I. That, on presenting the chai'rngr Two
modes of terminating the affair were pro-
posed by Mr.. McCarty-6rst, 10 fight on a
barrel Of powder and 9ndly, to fight with
dirks both which were objected to, as not
according with established ussgrs. as being
without example, and as calculated TO es-
tablsh dangerous precedent.
9. That third mode was proposed in
the following written acceptance OF the
challenge which the seconds of gen Ma.
son were bound to acce,!e to. both from thu
positive Instructions IF their principal, and
from the laws which govern the settlement
of disputes in the field Of honor.
"Gentemen: | agree to meet and fight
your friend, General A. T. Mason, to-nor-
row evening, five O'Clock. al Montgomery
Court House. As am at liberty To select
the weapon with which AMI 20 hght, beg
leave to propose musket charged with
buckshot, and at the distance OF Ten feet.
j. M. MCCARTHY.
February 4, 1919"
8. That it was proposed by the friends
ofGen. Mason. and agreed to by the friends
of Mr. McCarty, to substitute single ball
ior buckshot.
4. That it was agreed by the friends OF
both parties to postpone the meeting until
l0c'clock, on Saturday morning land that,
on the ground, the distance measured ex-
ceeded - feet
1t now remains to state, that all reports
respecting the indecorous department OF Ell
ther party OH the ground, arc entirely false
that TIE unfortunate meeting took place
at the appointed time, and that the affair,
although fatally, was honorab!y termlna-
ted. No man ever exhibited more perfect
GOODNESS and self-possession than did gen.
Mason on this melancholy occasion. Ii is
due to the friends of Mr.. M'Csrty, who
are not aware Of this publication, to state
that their department throughout The whole
business was perfectly correct.
1t has been reported that gen. Mason
was struck by three balls. At the request
of his friends, the executors of gen Mason
consented to an examination of the body I;
and, after minute dissection, it was clear
ly ascertained that but ore ball had enter
ed the deceased.

sation for certain ships and cargoes seized

Berlin and Milan DEGREES. 1t was referred
to the Secretary of Stale.

ton, were saved in our house of Represen-
tatives by majority OF three votes only
