Accepting Challenges Personal COur-

The time when II was regarded as neces-
sary TO accept challenge in order to avoid
the reputation Of being coward has long
since passed away. Many man who would
look upon fighting n duel as silly and crimi-
nal, would not be found wanting in courage
If attacked. A man may well have consci-
entious scruples about lighting duel, but
none whatever about defending himself.
This is the position assumed many years
ago in Kentucky by GEORGE ID. Prentice,

against the practice OF duellingi but when

In the SrANLEY-IIAZEN cOurt-martial yes
terday. the Judge Advocate made n strong effort
to Introduce additional testimony bearing on
Gen. HAzENs conduct at the battle Of Shiloh.
but with only partial success. After an animated
debate between the Judge Advocate and Gen.
MCMAHON upon the admission OF such evidence
the Court. through Gen. HANCOCK. ruled that no
testimony should be admitted in rebuital unless
il directly contradicted or explained away the
allegation OF the defence. viz. that Gen. HAzrN
was at Piusburg Landing. several miles from
the scene Of action. when he should have been
with his brigade. This ruling is expected to
materially hasten the trial. which has now
dragged over some three weeks.
The Judge Advocate has expressly admitted
the presence Of Gen. TAzEN at the Landing dur
ing a portion OF the second days fight. He has
not as yet. however. put Gen. HAzEN on the
stand to explain how he came to be there.

A crazy fellow, COL Hooker by name. a
brother-in-law Of the late notorious James Fisk
of New York, has conceived the remarkable
idea, apropos OF the emigration OF negroes
from the South into Kansas, of converting New
York, Indiana, and all the other doubtful
States, into certainties for the Republicans,
by directing the course Of negro emigration
In these States, the negroes. according to his
reasoning, being necessarily Radical A
small sum Of money contributed to this end
will, he thinks. secure the Republicans the
control Of the Union for years.
Some reporter who happened to interview
Ben Butter the other day questioned him on
this subject. Ben viewed the matter In a
very sensible light. The movement OF ne
groes North would, he said, undoubtedly az
feet tho politics Of the Northern States. No
class of men hate the negroes more than the
white workingmen Of the North, he contin-
ued, and but small sprinkling Of colored
laborers to compete with them, would make
every laboring man Democrat. Indeed,
Kansas itself may be expected to join the
Democratic ranks at any day If this negro
immigration movement keeps up much
longer.

The people of Louisiana have been taxed
almost out OF existence, and when they cannot
stand the demands Of the collector any longer
a great cry arises that they propose to de-
stroy ''sacred contract" to wit: the bonded
debt. This is untrue What they do propose
is that they shall no longer be compelled to
pay what they do not honestly owe. For this
reason they will insist, through their dele
gates to the constitutional convention, upon
thoroughly sitting the debt. This done, they
will then insist upon scaling the remainder Of
the debt In some proportion to the deprecia-
tion Of all other classes OF property and fixing
q rate OF interest upon the debt thus ascer-
tanned and compromised within their ability
to pay. No sort OF adjustment which looks to
o higher rate Of taxation for all purposes than
5A mills will meet with the approval OF
those who have to bear the burdens OF gov
ernment-the mercantile and Industrial
classes and the real estate owners. The
bondholders would do well to recognize this
fact at once and prepare to meet the conven-
ton in spirit OF concession and an apprecia-
ton of the actual condition Of the people.

A very important announcement Is made
by the New York Graphic, that is, from the
Radical stand point. It is stated that Grant
positively declines to be candidate for the
Presidency In 1880. This determination, If
the ex-President Is correctly reported. will
materially change the complexion Of affairs
10 the Republican camp. The Grant canvass
has been pushed SO energetically and his
name everywhere met with such favor among
the stalwart Republicans, that his nominal
ton was regarded as q foregone conclusion.
Ia TACT, there was no recognized opposition
~ him, Conkling, Blaine, Washburne and
other aspirants eheerfully giving in their ad-
nesion to the Grant movement. After the

Such course would In all probability result
In war, as the Khedive has q strong army and
navy, and would not hesitate to use both Tor
the retention Of his throne What the bond
holders would secure by war which must
exhaust Egypts resources, 1t Is difficult to
conceive. The financial policy Of the present
ministry Ia popular, and 1t is probable that
the support OF the country will render the
Khedive yet more indisposed to concede to the
demands of the bondholders. IL Is by no
means certain that the Sultan will proceed to
extremeties In the matter, or that such a
course would be urged by England and
France. The agitation, therefore, ID not
calculated to do the creditors OF Egypt any
substantial good.

THE SITUATION IN EGYPT.

The debt Of Egypt, the real cause OF the
coup d'etat OF the Khedive In ousting his for
eign ministers, selected for him by England
aud France, Is a nice example Of what State
with credit can do in the way OF borrowing.
The debt Of Egypt Is G10O,245,928 or about
$3.50, 000, 900 to a populationo Of wretchedly poor
peasants about seven times as numerous as
the population of this State. That is were
our State debt on par with that Of Egypt,
it would exceed SO, 100000. The interest and
sinking fund on this immense debt Is no less
of all the receipts of the government. The re-
suit Is an annual deficit Of about Sic, 900 900.
A few months ago the Khedive announced
himself bankrupt and called on England and
France to lend him two fnanciers who could
regulate and set right his finances. Messrs.
Rivers Wilson and DeBlesnieres were COM
missioned by these two countries for that
purpose. Among the first things demanded
by them was that the Khedive's own private
fortune should be handed over for the benefit
Of the creditors of Egypt. The Khedive con-
sented at first but, upon more mature consid-
GRAFTON. changed his mind, ousted his new
found advisors and set up a new ministry.
According to the latest reports, the situa-
ton Of affairs remain critical. The Khedive's
creditors have brought such a pressure to
bear upon the Sultan, through the govern
ments of England and France, that 1t Is
believed that potentate will resort to the
extraordinary measure Of deposing the
Egyptian ruler aud appointing successor.
