New Orleans Democrat and Daily
States, fought duel Oh Metnirie
Ridge, Tuesday morning, the meeting
growing out Of bitter controversy
between these pnprrs ON the subject
Of tho award Of the city printing to
tho Democrat. Two shots we're ex
changed without effect, after which
the affair terminated in the nsual
manner-each principal recognizing
the honor and courage Of the other
and all parties declaring themselves
satisfied. Tie two Majors were very
cool and collected during the whole
proceeding, deporting themselves to
the admiration and satisfaction of
their friends and Of all admirers of
the code. Major Burke was repre-
sented by Messrs. Page NJ. Baker aud
Richard Weightman Of the Democrat
staff, Major Hearsry by Hon. Leon

As seqnel to the affair all the par
Elephants have been informed against
by the District Attorney for violating
the statute prohibiting dueling. This
may be regarded, however, as an in
formal formality, for the law is a dead
letter rs regards any class Of duelsts
and it can scarcely be expected that
new era in the administration of
the imperative statute will be inaug-
nrated by serious attempt to punish
such distinguished citizens as State
Treasurer Burke, Major Hearsey and
their companions.

The warmth and nnapimity with
which the claims of Mr.. Gibson to the
SeDatorsl'ip we're advocated by the
newspapers in all portions of the
State, must have been exceedingly
gratifying to that gentleman. The
tribute to his ability and worth was
spontaneous and general, doing honor
alike unto those who gave and be
who received it. Had the choice of a
Senator been RENTED to caucus of
Louisiana editors, Gen. Gibson would
have been nominated By a three
fourtlls vote ON first ballot.

A few weeks ago we mentioned the
report "tl,at the combined Green
hackers and Republicans carried the
parish of Natchitoches fairly but were
beaten in the count" and tho para
graph has elected the follOwiDg re-
spouse from the Natchitociles Vindi
Gator:
We assure our esteemed contemporary
that the " combined Greenback and Re-
publican combination" was beaten by
the Democrats by ballots in the boxes
actually cast by actual voters, and that
not one more vote was counted than was
honestly and lawfully voted and fur
thermore, we have never heard Of this
:" counting ont before.
Then what was the meaning of the
statement recently made, either by
the indicator or some other Demo
cratic paper iD a ne ghhoring parish,
to the effect that only technicali-
ties" in the election prevented the
triumph of the Republican ticket in
Natchitoclles by something like 500
majority7 We are ready to accept
the indicators assurances respecting
the election as far as they so, but we
can not regard them as disposiDg of
the subject, for they fail to cover al
least one very essential point The
ballots in the hnxes may have been
correctly counted, but how many
voters were deprived Of the right to
add their ballots tu the number by
the accidental omission Of their names
from the poll books, and other tech
Dicalities of similar nature7 An
unequivocal reply to this question,
embracing an honest explanation of
the circumstances attending the open,
ing Of a separate pol. in one Of the
wards by the Greenbackers and Re
pnblicans, would be interesting read
ing to many readers Of the Vndicator
and the CHfEF.

Wedding Bells.

Thursday evening at the home Of the

wedding of their eldest daughter and
only living child Miss Addie, to Mr.. c.
w. Baker, of Painesville. The ceremony
was performed by Rev. Chester L.
Foote, of Cleveland, uncle Of the bride.
The young couple stood beneath can
opy Of evergreen with background Of
the same, frightened with maple leaves,
and above them was suspended large
horseshoe Of white chrysanthemums.
This fashionable emblem of good luck
was repeated in other decorations about
the room. Two blonde young ladies
from Cleveland, cousins of the bride
were her attendants, and Frank Vaughn
and Devillo Foote acted as groomsmen.
The guests were made up Of relatives,
. few neighbors and friends, classmates
and teachers associated with the bride
in day and Sunday y-scbool, and young
people, enough to fill the house COM
fortably. The bride was the recipient
of many handsome and useful gifts,
and the young couple begin their united
life with apparently pleasant prospects.
