The editor of the Peoples indicator. Mr..
j. H. C0sgrOve, having attacked Mr.. E. L.
PiersOn through the columns OF his paper,
the latter demanded q retraction or the
satisfaction usual among gentlemen. Mr..
Cosgrove refused to retract, saying that
and also refused to meet Mr.. Pierson, on
the ground that the latters standing
in the community debarred him from doing
SO. In card in the Natchitoches Repub-
hcdn, of the twenty.seventh, Mr.. Pierson
publishes the correspondence, and con-
cludes by saying: "He has no right to as
sumo that am not gentleman. My family
is better than his a. every one in this COM
munity knows; my personal character is as
business associations have been with gen.
tlemen recognized a. at the highest social
standing. His refusal to grant me the sat.
isfsction demand was, therefore o base
subterfuge, and publicly brand him as
contemplate coward, afraid to meet me
face to face, upon equal terms" And here
the matter rested AZ last accounts.
