The Story Of a Dnel.
New Orleans Picayune

New Orleans Picayune
In connection with the recent arrest of
Count de Vesys in Belgium for murder,
Paris correspondent tells this story of the
duel out of which the charge arose:
The Marquis de Ia Rochejaquelin recent
ly gave an evening party at Rheinford, to
which he invited all his acquaintances.
The dance ended and supper was served.
Guest after guest told anecdote. When it
came to the turn of Baron de Vanloo he
told Al accident that had happened to him
in C0nssantinople in 1877, and whose hero
wss tha famous, or notorious. Geyza de
sonsoskeoy, alias Count de Veysy. When
he lad iinished his story guest abruptly
raRaae and aslad hinn in an insolent tone !:
edo you personally know Geysa de So
moskeoy ?''
Baron Vanloo replied " Indeed, do. |
have good reason to remember him. He
stole $4,000 from me-"
You are liar am the person of
whom you speak, and you never have had
the honor of my acquaintance"
AS he ended he threw the contents of a
glass brimming with champagne into Bar
on de Vanloo's face. Baron de VanIoo
ran toward him, but the two furious ad-
versaries were separated. A duel was set
tied for the following morning. They
fought with swords. Count de Veysy was
at the outset severely wounded above the
shoulder and bled profusely. His sword
was covered with blood and even his adver-
sary's face received some drops of it.
Baron de Vanloo's second proposed the du-
el should end. Count de Veysy would
hear no such thing. Count de Veysy by
feint foiled the parry Of his adversary and
plunged his sword into Baron de Vanloo's
abdomen. The latter fell mortally wound
ed and has since died.

CENSUS PREPARATION.
SUPERINTENDENT WALKERS DISTRIBUTION
OF THE SUPERVISORS. ETC.

Gen. Walker, the Superintendent of the
census, expects to complete the organiza-
ton of the Supervisors districts in the diff
ferent States next week. But the selection
of those to fill these Offices will not be made
until after the assembly of Congress. The
number of applicants is so great that he
expects no difficulty in securing competent
persons. The distribution of the $50 Su-
pervisors authorized has been SO revised
that the superintendent feels equal oonsid-

distribution now stands as follows

Rhode Island, Vermont, the Territories and
the District of Columbia, one each. The
Superintendent is in receipt of information
from the special agents sent by him to the
different Territories to collect information
with view to the compilation of special
report respecting the greater industries
which Mr.. Walker says will constitute
valuable contribution to the statistical and
technical value of the census of 1880. 1t
has been decided not to allow more than
one Supervisor to each of the large cities.
Therefore New York, Philadelphia, Boston,
st. Louis and other cities of that class will
have but one. The enumerators will be
designated by the Supervisors, under in
structions from the superintendent, and
range according to the various constituents
of the population and the nature CT the
principal industries, the limits being fixed
at one enumerator to from 1000 to 1900
inhabitants. The Supervisors districts
will range in population from 100000 to
SOC, 600 according to extent of territory, the
compactness or sparseness of settlement or
other influencing causes. = Philadelphia

A Diplomatic Answer.

The old man Smith, of Richfield, is a
self-suficient sort of a fellow, and prides
himself upon his riding abilities. One day
he espied his young hopeful leading a colt
to water rather gingerly, and remarked:
Why on earth don't you ride that
beast ?"
"Pm 'fraid to; 'fraid he'll throw me"
" Bring that hoss here" snapped the old
man.
The colt was urged up to the fence and
braced on one side by the boy, while the
old man climbed on to the rails aud seated
himself on the colts back. Then he was
let 60 and the old man rode off. Paralyzed
by fear the colt walked slowly about twen-
ty rods without a demonstration. Then like
lightning his four legs punched together,
his back bowed up like yiaduct arch and
the old man shot into the air, turned seven
separate and distinct somersaults and lit
on the small of his back in the middle of
the road with both legs twisted about his
neck. fastening TO him the young hope
full anxiously inquired !:
"Dld it hurt you, pas''
The old man rose slowly, shook out the
knots in his legs, brushed the dust from
his ears and hairs, and. rubbing his bruised
elbows, growled
:. Well, it didn't do me dunn bit of

SOUTHERN DISSATISFACTION.
The Northern congressman Held Re.
spOnsble for the Present Crisis
U---A Formal Request to
Direct Affairs.
washIngton speolal 10 N. y. Tlme.. ]

Washington Special to N. Y. Times.
For some time past there has been
much dissatisfaction manifested among
the Southern Democrats in congress
in relation to the tenor and temper of
the discussion upon the political rid
ers to the appropriation bill Many
of them have freely declared that the
present position of the party upon the
question under discussion was occa-
stoned by the Northern wing of the
party, and that, so far as the South
is concerned, all that was demand
ed was the repeal of the Jurors
test oath, to which there is little
objection, while the Northern Dem
ocrats insisted that the Federal
election laws and the law authorizing
the use of troops at the polls should
also be repealed Upon these last two
propositions only is the contest made.
THE Southern men claim that they
care nothing for them, and yet they
say that they and their section have
to suffer all the odium that attaches
to the present Democratic plan, while
they are merely acting as aids to the
Northern Democratic leaders, who
are mainly responsible, -.f
The outconle of this feeling is a
move on the part Of The Southern
Democrats to force their Northern
allies to come to the front and accept
the responsibility for the present and
future attitude of the party upon these
questions. TO that end a letter has
been prepared, setting forth the fact
that, as the future political battle
ground of the Democracy will be in
the North, it is best for the Demo-
cratic representatives from that sec
tion to lay down a line Of policy to be
pursued in the contest upon these
questions, They also pledge them
selves to follow the advice of their
Northern friends and stand by any
future plan of action they may see fit
to adopt. This communication in
vites an interchange of views, but
distinctiyely asserts that the RESPONSE
bility for the conclusions reached
must rest with the Northern
Democrats, This communication has
! already received the sanction Of a
majority of the Southern senator's and
members, but it has not yet been pre-
sented to the Northern, Democratic
leaders, although they have been adj
vised of its import and of the determ.
| inatiou of the Southern men to Fix
upon them the responsibility for any
future contest that may be made upon
these political riders 10 the appropria
tion bill. str Z. 4'.l' i"'fshs 2"
Mr.. Goode, of Virginia, is said now
to be in possession of this important
paper. and he is to deliver it to the
Democratic caucus committe as soon
as it shall be called together, and if it
meets their approval 1t will be signed
by the Southern representatives aud
formally presented to the caucus.
