DE CONTO BACK AGAIN.

There arrived In this city yesterday from Ha-
vana the eminent duelllst, Don Jose Ferrer de
Conro, the wearer OF some twenty knightly and
religious orders. The spaniards IN this city are
much exercised over his arrival, and propose to
dine and wine him, as their brethren IN France,
Spain and Cuba have lately done for upholding
the cause OF Spain and Cuba, zone and indivist-
ble." The Don some months back left Canada for
Liverpool by one OF the Allan line Of steamers, In
company with Colonel Pho Rosado, we'll known
arrived on tue Continent Of Europe they proceeded
to spot on the French and Belgian frontiers,
accompanied Dy their respective seconds. Colonel
RosadO fought, not because he mad any unpleas-
antness with the illustrious Don. but simply be-
cause ne had agreed to act as second for Mr.. Juan
Beido de Luna, editor OF the Cuban paper La
Independenctd, the organ OF the patriots In this
city, who had called Mr. Conto everything except
arrested and brought to Jefferson Market Police
Court, ana placed under heavy bonds not to leave
the state or break the peace. At this state OF
AFFAIRS the duel promised TO be asco. but Colonel
resolved to accompany him, and have some pistol
practice with him at che first opportunity. The
Cuban duellO code Obiges the second to fight
when by Pickwtckian or other circumstances
Don ContO showed tnat ne was fighter, ana
evinced no trepidatiOn when the duel was about
commencing. He was wounded in the affair In
his left side, and was forced TO keep his oed for
some time at Paris. Since then he has become a
shining light and noble chevaller among his
cOuntrVmen during his travels. IL Is reported
that he Will be reelected President OF tne Spanish
society OF this city, LA National" 1t Is to be
hoped on humanitarian principles, that the spill

vast amount Of rebutting testimony to
show shat her reputation was above reproach
till her intimacy with Glendenning. All this rebut-
ting testimony was ruled out by the Presbytery.
Mr.. Glendenning testihed in his defence that Miss
Pomeroy admitted she was unchasye from an early
age. He refused to give details, but from rumors
circulated IN the community an inquiry was
deemed advisable In Ovid, N. Y, where Mary
PomerOy spent many years.

THE GERMAN REPUBLICANS.

The German Republican Central Committee held
its closing session for 1874 at its rooms, No. $40
Bowery, last night, when measures proposed by
the Executive Committee to effect leorganiza.
ton OF the German republican ranks were dis
cussed. DR.. Munr presided, and q plan OF reor-
ganization, after q lengthy discussion, was
adopted, providing for primary elections
to be held In each or the different
Assembly districts until the 18th OF January. Soon
thereafter the Central Committee for 1875 Is to
meet for organization. A platform, embracing q
declaration OF principles, was adopted, declaring.
among other THINGS that tine aspect OF political
affairs OF the country, the result or the recent
elections and other circumstances are such that
they will cause all earnest republicans to
reflect. Facts are stronger than theories,
ana whatever may be held OF theoretical and prac.
tcal politics, the result OF the October ana Novem
ber elections tended to reveal Q state OF afrairs
which should not be ignored or lost sight OF by
faithful adherents OF republican principles, but
should impel them to keep vigilant eye on the
attitude OF the aggressive democracy,
whose recent successes cannot be denied. In
view OF these circumstances. they should hail with
satisfaction any measures and policy that the
national government may adopt wnlcn are cal.
culated to deprive the democracy In Its aggressive
policy, OF an opportunity TO throw discredlt on
the republican party and to impeach republican
administration and republican legislation.
