Mills, of Fountain Valley, informs the Santa Ana Herald that, by letters from Walter Van Dyke, he learns that stipulations have been made for twenty days further time in which to file answers in the Las Bolsas land suit in the U. S. Circuit Court. As it now stands, answers must be filed on or before the 24th of August, and the case goes over till after the 4th Monday in November. The August session of the Horticultural Society was held in Los Angeles on Saturday, and, considering the very busy season of the year, a large membership was in attendance. A proposition to proceed at once with the erection of the Pavilion was very favorably received. Resolutions giving the Board of Directors power to act in the premises were unanimously adopted. A special meeting of the Board for that purpose was held on Monday. County School Superintendent McDonald has filed his report for the school year ending June 30, 1878. There are 14,389 children between the ages of five and seventeen years in Los Angeles county, divided as follows: Native born, native parents, 10,926; native born, one parent foreign, 939; native born, both parents foreign, 2,366; foreign born, 158. Of these 10,371 are white—5,231 boys, 5,140 girls; 42 negroes—23 boys, 19 girls; 12 Mongolians; of whom 5,991 have attended school at some time during the year. To be added to the above are 5,992 children under five years of age, bringing the grand total up to 20,380. ADVERTISE IN THE SEMI-WEEKLY GAZETTE. ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA: SATURDAY, AUGUST 17, 1878. A New Coal Discovery. The reports of the finding of hidden mineral wealth, coming so thick and fast, keep Anaheim in a state of ferment, and we question whether there is in the whole State of California a town with prospects as bright as those of Anaheim, or whose citizens are more hopeful of its future. The latest discovery was made on last Sunday on the ranch of Jonathan Watson. We have not yet been able to get many particulars, but there seems to be no doubt that coal in great quantities has been found. It seems that some time ago a party of strangers went to Mr. Watson and asked him to either sell or lease them a certain portion of his rancho. Mr. Watson judged from their manner that they were prospectors who had found some mineral deposit on his land, and he refused to make a trade. He, however, immediately commenced to explore his domains, with the result above noted. The location of the discovery is somewhere in the hills north of the Barham house, a distance of about seven or eight miles from Anaheim. The deposit opens out very like the Black Star did. The work of developing it will go on with dispatch, and in a few days we will be able to inform our readers of the probabilities and possibilities of this latest discovery. The corner stone of the new school house will be laid on next Monday, with ceremonies commensurate with the importance of the occasion. The ceremonies are intrusted to Anaheim Lodge of F. & A. M., and it is probable that they will be assisted by the Odd Felix. Quick Work. The last sensation occurred last Thursday, when about fifty men were present by invitation to see Jim Lawton beat his own time of two years ago, when his wife had bread baked in eight and a quarter minutes after the wheat was standing in the shed. At 6:10 o'clock the Buckeye reaper, drawn by Cy. Barnett's dun mules, stood at the corner of the growing wheat, machine in gear ready to seize an armful as it fell from the reaper, and rush with it to the thresher close by, which, under the direction of veteran drivers, was getting under way for business. At the mill, just sixteen rods away, Lawton stood at the window watching the moment when McCaw, on the swiftest horse in the county, should start from the thresher with the grain, while Mrs. Lawton and her niece, Miss Alice, had all the preparations made to make griddle cakes and biscuits in the shortest possible time. At the drop of the hat the dun mules sprang to the work, and in 1m. 15s. the threshed wheat, about a peck, was in the sack and on the horse, and the race commenced for the mill. There were two bridges to cross, and the excited spectators could only see a column of dust, hear a couple of taps on the plank bridges as the horses flew over them at lightning speed, and the wheat was delivered to Lawton in the mill. In 1m. 17s. the flour was delivered to Mrs. Lawton, and in 3m. 55s. from the starting of the reaper the first griddle cakes came from the hands of Miss Alice, was gobbled by a dozen eager hands and—that was the last of it. In 4m. 37s. from the starting of the reaper, according to the best double timer stop-watch in the country, a pan of biscuits. Washington Letter. REGULAR CORRESPONDENCE OF THE GASITTE. WASHINGTON, D. C., Aug. 4. We have lately experienced a slight outbreak of labor troubles here in Washington, but their prompt suppression is something of a guarantee for the future. The contractor in charge of a Government job—excavating for the new Bureau of Printing and Engraving building—has been paying laborers $1 per day, and had no difficulty in getting plenty of them at that price. But the labor league said they should not work for less than $1.50 per day, and anonymous notices were posted to the effect that any workmen taking the contractor’s price would be shot. But still the work went on. The attempt to carry out these threats was summarily dealt with by the police, two or three persons being wounded—one fatally. The subject principally aimed at by the desperate League is to force the Government to do its own work, and pay laborers good wages, instead of sub-letting it by contract. The theory of all these combinations is that every employer and every contractor is getting rich off the labor of his employees. Yet how fallacious this theory is. In this case the contractor, estimating upon the basis of cheap labor in these idle times, took the job at about one-third the price per yard that was formerly paid here for the same class of work, and cannot possibly come out with a profit beyond reasonable pay for his own time and services, to say nothing of the capital invested in carrying it through. The men he employs are glad enough to get $1 per day. The corner stone of the new school house will be laid on next Monday, with ceremonies commensurate with the importance of the occasion. The ceremonies are intrusted to Anaheim Lodge of F. & A. M., and it is probable that they will be assisted by the Odd Fellows' lodges, the latter having forwarded a petition for a dispensation to participate, which the Grand Master will doubtless grant. Our neighbors in the country should not fail to visit Anaheim on that day, as the pageant will be quite imposing and well worth witnessing. Later...Since the above was in type, Mr. Reiser has shown us a letter received from Mr. Denker, stating that the Masons of Los Angeles are coming in a body, and have secured an excursion train. The letter concludes, "We will make it lively for Anaheim." Come on, Macduff! The more there is of ye the better we will be pleased. The Anaheim Masons, as well as the citizens generally, will extend a warm welcome to their visitors. The programme of the day's exercises will be given on Saturday. Messrs. A. Guy Smith & Co. give notice that on and after the 15th inst. they will do business on a strictly cash basis, requiring that in every case the money for lumber or merchandise be paid before the same leaves their yards or mills. It is not unusual to see announcements of a similar import made in the columns of newspapers, but it is seldom that the manifesto is rigidly adhered to. In this instance, however, Messrs. Smith & Co. mean exactly what they say, and the rule applies indiscriminately to every person, no matter what his condition. As the gentlemen composing the firm are endowed with more than ordinary business tact and ability, it is to be presumed that the reasons for making so radical a change in the management of their business are sound and based upon true business principles. One thing is very evident: by this change builders pay from $2 to $5 less per thousand feet for their lumber. This fact alone shows that it is true economy to pay cash for everything. Among the new advertisements to-day will be found that of M. A. Mendelson & Co., proprietors of the widely-known Merchant Tailoring Emporium. Mr. Mendelson will shortly leave for San Francisco to purchase a large stock of everything in his line of business, and up to his departure his present superb stock will be sold at a great reduction over former rates. The Emporium has been so long established and is so favorably known that no assurances are required that patrons will receive every consideration from the proprietors, and be pleased with their purchases. For the past few days the Trustees of the Anaheim and Caion Water Companies commenced for the mill. There were two bridges to cross, and the excited spectators could only see a column of dust, hear a couple of taps on the plank bridges as the horses flew over them at lightning speed, and the wheat was delivered to Lawton in the mill. In 1m. 17s. the flour was delivered to Mrs. Lawton, and in 3m. 55s. from the starting of the reaper the first griddle cakes came from the hands of Miss Alice, was gobbled by a dozen eager hands and—that was the last of it. In 4m. 37s. from the starting of the reaper, according to the best double timer stop-watch in the country, a pan of biscuits was delivered to the hungry crowd by Mrs. Lawton, and that was the last of them. Then other pans of delicious biscuits were baked more at leisure, and "one-minute biscuit" formed a sandwich it was hard to beat, and then, as it would be impossible for a western gathering of any kind to be worthy name without a speech of some kind, Mr. Smiley proposed that General Shields make a speech, which he did in those incomparably graceful words of his that fill even so prosaic a proceeding as grinding wheat with the poetry of eloquence. Then Lawton, in his modest way, had to say something, and he made a little speech, which was heartily applauded, as well as that of General Shields, and the party separated.—Carrolton (Mo.) Democrat. California Wine at Paris. The following extracts are taken from a letter written by the Alta's correspondent at the Paris Exposition: Since I have been in Paris I have been already compelled to notice an eagerness on the part of the French experts to inquire concerning our Mission grape, but I am not yet sufficiently informed what causes so much interest in the grape, which our vintners are beginning to discard in wine-making. There is also much interest here felt in examining the wines made from the hybrids of the native grapes of States east of the Rocky Mountains. This latter interest is, however, easily accounted for, because those vines are considered almost proof against the phylloxera, and being propagated at Montpellier. I shall have on opportunity when the Wine Producers' Convention meets at Montpellier to learn more on this subject. I saw, last week, English gentlemen, apparently connected with the wine trade, eagerly inquiring in the Agricultural Division of the United States Section for American wines. There was not a drop of California wine to be offered to them, Hooper's little lot being safely under lock and key in a glass case. Dr. McMurtie, the representative of the Department of Agriculture, is at his post daily, and takes great pains to disseminate an impartial knowledge of our products. He has abundant samples of the finest wines of Missouri and other States east of the Rocky Mountains, to display and to offer to tasters. They are meeting with great favor. I listened to one party of English merchants while they were calculating the cost of putting some of the best Missouri wines on the English market, and they came wages, instead of sub-letting it by contract. The theory of all these combinations is that every employer and every contractor is getting rich off the labor of his employees. Yet how fallacious this theory is. In this case the contractor, estimating upon the basis of cheap labor in these idle times, took the job at about one-third the price per yard that was formerly paid here for the same class of work, and cannot possibly come out with a profit beyond reasonable pay for his own time and services; to say nothing of the capital investment in carrying it through. The men he employs are glad enough to get $1 per day and the dangerous principle of these Leagues that a man may not work for what he can get; that the employee may regulate the business of the employer and compel him to pay certain regulations of trades union, whether he is able to or not, and whether it suits him or not, is one that must be put down labor up to an unnatural price by strikes and violence will only coil upon the working class and make their condition worse than it would otherwise be. When money is plenty and business is brisk, and enterprise of all kinds are competing for labor, prices will be high. At present there are in Warting and in all our cities many more laborers than can find employment. Three-fourths of the able-bodied negroes who compose the mobs seen on our streets have no business here at best, and ought to be at work in the cotton, corn and tobacco fields where they are needed. They live during winter on what their women and children beg from door to door, or at the soup house scattered about the city, and when summer comes refuse to work when offered all their services are fairly worth. This will be the last letter from Washington for a few weeks. "A," somewhat our health, worn and weary with close application and hard work, is going to the mountains to recuperate. But he will not neglect his weekly readers, who surely will be paid a brief change from Washington goods and happenings to something new and fresh from the "Realm of the West," of whom most of us really know comparatively little—something of the majesty and grandeur of Rocky mountains and Colorado scenery. This is the time when all who do so seek relaxation and recreation—whose thousands flee from dog days and fever," and the many ills of the sea How much more they enjoy and gain pleasure, mental improvement and vigor body, who spend these weeks in the sun and admiration of nature's works than those who at some fashionable resort—the time in routine amusements and friendly entertainments—the same day after day.

Co., proprietors of the widely-known Merchant Tailoring Emporium. Mr. Mendelson will shortly leave for San Francisco to purchase a large stock of everything in his line of business, and up to his departure his present superb stock will be sold at a great reduction over former rates. The Emporium has been so long established and is so favorably known that no assurances are required that patrons will receive every consideration from the proprietors, and be pleased with their purchases. For the past few days the Trustees of the Anaheim and Cajon Water Companies have been holding conferences regarding the purchase by the Anaheim Company of an interest in the Cajon ditch. Up to last evening the terms of the proposed contract had not been agreed upon. We are authorized to state that if no agreement is made within the next few days, the Trustees of the Anaheim Water Company will at once take steps to have a ditch built for the exclusive use of said company. The preparations for the Fireman's Picnic are being made on a scale commensurate with the vastness of the expected attendance. There are several committees at work on the duties assigned them, and the citizens are contributing quite liberally. It is now considered certain that a large excursion train will run from Los Angeles to Anaheim on the day of the picnic. The visitors will meet with a warm reception and we predict that they will return to Los Angeles with a fixed determination to be more sociable in the future and visit us oftener. Public notice is directed to the card of Mr. O. Warling, Anaheim's favorite saddle and harness maker. Mr. Warling enjoys a fine business, which he deserves, being a conscientious, able business man and a first-class workman. He keeps a stock which would be creditable in a town six times the size of Anaheim. Argument was made on Saturday in the District Court by R. W. Scott, Esq. and Gen. V. E. Howard on behalf of the Anaheim Water Company, for a new trial. Judge McNealey took the case under advisement, and will render his decision in a few days. Rev. Father Rooney, a Catholic priest of San Francisco, lectured in that city on Wednesday last on the "Persecution of the Catholic Church." Referring to the public schools, he used the following language: Who are the most successful criminals? Is it the uneducated hod-carrier? No. It is your public school birds. Who perpetrates the most skillful murders? It is the men of cultivated minds and not the poor man. If you want to put a stop to crime cultivate the soul and heart of man. We are made to pay for the public schools, which we abhor. They impose upon us a tax to support their public schools and they only make loafers, murderers, and hoodlums. A well-known and highly esteemed gentleman, whom no one has heretofore even suspected of trifling with the Musees, deliberately composed the following epitaph on Kearney the other day when the thermometer was 96° in the shade, and when he finished the task he seemed to be as fresh as when he began it: Here lies the ex-sailor of ship or packet, Whose soul is in h-1, raising a rocket; The angels it heavens about for joy; For the Devil has got the Irish Say. Most of us really know comparatively—something of the majesty and grandeur of the Rocky mountains and of Colorado scenery.

I have experienced a slight outbursts here in Washington, suppression is something of the future. The contraction of Government job—excavation Bureau of Printing and Enhancement—has been paying laborers had no difficulty in getting that price. But the labor should not work for less than day, and anonymous notices the effect that any workmen contractor's price would be shot. Work went on. The attempt to threats was summarily dealt notice, two or three persons—one fatally, principally aimed at by the one is to force the Government work, and pay laborers good of sub-letting it by contract. All these combinations is that and every contractor is get the labor of his employees. Yet this theory is. In this case estimating upon the basis of these idle times, took the job third the price per yard that said here for the same class of not possibly come out with a pronable pay for his own time and nothing of the capital invest-ment through. The men he emenough to get $1 per day, SAN SUNNAVENTURA, August 13.—Quite a tempest in a teapot occurred in this town last night, giving rise to considerable excitement and some fun. Ever since the conclusion of the Lord trial, Jones, the State's evidence, from whom the guard who escorted him around for the past four weeks had been removed, has been observed to put himself in the way of the attorneys for the defense, as though anxious to open communication with them. He was, however, closely watched, and the Mores had paid his fare to Santa Barbara, intending to take him over there and give him employment pending the remaining trials. Last evening, however, after preliminary interviews with the attorneys, it was discovered that he was in the room of Mr. Allen, one of the attorneys for the defense, in Brown's hotel. Immediately there was a commotion, and the friends of the prosecution began to assemble. A watch was kept for some time, and one or two attempts were made to see what was going on inside, the last of which was repelled at the muzzle of a pistol. Finally, as the steamer was about to leave, about midnight, carrying Curlee on his way to San Quentin, Jones and three attorneys emerged from the room and went to the wharf, when after a few words Curlee and Jones shook hands heartily. During the time Jones was closeted with the lawyers, the County Judge was roused from his slumbers and verbally applied to to issue a writ of habeas corpus for Jones; but though he accommodatingly attended in chambers and waited an hour, no papers were presented justifying his interference, and in fact no proper papers at all were brought to his notice. Just what the defense secured from Jones they will not reveal, but it is certain Beef Tea. Professor Pepper in a lecture on typhoid fever, in the Philadelphia Medical Times, observes: "Indeed, as has been very thoroughly proven by Dr. Horace Hare in experiments made at the University laboratory, beef bottled in the good old-fashioned way in a bottle with water gives us a resulting solution which contains only one-fourth of one percent of nourishing material. The beef tea thus manufactured is chiefly a solution of the salts of meat, and is therefore not nutritive, and only valuable as a stimulant to digestion. But there is another way of making beef tea which gives better results. Take a quantity of tender meat, and, after cutting off the fat, chop it fine, put it in a bowl, pour a pint of water over it, and let it stand over night. It may possibly be well to keep the water just on a simmer; do not raise the temperature above 140 deg., however, or you will conguilate all the albumen, and so either leave it on the seive in straining, or introduce it into the stomach in the form of curds. After this simmering solution has been allowed to stand over night, pour it into a pipkin and heat if again gently, with enough salt to give it flavor, and, if necessary, add a drop or two of muriatic acid. Then pour it out into a hair jar. The resulting solution will contain all the nutriments possible, and is the most valuable kind of stimulant and laxative. A Much Married Man. Uneasy lies the head that wears the crown applies particularly, one might think, to the King of Siam, who has, or had, 600 commissioned wives, and 2400 by brevet, all of them living in one vast palace at Bankok. Most men would rather relinquish all power of sub-letting it by contract. All these combinations is that man and every contractor is get the labor of his employees. Yet this theory is. In this case estimating upon the basis of these idle times, took the job third the price per yard that laid here for the same class of not possibly come out with a profitable pay for his own time and nothing of the capital investment it through.

Largest laboring men must remember all employers, whatever their long been working at a loss, and eating up the saving of land and that it is only by the prosperity which the country enjoyed and the redistribution of the points where it can be profited that their condition can be bettered. Attempts to keep an innatural price by strikes and only recoil upon the working make their condition worse than otherwise be.

During the time Jones was closed with the lawyers, the County Judge was roused from his slumbers and verbally applied to to issue a writ of habeas corpus for Jones; but though he accommodatingly attended in chambers and waited an hour, no papers were presented justifying his interference, and in fact no proper papers at all were brought to his notice. Just what the defense secured from Jones they will not reveal, but it is certain that he has broken away from the prosecution and made his peace with the defense. One story, quite often repeated, is that he now swears that Austin Brown, another witness for the State, was the one who fired the last shot into More's head, and that N.H. Hickerson, another of the prosecution's witnesses, now dead, was present assisting in the murder. At 3 o'clock this morning Jones, accompanied by two of the counsel for the defense, left town in a wagon, presumably for the Sospe, though this is not certain. Jones's wife is there. It is also stated that Austin Brown is disgusted with himself, or something else, and will not again testify. The prosecution deny this, and also that Jones has made any statement differing from that told on the stand. LATER — It is ascertained, perhaps to a certainty, that Jones in future will positively refuse to testify, on the ground that if he adheres to his story he will render himself liable to prosecution for arson, while if testifies differently a suit for perjury will be brought against him. A Turkish slave ship was captured the other day by an English vessel, and the slaves it contained, consisting of seventy women and ten men, were liberated. The men volunteered into the Egyptian army, but it was more difficult to dispose of the women. Under the treaty concluded between the English Government and the Khedive the importation and exportation of slaves are forbidden; but the detention and sale of slaves in the country are permitted for about six years longer in Egypt, and eleven years in the Sudan. Several officers accordingly came to the Pasha of the district with offers to buy some of the female slaves, but the Pasha declared he would not part with them unless they got married. He then announced that any soldier or civilian wishing to marry one of the slaves would have to pay six thalers for her dowry, but that the women would be allowed to choose their husbands from among those who should present themselves for the purpose. A great number of men, chiefly soldiers, assembled on the day appointed for selection. The women were so shy that they "huddled together like a flock of sheep," and could not be induced to move. At last one of them, taking courage, advanced slowly to a black Egyptian sergeant, who was anything but young or handsome, and put her hand on his shoulder as a sign that he was the man she wished to marry. Her example was instantly followed by the other woman, who rushed forward to choose their husbands as if they feared to be too late. It was now the men's turn to say whether they accepted marriage. All were satisfied but five, again gently, with enough salt to give it flavor, and if necessary, add a drop or two of muriatic acid. Then pour it out into a hair jar. The resulting solution will contain all the nutriments possible, and is the most valuable kind of stimulant and laxative. A Much Married Man. Uneasy lies the head that wears the crown applies particularly, one might think, to the King of Siam, who has, or had, 600 commissioned wives, and 2400 by brevet, all of them living in one vast palace at Bankok. Most men would rather relinquish all power and royal authority than be quite so much married; but, we presume, the polygamous sovereign has got accustomed to his superabundant connubiality. He is said to be an amiable and enlightened Prince, and to be sufficiently advanced not to grieve over the recent death of the white elephant, a sacred beast among the Buddhists. He probably thinks his 3000 wives elephant enough for him, without concerning himself about the actual quadruped. He must be amiable, surely, to get on smoothly, as he is said to do, with 3000 women, all of whom are reputed to esteem and like him. We wonder how he manages. There must be some subtle secret in it which the Western world has never divined. Why doesn't he give his views on the woman question, so much discussed of late? His multifarious experience has empowered him to speak intelligently, and his opinions would have weight. It would be very interesting to know how one man could live comfortably with 3000 women, when so many men find is very hard to live comfortably with one woman. The Largest Nugget of Gold. Says the Alba: A correspondent requests us to state the value of the largest piece of gold found in California. In the days when large chispas were found, the value frequently outranked the weight by ounces, because of the curiosity to see the wonder, and the man who would break up a very large piece of native gold was considered almost a vandal. We have no means of knowing the price obtained for the largest piece of gold found in California, but will leave our correspondent to figure that out for himself from the weight announced in the following extract from Zell's Encyclopedia: In 1865 a nugget was found in California, weighing 201 ounces. In the Museum of Mining Engineers at St. Petersburg is a mass weighing 96 pounds Troy, from the valley of Taschku Targanka. The Blanch Barkley nugget, from Australia, weighed 145 pounds, and one from Ballarat, Australia, weighed 184 pounds 8 ounces, and yielded $41,882.62 in gold. The Rev. Dr. Schaff is visiting in Utah. He says that some of the unbelievers there regard Mormonism as steadily increasing and consolidating, while others see disintegration and growing infidelity. He thinks that most Mormons are living in monogamy, although they hold to the doctrine of polygamy.

Yards wide by 968 long contains one yards wide by 491 long contains one Dr. W. Farr, in a letter on the causes of death in England and Wales, printed with the Registrar-General's annual report, just issued, says that alcohol has undoubtedly a medicinal effect in many maladies; it stimulates the fainting heart after shocks of every kind. Port wine is a potent remedy in fevers; instead of raising, it reduces the burning heat of the blood and calms the delirium of the brain. Alcohol appears to arrest the action of zymotic diseases, as it prevents weak wines from fermenting. Like camphor, alcohol preserves animal matter; this is not now disputed. Dr. Farr invites the attention of those who have portrayed the bad effects of alcohol to consider whether it does not prevent the actions of various infections on the temperate. The neglect of this side of the question throws a doubt on many of their inferences. The deaths ascribed to zymotic diseases in 1876 were 96,660; to alcoholism, 1,120. Now, it is evident that any effect decreasing the prevalence of zymotic diseases, that kill their tens of thousands, will save the lives of thousands; the same sanitary improvements that diminish the prevalence of disease undoubtedly diminish intemperance and feverish thirst. The primary steps to put a stop to deaths from alcoholism will, as Dr. Farr observes, be to secure pure air and ample supplies of water in every town and every house; for bad air disorders the head, and water as well as wine and ale is required for drink by men as well as by women and children. The Rev. Dr. Schaff is visiting in Utah. He says that some of the unbelievers there regard Mormonism as steadily increasing and consolidating, while others see disintegration and growing infidelity. He thinks that most Mormons are living in monogamy, although they hold to the doctrine of polygamy. "The Mormona," he says, "dress and look like other people, and present the aspect of an industrious, temperate, and prosperous community. I have seen as healthy children here as anywhere else. The territory is well governed and free from debt, which is an exceptional recommendation. Even a bad religion in politics seems to be better than none." The following is Dr. Schaff's prophecy as to Mormonism: "It has been nursed into power by cruel persecution, and the fire of fanaticism and material self-interest may keep it up for a considerable time; but it can scarcely be expected that as-a religious and polygamous system it will be able to resist much longer the pressure of the surrounding civilization and churches." The late Wm. Cullen Bryant once received a challenge to fight a duel. His reply having been incorrectly reported in the recent notices of his death, his son-in-law, Parke Godwin, publishes the facts as follows: Mr. Bryant was challenged by a Dr. Holland, now deceased, on account of some offensive words that had appeared in the Ewing Post; but remembering that Dr. Holland had been previously challenged by Wm. Legget, without taking any notice of the challenge, he replied to this effect: "My Dear Sir: I am not familiar with the code of the duellist, but I believe that, according to its provisions, no one has a right to send a challenge to fight a duel so long as an unanswered challenge hangs over his head." Then the matter was dropped.
