THE FIELD OF HONOR

Mississippi hes long been noted 40 inc
nor. a;se If the duelln,-a place where wrong
c,,Id BE- avenged and insult atonsd for, &C.
cord;np TO the prescribed regulations OF me
code Laws providing punishment tor wrong
.nd pra,ec,ion from insult have rarely been
needed leading members Of the bar having
ho.n ro,,d a. the Eos, devoted champions
Of duellipg. In the good old days, before
the war. the average ''young blood" oil
Mississippi sighed for the Distinction Of :
-Ucc.--iul combat with rifles or reVoi'er' ..
twenty paoes. To grow up TO manho0o
without getting involved in an anAir o.
homo, was hardly lesa than an ofense agalnet
coed soci.,y, being accepted in the best
c;,c,ss q. . sufficient canse for doubling the
,srsopal ,oursge Of the one 30 offending. In
the .,a4. when dueling flouri-hed. the eight
3, proyoca,ions frequently led to sapgni-
mary meetings. To call in question the We
rscity Of a gentlenan-'o merely ine'nua'e
,hs; he could no, speak the truth on all &C.
casionp, without experiencing something ike
physical discomro:t-was equivalent to
challenge. To express doubt OF
one's courage or OF ones personal
cl,,ac,er wac an ofense against the
etiquette Of the period that could only be
.t,ned for on the field Of honor. Indeed to
doubt ones knowledge Of beefsteak placed
the doubter's life in peril, for the historian
says that a couple Of Vicksburgers once go'
into di-pute about Porter house steak,
which led TO bloody duel. One Of the dis
puten.s clsi,ned that a porter house STEAK
hal +. bone in it, while the other stoutly
m.ip,ainsd that il had not. and over thif
hone of contention tie combat deepened.
The historian does not tell US in what SHAPE
the beefs,eak YVES left, whether the affair Of
honor decided in favor OF the bone argu'
men, or against It. the record simply sayt
tba, one of the combatsnts received dan.
,s,ous wound at the eecond fire. However
that NAV be, it is certain that butcher
charge inst as much for beef-teak with bont
in II "a 70. steak without it, which fact il
,his upchiy.lrous age canr"t be ignored Of
overlooked.
Returning to The sub eot Of dueling with
on, further transgressing on the rights Of
immunities of bovine butchers, We rejoice Il
remark that Gov. Ames Of Mississippi j
putting forth strenuous efforts to put a siol
10 the barbarous practices of the cod,
:, ,b,. Slate. There have been of late rev
ersl disgracefui dueling affairs in Mississippi
some of when have been more scandaiou
than usual in their incidents.
Ia one case the par ties took wine, cigars
and provisions to the scene Of combat, to
pether with lot of reporters to chronicle
events. and proceeded TO commit murder
with all the Accomplishments necessary Il
give interest to the occasion. 1t was this af
fair which seems TO have aroused Governor
Ames TO DO his duty in the matter, for h
declares he bad 'the whole crowd arrestet
and locked up" ard now proposes TO have
them indicted ard punished. If Governor
Ames succeeds in enforcing the laws against
that polite method Of murder known as duel
ing. he will be entitled to the public g'ati
tUde.

xNUoS PACIFIC RAILROAD BRIDGE

1t is refreshing to know that Congress liz
taking the Union Pacific railroad in hand,
and giving that corporation to understand
that future violation Of lis charter will not
he tolerated. The House Committee has
agreed 10 report bill providing that the
hridge across the Missouri river shall be
operated as a continuous part Of the railroad.
The effect Of the enactment Of this bill would
be to put a stop to the double transfer Oh
ireigh, and passengers at Council Bluffs and
Omaha.
The bill, If it passes, will give oounci
Bluffs the advantages of the TRANSFER.

HAYES SUCCESSOR.

The vacancy in the State Treasurer Office
caused by the resignation of Col. Hayes has
been filled by the appointment of Hon. John
Francis, of Allen county. Gov. Osborn has
acted with commendable promptness in this
emergency, and withaI shown rare judgment
In the selection of an officer to serve out the
unexpired term for which Col. Hayes was
elected.
Mr.. Francis ia a good and true man, bear
ing character for integrity and business ca
paci,y that has never been asrailed. He j.
peculiarly qualified to discharge the task be
fore him, having .erved four years IS county
clerk, ard the same length of time as county
treasurer of Allen county. His
qualifications as an accountant will enable
hin TO ASCERTAIN at once the condition Of the
Stste Treasury, and present to the public a
statement embodying the information most
desired ut this time. We understand that
Senator Rogers of Jefferson county will be
called 10 the position of deputy treasurer.

Committee on Pensions, reported back the
bill ameedatory to the act granting pensions
to certain soldiers and sailors Of the var Of
1872, and TO restore to the pension rolls
those persons whose names were stricken
therefrom in consequence Of their dis
loyalty 10 the Government. Placed on the
calendar.
Mr.. Morrell, of Me-, from the COMMITTEES
on Appropriations reported back the bill foz
the relief Of persons suffering from the over
flow of the Mississippi river, which apPro.
priated $50, 600 With IN additional section
directing the Secretary Of War to iasue tenn
porary supplies and army clothing to those
suffering and appropriating $50. 900 add
tional for the same purpose,
Mr.. Edmunds moved an amendment pro-
viding that the provisions Of the bill should
expire on the lst Of September next
Mr.. Pease spoke of the suffering existing
in his State on account of the overflow and
the inability Of the sta,e authorities to re-
lieve the destitute.
Mr.. Alcorn eaid care should be taken To
distribute this food and clothing. He re-
ferred to the telegram published this morn.
ing that the negros around Memphis were
declining TO work. saying that the Govern
ment Of the United States was going to feed
and cloth them. The difficulty Wa
that ucder this bill the Ia
Dor in that country might become demoraliz-
izing. The people Of Louisiana and Misis-
slppi had been taxed largely for the construc-
ton of levees; they should have been pro-
perly made to resist the freshet II the money
had been properly expended, the object
would have besn accomplished. Louisiana
alone spent S12, OOO, 900 on the Mississippi
levees, and the State Of Mississippi had spent
&c, 200, 900. There was for the same pur-
pose S., 0OO, 600 honestly and properly ex-
pended and it would have been sufficient to
protect the State OF Mississippi from an over
flow. The most economical way to relieve
the people was for the Government to take
charge of these levees and give the poor
people employment, in reconstructing them
when the water goes down, and
not let the negroes suppose that
Federal government WAS going to feed and
clothe taem, the Secretary Of War should
have exclusive control of the relief fund.
The state Of Arkansas should also be includ-
ed in the bill. There was suffering in
that state a. well "a Mississippi and Louisi-
ana. though Mississippi was able to take
