ISA. ILLEDGEVILLE,
TUESDAY. SEPTEMBER 26,1871.
Dueling still Lives.
The Augusta Constitutionalist of the
19th iust., details ‘an affair of Honor’
which occurred in that vicinity—but up
on South Carolina soil—at Graniteville,
on Sunday morning, S o’clock the I7tb,
which was put through in the regular,
old-fashioued style, almost within sight
ot tLe time-Lonorcd fields of glory, where
feats of ilk renown are chronicled upon
nearly every acre, and, in some of which
our brother of the Constitutionalist, if we
mistake not, might say ‘pars fui! We
rejoice to see, however, that he has lived
to an age when he can advise against
the propriety, necessity or usefulness of
the practice; and when he can cast his
moral feelings together with the dictates
of his maturer reason and experience,
agaiDstthe impulses of the passions which
wildly and biindly act in subservience
to the rules of a code that impels to
precipitancy of action and the most un-
fortunate results, without recovering any
right or subverting any wrong—a mere
wager of battle without even the excuse
or aid of the superstitious sentiment
which onco justified its usage. The
quaint romance of chivalry—its mytho
logical achievements and daring, airy
nothingness—ought to be played out;
and would be if men reflected before de
ciding, or would consent to be governed
by the general voice rather than the in
dividual suggestion,
“Reputation—that’s man’s idol
Set tip against God, the maker of all laws—
Who hath commanded us we should not kill,
And yet we say we must, for reputation !
What honest man can either fear his own
Or else, will hurt another's reputation?
Fear to do base, unworthy things is valor:
If they be done to us, to suffer them
Is valor too ”
No one will admit that he seeks to
take the life of his fellow man under the
fiction of honor, that he may thereby
evade the law’s penalty for murder ; nor
will any one allow that he aims for the
advantage which superior skill or famil
iarity with the use of weapons not nn-
frequeutly promises; yet he deems a
‘crack’ or a ‘thrust’ imperative, to bind
np his wounded sensibilities or to save
from tarnish his proud escutcheon—vis
ions that float in the atmosphere of
heated or illy trained iainds, and no
where else ! But is success, even under
such aspects, inevitable? On the contra
ry, is there not as often an adjourned
question, or a deeply regretted termina
tion which inflicts its stings and imbues
its perpetrators in the depths of undying
remorse ?
There is a way to break up Dueling,
if the right sort of men would take it in
hand ; and they who have indulged the
habit are the ones to initiate that way.
Generally 6peakiDg, there is no difficul
ty in forming associations to repress
evils which deform or disturb the fair
proportions of the social system ; and of
all the monstrous inconsistencies that
call for like aid, Dueling demands an
effort. Men will differ, and their pas
sions will instigate collisions: but after
a few cases have been subjected, by mu
tual agreement, to the ordeal of disinter
ested interference and amicable settle
ment, scarcely any one will deride efforts
that shield his honor equally with hi 8
rights, or that hold up the wrongs he
may hastily have imposed upon another,
solely for the purpose of having them
honorably recanted. If, however, pride
or obstinacy contemns both reason and
friendly remonstrances, the dernier resort
of legal prosecution in the State where
the combat takes place, should be per
sistently and firmly substituted. A Court
of Honor is but a Court of Justice, and
oftenest the justest of the two. The law
of extradition should also attach by com.
ity; or failing in that, through positive
statutory enactments. There is nothing
truer than what the old axiom asserts—
‘wherever there is a will there is a way/
possible, that no regular and timely
ly statements are rendered, properly au
dited and certified, to the Heads of the
different Departments, at Washington,
and that these defalcations and embez
zlements are only brought to light when
more is asked for to be similarly made
way with ? But we are informed that,
“tbe Treasury and War Departments
are endeavoring to shift the response
bility for Hodge’s defalcation!” while '
he, honest and unfortunate man, ’‘asks
for leniency and begs a small provision
for his family.” We pity his wife and
children—we sympathise with all his
kindred far and near—but they should
never have been so indelicately associ
ated with his iulamy,—albeit beggary is
allowed many strings to its bow.
Another illustration, how crime is fos
tered in our country, may be taken from
the recent explosion of the Union Tor
pedo Works, near Fulton Street, New
York, by which many lives were sacri
ficed and much private and unconnected
property destroyed : After the accident,
every body knew and all confessed, that
the works of the Union Torpedo Com
pany "were carried, on in direct violation
of law /” But somebody made lots of
money, and some were handsomely feed
to keep all dark ; and so of hundreds and
thousands of illicit operations all over
the land—run in defiance of the laws
and winked at, yea participated in by
the sworn agents of tbe Government!
How the Swindlers Manage!
One Major Hodge, an officer under
Grant’s administration, finding all fur
ther dodging useless, and a losi of time—
confesses to having misappropriated on
ly $450,000 of government money—but
says he had ‘help’ from a banking honse
in New York, that knew the monoy fur
nished by him for their joint speculation,
was money belonging to the Govern
ment. What self-extenuation! How
thoughtful the Major is after the thief
has stolen the horse : But seriously : it
is astonishing and savors of a participa
tion in the fraud, why these Government
employees are suffered to keep on hand
so much idle aud unnecessary cash, that
they have time and opportunity allowed
them to use it for private speculation
ftud as individual capital. Can jt he
The Kentucky Agricultural College.
Is very flourishing, and very popular.
Its Military department very strict and
its farming work, honest and earnest on
205 acres of crop. The course of edu
cation is extensive and noble. Ten
Professors conduct eleven departments
of learning, besides the Horticultural
and Agricultural Schools proper. Her
farm and houses, to start with, cost
$100,000, besides all the ready money
for outfit and Professors. The Legisla
ture was very liberal and showed their
respect for the greatest interest of the
people, by large appropriations to set
the College on a strong foundation.
Kentucky received 330,000 acres of
United States land, and sold it for
49 9-10 cents per acre, makiug $184,-
000. Georgia gets but 270,000 acres,
and Gov. Brown values it at 75 cents
per acre, or $202,000. The Presbyte
rian Church at Milledgeviilo offer to
give the State as much or more than
Congress gives; Her Oglethorpe Col*
lege and fifty acres are worth more than
the United States land, and about as
far out of Milledgeville as the Kentucky
Colledge is out Lexington. A few thou
sand? of dollars and proper Mechanics
could have all repairs, paiutiug 6cc.,
done up in two months, and ready for
the School to open, by time the Profes
sore can get settled. The State ought
to be sure to get this valuable old Col
ledge while the Church offers it. The
only^condition asked is, that the State
shall locate at least a part of the Agri
cultural College there, or all of it, if tb
State choose. That would be a good
plan, as it is in sight of Milledgeville,
and then the State House and Governor’s
House would still be on hand as the seat
of Government, aud the Capitol could
come right back to Milledgeville. Let
the Legislature be wise, accept of the
gift of Oglethorpe College for the Agri
cultural and Military College, and hold
onjto the old Capitol and bring back the
seat of Government to Milledgeville.
The Germans and France,
There are those who thought that one
result of tbe victory of the Germans, in
the recent war, would be to hasten that
general disarmament to which all lovers
of peace look forward so anxiously. This
idea prompted many to hope for German
success. It was said that the Germans
were the assaulted nation, that the Ger
man armaments have always been kept
up because of the threatening attitude
and armaments of Fiance, and that the
defeat of the latter power, ridding the
world of the perpetual Napoleonic men
ace, would be the signal for the nations
to reduce their forcos, and establish
themselves on a “peace basis.” This re
sult has not, unhappily, followed. Ger
many, instead of disarming, has been re
arming and reorganizing her forces ever
since the peace. Never were her can
non-forges, her military workshops, so
active as they now are. New systems of
arms are already being introduced among
be German soldiers ; the Dreyse gnn is
to be superceded by a yet more destruc
tive weapon, tbe Werderriflo; a new
cannon, eclipsing the grunting mitrail
leuse—tbe Krupp, which is 6aid to be
capable of beatiLg down a strong for
tress at cine miles’ distauce—is being
constructed. The forges at Essen have
been enlarged, and fitted up with new
and stupendous machinery. Moreover,
the fortresses on the French and Austri
an frontiers are being rapidly repaired,
and new ones erected. The world is not,
then, to be taught that it is secure by
German example. It inevitably follows
from this warlike activity of the victori
ous empire that all other nations must
hold themselves in readiness for defence.
The vital and material forces of the peo
ples must still be exhausted, year by
year, in this distressing and burdensome
suspense. Already, France, slowly and
with difficulty recuperating, and once
more acquiring settled government aud
the sway of law, is providing means to
defend herself from further invasion, and
to again take an important military part
in the events of Europe. Neither a con
stitution, nor a definite public policy, nor
education, nor a comprebeusive finan
cial system, has yet been voted ; fore
most comes this necessity, in the eyes of
French statesmen, to reconstruct a large
standing army, to devise new methods of
organization and di ill, to repair forts, and
to raise military taxes. General Trochu
recommends a regular army of half a
million; General Ladmirault shakes his
hoary head, and thinks France cannot
be defended with le^s than eight hun
dred thousaud regulars, compulsory ser
vice of all men of 21 for seven years,
and a reserve of a million ; Gambetta
and Thiers think the adoptiou of the
Prussian system—a hard, grinding, ty
rannical system, after all is said, and
one which must grievously burden the
nation saddled with it—absolutely im
perative on France. If we look beyond
the two recent belligerents, we find, a-
mong tbe other European States, the
same hopeless devotion to increased ar
maments, the same martial activity, the
same resolution to stand armed and c-
quipped for any emergency which may
arise. liussia’s military preparations are
unflagging aud constant. Austria, Ita
ly and Turkey, are sinking, year by year,
into a deeper slough of debt, aud has
tening toward bankruptcy, in order to
maintain this incubus of a large stand
ing army. England feels the stress of
the fashion, aud the war minister of our
British cousins breathes confident pre*-
dictions at public festivals that, when
the expected crisis comes, her majesty’s
forces will be found equal to the occa
sion. All of which leads ns to renew
our self-gratulation that we are far dis
tant from European squabbles and rival
ries, and need neither fear nor bo jealous
of the neighbors across our borders.
take care to have our conduct and mo
tives fully understood by our Northern
friends. We should say to them, that we
are actuated solely by tbe desire to pro
mote the success of Democratic priuci
pies and Democratic candidates; that
we wish to leave them free to act, as the
best interests of our party demaud ; and
that we pledge the in iu the contest all the
arJ we caa give, only asking them to
give us a good platform, and as accept
able candidates as they can When
the platform is announced, and the can
didates selected, the Democracy of the
South can ratify the action of tbe Na
tional Convention, aud they can use ev
ery effort t) secure the success of the
party ; for on :ts success depends the
existence of the Southern States.
If our people concur in this policy,
arrangements should be made in each
State to carry it out fully and effectual
ly. Should they not concur, we must,
in any event, act in perfect accord, and
with entire harmony.
Too much is at stake for us to differ
among ourselves, and I for one am wil
ling to yield my own opinions for the
success of any plan which will tend to
save the South from ruin.
I am very respectfully and truly yours,
Wade Hampton.

Criminal Court-
To the Legislature of Georgia :
You are soon to meet. Tb6 jails of
Georgia are full, and will certainly stay
so, for we have 500,000 free negroes be
sides the criminal whites. We must
have, not more Courts, but more Sessions;
more work out of our Judges. Nobody
wants District Courts ; they are hated
by]thc people, and ought to be ; and
Bullock’s attempt to organize them as
he did, without the advice and consent
of the Senate, was itself a high crime)
an usurpation, a conspiracy against the
State. The people do not want petty
Courts, and ignorant tyrants, with near
ly boundless power of fine and impris
onment. Give us able Courts, learned
in the law of liberty, exalted iu moral and
personal character, and above suspicion.
The Superior Court Judges are enough.
Pay them well, and make them hold
Court all the time. Two Courts a year,
as at present for civil business ; but
Quarter Sessions, at least for Criminal
business. Some of our Superior Court
Judges now getting $2,500, in gold, hold
Court only fourteen weeks or less, out of
fifty-two-in a year. Make them held
Quarter Sessions, to keep the jails emp
ty ; or have a special Criminal Judge,
for every Circuit, equal in learning to
the civil Judge, and riding the same
Circuit quarterly, like English Judges.
The first plan is best, and has least pa
tronage. Lex.
Widespread Ravages of tin Cholera
in Russia.—New York, September 16.—
A correspondent waiting from Berlirr,
August 3l, says that the most melan
choly intelligence comes from Russia con
cerning the progress of the cholera in
that country. The disease does not
seem to have exhausted its virulence
much, though in some places there was
a slight diminishing of the number of
deaths. European Russia is entirely
overrun by the disease.
Destitution and uncleanliness, the
busy handmaids every where of disease,
have in Russia an ally more powerful
even than they, superstition. A large
proportion of the people’s food consists
of sour, half fermented eatables and
drinkables. A comprehensive change
must be made before a normal state of
health can be attained and tbe epidemic
kept in check. Tbe cattle plague, is
reported to be again appearing in South
ern Russia.

Gen. Wade Hampton on the Situation.
The following letter, addressed by
Gen. Hampton to the editor of the South
ern Home, is published in that paper iu
its issue of the 19th :
Columbia, September 9, 1871.
My Dear Sir.—The Southern Home,
of the 5th instant, containing your edi
torial on the policy to be pursued by tbe
Southern States iu reference to tbe next
National Democratic Convention, reach
ed me a day or two ago, and along with
it the letter in which you were kind
enough to ask my opinion on this ques
tion. Though 1 cannot flatter myself
that any opinions l may entertain can
have the weight your partiality would
induce you to attach to them, I most
cheerfully comply with the request con
tained in your letter, because it is only
by consultation and discussion among
ourselves that we can hope to act judi
ciously and harmoniously.
It would perhaps be sufficient to say
that I concur fully iu the views you
have expressed, as to the impropriety of
the South taking any part in the ap
proaching Convention ; but, iu defer
ence to your wishes, I give briefly the
reasons which have induced this convic
tion in my mind.
1st. The Southern Delegates in a Na
tional Convention could exeicisc no in
fluence in shaping the policy, making up
the issues, or selecting cand.date3 for the
next contest, without seriously injuring
the prospect of a Democratic triumph.
That this would iuevitably be the case,
is proven by the result of the last Dem
ocratic Convention, where the very pres
ence of Southerners was used to preju
dice the action and defeat the candi
dates cf our party.
2d. If the Soutbern Delegates could
not with propriety exert any influence
in the convention, while their mere at
tendance in it might result in infinite
mischief to the Demcratic party, it is
surely the part of wisdom to refrain from
participating in the deliberations of the
Convention.
3d. The Northern Democracy will
have to bear tbe burthen of tbe fight in
the next Presidential contest, and it is
only right that they should choose (he
field and select the standard-bearers.
These, in brief, are the reasons, in con
junction with those you have already so
ably advanced, that havo convinced me
that our true policy is to abstain alto
gether from all participation in the next
National Democratic Convention. Of
coarse, in pursuing this policy, we should
Sudden Death of an Entire Family.—
The Wilmington (N. C.) Journal, of
Saturday, says: “From a gentleman who
arrived here yesterday, we learn that an
entire family in Faison’s Township, Du
plin county, died very recently, aud un
der such peculiar circumstances, that
tbe neighbors have suspected foul play,
and have therefore taken measures to
have the matter thoroughly investigated.
On the evening of tbe 6th inst.,*Mr. Ex
urn Morris, the father of the family, was
taken veiy suddenly ill with burning
pains across his stomach. He rapidly
grew worse and expired the next day.
On the 9th, Mrs. Maciune Morris, his
wife, aged 40, also died, having suffered
in a similar manner. On the 11th, a
child named Ruth, daughter of the a-
bove, and aged only 8 months, was taken
ill and died, and on the 13th, Charles,
6on to the above couple, aged 4 years,
also died.
There were natural grounds for sus
picion, and tbe stomachs of the two chil
dren were taken out and given in charge
of Dr. D. M. Buie, ot this city, for the
purpose of making an analysis of their
contents.
Mr. Exum was an old and highly re
spected citizen of Duplin county, aud
the sudden decease ot himself and fami
ly has cast a deep gloom over the sur
rounding section. Tbe neighbors, in
general, believe that tbe entire family
were poisoned, and there are strong sus
picions, we understand, of those who
committed the horrible deed. ’
Hon. Jack Hamilton, ex Governor ol
Texas, says the Macon Telegraph, is a-
bout as well qualified to pronounce an
opinion upon tire character of the Texas
trewly loyl as any ma*i we kuow. He
used to be ‘‘in” with them. Well, here
is what he says about the creatures who
make up tho majority of the so-called
Legislature of that State :
“I never saw a man give one cf them
a dollar for his vote, nor did I ever see
them steal anything. But when we see
a poor, miserable cuss, who never had
$150 in his life, come to Austin, borrow
money to pay his expenses, and pres
ently find him losing a thousand dollars
in a night at faro, driving around in a
fancy team, making liquor bills, wine
bills, and all sorts of bills, and buying a
buggy and fine horses to go home in, we
know lie is a thief as well as if wo had
seen him steal.”
Tho Bainbridge Sun, cl the 16th.
says: “From all sections of our county
come gloomy reports about the condition
of the crops since the late storm and
raiu. All the 1 >\v lands have been sub
merged, aud the crops thereon almost
totally destroyed. It is very unfortu
nate for tho prosperity of our section that
such is the case, but there is no getting
around it—the damages to a great ex
tent are irreparable.
The Talbotton American says the corn
crop of that section will be short, and not
a half crop of cotton cau be made, now.
