The Duel Between Judge Terry and
Senator RrOderick In California in
1859.
The following account of the famous
duel, and the circumstances that led
up to it, is taken from the Atchison
Globe:
David s. Terry was the son-in-law
of United States Senator GWin. David
Broderick was also a United States
senator. The two senators, while both
democrats, belonged to opposing wings
of the party, and an impending cam
paign for supremacy was on at the
time of the duel. The KanSas-NebraS-
ka act was a subject that had disturbed
the entire country for several years,
and it was the bitterness of feeling
growing out of this discussion that led
to the duel. The real cause which
brought about the duel was not poll
tics, although politics was the cause of
the hatred existing between the two
men. The challenge was sent because
Broderick, at breakfast in the old In
ternational hotel, on Jackson street, in
San Francisco, had made statements
rejecting upon the Gwin family. A
friend ofdhe OWNS and Terry took it
up, and offered duel. BrOderick de-
clined with this man, but said he would
fight his equal. The Islander reached
Mrs. Terry, who demanded that her
husband should take it up. Terry,
who hated Broderick, did not object,
and sent a challenge. Broderick ac-
cepted, but said he would not fix the
date until after the compaign. The
duel was fought in September, 1859.
Broderick fired first, the hair trigger
pulling off too soon, and bullet lodged
in the ground, but exactly in line with
Terry. Terry's bullet went straight to
the mark. The delay demanded by Brod-
erick made it a subject of elaboration,
and it was nothing less than murder.
Had Broderick killed Terry it would
still have been none the less murder.
Terry was not the bad and vicious man
before this act that he has since been
painted. He was at the time of the
duel chief Justice of the supreme court
of California, and Broderick, the man
he killed, had said of him that he was
the most honest judge that ever sat on
the California bench. Justice Field,
who was conspicuous in Wednesdays
tragedy, was associated with Terry on
the bench at that time. 1t was subse-
quent ostraciSm that made him the
morose and bad man that he was in
later years. Broderick was not so good
a man as Terry. He was an adYentur
er. He went to California from New
York city. He was discovered IN the
slums of that city by an editor. The
editor saw ability in the man, and
helped him to sort of an education.
BrOderick then went to California, and
as he bid his friends good bye at New
York harbOr said he would not return
until he could return as a senator of
the United States.-From the recollec-
tions of an Atchison citizen who lived
in California during the Frederick
Terry period.

From the most reliable figures which
can be obtained it appears that the
Cheltenham beach demonstration in
honor of Or. Cronin exceeded the Og-
denis grove picnic in numbers, receipts
and enthusiasm in about the proportion
of two to one. The receipts of the Og-
denis grove picnic were 81 OBJ so. This
includes money paid for privileges and
other funds. The total expense ac-
count will amount to from 81 800 to
81, 900, leaving a PROBABLE balance of
about S2,200. If the announced pur-
pose of the demonstration is carried
out this money will be sent to Charles
Stewart Parnell. The exact receipts
of the Cheltenham beach demonstra-
ton have not yet been aScertained,
but enough is known to warrant the
statement that they will more than
double those of the Ogden grove pic
mic. The railroad company received
30 of the SO cents charged for round

4 AIBBLE FROM THE RECORD

The Editor of the Record has been
INDUCING this week in some depreci-
alive fancies respecting the public
printing OF Anne Arundel county.
The animus of all this is transparent
and the ostrich whose eyes are shut
and whose head is buried in the sand
reed not flatter itself that thereby
his neighbors are deceived. The tac-
tics Of the campaign have been to de-
preciate the economy and good man
agement of the present board of Coun-
ty Commissioners. When they save
the county moneys by close business
contracts it suits the purpose Of their
defamers to intimate poor work and
sham economy. But, with rejecting
people, whose taxes are diminished
and whose interests are substantially
furthered by this economy in the
public business, these innuendos will
have very little weight. "Honor to
whom honor is DUE" and let the pres.
ent board of County Commissioners
have their fair and merited share. OF
the $l100 referred to by the Record as
the total cost of county printing, the
amount of $3.50 was done by the Re-
PUBLICAN. The balance was done by
the Record and other Offices. In SLAM
dering its neighbors the Record has
let fly boomerang to smite itself with.
The folly which originates such a
campaign document will be punished
after the homely but deserved fashion
described in the adage, "chickens
come home to roost." A gentleman
who expects so soon to take his seat
in the House of Delegates should not
begin his career by slandering his
would be constituents. It is both bad
morals and bad policy.
