Is Duelling Really Barbarous I
We have deoidod to say a few words
on thin subject, whioh seems lately to
have occupied so much, of the time of
the courts. We confess that we feel
sincere regret that the framera of our
new Constitution saw fit to make suoh
stringent regulations against what, in
derisioD, our lattar day-reformers are
pleased to sneer at as the "Code of Hon
or " It was a sad thing tobe overcome in
battle and forced to surrender our arms
to the conqueror, but a sadder dajswaita
us when we Bhull allow the customs of
our enemies to be engrafted oo our so
ciety, causing the civilization which
was ones our pride and boast, to give
way to their so called higher civiliza
tion.
The civilization that will make wav
upon gaming at Faro Bank and Rou
lette, but holds in high esteem ths rascal
who successfully robs a corporation or
ruins tho unsophisticated by stock gam
bling and futures. The civilization that
argues that female virtue that can be
seduced is not worth protecting. A. civ
ilization that counsels a man when he
is accused of lying to accuse back again
and thus geta even. The civilization
that laughs at honor and scoffs at family
pride. For our part we prefer tit)so
ciety of former days. A society *bere
no man could rise who lacked integrity.
Where men hud to pay that homage to
truth which made them "assumo a vir
tue if they had it not."
A society where a promptness to repel
aggression was accompanied by a cor
responding sensitiveness to tho rights
of others. In short, a society where the
code of honor was fully recognized as
the rule among gentleraeu to be rcsortep
to for the defence of character and repu
tation. Until men become better Chris
tians, until the time shall come when
ail will love one anether too well to in
fringe upon eahh olViers?rT)(htB7 the code
of honor must exist in all high tooel
and well regulated anoiety. We contend
that it is a Christian code, and just
as defensible and justifiable as war. We
contend that a chrutian minister is fully
ns much justified in defending his honor
utider the code as he would be in accept -
ing the captaincy of a Company to fight
the enctuies ol 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 usefuluess 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, unleis under
circumstances when such bad blood hss
been aroused as would otherwise termin
ate in a street fight, thus endangering
the lives of others aud involving the
frionds and relatives in a long aad
bleody vendetta, it fs ignorance of th >
Code whioh make* men ridicule it. We
can demonstrate that there is scarcely a
single instance to be referred to where
a duel has terminated futully where ev
en such a result was not tho lest for
society tinder the imperfections of out
human:ty. We do not allado. to ca
bos where the code has been violate 1 '
and death of one or both parties baa
been the ios ilt. We assert that when
the Code is fully recognized and strictly
adhered to, there are very few quarrels
that arise among gentlemen that ca t -
not bo settled by it. We like the code
because it keeps us out of difficulties
with blackguards, and we know
full well that will settle any
trouble or misunderstanding that
may occur with gentlemen. In other
words, we like it because it keeps ns out
of fights. It is so impartial peace-ma
kcr, and therefore we call it a Christian
oode. It takes a quarrel out of the
hands of those who are offended anl
prejudiced sgainst each other, and places
it in the management of those who have
but one aim, and that is peace. We
*.<sort again that the oode, strictly foll
owed, will settle nearly all difficulties,
and only when it is violi ted do t'.ese
unhappy results follow whioh arouse the
sympathy of the community for the un
I fortunate, and bring down the usual
outburst of prejudice against the node.
Take for instance, the ease which occur
red in Virginia very receutly. Mr. Me
Cnrty has somemisnnderstanding wish a
much admired young lady. They meet
at a ball; they dance together. A few
days after a pieee of poetry appears i a
the Enquirer. It re read sod discuss
ed at the olub Some one remarks that
the poetry has s personal allusion- Mr.
Mcjrdecji dssonscsf the anther. Mr.
M Certy de lares himself the author,
but dees not feel called upon to say
whether it haa a personal allasion or not.
Ha ia ohallengod bj Morde :at. He
recognises the Coda and refuses to fight
because be dees not admit that, Mr.
Mordcoai has any right to assume the
quarrel. To admit it, would be to hold
himself ready to fight every man in Vir
ginia who chose to espouse the lady's
causa. Hera ths Coda actually preven
ted these high spirited young men fronj>
eomioK together. Mordeoai walks into
the billiard room and overbears remarks
that be assumes are meant for bim.?
Instead of a resort to the code and re
quiring an explanation, which no doubt
would bare been given, and thus settled
the tiiifioulty, ha loses his temper and
gives MoCarty a severe personal chas
tisement. Now matters had reached a
point that the code was the most human*
mode of settling.?Without a resort to
it, a street fight would certainly have
followed, and perhaps to dsy the fight
would be still going on between tbeir
respective Irieods. As it is Mordeoai
fails, and the community sympathises
snd the matter ends.
When the millenium oomes and tho
lion lies down with the lamb, then, and
not till then will men cease to qusr
rel.
We ean't legislate sin out of the world
but we can legislate away customs which
are the result of our fallen nature, and
have their places supplied by thuse which
are ten times worse.
We ean stop dualling to be followed
by strict murders. We can shut up tba
gambling houses of to day to have their
places supplied by "skin shops" to raor
row. We can oloae other places where
vice does wear the garl of dsoeney, to
fill our streets with pitiable spectacles of
depravity.
Let ministers work and pray for um
regeneration, but doa'fc try to legislate
for the hearts and conscience* of men.
AH such laws arevaiu; and foolish, and
the ezperienco of th? pant has settled
this faot beyond dispute.

Peck's Sowing Much inc.
?
A Mr. Peck had long entertained the
idea that be could invent a self acting
newing machine, and ha did. Ha pro
cured a steel ribbon spring about twenty
feet long, and ol sufficient power to ruu
a horse car. This he rigg.:d on his wife's
sawing machine with a lot of clockwork,
and it appeared to him, when be finished
the job that evening, that he had realis
ed his hopes. If any sewing machine
aver would go that one would, as he
wound it up ready for use in the morn
ing, and went to bed. At four o'clock
Mrs. Peok aroused him, au l told him to '
listen to the burglars in tho house. He
listened and heard a most terrific racket
?
in tho sitting-room. It appeared to him
that ? there must be a million burglars
refreshing themselves with a prize fight.
So ho loaded his gun, crept softly over, !
and peeped through a crack in the door.
It was not burglars, it was Mrs. Peok's
sewing machine. The {peg had slipped
out and that spring was having full
play. It would rear the machine up on I
one end snd charge it three or four
times like a battering-ram against the
glass front of tho book case; then it
would .wheel around and suddenly tear
across the room,' butt up against the
mantelpiece, and it would lie dowu and
roll over the floor, and hammer the sofa,
tear Hp the carpet, and boost the center
table and try and jean a hole through
the wall, and than endeavor to leap up
on >*ho chandelier. Then as Peek
entered the room, it flaw at him, and
tore in and out between his legs, the
wheel revolving like lightning all the
time, and ths spring gradually unwind
ing. And then Peck retreated and the
family all got up and got a mattress off
the bad, with which they covered the
cacbioe, and sat on it for a while, bat
finally pushed it ontof the window into
the yard, where Peck piled bo job snd
sah- bsrreis and slop buckets and feneo
palings and wagon ? wheels on to it to
keep it still. Bat all night under ths
I hasp it kept np a continual bass sad
snort and booty .-o that one of Mr Bird

with ths impression that it was eats.

Marriage Id Judge Cooked Court.
* As it Should Be" shall be the title
of our next novel, and we shall weave
the troubles, the fortunes and the afflic
tions of Cornelius Arnold and Sarah
Samuels i&to ths woof of onr story. We
all kuow the misery and wretchedness
occasioned by untimely and improper
marriagep, end the too solicitous eare of
parents; but a father's "phiz" inoppor
tunely thrust in upon the scene of our
pleasures and joys inspires a degree of
recklessuesa productive of the worst
consequences. The truth of the matter
is, "papa" has no business snuffing about
for some token of a daughter's disobe
dience, and, if he should get knocked
down occasionally, he would learn a
little caution, if not a proper sense of
propriety.
Stephen Samuels had a daughter, a
lovely girl, in whom he confided, and
rrhom he loved with all a father's devo
tion. He had oared for her, and trusted
that in the evening of life she, at least,
would be left him to smooth his passage
to the grave. But, alas ! love Is more
powerful than a father's counsel, and
Cornelius Arnold' rose before Sarah
Samuels' enraptured imagination?the
beau ideal of all that was beautiful,
lovely and ef good report. Stephen
Samuels' mature charms sank into
insignificance when compared with the
bliss of Cornelius Arnold's companion
ship and the fruition of his love. Trust
ing in the strength of Cornelius Arnold's
attachment, and reelining upon his
powerful arm, Sarah bade farewell to
her old home, wich all it* sacred and
' endearing associations, and conscious of,
tho devotion that supported her through
all the critical period of love and oourt
ship, aha sailed out upon an untried
stream, "heart within, and God over
head."
Tho course of true Ieve never runs
smoothly, and the affection that a fath
er's counsel and advice could not eon
trot was about' to be rebuked by the
dread thunders of the law. Stephen
Samuels no longer rested upon fats ovo
| resources ; but summoning the dignity
and p?<wer of tho State of South Caroli-.
ua to his aid, relentlessly pursued the
disturber of his domestic peace and
tranquillity. The dogs of war were
loosed, end in the end Cornelius Araoli
stood; before the Court of Sessions for
Abbeville county, indicted for the high
crimo and misdemeanor of "abducting
a woman child."
Hero the matter rested for somctim*.
Learned lawyers whetted the edged tools
they are accustomed to use in the foren j
sie aren* and prepared for the contest of
the people's rights against the encroach
ments of a disturber of society. The
Judge looked wise, and began deliberat
ing in his owu mind the penalty he
would inflict should Cornelius Arnold
be proven guilty ef the high crime with
which he stood charged. Loafers, busy
bodies and reporters thronged tho corri
dors of ths tempi* of justice, deecaotiug ,
upon the probuble issue of the case, and
aehing for a glimpse of the cause of so
much gossip. At last all were gratified
The bustle of preparation became appa
rent, and the Judge announced "The
State vs. Cornelius Arnold."
Col. Thomas Thomson, who represent-.
ed the prisoner, rose and insinuatingly
suggested to the Court that the case be
noL protttdi that he had ths thing dead,
and, to avoid increasing the expenses
attached to litigation, had, prevailed up
on Stephen Samuels, the father, to allow
the marriage of Sarah Samuels, the
I daughter, to Cornelius Arnold, tho pil
\ ferer, and recommended that bis Honor
aet the p?rt of master of eeremonies.
The Court was taken aback by this un
expected turn of things, and on Corne
lius and Sarah plighting their troth, and
Stephan giving his consent, Cornelius
and Sajrah took their ?Und at the bar and
were made one flesh. The remarks ol
j his .Honor were well timed and appro
priate?the only thing lacking, in our
I opinion, being a prayer for God's bless
ing up..a the happy couple. The closing
I seutenee of tho Judge's charge to the
married pair was full of good advice, and
with "Go and sie no more" ringing in
their ears, Cornelias Arnold and Sarah
Samuels wander down the cool, sequee
tersd vale of life, ons In aim and one in
sympathy. Happy WJa^aSSSioS tft
their dearest hopes and Stto^gest aaptra
tions!

This incident of on? court, as we hare
tersely and simply related it, poasesiaa
the beauty of truth and the fascination
of romance. Occurring as it did in the
midst of a dull routine of legal proce
dure, it stsnds unparalleled in the his

served to quicken the wits and brighten
