Story of an Unfought Duel.

There appears to have been good
reason for the Riddleberger- Met Carly
duel not taking. place. McCarty is
dead shot, but Riddleberger might
have gone through the motion had it
not been for Malone. Young Ma
hone, who is about the Senator
great deal, said to-day that his father
sent for Riddleberger and said to
him: ''This duel business will have
to stop right of. I have made big
fight in Virginia, and have carried
my point there with great difficulty.
Do you suppose for one moment
that 1 am going to allow. you to go
out and have vacancy made in the
United States Senate by Mr.. McCar-
TVS bullet? Just as sure as you get
in line with McCarty's pistol you are

THE LAST INFAMY.

We have one Democratic official
at Nashville. His name is Polk;
he is State Treasurer.
This man was charged, in part,
with the execution of the Funding
Act. He went North and urged all
of our bondholders to give up their
$1,000 bonds and take 5000 bonds in
lieu, promising to see that the in
terest coupons were paid.
Fourteen thousand bonds have
been funded. Polk got One-third OF
two dollar fee on each bond. lie
has over nine thousand dollars in
his pocket, the Comptroller and
Secretary Of State have. each
like sum in their pockets, paid by
The B0ndhoIders on Folks assur-
ances that the Funding was all in
good faith. These three officers got
two dollars for each bond funded,
the money being paid by the bond
holders.
And now the last day for funding
having arrived, and the last bond
having been received that can be
funded under the law, Polk, in utter
violation of the law, in utter
violation of all good faith
in contempt of bis oath of Office
and in shameless disregard of com
mon honesty, holds to the nine
thousand dollars the bond holders
have paid him, and refuses TO &c
any further in the execution of thu
law.
If this is not a most public ant
fragrant obtaining money undel
false pretenses, our criminal records
are a SANDER on many men now il
the penitentiary.
Not a b0ndhOider would have
given up his thousand dollar bono
and accepted ia lieu a six hundred
dollar bond and paid Polk and tn
others two dollars on each bond, /
Polk had intimated that, after h'
had got their money ana their OLE
Knoxville daily chronicle. [volume] (Knoxville, Tenn.) 1870-1882, 1882-12-31

bonds, he would repudiate the new
bonds and hold on to their money
besides.
No wonder, the Memphis Ava
lanche, an honest Independent
Democratic paper, says: off Folks
term were not out he should be
impeached and removed from office
for declining to execute the law"
And what is Folks excuse? He
says that he is satisfied that the
people are opposed to the so & 6
act! Why didn't he say that be-
fore? The election took place
nearly two months ago, and the
funding has been going on at a
lively rate ever since, and Polk has
been examining the bondholders'
money into his pocket all the time;
and not until after the last bonds
were handed in did Polk say a
word.
And thus disgrace after disgrace
has fallen upon us. There wss a
day when O. Tennesseean who
Travelled sbls I'd gloried in the fact
that he was from the land of hon
orable men; but no longer does
Tennesseeap boast of the honor of
his Stale.
And there are men so craven in
spirit, so dwarfed in soul,so warped
in mind, as to rejoice over this last
infamy.
What new shames are in store for
us, we know not; but we pray that
with the new year there may come
to Tennessee a new resolution to-
do what is honorable. AS sure as q
God Of Justice rules the destinies
of Stats, so sure must reputation
be s. crime and SO sure must pun
ishment fall upon US as the penalty.

BrOadhead's Maiden Speech.

Mr.. Speaker: The condition of the
country at the present time may well
cause alarm to the minds and hearts
of all patriotic citizens. For twenty
odd years the Democratic party has
been sitting at the national table
taking part in the national game, and
doing what, sir? putting up its "ante"
and its "blind," and, occasionally,
making Jackpot, but never raking
in single pot-not a pot, sir; no,
not one. In 1876, Mr. Speaker, we
drew to pair of aces and got two
more. With this remarkable and
almost invincible hand we called our
corrupt and unprincipled opponents,
and what did they do sir? Did they
lay down and acknowledge defeat? No,
sir. They called for arbitration,
packed the board of arbitrators
against US, and decided that We had
rung in a cold deck on them, and
that our hand instead of being four
aces was to be counted as only two
aces. Groans on the Democratic
side. And SO, sir, we had to lay
down four aces to their three miser-
able deuces, which, as this House
well knows, is no hand at all. Laugh
ter On the Republican side. O, yes,
sir, and trembled for my country
while this arbitration went on. It
was evident to me from the Begin
ming that the Radical conspirators
would either rule out two of our aces
or rob the deck on their own behalf
and claim a sequence flush, which,
according to the constitution of the
United States and the reconstruction
laws of usurping Congress, cannot
possibly be beaten. Applause from
the Democrats and cry of Well
have that next time. Yes, sir, 1
hope and believe, as my esteemed
friend from Kentucky says, that we
will have sequence flush, ace high,
next time. Renewed applause from
the Democrats. I only trust that
there will then be Jackpot on the
table, and that the Republicans will
stand ''pat" on tours yes, sir, heaven
grant that it may be on four aces,
Well raise them every time until we
make them lay down their hand,
while we take in the rake. But, Mr..
Speaker, even this roseate view oil
the near future is not without its
cloud, For while my enraptured
vision beholds on the one hand the
Democratic party with a sequence
fiush-strong in the consciousness
Of virtue and an invincible hand
my fears conjecture before nue. &
vision of an entirely different char
acter-that of the Republi-
can party, travelling in its
beaten path of disregard
Knoxville daily chronicle. [volume] (Knoxville, Tenn.) 1870-1882, 1882-12-31

for law and constitution, and trying
to prove that in this vital matter of
Pushes a bob-tail beats sequence.
Yes, Mr.. Speaker, the past history
of the Republican party prepares me
even for this. It has trampled upon
all laws, and [ am prepared to see it
declare that Loyal bob-tail beats
Confederate sequence Groans from
the Democracy. My friends on the
Republican side of this House may
laugh at this prediction, but the
time may come, sir, when the Demo.
cratic party, waking up to the fact
that the game is braced against
them, tired of repeated cheating, and
no longer able to put up an ante or a
blind, shall rise in its might and rally
as one man in defense of constitu-
tional liberty, square deal and
square game. Great applause on
the Democratic side. And now, sir,
having said this much by way of
warning rather than intimidation, I
pass. Applause. Globe Democrat.
New Years.
''Ring out, wild bells, to the wild sky,
The flying cloud, the frosty light
The year is dying in the night
Ring out, wild bells, and let him die!"
-Tennyson.
Hark! the death-knell of the year
is tolling. Hush! tbs a solemn mo
ment; step softly, Iistenl That ,eold,
old year brought many soTIows,
many joys, to this strange world Of
ours. Into the heart of youth it
poured loves golden treasure; it part
ed friends whose hearts were linkedin
bonds of true affection; it kissed,
perhaps, with kiss of silver the
dark, rich tresses upon some pensive
brow.
In that short space of time many
a weary pilgrim laid down his bur
den and went to his reward; many a
youthful knight, with spotless shield,
entered the lists of life's great tourna-
ment.
Old friends have left us and new
ones filled their places; we have all
changed for better or for worse-and
if the old year has been kind to us,
we lament his fate: if harsh, we bend
in worship to the king who claims
the vacant throne.
Hushl the bells are tolling family;
1t is almost over; the end is near.
''His face is growing sharp and thin,
Alack! our friend is gone.
Close up his eyes; tie up his chin;
Step from the corpse, AMI let him in,
That standeth there alone,
And walteth at the door.
There's new foot on the floor, my friend,
And new face at the door, my friend
And new face at the DOOR"
Let us cherish the last words of
the old, dead year:
81 am fading from you,
But one draweth near,
Called the angel guardian
Ut the coming year.
May you hold this angel
Bearer than last;
So bless his Future
While he crowns my Past"
Standing on the shining threshold
of the coming days, while old joys
and sorrows fade slowly in the dis
lance, we may repeat the solemn
wish of the poet:
"Let the dead past bury its dead"
The old year with it's sufferings
has purified our strength; it's mis-
fortunes have given us experience;
and we go onward down the path
MY841 way Of the SGQmiRaG Hers Hd tln Upright
wishes for the past.-Youths Cons

IF Blaine and Conkling, as repre>
sentatives of the two opposing fac
tons, were, in the presence of the
whole people, to fall into each
others arms, in token of peace be-
tween the two factions, they would
not give the party victory in 1884.
The people no longer care for either
Blaine or Conkling, for Stalwart or
Half-breed. They have taken the
matter into their own hands, and
have swept over the Blaines and
Conklings. They are as powerless
for good or evil as corks floating be-
fore the food. Congress, the Presi-
dent, can do much to rebuild the
Republican party and equip it for
victory in 1884, and the old machine
leaders can do more, by keeping out
of the way, by smashing the ma,
chine, by taking no part in electing
or manipulating conventions, in per-
hitting the people to manage things
political during the next two years.

A Protest Against Wine ON New
Years's Day.
From the New York Sun.

From the New York Sun.
The following document, with the
signatures of many clergymen in
this neighborhood, is being widely
circulated:
To the ladies of New York: In
view of the approach of the holiday
season, and having regard to the
influence which the manner of it's
observance is likely to have on many,
especially among the young, the I'M
dersigned, ministers of religion and
others interested in the welfare of
the community, would respectfully
suggest that the ladies of New York,
in providing for the reception of
their friends on New Years Day,
should put no wine or strong drink
upon their tables.
We gladly bear testimony to the
fact that in past years this course
has been very largely followed in the
social circles, and we earnestly der
sire to see it universally adopted.
The opening Of the year is time for
serious reflection as well as joyous
congratulation. We have no wish to
frown upon the mirth which is ASSOC
ciated with the season, but we are
DESTROYS that there should be moth
ing in it to drown thoughtfulness or
endanger character, and we are sure
that it will not mar the happiness of
the day to feel at its close that we
have done nothing throughout it to
put temptation in the way of
another.
For the sake of their influence and
example, therefore, and in order that
no act of theirs should seem, even
IN the remotest degree, to encourage
that intemperance which is such an
evil in the midst of us, We hope that
our ladies will accede to this sugges-
| ton.
