Sines the assembling of the present
Legislature, which is composed of a ma
jority of those who adhere to the political
fortunes of Senator Malione, it has been
given out that an amnesty bill, for the
benefit of gentlemen who engaged in pop
gun duels during the campaign, would be
passed. Prominent among those who in
dulged in this harmless pastime was Sen
ator-elect Blddleberger, who also eDjoys
and occupies a seat In the Slate Senate of
Virginia. When a proposition was made
in the Senate to pass an amnesty bill con
taining Ills name with those of others, be
objected to It and baa bis name stricken
from the list, declaring at the same time
that be did not desire to shirk any respon
sibility'that might attach to bis acts.
Onr telegraphic dispatches indicate that
a Virginia grand jury has addressed itself
to an investigation of the Riddleberger-
Wise and other duels, and presently, per
haps, we shall have some proceedings in
open court. It it a matter of little or no
trouble for a grand jury to obtain testi
mony sufficient to frame indictments
against the principals, seconds and sur
geons connected with an hostile meeting.
Tho difficulty comes when evidence is
sought upon which to obtain a conviction,
and without a conviction, the stringent
constitutional provisions in the fundamen
tal charters of the Southern States amount
only to a “brutum fulmen.”
A man cannot be disfranchised until he
has been proven gnilty of a violation of
law by competent testimony. By the
rules under which gentlemen meet to
fight due’s, this testimony rests in most
cases in the bands oi tbc seconds and sur
geons, whom the law holds equally guilty
wjth the principals. When the prosecu
tion proposes to put a second on the stand
to testify he immediately invokes the pro
tection of the law, which says in terms
that no witness can be compelled to crim
inate himself, and the courts have held
that the protection must be accorded him
who asks it. Tne question was raised
and fully discussed in the case of the sur
vivor of the McCarty-Mordecai duel,
which occurred near Richmond, Virgtnis,
some years since, and the courts followed

The running up of* a white flag by the
Augusta Chronicle and Constitutionalist
on Wednesday morning last gave evidence
that General Alexander and his friends
had no further stomach for a fight with
the Central railroad, and as the Nortiinff
News of Friday followed with a bugle
call for a parley, it may be considered that
active hostilities have ceased, for the pres
ent, at least, and nnder the provisions and
protection of an offered and accepted
truce, negotiations will be entered into for
a satisfactory compromise.
Considering the boldness and confidence
exhibited by General Alexander and
it lends In their fierce and partially suc
cessful assault, it is no less surprising than
gratifying to witness the suddenness with
which they were baited by the mandate
of the law.
A stoppage of a charge is always fatal,
the elan of the troops is destroyed and the
line Is euro to be broken and confused.
The delay gives time to count the cost, to
examine danger^ and difficulties, and
sober reason has opportunity to step in
and usurp the place of passion. In this
Instance the terms of negotiations are
proffered almost as soon as the fo’ds of

the following paragraph from the editorial
columns of the News:
Under these circumstances It would seem to
be clearly the part of wisdom for each party to
yield somewhat of its position and meet upon
a middle ground, and the suggestion of our

proposed interest bearing certificates, it be de

be paid, say quarterly, instead of semi-annually

this cash dividend from the earnings, of the

would tend to harmonize all differences, satisfy

Divested of all of the tricks of ver
biage and reduced down to a satisfactory
understanding, this means that Gen. Alex
ander and friends, not being able to handle
interest certificates predicated upon the
Ocean Steamship Company, generously
propose to take the amount In hard cash,
payable quarterly, in dividends. They do
not even propose a discount for cash or a
rebate, in consideration of the fact that
the money will come before they are
hauled through the corridors of the various
courts of the State.
With no intended disrespect for any
one, it appears to us, a bystander, that

coolly proposes to climb the back fence
and to remove the silver plate and jewelry
without unnecessary noise or delay.

Somebody will get hurt before this Legisla

Owens, tho canitol clerk, discharged some
weeks since antfa negro substitute In the audi
tor’s office put to hto place, has found out that
a certain member of the House eras lnstrui
tal in hating him (Owens) discharged.
Tuesday night, or rather early Wedna
morning, Owens went to the member's r
•nd told him to get up onddrera himself, as he
was going to thrash him. The member dressed
himself and they went into a rough-and-tum
ble fight, keeping it up until both got out of
wind, when a member coming to the rescue
they declared a truce. The most ludicrous
part of tbe fisticuff was the crying out of the at-
taking party in the midst of the melee not to
strike his vaccinated arm, and hto opponent
was so considerate as to respect the nnuestof
