been paying attentions since June last, and were
the best of friends up to few weeks ago, when
the young lady seemed to prefer the attentions
of one OF them, and it was rumored that she had
consented to confer her hand and heart upon
him. This led to difficulty between the dis
appointed lover and his rival. followed by a
challenge, and the parties and their friends left
Newtown on Friday morning and proceeded 10
the Cross Roads. After the preliminary arrange
ments were made, the young men took their po-
sitions, and at the dropping of handkerchief,

RETURN OF THE INVESTIGATING COMMITTEE.
Messrs. Foster,of Ohio, Phelps, OF New Jer-

of Congress who have been investigating affairs
in Louisiana, returned to Washington on Sat
urday night 1t Ia said they are agreed in con-
demning, as illegal and unwarranted, the action
Of the Returning Board and that the testimo-
ny taken by them does not sustain the charge
that colored voters were intimidated, but rather
shows that large numbers of negroes voted the
Conservative ticket, under belief that they
were thereby advancing their own interests and

THE SITUATION AT NEW ORLEANS.
At New Orleans on Saturday, Mayor Leeds sent
II message to the City Council calling attention to
General Sheridans despatch Of the 4th instant,
"by which the community had been illuminated"
and asking them to make an emphatic denial of
it. The Council adopted a resolution declaring
such charges unfounded in fact, and appealing
to the sense of justice of citizens of sister
States who have been among them ito stigma
tize as they deserved the unwarranted charges
and aspersions thus brought against them by
General Sheridan. Bishop Wilmer had
a long and stormy interview with
the General in the evening, on the
subject OF affairs in the State. They
could not agree IN their views. The Bishop ex.
plains that, in testifying before the Congress
sional Committee, that there WAS no security, he
meant no security in the courts against thefts,
