D,-nopTs from various sections OF
tho 6. ate indicate that many democrats
who have acted with the readJusters'
have determined to take their place ID
The democratic party. They very pro-
perly consider the debt question out VI
nolilics aud they are Unwilling 10 act
with the party which has always oppoS'
ed them. They were democrats wnen
,he debt issue was brought before the
nsonle. and they took sides as demo-
Gratis. Upon this issue they followed
the men whose views they endorseu'
-, ,hov are not willing to follow them
into the republican party. When the
,.sus ia a fair and square one between
Tho two par,ies they will act with theiI
nartv friends and against their party
Enemies. The cry of "iunder" Will
not brighten them nor will 'ney We
demoralzed by the silly shout Vi
"Bowbon." These cries may nave
some effect with men who are '00
,cnoraut to know that they really mean
nothing and are used TO excite the PIE
iudices of a class that cannot DC iu'
sueuced by either facts or legitimate
arguments. oro
We are glad TO know that some are

The Duelists in Hiding.

RICHMOND, VA, June 25.-The
deepest interest is manifested 10 the
movements looking toward duel be.
tween r. F. Beirne, editor OF the State
and W. G. Elan, editor of the Wing,
and all SORTS OF sensational and base
less rumors have been prevalent today.
One OF these reported the hostile meet
ing as having occurred, with fatal results
ID Mr.. Elan. There was no sort OF
foundation for any of these stories.
The best information here states that
Mr.: Beirne was in Greenbller county
yesterday. An attempt was made to
arrest him, but Mr.. Belrne got notice
of it and eluded the officers. He moved
and his whereabouts. are now unknown.
Elan is believed to be near here. The
distance which is believed to seperate
The two men make it impossible for any
meeting to occur within the next twelve
hours. All Of the trains are closely
watched, aud those who are supposed
10 be in any way connected with the
pending affair are Swallowed by the
awtho rites.
1t IS quite certain that negotiations
have been going on for another meet
ing. Where, of course is only matter
of cJnj ecture. A pair OF navy revolvers
have been secured by one Of Beirne'S
re presentatives for use on the occasion.
These are already where they Will
reach the scene of the supposed COL
fict. II is the general impression that
nothing, not even ARE SITS, can prevent
a hostile meeting betw cen Beirne aud
Elan.

Royal, friends of Beirne, aud Col. A
w. Jones and J. w. Miuitree. friends
Of Elan had loag confer ence to-day.

me citing are nearly completed. Ii is
positively asserted that Elan has 5een
in Richmond since yesterday, and that
he left the city tonight. M4ssrs. Nc
Carly and Royal, were seen on thu
streets today, and this has given rise to
the impression that they will second

the former is 10 West Virginia, await
ing new arrangements for hostile
meeting. Elam's whereabouts Is not
stated. Rumor locates him at various
points. When or where the meeting
will take place is more OF mystery
than ever. That it will occur, how
ever, is not doubted. Though the ex-
element Of the past three days has
abated, the anxiety and desire to hear
from the parties is still intense. The
arrest of Mr.. Beirne and bis friends on
Friday evening was in measure lille
cal. He was not placed under bonds,
as stated in Friday nights dispatches,
bu! got of free.
PETERSBURG, VA; June 24.-On
information received that Messrs. Elan
and Beirne were likely to engage in q
duel near this place, T. II. Thompson
Justice of the peace, this afternoon 49,
sued warrants for their arrests. 1t j:
thought that the second for the parties
have arranged for hostile meeting
and that il the principals are not ar
rested a duel will be fought in Chester

this city tomorrow.

BY Universal Accord,

AYERS CATHARTIC PILLS are the best
of all purgatives for family use. They
are the product of long, laborious, and
successful chemical investigation, and
their extensive use, by physicians in
their practice, and by all civilized ma
tions, proves them the best and most
efiectual purgative Pill that medical
science can devise. Being purely veg
etable no harm can arise from their
use, and being sugar-coated, they are
pleasant to take. In intrinsic value
and curative powers no other Pills
can be compared with them; and every
person, knowing their virtues, will
employ them, when needed. They
keep the system in perfect order, and
maintain in healthy action the whole
machinery of life. Mild, searching and
efIectual, they are especially adapted
to the needs of the digestive apparatus,
arrangements of which they prevent
and cure, IL timely taken. They are
the best and safest physic to employ
for children and weakened ccnstitu-
tiOns, where a mild but eiiectual
cathartic is required.
For sale by all druggists.

only small fve-shooter revolvers.
These Belrne's seconds objected tc,
insisting upon the conditions Of the
cartel, which stipulated six'shooter
navy revolvers. Mr.. Beirne's friends
were not of course in possession Of
such arms, but promptly offered to
furnish regular duellng Deringers.
This offer was not accepted. Belrne.
however, waived his objections TO the
small pistol rather than have any de-
lay.
1t is positively stated that Beirne
will at once leave for another State,
possibly an adjoining one. where he
will renew hostile correspondence with
Mr.. Elan, whose whereabouts are not
now known.
Had the arrival Of the police been
deferred twenty minutes the tight
would have commenced and no doubt
beon continued to the death. The
place Of meeting and other details OF
the cartel were agreed on by friends
of the belligerents in Richmond.
The fight was prevented it is be-
lieved by merest accident. Neither
of the principals nor their friends were
