WAS the bearer OF
ANOTHER NOTE,
couched as follows;

This note Pelham delivered to Senator Logan
in tie Senate Chamber On the afternoon vi its
date. Senator Logan here, according to Pei
ham, manifested some impatfence at receiving
notes from Dir. Lowe. and asked, "Why'i is it
that this man keeps writing to me? I desire to
have nothing to do with him." or words ex-
pressing such sentiment This second letter
WAS MORE EMPHATIC
than the former in that it demanded to know
whether the language was intended to be ap-
piled to Mr.. Love-
As the result of this conference Pei
ham could obtain nothing in writing
from Gen. Logan, nor any verbal message
which be desired to deliver or would
take to his friend or client. Meanwhile some of
loves friends, who had been advised of the
proceedings, insisted that Lowe should not have
written the first letter, aud that lis first coul-
munication should itself have been demand

said to have

and that Mr.. Lowe could scarcely expect to

it even doubtful whether Union General uu-
punished could even seem to charge him
with perpetrRting a villainous falsehood. Ac-
cordingly Lowe late yesterday afternoon sent
the following note; which evidently was
INTENDED FOR CHALLENGE,
but which Lowe's friends appear to think is SO
framed in language as to take it out of the
operations of the criminal statutes OF this Dis
trict:
John Il. Logan-Stn: On the 21st inst. you pub

As to the manner Of the reception Of this lat |
ter note or challenge, there are two versions:
Sen. Logan's friends say tLat, while he may !;
have suspected what the note contained, |
lie NEVER IN FACT RBAD IT,
but told Pelham that ne desired to have no
lurther communications from Lowe, and hand
