The Interior of tic current wcok, commenting
upon the relations Ut tho daily prcsa OF this city

reJofced that the Interior has discovered this
much. but VIC are, on the other hand, pained to

to his nocturnal vfsitations. After perforn1-
ing such remarkable tents Of affection as we
have described, II IL not wonderful that ho
should be found ut times in the open mhr-
ket offering hundred thousand dollars to
any ono who would 'take the girl OF his

In course Of time, Mr.. BEssE7r'a eccen-
tricfties lend 10 l,ia castigation nj tho hands
Of the indignant brother Of lis ntflnneet1 MP
on the public highway. In this afTair as in
all previoua Affairs the sham Is stripped OF
agsin. Mr. DrssEr7, having g,yen the world
to understand on several occasions that ho
WAS an athlete and m indulger In various
athletic sports, allows himself to DO punished,
lashcd over the face and hurled into snow
bank, without uttering even word Of pro-
lest. Thon comes tho duel, which appears
to be AZ much of sham ns NIL the rest,-so
much OF sham TINT no one yet can make
affidavit whore 1t was fought, who fought 1t,
which ono was bit, or whether any one WIS
lit. There is only one certainty nbont the
affair. II there Was duel and neither one
was bit, there probably were never before
two such delighted men M the combatanta
upon making the discovery. There is
pitiable side to this farce, however, md that
is the notoriety wllic|, tho young
Indy, who In every circumstance Of this
affair has boen Indy, has had TO sutfer
through tho ill-advised action Of A1r. Mar
and the outrageous conduct OF Mr.. BENNETT.
It would bo a fitting punishment for tue
parties 10 this duel it their ofeuse against
the public peace wero followed by thcir con-
iincment In the Penitentiary. Such pun
ishment would tend 10 vu1gasizo tlueling and
make cheap chivafry aud mock honora laugh-
ing.atock and bywort1, as they deserve to be.
Altar tile conduct Of Afr. BENNETT in tho
premises, there could bo no special hurt to
his honor, ant that he should assume there
WINS such is the biggest sham Of all In this
affair OF Rhoddy aud snobbory.
Since writing the above, tlispatcl, Inns
been received from Baltimore that A1Ar was
wounded In tho thigh, and that tho injury Is
no severe t1lat fatal result may ensue.
shouid such be the case, then hlr. BENNETT
il simply guilty Of murder, however the eodo
or the Inv may regard it, and in tho estima-
tion Of al! fair-mindcd people he will be re-
garded as murderer. It Is sincerely to bo
hoped, however, that tt.,ro ia no foundation
