SOME NOTABLE BvEr.S.

From the Louisville Courier-Journal.
The niccties of the code have the
honor of being of royal origin. Fran
els |. laid down the principle "that the
lie was never to he put up with without
satisfaction, but by base born fell
low" and he divided lies into thirty
TWO classes. These nice distinctions of
the code have been the means of its
preservation. They distinguish "the
gentlemen from other classes of men,
and few men have had the nerve, I'M
Ill recently, TO repudiatc the authority
of tho code in matters affecting their
honor among gentlemen. This sensi-
tivcness has at all times had the effect
of making men in official as well as in
private station fly in the face
of the law to resent real or I'M
aginary insults. 1t is rather
remarkable fact that dueling be-
came more frequent in England
aS society bccame more order
lv. and as the law looked with increas-
ing disiavor on the practice. Fox,
Sheridan, Pitt, Canning, Castlereagh.
and many other prominent men of
their day. fought duels. In 1879 the
Duke of Wellington fought Lord Win
chelsea. In 1880 Disraeli challenged
Morgan O'Connell, and in 1910 the
i's'ii vi Noi'iS"h i''5hp tlt'ii
Tucke.t.
The duel in America had not very
distinguished beginning: tho first one
having been fought in l62l. at Plym-
outh, between two serving men, who,
like many cttcr gentlemen, both sur
viycd; but only to be tied neck and
heels togethc for twenty-four hours.
I;ut Notwithstanding this imnobe be-
ginning of the custom and ending of
he first duel, and tie stringencv of the
laws in all the States, the custom grew
until it drew into its record the names
of many of our most distinguished
public men. Even during the Revolu-
lion Charles Lee and John Laurens
found time to fight a duel. and in LIS
Cadwalader sent a ball into Conwav's
head, happily without any fatal re-
suit. Button Gwinnet, one ofthc 81 i"n-
crS of the Declaration of Indepcnd-
cncc, was killed by General Mcintosh
in Il duel III. In the year lS6t Burr
killed Hamilton. Then Barren killed
Decatur. Henry Clay and John Ran
tlolph met in lS26. General jackson
killed Charles Dickinson, and was
"out" several other times. Thomas
II. Benton killed Mr.. Lucas, fought
others, and WAS supposed to be ready
10 fight anybody. In ls}S the celc
hratcd duel between Mr.. Graves. of
Kentucky, and Mr. Cilley, of Maine.
both members of Congress, occurred.

The October Elections


From the best estimate that could be made
last night the Indiana legislature will stand As
follows: Senators holding over-RePublicaus,
10; democrats, s. Elected-R Republicans, 3,
democrats, u; independents, 81 doubtful, 8 In
the house-Democrats, 81; republicans, 40; in
dependents, g.
Later official returns change the result given
previously in the lat, 9th, 9Th and 7th congress
iona! districts. In the lst district b. o. Fuller.
democrat, is elected over Heilman by about 400
majority. In the 9th district Morgan G, Hunter,
Republican, is reelected by 1913 majority. In the
Tth district T. j. Casson, republican, aud the
present member, has 361 majority, with one pre-
cinct from Lafayette county to hear from
which will increase his majority. In the n
(I1disnspOlis) district Frank Lsnders, demo-
trat, has majority of 555. The deleg alton will
stand eight democrats to five repuDlicans-a
democratic gain of five members.
Tie Cfiicial vote III twenty-sayen counties
give the democrats a net gain on the state ticket
as compared with the vote for governor in 1872
Of 753. The majority in the state will reach
15.0CO.
At democratic headquarters in Columbus up
to II O'Clock last night Off cisI and unofficial re
turns had been received from 7s counties,
which show a net democratic gain over last
year OF l. ,0l2. This leaves 10 counties yet 10
hear from. Granting these counties have given
the same majOrities as last year, the demoCratlc
majority in the state will be about 1900. 1t Il
thought, however, that the Official returns will
swell the majority 10 20 900.
In the thirteen Congressional districts which
have gone democratic the NJ siority is about
3i.CO0. divided follows: list district, $500, 2l
1900; Sd, 500; 4th, 600; 5tb, 5OgO 9th, 900; 7th

AUGUSTA, GA, October I6.-Hon. A. n
stephens addressed the citizens Of Augusta last
night He spoke for about two hours and g
half. He reviewed the history Of the govern
ment from the foundation TO the present time
showing that the struggle has always been be
tween centrahsm and constitut alism. The
passage Of the civil rights bill would work gres'
evil and destroy the public school system OF ths
south. He referred to President Grant: he
weuld do him justice. He had done his dutv
AS to third term he had no objection to tbs'
per Sc. He saw no reason why President who
executed the laws faithfully should not
elected for third term if the people desired II
de had looked into the Louisiana question anu
saw no sense in abusing President Grant for his
action in that affair. He poke hopefully of the
future of the republic, ard advised his hesrers
10 obey the laws and suppress ls~lessness, and
be true TO the Constitution and Union as es,ab-
nsh by thef tatLers. He proclaimed himself a
JenerhoDian democrat, and had great faith in
The triumph of those principles. Mr.. Stephens
1ad an immense audience, and spoke with
clearness AID vigor, exhibiting no signs Of
Neariness.
