Twas aleo in Washington, and Clerk of the House of Representatives, when the challenge pesed berween Jonn C. Breckinridge, of Ken- sy, sod Francis B. Catting, of New York, in sezsequence of angry words in debate, March 5.2, 1654, and shared in the solicitude of their friends for & peaceful settlement. They were & Fgbstrung pair, the Northman not a whit be- 154 the Southron, and sectional pride made item obstibate. Tuey were well matched. Cut- g, like Breckinridge, was a eplendid speaker, 0 one of the first lawyers of the New York bar, smn of society, culture, snd wealth ; aud the Teotuckisn came of @ gallant and gifted race. Jinew them well, and remember 8S of yester- abow glad we sll were when the sensible teain were reconciled on the Slst of March. Br. (utiog bas been dead soveral vears. Mr. Breck- fitgeis living at Lexington, Ky., in his 54th Fiiia F. Potter, of Wisconsin, and Roger A. Ior, of Virginia, both members of the House, ame very near fighting in April of 1860. I had 7 been re-elected Clerk of the House by the Lzi+lavery Democrata and Republicans. The camscious cause of this fracas was Owen Lovejos, of Iitinois (he died March 25. 18G4), siea brother was killed at Alton. in that State, fxrbliebing su anti-slavery puper. His torri- i upeech on the 5th of April, 1860, was one o 12 most thriliing appeals ever heard in Con- gas. It was toe outburst of & heart agonized Irusdring grief over s brother's assassination. Tuere had been equal violence on the part of the Souih beforeband, and Lovejoy’s speech was the crershelming response. Out of Lis wonderful denunciation grew the angry discussion between Pryer and Potter, 2od & challenge trom the oue, weepted by the otlier. Potter, beiag the chal- lenged party, chose bowieknives a8 the wespons, to which the other side objected. In the Press of April 15, 1360, I commented on thia affsir in an * Occasional,” as follows “The discussion in reference to the Pryor and Tetter duiicalty is kept up 1n all circlos with un- common animation. The great question of the Lour is whether the bowie-knife is auy more ‘vulgar, unchristisu, or ssvage than the pistol, the donble-barroled gun, the small sword, orthe rapier. The friends of Potter are multi~ Pring data sod strengchening themselves by £oing back o the code of honor in the days of curalry, and coming down to the present era. Thes allege that the battle-ax was tho favorite ¥eapon in the tournaments of old, and was wed by the bravest and most polished Knights of the middls sges. They contend that the enullsword exercise contiuues to be used in Tnzce and the brosd-sword in Germeny, and tiss the prelimivaries of theee contests are duly 2 arefally aranged. They argue further tief the bowie-knife, being a Southern produc- tan, has been for long years regarded as an m- Trovement upon all ; that it is used by Southern fstemen; and that to this asy the Arkansas *wahpici” is regarded as &n important part of 2 domestic economy of many of the moat ar- dent sdvocates of the Southern code of honor. Auog & large number of Southern men this vizw of the bowie-knifo is heartily sustained. I fztear the use of names, but heve heard gev- el disuinguished authorities quoted in proof of 2 rmark. “Ead Broderick accepted the knife in place of fieputol, he would beve had an even chance for Lilte; but, being_opposed by an expert, by tze who, to use Col.

Alerander Hemilton was killed in & duel by Aaron Burr, un- der circumstauces roflecting great discradit tpon the latter. Noeventof the Revolution excited more interest. The mortal combat between tyo Post Captains in the navy, Btephen Decatar and James Burron, at Bladensburg, on the 224 of March, 1820, will never be forgotten. At the first ahgl both fell. * They fired o near to- gethor.” 8ays an eye-witness, ** tbat but one ro- port was heard.” Decatur was kilied and Barron severely 'wounded. De Witt Clinton snd John Swartworth fought in 1802, exchsuging five shots. George 0. Dromgoolo, of Virginis, fought and killed Mr. Dugger, a gentleman of the samo State, in 1337, in a border county of North Carolna. David C. Broderick was killed by D. 8. Terry, of Californis, Sept. 16, 1869, in consequence of s differcnce on the Locompton question. Gen.J. W. Den- ver, while a member of the State Senate of Cal- ifornia, had a controversy with the Hon, Edward Gilbert, ex-member of Congress. in 1852, in re- gard to some lemslation, which resulted in a challenge from Gilbert, that was sccepted by Denver. Rifles were the weapons. Gtlbert fell at the socond shot, and oxpired in a few minutes. The Hon. J. W. McCorkle and the Hon, William M. Gwin, the former s Senator snd tbe latter a Ropresentative in Congross from the same Stato, had an affair in 1853, in Californis. The weapon was tho rifle, at throe puces, the combatants to wheel at the word and fire. After three ineffectual shots the difficulty was settled. Gen. Ssm Houston, though & brave man, gave his opinion on dueling as fol- lows: ¥ pever made s quarrel with mortal man on earth, nor will I ever do anything to originate & quarrel with any man, woman, or child on earth. If they quarrel with meit is their privilege, but I shall try to take oare that thev do me no harm.” George McDufHlo, the celebrated statesman, fought Col. ngs, of Georgia, on the 8th of June, 1823, near Lister's Forry, Southi Caro- lina, in consequence of &_political qusrrel. Me- Dudo was wounded aud disabled for life. A good story is told of Geo. Putnam, the Revola- tionary hero. He accepted a challenge and fixed tho time, and as his antagonist approached he wag greoted with ashot from Lutnem’s gun at thirty rods. As Putnam was reioading his piece, his adversary papiroached and said : ¢ What aro you about todo? Isthis the conduct of an American soldier and a man of honor ?" “ What am I about o do?" was the reply of tho General. “ A pretty question to puttos man yeu intend to murder ; I am about to kill vou, znd, if you do uot fight in less time than i takes old Heath to hang a Tory, you are a gone dog.” Of course, the other turned and ran away. The second affair was with s British of- ficor whochallenged lim. Putnam accepted, fixed the time and place, and when the Engliskman found him he was seated neara barrel, apparent- Iy containing powder, smoking Lis pipe. The eneral roquested him to take a seat on the other side of tho cask, aud then sot firotoa match communicating with the contents of the barrel. The officer looked at the burning fuse and retired. As he moved off the General said: *You are just as brave as I took you to be; this 18 nothing but a barrel of onions witha few grains of powder on the top to try you by. but you don't like the smell.” = While Pierte Soule was Minister at the Court of Madrid he had a quarrel with the Duke of Alba. _Trwo shots weres exchanged. At the second the Duke fell, severe- ly wounded below the knmee. John Quincy Adams in 1838 offered a series of resolutions in the House of Representatives against Andrew Stevenson, father of the present Senator from Kentucky, then the American Minister at En- giand, for sending a challenge to Daniel 0'Con- zell, the great Liberator, but they were laid upon the table, and when repeated in another form were disposed of in the same way. I could fill soveral volumes with published in- stances as they are_given m the books, but these will suffice. I caonot better terminato this gketch than by publishing_ the following statement of the grest duel which took pluce near Washington in 1819, between Gen. Armstead T. Mason. Senator in Congress from Virginia, and the celebrated John M. McCartv. They were brothers-in-law, and fought with muskets, cCarty did_not want to fight, but Mason prossed him. Mason's words were ns foliows : * Agree to any terms that he may pro- pose, or to auy distance—to three fect, his pro- tended favorite distance, or to three inches, should his impetuous and rash courage profer it, to any weapons or forms—pistols, muskets, or rifles—agree &t once,” e received the chellenge. McCarty proposed tc Sght on a barrel of powder, or with dirks. Both modes were objected to, and finally McCarty accepted the cartel, and_stated his terms ns follows ; Gentlomen, I agree to mect and fight your friend, Gen. A. T. Mason, to-morrow evening at 5 o'clock, at Montgomery Court-Houso. As I am at Jiberty to select the wenpons with which T am to fight. I beg leave to propose a musket charged with buckehot, at the distanco of ten feet.” Afterward they substituted a single ball for buckshot, and increased the distance to more than twelve feet. Col. McCarty killed Gen. Mason at the first fire, the ball passing through his breast. The following sequel to this deadly fend, which never appeared iz _print, i8 from the pen of one of the oldest citizens of Washington, who writes from personal knowledge: “On the 6th day of February, 1819, at Bla- densburg, in the District of Columbis, was fought one of the most remarkabls duels known in the annals of the bloody code. The parties wore Col, Armstesd Thompson Mason, then Sen- ator of Virginia, and Col. Johu McCarty. The parties to this sunguinary conflict were near neighbors in the County of Loudon, and broth- ers-in-law, and the diflcultios between them grew out of the political questions of that day. The fight was pressed by Col. Mason, against many protosts and expedients of Col. McCarty to avoid it. The distance finally settled upon was six paces, with musiets, rendering death to one or both certain, =and at the first fire Col. Mason fell mortally wounded. He left s widow with one son, then 15 months old, and the first intelligence which the wife had of the sad event orthe contro- versy was the snnouncement of har husbands death accompanied with his remaing, from that bloody fleld called the * field of hovor.” Even at that day there were msny Christian people who held the dueling code in abhorrence, and therenpon arose a grave question—whother within the consecrated ground of tho old Epis- copal Charch the remmins of a duelist should have Christian burial. ' These scruples were finally overcore, and the remains of Col. Mason now repose in tho ola church burying-grounds at Lecsburg, Va., but, singularly enough, no headstone or other monument denotes the spot where the once distinguished and honored Sen- ator Msson's remnius now repose. Beforo the duel Col. Mason made bis will, devising his entire estate, conmsting of some 3,000 scres of land un- der a high state of cultivation, with a largo ret- inue of slayes and other g)BrEon!J firbperty, t0 I8 wife and iufant_gon, Stephen Mason, share and share alike. From the date of Col. Ma- son's death until his widow’s demise, she was never known tospenk his name or personally al- Iude to her late busband, whose end was so tragic. The popular reason assigned for her pingular course was thatshe thought that her husband had done & great wrong by engaging in » mortal combat without any_intimation to her under the circumstances in which sho was placed. The widow romsined in the family man- sion, which was capacious, elegantly furnished, snd everything thereto appertaining was on & scale of regal magnificence; but during the mi- nority of her son, embracing & period of twenty eats, she retired to the back apartments of the Touse and never put her foot in the front part untit her son became of full age, when with some ceremony she took the arm of her son and walked into the rooms 5o long deserted. At this time Mrs, Mason, with her son Stophen, was the | rightfol owner of this immense estate, DOW vory much enhanced in value, but in their possesaion it was destined to remain but s fow yoars. +The son, together with his mothar, very soon became_involved by sundry indorsoments and otber obligations, by which the eutire estate was scld under tho Sherifi's hammer. From thenceforth_the widowed mother and ber only son were without shelter, and reduced to pen- ury and want. The son Stephen, being thus without employment or means, sought and ob- tained a Captain's commiasicn_in the army, and was_killed" in the war with Mexico, at Cerro Gordo. Such wera the sad results inflicted upon & an eminent family sod the sacrifice of bigh | osition and the wasting of palatial estate, to - & wmcl;‘hu beon 1;l.lslytclllnd tth! eodafi:{ honor, low, a3 to bis antagonist upon . bloody Seld, Col.

Another gon of the Queen has received a seat in the Houee of Lords, and there has naturally been the usual kind of talk in the papers. And not the least notable thing in the matter is the pieco of advice giveu by the ZTimes to the Duke of Connnught, that, though ho has becomea Dake, yet ha 18 not to do what another Duke may do; that, though the law gives him certain powers, he must take care not to make use of them ; that, though he becomes & member of the Legislature with tho right to speak nnd vote in oue House of Parlinment, yet he must pot think of yoting there, whilo other membera of the ssme body freely may. We are not going to discuss tho practical svisdom of the advice ; rfm: is quite another matter. We are going ouly to meditate a little on the singular state of things which it really is when » man who has just been clothed with” new powers and new nfihm, to say tho least, without manifest absurdity, be at once cautioned to abstain from all use of the rights and ‘powers with which he has just been clothed. ‘This etato of things, liks many othor things in this country, has come of-itself ; it is not the rosult of any formal enactment; for it would be Lard to conceive a law forbiddiug & man to exercisehis legal rignts without takiug those legal rights from him. It is one of the cases in which s couventional understauding almost as strong 8 law has gradually grown up. The Duke of Connaught, a few days back, was a Commoner gligible to a soat in tho House of Commons; now Le1s g Peer with o seat in the House of Lords. But it would cortainly be thought strauge, most likely it would be called ‘“‘unconsticutional,” if he woro to take to the carcer which is open to other membera of the Houses of Lords and Commons, It would not bo thought the thing for a sou of the sovereigu to_take, as any other member may if he can, 3 lending par in the de- bates of the House, to bold a place in the Lody which ufrnctil:nlly administers the Government, or to part among those whose functions— Do less cansticutionally recognized—it is to look out for tho orrors of those who sdminister the Govornmoent, and to take their placo if they can. Bat no law hinders him from doing these things ; it the Duke of Connaught should stand forth, us | the Bluck Prince did, as s Parliumentary leader, & chiof of opposition, the foremost among the champions of reform, he has oxactly tho samo logal right to do all tus us tho Black Prince Bad, The change which makes it impossible for the Duke of Counsught to do with tho general ap- proval what the Black Prince did—a change which therefore makes it impossiblo for him 1o do it st sll—comes very naturally from the changes which have taken place since then m the condition of the kingly office itself. But it comes from them combined with cortain other influences, of quite anather kind, and coming from quite suothor quarter, but which have practically fitted in with those changes in & most remarkable way. The changes which made our ovoreigns what s now understood by the words *cousuitutional monnrcus” are all of uative wth, and every change has implied some f::;sening of the real royal power. but side by side with this process, the coutinental notion of a royal family, as something_altogotber distiuct from tho nation, 8 notion which lad its root in the extremest notions of royal power, came in along with the Hapovarian dynasty; and the two things, 80 utterly opposite in their origin, starting from principles the most hoscile to une another, have been found In practice to work well together. A royal family thera las indeed been from tho beginning, & family honored above all others as the NOBLEST AMONG THE NOBLE, ! a family out of which, in an earlier stage, Kings were chosen, and whose members in & later stage have succeeded to the crown according to rules marked down by law. Two members of this royal family, the eldestson and tho eldest daughter of the reiguing sovereign, have actual rights and priviloges bestowed by the law. The Test have, like tho children of peers, a barren precedence only. The eldest son is a peer by Dirths ; the other membera of the family are nof, choosos to do o for any other or anything olse, unless the King for them what he may equally of his subjects. It must, of course, not be forgotten that, though reverence for the royal family has cer- tainly grown stronger, thongh the distinction Dotween them and other people bas certainly grown wider within the last hundred and fifty years or 80, set it would have been equally & sign of what we mesn if it had mere- Iy stayed ss it was. For sll other dis- tinctions bave pgot fainter and faint- er. It 18 now thought to be an bonor to “gttend " on—in plain words, to be a servant to —a 8 royal” Duko or Duchess. No ono thinks it en honor to *‘attend” a Duke or Dachess who isnot royal. Now we need pot say that thera was a time when mon of any raok thought it an bouor to **sttend” men of the rank next above their own. When & nobleman had gentlemen and koights in_ his own ser- vice, it was not wonderful that be should not disdain the service of a King, or even of a King's gon. The remarkable thing is that, while the sorvice of rank to rank has died out in all other cases, it has lived on in this. We suspect that the distinction has, in somo points, grown positively stronger; but even if it Lhas o, it has practically grown stronger by remainiug tho only distinction. While the royal faumily was onco mercly the highest stago of many ascend- ibg stages, it now stands by itself, parted from sll below in & wayin which none of the lower stagos are parted from ono another. Or, per- haps we should say, that it is the highest stage but one which has gained, while the highest. of 8l has lost. When wo call the doings of the Etheling * royal,” we cortainly exalt tho Ethel- ing ut the expense of the King. Wo havo said that two opposite causes, st Jeast two causas springing from opposite sour- ces, have joned togather to bring about this stafo of tiungs. As the personal suthority of the crown becomes less and less, 88 royalty be- comes more and more of & coustitutional ab- straction, it follows almost naturally that the homaga paid to the aovereign will become, if not greater in degree, at least different 1n kind. Thofieas real authority a sovereign has, the more does ho become a person whose sayings are not to be contradicted, whose actsare not to be criticised. For the conventional system of a congtitntional monarchy takes care that the sovereign shall not saysnything that can be con- tradicted, or do auything that can_be criticised. It does not follow that & constitutional King is & mere puppet. What Ammianus said mockingly of a despot and his favonite, may be said mora gravely and in & better sonso of & King who is not a despot. ,Constautius was ssid to have s good deal of influence with tho chief of the eunuchs, and, in o better sense, s sonsiblo Kingmny have a good deal of influence with & sonsible Minister. But it is the Anigter alons who is set up to be contradicted and criticise he King personally never comes forward, as Kings who really ruled often did, to oppose or dispute with any of bis subjects. No modern Kiug is likoly to bo told by oue of his ZTarls, * By God, Sir King, I will neither go nor hang.” Dut that is because no modern King is likely to say to one of lus Earls, * By God, Sir Earl, you sbail cither go or haug.” The greater the King's personal power, the more sure Lo is to meet with direct opposition, the more sure his acts are to be fully canvassed and con- demned. The more the King retires from the exercise of personal authority and tle contlicts which it brings with it, the more Le withdraws into & region beyond censure and criticism. He thus gets surrounded by a balo of reverence which Goes pot spring directly from his oflice, and which can moro easily extend itself w those ersonal power, his sous, if _they thought good, taok & leading part in public affairs. As A GREAT NOBLEMAN started in puslic life with a great advantage, » King's son started with 8 greater ndvantage etill, And it was not at ail thought to be his duty to Torbear tomake use of thav sdvantage, any more than it was the duty of the nobleman. As the King has more and more retired from tho per- sonal excrcise of power, it has more and more come to be held that the business of his sons is to hold aloof from the practical work of pablic Jifo, and_to keop themsolves for purposes of show. The proceas has been ual. Thereis » marked difference between the position of the sons of the present Queen and that of the gons of Georgo II. and George III. Bat the position of the sons of George IL. and George ITL. differs et more widely from the position of the sons of Edward [T1. and Henry IV. No Prince of the House of Brunswick has been the acknowledged | Jeader either of the Ministry or the Opposition in either House of Parliament. Both positions —or what unswered to thom in thoso days—were eld by Kings' 80n8 in the fourtoenth and ff- teenth centuries. ‘This is one cause, but, aa wo have said, it has been strengthansd by an opposita cause. The b Kings of the House of Brunswick broughi over with them s number of notions about the great- ness of royal and princely families, and the wide distinction between them and the rest of man- kind, which had never before been heard of in England. A change camo in these matters when the descendant of the Walfs succeeded the granddaughter of Lord Chaacellor Clarendon. The change in nomenclature was an outward sign. Englishmen were tanght, but only grada- ully, to talk of *Princess” Emily and “ Princess " Caroling with tougues which had been used to the Lady Maryand the Lady Anne. The thing reached its climax, not #o much in the so-called *“‘Royal Marriage Act” iteelf, as in the feelings which led to it, apd in tbe popular interpretation put upon jt. The common, though mis- taken, saying—practically refuted by the good senso’of our present Queen—that neither the Eing nor any member of his family can marry a subject,”” marks the full separation of the royal family from the rest of the world. The practical lessening of the royal &)war renders it practically convenient that members of the royal famuly should abstain from that prominent part in public affairs which Was once open to them ay to other people. The now Continental notion fostered the notion that there was somethiag, not 28 our fathers beld, in the regal office, but inthe mere royal blood, which made its owner something of a different nature from other men. Opposite to their origin, the two doctrines work- a&) well togotber, aud they have gradually led tosa stateof things in which nobody is sur- prised that, when the Queen’s sonis clothed with rights and powors which he bad not before, he isnt onco warned that lemust not think of using these rights and powers as other holders of them may. Another incidental cause has helpedin all this. For noarly three couturics **royal” personages were go scarce in England that it was no won- der that, when they began tobe more common, people began to look upen them a8 o distinct class from other people. All through the six- toonth and seventeenth centurics tho royal fami- ly consisted of very few mombors; sometimes, a3 in the reign of Elizabetls, there could not ve snid to be sny royal family at all Botween Henry IV. aud George L six sov- ercigns only wore the fathers of a Prince of Wales; two of them, it may be noted, wore the fathers of two Princes of Wales. And in all that time Charles I. 28 Prince of Wales and James II. as Duke of York, were the only won or Lrother of & King who bad ever the opportunity of playing any part in affaira, The rest either died young or succecded young. Throngh the whole sixteenth century’ thore were crowds of peoplo who had contingont cluims to tho crown, but they were not people whom anybody would have called royal. The * royal family," a8 & working iustitution, really takes aleap from the sod of Hoory IV, to tho sonand graudson of Georgo L—is it too bitter o sarcasm to ssy, from John Duke of Bedford to Frodevick Prince of Walea? Botweon theso thera was only a Prince or = Princess now and then. It was no wonder then that, when the “roysl family” began ngain, they started on quite uow terms. And after ull, no ono has over told us what is the royal family. No onehas yet been further off the reigning soveroign than first cousin. The status of the more distant kinsfolk bas never beecn fixed, because mo case has over arisen to call for its’ being fixed. Wo trust that the line of the Dukes of Conuaught may not'die out #0 soon as tuo lined of 50 many otlier royal dukedoms bave died out. Dut wo should greatly like to know—it is not the first time that we have put the question—what the son of & younger son of the present Duke will be called. Unlesa the reigning sovereign spo- cially bestows some rank or title on Lim, it looks very much as if he will come iato the world without even a surname. and will be nothing at all until he bocomes a Christian or otherwise ob- taius a premomen. ————— The Latest Discoveries on the Site ox Ninevel. Mr. Goorge Smith has just returned to Lon~ don from Nineveh, sud sends to the Athenaum these notes regarding a part of & curious tablet containing an Assvrian copy of an early Baby- lonian text: document were already in the British Museum. The geuealogy and opening paragraphs of the text wero, however, still wanting, and conso- quently thera was Do evidenca 1s to tha age of the inscription. I have now discovered, i tho Palaco Assur-bani-pal, at Koyunjik, the remain- ing portion of the inscription, which proves to bo of groat interest. The geuealogy presents six names, four of which are porfect; the names are esrly in style, and belong to the most ancieut eriod of Babylonian history, one curions point Eemg that the King counts as his ancestor Sug- amuna, who was afterward worshiped by the Babylonians as a god. The date of this text is probably at Jesst as early as B. C: 2000, and it gives a carions view of the history and religion of Babylop at that early period. It appears that in one of the wars of that ago the Babyloninus bad been defeated by the people of Hani, a | placo the name and existence of which bLad passed away in Assyrian times, and the images of Merodach aud Liratbanit (the Succoth Ben- oth of tho Bible) kad been carricd away to the land of Hapi. The Kiug of Babylon sent a high officer to Hani, who brought back these sacrod images. whon they wero rededicated with great splendor, the monarch makieg rich presents of gold, jowels, and clothing to tho shrines.” “Portions of this _interesting | PROFESSIONAL.
