THE FATAL SPANISH DUEL.
Thebb is scarcely any country In the world,
except France or Spain, where a tragedy like
that reported by the cable telegrams from
Madrid could have occurred. Elsewhere the
members of royal families do their fighting
by proxy, and lack at once the courage and
the motive to risk their lives in mortal com
bat. Cut the1 disposition to dare fate in the
high old Roman fashion still prevails so
strongly on Spanish soil that on Saturday last
the Duke do Montpensier killed Prince En.
rique de Bourbon in a duel, which was ar
ranged from the outset to be a "fight for a
funeral." The surviving party to this
fearful conflict is a prominent candidate
for the throne of Spain. He is the son of
Lotus Philippe, ex-King of France, the hus
band of the sister of Isabella, ex-Queen of
Spain, and a blood relation of the man he
killed, as well as his cousin by marriage.
Prince Enrique is the brother of the hus
band of the ex-Queen Isabella, as well as the
cousin of Isabella and of Montpensier's wife.
He was one of the few modern Bourbons
gifted with courage and brains. He de
plored the vices of Isabella, and was by her,
in turn, ostracized. He aoquiesced cheerfully
in the results of the revolution, and made
such fervent protestations of his devotion to
liberalism that he won the friendship of same
of the most radical of Spanish Republicans,
and two Republican deputies in the Cortes
acted as his seconds in the late duel. His
real position, however, was similar to that
assumed by Thilippo dEgaHto,the grandfather
of Montpensier, in the French revolution of
the last century. A few months ago he
addressed a remarkable letter to the Regent
of Spain, in which ho described at length the
earnestness of his repeated efforts to induce
Isabella to abdicate in favor of her son, and
he intimated that it was part of his scheme
that this son should become the husband of
his (Prince Enrique's) daughter. He pro
fessed a perfect willingness to submit to the
decrees of the nation if it decided
in favor of a republic; he avowed
Ms opposition to priestcraft and absolutism
under all circumstances; but he evidently
hoped that he would become a commanding
power behind the new throne he was en
deavoring to erect. He seems to have con
sidered Montpensier one of the greatest ob
stacles to the success of this ambitious pro
ject, and he has resolutely antagonized the
royal pretensions of the Duke throughout.
After bitterly denouncing him in various let
ters published from time to time, these
attacks culminated in an onslaught
branding Montpensier as "a Jesuit, conspira
tor, and bloated French pastry-cook," which
was the immediate cause of the duel. In
reality the combatants were literally "fighting
for a crown," and one of the most
romantio and thrilling of ancient
incidents was thus repeated in
this prosaic age. Nothing could be more
sanguinary than the terms of the duel ar
ranged for this mighty stake. At a distance
of ten paces, or, after the first shot, only three
paces, they fired alternately from revolvers.
Three shots were discharged on each side, and
two slight wounds were inflicted before the
third bullet of the Duke killed his rival.
"Whatever we may think of these descendants
of an old race which is generally deemed
effete, they cannot at least be branded as
cowards after this terrible exhibition of mis
applied courage. "Whether the cause which
Prince Enrique so valiantly espoused will
perish with him remains to be Been, but it is
scarcely probable that Montpensier's chanoes
of success will be improved by his bloody
deed; and it would not be surprising if such
a reactionary feeling of sympathy for the
slaughtered mans family should spring up
that his death would open up a pathway for
his daughter, in conjunction with the son of
Isabella, to the Spanish throne.
Notwithstanding; the denunciations le
veiled against General Sheridan by the new
school of Democratic hnmanitarians which
has lately sprung np in Congress, he issued a
general order on Saturday commending Colo
nel Baker and his command for their slaugh
' ter of a band of Piegan Indians, in Montana,
He alleges that these savages have hitherto
murdered and robbed the white settlers with
comparative impunity, retreating north of
the British line when they were pursued, and
returning whenever they could plunder,
scalp, and slay defenseless communities. The
only possible mode of punishing them was by
a winter campaign, which, as they were un
prepared for it, turned against them tactics
similar to their own. Sparing neither age
nor sex in their incursions, the Ameri
can soldiers were equally merciless,
and though the sacrifice of Indian
women and children is indefensible,
from our Eastern stand-point, Sheridan so far
sympathizes with the sanguinary spirit that
is always developed in frontier warfare that
2m has not stopped to consider the age or sex
of the "one hundred and seventy-three In
dians" who were killed. In one sense, this
is barbarism, and if it can be palliated at all,
it must be by a reoollection of the hideous
brutality of the foe. The soldiers who re
membered the fate of their comrade! at Fort
rhil. Kearney, and who were familiar with
the lonir catalogue of bloody deeds perpe
trated by their adversaries, were in no mood
to be merciful, we cannot appiaua tueir
reUulitM vgry; but tsoiW i.iw W
condemn it as a totally imiofensible act be
come too bitter in thoir consnres.lot thorn try
n few winter campaigns on the plains, and
they will be better preparod, after this school
ing, to decide what policy should be par-mod
with the Indians.
Tuk FinsT experibncb of the women right
ists in the enjoyment of one of the noble
privileges heretofore monopolized by tyran
nical man is trying. Impanelled as a jury
in the Howie murder case, they cannot agree,
and a despatch from Omaha states that, after
being confined for four nights, "the women
look pale and fatigued," notwithstanding the
innovation upon ancient usages by which
they "were allowed their dinners and sup
pers." Strict orders were given, however, to
have them looked up tintil the time appointed
for the meeting of the Court, so that they
have the full benefit of this glorious right.
"When they have finished their labors as jury
men we hope they will set out on electioneer
ing tours. Let them canvass the county as
candidates for the leading offices, seeking for
the sweet voices of voters after the most ap
proved fashion; let them encounter all the
incidents and accidents of an exoiting cam
paign, get the officos if they can, and then
we hope they will be candid enough to let
the world know how much of the grace of
womanhood is left, and how much they have
endured to find themselves bereft of self
respect. TnE people who crossed the ocean on the
steamer Smidt were beguiling their long and
tedious voyage with music and dancing at the
very time that two hemispheres were in daily
expectation of tidings that they had all gone
to the bottom of the sea. "What a relief would
it be if we had assurance that the passengers
of the City of Boston were now enjoying
themselves in like fashion in some far
Southern haven, while the vessol underwent
repairs! The safe arrival of the Smidt gives
rs a reasonable hope that the City of Boston
will yet make land, without any more serious
cause for delay than in the case of the other
long-missing Rteamer.
QUI I' Alt V.
Don Fnrliiue de llonrbon.
A cablo telegram from Madrid gives tbe par
ticulars of a murderous encouutor betweeu the
Due do Montpensier and Don Enrique de Bour
bon, which transpired on Saturduy morning
seven miles from the walls of the Spanish capi
tal. The soconds of Montpensier were General
Cordova and Alaraiuor, and those of Don
Enrique two Republican deputies in the Cortes,
one of them beiug Scnor liubio. Lots wore
drawn for the first lire, Dou Enrique winning:
but it was not Until ho had missed his adversary
twice and Montpensier had also fired one shot
without effect,tbat, standing within three paces
of each other, the latter took deliberate aim at
Dou Eo rique, and shot him through the head.
Don Enrique Mario Ferdinand do Bourbon,
Due de Seville, was boru on the 17lh of April,
1823. He was the second son of Francisco de
Paulo, Duke of Cadiz, a maternal uncle of the
ex-Quccn Isabella II, and his elder brother is
Dou Francises d'Astsiz, the husband of the ex
Queen. His mother was the Infanta Lulsa Car-
lotta Maria Isabella, the daughter of Frauds I,
King of the Two Sicilies. On the 5th of May.
1847, ho was mairicd to Dona Helena de Cas
telvl y Shelley Fernandez do Cordova, at Rome.
The only public position of Importance held by
him was that of Vice-Admlral of the Spanish
fleet, which he attained in 1850, at the ago of
twenty-seven. His life has been a varied and
unfortunate one, his political career being ended
by a royal decree which deprived him of his
Tank as an Infante of Spain in March. 1867.
Previous to this, during part of the reign of
Isabella II, he was the most important person
in Spain, being regarded as much superior,
both intellectually and morally, to his brother.
Of late he had been living iu France, and it was
only a few months ago that he crossed the bor
der, with tho object, it is believed, of provoking
the very quarrel which terminated iu his tragic
death.
The leading events of his earlier career were
thus summed up by him in a letter addressed to
Regent Serrano on the 14th of January last:
My uniform reminds me that I owe mr entrance
Into the navy and my rank of officer of the Govern
ment to ine most eminent citizen or Spain the
man whose unstained clones ecliuse all tho mnt.n
of the moderns the Liberal whose consistency and
honor contrast so much with the administrative and
political Immoralities the country deplores and IiIh
tory records the modest man who, retired In an
bumble corner of his province, shines so greatly
uuove ine pnue uuu pomp ui mose umoiuous men
who were born of nobody, or in the sloughs or crimi
nal Intrigues ttiu illustrious veteran whose brow
wears that best of crowns, tho aurora popular, and
of whom, In spite of his years, It may be said no
envy can extinguish the light, or his national glorv,
for honor never grows old. In demanding fro in
your Hlghnekg and the Government tha restitution
of my rank, I record that I begau to serve under
the moral and patriotic regency of General
Kspartcro, Duke of Victoria, against whom X
did not conceit wlih the navy of 1S43, the
source of all the calumnies which have ailllcted the
country up to the rebellion oi September, and wltti
out which lamentable event Isabella II would have
received a proper education la good dispositions,
aud not have adopted the system of the cruel and
Immoral men of the reaction, nor of those who
brought their knowledge to serve the passions, the
vices, the necessities, and tho caprices of the poliiti
clans, with the funds of the nation. I belong to the
time of Espartero. and In It 1 learned to be a good
citizen and a loyal otllcer. For not putting myself
against him among the troops under O'Douticii and
the other generals In 1856, 1 received a fresh banish
ment, andf nevertheless many of those who then
combated the people in the peison of t!ie Duko
had to return revolutionaries. These contests have
cost blood much ana precious niooa uselessly shed,
I have never participated in them, and so can pre
sent myself before the country without a single
Stain oil 111 j cuuauieuue ui mjr uuiiuriu."
During the revolution ot 1808, which terml
nated in driving from tho throne and country his
cousin, he espoused, in a temperate way, the
cause of the ex-Queen, although, as he claimed
in the letter to the Regent just quoted from,
he had combated tho fatal policy of Isa
bella II, alleglrjg that "she had aa and time
enough to discern between tho good aud bad,
and to distinguish the useful and proper from
the wicked." In tho same epistle he complained
also of "the evil and ruin the reign of Isabella
II had produced In politics, and, in private life,
to tbe poor children of the Infante Don Fran
cisco and Dona Lulsa Carlotta," referring in
this connection to the husband of the ex-Queen
as well as to himself.
Professing Liberal pinions and accepting
candidly the results of the revolution, as soon
as tbey were inevitable, he espoused heartily
the cau8o of the anti- Montpensier party from
tho moment that the name of his assassin was
first brought forward as a candidate for tbe
vacant throne. In July, 18G9, be visited the ex
Queen in Paris, and gave the results of his in-
. i-. , , ,
I kiiiob mm nor in tun icuer aircaay reierreu
i to. lie declared to the Regent that he could not
i iu,iu Uc ci. u;u'iion, riiucc Aif.ua,, Mum
he described a a "poor and Innocent boy," rxnrt
averted ttnt, if ho came to the throne, ho would
bo neither his enemy nor his courtier, but would
retire from all politics and terminate his days In
a foreign land. Tho chief object of his visit to
tbe ex-Queen in July last appears to have been
to persuade her to abdicate in favor of her son,
but underneath this was a grand design to make
himself tho most Important personage la Spain
In case tbe country acquiesced In this settlement
of Its difficulties and accepted Prince Alfonso as
KlDg. This project was nothing less than tho
marriage of his daughter to tho cx-Quocu'a son,
in which case ho would naturally become the
controlling spirit of the Government, with the
possibility of being clothed with tbe title and
authority of Regent during tho minority of
Prince Alfonso. On the 15th ot August, 180'J,
ho again visited Paris, and had an interview
with General Prim, at that time the head of tho
Spanish Cabinet. Several interviews with the
ex-Queen and Prim followed, and after the re
turn of the lattor to Madrid, Isabella, on the 3d
of October, as alleged by Don Enrique, con
sented to abdicate formally; but In half an hour
was prevailed upon by opposite counsel to re
voke her promise. Disheartened at this result,
Don Enrique assured the ex-Queen "that if
Marforl (her confessor and evil genius), his
agents, friends, and adulators, contlnuod to be all
in all In the palace, he would never return to her
in his life," and at once repaired to Madrid.
The refusal of Italy to assent to the candida
ture of the Duke of Genoa revived tho hopes
of Montpensier and stimulated tho antagonism
of Don Enrique. On tho 14th of Jauuary last,
as already stated, he addressed to the Recent tho
remarkable letter from which we have already
quoted, appealing to tho Government for the
restitution of bis dignities, and referring in tbe
following pointed manner to his enemy, tho Due
de Montpensier:
"If the Duko of Montpensier should carry out his
menace to lie King or Kegeut to the grave point or a
secret conspiracy, at the head or which may be
persons I must bo excused from naming, I will Join
these who combat him, and shed the rust drop or in
blood against such treason, lint if Espartero should
bo brought to Madrid upon the shoulders of this
nation, which does not wear the livery of Monpeu
sler, or forget that it Is sovereign. 1 will salute mm;
for I love what is noble aud honorable. When
suborned villains are ready to proclaim Montpensier
in v liberal aud Spanish heart will cry, 'Espartero I'
The (lovetnmont know that I am neither a disloyal
prince nor a bad Spaniard. If tho fact of my haviug
come into the world receiving the name of llouroon
from my truly liberal parents be judged sufficient to
cause respect to be paid to the sentence of Narvaez
against mo, and to round the political ltuiiilsltlou in
Spain npon the ashes of the religious lniiuMltiou, I
have nothing more to say, but to deplore such a sad
lutetpretatlon or the cultivated nineteenth century
an Interpretation only worthy of the barbarous
prleslhood of past ages, who lu such a Chrlstlauiike
manner applied to their uulortuiiste victims the
designation cf eursed races. 1 shall then accept tho
new sanbculto (penitential garment) aud luquUi
torlal caHtigulion, but I shall demaun equal jintice
upon the head of the pretender, the Duke of Mnrit
peus er, who as also a Ujurlion, and endowed with
Bn hypocrisy I do not possess, must be deprived f
Ills (ositlmi as Captuln-Geiieral in our national
armv, for, however much money he possesses, Spain
ivce"ives none of It, it not being she who sells herself
to him. Thus we shall all remain equally conformed
to equity, and then I swear never more to trouble
the Government or my country."
It was this bitter onslaught upon tbe preten
sions and intrigues of Montpensier that pro
voked the fatal encounter of last Saturday.
From every point of view the affair was most
unfortunate for troubled Spain, which loses in
Don Enrique a man who, as. General Prim has
said, had "always beeu an exception to the
Bourbons."
Count do niontnlembert.
By tho cable we have the announcement of
the death of one of tho most distinguished
Frenchmen of the day, Charles Forbes de Tyron,
Count de Montalenibcrt. This eminent author
and statesman was born on ths 29th of May,
1810, in London, where his grandfather and
father had residod since the breakiug out of the
French revolution. After the downfall of Na
poleon aud the restoration ef the Bourbon
dynasty, his father, who had served as an officer
in the English army, returned to Franco, was
created a peer by Louis XVIII, and died in 1830.
The son was educated at the University, and
when about nineteen years of age he published a
work on Sweden, which brought him into notice
as a litterateur. On the death of his father he
took his seat in the Chamber of Peers, where he
advocated ultramontane and legitimist
principles. Previous to this he had been an
associate with Lamennais and Lacordaire in tbe
management of L'Avenir, and the influences
which these distinguished men exerted on his
mind were perceptible during the whole of his
career. In connection with Lacordaire and De
Coux, he founded a free Catholic school In Paris
in lSiU, which was closed by the police, and the
directors arraigned before one of the inferior
couits. Montalembert, however, pleaded his
privileges as a peer, and had the case transferred
to the Court of Peers, before which he delivered
an eloquent speech in defense of himself and his
associates, which, however, did not prevent his
condemnation and sentence to pay a fine of 1000
francs. In 1SS0 he published a legendary "Life
of St. Elizabeth," one of the results of his close
study of tbe history and religious ideas of the
Middle Ages. In 1843 he offered in the Houso
of Peers a bill for the organization of secondary
schools, on the ground that the Church had a
right to perfect freedom lu matters of education,
and in 1843 ho published his "Manifesto Catho
llque'" on the occasion of tho debate on the re
lations of the Church and State, which caused
him to be recogni.ed as the leader of tho
Cuthollc party. Iu 1848 he caused a memorial
service to be held In the Cathedral of Notre
Dame in honor of Daniel O'Connell; and ou the
breaking out of the rebellion in the same year
he uunounced himself as a republican, and was
elected a member of the Constituent Assembly.
Here he sided with tho moderates and was bit
terly opposed by such men as Victor Hugo and
Louis Blanc, by whom he was denounced
as an accomplice of Louis Napoleon
ibis was not tho case, however; and
even after the coup d'etat he was determined
in his opposition to the arbitrary measures of
the adventurer, and having obtained a seat ia
the legislative body, he was for some time almost
alone In protesting against the despotic acts by
which tne empire was lnan juratea. Ija 1853 he
was elected a member of the French Academy,
and in 1854 he was prosecuted by the Govern
ment on account of the publication of a lottor to
M. Dupin in the Belgian journals. It was shown
that the publication was unauthorized, and Mon
talembert was acquitted. In 1850 he published
a work on "The Political Future of England,"
and in the same year appeared his pamphlet
entltlod "Plux IX and Lord Palmerston." In
October, 1858, an article from his pen on "The
Indian Debate" appeared in the Corre
spondant, which highly offended the Gov
ernment on account of the comparisons
that were made between the liberties
of England and Franco. For this he was prose
cuted and sentenced to a fine of 6000 francs
aud an imprisonment of six months. The
penalty, however was reduced by a higher
court aud aftowards entirely remitted by the
Emperor, ne was again prosecuted in 1859 for
u i tide ou ihu'pofie ot Uiu Hunmu? trim to-
pnrd to the Papal States, but ultimately tho
Government concluded not to push tho matter
to extremity, and the prosecution was aban
doned. n 18(4 Montalenbeit took string
grounds against tho encyclical letter of tho
Pope, and he propounded tho question, which
the Vatican authorities have hitherto been unable
to answer, "Is It possible for mo to remain in
loyal allegiance to my sovereign aud to remain
In loyal allegiance to my spiritual sovereign tbe
Pope?" Since this he has been the
acknowledged leader of the Liberal CnUiolic
party In France, and he has written much In the
journals to prove the impolley of the encyclical
letter and the (Ecumenical Council. In addition
to I ho works Mentioned above, he was the
author of a great number of others on religious,
po'Itical, and historical subjects, and ho has
contributed largely to tbe Revue des Deux
Mondes and the Encyclopedie Catholique. At tho
time of his death he was engaged In a work cu
titled "Les Moines d'Occldent depuls Salut
Benolt jueqti'a Saint Bernard," which was to
have been completed in six volumes, the two
first of which were Issued In Paris In 1800.
