| Cuthbert B. Jones, of Louisiana, late can
didate for the consulship at Calao, and
now in Washington, has written letter
which may lead to a duel Three days ago
| he sent to Congressman J. FLOYD King. OF
| Louisiana, now in Washington, letter,
which read in part as follows A wear or
more ago | came here and applied to be
appointed in the consular service. You
| gave me your indorsement; you went to
Secretary OF State Frelinghuysen and strong
| ly urged my appointment. When the ad-
ministration of Cleveland came to power l
| thought my chance OF appointment would
be good, as l had had five years experience
in the consular service. A tragedy, or a
series of tragedies, for which | was nowise
responsible, had determined me to exile
myself and live abroad until the lapse of
years had cooled my passion and healed
resentment. This | did at the sacrifice of
wealth and prosperity. ! applied TO YOU to
aid me with Secretary Bayard, and Won
promised to do SO. l had the Endorsement
OF Senators Gibson and Eustis and many
other influential men of Louisiana. You
said you too would aid me. Instead of do
ing SO, you began systematic and coward
| ly course OF lying against me. You lied to
the President, you lied to the Secretary of
State, you lied to the newspapers. Your
false and venal tongue assailed me. not
with open courage, but secretly, like an
assassin. Growing bolder, your vanity led
| you to your favorite mode OF intruding
| your filthy person upon the public in the
| shape of an interview, in which YOU not
| only proclaimed me murderer, but with
the instincts of jackal and the appetite of
| avulture, you assailed my mother and Mrs.
! Llddell, one living, old and heart-broken,
| the other dead for eighteen years, both of
whom were spotless in their lives and char
| acter5. When | met you at the Presidents s
some three weeks ago, your cowardly eye
dared not look into mine, and you evaded
| me, qualling from the punishment YOU
richly merit. You are warrior among
Quakers and Quaker among warriors, a
| fraud, shame, a standing disgrace to
the State that bore you and to the State
that you misrepresent, and therefore pub
| licly and deliberately pronounce you to be
a liar and q coward, poltroon and a
scoundrel. l have sent you one copy of
this by express, one by mail and one by
registered letter"
The Hulskamp Family Want to be Let
Alone.
New YORK. November 2Oth.-Theodore
Hulskamp, the father of Victoria Morosini's
husband. writes strong and sensible letter
to the hTtd, complaining of the treatment
his son receives from the local press, in
consequence of which he saws " NV son
has found difficulty in obtaining honest
employment. | myself am followed by a
division ofmy neighbors. If our names are
kept from public print, and ! am impressed
with the thought that our business is not
| yet common property, ! do not despair but
that we may be able to manage our own
household affairs" He complains that
simpering fellows annoy them with re-
| quests tor interviews which being respect
fully declined does not prevent them in
venting the most scandalous stories, which
respectable newspapers copy and adds /:
| Not alone of that fact have to complain.
but the reporters distort my few words in
| such a. fashion as would make it appear
! that knew not how to speak or utter the
| English language perfectly. Every one of
those reports about us have been mean lies,
and not worthy of notice, but there is a
| limit even 10 generous tolerance Is there
no immunity from this? Is there no pro
lection for peaceable citizens2"

bloodshed. Mrs. Raymond then started to

The Billiard Tournament.
CHICAGO, November 2Oth.-Slosson and
| Nignaux met again tonight in the balk-
line tournament, before large audience.
The game was one of especial consequence,
as, if Slosson won it, he captured big pile
of money, while, should Vignaux win.
there still would be Il chance to tie all
! round, if Schaefer beats Slosson tomorrow
night. The result of the contest is shown
by the following score:
Vignaux-9, ., 195, 81, 90, 0, ia, 50. Total.
600 Average IS; highest runs, 1876 ia.
sIosson-17. y, l, 0, ?, Z, 25. Total, 1876. Av-
eiage, 10 CT; highest run, n.
The game occupied one hour and fifty five
minutes. The feeling now is that Vignaux
has underplayed in practice, and that un-
questlonably he is the greatest billiard
player on earth.
