Anumber of leading Southern papers,
notable those of South Carolina, are pro-
nouncing positively against the code
duello and against murder committed
according to its enactment. The An-
gusta Chronicle, speaking on this sub
ject says: People are actually demand
ing that duelists shall be punished like
ordinary criminals. Governors and
solicitors and courts and jnries may
suddenly unite in bringing some dueli>t
mln-slayer and his seconds to the scat
fold, and in having him done to death
by vulgar hangman and a vulgar rope.
When this is done all the chsalry and
romance OF code will exhale, aud muir
der will no longer be considered one OF
the fine s.-IShrevep"rt Times.

There was a meeting OF the parish
committee of the Democratic party
held last Saturday, at which many can
didates were present for consultation.
They held what in modern parlaver is
termed executive session" which ex-
-cluded all outsiders including the repre-
sentatives of the press, consequently
we are unable to give any report of this
star chamber meeting. Representatives
of the Courier and DEMOCRAT were on
hand, but admittance was refused. We
think this attempt to conceal the pro-
ceedings of the committee from the
press of the party a little singular to
say the least.
