Washington than the character of the proceeding
warrants.
The history of the case is briefly this: Mr. Lowe
in conversation with correspondent repeated an
old and long ng-ago-exploded story that Senator Lo-
gan in 1861 recruited troops for the Confederate
Army and afterward deserted them. General Lo-
gan, in very pointed letter published In The Re-
publican of this city, denounced this story as false
told how 1t first came In currency, and
used the expressions 4" false and slanderous"
Mr.. Lowe wrote several letters to General Logan
demanding an explanation whether the words
quoted were intended to be applied to him per-
sonaIly. These letters were not considered by
General Logan to merit reply, and he took no
notice of them. Finally q letter was sent asking
General Logan to make an appointment where
communication would reach him outside the Dis
trct. This is the letter which it Is said was In
tended as a challenge.
The correspondence has stopped at this point.
General Logan has made no reply, and has nothing
to say about the subject. Mr. loves friends evi-
IDENTIFY expect that the matter will be dropped where
1t is because to posi- General Logan as coward or
to make personal attack upon him for refusing 70
accept challenge, would subject MT Lowe 10 heaVy
penalties under the laws of the District
In publishing the correspondence, MI. Lowe says
that he does publish Senator Logan as one who
knows how to insult but not how to satisfy gen
tleman,' and he invokes upon General Logan :" the
judgment of the honorable men of the community"
