Tb following Is believed to be a correct
etateineiit or the I'ryor od l'otter aflair, op
to noon to-day.
Immediately after the occurrence In the
House, Mr. Tryor dispatched, through Mr.
Jliodman (Ark.) note to Mr. Totter, asking
Lira to leave the District to receive a writlcu
communication.
To ibis Mr. Totter replied, that as Mr.
Trror'a uoto contemplated avoidiog the aoti
duelling penullici iu the District, and that
as bi (Mr. Potter's) dinqiiilitiction wa con
tained in tbe Constitution of WUrouiiu, if
be entertained tbe proposal, therefore, he
could not leave the District. On wbicb Mr.
Chismnn, a substitute for Mr. llindman, who
was obliged to leave for Arkansas, banded
Mr. Totter a peremptory challenge from Mr.
l'ryor, who dated bis note from Virginia.
C'ol. Lander, who bad been designated by
Mr. Totter as his friend, banded, after a
lapse of twelve boors, a note to Mr, Cbismnn
incepting tbe challenge, and naming common
bowie knives as the weupoas ; tbe fwht to
take place in tbe open air, and tbe parties to
be accompanied by two friends, each armed
with Colt's revolvers.
Mr. Cbisnran protested against this form of
weapon as absurd, barbarous, vulgar, and
offered to coostruo tbe code in the most liberal
terms, provided other arms 'are suggested.
Mr. Toiler authorized OdI. Lander to de
cline any other terms, urging tbe bowie knife
bs tbe only weapon. Whereupon Col. Land
er offered to substitute himself for Mr.
Totter with other weapons. To both of
wbicb propositions Mr. Chisman, without
consulting Mr. Tryor, replied tbat tbe Bret,
as to tbe weapons, is vulgar and inadmissa
ble, arid that, while appreciating Col. Lan
der's zeal for bis friend, tbey have no cause of
quarrel with him and, consequently, no de
mand to make on bim.
Col. Lander said Mr. Totter considered the
whole affair barbarous and inhuman, but u he
must light, he would select weapons which would
place him on an equality.
Mr. Tryor is still in Virgoia, and bag not
yet beard of bis second's actiou in tbe matter.

TIIIRTV.BIXTII CONGRESSHI BtKloB.
Was'iiikotok. April 17.
Senate. Mr. Johnson (Tenn.), from tbe
Committee on Tublic Lands, reported back
tho Homestead bill as modiuea by the com
tuittee.
Mr. Johnson t'Ark.) explained the differ
onces in tbe present bill and that originally
presented. 1 be Bret cinerence was as to tbe
class of perBons provided for Tbe original
bill gives lands to tbe beads of families and
nil persons over twenty-one tears of ace,
This is only to tbe beads of families. The
second difference was the requirement of tbe
payment of twenty-live cents per acre. Tbe
original bill cave lands absolutely away
Twenty-five cents was tbe actual cost of tbe
luods to tbe Government. The amended bill
further required five years' residence, and
actual title to be given at the expiration of
that period, tbe price uxed being then paid.
Tbe llooso bill required a consecutive resi
dence or Dvo years, but tbe titles not to be
givien till two years afterwards. Further,
tbe Senate bill only included tbo lands open
to private entry, wbile the House bill, opens
all lands subject to pre-emption. The Senate
bill also required tbe constant settlement of
tbe land for fivo years, and prohibits any sale.
transfer, or abandonment under the penalty of
a rorieiture. luo jjouso bill allowed tbe
settler to sell it at tbe end of five years or to
abandon It for two years and then dispose of
it.
The House bill further provided that tbe
homestead is not liable for any debt contrac
ted prior to seven years' of occupancy. The
Sonate bill provided that tbe laud sbull not bo
sold for the debt of tbe settler until the Uui
ted State9 parts with the title. Tbo Senate
bill further requires an alien to file bis decla
ration of intention to become a citizeo before ,
be could avail himself of the benefits of tho
bill. Tbe effect of this was to restrict tbe
operation of tbe act to citizens of tbe United
States and tbe beads of families'.
Mr Johnson argued at some length in furor of
the new bill, pointing out its advantages over the
House bill. It gave the settler the right, at any
time during five year, to perfect his title by
paying the Government price. He read a
statement from the Commissioner at the Land
Oliice, showing that, under the donation acta
passed in regard to Oregon and Florida over
seventy per cent, of the settlers who availed
themselves of the provisions of the Acts, and
remained on the land had petitioned Congress to
allow them to pay the Government price, and
perfect their titles, before the expiration of the
period of four years ; at tbe end of which time
they might obtain the tittle withot paying any
thing. In the case of Florida, 2 11,360 acres
were seized upon under tho grant made by Con
gress. Of these, 138,400 acres were afterwards
abandoned, and forfeited to tbe Government. He
called attention to another provision in the
amended bill, not embraced in the 7ouse bill,
which compels the snle of surveyed pulilic lands
two years after the surveys are made. The last
provision of the amended bill, was, that landa in
any Stat remaining unsold after thirty-five year
should be ceded to ttis Slate in wbicb they lie.
Mr. Gwin (Cal.) offered an amendment, le
galiiing the occupancv-of the mineral lands in
California and Oregon by citizens of the United
b'tales or persons who have declared their inten
tion to become citizens.
Mr. Mason (Va.) wanted to know if the miners
on tbe Government lands had been troubled by
any one.
Mr. Gwin answered, No.
Mr. Mason thought it would be better to ad
here to tbe old Human maxim, "Let things at
rest remain at rest."
Mr. Gwin further avowed that tha object of bis
amendment was to drive out the Coolie labor
from the mines, and confine it to agriculture.

IIoracb Grrki.ey at Mii.ton. We at
tended tbe lecture of Mr. Greeley, at Miltoo,
on Thursday evening. In this lecture Mr.
Greeley gave bis impressions of bis overland
journey to California, and was listened to
with interest by a large audience. His views
of tbe practical working of Polygamy in
Utah, were interesting as well as amusing.
At the request of some of our citizens we
inquired of Mr. Greeley if he could lecture
here. lie said he could do so if be could
arrive in time, tbe same day from New York,
and be would tben also visit Danville and
Williamsport. We showed bim tbat tbis
could be readily accomplished by way of
Easton, Reading and Harrisburg, to Sunbury.
He said he would come during tbe moonlight

of streams, Ac, would come to bear bim.
In tbe evening, at tbe residence of Gov,
Pollock, he asked as our opinion as to tbe

other candidate oamed bad the remotest
chance of success. We asked his opinion in
regard to tbe Chicago nominee. He said he
was for Bates, but bad do idea who would be
the man. Twenty years ago, when we first
met Mr. Greeley at New York, be looked
like an overgrown, tow-beaded, beardless boy.

EF Thb Sanborn Cab. Senator Sumner

mittee, and tbe arrest of Mr. Sanborn. He
said one of Milton's judges in bell bad made
it a role, first to punish and tben to hear.
It would seem that the Senator from Virginia
had adopted this rale as a precedent. Mr.
Mason, smiling, said there was nothing in
.this extravagant language which he could
take as personal. He left it for the Senate
to deal with inch lack of docororu. Senators
looked at each other as if apprehensive of a
difficulty, but Mr. Sumner proceeded in a
feeling appeal for Mr. Sanborn, without fur
ther interruption. Tbe whole subject was
referred to the Judiciary Committee.

on the part of tho Republicans, who were

LONDON C-ORRESPONDENIR.
The "Benivia Bay Driven from lit Quarters
Sayers' Colors Ojiinions About the Fijhl
The Locality of the Fight.
London, March 20, 18G0.
In my last teller I mentioned some of the
evidences bf the interest foil in England in
relation to tbe coming "international fight"
between Hoenan and Sayers. The Interest
bas manifested itself in such a decided man
ner that it actually obliged Heenao to quit
his comfortable quarters at Salisbury where
be bad taken tbe old Mansion 'House as a
residence and to retire to some more quiet
and less knowo locality. Such was the curi
osity to see him that from all tbe country
about, and even from London, eighty miles
distant, crowds went every day to Salisbury,
and whenever he started out for a walk, fol
lowed bim often fpr miles. They gathered
about his house in tbe morning, anxious to
catch a glimpse of him, and every day appli
cations from all sorts of people were sent into
him, with requests for personal introductions ;
and in fact the annoyance finally became so
great tbat be was forced to pack up and
decamp to a more secluded spot, where be
hopes to be permitted to be let alone, and
allowed quietly to pursue bis laudable desire
to bring bis weight down and his muscles op,
with a view lo tbe two hundred pounds ster
ling and ma cnampiou s belt
Savers bas announced bis "colors" as ready I
for distribution among his adherents and de
volecs. J bey are made or silk, with tbe fol
lowing design : Tbe standard of England in
the centre, with tbe British lion rampant in
each corner, upon a cream coloied ground
with a crimson border. Tbe champion dispo
ses of bis colors at a guinea each ; bnt witb
tbe reservation that "should fortune fail to
crown him with the wreath of victory," the
money is to be returned.
The general feeling here, among men wbo
are interested in such matters, is of coarse in
favor of the "champion;" wbile not a few of
tbe professional pugilists, and tbeir friends,
weuld really like lo see bim defeated, os tbev
do not relish the idea of a man of bis size and
weight holding tbe belt against them. It is
thought tbat if Heenan whips Sayers, be will
do it in a short order, and will conquer from
bis superior size and weight. He is six feet
one and one-half inches high, and thirteen
tone twelve ponnds welcht, wbile his oppo
nent is but five feet eight inches high, and ten
stone ten pounds weight, and tbe greater
vigor which a man of twenty-five may be
upposed to bave over one or thirty-tour.
But if Sayers succeeds in standing op against
these advantages for a few rounds, it Is
thought that bis superior skill and long expe
rience, his perfect familiarity witb all tbe
dodges" of tbe ring, will, in a prolonged en
counter, tell in bis favor, and finally conquer.
Still, with two such bard bitters, a chance
blow may decide tbe light either way in a
very few minutes. There is no change in the
betting, tbe odds still continuing five to fonr
on tbe champion.
Ibo locality of the light is yet kept a pro
found secret, eve a from those who might be.
supposed to be thoroughly posted in tbe
ter, and it will not be generally known until
about two days before the ICth of April, wben
tbe information will be obtainable at tbe
sporting bouseB in London. As much se-
cresy as possible will bo observed, as tbero is
supposed to be a fixed determination to in
teriors witb tbe "arrangements, and it Ib
said tbat a committee of religious gentlemen
bas been formed in London witb this sole
object in view. Still there is little doubt
tbat all the attempts to prevent it will be
circumvented, and that the "international"
will come off and decide wbo is tbe "best
man" and most worthy to wear tbe champi
on's belt.
TUG CARSTA.Ha-SHAYV BREACH OF
PRO.
M1SK.
A St. Louis correspondent of the New
York Times says of tbe Carstang trial :
itotn plaintiu and deleodant come out bf
their three weeks trial or tbe moBt exciting
case which bos ever occutred in tbe ci'vil
conrts of this country, materially damaged in
purse and character. Tbe defendant bas
obtained tbe veidict, bat in order to show tbat
be bad never promised to marry tbe plaintiff,
bis C4unsel were obliged to place bim oefore
the jury and tne community in the most uo
enviable position. A millionaire, trembling
on tbe verge of three-score years and ten ; a
practical botanist and landscape gardener,
whose labors at Tower Qrove bave won him
wide renown ; a philanthropist, wbo bas mu
nificently endowed the city of St. Louis witb
grounds sufficient to create a worthy rival of
Jardan ties ptantes or 1 ans, ir tbe wise and
liberal plan ot tbe donor sbourd becarnod out
to its details, be neures in this trial as a
iberline of seventy, and, like M'Auley's
Marlborough, thrifty in bis very vice : for
several instances in this amour reveal more
meanness than they do passion.
Although tbe verdict is esteemed a jest
verdict, and, indeed the only verdict tbat
could bave been rendered on tbe evidence,
yet tbe regret is quite general in tbe comma-
oity tbat some udequate punishment could
not be inflicted upon tbe defendant. The
only witness wbo swore to tbe contract of
marriage was tbe sister or tbe plaintiff, and
her testimony was contradicted and impeached
in almost every conceivable way. and her
character and that of ber sistor were shown
to be decidedly bad. It would benntrue and
too barsb to say that Miss Kflie bad beeo
proved a public prostitute, but if there is any
dependence to be placed in human testimony
she is and bas been for tbe last twenty years
an intriguante and an adventurer of tbe
most dangerous type. Possessing a fine
form, pleasing appearance, fas6inating man
ners, superior intellect, and indomitable will
and energy, Kflie Carstang's career has been
very diflerent from tbat of tho mere lewd
beauty wbo lives by tbe sale of her liberal
favors.
Steam Tuus for Carrvino Coal. Mr.
Uogerson or New Castle upon Tvne, in a
recent letter published in a Southern journal
states that tbe rates of freight on Coal from
New Cusile .to London bas been reduced
from $ 50 to 90 cents per ton since 1857, by
tbe introdoctioo of Steam Vessels or Togs
for carrying Coal. In tbe same period the
consumption of Coal in London bas increased
from 3,000,000 to 4,000,000 tons, and tbe
prices diminished from $7 to 85 per ton.
