FIGHTING IN FADERLAND. ---- 110W TIY 1FET'ILE DISPUTES AT TIlE U _VE?$I'IES. erman Stuudeiit Duels--How the Code under' Lv'gor 13eer's Inihionce has Do gonerated into mere Brutality. Spccial Currespondence Chieiu 'Time.. GOITTINoEN, Feb 1i.- The Inenster is a place where pugnacious German students fight duels, It is the field of honor. The ducliF'ts of Goetten, gen have located their field of honor in an old building ahoit two Engo lish wniles south of this city. They tre not fond of having outsiders ,itness their fightss but Dr, Koener, from the University of Virginia, thlugh his acquaintance with ev ,ral "corps.students," gained adanit anco for both himself and the vriter. Although we walkod out to ,he nensur before daylight, a few vere before us and others arrived soon Lfter ; coming only two or three at time, so as not to attract the at, cntion of the pedells. The pedells re the police of tho university. 3efore the fighting commenced, our or five sentinels were staitiuno etween the mensur and the city, to ignal the approach of any ollicer, or other suspicious-looking person. ihould the oflicials go to the mensur, heir approach would be known no ittle time before their arrival ; they vould find as orderly a place is they sver visited; they could see nothing hero but harmony and brotherly ove. The authorities, however, ake little notice of these duols, The tudents fight two or three days ach week, and near the close of the enmester, when niany quariols are to )> settled beforo parting, they fight vory day ; yet it is a rare thing for pedell to visit the mensur, and a till rarer thing for him to catch my of the duelists. Those occa iona! visits are probably made moi o or the sake of appearing to dis ountenance the practice of duelling han for the sake of disturbing the 'boys" in their sport. Not a few of he professors once onjoyed duelling heinselves, as is shown by the scars m their faces. One pi ofessor in )oettingon recently adii.,ed a dys )optic Am orican, for the sake of )is health, to take a little exercise . e., to fight a few duels. On enter. ng the old building we found the nterior to consist of one largo 'oom. In the sou1theas t corner was L restaurarnt and beer saloon ; in the southwest coiner a doctor's office ; tt the east end of the room, among some tables loaded with implements or the duel, was a student equip ding himself for the combat ; at the vest end, among other tables, was a Second student employed in a like nanner. These two duelists boJ onged, one to the Breinensian, and I he other to the Guestphalian corps. [ gave my attention to the Guest phalian. After removing all cloth ug except pants and boots, ho put n an old dirty night shirt with the slooves torn off. A lairge buckskin pad, about twvo and a half inches bhickc, and much the shape of a lacksmith's apron, was then placed 310o up~on his airms, and so strappled cound his body as to cover his sides, uis abdomen, and the lowver part of luis chest; the lower portion of the pad, which was divided into two parts, was strapped round his thighs. A piece of hard leather was also placed over the heart. At ti~o back imng a strap for the duelist to grasp with the left hand when in action, rand thus kop the left arm out of imnger. The strap looked like an irtificial tail, The right arm wvas covered with a heavy silken sleeo nearly an ineb in thickness, and the right hand with a buckskin glove. Between the sleeve and glove was wound a bandage for the p~ro tection of the wrist. Another band age protected the right shoulder, and a third, much thicker than the others, was wound closely round tbe neck. The eyes wore shielded by a1 pair of heavy iron goggles, without glasses. Clad in tis defenusive armor it is hardly fossible for the duelist to receive any fatal or 'seri ous would, The weapyon used in these duels is the 'achieye. The blade, which is about three feet long, is straight, narrow and slightlig flexi ble; the poiflt is blanth and the edge is blunt, exee tin'g abont eight inches next to te pointi thp guard is mnade of strongl woand forms a kind of basket, .which 'covors the whole hand. Thdathik bas~ I14 always diep .0~i thi r t whch he4ABiMi#.IA"/1 black. The Guestphalian's second was armed with a like weapon. Round his body ho wore a broad bolt which also showed the colors of the corps. His right hand and arm wore pro tected by. a heavy buckskin glove and sleeve, and his neck by a .hueavy bandage. Tho Bremueneian duelist and second were equipped in the same manner, exept that the sword hilts, a.nd the seond'a. belt worq: or namented with rod, bluoand oran"e, All is now ready, aid the; umpire sllouts "Silence ou4 the tqpsu," The li of voices ceases and there is silence. The seconds step toward the centre, rise caps nod bow to each other liko two danoing mastere, The duelirts approach, each with his second at his left, in a position to ward off any glancing blows, "Lay out !" cries the Bremnensian's secon(d. The Bromonsian raisos his right arm, with the elbow slightly bent, bringa. the hand above the head and a little to the front, and lots the blade of the schlaegen slop toward the loft shoulder. The left hintid has in the meantimo grasp, ed the artilici-d tail, antd is now twitching it with a nervous energy, 'Lay out 1" shouts the GLestphalian second, and the Guestphl4ian as. suneR his position. "Loose I" commands the Brereen: sian second, There is a sliatp clash as each tries to strike over his oppo, nent's guard, and at the saume time protect his own head. With a quick t turn of. the wvrist the Bremensin drops the point of his aohlaeger and strikes up at the face of his antago nist, The b40o just touched the left cheek. "Halt I" shouts the Bi omensianr second, and points. out to the umpire the blood which its oozing from the Guestphalian's check. It proves to' be not a now gash, but an old one knocked open. The seconds shout in quick .shlcces. sion, o"Lay out," ."Lys ,Put l" "Loose I" and the duelists.'"g loose" a second time. There is a fash of steel over the Bremensian's caput, a look of hair flies off. The Queetpha lian's second cries "Malt ." and ex, amines the Bremensia's head ; but he finds no blood The thirr1 ,"n"m4 is hardly begnwheh the Guostjht., lian's second cries "Halt I" A little stream of blood flows from the Bremensian's left cheek and an. other from his mouth. The check is out through. The unlucky duelist is led away into the doctor's shop corner to have his face stitched tow gother. The fighting has occupied less than half a minute. The boys fought, and the doctor otitehod from nine o'clock in the morning till four in the afternoon. Three of these were to settle quarrels to satisfy injured honor ; the other six wore nothing but friendly fights, 'in a spirit of emulation. The German students, by so carefully oliminating from their duels the element ot danger, havp oliminated also the element of courage. They lu yo loft little but brutality. NouwooD ON THE BrVgUATION.-d1 q Senator Norwood, of Georgia, has been interviewed, He Bays: "This South Carolina and Louisiana busi~ ness5 amounts to nothing, Hayes will simply keep his han,ds off-what any honest President would feel justdfiedl in doing. Bly this prooses, both Phekamd and Ohamnberh~n will be starved out.- then we shall be called upon to throw up our,4ats for Hayes. Inanition is a very pretty little process in this instance, The programme is simple enough when you come to consider it. P'ackard wi'll propose to hold his own at all hazards. He wvill proceed to enroll his noegro militia, and this will' give the Administration an excuse to con tinue to employ troops in order to keep the peace. This, you will un' derstand, is the highest claim that Grant has over made,. He has or dered troops to New Ork ans and has kept themn there in order' that the peace might be kept. This is all patriotic enough, as far as appears ancos'go, and it will be patriotic on the part of Hayes to retain. the gar risons in those States. Before you begin to crow over Hages' policy in~ the South, just wait and 'see whit that policy is," A Now York justige,asked ltl~. dest boggar what his inothper ~4 for a living. .
