w IN November it is said, Mr.. Louhat
made some disparaging remarks about
a Iadv of high character, well known
IN tbs society of New York. none OF
x.hose relatives or particular acqualnt-
.ncas were at the moment present. Mr.
rTnrnbull. considering such alluslCns 10
anch a lady an offense not to her alone,
bnt to the club and the fair sex gener-
allv constituted himself the champion OF
+bs sex and called Loubat a blackguard.
The matter ran along until 1e"
DAYS ago. Right after the occurrence
Mr.. Loubat left for New YORK IN pur-
.uance, his friends said, OF a previously
formed plan, for California. Mmle
there il is said Mr.. Loubat found nm.
self pursued with highly colored ana
exaggerated reports OF the incident,
which. as he was informed, we're freely
circulated throughout New York to hls
datrimept and disrepute. After getting
through with the business which tooR
him to California, Mr.. Loubat returned
to this city and Immediately wrote
letter to Mr.. Turnbull denounclng hin
as slanderer and asserting that at
had maliciously and wilfully lied.
Some correspondence ensued cetweef
the two men, until tiually Mr.. Turn
hull issued a circular giving his version
of the fuss, and Immediately the trouo!'

A personal friend of both Mr.. Loubs
and MIR. Turnbull says that on May IL
the date of the circular, Mr.. Louba
sent a formal challenge to Mr.. Turl
bull asking him to appoint a place
meeting and that this note was dellvel
ed to Mr.. Turnbull by messenger DO
and returned unopened. After the r.
ceipt of Mr.. Turnbull's note OF May oti
Mr.. Loubat was determined on MOI
tile meeting.
In his letter of May 8, he very broa.
