AFTER GEN. JOHNSON.

An "Ex.Captain in the Spanish
Army" publishes in La Lucha in Ha-
vana card addressed to Bradley t.
Johnson, General" which is very la
boriously insulting to that gentleman.
The writer says
sin Spain military career, by its
excellence, is considered most honor
able one. Since you do not know the
undersigned, such remark may be
thought impertinent by you, if those in
military service in the United States
feel the same way. But when we see
here in classic country of gentlemen,
general of the North American re-
public turned into slanderer I am
given cause to wonder whether there
is any one in the Yankee military fam
lily who, like you, is ignorant of the re-
spect due to the public in regulating
his acts.
"You mercilessly calumniate the
Spanish army in your published letters,
and also the authorities of the island
in the reports you send out. You for
get the things you do your own selves.
"The duty of military subordination
prevents many military men of my
country from furnishing their dignity
by contending with you and with 9TH
ers who disregard obligations to solve
any matter of honor, and who, like
you, carry lies on their pens and lack
moral valor to deserve the title of gen.
tleman, as Spaniards understand it.
"But l am at present without mill.
tary obligations and without scrupes
which prevent me from retorting all
these injuries upon the author, and of
doing him the honor of elevating him
to myself by offering him an opportun-
ity of redress on the field of honor,
where we could discuss these points
satisfactorily"
This fiery appeal to the arbitrament
of arms is signed by Manual Ampodia.
Gen. Johnson has accepted the chal.
lenge to fight duel, made to him by
Senior Manuel Ampodia, and the meet
ing will take place in all probability
tomorrow.

Mr.. Hobart Notified.

PATERSON, N. j., July 1.-THE com.
mittee appointed by the republican ma
tional convention to notify Mr.. Hobart
of his nomination for Vice President
performed that duty to-day. The mott.
fcation speech was delivered by MIR.
Charles W. Fairbanks. Mr.. Fairbanks
began by saying that the republican
national convention recently assembled
at St. Louis had commissioned the COM
mittee to formally notify Mr.. Hobart OF
his nomination for the Office of Vice
President of the United States and they
had met pursuant to the direction of the
convention to perform the agreeable
duty. Among other things Mr.. Fair
banks said: "The Office for which you
were nominated is of rare dignity, hon.
or and power. 1t has been graced by
the most eminent statesmen who have
contributed to the up-building of the
strength and glory of the republic. Be-
cause of your exalted personal charac-
ter and of your intelligent and patriotic
devotion to the enduring principles of a
protective tariff, which wisely discrimi-
mates in favor of American interests,
and to currency whose soundness and
integrity none can challenge, and be-
cause of your conspicuous fitness for the
exacting and important duties of the
high Office, the republican national con-
vention, with an unanimity and en-
thusiasm rarely witnessed, chose you
as our candidate for Vice President of
the United States"
Mr.. Hobart in his response said 81
beg to extend to you my grateful ac-
acknowledgements for the very kind and
fattering terms in which you convey
the formal announcement of my nomi-
nation for Vice President of the United
States by the republican national con-
vention at st. Louis. 1t is sufficient for
me to say at this time that, ooncurring
without reserve in all the declarations
of principle and policy embodied in the
st. Louis platform, I accept the nomi
nation rendered me, with full appre-
citation OF its responsibilities, and with
an honest purpose, in the event that
the people shall ratify the choice made
by the national convention, to discharge
any duties which may devolve upon
me with sole reference to the public
good" Mr.. Hobart then went into an
explanation of the monetary issue in
volved in the coming political struggle,
and the alleged beneficial results of q
protective tariff, at the conclusion Of
which he said he placed himself at the
service OF the republican party.

SOUTHERN MEMORIAL HALL.

SOUTHERN MEMORIAL HALL.
The special committee of four ap-
pointed by Gen. Jackson, of the board
of trustees, nineteen representatives Of
southern States, who were selected at
the Confederate Veterans reunion in
Richmond last week, conferred with
Charles Broadway Rouss in New York
yesterday relative to his proposition to
donate 100000 for the purpose of
erecting a suitable memorial to the
Confederate dead. The special com.
mittee comprised Gen. w. III. Jackson,
of Tennessee, chairman; Mr.. Tagus, of
South Carolina, secretary; Gen. George
G.. Johnson, of Alabama, and Gen.
Briggs, of kentucky.
MIR. Rouss's original proposition was
that he would denote the sum men,
toned, providing the memorial was
erected in Washington, and controlled
by committee which he himself
would designate. The committee ar
gued that it was the sentiment of those
interested that under no circumstances
could they allow the memorial to be
constructed at Washington or any place
north of Mason and Dixon's line.
When the committee met Mr.. Charles
B. Rouss by appointment each
made brief speech, and in elo-
quent language on behalf of the
veterans of the late Confederacy ex-
pressed sincere appreciation for his
great liberality, and offer of a donation
for the memorial, and conveyed to MIN
the universal heartfelt sentiments of the
Southern veterans.
They strenuously objected to the
memorial being constructed in Wash.
ington, whereUpon Mr.. Rouss generous
ly withdrew the conditions originally
made and left the selection ofa suitable
site, as well as the control of the me.
mortal committee, and agreed to donate
800, 900 in aid of the memorial. This
was agreeable to the special committee,
and they adjourned. The meeting was
held in Mr.. Rouss's Office. Gen. Jack
son, who, as temporary chairman ofthe
board of trustees, will call them to-
gether at Chattanooga, Tenn, August
II, by which time it is proposed to pro-
cure charter and incorporation, or or.
ganization, under the laws Of the State
Of Alabama.
Several places are in view, but the
members of the committee were nom
committal on that subject. The COM
mittee were entertained at dinner by
MIR. Rouss yesterday afternoon. The
committee left for home today.
