ANOTHER DUEL.
Particulars Of the Fight between Camm
and Yung, Late Of China.

From the Pine Bluff Republican,
On the twenty-eighth ultimo Lincoln
county was the scene of a very interest
ing affair in the shape of a pure and
unadulterated duel between two SONS of
very noble families of China. It appears
| that for several centuries a rivalry has
| been existing between the houses of LAX
Zud Qui Camm and All Jon Flulee
Yung, gentlemen residents of Canton
up to 1865. Many fatal difficulties were
the result of this enmity, and the ranks
OF each family became sensibly reduced
as time elapsed. Finally the hour ar
rived for the Yung hatred to become sa-
tiated. A revolution threw it in power,
and its rival was found among the de-
| feated rebels. As a consequence, Camm
was imprisoned and tortured, and his
family banished. But he made his es-
cape, and in disguise sought his enemy,
whom he found rioting in lux
ury, and surrounded by a courtly
throng, and there slew him. After reap
ing his revenge, he destroyed himself by
hariksri, a suicide practiced by the ne
bles of that country. The banished
Camms all died but LAX Zud Qui, who
drifted about until he landed in Arkan-
sas and settled in Lincoln county. BY
the same train of events All Jou Flulee
Yung, the only survivor Of his iIlustri-
Gus house, wandered to the locality
where lived his common enemy. They
dwelt together for some time in total
ignorance of each others identity. But
the deno0ement came at last, during a
conversation about their far-off home,
and all the hatred of their nature
was stirred up anew. The rest
is soon told. They concluded that
this world could not contain them both
alive, and silently and sadly, unknown
to any one, prepared for the bloody sac
rifice. They chose the deadly Colt with
which to perfect their purpose, and after
embracing, and promising that no harm
should attach to the survivor, they took
their places, gave their own signal, and
fired. Camm fell dead, and the too
eoniding Yung now languishes in the
hotel de Doby-whither he was escorted
yesterday evening by Deputy-Sheriff-
Captain Charles Lyman-aDd wonders
why the law should interfere with the
private affairs Of foreign gentlemen
not citizens of the United States.

His reelection has caused his name to be
mentioned as the democratic candidate for
President in 1876. somewhat disturbing
the elements that nominated Mr.. Greeley.
He and Allen are certainly deserving of
special consideration at the hands of the
Bourbons. They have raised the demo-
cratic party from the dead, in spite Of the
protests Of the young democracy and the
liberal republicans, and if they are not
entitled to divide the position of standard
bearer between them there is no graft
tude among Bourbons. If the young de-
mocracy expect 10 nominate the next can

necessity of curtailing our manufacturing
production is forcing itselfupon the mill
owners, and arrangements are making to
that end pretty generally. The tendency
of value is downward. and at the present

to go on with fair sales and with fair pri-
ces, it is counting disaster to pile up goods
upon stagnant market. We hope that
the suspension will be brief. but no one
