had to take back n ruling
against Senator Edmunds. Few legislators
are more thoroughly familiar with parla-
mentary law and presidents, than he.

\ DUEL A couple of New Orleans men,
Whiting and Drury by name, settled little
difference very neatly, the other day, by
the old duel method. The weapons were
foils, and the place was fair ground near
the city. The young men took their posi-
tons very coolly Mr.. Drury got fear
full wound in his pantaloons, and in the
fourth pass Whiting was cut in the left
arm, whereupon the seconds, having dis
cussed several points of the code decided
that honor had been satisfied. Mutual es-
teen then sprung up in the bosoms of the
fighters, and, having elapsed hands, they
returned home in the utmost good humor.
