Apprehended Duel between Grow ana
Branch.
~

WASHINGTON. Dee 81.
Ar. Branch was arr rested late last night on
warrant issued by Justice Dove, on the charge
OF being about to make arrangements . leave
the District Of Columbia. for the purpose of en-
gaging in hostile combat with Mr.. Grow, and
vas held to bail in the sum Of 5000 for his
appearance for further examination on Tues
day.
Ar. Grow had y yesterday engaged hsekmau
to call at place designated to take him and
his party at ; o'clock this morning. in the dir.
ection of Silver Springs The hickman did
not keep the secret. and hence the arrest.
The Herdlds Washington correspondence
says that Mr.. Branch rsfrained from sending .
message to Sir. Grow. until after the issue of
the Globe. evidently supposing that Mr. Grow
might suppress his language The report was
thought d,ubtful. There is . current report
that shortly sfter the Globe vas distributed in
the House TO day, Mr.. Grow received chall>
srgs and accepted it promptly. Tie parties
were noticed during the p. NJ, to bs indiffer-
snt to the proceedings Of the House, and we're
engaged in privsts conversation with friends,
and in writing letters. this strengthened the
rumor. The poiice we're on the alert tonight,
and efforts are making to arrest the psincipsls.
They have nos besa found ot their rooms. and
there 10 reason to believe that there IL some
truth in the report. II 10 further stated that
Aessrs Ksitt ard Pryor. are the frisnds Of Mr..
Brsnch. and Ms. Giddings. Of Texas. and Ar.
Fsnton, Of N. Y, are the friends Of Nr. Grew.
The Tsmss' correspondence says there WAS .
challenge passed to-day from Branch to Grow,
but the result 10 not yet known.
Mutual friends think the case Of easy adjust.
ment. Mr. Branch has but to say that he did
not design to impugu Mr. Grow's conduct as .
gentleman. but publicly - the leader Of .
great party. This done. Mr.. Grow would be
compelled to rstrsct his offensive language.
and the mstter would be adj usted. This will
probably be the turn which things will take.
but up to . late hour to night the difficulty re-
mains unadjusted.
Mr.. Grow was arrested this A. NJ. and gave
bail in the sum Of $4,000 to keep the peace
and not leave the district to night to fight a
duel

BUSINESS, GC.-The business of the
past week was undoubtedly the largest and
best our city has enjoyed for seine months. A
large amount Of grain-principslly wheat
found its way into market from all quarters,
giving our streets an unusually busy appear
snce, and this taken In connection with the
presence Of the holidays, has created degree
Of trade which must have been highly salts
factory to all business men. The cause of this
sutburst Of the wheat trade is owing to q
large demand to fill contracts ter grain with
parties in other places. This, however, matters
very little. go long as We actually enjoy the
benefits Of the trade.
We hear OF but few real estate speculations.
but We are inclined to believe we may look
for great impr vemens in this branch of bust
ness the coming spring. Those who have real
estate and are able to hold it, need have no
iears as to future results times will mend. and
An entire restoration Of confidence will be ex-
perieuced. Last summer was one of unusual
activity in public and private enterprises.-
Streets were improved and goodly number Of
buildings were erected. We may look for an
increase in this feature during the coming sea.
con and . steady and healthy prosecution Of
works Of improvement There will be less
money invested in the building Of stores. and
