The Benneft-'VI.iy Du*!.
After a whole week’s cacklibg Oder
tire Bennett-May duel, and filling the
telegraphies fipjunrns i>nd vHele-wawea-
^f^i^Y^wspapers with reports, rti>
mut’6 and specnfatioi s about the af
fair, the public are still without re
liable information in regard to the
Bet mop.-May duel. It has been re
potted that from one to a half a dozen
shots were exchanged at ten paces;
that May was slightly wounded; that
lip was nvoi'fq.'!y wounded; that Ben
nett was wounded, and t/iat neither
of them was wounded; that Bennett
fired fn the air, and that lie dido’. fire
at all. And now the public lias pret
ty generallj come to the conclusion
that the affair was a ridiculous hnm-
bup—-that they fought no duel at all,
or ii they burnt arty powder, it was
only to 'get a little club-house noto
riety at the risk of being shot with
tsotk balls Some of the accomplices
Who have been attested maintain a
stoical reticeuep in regard to tliG af
fair, while the principles seem to have
po aessed all the qualifications of du
elists except one. The lack of that
missing ingredient still keeps them
mil of harm’s way.

disclosed and the evidence against

came as docile as a whipped spanidl.
He became utterly demoralized and
lost his memory entirely. He couldn’t
remember anything about it. He

vague recollection of ttie election, and
