There is no END TO the eccentricIties OF sequence
resulting from the operations of the "code of
honorn The latest instance occurred in Algeria, and
IS worth relating. French gentleman, NJ. Arson
neau, accused an officer, Captain Rieux, OF having
wronged him. In vain the captain protested his
innocence. Nothing would satisfy the jealous hus-
band but duel. SO averse was the officer to the
proposition that, though his courage on the field
had been repeatedly proved, his comrades began to
suspect him of cowardice, and he was at last put
under arrest because he refused to fight. Then he
Welded. and the duel WINS arranged. The parties
fought with pistols, at twenty-five PAGES, and at
the first discharge the challenger, M. Arsonncau
was shot through the heart. Thereupon an inquiry
was held, and the captain was duly and promptly
acquitted.
Tie question Of course is where in this case does
the satisfaction come Inf The challenging party,
who believed that he had been injured by the cha-
lenged. is killed. That is the end of his endeavor 10

The infection of fine of $500 upon Captain
Slocum of the ship Northern Light can hardly
fail to have a wholesome influence upon other
sea-captaiis of brutal tendencies. 1t will
remind them that poor Jack is not yet entirely
defehceless. This man cruelty imprisoned one
of his suboIdinates for long time in box too
small to stand up or lie down in. And yet
Slocum is captain OF one of the finest OF
American Ships and is regarded as paftic-
ularly humane of,car! 1t is not pleasant to
imagine what practices more inhuman com
manders probably often resort to in order to
maintain discipline.

The results of canvass which THE 1RIB-
UNE's correspondent at Albany has made of the
Senators and Assemblymen in regard to the
National nominations for next year are given
on another page of this impression. The
opinions expressed are remarkable for what
they don't contain rather than for what they
do. The Republicans have 10 decided personal
choice for candidate, AID so far as Their
observation goes their constituents have no
particular preferences either, All they want
is the best man. Among the Democr' tt
Senators and Assemblymcn Mr.. Tilden is first
favorite, and Mr.. Cleveland second, while Mr..
Hewitt. Mr.. Mcdonald and several others are
scattering" In other words, so far as candl-
dates are concerned there is not much choice
and what there is, is mixed. But touching
Free Trade and Protection it is different. The
Republican legislators are strongly in favor of
the present policy of the Government. The
Democrats try to dodge the issue, OF course and
are Free Ira ders with Protection tendencies or
Protectionists with Free Trade tendencies

able to express an opinion that didn't mean

Yes, that would be one way of escaping the neces-

such a convention. The Constitution contains al
