A REMARKABLE DUEL.
A Meeting Between a Southern Man
and a Carpet-Bagger—A.n Attempt
to Commit Suicide by One of the
Duelists.
A duel, in which were shed a few
ounces of chivalrous blood, was fought
according to the code of honor on the
branch near the Ocean House yester
day morning. The principals were
Paul Zecchi, of Oakland, a high-toned
Southern gentleman, formerly hailing
from Georgia, and a party by the name
of Ives, a Northern man, temporarily
sojourning in San Francisco, and who
has been stigmatized as a “Georgia
carpet-bagger” by the Southern chiv
alry among his acquaintances here.
The two gentlemen met in this city
about three weeks ago, and their meet
ings have been anything but pleasant,
finally culminating in the encounter at
arms yesterday.
THE CAUSE OF THE DUEL.
The incident which led to the duel
grew out of the war of the rebellion.—
Zecchi was a commissioned officer in
the Confederate service, and Ives had
a brother serving in the ranks of the
Union army under Sherman. This
brother had volunteered to do duty as
a Federal spy, and while thus engaged
was captured by the Confederates. He
was tried by a drum-head court-mar
tial, sentenced to death, and Lnomini
ously hanged on the morning after his
arrest. Zecchi was the officer who cap
tured him. and he also played a promi
nent part in the execution of the youth
ful spy. The surviving brother re
membered Zecchi’s name with detesta
tion and hatred, and upon accidentally
meeting him in a ball room in this city
accused him of the murder of his
younger brother. He called him an as
sassin, murderer, and by other oppro
brious terms. Zecchi retaliated by
calling him an infamous carpet-bag
ger. Friends interfered and prevented
them from coming to blows.
THE CHALLENGE.
They met again on an Oakland ferry
boat a few days ago, when abusive epi
thets were once more freely exchanged.
Ives finally flourished a pistol, but he
was seized by his friends and the
weapon taken from him. Ives deter
mined that he would have the satisfac
tion which one gentleman demands
from another. So he penned a chal
lenge to mortal combat and sent the
same by the hand of a friend to Zecchi.
The challenge was at once accepted.
Colt’s navy revolvers fixed upon as the
weapons, and a secluded part of the
beach near the Ocean House deter
mined upon as the place of the meet
ing, which was appointed for 7 o’clock
yesterday morning.
THE MEETING.
The principals, attended by their
seconds, were promptly on hand at the
hour and place designated. They were
driven to the locality in close carriages,
and the preliminaries were promptly
arranged upon the ground. Col. John
Breckenridge officiated as Zecchi’s
second, and a gentleman named Wil
liams acted in the same capacity for
Ives. Ten paces were measured off, the
weapons examined and loaded, and
Zecchi and Ives took up their respect
ive positions. A third gentleman in the
party was to give the command to fire,
and he accordingly stationed himself
where both Ives and Zecchi could see
and hear him.
THE DUEL.
Both principals are siender-built,
small sized men, and appeared sur
prisingly cool and collected. Not a
tremor could be seen in either. After
they had stood a few seconds waiting
for the word, the gentleman before
mentioned said:
“ Are you ready, gentlemen ?”
We are,” firmly replied Ives and
Zecchi together, both speaking in clear,
firm tones.
“ One.”
J° tb I^ eQ raised their arms to aim.
“ Two.”
The outstretched arms of the two
men were as steady as a rock, and the
weapons were directly aimed at each
other’s breasts.
AUGUSTA, GA„ WEDNESDAY MORNING. FEBRUARY 3. 1875.
“ Th ree.”
The seconds held their breath.
“ Fire.”
A DUELIST WOUNDED.
A little puff of white smoke curved
upward from Ives’s revolver as the re
port of his shot was heard. Zecchi had
received the bullet in the fleshy part of
his left arm immediately below the
shoulder. But he gave no sign that he
was hurt. Ives dropped his arm after
firing. Zecchi slowly raised his revol
ver while its muzzle pointed upwards,
when he discharged its contents into
tho air. To tho surprise of those pre
sent Zecchi demanded a second fire.
The revolvers were reloaded, but Ives
declined to fire again, and Zecchi’s
second labored to dissuade his princi
pal from proceeding any further, en
treating him to retire from the field so
that his wound could be dressed.
THE WOUNDED MAN ATTEMPTS SUICIDE.
Zecchi stubbornly insisted upon an
other shot, and finding himself unac
commodated, to the horror of all pres
ent, placed the muzzle of his revolver
against his own breast, over the region
of his heart, and pulled the trigger.
The cap, fortnnately missed fire, and
just as he had recocked his weapon,
his second disarmed him, and prevent
ed him from committing suicide. The
two parties thereupon returned to their
carriages and were driven back to town.
THE WOUND DRESSED.
Dr. I). E. Richard, of 512 Sixth street,
also a Southern gentleman who was to
have joined the party as Zecchi’s sur
geon, but who did not reach theground
in time, subsequently dressed the
wound, which proved to be a very
slight one, though the bullet was found
firmly imbedded in the soft part of the
flesh. Zecchi was afterward driven to
his lodgings in Oakland. The duel ex
cited much comment yesterday ic those
circles in the city frequented by South
ern gentlemen.
zecchi’s STRANGE CONDUCT
in firing into the air the first time and
subsequently demanding another shot
—failing in which he attempted to
shoot himself—shows that he really de
sired to die yesterday. He has been
very dejected for a long time past and
had, it is believed, grown weary of life.
The opportunity which the duel afford
ed him of escaping “ the ills that flesh
is heir to,” by dying by the hands of
another, he gladly and readily sought.
Zecchi comes from one of the proudest
families in Georgia. He lost s,ll his
property in the war, and since its close
he has been a penniless wanderer all
over the world. A year ago he arrived
in San Francisco from Calcutta, and has
resided in Oakland ever since. Ives,
who is a Northern man, has resided in
Georgia since the war. He is at pres
ent on a visit to some relatives in this
city. No attempt was made to arrest
any of the parties to the duel.
[Macon Star.
Hon. B. H„ Hill and His Late Speech.
We have read the speech lately de
livered by Mr. Hill at A’Janta, with at
tention and pleasure, and would place
it before our readers but for the reason
that we must cut our coat proportional
to our cloth. We cannot agree with
many of our editorial brethren iu the
encomiums lavished upon this speech.
It is principally a lehearsal of newspa
per articles aud Congressional reports,
seasoned with Mr. Hill’s favorite in
vective, and spiced with his char
acteristic vanity and egotism. The
“ Ego et Rex Meus” —l and my king!
which caused the great Cardinal
Wolsey at length to exclaim in
bitterness of soul: “Farewell, a
long farewell, to all my greatness!” is
the “head and front” of this oratorical
effort. But for the last infirmity of
noble minds—vaulting ambition, Mr.
Hill might be classed an orator, but he
has none of the sterner stuff which
makes the hero.
“The Notes on the Situation” were
the clarion notes of constitutional
liberty agrinst usurpation and tyranny;
of intelligence and virtue against igno
rance and vice ; of purity against cor
ruption and principle against policy.—
Every Georgian and patriot caught
the sound and echoed the senti
ments. Like the signal fires for the
gathering of the Scotch highland
clans, these bugle “Notes” thrilled
every heart aud caused each pulsation
to beat in harmony with law, order
and the Constitution. Georgia, in 1868,
declared reconstruction “revolutionary,
null and void,” not as a sentiment, as
Mr. Hill asserts, but as a solemn truth
and an unchangeable principle. Men
change, but principles are eternal The
letter of Mr. Hill iu 1870 was a com
plete summerset and landed him in the
bosom of ex-Governor Brown, who he
had just denounced as unworthy the
social recognition of gentlemen, and a
fit associate for tyrants, plunderers and
“assassins of liberty.” He says now :
“Many of you abused me very much
then. You ought to be ashamed of it.
I warned you that you would be asham
ed of it, and so you are. You did not
then see the question as I saw it, only
because you had not studied it as I had.
I saw then it was the only way out of
our troubles.”
This is quite complimentary to the
law-makers and people of Georgia, and
exceedingly modest in Mr. Hill! He
saw it was the way to “save the South,”
to enter into companionship with the
“ assassins of liberty ” and the mur
derers of the constitution. Well, this
may be some logic, but we rather in
cline to the words of Solomon and
David (although not much of a student
in that way), when we are told not to
handle pitch or we will be defiled, walk
not with the ungodly nor sit in the
seat of the scornful. We think when a
man jumps two rabbits and attempts
to catch both, that he will hardly bag
either. It Is as hard for a politician, as
a Christian, to serve two masters.
A barber, while cutting the hair of a
rural customer, ran his scissors against
some hard substance, which proved to
be a whet-stone. The old farmer said
he “had missed that whet-stone ever
since haying time last July, and had
looked all over a ten-acre field for it,
but now remembered sticking it up
over his ear.”

An armless painter may be seen daily
busily engaged in copying some of the
old masters in the South Kensington
Museum, in London. He is a Mr. M.
C. Feler, of Antwerp, and the facility
with which he manages his brush with
his right foot, while holding his palette
with the left, is said to be marvelous.
“ Dar’s de man, Mistar Speaker—
dar’s de man wot done it,” shouted a
colored member, rising suddenly from
his seat in the South Carolina Legisla
ture, with oue baud pointiug to. a white
man in the gallery, and with the other
rubbing the summit of his cranium.
