WASHINGTON, July 2l.-Treasurer Gill
4illan is receiving numerous responses to his
notification to the banks, issued several days
ago, that they could get silver if they wished
it. Up to 8 o'clock yesterday afternoon
they had received orders for S25O,00O worth
OF silver, which leads him to believe that
within two or three weeks the department
will be able to send its new silver dollars
all over the country. The question has been
raised whether gold and silver coin can't
be sent in the United States through the
mails. Under such an arrangement the gov
eminent would have to pay about one-sev-
enteenth what the expressage would be. The
question was discussed at a meeting yester-
day, but uot definitely settled. Some such
plan as this will be very likely adopted.

New York, July 21.-The most important
testimony in favor of Fitz John Porter was
that given yesterday by witness Smith, form
erly on Porter's staff 1t was upon the evil
dence of this witness chiefly, if not entirely,
that Porter was convicted OH the original
trial. At that time he testified that in an in
terview with Porter, he saw treason in Por-
ter's eye, and his description of Porter's
manner which alone went to the point of
giving a dishonorable motive for Porter's
act. Now he admits that when he thus

he did not mean that he believed him a
traitor, but he was himself laboring under
excitement, because Pope snubbed him HIM
self. He, Also on discrimination, admit
ted he was mistaken on the trial in suppos-
ing that Porter received Pope's order Of 4:3O
p. M. at 5 o'clock, and now substantially
confirmed the statement by Gen. Ruggles,
chief of Pope's staff, and several others, all
confirming Porter's claim that it did not
reach here until SO near dark that it could
not be obeyed. The same witness further

by declaring that he protested to Pop
himself against his pamphlet protesting t.

extract from Stonewall Jackson's report o
his operations on the 9th Of August. Wit
ne,s pointed out to Pope that his extrac
related to operations of the Both, which de
stroyed it as evidence against Porter. Th
extract was furnished by Gen. Schrever, c
McD,well's staff. Witness also fxe
Pope's responsibility for the disappearance
of four important dispatches from Porte
which the latter claims would establish b

PISTOLS FOR TWO.

Congressmen Hunton Feeling His Honor
Insul,ed, Challenges Columbus Alexan-
del, of Washington, to Mortal Combat
Cause of the Difficulty.
Especial Telegram to the Globe.
WASHINGTON, July Pit is hard to sur
mise what will become of the Hunton-Alex-
ander affair. Before Mr.. Hunton published
his card Mr.. Alexander seemed undetermined
whether to accept Mr.. Hunton's challenge or
not. Up to this time he had apparently
looked upon it with keen satisfaction, and
seemed to realize the situation as much as
anybody else. When asked if he would fight
with Mr.. Hunton, he replied, 81 Won
say yes,'' and then added, 'that it was
foolish for any man of Gen. Hunters age to
think of fighting. Since the publication of
Mr.. Hunters letter he has been more sober.
The epithets 80 lavishly used therein have
cut him to the quick. Referring to the
concluding paragraph he said: ''Ihat pro-
nounce as lie, and then reiterating his
former charge that Gen. Hunton urged legis-
lation in favor of the district ring, added,
'sand, by God, have the facts to prove it. .
Some surprise is expressed among Mr.. Alex
ander's friends hure at Mr.. Hunton's haste in
putting forth his last letter.
THE CHALLENGE
was only received day before yesterday. Be-
ing the challenged party. and having the
right to select the time, place and weapons
it is thought that Mr.. Alexander was entitled
to have time to make known his intentions
as to accepting the challenge. Some say
that it looks as if Mr.. Hunton was too hasty
in anticipating Mr.. Alexander's intentions
in sending him the letter he did. Besides
t rat it is said that the laws o. Virgins
are much less stringent than the laws a
Washington, and that Hunton could
witt. better grace come here to deliver biz
challenge, than defy Mr.. Alexander to GO
down to Alexandria to accept.
