Full Description of the FninoiiH and Fatal Duel linker's Hcinnrlcaulo Funeral Orntlnii Over the Bonntor'n Ulor. A lit To For n Life. SAN FitANCiBCO , August 14 , [ Special Telegram to TUB BKK. ] There Is noth ing talked about on the coast to-day ex cept the killing of Judge Terry. When the nowe of the shooting reached San Francisco It caused the greatest oxcllo- tnout and nil the papers Issued huge special editions containing every detail of the blo6dy occurrence which could bo secured. Judge Terry was probably the bont-kno\Vn man In the state , but his tragic end called forth comparatively llttlo regret. Ho was unpopular both with the masses and with the classes , tout the few friends ho did have were warm ones. For the pnst- few years ho had boon before the public only as one of the principals In the Shuron-ntll case , and the record ho mndo in earlier day 8 had become almost n , reminiscence , Still thuro uro a few of the old settlers wlio remember the stormy career of the judge during the days of the vigilance committee and the period of the slavery agitation. An old MOor , who was present at the fatal mooting between Judge Terry and Senator Brodorick in 185' ) , to-day told mo the story of that bloody dual und the incidents preceding it. A bitter campaign had just boon waged in the state , with Senator Bred erick the leading llguro on the one side and Judge Terry as his principal opponent. The great issue was the slavery question. Brodorick , although a democrat , opposed the extension ol I * shivery , while Terry "was the loader ol what wna known as the chivalry branch of the democratic party. During the campaign personalities wore indulged in , but it was not until the close of the etrugglo that Judge Terry issued the fatal challenge. David C. Urodorlck , the victim ol Terry , was born in Washington , D. C. , and was first known in Now York as 11 good stonemason and a leader urnong the somewhat unruly firemen who made the city a turbulent place forty-five years ago. Gifted with certain rude force , ho won the affections and esteem of the volunteer firemen and roughs , who wore such a powerful element in Now York in the old days. The men whom ho controlled were rougher than ho , but among them ho wiu believed , feared and implicitly trusted. His personal courage And magnetism were marvelous and thcro was no storm sc violent that ho could not ride upon it no exigency so trying that ho could nol cope with it. Ho rose to bo chief engi neer in the days when that ofHco gave its incumbent absolute sway over a greal mass of willful and almost lawless men , Ho hud a natural turn for politics , and , fascinated by his bucccss while supported by the , suffrages of the firemen of Now York , ho.rui for congress in 1840 an < ] was defeated. Soon after this disap pointment the California gold fevot broke nut , and he sailed for the now El Dorado of the Pacific , where , in the wild struggle for place and power , he made himself felt. In wild , uneasy Cal ifornia was his congenial clement , Brodorick , warm , generous , bravo , bold and Indomitable , led manfully in that unique battle of life. Brodorick WUE elected senator in the first legislature , and his hand was often heavy on the lawless mOn who again and again at tempted to bring chaos into the state. In 1860 ho was elected to the United States sonata. His instincts wore all against slavery , and ho became the open fee of his colleague , William M , Gwinthen , the pro-slavorv senator frorr California. During the mysterious anil plotting days of Buchanan's administra tion Brodorick was the bold and fearless champion of freedom in the territo ries. Ho was the trusted friend and sup porter of Stephen A. Douglas , and when the so-callod Lccomption issue cnmo up in congress not even -Douglas himself was more scornful and omphatie in his denunciation of it than Brodor ick. The enormous patronage of the young state of California was given tc Gwln , who , during the late rebellion , received the dukedom of Sonera from Maxmlllan. was in favor ol Jefferson Davis , and was finally cap tured nnd immured In Fort Lafayette. Brodorick was to bo got rid of. It wiif said that a caucus of his political ono- mied was hold in San Francisco to decide who should challenge him to light n duel. David S. Torry. who was fixed upon to send the challenge , wns from Kentucky , and was an accomplished duelist , while Brodorick was only not n duelist , but not even a good shot with the pistol , nnd it is u matter of tradi tion that Terry was selected to give the obnoxious autl-Locomptlon senator hie quietus. "Tho code" held sway in Cal ifornia in thorn days. Brodorick was proud , sonsitiro and tmmeibtis of his manly dignity. Ho wont out to the Hold In the gray of the morning with the fixed consciousness that he wne going to his execution. Tboro ivoro eighty spectators present when the seconds hold their conference nnd the pistols were examined and loaded. A. half dollar was tossed up , nnd Judge Terry won the choice ol weapons. Mr. Hayes , the second ol Judge Terry , marked oil the ton paces and warned the spectatora to move back out of the line of flro. Brodorick wits the coolest man of his party , his seconds ends appearing nervous und ill at onso. Mr. Haakoll , his second , after partly untying tbo senator's cravat , stepped Iwclc and wrung his hands. Ho then removed the cravat. Tills Incident un manned Brodorick for a moment. Brodorick wore a long surtout and hud n boft woolen hat drawn down over his brow. Terry was similarly attired. The requirements ol the code wore strictly followed. Brodorick was searched closely for con cealed mall , but Mr. McKibbon. who waa to search Terry , only touched his waistcoat and bowed. Broderlclc had by this time lost some of his composure. Ho was nervous , and twitched at the fikirU of his surtout. Ho nud Terry had taken their positions. Terry stood erect and firm , apparently indifferent to everything out his thoughts. The plbtols wore cocked nnd they were de livered to the principals. The condi tions were slowly road and the Instruc tions us to the firing given. The mon hold the weapons muzzle downward. ' ' 'Gentlemen , nro you ready y" was iisKod. Brodorick replied uftor Torrv. saving ; "I urn rondy , " "Fire , ono - ' ' There was a report from Brodorlck'a Pistol , followed in u second by Terry's , For some reason Brodorlck'a pistol ex ploded before It had boon brought to a level. The bullet burled itself in the ground a third of the dUtanco snort. Had It gene all the way it would have ilruck Its mark , for it went in a per- shelly direct line , The report of Torry'a pistol hud hardly died nwny when Bred erick wns scon to start. Ho turned halt way round and grasped at the | Ur na though trying lo recover his balance. Ills head dropped and ho fell flat on his back , his pale face upturned to the sky. Dr. VonLoolin , his surgeon , was too ag itated to bo of service. The blood spurted from the senator's wound , nnd VonLoohn did not seem to know how to stop It. Mr. Brooks , n friend of Terry , finally stopped forward , and In the name of Judge Terry offered the ser vice * of his surgeon , Dr. Hammond. But it was of llttlo uso. The ball had entered the right breast and passed through the upper lobo of the loft lung. Davis , the owner of the ranch , who had been ti alient spectator of the dual , started to his feet as Dr. Hammond began cutting away the clothing from tlio wound , nnd shouted excitedly : "That is murder , by Godl" Ho moved toward Terry , but was restrained. It was fortunate that this remark had boon heard only by the Brodorick parly , for there were plenty of Irionds of Terry there nil armed to the tooth. Terry had not moved. His arms were folded with the muzzle of a pistol pro jecting behind him. Ho was creel ns over , with a look of Inquiry upon his face , as though ho expected a call fm * a second shot. Uls coolness nnd nurvo were remarkable even In that gather ing. As ho llrod ho was heard to say : "Ahl I struck him a llttlo too high.1' Assured that Brodcrick'a wound was fatal , ho started for his carriage nnd was followed by his friends. They drove rapidly to San Francibco , and from there Terry went to his ranch at Stockton whence ho quietly awaited ovonts. Ho was sviTcsted on September 23 by two detectives from Sun Francisco and wns put under $10,000 bonds , but the case finally wont by default. Terry was chief justice of thosupromo court of the state , but resigned that olllco to light Brodorick. Although ho escaped all punishment for Brodorick's assassination , ho was for some weeks in the hands of the Snn Francisco vigil ance committee for stabbing a man named Hopkins. When ho finally re gained his Utterly ho left the stuto fern time , and commanded n Texas regiment in the confederate army during the rebellion. Over the bier of JBroderick , oxpqsod in one of the open squares of San Fran cisco , Edward D. Baker , the friend of Lincoln nnd afterward senator and general , und who was killed In the battle of Ball's Bluff , delivered the fol lowing funeral oration , which Is printed for the first time : A soi.iitor lies dead in our midst. Ho is wrapped In a bloody shroud , and we , to whom his tolls and cares were civou , are about to boar him to tlio plnco appointed for all the living. It Is not lit that such a innn should pass to the tomb unheralded ; It Is not lit that such u Ufa should steal unnoticed to its close ; It is not tit that such a death should call forth no rebuke , or bo followed by no public lamentation. It is this conviction which Impels the gathering of tills assem blage Wo are hereof every station and pur suit , of ovcry creed and character , each In his capacity of citizen , to swell the mournful tribute which the majesty of tUo people offers to the unrcplyln ? dead. Ho lies to-day surrounded by little of funeral pomp. No banners droop over the blcr , no melancholy music floats upon the re luctant air. The hopes of high-hearted friends droop like fading flowers upon his breast anu the struggling sigh compels the tear in tbo oycs that seldom weep. Around him uio those who had unown him best and loved him longest ; who have shared the tri umph and endured the defeat. Near him are the greatest and noblest of the stntc , pos sessed by a grief at once earnest and sincere ; while buyouttho masses of the people whom ho loved , and for whom his Mo wus given , gather hlco a t undcr-cloud of swelling and indignant grief. In such a presrnco , fellow-citizens , let us linger for a moment at the portals of tno tomb , whoso shadowy arches vibrate to the public heart , to speak u low brief words of the man , of his life and hlsdcath. Up 10 the time of Ms arrival in California , his lifu had been passed amid events Incident to such u character. Fearless , self-reliant , open In his enmities , warm in his friendships , wedded lo his opinions , and marching directly to , his purpose through and over all opposition , his career vvas checkered with success and de feat ; but oven in defeat his energies were strengthened and his character developed. IMS BOYHOOD. When ho reached thcso shores his kesn ob servation taught htm at once that ho trod a broad Hold , nnd that a higher career was before fore him. Ho had no false pride ; sprung from n people and of u race whoso vocation was labor , bo tolled with his own hands , and sprang at a bound trom tbo workshop to the legislative hall. From that time there con gregated around him and against him the cle ment of success and defeat strong friend ships , bitter enmities , high praise , mulimmnt calumnies but ho trod with a free and proud stop that onward path which has led him to glory and the grave. Fellow citizens 1 the man whoso body lies before you was your senator. From the moment of his election his character has Dccn mallghcd , his motive * attacked , his courage impeached , his patriotism assailed. It has been a system tending to ono end. What was his crlnioi Review his history consider his public acts weigh his private character and , before the grave incloses forever , Judge between him and his enemies t As a man to be Judged in his private rela tions who \vas his superior ) It was his boast , andumid the general license of a now country , it was u proud one , that his most scrutinizing enemy could fix no single act of immorality upon him I Temperate , decorous , self-restrained , he paused through all the ex citement of California unstained , No man could charge him with a broken faith or violated lated trust ; of habits simple and Inexpensive , ho had no use for gain. Ho overreached no man's weakness In a bargain , and withheld from no man his Just dues. Never in the history of the stuto has there boon a citizen who has berne publlo relations moro stain less in all respects than ho. TUB CODE A DELUSION. One year ago to day I performed a duty Bueh as Inerforin to-day over the remains of Senator Fonjueon , who alcd as ISrodorlck died , tunulud In the meshes of the cede of honor. To-day there Is a moro eminent sacri fice. To-day I renew my protest ; to-day I uUer'yours. The cede of honor Is a delusion mid a simro ; It palters with the hope of a truacouruKO and binds Itattho feet of crafty and cruel skill. It surrounds its victim with the pomp und grace of the procession , but loaves him bleeding on the altar. It is a shield , blazoned with the name of chivalry to cover the malignity of murder. It substitutes cold and deliberate prepara tion for courteous and manly Impulse , and arms the ono to disarm tlio other , U may pre vent fraud between practiced duelists who should bo forever without its pulo , but it makes the uicro "trick of the weapon" superior to tlio noblest cause and truest courage. Its pretense of equality Is a lie It Is equal In all the forultls ] , unjust In all the substance the habitude of arms , the early training , the frontier llfo , the border war. the sectional custom , the llfo of leisure , all these are ad vantage ? which DO nogotiattyn can neutral ize , and "which no courSe can overcome. And now , us the shadow turns toward the cast and wo prepare to bear these poor re- lunlns to their | ajt resting place , let us not seek to repress the generous pride which prompts a recital of noble deed and manly Virtues. Ho rose unaided and ulono ; ho be gan , without family or fortune , in the face of litlllculties ; ho inherited poverty und ob scurity ; ho died a senator m coneress.haviug written tils name in the history of the great , struggle for the rights of the people against the despotism of organization and the cor ruption of power. UK T1IICD TO STAND FII11I. Ho leaves in the hearts of his friends the tondorest and proudest recollections. Ho was honest , faithful , earnest , sincere , generous and bravo ; ho felt In all the great crisis of his llfo that ho was a loader in the ranks ; that it wus his high duty to uphold tbo Inter ests of the masses ; that ho could nol falter. When he returned from the fatal field , wb.Uo the dark wing of the archangel of death was catting its shadow upon his brow.hls greatest unxloty was as to the performance of his duty. Ho felt that all tils strength and all his llfo belonged to the causa to which be had devoted them. "Bakor , " said ho and to mo they were his lost words "Baker , when I wus struck I tried to tand firm , but the blow blinded me. and I could not.

A Washington society lady who just returned from Europe 'tolls a new story on Snra Bornlmrdt which ought to have the ofTcct of softening the language which some people use in dlscu&slng Sara's critics , says the Now York Even ing World. The Washington ludy wns n great au- mlror of the actress , arid while in Paris last spring look occasion to call on her. The Bornhardt sometimes amuses her self painting and modeling. She re ceived the Washington lady very kindly , and invited her oorncstly to call again. After a lapse of n few wocks another visit wns.mndo to the actress. She wns found very much absorbed In the half-finished figure of her little model 'vhich she hud been working nt. At the request of the Washington lady , who was anxious to see her at work , she continued working. After n while a frisky little spaniel , the pot of Sara , rushed into the room , wagging his tail and panting with delight. The little dog sprang upon the lap of the actress , but she was so much interested in her work that the spaniel did not re ceive the uxpected caressing. After the dog had interrupted her work by repeating this evidence of affection several times slio became very much Irritated , and expressed herself with energy in liighlv seasoned lan guage. But the little spaniel , not understand ing , kept on his gambols until Bern- hurdt , evidently exasperated , arose with a shriek and with a demoniacal oxpicssion on her face , lifted the poor little animal by the loose skin at the back of the neck , and raising the top from a Chonbcsehi stove , which stood In the room , thrust the yelping animal in on the hot coals ; than shuttingtho cover down she calmly resumed 'her work , ns if utterly unconscious of the heartrending cries of her pet , which grow fainter and fainter as ho slowly roasted to death. The Washington lady who witnessed this says : "You can imagine my position. The expression on Sarah's face was that of a wild beast hungry for blood. I have never soon any thing like it. But I did not dare to remonstrate or go to the little dog's rescue for fear that I might slmrc a like fate. But I left Sarah's presence asA rapidly us I could , and you may be sure that I did not return. " A Pointer Mr. W. fl.

Shortly before 11 o'clock last night , the first persons to leave the Casino tabernacle were convinced by the noise and tumult in Johnny Con&idino's sa loon that a lively "scrap" was in pro gress , says a Detroit -dispatch. Someone ono informed Patrolman Corey , the ollicor on the beat , and ho hurried to the Bcono. As ho approached Consa- dino's place ho saw men struggling in the doorway , but , catching sight of his shield and buttons , the beligoronts sus pended hostilities. Corey asked what the trouble wns about. For a reply he received a severe cursing from the fel low whom ho had addressed , followed by n vicious lunge at his faco. The officer dodged the blow and grappled with his assailant , throwing him to the ground. Ho then took a firm hold of his collar and started up street with him. Arriving at the corner of Gris- weld street and Michigan avenue the prisoner made further resistance. The officer attempted to handcuff him , but was immediately sur- rouuded by the "gang" which had rallied in numbers and followed on from the saloon. With curses they set on the officer intending to release the man under arrest. Evangelist II. Q. Wills , who had just como from the tabernacle , whore no had boon holding services , took in the situation ntnglunco , handed his prayer book to a friend , drew up his sleeves , and then jumped into the "im minent , deadly broach. " Ho went through the crowd of toughs like n whirlwind , throwing mon rightandleft until ho reached the officer's side. With fists Clinched , eyes blazing indig- nntion und face sot in determination , the evangelist lifted up his voice and said : "Tho man that dares interfere with this officer in the performance of his duty has got to moot me. Do you hear ? " Evidently everybody heard , for not n move more was made looking toward n rescue , While the officer took the prisoner to a patrol box and pulled for the "wagon. " The follow wus taken to the Woodbrldgo street station and locked up. "I want to shako hands with that man Wills , " said Patrolman Corey , after the trouble was all over , "for there is no doubt ho saved my life. That gang would have kicicod mo to death in order to rescue their friend. " Never Ulve Up.

Gouts'O\v Mucli lol > Enr 1'urTlilH llclognnt ' 111.Vliljttic Water falls and Kvbr-ytlilnlc Ihrawcil Ii $ " Old Snowrton on the Rlock , LONDON , August 2. [ Special to TUB Bute. ] To bo sold at public auction to the Inchest bidder , by Bousflold & Co. , at the Mart Tokonhouso Yard , Lon don , etc. Snowdon. The abovo. notice appeared in the 'London newspapers a short time sinco. Some American buyers or possible buyers - ors may perhaps want to know of what they would become owners under this salo. Snowdon is the Englishman's mountain ; not apart of a long range hko the Rockies , but a , single sturdy old peak , standing up by himself , to face the rfnows und mists of winter , and the hordes of tourists in the summer. The cockney will bo surprised indeed to lonrn by the hand-bills of the sale , that there is any ono who can nlnim any greater or moro particular right in the old giivnt than himself , tins not this boon our stumping ground , where , until our family costs uro lighter and our summer vacation longer , wo must entisly our Alpine climbing proclivities ? Are wo , the great British public , to huvo our way barred by boino mlhcniblo speculator , who will possibly fence up our venorub e friend , und either keep us out altogether or charge us a sordid entrance fee lor our right to roam over his summit ? No ; fortunately the cock ney is protected by the grout English law of prescription. Wo might , and possibly the auction eer will , oxputiato on the beauties of the surrounding country which is nur tured and wutchod over , as it wore , by this grand old veteran and his brothers , some of which uro hardly inferior to himself the crystal wutera of Lake Lanberris lying at his foot , the min iature waterfalls precipitating tiiein- eolvcs into little grottoes , shaded with ferns and carpeted with moss , the happy sparkling trout streams , danc ing over their rocky , uneven beds , the gray old woatlior-llutod , ivy-covered bridges , and snug little hamlets in the valleys , with their comfortable old- fashioned inns , standing with open doors to receive the weary traveler , or the jaded city clerk , , who for twelve long months has { rotted , away his life in u London cellar , j , Bnt this is not our pbject. Wo wish merely to introduce to our readers the old fellow who is Uio subject of this sale ; the contemporary of the Druids and every thing unciotjt , and rugged in the history of our island. The question arises , \yhat can a fol low do with it. A | mountain is not everybody's money. Barn am might , perhaps , take it away tin sections ; but then comes the question of "waste to the freehold ; ' ' for sis' Mr. Bonsfield gives us to understand , the freehold is not to bo sold ; and tl ori , too , there is the cockney's right'of ' 'easement , " if clambering along loosj'p , particles of rock ' can bo called an "ea'fijcmeiit. " No ; the purchasers' right of use and enjoyment is like the licenseof' _ he English liquor seller , "to bo drank on" the premises. " The prospectus states there are some houses on tbo mountain , which bring in a rental of 20U per annum , and the prospect , or rather probability of find ing copper or something ot that specu lative nature , if you will only dig far enough for it. The most lucrative part of "these desirable promises" is the little level plateau at the summit , whore a fellow willingly pays half a crown for a small bottle of bass , rath or than walk down to get it , and eggs and bacon in proportion. To supplement this profitable side of the question , the auctioneer after the manner of his kind , pictures the happy purchaser complacently looking over the preci pice into tnp lake below , and con templating with satisfaction the enjoy ment which his mountain will afford to all comers without charge or distinc tion. tion.Tho The sale commences , and after some minutes of doubt and hesitation , a par son thinks that itis th 1,000 tohim , probably the reverend gentlomau con siders that when ho is up on the top ho will bo nearer to heaven than ho can possibly bo at any other spot in the United Kingdom. But this will not buy it , und after a succession of lingering bids , and when the gentleman in the box has declared that ho will accept ad vances of 5 at a time , this pride of our land , thishoroof ourgeography primers , this houry son of ages is knocked down for the despicable sum of a little over 5,000 , the price of a modern dwelling house. The owner is changed , but the mountain still remains the same , old Snowdon. DuiHD.

' The Decline or Immigration. - At Castle Garden' there are many theories of the great decline In Euro pean immigration to 'this country dur ing the first half of the 'current year. It is said to bo owing tottho reduction of the surplus population of several countries of Europe by' the immigra tion of past years , to thfTdilflculties en countered by many iininl'grants in find ing employment norMl'to the now in- men s otTprod to ( Settlers by 8 < jvorai South American goyoniments , to the action of our consuls abroad in prevent ing undesirable poriio'ns from leaving for How York , and to the strict enforce ment here of the contract labor law. The falling off in the arrivals at Castle Garden during the first half of the year as compared with thosn in the corresponding period of last year was nearly 87 per cent , or from 239,825 to 173,078 ; and this fulling oil was from all the European countries from which im migrants come to the United States. .

Ono thing that never fails to interest nil who see it , when It ls found on the mountain heights of the Sierras , is the snow plant , known to botnnlstd as the Snrcodos sangulnoa , moaning blooded llcsh , sayn the American Garden. No flush or blood could bo so exquisitely beautiful ; imagine n rosy and snow- tinted , crowned hyacinth , from eight to twenty inches in holghtovory minia ture boll wound about by a rosy and frosted silver ribbon , all topped by a liupo head of asparagus in hoar frost and silver. The frosted papilla Is very marked on every sepal and bract. Though the whole translucent splko is Hushed with rose and carmlno , the petals are the deepest and most bril liantly colored pr.rta of the flowerwhich is five purled , and each open ono show ing slightly the stamens and pistils. There nnvo boon soon specimens bearing eighty perfect flowers and n pseudo-bulb twenty-two inches in cir cumference , brittle almost as spun glass , and although solid as n pincapplo when first dug up , dried away to the size of the stem. All attempts at cul tivation have thus far failed , the bulbs refusing to stand transplanting and the seeds to sprout. It was once said that they would not survive below the level of the summer snow line , but they have boun since seen almost covering the ground far bolow. The snow banks seem , however , to protect them from the winds swooping among the moun tains , and they make their early growth and development beneath the driven snow , and when the approach of summer leaves the surface of the ground opposed It is covered In a few days with the rod crowns of the snow plants. < An AbiV.ui < ; Cum.
