days rather acrimonious debate in the
senate between Messrs. Plumb, of Kansas,

rumors of possible meeting under the
CODE The story was to the effect that the

challenge in order to obtain satisfaction
for certain reflections made upon him in
the heat of debate by the senator from
Kansas. Mr.. Call is gentleman Of very
mild and placid manners, and he is usually
as serene as a summer sea, but his friends
declared that to maintain his honor he
would venture even farther toward per-
sonal conflict than did the peiligerant

an exhibition of placidity even as pleasing
as that displayed by the Floride sena-
tor. He was in most pacific mood, and
declared that he couldn't think of stand
ing up as a target for either bullets or
brick bats in matter of honor" as pre-
scribed by the code. Pc had been shot at
it was true, years ago. but that was in
cause involving the honor OF his country.
He was not expecting challenge These
disclaimers of hostility being mutual, il is
evident that peace will prevail, despite the
rumors that have been flying.
