from 50 10 S25 according to situation" The usual
price OF ticket a public dinner in England Is So

There are laws against sending n challenge
or engaging in a duel in every State in the
Union. The State of Virginia and the District
Of Columbia are not exceptions to the rule. If
there is any binding force in law, any mean
ing or significance in statutory eHactments,
the person who engages in a duel is guilty of
felony, criminal of the highest type The
enactment of these laws was upon dclibern-
ton, and after long and careful discussion.
The arguments in favor of this mode of set
Ting private or public disputes were all
heard and fairly weighed. 1t has re-
suited that with almost absolute unanimity
every organized community in this country
has recorded as its deliberate Judgment
that ducling is q criminal offence meriting
heavy penalties, one of which is disfranchise-
ment and forfeiture of the privileges
of citizenship. There is no difference of
opinion upon this question between
the great political parties, though it may
be truly said that the Republicans are more
positive and Incorporating in their hostility
to the code than their opponents Twenty-Five
years ago, when the Republican party was
formed, they had to meet the argument of the
code and the appeal to the pistol backed rs il
then was, by something like a favorable public
sentiment. Opposition to the settlement of
public questions or personal disputes by the
appeal TO the pistol was on their part natural.
instructive. 1t was the unwritten law at
the base of their organization. However their
opponents might use the dueling code
for purposes of intimidation and bullying.
the Republicans of the North held the bust
ness in the heartiest dctestatiOn. Both on ac-
count of its unreasOnlng brutality and because
it was the chief ally and support of the slave
power, they hated it.
Have they changed Now that, through
their consistent opposition, the abolition of fine
institution that fostered it, and the progress
of Christian civilization, it has fallen into dis
repute, even where it was few years AGO
recognized as the social law; now that it rests
under universal condemnation do the Repub
licans of this country, through their represent
atives in the United States Senate. propose
to give it countenance and restore it
to its old place as factor in poli-

Mr.. Riddleberger, of Virginia, was at the last
session of the Senate the Republican candi-
date for Sergeant-at-Arms. 1t is claimed by
his friends that his candidacy continues, and

Virginia duel between Mr.. Tilden and Johl
Kelly would be interesting.

A Virginia duel between Mr.. Tilden and John
Kelly would be interesting.
President Arthur was hardly out of sight OF Wash
ngton when Cabinet architect appointed an entire
new Cabinet composed exclusively of Stalwarts.
That was fine stroke of business.
The mud-slingers excuse themselves for their fresh
eruption upon Senator Sherman by saying that he is
intriguing for the Presidency in 1884 That is
o pretty poor excuse, and it is not the true one.
There are two sources of the attack upon him. One
is Stalwart and the other Democratic. The Stall
warts will never forgive him for helping defeat
their third term scheme, and the Democrats VIII
never forgive him for securing resumption. Com
mon hatred is the motive of this combination OF as
total result of all their efforts. One would think
the Stalwarts at least had Odium enough to bear
without increasing their burden.
1t is evident that the late Mr.. Bookwalter intends
TO make no effort TO save himself from speedy
oblivion. Not peep has been heard from him since
his defeat He might at least crafty public curl
osty so far as to say whether he still thinks he did
ii all himself.
Why do not some of the bloodthirsty Northern
Democratic editors who are in favor of duellng

The Republicans of the country, by rising vote,
decree grand bounce for George G. Gorham.
There is no doubt about the fact that the most
bigoted Democrat of the present day the Northern
Democrat Take this election of Senator Davis to
the Presidency of the Senate for example. The
Northern Democratic journals have commented
upon it wi ludcrous ferocity, and have spared no
epithets in venting their anger ut Judge DAVIS.
The conduct Of the Southern Democratic press has
been q great contrast to this. They have treated
the subject calmly, saving that after all 1T makes
hnf 10 al md
cause for excitement The trouble with the Northern
Democrats is that their sOurness has become
chronic.
Virginia seems to be monopolizing all the political
excitement In all other States which are TO hold
elections in November there Is almost perfect quiet
Massachusetts, is as quiet rs graveyard, and in
New-York there is scarcely q sign of a campaign
outside of Tildeu's NincOmpOOp Bureau at Albany,
which is working away the old still hunt method:
The people are taking little interest in politics, and
the danger is that great many Of them won't take
the trouble to vote on election day.

The amount of gas used in the police sta

feet over the figures of 1877. The
Commissioners are unquestionably right in
charging that there is reckless extrava-

RELIGION of the Presidents.

Washington and Garfield were the
only Presidents who were church mem
bers; but all, with one exception, were
men who revered Christianity. Adams
married minister's daughter, and was
inclined to Unitarianism. Jefferson was
not believer-at least not while he was
chief magistrate. Madison's early con-
nections were Presbyterian. Monroe is
said to have favored the Episcopal
Church. John Quincy Adams was like
his father. Jackson was Methodist,
and died in the communion of that
church. Van Buren, was brought up in
the Reformed Dutch Church, but after
wards inclined to the Episcopal Church
Polk was baptised by a Methods.
preacher after his term of Office had ext
pired. Taylor was inclined to the
Episcopal communion. Fillmore at
tended the Unitarian Church, and
Franlin Pierce was member, but not a
communicate. of a Congregationalist
Church at Concord. Buchanan was a
Presbyterian. Gen. Grant attended the
Methodist Church, and President Gar
field is a member of the Church of Disci-
pies
