Is Duelling Really Barba
rous ?
We have decided to say a few
words on this subject, which seems
lately to have occupied so much of
the time of the courts. We confess
that we feel sincere regret that the
framers of our new Constitution saw
fit to make such stringent regulation
against what, in derision, our latter
day reformers are pleased to sneer at
as the “Code.of Honor.” It was a
sad thing to bo overcome in battle
and forced to surrender our arms to the
conqueror, but a sadder day aw’aits us
when we shall allow the customs of our
enemies to be engrafted on our socie
ty, causing the civilization which was
once our pride and boast, to give way
to their so called higher law civiliza
tion.
The civilization that will make war
upon gaming at Faro Bank and Rou
lette, but hold in high esteem the
rascal w ho successfully robs a corpora
tion or ruins the unsophisticated by
stock gambling and futures. The
civilization that argues that female vir
tue that can be seduced is not worth
protecting. A civilization that conn
scls a man when he is accused of ly
ing to accuse back again, and thus get
even. The civilization that laughs at
honor and scoffs at family pride. For
our part, we prefer the society of
former days. A society where no
man could rise who lacked integrity.
Where men had to pay that homage
to truth which made them “ assume
a virtue if they had it not.”
A society where a promptness to
repel aggression was accompanied by
a corresponding sensitiveness to the
rights of others. In short, a society
where the code of honor w T as fully re
cognized as the rule among gentlemen
to be resorted to for the defense of
character and reputation. Until men
become better Christians, until the
time shall come when all will
love one another too well to ins
fringe upon each others rights,
the code of honor must exist in
all high toned and well regulated
society. We contend that it is a
Christian code, and just as defensible
and justifiable as w ar. We contend
that a Christian minister is fully as
much justified in defending Ids honor
under the code as he w’ould be in ac
cepting the captaincy of a company
to light the enemies of his country.
We would not fight a duel, unless the
affront was of such a grave character
as to rest under it would destroy our
usefulness to society and the good
name we desire to leave our children.
The Code of Honor strictly adhered
to never allows a fatal termination to
a quarrel, unless, under circumstances
when such bad blood has been aroused
as would otherwise terminate in a
street fight, thus endangering the lives
of others and involving the friends
and relatives in a long and bloody
vendetta. It is ignorance of the Code
which makes men ridicule it. We can
demonstrate that there is scarcely a
single instance to be referred to w here
a duel has terminated fatally, w here
even such a result was not the best for
society under the imperfections of our
humanity. We do not allude tefleases
where the code has been violated and
deaf It ot one or both parties has been
the result. We assert that when the
code is fully recognised and strictly
adhered to, there are very few quarrels
that arise among gentlemen that can
not be settled by it. We like the
code because it keeps us out of diffi
culties with blackguards, and we know
full well that it will settle any trouble
or misunderstanding that may occur
with gentlemen. In other words, we
like it because it keeps us out ot
fights. It is an impartial peace-maker,
and therefore we call it a Christian
code. It takes a quarrel out ot the
hands of those who are offended and
prejudiced against each other, and
places it in the management of those
who have but one aim, and that is
peace. We assert again that the code,
strictly followed, will settle nearly all
difficulties, and only when it is vio
lated, do these unhappy results follow
which arouse the sympathy off the
community for the unfortunate, and
bring down the usual outbursts of pre
judioe against the code. Take for in
stance,the case which occurred in Vir
ginia very recently. Mr. McCarty has
some misunderstanding with a much
admired young lady. They meet at a
ball; the\ dance together. A few
days after a piece of poetry appeal’s in
the Enquirer. It is read and discuss
ed at the club. Someone remarks
that the poetry lias a personal allusion.
Mr. Mordecai denounces the author.
Mr. McCarty declares himself the au
thor, but does not feel called upon to
say whether it has a personal allusion
or not. lie is challenged by Morde
cai. He recognizes the Code, and re
fuses to fight because be does not ad
mit that Mr. Mordecai has any right
ito assume the quarrel. To admit it,
CARROLLTON, GEORGIA. FRIDAY MORNING, JUNE 27, 1873.
would be to hold himself ready to
fight every man in Virginia who choose
to espouse the lady’s cause. Here the
Code actually prevented these high
spirited young men from coming
together. Mordecai walks into the
billiard room and overhears remarks
that he assumes are meant for him.—
Instead of a resoit to the code and re
quiring an explanation, which no
doubt w’ould have been given, and
thus, settled the difficulty, he loses his
temper and gives McCarty a severe
personal chastisement. Now, matters
had reached a point that the code was
the most humane mode of settling.—
Without a resort to it, a street fight
would certainly have followed, and
perhaps to-day the fight would he
still going on between their respective
friends. As it is Mordecai falls, and
the community sympathises and the
matter ends.
W hen the millenium comes and the
lion lies down with the lamb, then,
and not till then will men cease to
quarrel.
We can't legislate sin out of the
world, But we can legislate away cus
toms which are the result of our fall
en nature, and have their places sup
[died by those which are ten times
worse.
W e can stop duelling to be followed
by street murders. We can shut up
the gambling houses of to-day to have
their places supplied by “skin shops”
tomorrow. We can close other
places where vice does wear the garb
of decency, to fill our streets with pit
iable spectacles of depravity.
Let ministers work and pray for our
regeneration, but don’t try to legislate
for the hearts and consciences of men.
All such laws are vain aruFfoolish, and
the experience of the past has settled
this fact beyond dispute.
We know that we are writing bold
ly, but we believe we are right and
all we ask is that our readers will give
what we have written calm and un
prejudiced co nsi derat ion. A t lan ta

An Interesting Law Suit.
Though lion. Gustavus A. Henry
is in his seventieth year, his eye (I
put it, quite apropos, in the singular
number, since lie unfortunately lost
his left eye entirely a few months ago
from neuralgia) is as bright as ever
when he recalls the wordy wars of
his moie youthful days. He related
this morning an incident in his prae
tice which ought to go to record, and
I give it, as near as possible, in his
own words :
Fifteen or tweenty years ago, said
the Eagle orator, 1 was attending the
circuit Court of Robertson county at
Springfield, when a sad, heart-broken
woman, ot about five-and-twenty years
came into ray office and inquired
whether I recognized her. I did not.
She was the daughter of a venerable
friend of mine, and I had known her
when she was just budding into wo
manhood, when “grace was in all her
steps, heaven in her eye, and in every
gesture dignity and love.” But now,
how changed! She seemed the very
picture of mute despair, and her fea
tures revealed the story of her wrongs
ere her lips repeated it. She told it
without any affectation of modesty,
rage of tears, and but for the occasion
al quivering of her thin, bloodless lips,
one, to have simply heard without
beholding the narrator, might have
imagined her reciting the woes of an
other. She had been beautiful, tal
ented, accomplished, her father (Mr.
S, —) having lavished both the wealth
ot his purse as well as his affection
upon the idol of his heart. But the
spoiler came in the person of a young
W. , whose father, then dead had
also been a particular friend of my own.
Under promise of marriage, and after
importunities, which were backed by
what the law should denominate ab
solutely physical force, she yielded
wholly to him she loved so unwisely
well. ’Tis but the old old story, over
and over again ; for man, all
the pleasures of passion, tor woman,
the sorrow and pain. The wretch
not only refused to perform his vows,
but lie fiendishly mocked her prayers
and defied her tears —refusing to
make the only reparation inhis power
for tire great wrong which had plucked
the luster from her eyes and the rose
from her cheek. The child born of
this unholy love had died, her old
father went about with bowed head,
heart-broken, unable even to advise
what coarse to pursue, less much to
avenge his daughter. Ileuce she
was left helpless and wretched, and
it was in this frame of mind she aps
proached me for counsel.
My energy was fired and aroused
at once. “I will institute suit for
damages and breach oi promise at
once, poor girl,” I cried in the indig
nation of my manhood. “Money
will but poorly repay your sorrows,
’ yet in so far as a verdict of ten
thousand dollars will do so, you shall
be avenged.”
Soon as suit was commenced, Mr.
W. began his siege on me. He first
tried flattery. His old father, he said,
would turn over in his grave if he
could but know that Major lien
ry was prosecuting his son. Finding
that nothing could ever damp my ar
dor in behalf of the poor, injured girl,
and that in spite of our previous
friendship, I now held him in supreme
contempt, he set about Ids defense,
and being wealthy, engaged all the
best legal talent in Nashville and
Springfield. When the day for trial
came I advised him to give me a jug
ment, pro confesso , for $5,000, and I
would dismiss the suit, I assured him
he would regret the exposure of a
public trial, and would fare worse to
spurn my proposition : and that I was
thoroughly aroused, and should han
dle him without mercy. He laughed
in my face at the suggestion, and de
fied me even to get $5,000 damages,
for he felt perfectly assued of a ver
dict in his favor.
George Boyd was my associate
counsel a sound lawyer, well read and
pains taking. lie opened the argu
ment, laying down the laws in plain,
forcible language, and was followed
by defendant’s counsel. When the
last of these closed it was about dark,
and I begged of the court the priv
ilege of making my speech at once.—
I detained the jury tor little over an
hour, in the best speech of my life,
and made by candle-light. I was mar
ed up as I never had been before.—
Her father was in the court-room, his
long gray hair falling about his
shoulders, and his ruined daughter
sitting, with bowed head, by his side.
From the beginning of my speech to
its close, yen could have heard a pin
drop—in fact there was no other shad
ow of sound but my own voice, save
now and then the broken sobs of old
and young in the audience. In less
than five minutes after begining I had
the crowd, judge, jury and specta
tors completely in my hands, and felt
myself master of the occasion.—
I was on 1\ sorry I had not de
manded $20,000 instead of $lO,-
000. I portrayed the cold, sly,
snakey steps of the seducer, the im
portunities, the final overpowering
mastery of his strong mind and body.
I dwelt upon woman’s trusting love
and unselfish devotion and constancy:
drew the picture of the poor girl as I
had seen her but a few months before
and dwelt upon the contrast now. I
depicted the heart anguish of the old
father tottering to tire grave under
the cruel blow of the man he had
trusted as a son. I hurled an at! le in as
against the seducer—l protested, in
the name of our common manhood,
against the wrong inflicted upon our
mothers, wives and sisters in the per
son of that poor girl, and demanded
of the jury whether they could be
bribed into cowardly silence by the
villainous author of all these woes.—
I closed with this apt and forcible
quotation Irom Scott:
Where shall the traitor rest,
He the deceiver,
Who could, win maiden’s breast,
Ruin—and leave her !
In the lost battle,
Borne down by the flying,
Where mingle war’s rattle
With the groans of the dying,
There shall he he lying.
Her wings shall the eagle flap
O’er the false-hearted;
His warm blood the wolf shall lap
Ere life he departed !
Shame and dishonor sit
By his grave ever ;
Blessing shall hallow it,
Never, Oh never!
The effect , was electrical. When
the Judge could compose himself and
the crowd sufficiently to charge tire
jury to retire and make up their
verdict, the foreman asked that his
honor should retain his seat, as they
would return in five minutes. Sure
enough, in less time, they brought in
the verdict giving damages in the
whole amount asked, SIO,OOO. This
completely broke up and ruined the
seducer, and he moved out of the
country. If the very curse I had in
voked in the words of Scott had been
directly visited upon him, misfortune
could not have followed sooner or
more signally. He died a few years
ago, scorned of all men and women ;
while his victim afterwards married
a clever gentleman and is—to-day a
a happy wife and mother. —Louisville

EOT Brain work costs more food
than hand work According to care
ful estimates and analyses of the ex
cretions, three hours ot hard study
wear out the body more than a whole
day of severe physical labor. Another
evidence of the cost of brain work is
obtained from the fact that though
the braiti is only one fortieth the
weight, it receives about one->fifth of
all the blood sent by the heart into
the system. Brain workers, therefore,
require a more liberal supply of food,
and richer food than manual laborers.

Statement .Concerning the
Arlington Estate by Mrs.
General Lee.
Washington, D. C., June 12. —The
National Republican oi this morning
publishes an interview with Mrs Gen
eral Lee, from which the iollowin"
facts relative to the Arlington estate
appear: Geo. Washington Parke
Guslis dying in 1857, gave his daugh
ter, Mrs. Lee, by his will, the entire
Arlington estate ; and General Lee,
though executor, never participated
in any manner in its ownership or
control. There were eleven hundred
acres in the estate, which, at the time
of the government occupation, was
worth about S2OO per acre, and has
since greatly risen in value. At the
time of its nominal purchase by the
governmet at $26,800, there were
several of Mrs. Lee’s friends ready to
make the purchase for her, or to pay
the taxes, but they were not allowed
to do either. It is stated that there
is high legal authority connected with
the government for doubting the valid
ity of the government title. Mrs. Lee
does not desire to have the estate re
stored, since its becoming a national
cemetery, but docs expect a reasonable
remuneration. General Lee’s will,
probated at Lexington, bequeaths only
personal estate, and makes no mention
of real estate, as he owned none.—
The Arlington was sold under the di
rect tax act of June, 1862, as amend
ed by the act of Febuary 6, 1863. It
was further provided iu the will of
Mr. Custis that his slaves should be
tree after the expiration ot five years
The period of manumission came
on in 1863, in the height of the
war, when General Lee, as executor
of the will, summoned those slaves to
gether at a point within his lines, and
gave them their papers and tree passes
through the Confederate lines to go
whither they would. The Arlington
estate was assessed in 1860, at thirty
four thousand and one hundred dol
lars, and in the opinion of competent
judges was worth from forty to fifty
thousand dollars. The land would
now bring over $100,060. It is be
lieved that this is the .only case where
the Government failed to make com
pensation for land set apart for a na
tional cemetery.
Catching a Wife.
The most curious ceremony known
to ths Esquimax, says Dr. Hayes in
his lecture, is, perhaps, that of mar
riage. It is done thus:
When a boy kills a polar bear, it is
considered sufficient proof of his abil
ity to maintain a family ; he is there
fore told to go catch a wife. Watch
ing his opportunity at night time, he
pounces upon a victim, and attempts
to carry her off; she, however, strug
gles and shrieks, until she has collect
ed around her a group of sympathi
sers. She then turns upon her captor,
and bites and scratches until he is
compelled to release her; then she
darts into the crowd and attempts to
escape; he follows, but not unmolest
ed.
All the old women takes scourges
of dried seal skin and flagellate him
unmercifully as he passes, making at
the same time every offort to arrest
him in Iris course. If, despite these
little impediments in matrimonial
bliss, he should catch his victim, the
biting and scratchingsoene is renewed,
and in all probability he is compelled
to release her, and the chase, with its
attendant discomforts, is resumed. —
Should he overcome all obstacles,
the third capture usually proves effect
ual, and the victim, ceasing her
struggles, is led away amid the accla
mations and rejoicing of the assem
bled multitude.
The Wedding Finger. —Much has
been said about the wedding ring, but
the more lovely part engaged in the
mystic matter, the taper residence of
this ornament, has been neglected.
Now this is rather curious, a3 there
are facts which belong to the ring
finger which render it in a peculiar
manner an appropriate emblem of mat
rimonial union. It is the only finger
where two principal nerves belong to
two distinct trunks ; the thumb is sup
plied with its principal nerves from
the radial nerve, as is also the fi>re
liimer, and the thumb side of the ring
finger, while the ulnar nerve furnishes
the little finger and the other side of
the ring finger, at the point or extrem
ity of which a real union takes place.
It seems as if it were intended by na
ture to be the matrimonial finger.—
That the side of the ring finger next
the little fiuger is supplied by the ul
nar nerve, is frequently proved by a
common accident, that ot striking the
elbow abainst the edge of a chair, a
door, or any narrow, hard substance;
the ulnar nerve is then frequently
struck, and a thrilling sesation is fell
in the little finger, and on the same
side of the ring finger, but not on the
other side of it.— Exchange.
“ Illiteracy.”
One of the maps accompanying the
census statistics of 1870, and bound
in volume of that compilation, is en
titled “ Illiteracy.” The educated por
tions of the Union are represented iu
a very light line ground-work, and
the unenlightened portions by a black
shade. In the Northern States all is
light and sunny ; iu the Southern a
pall like a dark cloud overshadows the
land. This map we regard as objec
tionable and ungenerous, for two rea
sons—lst, because it is deceptive ;
and 2d, because it makes a mortifying
and exaggerating parade before for
eign nations of the misfortune of one
section of the country. It may well
be doubted whether, if the education
ational conditions of the two sections
had been the reverse (mutatis mutan
tis,) any such map would have accom
panied the census.
We say that it is deceptive. It i s
based on returns including the negro
(late slave) population, of the South,
and this population, as large or nearly
as large as the white in a number of
the Southern States, almost integrally
helps to form the black cloud that
darkens our section in this map. Ad
mitting, the negroes to be capable of
literary education to the same per
cent, of the population as the whites
(which very many of them are not, af
ter living so long without commencing
“ the rudiments, ) time enough since
their emancipation has not yet elapsed
for most of them to learn to read and
write, nor has the condition of the
country permitted it It is, therefore,
ungenerous in including their numbers
in computations made Iho basis for a
comparative chart, exhibiting the
relative stale of ignorance of the sev
eral sections—and in sending this
chart out to foreign countries from
which we hope to obtain immigration.
The test of illiteracy is in itself decep
tive. Mere ability to read and write does
not constitute an education superior
to that of the illiterate man who by
native shrewdness and by free conii
mingling with the world—by close
application to some useful business?
and by interested attention to lectures,
sermons, political addresses, Ac., —has
mastered his calliug and acquired a
good judgment of current topics and
informration ot passing events. Who
ever has traveled through the “ rural
districts ” of the two sections must
have been impressed w ith two facts—
-Ist, very superficial character cf the
education of numbers at the North
who can “read and write” after a fash
ion are therefore booked in the census
as “literate ;” and 2d, the superior
shrewdness and general knowledge of
many Southerners who cannot read a
word, and w’ho are therefore put down
as “illiterate” and made to contribute
to the black cloud which the census
man spreads over our section.
It is rather remarkable that, with
the repugnance to ignorance which the
getting up of this map manifests, our
National Administration should sed
ulously exclude from public service and
honor the very few enlightened cit
iztns of the South, and bestow its eon
side rat ion and offices upon the classes
now its favorites. The fact telegraph
ed to us from Washington the other
day, that the Examining Board of the
Treasury Department had found at
the South a Collector of customs who
could neither read nor write, did not
create much astonishment here.—
Neither are we very incredulous of a
newspaper statement that a postmaster
has been found in South Carolina with
precisely the same qualifications.—
This way of caricaturing the prevail
ing ignorance of South in official pub
lications largely circulated in foreign
countries, and at the same time exclu
ding from governmental recognition
and favor the little streak of intelli
gence that does illuminate our zone,
is as wanting in consistency as in fair
ness and generosity.— Columlus S un.
The Richmond Duel.— lt is related
of the venerable mother of McCarty
that she was aware from the first of
her son’s intention to call Mordecai to
account. That on his suggestion to
her as he lay sick from the beating re
ceived from Mordecai, that possibly
his friends might refuse to bear hi3
message to his opponent, she said :
“Be of good cheer, my son ; if they
refuse, i'll carry it myself.” As is
known, Colonel Tabb being sent for
readily consented to act. It is said, I
know not with how much truth, that
his Spartan mother was not far from
the field when the combat took place.
At any rate, when the perforated body
of her son arrived at home at a late
hour on that fatal Friday night, the
anxious friends who conveyed him in
to the maternal presence found every
convenience necessary to meet just
such a contingency as had happened.
