 I asked Mr. Barrell. in w5at light was to consider him in this matter? He. made no reply. then said, Z" Are you thesrepresent- ative of Mir. Webb in this matter !" He said. "Mr. Webb has referred to me as his friend, and appear as his representative." | then MT. Webb's shoes F He said, ' Yrs. si..." To this,I replied. ",Then. sir, feel under ob- ligaiiOns to cowhide you,"-which did, MT. Barrell resisted, and we were separated by one or two gentlemen present, who re-
 m0nstrated that 1t would prejudice me to in- jurs MT. Barrell personally. MT. B.. called upon the gentlrmen present to witness the manner in which he had been treated; and l. requested them to note the reply which had given, ,tO MT. Webb's message. Mr. Barrell has the appearance of genileman, and learn that he has been considered as such.-- My treatment 10 him must satisfy him that had no desire to iDjure. him. My purpose was tO disgrace more fully the blackguard whom 1t was his misfortune to represent. s 8 BARRELL's srArEMEsr. .. Cadsby's Hotel, Feb. G. 1888.
 called at the office of the Telegraph, this morning. about half past 9 o'clock, and in- q1irsd Ut the cqnnting .rnona below, if Gen.

He read it hastily. and saying to me, ss" Please, sir, to walk into the next room with me. .' returned to the room where had first seen him, followed by. me. The two persons referred to were still there and supposed that Geo. Greens object in joining them. was tO discuss the subject Of Col. Wehb's application. After we had joined them, Gen. Green said to me. !" Do you mean. sir, to put yourself on \ footing with Mir. Webb lsa replied, II should not suppose, Gen. Green. that you would ask such question, after reading his nOie, or words to that effect.-- Gen. Green then advanced tO his desk, which was before him, and opening drawer, took from tt pocket pistol with his left hand. and T cOy-skio with his right. and observed to me. {" mn going tO cOw-skin you. sir." could hardly believe him in earnest, but said i0 the two persons who were standing on his right and leit, but little in the rear, ..
