Now, it can not be denied that the local
questions at issue differ in a great meas
ure from the views of the national par
ties still the Republicans, asa whole, feel
that they are responsible for the change in
our domestic relations, and that unless
they support their party in the South the
principles enforced by the war might be
endangered.
On the other hand, the Northern Dem
ocrats begin to fear that the conduct Of
those claiming to be of their party in this
State may weaken their influence on the
public mind, and might jeopardize their
chance OF success in the presidential cleo
ton. Hence it appears to me that unless
the Democracy here wish to cut adrift en-
tirely from the national party, they must,
by temperate and judicious action, con-
cilia!e Northern favor.
Our first study, however, must be to
secure for our State all intelligent and
pure government, and trust to the great
and enlightened statesmen of our country
for protection and the support of honest
principles over corruption.
One OF our city papers in an editorial
commenting on Judge Rays speech OF last
week, said as follows:

and city, and partisan only so far as the

FRENCH DuEIs.

~ There are many reasons Why duels
'rrarely- end fatally. All the gun.
smiths keep pistols warranted not to
hit 4 barn door at ten PAGES. They
are grooved all sorts Of ways; they
are made 50 light that the least load
Of powder sends them to the skies !;
the trigger is made SO hard the hand
pulls the pistol higher than even the
skies the hammer is weighted and
has such powerful spring the bar
rel is knocked down. Moreover, the
seconds always take care to over
load, that the pistol, no matter how
carefully aimed, may bounce over
tho object. Lastly, but by NO means
'leastly; there is the emotion insepara-
BE from = maiden appearance in the
part Of target forau enemy's loaded
pistol. It is incredible how fast eye
lids will snap under these Il circum-
stances. -Stier;bner for February. .s~>e
