a Duel 20 the Death. !,

The New Orleans Democrat has
an article on, a Louisiana veteran,
General John L. Lewis, and gives 4
number 0fincidents IN his oareer.EIt
describes duel in New Orleans,
which took place about thirty years
ago, which General Lewis ohieiated
as second. The principals were Mr..
Hueston, editor oflhe Baton Rouge
Gazette, and Mr.. La Branche, a can
didate for Congress. The duel ORR
ginated i'll en- ,alIusion made to the
latter gentleman by tho former in an
editorial. An encounter between the
two took place in a New Orleans
hotel. Mr.-Hueston was beaten and
a" challenge n followed Mr.. Tia
Branches friendspwere Gen. John L..
Lewis and JOS. Genois. The weap-
ons selected were double barrelied
sbosguus, both barrels loaded with
ball. Promptly the parties came to
time at the Oaks al. break Of day. A
crowd OF spectators had been attract
ed to the scene. In conseq uence Of
this interrnPtion and the 'rulnored
approach of the police, the parties
changed TIE ground to, q more rer
mote locality. They could not elude
the intruders, of whom nearly two
hundred eachedIthespOt, selected.-
The seconds proceeded rapidly with
their arrangements. The ground, was

shotguns, loaded with ball. General
Lewis loaded Mr. La Branches gun,
and sCol. Hagan MFR. Hueston's. The
word was given by Colonel McArd!e.
Both, parties were Cool and deter
mined 1t was observable, however,
that SMr. Hueston't " 'still bore marks

II was obvious to the seconds and the
spectators that Mr. La Branche had
the advantage of greater quickness
and skill in handling his weapon.-
The seconds of Mr.. La Branche ap-
preached those of Mr.. Huoston with
the uspal inquiry whether their prime

his head with great positiveness, and
requested them to load up. A Sec

Notwithstanding the heavy showers Of
Wednesday afternoon, the Unitarian ladies
were favored with propitious evening for
their fair, and the occasion proved every way
successful The supper was such as TO amply
maintain the reputation Of the ladies on this
point, anl tho tables were well patronized
throughout the evening The display Of fan
cy articles. although not so large as on some
previous occasions, was fine, and the patron
age was all that could be desired. The hall
was never more tastcfully decorated, and we
think we shall do the ladies q favor if we
mention that the complete success Of all the
arrangements was largely due to the untiring
efforts Of Mr.. Fred Franks. The side show
would have been more than attractive had its

Some of JET Davs's friends have an idea
of trotting him ont as a candidate for the
United States senatorship when Senator
Bru5es term expires in 1881. His recent
speech was for the purpose of rekindling the
smouldering embers of rebellion in Missis-
sippi and keeping alive the interest in the
lost cause aud its leader.
The Ohio State Journal says that 1--WE haz-
ard nothing in saying that not for years has
the outlook been more encouraging thus early
in the campaign than it is now. The fore
taste Of what may be expected, from Demo-
cratic rule, which has been given to the coun-
try during the past year, has most efectually
aroused the thinking people of the State and
Nation to the danger with which they are
threatened, and the spirit of determination to
| which we have alluded augurs well for full
Republican vote in October, and this, ofcourse,
means Republican victory"

about the resumption act, but it was declared
that the congressional joint resolution for the
payment of United States bonds in gold was
"an act Of fragrant injustice" which should
be Immediately rescind,d and that issuing
