Mr. Nenra*»nn pnblished a letter in the Advtrti*er in I whieh he took exceptions to cer tain statements made by Mr. C. B. TVilson to Minister Wiilia. aod the Advertiser commeuted very severely on the letter. In fnct. the Advtrli*«r called Mr. Nen- j maun a liar, even if the very j word wasn’t used. Mr. Neumann who as a rule takes very little n<*tice 0f newspaj*er talk—and right he is--wrote a j*ersonal 1 note to Mr. Heurv Castle, the editor of the A dvtrt iae r demauding from his retraction and an ajv>logy forthonnwarranted newsp»j>er attack made against him. Mr. Castle in writing ask Mr. Nenmann for a specification of torms to whieh be objected— and he got t. Not being able to substautiate the innuendoes against Nenmaun, the Advertiser j>ersisted iu its insult- ; ing course against Lim and tO nse a “slang” exj*ression, “rubbed it ; into him this morning.” Mr. Neumanu met Mr. Castle this forenoon ou Merclmnt street and called fc<r an explanation. Not : receiving any he considered him I seif eutitled to nse an argumenium <ul hominem and with fist and eane, be tricd to knncked decency and j*liilosoj>!iy into the ( . eninium of Mr. Castle.
