WASHINGTON, April 26.-It Is absolutely
certain that blood will not flow on account OF the
dispute between Congressman Lowe OF Ala
bama and Senator Logan OF Illinois. The
Congressman posted the Senator this afternoon
In an evening newspaper. With great deli
cacy he said:
will not brand John A. Logan ns liar. for
he Ia Senator of the United States. will not
post him as n scoundrel and poltroon for that
would be in violation OF the local statutes. But
! do publish him as one who knows how to
Insult but not how to satisfy gentleman. and |
invoke upon him the judgment of the honorable
men OF the community"
Mr.. Lowe also published the letters which no
sent Mr.. Logan. and to which the Senator
vouchsafed no reply. Mr. Lowe sccms 10 think
that his conduct in the matter will afford per-
feet satisfaction to the Republicans in his dis
trict whose votes helped him to beat the regular
Democratic nominee. He said to-day: Il
have refraincd from conversing on tho subject
OF my difficulty with Gen. Logan. Judge
Charles Pelham. lawyer Of this city who WINS
n former member Of Congress from Alabama,
acts as my friend in this matter, and must re-
fer You to him. | have bcen told thnt 10y send
ing request to Gen. Logan to name some place
outside the District where n letter will reach
him ! have made myself liable to arrest. ]
am not familiar with the customs which prevail
in this neixhborhOod in such rases. The state
ment that Gen. Logan did not open the last note
| sent him Is untrue, He opened the note, read
1t through twice. and wns greatly excited ut the
contents. From what he has said do not an
ticipatc any reply to the note. and there Is only
one course lett Tor me 10 pursue" As Mr..
loves card was published subsequent to this

Gen. Logan is delighted with the turn affairs
have taken. Nothing could please him more
man tohave Teceiv"d a challenge from an un-
tanned Confederate colonel. He will make the
episode play an important part in n truly loyal
ceem,nanign AGAINST me south IN the campaign

Lowe should choose to cowhido tho senator,
himself
There is some talk tonight OF arresting Mr..
Lowe for sending n challenge to the Illinois
Senator; Among gentlemen Mr.. loves INVITA-.
ton tn Gen. Logan To name u placu outside OF
the District where n letter would reach him
would be considered n challenge. The law
against duelling is very severe in the District
OF Columbia. Ii WIS enacted especially TO pre-
vent belligcrcut congressman from shooting
