EDITORIAL FRACUs.-Mr. Linton. of the
Peru commercial, and Mr.. Beebe, Of the
Herald, having carried on brisk newspa-
per war for tie last few weeks, finally let
their angry passions rise to such pitch one
day last week that they went at each other
Il la Iieenan and MOrissey, in the street The
truth is, Linton was getting the better of his
opponent in the pen and ink tilt, and as the
latter is a man Of twice the weight of the
former. he sought an engagement on the
more practical ground Of the ring. The
ring exercise, however, was very brief
Beebe felled his opponent at blow, who on
recovering his perpendicular showed that
here also he was cot without an advantage
over his assailant. Being ligh: and agile of
frame he took to his heels like a comet. the
other who is obese and tub form in structure,
found it useless to wadde in pursuit; and
thus the set-to came to an abrupt conclu
sion. The scene closes in justice Office,
where Mr. Beebe is fined g for assault and
battery, and the justice dismisses the bellIg-
eren.s with some good advice, which may
serv them hereafter as the appropriate text
for moral disquisitions on tho folly Of losing
sns's temper. &e.

SIR: To-day, in secret session OF the Sem
ate, you offered me an affront SO wanton,
unprsvoked, and unjustifiable that l am
obliged TO infer it must have been the i'm
pulse Of momentary passion, and not of de-
liberate premeditation. This note is writ
ten for the purpose Of afording you an op-
portuuty Of sayin; whether or not my con-
clusien is correct; and, further, of affording
you an opportunity Of retracting the eGen.
sive language which you thus gratuitously
and unwarrantably applied to me.

WASHINGTON, January %, 1s49.
SIR: Your note of yesterday was handed
me this morning. In reply, have merely
to say that you yesterday made charge
that the lstely appointed federal officers IN
Illinois were corrupt, dishonest men-or
words to that effect. Tou knew my son to
be one Of those officers, and you could not
expect me to hear such q charge without
prompt denial Of its truth. pronounced
it to pe, to your knowledge, untrue. You
bsequently SO modified it as to satisfy me
that you excepted my son from the general
charge, although you did not name him, and
made no further issue with you on that
subject. When, at a subsequent period Of
your remarks, you attributed to me state
ments which l had not made, l requested
that in quoting me you would do So truth
fully. These remarks were certainly not
deliberately premedita:ed," but they can
not be qualified correctly as the impulse
of momentary passion" The first was
prompted by determination to defend the
honor and character of my son, as dear to
me as nv own, against an attack so general
in its terms as necessarily to include him !;
and the second was the exercise of my right
to rectfy a misrepresentation Of my own re-
marks. Respectfully, &C.,
G. N. FIrcn.
Hon. S. A. DOUGLAS.
WASHINGTON, January %, 81 P. NJ.
SIR: Your note Of this date has just been
placed in my hands. ! admit, without hes
,tation, your right and duty to do justice to
the reputation Of yonr son. At the same
| time maintain my right, in the discharge
Of my duty as Senator, to comment freely
and fully on the character Of Executive ap-
pointmcnts, especially in my own State.
deny, however, that my general remarks in
relation to the list of Illinois appontees, con-
firmed by the Senate durin. my absence,
| could be fairly interpreted to embrace your
son. When you seemed SO to constrne
them, | promptly replied that what had
said of the Illinois appointments was true as
a general rule, but that there were exceP-
tons, among whom l recognized some Of
nv own friends. Abiding particularly to
your son, added that had nothing to say
in regard to the merits of his appointment,
| choosing to leave that question where
placed it by nay remarks to the Senate dur
ing the last session, in your presence, at the
time of his confirmation. You now admit
that you understand this explanation to ex-
empt your son from the application Of my
general remarks; and yet, you have failed
20 wnhora" the offensive language, but on
the contrary at subsequent stage Of the de-.
bate, when apologizing for breach Of sen.
atorial decorum, you expressly declared that
you had nothing to retract-thus appearing.
in my apprehension, to reaffirm the objsc.
tional words.
