Guilty amicably. Mr.. g. consented 10 grant
too hours, for the purpose Of rec wing an
apology from Mr.. Wilson. Mr.. Seward at
once drew up the paper and its terms being
satisfactory to Mr.. Gavin and his friends Mr.
s. hurried on to procure MT. WILSON'S sigma
ture The latter asked time to show it to some
other friends, and the enemies of Mr.. Gwin
succeeded in inducing Mr. Wilson to refuse his
signature Mr.. Seward regretted the result,
Int determined not 10 leave any effort untried
10 arrest a street fight. He sought Gen. Davis,
senator from Mississippi, and late Secretary Of
1 War. and begged hm To see Mr.. Gwin,- and
| net him to modify, if possible. his demand for
an apology Gen. Davis undertook the task,
but he first sought an interview with Mr.. Viii.

and we must have no more Gaming afiairs -
Your repntntion for bTaVeryis not involved;
