THE SETTLEMENT OF THE DIFFICULTIES BE-
TWEEN MESSRS MORTON AND PORTERFIELD.
Mr.. Il. T. Daniel has published Il card in the
Richmond Dispatch correcting inaccuracies in
the published accounts OF the recent meeting
in this city OF w. Chase Morton and Charles
Portertield, of Virginia, as it was alleged, for
hostile purposes. Mr.. Daniel says: "In conse-
quence OF the difficulty referred to, and in re-
sponse to an invitation from Mr.. Porterfied a
friend OF each of the gentlemen met in WASH
ington for its settlement The invitation and
passed between them on the subject. There
lore, Mr. Z. b. Butchers bloody cartel is all
news to me, nor have l known him in the mat
ter at all. l was, indeed, introduced to him
casually after the whole matter had been set
tied, just before leaving the city. Being called
there by Mr.. Portertield, OF course all such
arrangements, if required, must have been OF
right dictated by me alone; but they were not
| required" MIR. Daniel says he was not arrested,
was detained just long enough for Judge Smell
to bail him for his appearance next morning,
when ali parties concerned were discharged un-
cOnuitlOnaily, which left them at perfect liberty
to select any other locality iOr the settlement OF
the controversy In amy manner they pleased.
Referring to the amcable settlement finally
reached, Mr.. Daniel remarks that "it Is safe To
say that such would have been the case with
out the intervention of police or judge"
