of IT. and the following is the Plckwickian
result
.r.l n TERMS OF SETTLEMENT.
From an examination of the correspond
ence between Hon. Horace Heffron and Hon,
G. @. Moody, submitted to u.s. and from
other sources of information, we understand
the grounds of controversy to be as follows:
In the course of debate, in the Indiana
Honse of Representatives, Mr.. Moody was
understood to reflect upon the memory of
the late Governor Willard, political and
warm personal friend of Mr.. Heffron, in
connection with the location of the county
seat OF Newton County; and that subse.
quently, in debate, he charged Mr.. Heffron,
by Implication, with being traitor to his
country; and that Mr.. Heffron, in reply,
used the language which furnishes the
ground of the pending affair.
A charge that Mr.. Moody was implicated
in certain fraudulent land peculations has
been withdrawn in the correspondence.
1t is our opinion that Mr.. Moody should
first declare that he did not mean to charge
the late Governor Willard with corruption,
and if SO understood, he entirely disclaims
it; and that the charge Of being a traitor,
which Mr.. Heffron conceiVes was applied to
him, by implication, was hastily spoken and
not seriously intended to convey the full
force of that term, and that he has no hesita-
tiOn in Withdrawing it. And then Mr.. Heff-
ron should withdraw the offensive language
complained Of THOS. L. JONES,
WM. G. TERRELL.
The terms of settlement contained in the
above proposition are agreed to by us.
