Messrs. Whitehead and

Mr.. John Whitehead, who, on tho floor
of the House of Delegates "a few days

Pilot for editorials rellectng upon him,
is said to have received a. letter yesterday
from Mr.. Sapp, an editorial writer on
that paper, assuming all responsibility
for the publication.

y special from Norfolk, after telling of

Clr. Whitehead avoided discussing The
matter when he visited the Landmark
office, which he ha0 occasion to do. So
far as is known, he and Mr.. Sapp did
not happen to be In the vicinity of each
other during the evening and mutual
friends sought TO prevent any accidental
meeting. The publications in the after
noon newspapers of the alleged acrmo-
NOUS correspondence between the two
gentlemen led many to anticipate a col
lision between them, which, fortunately.
has not occurred. There is reason to fear,
however, that a ouel may be contem-
plated and hostile communications may
be passing between the two. Color is lent
this by reason Of the fact that Mr.
Whitehead has been at the rooms of the
Business Mems Association several hours
This is also a lounging place of Mr.. Sapp
but the latter was not there. As both are
known to be brave men. it is feared that
Mr. Sapp stayed away by tacit or ex-
pressed agreement. thus obviating the
chance of a meeting until such time
they might meet where they would be
free from interference. This would no.
