i Short Long Story.

Bennett, the New York Herald pro.
prietor, was afanced to Miss May
They were to have been married
Bennett got OF several successive
DRINKS which brought about family TN,
pleasantness. Miss Mays big brother
struck Bennett several times with g
cowhide, On one Of the streets ofGotham
Bennett challenged May to DUEL
They meet in q corner Of Delaware
Three shots were exchanged. Nobody
hurt says madam r,linor, though other
reports represent May as wounded
The parties have. so far eluded arrest.
The duel has been the subject Of much
comment. The laws Of New York
make fighting in the state. or leaving
the state to fight, a felony punishable
by Imprisonment il the penitentiary
To evade the law, Bennett and party
are reported as having sailed for Europe
As that continents not supposed to be
large enough for him and May it is
possable the latter has gone to South
America.
In this connection we may as well
give an item of news concerning the
duello in Virginia. Our legislature
spent most OF last week. in discussing
general amnesty to those who have
challenged or been challenged in oui
state. There were lengthy speeches
pro and con, the result of which
with other and kindred legislation. vii
be an extended session to transact state
business. Having shifted from dog tax
and whisky to pardoning those the law
punished for its violation or attempted
violation, we are not without hope that
the public debt may be touched upon il
the committee On Federal Relations
can be subdued for while longer.
We do not believe in wholesale cen.
sure Of legislative bodies, but this
general assembly IS piling its dolessness
a little too high to be gazed upon with
admiration.
Let the duelist alone, say the people.
None but towards challenge when the
law inhibits by penalty. The law Of
self defence is sufficiently defined for
protection against assault upon person
or character, and the man who cannot
take care of himself without the "code"
is now far beyond the reach of public
contempt.

The night train Oh the Virginia
Midland railroad encountered a broken
rail near Manassas, which threw the
sleeper from Boston to Danville and
the sleeper from Washington to New
Orleans from the track. All of the
wounded have comparatively slight in
juries except Mr.. Lyle, Of Pennsylvania,
and the negro porter, the former of
whom being over seventy years of age,
may not recover. The Instructions
have been removed and trains are now
running on schedule time.

WARRINGTON, January l3, 1877.
Republicans here are awakening TO the
fact that a portion Of the Democracy is
preparing to introduce the came element
of intimidation into the determination of
the presidential issue here next month that
has thus far been used sgsinst Governor
Packard.
This mornings Naton states that within
the past few days the gun stores Of this
city have done thriving trade in the sale
of fire arms, having sold their entire accu-
mutation of rifles, revolvers and shotgnns.
The Nation, says, moreover, that it is ru-
mored that the 10000 peaceful visitors, 60
called, will bring concealed weapons to in
timidate the Senate and prevent the count
of the electoral vote.
The people throughout the New England
States, hO Eever, evince determination TO
preserve the constitution and laws and the
right of suffrage in its integrity for all men.
The disposition to enforce the DEGREES Of
the popular will, it says, is more strongly
expressed than ever before.
The recognition of Governor Packard Ia
regarded here as only a question of time.
This mornings Democratic organ virtually
comedies it. d. ID. c.
