They ..l'leiiity which led to theWis -
, Crocket duel began on the 17th of this
month. It seems that when Wise was in E
Wythevihe. a few weeks ago, a conver t
tioli took plnee Iietween himr and .d1' t
Clotcketr, i which the latter alleged that
Wise, madie uie. of the expression : "There
is no honor in politics." Thir,. CT 4 ocke.tt
hard repeated as coming from! Wise teal dl1
thi~ fact had been reportcd to the ...r.
Meeting Mr. Crockett in the evening on i
ilhe hotel iporch at Mirion, Wise called him t
aside and interrogated him about i t.
i ruckett aeknowledged that he chad made t
the statement and that it was true. Wise i 1
denounced it as false and struck at Crocket. s
Before t latter had time to resent.i'l the i
blow hisi arm was -caught by Marshal 1
Watts, wiho was stan ding close byi :d i
then a policeman appeared on the scene d
and commanded the peace. Perhaps the v
difficulty might have ended here, but the a
next day the Richmond Whig, Mahtone's tj
organ, printed a telegram,.i . which was si
the followi ng: :
A short time after Capt. Wise concluded his g
speech he met a Fender whoi had slaudered hint
recenutly. He asked him if he had maie certtail
statements, and the gentleman admitted tha14t he
had. Capt. Wise punished him severely on the
spot. i
W hen Crockett heard this and other re- "tI
ports to the effect that he had .been beaten ja
by Wise be and, his friends regarded such au
assertions as imputatiilos upOin his courdige; !il
This feeling was aggravated when the
Richmond Whig' camenl out witht second i 8
article, which said : lt
The affair was much talked about yesterday, 8'
and the question was repeatetCly Hsket-"Wht. lha
was the namerni t1te man whom C:apt. Wi'e d(rui)- ii4
bed so roughly ?" A private teleegram' rec4eived ,'1
tere said it w ,on S. Crockett, Cilommon
wealth's Attjruexy foer Wvthe county, and tiat
Capt. Wise gave Bil 4 threeiul iivanian licks direct
from the eh- ulH'er, and came out of the difilulty
without a scratci.,
Mr. Crockett at once prepared a carei
severely denounciung Wise and calling him b tu
a liar and scoundrel, biut it was not' p:lb- ig
lished. When Wise left. .,e iry a 'e;i e
Sdays ago and chaie to this section of the r
State, Mr. Crockett at once opened hosatile '
correspondence with thim, winding u1o by pIN
challenging Wise to a duel-; The ct'httr at:

A Great COnstitutttona l onflict
in Norway.
The extraordinary constitutiotdi eodnflict
which is taking place in Norway, between
King Oscar on the one side and the largest
I proportion of the: Norwegilns off the other
side, appears to be aliproaching a serious
crisis, and deserves attention.
A constitutional struggle has for several
xyears gone on also in Denmark; but King
Christian has, in a most prudent and con
constutitional manner kept "the-King" inI
the backgrothid, leaving to his Ministers
to carry on the fight with the constitutional I
means in their power; and even the Radi
cal leaders were honest anougi ai short
time ago to cknliotiwi gee that the Cabinet
had retmained strictly on legal ground.
The consequence is that King Christian is
trusted by the nation, and that his popular
ity daily increaases, notwithstanding thei
pairfamentsry troubles.
In Norway, on the contrary King Oscar
speaks persondlly as "the King,"It is "the
royal i" wh!ich a few days ago delivered !

to back Wilson to fight Sullivan accordin, to
7r the rules of the London prize ring, for
Be [ $5,.0.0 a side and the championship of the
v! world. The names of the States of Mis
sk sissippi, Louisiana, and Texas were to be
io written on slips of paper and placed in '
is hat, and the State drawn to he the hbatle
,k ground.
Le Madden said that he would not let Sulli
al van go South to fight Wilson on any terms,
-i_ and that itardlig knew Sullivan would not
to get fair play in the Southern States. lHe
, was ready, however, to inatch Sullivan to
fight for $5,000 a side, the battle to take
it place in the East, West or North. Madden
:b said harry Hill could .be stakeholder, and
i that he would put $1,000 isnhis hands as a
. forfeit for the match to' cime off in eight
d weeks from signgag articles. He dared
r Harding to cover the money. Jas. Diunne
of Brooklyn,who defeated the giant boxer,
Bill Dav is, the champion of Californa,, ihn
1865, for $1,000 and the championanip of
d America, then aroe and said: "Gentle
me en, this is all child's backing and filling.
g In old times when Tom flyer, John Mor
e rissey, John C. Heenan, Yankee Sullivan,
Joe Coburn, or Jem Mace agreed to fight
they made the mAtch. Buitit seemf to me
the boxers of these days don't mean fight,
i but want to go through the country giv
S·ing exhibitions of sparring. Now I will
fight either Mr. Sullivan or Mr. Wilson
Sfr $2,500 or $5,000 a side, regardless of ]
States. I'11 fight anywhere, and to prove
t, lhat l mean business I am ready to put up
ta deposit of $1,000 now in Mr. Hill's hands
to maks the martch. First covering illhst

SThis seemred to surprise the haker:s of
Su!liv:an and Wiilon. Finally MX adden
i id, "I want Sullivan to fight Wilson and t
iwhen be gets through I will match S:dli- t
van ag:dnsz anybody." it
Arthur Chambers in reply to Dintune's I
challenge, aiid, "1 am not commissioned 17
to matlchi Wilson againat any man but Sul- is
iivan, and I ain't going to bet $5,000 of my i
own ironey on Wilson."
After Dunne and his backers had left the a
Soom, Chambers sent for him, saying that t
he would match Wilson against him, but -
when I)unine appeared, Chambers said: i
"Gentlemen, I have altered my mind. Mr.
Dunne, FI write to you and give you an t
answer within a week." t
"All right," replied Dunne, "any time;
you see fit I'll be ready." -
The result of the meeting was the sign
ing of the following agreement: " c

COL. Bo WIE's DEATH.
Frightful Tortures Inflicted Upon
the Texan Patriot.
Sensational articles, appear in a special
edition of The Houston Daily Post this af
ternoon,written byW. P. ZLiber, of Grimes
coaIty, professing to give the first account I
of the massacre of the Texan garrison in
ithe celebrated fortress of the Church of the
Alamo, at San Antonio, March 6, 1838.
Zuber says he got the account from a Mex
icanfi'rer known in Tex as as Polin, who
was Q ith the Mexican army at the time of
the eaptuire of the Alamo. Polin says that
after the Miexican soldiers had taken the
fort, sealed the walls, a n'1 put th garrison
tro thaaw ord, SantaAnirna, accompanied by
neIibers of his staff, entered tihe fort and
vi:ewed the Texa::slain. Polin,, being a
lifer and privileged characterner, entered with
Santa A.nna, and immediately behind the
greet Mexicane dictator. Santa Anna or
eŽ'd the citizens of .fin Automo to pick,
'ut the corpse of Col. Travis, the Texan
commander, which he ran his sword
through. After Santa Anna had retired
from the fortreas, two :Mexican ofoersi

house of the Chicago Furniture comiiipail
and took a receipt therefore. When See
vitle came back to business he miainaged to
geot his office futrniture out of pawn by gi
ing a chattel mortigage on it for a small
amounmt for the cort of warehousing thl
goods. Snubsequently Cole miade a pre

ing a piano, to a baker named Thomas E.
Whelan, for the pretended consideration
of $500, it being agreed that IMrs. Seovihle
could redeem the furniture from Whelan,
on payment of the above amount. Cole
has also since repievined most of the office
furniturm¬, to Seoville's great ineonven
ienctee. Scoville now accuses Cole of taking
advantage of Ids wife's distre. of mrind
consequent on the assassin's trial to get
her to conspire against her husband. 110
charges Cole, also, with deceit and usury
of the worst kind. The warehouse receint
is also, ia Secoville's opilion, invalid for
want of compliance with certain legal
forms. Again, the mortgages given by
hr-s. Scoville are declared to be void and
not binding on any of the furniture. .n
conclusion, an accounting is asked, Sco
ville being ready to pay any amount found
due by the court, and an injunction to
restrain aiy further unlawful acts by Cole
and his confederates for- the present.
Judge Jameson granted a temporary in
junction on reading the bill. Mr. Seovilo.
files his bill as his own soiieitor.

4 Texas pre:acherý are said to be very ec
Scentric, andt their mild unnaturainess has,,
given rise to a great mnty remarks and a
few stories. The following narrative waN8
told us confidentially by a slanderer:
A minister arose befoe before large audice,
Stook his text, and began preaching-.
_.A bIeik firing of pistoi began on the our
side of the church.

tering fell from the wall close to his head.
S"Ithink parson that it refeira to so:,n ona
else," replied the deacon.
The minister raised a tumbler of weater atnd
was in the act of applying it to his lip1
when the glass fell shattered by a shor.
"This la an innuendo no longer," said
the minister, wiping the water front his
vest; "this i. what L terra an umnistakablie

Is there another preacher in the house ?"
"Yes," said a rman, throwing dowr.a

and pulling at the waiot of his pant rjlk

an immediate improvement in the firiga

insomuch that the deacons sat working
theit fingers. After a while th mnhri.iter
