FOR THE PENIrENrIARY.

1t now looks as if the Hon. EPPA IIUN-
TON, who is urging himself upon the people
of his district for reelection to Congress,
has at the same time, rendered himself to
the law as u candidate for the pcnitentiary,
and it remains TO he seen which election
shall take precedence. The case is
not only II palpaLlc, hut hagraut one. In
the heat OF IN imperiOus temper, and under
the inspiration of a barbaric code which
civilization utterly repudiatcs and the law
bitterly condemns and threatens with con-
dign pushishmcnt, Mr.. HUTTON has over
stepped the bounds of law and propriety in
rendering n challenge to COLUMBUs ALEX
AMBER, who had offered him the oflrnse OF
a criticism of his official action, to render
him the satisfaction provided for in the code
d0eiio, and then in posting and publicly de-
nouncing him as coward for declining the
rendered opportunity to kill or be killed
In this performance Mr.. HUSToN has come
in collision with the following statute OF
this District to suppress duelling:
If anybody shall post or publish, or cause tC
he posted or published, auy writing charging
any such person so declining or refusing to ac.
ccpt any such challenge to be a coward, or us,
ing any other opprobious or injurious Language
therein tending to disgrace or degrade such
person 50 declining or refusing such challenge
every person so offending, on conviction, shall
bG punished by confinement to hard labor IN
the pcnitoutiary for a term not exceeding three
years.
The law is explicit and the breach of il
fragrant; and it now remains to he seer
whether the ministers of the law will lei
this opportunity go by of making an ex
ample in the way Of its vindication. We
have no sympathy with either party in
volved in this quarrel, aud have no persona
objection to their carrying their feud to thu
arena of the Kilkenny cats if they can dc
50 without a violation of law; but wher

KEY, STEPHENS, and MILLS are, no doubt,
representatives of the more loyal class of
the Southern element, and may be honestly
endeavoring to bring about an era of gcnu-
inc peace and good will; yet these gentle
men are in n fearful minority, and Mr.. STE
PHESs is little given to carrying water on
both shoulders. What they do, or what
they propose to do, is Of no concern to the
frc-catcrs. Embracing almost the entire
white population Of the Southern States, the
unrepentant rebels place every obstacle in
the way of reconciliation, and the constitu-
tional amendments are treated rs dead
letter. The "conciliatoryn policy has not
been a success, but, on the contrary, has en-
gondcred more sectional luminosity than
ever during President GRANTS administra-
tion. We live and learn, and ii may be that

been instructed to interfere in the matter Of

the protection of the officers of the General

THE FTTZ-JOHN PORTER inquiry has not
been concluded yet, however much his
friends and fellOw-partisans may claim that
the adjournment of the court until the 10th
of September practically settles it. The
truth is the interim before the court rcas-
sembles will afford needed opportunity to
prepare testimony to Offset the shrewd conf
binations and devious intrigucs which PoR-
TER has effected during the fifteen years
that have passed since he was cashiered. In
these efforts he has been inspired by two
motives: First his vindication as an officer
and consequent rehabilitation as u citizen,
and, second, the back-pay, amounting to
thousands of dollars which would follow
inevitably from his reinstatement in the
army. With these incentives and aided by
the sympathy of partisan friends, North and
South he has been able to make out very
strong case in his own behalf, and it must
be acknowledged that the best side and the
strongest points Of that case have been
given. But the proof against him and in
support of the findings Of the cOurt-martial
before which he was tried in 1868, will in
time be presented strong enough to over
come his special pleading and carefully ar
ranged combinations of Confederate and
Union testimony.
