The nlay-Bennett Duel,

A statement which seems to be author
itative is current now in society circles
as to the true proceedings In the May
Bennett duel. 1t is asserted that when
the seconds asked the principals If they
were ready, Mr.. May twice replied that
he was not; that after the second asking
the snap of pistol was heard THAT Mr..
Mays second thereupon advanced in
front of Mr.. Bennett and asked If it
was his pistol which had been snapped ;
that Mr. Bennett exhibited his weapon
in proof that such was not the case ;
that Mr.. May then spoke up and said
his pistol had accidentally snapped !; tina,
after this the seconds adjudged to Mr.
Bennett the right to fire, that Mr., Ben.
nett levelled his pistol, took aim and
then. suddenly throwing up his arm
fred in the air. Whereby the duel en-
ded with no blood shed.-N. r. World

Tffs Imp ortance Of tie DecIsion


Of the Commission to take evidence as
10 the ineligibiliiy Of Electors cannot be
overestimsted, as If the Democrats on
al other points should lose Florida and
Louisiana, they are strongly intrenched
as against their adyersaries in this re.
spect. In all OF the States which alone
can come before the Tribunal the Repub
licans have ineligible Electors. The
case OF Humphreys in Florida is the
weakest of the lot In Louisiana there
are two cases which cannot admit of
doubt One Elector named Brewster,
was the Surveyor General of the State
when voted for on the 7th of November,
which will appear Of record on the books
OF the Law OfIice in this city, unless, in
deed, Zach Chandler repeats the process
Wells took to straighten out Vernon
Parish. The other E'ector, Lcvissee,
was United States Commissioner when
voted for, and refused to resign when
| his disability was talked over after the
election in Kellogg's Office, and only did
resign when he vas promised reappofnt.
ment There can be no controversy as
to the ineligibility Of Watts, in Oregon.

the latter acted uader the authority OF
an act of the Confederate Congress, pro-
