10 the Edtt1rs Of tile Star: Under the
head OF &" Local Intelligence in the Star of
last evening, find the following paragraph
An afotr in the Pension Office This
morning, at about half past ten, Mr. VIM. 0.
Slade, of Va, clerk in the Pension office, on
receiving letter from lady friend, who had
gone Ous to Texas in charge Of and under the
protection of MIR. A H. Evans, of Texas ano-
ther clerk in the same bureau, went into the
room OF the latter, and assaulted him with
great violence with a chair which he sna.ched
up"
This demands from me a correction The
letter referred to was not from the lady who
went to Texas under my charge but on the
contrary that lady, for whom entertain hiyh
respect, has written to her friends in this city
stnce her arrival in Texas, speaking of me in
the highest terms, and expressing her gratitude
for my uniform kindness and politeness to her
during the whole trip.
deeply regret the necessity which compels
me thus to refer to lady in the public print,
and would add, that whenever any charges
shall be preferred against NE, hold myself
fully prepared to meet them, and explain them
to the entire satisfaction of all parties con-
cerned- A. II. EVANS.
NorE.-The report in the Star simply gave
the general understanding in thebureau when
the affair occurred.-EH
