J SS- 1 1 jiCLurrar yjjtr T i By ALFRED SORENSEN A dinner party given In London In 1772 by General Oglethorpe, wtio took quit prominent part In Ilia dlaeutwlun acttlenient of Georglu, arose over tbe question whether luelllng waa consistent with moral duty. Dr. Rumuel Johnson, who waa one of .the guest, maintained Hint a man hod a right to defend hla honor. Turning to Boswell, Ida hlogrutdier. he asked : "What would yon do If you were affronted?' "I ahould think It necessary to tight, waa Ida reply. That aolvea the question," aold Goldsmith. No, air I emphatically declared Johnson, It doe not fob low that what a man would do la therefore right He who fights a duel dee not light from passion agulnat hla antagonist but out of to avert the attgma of the world, and to prevent blmaelf from being driven out of aorlety. 1 could wish there were not that auperflulty of refine nient; but while aueh notion prevail no doubt a ninn may lawfully fight a duel.! Henry Clay, who fought two duels one with Humphrey Marshall, and the other with John Randolph held virtually the aame opinion as Doctor Johnson, and advocated the pussnge of a bill by the United States senate against duel ling. He admitted, however, that the man with a high sense of honor, and nice aenNlhlllty, when the question Is whether he shall fight or have the Anger of acorn pointed at him. Is unable to resist ; and few, very few, are found willing to adopt aueh an alternative. During the days of chivalry In the southern states it required great moral courage not to accept a challenge, and there were very few re fusnta. John Randolph, whose duel with Clay was a bloodless affair, waa challenged several times, but declined owing to religious scruples. When he stood In front of Clay his pistol was accidentally discharged, muzzle downwards, before the word to Are was given. In the second round Clay missed his mark, and Randolph Ared up In the air. Thereupon they made up and shook hands. Randolph was frequently branded as a coward, and was once publicly posted by Gen. James Wilkinson In the following Insulting language: In Justice to my character I denounce to the world John Randolph, member of congress, as a prevaricating, base, calumniating scoundrel, poltroon and coward. Notwithstanding this great provocation, as well as others of a like character, Randolph stood Arm In his determination not to engnge In affairs of honor." In replying to Wilkinson's challenge Randolph concluded his note by saying: I cannot descend to your level. This Is my Anal answer." This waa the enuse sf Wilkinson's vitriolic posting" of the congressman from Virginia. In 17S5 Gen. Nathaniel Green twice declined to accept a challenge from Captain Gunn of Georgia, who thereupon threatened to personally pssault him. Cut Gunn failed to carry, out his threat as General Green sent him word that he was prepared to defend himself as he always carried pistols. Gen. Sam Houston turned down several chalIf they quarrel with me that Is their lenges. privilege." said he, but I shall try to take care that they do me no harm." Fahlus Stanley and Zerharlnh Johnston. United States naval officers, had a misunderstanding in 1S50 and the former sent the latter a challenge. Johnston refused to fight, thereupon Stanley posted" him as a offward In a Washington hotel, d and dismissed from the and was fife. hair-trigg- court-martiale- navy. General Harney, whose courage no one ever doubted, was challenged by General Summer, but Instead of accepting he had the moral stamina to have the challenger In 1SS4 John S. Wise, member of congress from Virginia, In replying to those who expected him to resent some severe newspaper assaults by fighting a duel with Page McCarty, said: "McCarty's abuse of me has no more effect than a dog barking at the moon. His Invltitlon comes too late. Time has been when I rn'itht have been fool enough to Indulge In such folly but with life and Its age. and with a broader view responsibilities, I have bidden firewell to tbe McCarty type of manhood." Sir Walter Raleigh, after he had killed several ,'jiea In duels, and had declared that he would never fight again, was challenged by a young Inian to whom he replied. If I could as easily 'wipe from my conscience the stain of killing vou las I can this spittle from my face you should ot live another minute." Although duels. In various forms and with rules differing from time to time, date back to remote ages, when the memory of man runneth not to the contrary, It was not until early In the century of the Christian era thnt duelling was adopted In Europe as a method of settling "affairs of honor" In accordance with an established code. So prevalent did duelling become in France that I.ouls XIII issued an edict against the practice and sent many duellists to This severity, however, did not the scaffold. much abate the sanguinary encounters, but early ,ln tbe reigo of Louis XIV qu'te a number of court-martial- Six-teent- h '60-cnll- Safety Razor Blades Only 2c Per Blade rv I- self-defens- . ft ! vltuiH-rutlvClinton' references, took up an active defense of Burr and charged that Clinton's vicious attacks were based on personal and selfish motives. This angered Clinton, who denounced Swartout as a liar, a scoundrel and a villain. Such vilifying epithets were nmre than Swartout could stand and he accordingly chal longed Clinton, who promptly accepted. The shooting match took place In 1S02 on the ground nt Weclmwkcn, K. J where the famous duel between Burr and Hamilton was held In 1S04, and where Hamilton's son hnd been killed In a duel In isot. On reaching the designated spot Swartout demanded thnt Clinton should sign a written apology. Clinton Indignantly refused to do anything of the kind. Just before taking their plnres Clinton remarked: I wish I hnd the prln clpnl here." He referred to Burr, who. If he hnd stood before Clinton at thnt meeting, might not have lived to kill Alexander Hamilton. Swartout was seconded by Colonel Smith, and Clinton by Rlchnrd Biker. The first shots were harmless. Biker. In accordance with the Instruction of his principal, now requested Colonel Smith to ask Swartout If he was satisfied. "I am net,' wns his answer. Another exchange of shots were made without effect, and again Swartout was not satisfied. A third exchange resulted without Injury, and Swartout. upon being again asked If he wns satisfied, replied: "I nin not. and I shall not he until the apology Is made which I have demanded. Ills defiant attitude was certainly that of XIncbeth who shouted: Lny on. Macduff! And d d be him that first cries Hold, enough I " The prepared apology, dictated by Swartout. wns again presented to Clinton for his signature, with the declaration thnt If he refused to ittach Ids name the fight must go on to the finish. Clinton declined to sign nny paper regarding the matter In dispute, and snld thnt he hnd no animosity against Mr. Swartout and would willingly shake linnds and agree to meet him on the score of former friendship." This friendly offer was declined and the conibntnnts resumed their positions and fired the fourth shot. This time Swartout was wounded In the left leg. about five Inches below the knee. He was not disabled and Insisted upon proceeding with the contest, saying thnt It was useless to nk him to quit At this stage of the affair Clinton once more asserted thnt he entertained no animosity. Furthermore, he stated he was sorry for what hnd occurred, and then offered to shake hands and forget the past While this conversation was In progress, the attendant surgeon extracted the bullet from Swartout's leg. For the fifth time he fared Clinton, nnd wns again wounded In the left leg, a few Inches above the ankle. Still standing, and determined as ever, he called for another shot. Thereupon Clinton refused to comply, nnd walked away. Swartout said he wns mueh surprised at his action In neither apologizing nor affording full satisfaction. While Clinton was In the United States senate be became involved In another affair of honor." In the course of an animated debate he hnd used language thnt wns offensive to Senntor Dayton of New Jersey, who wns a friend of Burr. The next day Dayton sent him a challenge which wns d accepted without any correspondence. They met on October 24. 1803, and upon Clinton a making satisfactory explanation nnd offering an apology the duel was called off. Two years after this Incident Swartout fought n duel with Itiker, who was severely wounded. Biker became a Judge of the city recorders court of New York, nnd served on that bench for many years. e --4 noblemen, whose courage was unquestioned, made a compact to refrain from the fighting of duels. Their stand caused h falling off In these combats, and In 1044 Louis XIV organized a court of chivalry to pass judgment on "affulrs of honor," which up to that time had been settled by a resort to arms. Today there Is a law In France making the killing In a duel punishable as a homicide. In recent years duels huve been of rare occurrence In France, generally resulting harmlessly and regnrded as a Joke carried out for notoriety. In the United States especially In the South and In California duels were very common up to the close of the Civil war, army and navy officers and politicians being the most frequent participants. Today, however, a meeting to "shoot It out" on the "field of honor" Is an unheard-o- f event and would he a front-pagsensation. One of the most determined and desperate duels ever fought In the United States wns that In which DeWItt Clinton and John Swartout exchanged shots five times. It was the result of differences and hitter quarrels between the political followers of Clinton and the adherents of Aaron Burr. DeWItt Clinton was admitted to the bar of New York at an early age, and Immediately entering the school of politics he became an apt pupil under the tutorship of his uncle, George Clinton, Republican leader and governor, who mnde him his secretary and appointed him to other secretarial positions. George Clinton wns a deputy In the New York provincial congress; a brlgndler-genernIn the Continental nrm.v; was l successively elected governor of New York from 1777 to 1795; then served In the legislature; was again elected governor in 1800; and wns mnde vice president of the United States In 1S04, filling thnt office until his death, eight years later. DeWItt Clinton rose rapidly to eminence and power In the Republican party, and had fully as distinguished a career as his talented uncle. When he wns twenty-eigh- t years old he was elected a member of the lower house of the legislature, and the following year he became a state senator. From that time to the end of his life he was, with brief Interims, a continuous lie wns United Stntes senator from 1S01 to 1803, when he resigned to accept appointment to the office of mayor of New York city After serving four years In this position he was removed, but was reappointed two years later. He was again put out of this office In 1S10, but was reinstated and continued to serve as mayor e office-holde- until r. 1S13. Clinton was an unsuccessful Presidential can didate In 1812. From 1811 to 1813 he held the and In honorary office of lieutenant-governo1817 he was elected governor; wns In 1S20; declined to be a candidate two years later: and was again elected in 1S24 and In 1820. Ills brilliant and remarkably successful career was cut short by death while stiy In office. Clinton was a public-spiritecitizen. At the very beginning of his career he was an earnest advocate of public Improvement. It was owing to his efforts thnt the Erie canal was built, and this great achievement added much to his popularity Clinton and Burr became engaged In fierce political disputes In which offenstve personalities were the outstanding features. John Swartout. an intimate friend and defender of Burr, became more or less mixed up In the quarrels of the two leaders.
