En- r6ponse a notre< article la Sc
maine derniere, voici,ce que nous
lisons dams lie Times de samedi ma

The TIMES incorrectly stated the posi-
ton of the editor of the Echo Of the West
when it said he had been at this office and
challenged the editor and afterwards Co
me to terms of amicable adjustment. The
editor of the ECuO states the truth when
he says he has .n'jamais" called at The
TIMES Office though he would be a very
welcome visitor provided he did not come
armed 1t was another editor of another
French raper WHO called, possibly q gro
yelling rival of the ECHO The converse
ton with him was as substantial y repor-
tedin THE TIMES There is no disposition
in this Office to pick a quarrel with the
Echo editor, especially since it has come
to the ears of the chef wielder of the 1--WE"
here. that the Echo man is the best fencer
in these parts. Carte and t;erce are very
little practised in this Office. The editor
gets his exercise by riding a horse which
has a record of 1856 in fair weather. He
also occasionally carries home meat for
dinner, but these homely accomplish
ments are of course no defense against a
man who is likely to make a motion at
you with the optic a co pd'oeil as it were,
and then with a keen, searching prod pin
you to wall. For these reasons. THE Tt
MES desires as much as possible to keep
the common peace with man.who has adj
van'ages which are not o bH gainsaid in
single combat. If necessary to that end
The TIMES will even withdraw the ex-l
preston about Germany being the most
puissant nation and substitute a remark
to the effect that at the last meeting bet
ween France and Germany it was the
general opinion that Germany was the
most puissant nation of the two. This
ought to satisfy a citizen Of Amer ca who
is not, under u constitution supposed to
care q continental about the comparative
pursuance of foreign powers.
