The Heead Of this day, and respecting It's conduct
from the beginning in reference to Sir II Buwer's
speech at the Astor House Why am compelled TO
ask portion Of your space you will understand from
the sequel
With the Ambassadors speech, appeared In The
Herad an editorial decrying and condemning II In
tone of tudgnati0nr far more violent than the pro-
ceedlngs Of the meeting at Tie shakspere. This was
phase No. l. -
represented and unsupported II. Phase No. 2.
The Sun on What authority know not, corrected
the misrcport pointing out rs meanness and malice.
and there was neither reply nor explanation from
The Hyaid second meeting took place, there being
(Ostensby al lcas no reporter rom Inc HeTatd pre-
sent On the morrow II attacked the meeting and me-
moral IN language the most yindctiye pledglng its
influence 10 thwad their object, sanderng their pro-
rn0ters and lustfyIng SIR Hcnry's explanation, bus
concluding with hope that the Ambassador would
not leave until kicked out Of the country for bis
treacher0us Nlcaraguan diplomacy Phase NO s.
Immediately wrote "A note 10 The Herad, correct

distinction between the voluntary and the hreln6
slanderer Phase No. 5, and last.
Here LEI me observe FHsf In my note 70 The
Herad proved that the insult consisted, not IN say
ing whether PECULIARLY OF otherwise, after dinner or
before that the Ceits we're, now or formerly, hah
savage and half naked but m deliberately, and with
full reconciliation, asserting and writing, that the
Irsh Of this time and country and Of all time, and
everywhere are by and blood and nature, capa-
