A duel took place in Naples lately between
Signor di Rombello, a gentleman well known
in Roman society, and cavalry lieutenant
named Raspantini. The officers who arranged
the preiminaries decided that the duel must
be fought with pistols. that the duelists must
aim at the breast, and that on no account
should either of them be permitted to fire his
pistol in the air The duel took place about 5
o'clock in the morning, in the churchyard at
Ariengo At the first signal Signor di Rom
bello received bullet in the heart, and died
instantaneously. Raspantini crossed over to
Ischia to present himself to his colonel

CONVENTION OF NEGROES AND OAR.
PET-BAGGERS.

The telegraph informs us that Convention
is now in session at Chattanooga, composed o
the principal leaders of the negroes and car
pet-baggers in the Southern States. Tn
representatives of Louisiana, j. r. West, P
B. 8. Pinchback, A. P. Field and A. B
Sloanaker.
An idea Of the moral character of this Con
vention can be formed from the well-know1
reputation of the delegates from this State
Ab uno disco omnes.
| II, then, this Convention is corr posed Of such
men as we have mentioned, then indeed is il
"the most memorable gathering of gracelesl
scoundrels known to ancient or modern his.
tory" Imagine such saints as Davis, Of Texas
Parsons, of Alabama; Brooks. Of Arkansas, and
Sloanaker, Of Louisiana nominally, but in
reality a peripatetic wanderer and SPY for the
Federal Government, bemoaning over the
frghtful condition of affairs in the South, and
concocting some plans for building up the de-
Ginning fortunes of the Radical party.
The horrible picture drawn by Parsons OF
the decentralization of society, the lawlessness
of the people, and the fnghtful martyrdom
suffered by the few faithful Radicals in the
South, is narrowing to the very soul
From the bottom of our heart we pity these
pilgrims, and we trust they will find in Gilead
that balm which will soothe their woes and
bring peace to their sorrowing souls.
A communion Of kindred spirits pouring
out their griefs and bewailing over their po-
litical wrongs, and seeking from each other
sympathy as well as counsel and advice in the
labor of love in which all true disciples of the
Republican church are supposed to be
engaged, presents sublime spec
tacle just at this critical period of the history
Of the country.
When Pinchback recounts the ingratitude
Of his party, the treachery Of the very leaders
whom he elevated to power, and his unjust
rejection oy the United States, he will doubt
less bring tears to the eyes of the faithful,
who will raise their hands in wonder and give
vent to their indignation in terms probably
more forcible than polite. Davis will tell how
he was kicked out of the Executive chair of
Texas; Sloanaker will sing his song of expal-
ZION from Philadelphia, and Brooks will talk
bout his Little Rock raid upon the govern
nent of Arkansas Then the convention will
Idjourn; all will be serene and happy, and the
afety of the country will have been secured.
If this gathering is designed to promote the
interests Of the Republican party, well and
,ood Let it be so. We have no objection.
But we protest against the press agent boring
IS with the particulars of such disgusting
ssemblage, the details of which are more re-
ulsive than those of the Beecher- Tilton
candal Let us have no more of such trash,
s we can find better use for the space in our
Olumns.

THE USURPER AND SOCIAL
EQUALITY.

The bad faith of the usurper and his carpet
bag followers has been and is strongly mani
tested towards their colored brethren in regard
to social equality. ..".....
They declaim about social equality, but
they never practice it. The usurper has be-
come rich since his advent to Louisiana, by
means of the power he has enjoyed through
the favor of the colored voters of the State
The Office that he now holds is one that affords
abundant opportunities Of practicing liberal
hospitality-a polite and agreeable entertain
ment of his friends and distinguished stran-
gers.
Now we ask emphatically, who ever heard
of his giving large routs and balls and soirees
and inviting to them the well bred and intel
ligent colored gentlemen of his party and
their honorable and accomplished wives and
daughters? Who ever heard him
averse by disposition and the habits of his
Life, before he settled in this land of chivalry
and reinement-who ever heard of his receiv-
ing his political confreres and their families
in the sweet intercourse of private life? The
true answer to these questions lays bare the
hypocrisy of the false professor of social
equality. and what is proved against the
leader will stand true also of his followers

directly from Fort Rice, in Dakota Territory,
where they had just gone into winter quar-.
ters when they received orders to come down
here to help Mr.. Kellogg keep the acquiescent
people of New Orleans and Louisiana in order,
% that he might pursue his usurpatorial and
diabolical schemes without being affrighted
by visions of Belgian muskets or unpleasant
looking hemp nooses in the hands of an in
significant minority of his subjects.

The Arkansas Supreme Court at
Washington.

TO show what Attorney General viii
Jams thinks of the Courts of Arkansas,
which 50 much stress is laid upon by Mr..
Brooks advocates, we copy the closing
Of his report of the Brooks VS.. Baxter
case, to the President, upon which he
issued his proclamation in favor of Gov.
Baxter He says:
have received telegraphic copy Of
what purports to be the decision of the
Supreme Court of Arkansas delivered on
7th inst, from which it appears that the
auditor of the state upon requlsition Of
Brooks drew his warrant on the treasurer
for the sum OF 81 600, payment of which
was refused. Brooks then applied to the
Supreme court for writ of mandamus
upon the treasurer, who set up by way of
defence that Brooks was not Governor
of the State, to which Brooks demurred.
ITO show the value of this decision it
it is proper that should make the follow
inc statement. On the s0th Of April,
Brooks made formal application to the
President for aid to suppress domestic
violence, which was accompanied by a
paper signed by chief justice Mcclure and
Justices Searlc and Stephenson, in which
they stated that they recognized Brooks
as governor, and to this paper also, is ap
pended the name of Page, the respend,
ent in the above named proceeding for
mandamus. Mr.. Page. therefore did not
refuse to pay the warrant of the auditor
because he did not recognize Brooks as
governor, but the object of his refusal
evidently was to dreate such facts as were
necessary to make case for the supreme
court. Accordingly pleadings were made
up by parties both of whom were on the
same side in the controversy, and the is.
sue SO made was submitted to the Judges
virtually pledged TO give the decision
wanted, and there within the military en-.
campment of Brooks they hurried, but
with deicacy, as they say. decided that
he is governor, a decision in plain con
travention Of the constitution and laws
Of the state aud in direct conflict with two
other recent declarations of the same
court, deliberately made
] refrain from comment More than
once the supreme court of the United
States has decided that il would not hear
argument in case made up in this way
and decision obtained under such cir
cumstances is no. recognized as authority
by any respectable tribunal.

gave vent to their feelings by bonfires

The depression, pictured on the coun-

THE SITUATION.

The situation at Little Rock, is very
much changed, for the better, since oul
last issue. President Grant, by precla'
nation, has recognized Gov. Baxter as
legal Executive of the State, aud warns
Mr.. Brooks and his force to lay down
their arms and go to their homes.
On application Of MIR. Brooks, arrange
ments were being made on Saturday, for
the transportation home of his troops by
Gov. Baxter, at the expense Of the State,
Gov. Baxter's triumph over Clayton,
Brooks 4 Co., is complete and thorough,
and we hop" it is but fore-t OF Ar
kansas final settlement with them.
The Legislature is in session, with a
quorum in both branches Gov. Baxter
in his message to them, recommends the
calling of a Constitutional Convention,
and a bill has already been introduced,
to that end. We hope the Legislature
will do their work quickly but thorough.
They owe it to their constituents to i'm
peach and suspend all the State officers
who have been in rebellion and arms
against the lawfully constituted State gov
ernment. They have been in concealed
rebellion to the head of the department
for long time, and the crisis has arrlv-
cal when forbcarance should cease to be
n virtue, and they he made to suffer for
their many misdeeds. Undoubtedly they
counted the cost before they attempted
the overthrow Of the State government
and they should suffer the full penalty Of
the crime, and as Genl Thomson would
say, "let justice be done them though
the Heavens fall.
