THE DOUGLAS DIFFICULTY.
WAssIxsroS, Jan. s4-The correspondent Of
the y. Y. Times says the city to-day has been
full OF rumors of pending hostilities between
Douglas and Davis This IS erroneous There
is no ground for personal issue between these
parties Notes have passed, however, between
Douglas and Fitch, with view TO explanations
and Ietractions or hostile meeting, but the
whole matter is in the hands Of mutual friends,
and in = fair way Of amicable adjustment. The
first note was from Douglas TO Fitch, demand
ing retraction The second note Is from Fitch,
which reiterates Douglas then replies with
detziled letter, explaining and modifying his
language, and giving it a construction much less
, offensive than originally understood. Fitch
rejoins amicably, and his note viii probably
settle the affair. The correspondence makes no
allusiun whatever TO Fitch's declaration, that
Douglas had failed to prove the charge against
Cook, to which he had pledged his honor The
transaction IS looked upOn-by Douglas friends as
Indicative Of the fixed purpose Of the Admins
tratiOn men 10 force him TO take back seat, n
he comes into the Democratic organization at
all, and that they prefer to push him off alto
gether. II is stated that an early opportunity
will be taken, in open session, to make an issue
with Douglas in reference TO his statements
shout individual Illinois appointments, and to
present proofs Of their inaccuracy.
