Prussia.
BERL. \, July 9.-The report that Baron
Weither, the Prussian Ambassador at Paris has
been recalled is not true. In official circles
here the situation is thought to be free from
danger. Bismark has neither assisted ror adj
vised Spain in the Hohenzollern matter and
Napoleon's attempt to hold him to any respon-
sbility is therefore regarded as mere pretext.

Senator Cole, of California, has introduc-
ed bill providing that any citizen. or any
association, ahall have the right to enter at
any land Office, any quantity of vacant coal
lands, not exceeding 1Go acres, upon payment
therefor not less than IS per acre. It also
provides that land containing iron shall
be c1assed as agricultural lands, and sold as
such. There mny be some special end to
be gained by this act, but, nevertheless, it
holds ont an inducement to some person to
purchase and pay for some portions of the
public land, and, if any be thus purchased
and paid for, it will be that much saved.
The United States have given away several
hundred millions of acres, and have
Just increased one grant Of 100000 Of
acres, by adding thereto privilege to take
an indefinite quantity in addition. Il lie
effect of Mr. Coles bill will be to sell any
portion of the land before it is giyen away,
BY eli means pass the bill At the rate we
are now going on, we shall soon have no
land either to sell OF give; and if the
policy of holding this land for actual set
tiers is to be abandoned, or practically de-
feated, by these grants, anything that can
induce any person to pay for few acres is
public advantage.

Commercial
A duel. which has been on the tapis or the
past week, in this city, YVES abruptly and inglo-
OF the gentlemen are also more or less noted.
Tho trouble began in the reportera' gallery Of
The Senate, about week ago, after the close
OF very impassioned speech by Senator Nor
tor, on the subject OF Teconstruction. The
principals in the affair we're Mr. L. o. wash
fngton, member Of the Worlds staff in this
city, and the American correspondent Of the
London Telegraph, Mr.. Ben. 7. Hutchins,
originally from Concord, but now resident Of
Atlanta, Geor6ia. During the war, he was
LIEUTENANT Colonel Of the Sixth Regular CAV
airy, while Washington was Assistant secro-
taIy Of State OF the Confederacy, under Ben
jaulin.
.nplaude3 it's sentiments, giving, at the same
time, .ery free expression Of bis opinions Of
lie southern rebels. Washington took violent
exceptions to the expressions; quarrel en-
sued, Hutchins taking the initiative BY writing
note, in pencil, to the effect that Washington
would hear from him very soon- Demands for
apologies and retractions followed, and finally
direct challenge was sent to Nj. Washington,
by Hutchins, dated at Alexandra. Delays and
efforts to amicably arrange the affair BY friende
followed, In which the most 1aughable diplo.
macy occurred. A meeting was inn1ly decided
upon at Silver Springs, near the residence o1
Frank T. Blair, ST. Mora delays followed, and
more friendly mediation by acquailtances.
The persons who have figured in the episode
are more or less prominent. Washington hal
had acting for him Mr, J: J. Bright, son Of e1:
Senator bright, Of lndiA1s, Colonel RichArt
Wintersmith, OF Kentucky, who WAS IN Officer
! in the 1ehela1my, snd General A. c. Jones, alst
Of the rebel army. Hutchins experienced grea
difficulty in obtaining seconds, owing to "a
rigorous laws here to opleyent due1ing, and M
