Referring to Mr.. McLean's note of this date
delivered to me by you, and to our suhse-
have this to say: Mr.. Halstead does not com.
plain of any thing said of him personally in
the columns of the Cincinnati Enquirer. He
that he is satisfied on that account. But
he does complain that newspaper
printed in, Cincinnati, and understood
lishod in his interest, has attacked him in q
manner so offensive as to require other no.
tice than that he has usually prescribed for
| tonly, gratuitously and falsely affect innO-
cent persons dependent upon him for pro-
| poets from Mclean absolute disayowal of his
| knowledge of, and his responsibility for.
| these publications, and his assurance that
| they shall not be repeated.

above interesting correspondence was tho
Evening Telegram a few days back. The fol.

with dirks, and thus settle their quarrel.
The public is sick of both of
them" August appeared an article
in which the following extract occurs I:
"You should thankfully have embraced tho
opportunity we gave you. What other decent
cuckold? None. Now the opportunity is not
totally lost. There yet is time. Meet Mclean,
man. like man. He has mt least thirty more
years of reasonable expectation OF life than
you have. The advantage is all with you.
| Youhave for years been regarded us a blust-
ering coward. Now, for the honor of the hui
man family and in the nnme OF the great dis
honor heaped upon you, screw your coul.
