DIDATE. Conveying a Challenge to Fowler, of Bris-' tol, Tenn, in 1870, THE DUELLO CORRESPONDENCE, Clarkson and Hughes “ Posted,” but No Battle. Another Nomination Expected by the Administration Party. Wasuinoton, Oct. 19, 1873, The following special correspondence to the HERALD has just been received at this Burean trom the borders of Tennessee :— BRIsToL, Tenn., Oct. 19, 1873. The present political campaign in Virginia is virtually ended, that is to say, as far as Colonel Robert W, Hughes, the radical candidate for Gov- ernor, is concerned, The announcement from thls point may seem very strange. It will be remem- bered that at the time of his nomination at Lyncn- burg an attempt was made by his conservative op- ponents to prove him disfranchised by the fact of his having fought @ duel in North Carolina with William Cameron, of the Petersburg Index, in which Cameron was wounded and came near losing his life. After con- siderable argument this question was dropped, as it appeared that the due! occurred before the aaop- tion of the constitution which specifically prohib- ited duelling. The fact of this agitation seemed to have squelched all mention of a subsequent affair of honor in which Colonel Hughes acted as a second for the friend who had filled a similar position for him in the Cameron duel. This fact was substantially known among the oppo- nents of Hughes early in the campaign, but for various reasons the conservatives of Virginia failed to make them public. Your correspondent left Washington for this point on Thursday night and arrived here yesterday morning to procure all the facts respecting Hughes’ ineligibility. The town of Bristol is partly in Virginia and partly in Tennessee, and has often been the scene of despe- Tate conflicts, MR. ELBERT FOWLER is @ young man of much prominence in Bristol, the editor of the Bristol News, anewspaper of spright- liness, and he is himself very bold in his deciara- tions. From the correspondence which is here- with sent, it can be readily seen how he aroused the ire of Colonel Clarkson, and how Oolonel Robert W. Hughes was involved as the conveyor of a challenge to fight duel. Colonel Clarkson is a man well known as a duellist, or rather as a man in favor of duelling as a mode for settling difficulties, and he has been engaged in several affairs of honor, most promi- nent among which may be mentioned the duel be- tween Colonel Hughes and Mr, Cameron, in which he acted as second. He has killed one man and chastised several others. On my arrival in Bristol I found Mr. Fowler absent, and upon inquiry learned of the publication of the fall correspondence bearing upon the subject by him. After some trouble 1 succeeded in obtaining a copy of the cor- respondence, which took place in 1870, The Bristol News occupies the office of an ordinary country newspaper, and when its proprietor could not {be found { searched the town for the “next best man,” who represents Mr. Fowler, and on making known the purpose of my visit to Bristol he won- dered that the loyal Virginians had not discovered Mr. Hughes’ weak point long ago. “It is true, then,” I asked, “that Colonel Hughes was really the bearer of & bona Jide challenge, which, under the Virginia State constitution, debars him from holding office in the event of his election as Governor?” The answer which the rural gentleman made, but who requested his name should not be men- tioned, as he had nothing whatever to do with the matter, was te this effect:— “I will give you access to the files of the Bristol News of July 22, 1870, which contains all the infor- mation you desire.” In the paper of the date mentioned I found the entire correspendence which was faithfully copied, and the wonder is that the administration has allowed itself to be so badly imposed upon as to permit an ineligible nominee to disafect the republican party in Virginia. The first point to be settled is was Colonel Hughes actually disfran- chised? THE STATE PROHIBITION. The following is the article of the constitution which affects the case in point:— SECTION 3—ARTICLE 3.—Elective Franchise and Qualifications Jor Ofice.—No person who, while a citizen of this States, has, since the adoption of this constitution, fought a duel with a deadly weapon, sent or accepted a challenge to fignt & duet with a deadly weapon, either within or beyond the boundaries of this State, or knowingly coa- veyed a challenge, or aided or assisted in any man- ner in fighting a duel, shall be allowed to vote or hold any office of honor, profit or trust under this constitution, Pursuant to this provision of the organic law tne General Assembly of tne State of Virginia, at its session of 1869-70, passed an act, which was ap- proved, providing as to the offence, in the words of the constitution, that any citizen of Virginia who, after the twenty-sixth day of January, 1870, com- mitted this offence, should bo liable to all the pains and penalties named by the constitution. filteenth day of July, 1870, after the constitution had been adopted and officially promulgated, the following article appeared in the Bristol News:— THE INSULT. Dr. Peter J. HALR: It will be seen trom the letter of General Jack- son, which ag ware elsewhere, that Dr. Peter J. fale, altas Dr, Peter 8. Hale, is simply a swindler, He has been about Bristol a great deal lately, and brought to us a letter of introduction from Colonel Thomas I, Flournoy, which, like those presented to others, was a forgery. He claims to be a nephew of General Jubal A. Early, and hails trom Frank- hn County. He 1s said by those who know him to be an accomplished scoundrel, and the matter is easily explained when we learn that he is @ rela- tive of Saltworks-whiskey-riug Clarkson. On the publication of this paragraph Colonel John N. Clarkson, who is the party alluded to at the end of the article, got grievously indignant. He is the uncle of Dr. Peter Y. Hale, and could not permit such an allusion to go unnoticed. Colonel Clark- son Was a colonel in the contederate army during the war, figured prominently in Western Virginia asa cavalry commander, and has always hed the reputation of being a high toned gentleman. His offended honor was aroused, Satisfaction must be had, and fo that end, under the code dueUo, he ad- dressed the following letter to Mr. Fowler, which is the beginning of a correspondence which, as al- ready stated, must end Colonel Hughes’ aspirations for Gubernatorial honors in “Old Virginny:’— THE “HONOR” CORRESPONDENCE.

The laws of my State, my Church and DD. God, and my respect — forcivilization, forbid me granting you the proposed meeting. Iwill pe fownd at my office om Main street daily, from ten o’ciock A. M. until five o'clock P. Respectiully, ELBERT FOWLER, ‘The correspondence given above was published over Mr. Fowler's signature in pamphiet form, in order te supply the demand which it called forth at the time Of- the diMcuity upom his refusal to fight Colonel Clark.on,. The latter notified him that he would post him at the Virginia House, and upon this point the followtig appears in the pamphlet already alluded to :— Two sams after I pubiished him as a seumndret, though e knew his code required him to post on Main street, and was #80 ad- vised by his second, Colonel R. W. Hi lified by a double-barrelied shot gun and a bottle of whiskey, and nedged by the hoop skirts of wo- men and children that were on the porch almost the entire day; flanked, guarded and sheltered by columns, pilasters of the porch which fronted his rivate room, this arch coward proceeded to pin ne child of his tancy, THE FIRE-FLY OF A DECEASED BRAIN, to the porch, which, though a public hotel, is private property. From the time he arrived until the time he departed he ventured not from his fortifications at the hotel. To have posted on Main street, as his code required, might have cost bim his lie and stained the flagstones with the Meanest blood in Virginia. He came fifteen miles to make me retract an article that Tretterate. He sought a meeting and kept bimself a quarter of a mile trom me, thougp notified where to find me. He demanded repaM@tion and was denied an apology. He avowed his intention of shooting me if found on the street, and was careful not to come on the streets. He asserted that he could not find me to get a shot, and fearing that he ‘was paralyzed, I walked a quarter of a mile, and placed myself in front of him at an easy pistol range, that he could have A FAIR CHANCE TO SHOOT, as hehad asserted ne would. I walked across the open ground between the head of Cumberland street and the Express office, unattended, and, lor aught he could see, unarmed, and Colonel R, W. Hughes called his attention to my presence. Fear- ing that he was near-sighted, | passed down the gravel walk leading to Thompson’s, and stood for five minates within less than forty measured paces. of him, and then advanced to within less than thirty paces. He cannot say that he did not see me, for the fleld was unobstructed, his second pointed me ont and his surgeon told him my busi- ness. While he stood nervous and excited, with his hand on his pistol, watching me.”” This much Mr, Fowler published in his paper, as above stated, over his own signature, and a go0d deal more, but not particularily bearing upon Colonel R. W. Hughes’ connection with the trans- action. Some subsequent correspondence took place, which proves that a hostile meeting was tn- tended, and that Colonel Hughes was the bearer of a challenge tending tothat end. Colonel Clarkson, through the columns of the Lynchburg Republican, gave the correspondence alluded to, and added the following to Mr. Fowler’s second note which he cailed “Number Four:"— In delivering Number Four Mr. Blackley said the friend whom Mr. Fowler desired to go upon the nae with him was expected in the next morning’s train. Mr. Fowler denied this, and a correspondence between his friend Mr. Blackley and Colonel Clark- son’s friend pro tem. ensued, proving that Mr. Fowler’s friend had not made such a remark. Mr. Walthall had been sent for to take the place of Colonel Hughes, and remained with Clarkson until Hughes could go to Abingdon and return, which makes his connection witha contemplated duel undisputed, Mr. Walthall declined to take Coionel Hughes’ place, but remained a quasi friend and witness. That Colonel Hughes conveyed the chal- lenge is not denied, and.the correspondence quoted proves it conclusively. The pamphiet of Mr. Fow- ler was very attainable twelve months ago, but it has of late disappeared almost entirely through some mysterious agency. THE QUESTION OF HUGHES’ DISFRANCHISEMENT admits of no doubt, and the republican party of Virginia are placed in rather an embarrassing position in regard to their standard bearer. The disability under which he rests is a constitutional one and cannot be removed by the Legislature, only bya majority vote of the “electors qualified for members of the General Assembly.” It is believed by those thoroughly informed that Colonel Hughes will withdraw from the contest, and the State Republican Executive Committee ‘will be compelled te NOMINATE SOME ONE IN HIS STEAD. The election comes off on the 4th of November, which will hardly allow the republicans time to change front suc- cessfully, The mysterious part of the -busi- ness is, why Colonel Hughes should have per- mitted his name to be used under such circum- stances. Clarkson and Hughes are intimate per- sonal friends, but it is generally understood Clark- son is politically opposed to him, although he has made no revelation tending to this exposure, I found that the subject of Hughes’ awkward posi- tion was freely discussea in Bristol, and many queries were made as to why the Virginia press had not taken hold of this matter long ago. In the southwestern part of Virginia I found Kemper’s strength was very great, and, regardiess of the constitutional objection to Hughes’ election, the people of this section were confident Kemper would be elected byalarger majority than even Walker had in 1869, WEATHER REPORT.
