THE DUELS.

Mobile and New Orleans, have
each bred a duel in high life, as a
special amusement for the holidays.
Two Mobile insurance men, Mr..
Tardy, ard DR.. Lay, differ, and re-
sort to the newspapers. DIR.
Lay slaps Tardy, and Tardy chal-
lenges Lay. They mectacross the
Miss. line, and at noon the fatal
word is given, and Tardy falls at
the first fire, shot through the
heart. Lay is said TO be an educa-
tel duclist, and has long desired to
distinguish himself as such. Yet
when the deed was done, he burst
into tears.
In New Orleans, Ex-Gov. War
moth has killed his man. 1t will
be remembered that Warmoth,
while Governor, was as cruel,
mean, and desperate radical, as
ever tlcd the faircst city of the
South. For some time however, he
has acted with the democracy. Mr..
Jewell, the Editor of the BU1LE-
TIN has been very severe on War
moth, of late, charging that he
had by his radical and brutal course
ruined the city, and alnassed i'm
mensc wealth, and then turned
democrat to acquire fellowship and
rank with gentleman. To this,
Warmoih replied, charging Jewell
with corruption, in order 10 get
$4,000 in pubic printing, and
stating thai if he (Waymoth) had
sought elevation in good society, he
had not at any rate, sought that Of
Jewell and his associates. Mr.. jewell
callengcd and Warmoth accepted,
While preparations for the duel
were progressing, Mr.. Byerly, tho
manager of the BULLETIN, met
WarInoth on the street, and assault
ted.him. The contestants closed
and in the struggle, Warmotl
stabbed Byerly, five times, and BY.
erly died, and his remains were
borne in great state, at the head o
10000 people 10 the cemetery
Wsrmoth was jagged, and at hi
examination, was OF course acquit-
ted and discharged. 1t is said tina
either of the five stabs- would have
proven fatal by itself. This it i
affirmed, has ended the dual be-
tween Warmoth and Jewell.
The event is chiefly of impor-
lance in its demonstration of tn
feeling of desperation to which III
public wrongs of these carpet bag.
gers have driven the best peopl
of that great city. The bloate
tyrant conld be patient, bnt the I'll
ined native was wild.

OUR TOWN FINANCES.
Mr.. BursOl VS.. The Town COun-
ell.

We give space for Mr.. Burson's Sc
cond Indictment against the Town
Council, because we are willing that
anything that body does shall be at
any time placed under the strong light
Of scrutiny. There are none of its acts
which need he hidden and there have
been none which we are not ready to
discuss. In this case we confess that
Mr.. BursOn appears 10 Us to be merely
a fault finder from habit and dissat-
isfied party because his views ard
plans have not been consulted.
He studiously and, it appears to us,
uncandidly takes the first issue of the
News that was printed after the land
sale of July 6, 1871, and charges the
council with the whole amount of that
sale when he well knows that large
number of the lots were never settled
for, and are yet Oh hand. This does
him injustice for it looks insincere.
We Intentionally omitted in our last
to take any notice of those lots which
the council has since sold privately,
because the sum realized from them
has been more than offset by other
transactions and by large expenditures
which were proper and unavoidable.
These private sales are, all or princi-

At least we hope y on have data enough
to digest for at least a week, bat we
must ask few questions of you, for

and just with your interest and to you.

A Puzzled Dutchman

a Wisconsin paper has the following
good story: One that does no, believe
in immersion for baptism. was holding
n protracted meeting. and preached ON
the subject of baptism. In the course
Of his remarks he said. some believe il
necessary TO 90 down into tho water.
and come up out Of it. TO be baptised.-
But this nc claimed 90 be n falacy. for
the proposition into Of the Scriptures.
should be rendered differently. for it
does not mean into at all times. Mo
ses, he said, I'VE are told. went mp into
the mountain and the Saviour was taken
mp into high mountain &C. Now we
do not suppose that either of them went
into n mountain. but unto IT,. So with
going down into tho water il means
going down close by or near TO tho VIZ.
ter, and being baptiscd IN the ordinary
way by sprinkling or pouring.'
lie carried his idea ont fully. and I'm
due season and style closed his dis
codrse, when an invitation was given for
any one 50 disposed TO arise and ex-
press his thoughts Quite n number Of
his brethren arose and said they were
glad they had been present on this Oc-
casion they were well pleased with the
sound sermon they had heard. and felt
their souls greatly blessed. Finally n
corpulent gentleman Of Teutonic ev.
traction, a stranger TO all. arose and
