A neaerved Ran.

The New York Star, while recognizing
the progress that the South is max
ing 10 various directions, administers o
deserved rap to class, representatives
OF which are found in nearly every
southern community. The Star says
there 10 a small element in the South
which seems TO think that the only road
to prosperity for the southern people
:" lies across oil the principles and con-
victiops they ever professed. Because
the South was worsted in a contest over
slavery, this little clique wants to put
aside everything distinctively southern,
and involve in one common condemua-
ton the wisdom and the folly. the vir-
tues and the faults Of the 'old South"
The Nashville American, in comment
ing upon the utterances of the Star,
says:
"The war destroyed slavery and i'm
poverished the people, but it did not
necessitate any revolution in political
thought. 1t only made it necessary
that the South should acquiesce in good
faith in the result aud turn with re.
Dewed energy to the building up of the
waste of war. The South is the
South and has no reason to be ashamed
Of herself. nor any reason to become
New-Englandized in order to be pros
porous"
Correct. 1t will be q sad day, not
only for the South but for the nation,
when the southern people break away
from their traditions and conservative
methods OF thought.

A Washinpton letter in the NJ

A Washington letter in the Ma
nassas Gazette says:
"Mr. Randall on Monday introduced
in the House his tariff bill, which is far
preferable to that Of Mr.. Morrison. II
is strange that our southern members
will stick to Morrison, who is opposed
to the abolition Of the internal-revenue
system, and won't follow Randall, who
is by far the brainier man and consum-
mate leader, and who wants to abolish
that iniquitous and unjust system. The
tariff reduction as placed in the latest
Morrison bill looked all very well on
paper, but as practical proposition il
was altogether failure. That great
reduction ought to and will be made is
beyond peradventure but the finess.
ing of western members in the interest
of that section will hardly be tolerated
by the other sections of the country.
Free trade and tariff for the sake Of q
tariff are both impossibilities. What
the country now demands and will soon
extort from Congress is fair measure
avoiding both extremes. Whether Mr..
Randall's bill is Of this character | am
unable to say, as it will take time to
take in its bearings. The feature
abolishing the internal-revenue system
will, however, commend it to the PEG.
pie Of your State"
If Mr.. RANDALL's bill is defective
let it be amended. This country GER
tainly needs a better tariff than the ex
listing one.

A SINGULAR DUEL.
Two brothers Shooting at Each other
at short Range.

A New Orleans telegram says: A
dispatch stated briefly some days ago
that there had been shooting affair
between two brothers in the back pOr-
ton Of the parish of st. Lareday, and
that one of the parties had received q
mortal wound. Not until to-day were
all the particulars received OF this re-
markable affair. Adam and Alphonse
Reed are brothers and their wives are
sisters. Both have children about
grown. They live not more than
200 yards apart, their residences being
on the same lane. They are both
good, industrious, thrifty citizens, and
arc esteemed by their neighbors.
They have been at enmity with each
other for some time about tract of
land. Last Saturday night Adam
Reeds son and Alphonse Reeds two
daughters were at ball. While dane
ing they turned their backs, on account
of the enmity between the families. On
Monday morning, when Adam Reed
aud his son were passing along the lane
Alphonse Reed left his plow aud threat
ened to slap young Reeds jaws on &C.
count of the occurrence at the ball.
The latter informed him that he was
not man enough to fight him, being
quito young, and his father intimated to
Alphonse that he had better not slap
his son, whereupon the latter replied
that the matter would have to be settled
by burning powder, and his proposition
was accepted.
They did not name seconds in the
sense Of the code" but each man had
a friend for witness to see that there
was fair fight. 1t was arranged that
the parties should fight with double
barrel shot-guns loaded with buck
shot that they should leave their
houses at a given time and approach
each other in the lane, and begin firing
when they pleased. The witnesses
were in field on the flank, where they
could watch the fight without being ex-
posed to the shot. When about fofty-fye
or fifty yards apart the firm; begal. AL
phonse Reed fred first, each emptisd b 9TH
barrels Of bis CUR, and the shots we're
all fred rapidly. Neither man fell, and
Alphonse Reed was not touched, but at
the first fire he put two shots into Adam
Reeds chest, just under the right nip
pie, and one in the left side Of the chin,
which came out at the back corner of
the lower jaw. His wounds are re-
garded as mortal. lie has assured the
authorities that it was fair fight it
was insisted upon by him, and he does
not wish his brother prosecuted for
shooting him.

correspondence OF the Richmond Dispatchl
DUHAM, n. G., July 3, 1886.
In a former letter a few extracts
from the report on statistics to the
Government were given. These valua-
tions were gotten up by the Common
wealth Club, which is composed Of near
" all our principal businessmen, but
they so far exceeded those made by one
of our neighboring towns of more than
double our population that they were
somewhat discredited, and the report
was copied as floating item. 1t is in
deed hard to realize the almost fabu-
lous growth Of this enterprising town,
and many abroad are surprised at the
numerous interests here represented.
Very few Of our own citizens are aware
of the amount of exports from Dur
ham to foreign countries, and yet for a
small town of less than 5000 inhabi-
tsnts and little over twenty years old,
our business abroad is worthy Of notice.
For the first six months Of this year
we find that l0, 100000 cigarettes, over
100000 pounds of smoking-tobacco and
600,000pounds ofleaf tobacco have been
exported to foreign countries. II is a
matter OF interest also to note that our
productions find access to very many
Of the largest and most remote markets
of the world. Our cigarettes and
smoking goods 90 to Canada, England,
Scotland, Sweden, Holland, Germany,
South Africa, Hindoostan, Japan, New
Zealand, Australia, Hawaii or Sand
wich Islands, Tasmania, West Indies,
General America, Mexico, Brazil, and
Buenos Ayres. We are therefore con-
tributing not only to the trade of the
United States, but the world is open to
US, and very few countries can be
named where Durham tobacco is not
known. Our leaf tobacco finds ready
sale in England and Germany, and even
France is large purchaser of
our leaf. Our domestic trade in
cigarettes and smoking-tobacco
Is by no means inconsiderable.
One day this week a company here
shipped $4,000 pounds of granulated
tobacco and 100000 cigarettes. This
required four shipping. clerks and thir-
ty-four hands the whole day to load
this shipment on the cars. Another
concern has nearly reached the enor-
nous amount Of 10000 cigarettes
daily, and confidently expects to ship
100000 daily In short time. The
trade Of all our factories is on the in
crease, and as the years come and go
and our goods become known abroad
We will require more Of the leaf, aud
this must always continue to be the
tobacco market Of this State.
A subscription.list Is being circulated
for the support Of our Graded School,
and its success may now be considered
sure. Professor e. W. Kennedy, the
able and successful superintendent, will
he retained by the trustees for another
term.
