Tbs Tribune Washington correspondent of Sunday
night says, the city is still agtatod with various
mora ~ the effect that Mr. Pryor had diselAimsd his
seconds action in rejecting Mr. POtteFs terms, and had
addressed Mr. Potter another note Offering to accept
bis proposition which was not done under the advice
Of Mr.. Pryors friends.
Another Is that Mr.. Pryor has signiaed his Wiling
ne1 to meet NJ. Potter N combat, with such arms
either might choose outside the fequeuted walks.
These rumors have as yet no foundat on inf fact,
whatever purpose may be entertained They doubtless
led to the arrest Of l Potter yesterday morning. Mr.
Pryor has not yet been held TO bail and does not
intend to put himself Immediately 10 the reach
of the authorities. He was in the city at the
KnkRood House on Friday night, in company
with Messrs. Miles and Keitt. Mr. Potter had
arranged fortnight ago to 60 home this week,
but viii remain in consequence Of these re-
ports.
His friends do not purpose to publish the
correspondence now, ss the main facts are lln-
derstOOd by the public they are, however, per-
fectly willing the other side shnnld
Col. Lsnders called on Mr.. keitt on Friday
night, TO u derstAnd whether his presence as a
second of Mr.. Potter, was any longer necessary
in connection with the affair, and was assured
that it was not. Many Of Mr.. Pger's personal
and political friends entertain the opinion that
be unnecessarily thrust their quarrel on Mr. Pots
ter, and having assumbed an attitude in the
House which was followed up by peremtOry
challenge, he was bound to accept any weapon.
Others sustain his source throughout.
