GREAT EXCITEMENT OVER THE DUEL.

Vienna, Jan. 15.-speClal dispatches from
Pesth state that serious disturbances occurred
Tuesday and Wednesday in consequence Of the
duel between Baron Msithenyi and Herr Yer.
horay, member Of Parliament, In which the latter
was fatally wounded, and that further trouble is
feared. Herr Verhoray wasedtor of Hungarian
radical newspaper, and attacked Count FestetsR
a fellow member with Baron Maithenyi Of the
aristocratic National Casino Club, and Baron
Malthenyi intervened. Partisans Of VerhOrsy
say that Maithenyl is professional duellist and
the best pistol shot in Hungary, and was put for
ward in ithe quarrel for the purpose of silencing
Verhoray, who is very distasteful to arlsoCrats
but popular with the masses. Last night crowd
ofstudents and workmen, filed the streets in the
neighborhood Of the Casino Club, uttering hostile
cries. and they finally stoned the windows The
police were repeatedly repUlsed by the rioters,
and finally two battalions Of infantry charged
with fixed bayOnets. Many persons were slightly
hurt by stones. bricks and bayOnets. About thirty
rioters were arrested.
Another dispatch from Pssth says: Rioting was
renewed late last night and two persons were
shot, whether by the military or rioters is not as
certained. At midnight shots were fred at the

LATER-The military shot two persons in the
riot Wednesday night No disturbance would
have occurred If the police had not provoked the
people by their brutality, The workmen are re.
ported to be marching from the suburbs to the
inner town.
Another dispatch asserts that upwards Of 25
persons were killed and wounded, and that fresh
disturbances were Rpprehended THURSDAY night.
The soldiers are confined to their barracks. The
i'll feeling against the TlsEa government has
doubtless much to do with the present movement
1t is feared the provincial towns will follow the
example Of Pesth.

General Order No. 4, dated November l, 1879,
assigning General Joshua L. Chamberlain to the
command Of the Volunteer Militia, is hereby re-
vOked. General Order No. II, dated January 5,
1880, assigning General Joshua L. Chamberlain
to duty as Commander OF the First Division of
Maine Militia and requiring the commanding
officers Of all military organizations Of the State
to report to him Is hereby revoked. Special Or.
der No. As, dated January 5, directing General
Chamberlain to protect public property and in
stitutions the State, is hereby revoked. The
commanding officers Of all military organizations
accepted into the service OF the State are requir'
ed to report TO the commander n'chief.
(Signed) JOSEPH L. SMITH.
This order was taken to General Chamberlain
by Generals Folsom and Black Of the Governors
stst. The General received 1t and replied that
he would return his answer In the morning,
Thus the matter rests, From what Chamberlain
has said it is easy to infer what action he is
likely to take III the matter.
Orders have been sent to the commanding Off
GERS in every military company in the State
signed by Joseph L. Smith, announcing that
Chamberlain is relieved from the command, and
directing them to obey no orders except from
Smith. It Is likely that Smith will neglect no
means to assert his authority. The Republicans
will be as little inclined to yield as their oppo
nents. The position Of General Chamberlain is
most unenviable, but 1t Is believed the affair will
eventuate by noon to morrow, but in what man
ner II Is impossible TO predict.

FORNEY'S LIFE OF GEN. HAN.
COCK.


A campaign biography to be we'll writ
ten, demands OF its author a ready and
able pen, thorough appreciation Of the
events that frame the career Of his sub
ject, an earnest purpose to portray a
great life nobly united to sincere ad-
miration of the hero. No one will for a
moment questi On that that able Journal
ist-the nestor OF the Philadelphia press
John w. Forney possesses all these, and
something more. A lifelong admiration
and acquaintance with General Hancock
prompted him in his task, and to its full
fillment, he brought all the enthusiasm
of native comradeship, all the energy OF
true friendship.
Colonel Forney years ago won his rep
utation as graceful, forcible author, and
as journalist, is known almost as we'll
| abroad as be is at home. He is a pro
tege of Republican institutions and most
of the time during the last twenty years
an office holder. In joining the Demo
cratic forces he has not deserted his par
ty, his party has deserted him, for from
the start, Col. Forney has always allied
himself with true progress. He now
seals this fresh alliance with the party of
True Progress by writing the life of its
noble leader.
He could have no better subject for
his brilliant pen. The career of the
great soldier who has been chosen to
lead the Democratic hosts in the battle
that will WIN them the political laurels
of government-in the way he SO often
led them where they won the laurels of
victorious warts tale of battle seldom
equalled in interest. 1t is a thrilling
narrative of conflict, brilliant and bitter
of days.
"When Death went whistling by on
every wind" of nights of hardship when
earth and sky formed the soldiers only
tent, of privations,- lin short the career
of superb warrior, true patriot, a
simple gentleman.
AS biography the volume will be
more than valuable. Gen Hancock
placed all his private papers at Col For
ney's disposal and he has made liberal
and judicious use of them. The pages
are fascinating from al" to "500".
The book is sold by subscription onDy,

THE New York Tribune insists that
should the Democrats elect Hancock
and English, Congress will set aside
the constitutional amendments and pay
the "rebel debts" The utter fallacy OF
the Tribune's assertion is well disposed
Of by the following clinching state
ment. 1t appears so simple that it Is
astonishing that any intelligent person
could be led to believe the TribUas's
falsehood: "The 4th section of the 14th
amendment to the Constitution says,
But neither the United States nor any
State shall assume or pay any debt or
obligation incurred in aid of insurrec-
tion or rebellion against the United
States, or any claim for the loss or
emancipation Of any slave, but all such
debts, obligations, and claims shall be
held illegal and void" The value OF
the slaves emancipa' ed, at $500 head,
would be $1,000, 100000 The money
would have to be raised by taxation and
q loan, and to take the first steps in the
matter the assent of two-thirds Of the
voters In Congressional elections and of
three-fourths Of the States would have
to be obtained. But only one-third of
the States had any slave property, so the
proposition is that thTee-fourths will tax
themselves to recoup to one-third debt,
the validity of which three-fourths have
denied, and the immortality Of which
they have vehemently proclaimed.
,'More than this, the voters at the next
presidential election will be hard upon
10000, 900, of whom two-thirds of 6,600,-
900 will be required to assent to the pro-
position before Congress will give the
people q chance to act upon it. But the
Tribune has established, time and again,
that there were only $4,000 slavehold-
ers in the United States in 1850, so that
when its prediction comes to pass we
will witness the ref-eshing spectacle of
o,600, 900 men voting to open up set
tied question OF debt which never ex-
listed, and 1900, 900 men voting to pay
$1,000, ,000, 900, which they never owed
and had no occasion TO reimburse, to
$50, 900 persons who neither ask nor ex-
psct it. Campaign figures are some
times more startling than campaign
stories."

From he Neso York Times. FEB. 10. 1873.
Messrs. Kelley and Garfield present a
most distressing figure. Their partici-
patton In the Credit Mobilier affair Is com.
plicated by the most unfortunate contra

From u.e NesD York Times. FEB. ~, 1878.
The character OF the Credit Mobilier was
no secret.T The source OF its profits was very
well known at the time Congressman

succeeded in concealing his own motive.
which was to bribe Congressman, their
acceptance OF the stock was not on tina

James A. Garfield OF Ohio had ten
shares never paid dollar: received ESQ,
which, after the Investigation began, he
was anxious TO have considered as a loan
from Mr.. Oakes Ames to himself.
Well, the wickedness of all OF 1t is that
these men betrayed the trust Of the peo-
pie, deceived their constituents, and by
evasions and falsehoods confessed the

1T IS unnecessary to comment upon q
scurrilous attack yesterday made In the
Tribune on Mr.. BeltEhoover, a member
of Congress from Pennsylvania, who re-
plies with quiet emphasis to that attack
in telegram to the World to-day
Every decent and respectable man among
the Republicans of New York is person

BEGsINa money and levying assess.
ments ON government employees is the
chief duty and occupation of a large
number Of men in the employ of the
Republican party. 1t is said that their
election fund already amounts to over
one million dollars. In order to get a
part of this fund for Delaware it is
necessary to make some show of an
ability to carry our State, and hence
such brags as the following are made
by the Republican:
"If their taxes are paid and they all
poll q vote for Garfield and Arthur,

No doubt the corruption fund was
largely increased by the addition o
smaller sums.
The daily gazette., 1880-09-11

THE hopes of the Republican party
are all centered in the dssensions that
they are cultivating and using every
means 10 create and cause apathy and
division in the Democratic ranks. They
profess to have sunk all private princi-
pie to get out of the quarrels that dis
graced their conventions few weeks
ago, and now declare their only wish to
be the defeat of the Democrats, in order
that they may once more get hold of lit
tie Delaware, and its treasury, and
despoiled it as they have the treasury of
every Southern State where they have
secured power.
1t is, therefore necessary for the
Democrats in all parts of this county
and the State to cease their chickering's
about trihing matters, and go to work to
gather up the voters and form them into
solid lines from the Brandywine to the
Nanticoke. There never was greater
necessity, or more important occasion
for this work. Efforts are being made
to defeat the Legislative and Levy Court
tickets, and declarations are CONSTANT,
made that If they once secure the
power in the State to do so, they will put
in operation all the agencies used in the
New England States to hold it for ali
time to come. They are ready at any
time to destroy universal suffrage in the
State II they are able to exclude thu
foreign vote with that of portion o.
the negro element, as In Rhode Island.
