Treachery Of . Due list.

A melancholy action ie being 'ried in
Paris. 1t will be remembered that after
the recent duel at Longwy, which resulted
in the death of NJ. Olivier, one of the COM
batants, it was stated by the surgeon in at
tendance and the mayor of Longwy, that
considerable part Of the body of the de-
ceesed was protected by broad steel gir-
die, The surgeon added that the girdle in
question was unlike anything of the kind
with which he was acquainted; and, fur
ther, that NJ. Olivier suffered from no in
trinity which would account for the pres
ence Of such an article. The inference was
more derOgatOry to the memory of the
dead az NJ. Olivier WAS professional duel
ist, the encounter in which he lost his life
being the eighth in which he had appeared
as principal On the facts being pub
lished, the mother of the deceased laid
the blame upon NJ. Lafenilhrade, her
late sons antagonist, and sent Q letter to
several of the newspapers upbraiding him
with traducina the memory Of the man he
had slain. n. Lafenilhrade felt compelled
to, respond BY publishing letter which he
hid received month earlier from the two
seconds of n. Olivier, in which these gem
tlemen stated that they were forced to O0u-
fess, after the expose referred to, that their
principal had been guilty of treachery and
felony. On the publication of this letter
Madame Onvlef mas Oae0d an action for
defamation Of the character Of her son.
In the trial the advocate for the defendant
has expressed the sympathy of his client,
Mr.. Lafeniihrade, with the bereaved mother,
and has forborne insisting on the results OF
the inquiry made by the surgeon and the
mayor, c0ntenting himself with merely
pleading that the mother of the deceased has
no legal right TO bring such IN action. The
point 10 curious ONE in law, and the tri-
bunal has reserved its decision for week.

Mesers. Miller, Dolhonde & Co. announce,
by private circular, that the first of line
of steamers between New Orleans and Rio
Janeiro, touching st intermediate points,
will leave this port at the end Of July. This
line will prove of the greatest importance TO
New Orleans and the West. It is shorter
thar any other route, and will charge the
same rate to Rio as the New York and Bal
timore lines, but less rates to the inter-
mediate ports. To these ports ;he time will
be from six to ten days, against twenty
to forty-fve on the other lines. An op-
pcrtunity is offered to contradict tho i'm
preston that Western -four does not keep
sweet in South America after q voyage
The consumption Of flour, lard, hams, pork,
beef, etc.. in these ports, amounts annually
to $2O,O00,0O0. Grain in bulk will be
delivered from the barges on board the
steamers by floating elevators for one cent

In Plnchback,s Uranium Tender 2

Mr.. Pinchback, in his zeal to subserve the
interest of his especial friends, seems to
have allowed his Judgment to get the better
of his discretion. The position assumed by
Mr. Pinchba in his reputed remarks at
Cincinnati yesterday is altogether untena-
ble He declared that the c0l0red race had
not been Justly dealt with, and as pana-
cea for their troubles be announced his in
tentiOn to remain q passive spectator in the
approaching political conflict. Mr.. Pinch
back may a. we'll be taught the lesson now
that only - supporter of the general prin-
ciples of the Republican party can he hope
to retain his hold upon the colored popu-
lation of Louisiana. They will follow
his dictati0n when he is right, but it is rea-
sonably safe to assume that they will not
be guided by him whether right or wrong
It will require but . limited stretch Of the
imagination to convince Mr.. Pinchback
that his threatened disafection to the Re
publican party will not be more damaging
to the same than vas that of Greeley and
his colaborers in the campaign Of 1872.
Moreover, there are striking instances in
the South where cOl0red politicians of but
slight intellectual inferiority to Mr.. Pinch
back have ceased to be influential with
their race when they departed from the
principles of the party which did so much
for them. Conspicuous among this class il Mr..
canism seems to have vanished % bis purse
became full We scarcely think, however,
that in his reflective mood Mr.. Pinchback
will endeavor to disaffect his race from the
party which transformed them from hu
man chattles into citizens of the United
States. His efforts in such an attempt will
most assuredly prove abortivo. His fail.
ure to get the seat to which We thought
him entitled in the Senate was greatly de.
plored by rs. His manly bearing during
the irving ordeal excited our admiration,
and tho philosophy with which he accepted
his defeat led ~ to expect better things Of
him than are reported now from Cincinnati.

The Ticket.

The action of the Cincinnati convention
yesterday was something of surprise, but
it will command the approval Of large
majority of Republicans, and the ticket
will have the cordial support of the whole
party. Governor Hayes is man of whom
it is impossible to say a word of evil. Per-
sonally he is not only above reproach, but
above suspicion. There are 70 dark corners
in his history which need investigation or
have ever set the tongue of scandal
wagging. He has been a distinguished
soldier, an incorruptible Congressman, an
able and popular Governor. Outside of
Ohio he has been almost unknown until
very rec entity; but the high regard in which
he is held by his own people is the best
testimony to his private character. The
Tribune certainly, which supported him so
strenuously when he wac fighting his gal
liant fight for hard money against the Allen
and Cary madmen last year, can find no
fault with his nomination now. The Lib
erals and independent ref0rmers who lent
all their strength to his canvass in 1875 will
sustain him in the trials Of broader but
easier field. The reform element of the
party will feel that it's just demands have
been consulted in his nomination; and those
who believe in good money will see in his
name better pledge for speedy resump
ton than any resolutions of convention
cOOlQ give, anu III ample compensation IOE
the vaguenees of the platform.
Mr.. Wheeler, like Governor Hayes, is q
sound Republican from conviction, and not
from the love of Office. Like Governor
Hayes, also, he is thoroughly and con-
spicuously honest man. to whom investiga-
ton can bring no embarrassment, but only
brighter credit. While he is in full &C
cord with his party, he is remembered
with honor by the Independents for his ad
mirable conduct in the Louisiana investiga-
tion, and the dignified and temperate report
in which he rebuked the errors of the ad-
ministration in dealing with that rnfortu-
nate State. His name is the very strongest
that could have been chosen for effect upon
New York.
The combination, indeed, is one Of the
most formidable that have been suggested
on either side, and although it can not be
said that the course is entirely clear, while
the Democracy have-Jet to be heard from,
it seems almost certain that Hayes and
Wheeler are to be the officers inaugurated
next March.-:Ne,c York Tribune.
