was a perilous situation and one requir
ing great presence of mind. He has but
one leg, and used a wooden leg as a sub
stitute. This appendage he put between
the snake and himself, threw his other
leg some distance behind it, and awaited
the fatal spring. In a very few seconds
he heard the sound of the rattles, and saw
the snake rush towards him. His wooden
leg was struck, and the snake went its
full length beyond it. In an instant
Bennett's hand followed in the direction
of its head, and before it conld recover
from the spring, had it tightly grasped
around the neck and in his power. He
put his other hand in his pocket, took
out his knife, opened it through the as
sistance of the arm which held the snake,
and soon cut off its head. It proved a
very large rattlesnake, and Mr. Bennett’s
escape was truly miraculous.
FLORIDA.
Conservative Nominating Convention
Tampa.
At a Convention of delegates of tho
Conservative party of Hillsborough coun
ty, held in Tampa, Fla., Saturday, Sep
tember 12th, 1874, Col. M. G. Anderson,
of Clearwater, was called to the chair,
and Win, C. Brown elected Secretary.
The business of the Convention being
principally the nomination of a candidate
to represent Hillsborough county in the
next General Assembly, Col. Anderson, of
Clearwater, proposed the name of our
late tried and true Bepresentative, H.
L. Mitchell, and was seconded by Joseph
B. Wall, Esq. The Convention then pro
ceeded to ballot, and Hon. H. L. Mitchell
was chosen on the first ballot without a
dissenting vote. The Committee on Beso-
lutions made the following report, which
was unanimously adopted:
Resolved, By the Conservative party of
Hillsborough county, in convention as
sembled:
First. That the preservation and per
petuation of our liberties as Americans is
the highest duty of the citizen.
Second. That equality before the law
is the essence and spirit of our Bepubli-
can Government, and this equality means
in its broadest sense a full guarantee and
protection to the citizen of his rights,
liberties and property, bnt has no refer
ence to the social status of individuals or
classes, and the effort of any party or
power to regulate social intercourse, the
modes, forms, times or places of public
worship, the rights of burial or*the man
ner of public education, is au usurpation
and invasion of sacred rights that will
not be tolerated.
Third. That we recognize freedom Of
speech and the liberty of the press as
fundamental principles of free govern
ment, and therefore wo unqualifiedly de
nounce the arbitrary and infamous meas
ure popularly known as the “Poland gag
law,” as despotic in its tendency and sub
versive of the elements of true republi
canism.
Fourth. That we endorse the platform
of the Conservative and Democratic party*
of tho First Congressional District of
Florida as laid down by their Conven
tion of the .18th ult. That we feel
thankful for the recognition of the party
in this county by the nomination of our
fellow-citizen, Hon. Jno. A. Henderson,
for Bepresentative to Congress, and
pledge to the party our unanimous sup
port of their nominee.
Fifth. That we favor the adoption of
the constitutional amendments prepared
at the last session of the Legislature, be
lieving that their adoption will decrease
the expenditure necessary to the support
of the State government, and thereby
materially reduce the rate of taxation.
Sixth. That in the future, as in the
past, we will vote for principles, and not
for men, and that the people of Hillsbor
ough, who oppose radicalism, os it is prac
ticed in the appointment and continuance
iu office of objectionable men over the
protest of the Senate, as it is sustained
by the advocates of the passage of the
civil rights bill, and by the friends of ex
travagance and profligacy iu the adminis
tration of public affairs, will swell their
usual majorities for their candidates in
the election of their Bepresentative to
Congress, their State Senator aud their
member of the Assembly to twice that
number which has heretofore made her a
banner county.

HANDS OFF!
Governor Brown, of Tennessee, Protests
Against Federal Interference, and De
mands that the Arrested Parties be
Turned Over to the State Authorities.
Governor Brown on Thursday sent the
following telegram to President Grant in
regard to Federal interference in the
Gibson county affairs:
Executive Department, )
Nashyim-e, Tenn., Sept. 18,1874.jT
Hi* Excellency, XI. S. Grant, President of
the United Slates, Washington, J). C.:
There were sixteen negroes committed
to the jail of Gibson county, in this
State, charged with a conspiracy to take
the lives of the white citizens of their
neighborhood. On the night of the 25th
of August, 1874, a party of disguised men
violated the jail and took these prisoners,
forcibly, from the jailer, and killed four
8n d wounded two—the remainder es
caping and being now at large. The next
day I offered a reward of $500, each, for
those unknown offenders. The State
Court being then in session, took imme
diate cognizance of the outrage, and the
labors of the regular and special terms
haye resulted in the detection and indict
ment of forty-one* of tho guilty parties,
the majority of whom have been arrested,
and the remainder will be, if they have
not fled the conntry.
They are indicted under the second and
third sections of the act of the General
Assembly of Tennessee of 18C9-70, passed
the 30th of January, 1870, “entitled “An
act to preserve the Public Peace.” The
sections are as follows:
“2. Be it further enacted. That if any
person or persons disguised or in mask,
by day or by night, shall enter upon the
premises of another, or demand entrance
or admission into the honse or enclosure
of any citizen of this State, it shall be con-
sidered prima facia that his or her inten
tion is to commit a felony, and such a de
mand shall be deemed an assault with in
tent to commit a felony; and the person
or persons so offending shall, upon con
viction, be punished by imprisonment in
the penitentiary not less than ten years
nor more than twenty years.
“3. Be it further enacted, That if any
person or persons, so prowling, traveling,
riding or walking through the towns or
country of this State masked or in dis
guise, shall or may assault another with a
deadly weapon, he or they shall be deem
ed guilty of an assault with intent to com
mit murder in the first degree, and on
conviction thereof, shall suffer death by
hanging; provided the jury trying the
cause may substitute imprisonment, in
the penitentiary for a period of not less
than ten years nor more than twenty-one
years.”
The State authorities have manifested
the most earnest desire to enforce the law
against the guilty parties, and have de
monstrated by these indictments and ar
rests not only their disposition, bnt abil
ity to enforce the law and protect all cit
izens without rcgaid to race, color orpre-
vious condition of servitude. These ef
forts, I can assure you, will in no sense
be relaxed, until the majesty of the law is
fully vindicated.
Notwithstanding these efforts with the
results stated, the United States Marshal
aDd Commissioner for the Western Divis
ion of Tennessee, with the aid of detach
ments from the government garrison at
Humboldt, have arrested and are con
tinuing to arrest citizens, and conveying
them under guard to Memphis, nearly
one hundred miles distant, to answer
for the same offense charged against
them by the State courts.
As Governor of Tennessee, I do most
respectfully but earnestly protest against
this exercise of jurisdiction .by the United
States Commissioner and Marshal, with
out reference to the question whether
the offenses are proper subjects cf cog
nizance by the United States Commis
sioner, but alone upon the ground that
the peace of society will be more certainly
preserved and the rights of citizens ns
well protected by conceding jurisdiction
to the State courts.
And I therefore respectfully ask your
Excellency to order that no further ar
rests be made by the Marshal, and that
the parties already in custody be turned
over to the proper local tribunals for
trial and punishment.
I undertake to assure your Excellency
that no effort will be spared to enforce
the laws and protect the citizens by the
State government throughout the borders
of ibis State. And I believe the local
authority is ample to protect people of
every race and condition of life.
An early roply is respectfully solicited.
John Cl Brown,
Governor of Tennessee.
To this dignified, manly and noble pro
test Grant sends a curt reply, iu which,
no doubt under the advice of the head of
the Department of Injustice, he insists
upon his Imperial prerogative, the right
or power of “concurrent jurisdiction,”
which his armed minions are now en-.
forcing in a manner worthy of his Im
perial brother of Bussia. Grant’s reply
to Gov. Brown closes with the following
blow at State soveriegnty and the right
of local State government. He says:
No special order has been given, to
Federal officers in Tennessee, further
than the order of September 3 of the
“4.bout 4 o’clock-the
were statiojied-Oa Cams! StnaeAy QUbWOg. Attorney General, which is general in its
with about two hundred men and one gun
were stationed on the north side of the
Custom House, commanding Tchoupitou-
las street. The other division, about 250
strong and commanded by Gen. A. S. Bad
ger in person, with four guns, occupied
the south side of the Custom House. At
4:15 Badger, with his men and guns,
marched forward on tho levee. The other
body of police prepared to support him,
but being fired on when near Common
street, they returned to* their old quar
ters near the Custom House. The Bad
ger army' kept on until they had almost
reached Gtavier street, and ensconced
themselvei behind some bales of hay
Suddenly a volley, or rather a dozen vol-
luys. were . .red on them, some from the
buildings, s -me from the street, and com
panies A, B, and E, of the Crescent City
White League,headed by Gen. Ogden and
Captains Buck, Gallagher, nnd W. B.
Pleasants, chMged upon the Me
tropolitans in the mo3t gallant and
noble manner. They received the fire
of (he Metropolitans without flinching,
and kopt straight on in their charge.
Seeing this the Metropolitans wavered,
scattered and rushed off towards the Cus
tom House. A volley of the citizens
brought down eighteen men at the first
fire, all of them seriously injured, those
slightly wounded making off. Among
the fallen was Badger, who was vmnly
eudoavoring to rally his men. Badger
was mortally wounded, being shot through
the arm, leg and side. It is said that he
fired on his own men when he saw them
running, and that it was by his hand that
Corporal McManus fell. "When the citi
zens came up he surrendered and begged
for a mattress. This and other eomforis
were provided him. Gen. Badger’s wound
is serious, but not necessarily fatal. If
he dies it will be from loss of blood and
not from the wounds. He will certiinly
lose his leg. *

from Messrs. Penn and Ogden; through
their respective aids, after the White

tection to the office in case any violent
demonstrations were made thereon.
Mr. Gerrit Smith has issued a letter
entitled “Our first duty is * to k° e P down
the Democracy,” andfin it he says*. “I am
asked by one and another whether I am
in favor of a third term for Gen. Grant.
My invariable answer is that I am in fa

will add that the State and General Gov
ernments, as you aro well aware, may
have concurrent jurisdiction over the
same offense, as, for example, in cases of
■ counterfeiting; and the action of the
State authorities in such cases does not
prevent the General Government from
proceeding against the offenders.
One of Kellogg’s Scalawag Scoun
drels. — A specimen of the scalawag
scoundrels, whom the honest men of
Louisiana are trying to overthrow, is de
scribed by the Reporter of Mansfield, in
that State. His names are H. Lee and
W. S. Custer, and he is a Kellogg candi
date for State Senator. His origin is un
known in Louisiana, but he had not been
in Mansfield long before he was suspected
of horse stealing, and was proved to have
been accessory to the murder of a.man
named Bunnell, for which he narrowly
escaped lynching. He attempted to as
sail Hie virtue of a respectable young white
girl, besides breaking his wife’s arm with
a stack. Ho forged an order on a mer
chant for a bill of goods, and, according
to the Reporter, was guilty, during his
eight years’ residence in Mansfield, of a
hundred penitentiary offenses and a score
of capital crimes.. His culminating act
was to forge the names of a number of
respectable citizens to a paper calling
upon him to be a candidate for the Legis
lature. Now, the respectable citizens do
not like the forgery of their names, and
to escaue a horsewhipping, Caster, alias
Lee, moved in the night to Shreveport,
where he again turns up as a candidate
for office.
The Will or a Wealthy Spaniard.—
The will of Don Rartolome Blanco de
Lema, who lately died in New York city,
Vina been offered to be admitted to pro
bate. The testator is stated to have come
to this country from Spain about fifty
years ago, and to have amassed a fortune
of about $10,000,000, partly in the Have
trade. His income from rents alone
amounted to about $1,000 per day.

“contradiction” of the katydids into

iretty evenly divided on the question,

outnumbed by the ayes.— Graphic.

KELLOGG’S REGISTRATION.
One of the Trophies—How they Propose to
do it.
The following confidential circular was
captured in the State House, and we pub
lish it that the country and General
Grant may see how- the Bepublican party

of the fraud contemplated:
State of Louisiana, )
Office State Registrar of Voters,
New Orleans, Aug. 31, 1874. )
Circular No. 1.
(Strictly Confidential.)
To Supervisors <?/ Registration :
You are instructed to use your utmost
endeavors to cause a full registration of
all Republican voters in your parish, and
to especially encourage and assist the
registration of white Republican electors.
For this purpose you .will keep your office
open at the Court House for as short a
period as necessary, and then remove to
the localities most thickly populated by
colored voters, and give such noface in
advance (of course with great caution) os
will facilitate their presence at the time
of opening the books. The great in
timidation and oppression now being
practiced toward these classes render
these precautions absolutely necessary to
obtain a full registration and untram
melled vote.
You will also be particularly careful as
to the custody and safety of your books
and blanks, especially blank certificates
of registration and registry books. These
having been made expressly for this elec
tion, can only be replaced, in case of loss
or destruction, at great expense as well
as delay, and the fact of their destruction
or loss will undoubtedly be commented
upon by the opposition press and parti
sans as dereliction of duty upon the part
of this office and the Supervisors of
Registration.
Your attention is particularly called to
the weekly reports required by the “in
structions” from this office. You will
designate in these reports the number of
white and colored, with their probable
political affinities, to enable this office to
estimate approximately the vote that wiU
be casf..and its nature.

State Registrar of Voters.

Lessons of the Revolt.
The latest news from New Orleans con
firms our first impressions in regard to tho
probale result of the revolt—that it would
surrender to the Federal Government on
demand. Of course the old couplet wBl
occur to the mind of every one—
“If so soon I’m done for,
I wonder what I was began for."
Even with this result, it will prove to*
have been a very unfortunate affair. In
every aspect except that of cold and col.
lous law, it was a healthy and righteous
revolt. Its easy success proves this. Kel
logg may say it was a surprise; yet, let
him have three months notice to prepare
for hisdefence; with such Louisiana mate
rial as he can use, only, and we venture to-
say that a thousand men would dethrone
him in on hour. He has no material or
moral strength in Louisiana, and he ought
not to stay there, but go back to Illinois,
where he may be belter appreciated.
Notwithstanding he was thus powerless
in himself, Grant gave him power to con
trol absolutely, through the ballot End
the courts, the great element, which, in
another" form, so easily overwhelmed
him; and to this humiliating fact is likely*
to be added another equally discouraging,
that a people thus oppressed shall not be<
allowed to eat the fruits of a spontaneous:
and peaceful revolution. We say peace
ful, for the whole State was conquered hr
au hour, aud with no loss of life except
by a single fusilade with Longstreet’s-
negro police. These facts together teach
the lesson that justice is not to be ob
tained in a portion of this great and glori
ous country, either by peaceful or violent
means.
Another sad result is likely to bo tUe
inordinate inflation of the childish vanity
of the blockhead of Long Branch. Of.
course ho will claim the credit of putting;
down this second, third or fourth rebel
lion, according to different reckonings,
and claim imperial rewards therefor; and:
his third term convention, about to as
semble at Chattanooga, will doubtless put
him upon- this platform, and all the office
holders in the country will shout a load
amen. The effect will be exceedingly de
pressing to all aspirations for better gov
ernment elsewhere. We shall accustom
our people to submit quietly to the most
flagrant misrule, when they sec how
easily every remonstrance is throttled by
this imperial power at Long Branch.
If any valuable lessons are to be learn
ed, let us study them. It is not to be
disguised that we stood upon the verge of
a great disaster. The frenzied men of
New Orleans held the throttle valves of
our whole train. They seemed to be quite
in the humor to go to ruin, and to exult
that they had involved others in their own
calamities. We need not deceive our
selves—the tone of the press, and the up
ward start of the gold premium, that
most sensitive of the tests of our national
condition—shoys that the revolt contain
ed theelomentsof inconceivable mischief.

tion, who will be denounced as he is

lying about the South be stopped. The
New York Herald well says that there is
no more violence at the South than there
always has been—no more than elsewhere-
—and not so much as might be expected
under the peculiar conditions existing
since the war. This is true, and every
assertion to the contraiy is a malicious
falsehood, coined and circulated solely
for political uses. We can think of no
term suitable to characterize such wicked
ness, at a time when all the appliances of
conciliation are needed to promote- the
harmony of the States, tho people and
the races.
Outlaws Defying the Kentucky Au
thorities.—CoL W. L. Clark, Commond-
er-in-Chief of the Kentucky State troops,
yesterday received a telegram from the
Quartermaster General of the State, in
forming him that the outlaws in Breathitt
county have borrica^pd themselves in the
court house at Jackson in large numbers,
and ordering that all State military in the
city be ready to move at a moment’s
warning. In pursuance of this order
Cob Clark has two hundred m« in read
iness, and will take two pieces of artillery

A Young Fiend.—Sarah B. Reeves, a
colored girl, only ten years of age, has
been lodged in the Industrial School at
Trenton, N. J., having demonstrated that
she is too devilish to bo permitted to go
at large. For no assignable reason, she
emptied a vial of creosote into the coffee
pat of the family where she lived at
Crawford, with the purpose of poisoning,
all the members. The odor of the liquid
enabled the family to defeat the attempt
She is very precocious,-and seems to be in

The Murdered State.
The recent- popular convulsions in the
State of Louisiana have bnt opened to tho
public gaze one of the skeleton closets in
whieh’the Republican party has long vain
ly striven to hide thainangled and writhing
body of a half-murdered commonwealth.
But for this convulsive turning in her
bloody shroud the “Pelican State” might
have been supposed entirely dead alike
by her assassins and by those who have
mourned her liberticide. Drawing reso
lution from despair, her people seem to
have made this last frantic effort in the
hope of proving that they still retain
some sparks of civil life in their bleeding
body politic, and perhaps in the hope of
i establishing some claim on the sympathy
• of the American people by compelling
" their attention to the ghastly spectacle on
which they have so long closed their eyes
in criminal apathy and apparent indiffer
ence. .
We shall doubtless be told that, intol
erable as are the woes which have been
heaped on this peeled and stricken people,
they haYe only made their bed the harder
by this squirming under the knives of the
political 'Thugs who hold them by the
throat. We do not at all question the
-accuracy of ibis statement,' but when it
is made, and when the mere imprudence
of the late popular movement in Louisi
ana is fully conceded, it is but jnst to say
that this statement and this concession
only serve to set in a still clearer light
the enormity of the outrages to which
the Radical party has set its hand and
seal in this whole Louisiana business.
For the Radical party in the United
States, under the lead of President Grant,
and with the connivance of the dominant
majority in Congrees, is just as directly
responsible for these acts of desperation
committed Tiy the people of Louisiana as
for the original wrongs whichleft to them
no avenues of public life unclosed except
those which lead to popular insurrection.
The long suffering with which these af
flicted people hane endured the overthrow
of their civil right s and the spoliation of
their property sufficiently proves that the
late insurrection did not spring from any
spirit of giddiness or revolt against right
ful authority. There was no rightful au
thority in Louisiana w"henthe ( peoplerose
against their oppressors, for these op
pressors were usurpers—known and ac
knowledged *so be such the eve., rif tho
.nation. The crime of treason and of in
subordination. was made impossible by
the political situation which, with
out their consent, Rad been created
for the people of this’ hapless State.
The only thing possible .for them, in the
extremity to which they .have recently
been reduced, was either to c’ie and make
no sign or else to show, however impo-
tently nnd however impruden’tly, that
they still had the sensibilities of Ordinary
men to whom life and property nr.a dear.
The rights of freemen had long since
been taken from them by the reconstruc
tion acts of the Radical party, and this
spoliation they endured, if not with
equanimity, at least with patience; It iff
human nature and the most primary
maxims of public and of private right'
which have been insulted in the persons
of the Louisiana people, and the very im
prudence of their recent demonstration
only shows that human nature and the
most primary instincts of public and
private right will sometimes express
themselves against the counsels of reason,
for they have extorted from these people
the spasms which are now to be made the
pretext for extinguishing the last sparks
of civil liberty in a murdered State.
Grime has logic which is often as remorse
less as that of geometry. It was perhaps
fitting that the crime committed against
the State of Louisiana by the usurping
Kellogg, and to which a drunken Judge
of Louisiana and tho President of the
United States at 'Washington made them
selves accessories after the fact, should
go on to its predetermined catastrophe,
that tho enormity of the original outrage
may appear in its true lineaments to the
American people. The Radical party has
long been sowing the wind in the South
and leaving to the ruined people of that
section to reap the whirlwind. As for
President Grant, when he had once made
himself a prompt and willing accomplice
of Kellogg and Durell in the assassination
of this State, he had already stepped so
far in a wrong direction that
“should he wade no more,
Itetnreing were as tedious os go o’er.”
The people of Louisiana are greatly to
be commiserated in their forlorn and des
perate condition; but pitiable as that
condition is, it is less' pitiable than the
attitude which President Grant is now
compelled to take in the face of the
world, as, in obedience to the inexorable
logic of his original sin against the Louis
iana peoDle, he is now doomed to fasten,
on them the h andcuffs of Federal military
law that the thieves among whom they have
fallen may strip them at their leisure. To
this complexion it has come at last, and
it was fitting that his trne relations to
this disreputable aud wicked, business
should be brough-,t home to his own con
sciousness as well as to the consciousness
of the whole peop le. He bent his back
to bear the burden of Kellogg and Durell.
It was fitting that 1 lo should eke out the
poor remnant of . bis public life with a
fatal curvature of ' the spine resulting,
from the heavy load ie was so willing to
assume. \
Nor cau the Radii :aV majority in Con

To the Editor of the Hartford Times:
In the histoiy of the world we find that
a good many free governments have been
established, and finally overthrown. Vie
also find that the republics have been de
stroyed by usurpers, who have grasped
powers that their governments did not
confer upon them. With tho power
wrongfully taken, the usurpers have es
tablished despotic governments in the
places of the free or republican systems.
In the early republics, the parties in
office assumed powers which they had
no right to yield. Bnt they did not
plunge at once into despotic rule. They
usurped oue power after another;
they centralized power, taking from the
people a little here and a little there.
Every time they encroached upon public
rights they strengthened the central
power, and placed facilities in the hands
of those entrusted with the affairs of gov
ernment for completely destroying the
liberties of the people, who erred in not
checking the first encroachments upon
their rights, however small The usurpers
made despotic law by the de facto pro
cess—that is, by the fact of exercising
despotic powers. Constant and success
ful usage made the law. This was the
case in Georgia. The administration
wanted the fifteenth amendment ratified.
It wanted at least one more ratifying
State. It selected Georgia, and made a
Legislature for that State. Not being sat
isfied with the thing manufactured by
Gen. Terrry, they changed a dozen mem
bers, and then ordered them to ratify the
amendment. At the cannon’s mouth the
order was obeyed. But it wasn’t ratifi
cation by Georgia. It was simply ah
act of the military force. It is a de facto
ratification, and stands as such. In his
tory it will never appear well as a part of
the workings of a free government. But
it stands de facto. So do many despotic
acts. They shock the free system and
weaken it They have ruined past free
governments. President Grant declared
the Kellogg-Casey party the de facto gov
ernment of Louisiana, and sent the army
to help them. They had just been de
feated by the people. The President
would be inconsistent were he now to
abandon the party whom lie put into of
fice by the sword. He uses the whole
force of the United States army, money,
means of all sorts, to sustain the party
that he “recognised” as the de facto gov
ernment of -Louisiana. All this will not
read well in history. I mean after the
Republic is finished by such means, it will
not read well in connection with the idea
that our government was free when those
things occurred. If the people uphold
the administration in this bad business,
they will sanction an inroad upon their
liberties which is not to stop. Tho plan
adopted by the President to subjugate
Louisiana is bandy for aiding tbe growth
and power of despotic rule. It is a good
thing for the third term business. If the
President can recognize a defeated party
os the government of a State, because
they are his political friends, and sustain
them by the army, the day will not be
distant when the President will hold the
jveople in his band and rule them at will.
O.ir decay, as a free government, will be
more rapid than that of the earlier re
publics’. The readiest and the deadliest
scheme that can be devised to destroy
the republic of the United States is that
practised by President Grant in the case
of Louisi ana. I can conceive of no other
so sure and certain. It is a powerful ally
of the thild term plot. A Liberal.

And, lastly, we take leave to say ;that

must bear their share in the crow nil ig
wrong wlilch* has come to put its ffsap *-

private iniquity. They, too, have looked
on with folded hands while their neigh
bor’s house was entered by robb srs.
They have not much cared what ba»^ell
their brethren’of white blood in Loui si-
ana, bnt have reserved all their sympat. ^y
for “the loyal blacks.” Many among as
have exulted in the unparalleled rgtlim ti
tles and humiliations’ to which the late i in
surgents have been subjected at the han* Is
of their mercenary oppressors. All sue ih
people have made themselves accomplice s
with Kellogg and Durell and Casey an d
Longstreet and Grant in • the murde r
of this fallen State. But for a de *
pfaved public sentiment at the North
these outrages at the South would be im
possible. Bobbery at New Orleans and.
compounding with robbery at Washing
ton plant their roots in a vitiated politi

better judgment of the popular mind.
When that brilliant journalist, the late*
John Hampden Pleasants, of Virginia,
yielding-to the temper of his times, had‘-
risked his life in a duel, and fallen at the*
hand of his antagonist, a vast concourse*

officiating clergyman on the sad occasion,
startled his hearers from their propriety*
by opening his funeral discourse with.
these significant words: “ Here lies our v
