The Code of Honor-A Duel That Failed
 to Come or.
 RICHMOND, Oct. 17.-The Wise -Riddleber- ger duel has not ceased to be the subject of conversation in this city, and the happy con- sequence of that encounter is the subject of congratulation amongst all parties, readjuster and funder alike. This evening the Rich mond State published card in explanation why it's editor, Beirne, did not encounter Riddleberger in duel number one. All the preparations were made by the challenged party, who was the junior editor of the State, and he was on the ground prepared to answer the requirements of the occasion, when it was discovered that there were no percussion caps. On agreement between the seconds of the respective parties, the neces- sary adjuncts were sent for, but failed to ar- rive. Beirne and his party waited till p. m., and between that time and the hour of the meeting, which was a. m., anxiously so- licited a meeting with accustomed arms, &c. This seems to have been denied, and the hour of o'clock arriving they were arrested by 8 Hanover officer, who was in pursuit of both belligerents. An explanation of all these matters appears in the StGte this evening from the second of MT. Beirne. It is deemed by all adherents of the code entirely satis- factory Suffice it to say that MT. Beirne is willing, and more than anxious, to afford Mir. Riddleberger any satisfaction he may hope to gain by resort to pistols. It is thought that something will yet grow out of this that will have bloody ter animation Senator Malone is here, but does. not seem as much inclined to pursue his late assailant as he does to advance the cause of readiustment in this State, to which his sole energies seem to be devoted.

Ireland.

The Limerick Riots-Drunken Policemen
 ofLand Leaguers.
 DUBLIN, Oct. 1.-The people should be warned against exaggerated reports of the outburst of public fury in various quarters of Ireland regarding the recent arrests The idea of organized resistance may be dis missed at once. Even unorganized mobs are not dangerous. The importance of affairs here on Saturday and Sunday nights is not ascribable to the violence of the crowd, but to the brutality of the police. To tell the truth there was hardly a member of the special force engaged who was not more or less drunk. One policeman said this morn ing that the members of the force had nothing to eat and but little sleep since Saturday, but were able to get drunk at several public houses. The result was that they were wild with liquor, and if 1t were not for their assaults upon innocent people little would have been known of excitement in the streets Well known citizens, news- paper reporters, telegraph messengers and even women suffered from the outrageous conduct of the police. The first reports of the Limerick affair were from the same hand that invented the siege of Quinlan's castle.
 1t was stated that shooting occurred all over the city and that many people were killed. It now turns out that only one person was wounded with buckshot The fact that the Scot Crews left in the evening is sufficient evidence that the affair is not serious.

The Cause of Civil Service Reform.
 SPRINGFIELD, Oct. 1.-The first of series of addresses under the auspices of the Springfield Civil Service Reform club was delivered in the City Hall this evening by Rev. Dr. Washington Gladden.. He proved the awful debauchery of the spells system from the testimony of prominent politicians, not from doctrinarires. He showed up the inconsistencies of Senator Dawes letter, the impracticability of the latter's method of re- forming the service and advocated legislation providing for the competitive examinations, disproving the charge of impracticability of this method by an array of facts including testimony of General Grant and his Cabinet and the success of the plan in the New York custom house and postofice and in the civil service of England. Mir. Gladden's address was listened to attentive ly by a large audience, including the majori- ty of officials and professional and business men of the city, and at it's close was heartily applauded. Congressman Robinson was present and heard his ideas on the subject sarcastically criticised and shown to be false and unfounded

Ihe Battle Of NatfonSs'
 BERLIN, Oct. 1.-The extensive prepara- tions which the conservatives of Berlin have been making for some time past for the cele- bration of the battle of Leipsic, ''the battle of nations" as it is commonly called here, have been completed. The day is also the anniversary of the German Grown Prince It is intended to keep the day in the same way as the conservatives kept the anniver- sary of Sedan. The poorer adherents of the party will be entertained gratis at any of the theatres, concerts or other places of amuse- ment they may fancy. There is no attempt to conceal the fact the object of this gener- osity is to curry favor with the populace with 8 view to benefit the conservative party at the polls, but it appears very unlikely that the result will influence the forthcoming elections in Berlin to any serious extent. How the imperial elections will go generally throughout Prussia aud the other States of Germany it is quite impossible to predict. The preliminary campaign is now being gone through, with an extraordinary display of nO1itica1 fiercey,ess on all sides
