_ ':'■■ TQ^THB EDITOR. . Slß^-T~he letter in yours of ihe 30th inst., over tho signature 'Patience' would have been passed unnoticed by me but for the fact that the late secretary is singled out fur abuse, which is of that nature that deserves \ refutation • . . In the first placo I deem it superfluous to repudiate the authorship of wtmt Mr P. evidently, to suit his own purpose, would fain father upon me. So far as lam aware, I and my late colleagues are on. the most friendly term?, and toy successor will bear me out if necessary in the statement that our past friendly relations have not been in any way estranged since he " donned the robes of "office." In passing I would like to state tuat no jit|e,mpt was made by yours truly to extract fLrufitJicv LliO out of the Company. I k nerely informed the directors that I could ■ not sacrifice the time that the position neces.atated, at a salary, that i had always cont i idered;'inadeq.uate, and suggested that if the directors could not meet me, they should invite applications. -The salary I wished was agreed to, but vvith ; a stipulation which 1 chose to decline. Tne few whom this trivial matter interests can hardly fail to observe I* that "Patience" is profuse in matto©3. "The pot calling the kettle black " is one he may take home, for while in language withering and condemnatory ho accuoes his opponent of contemptible practices, he appears rather a proficient in the arc himself. If « Patience '" and •A . B.T. intend to continue the conflict by all means let them do go, but let them be good enough to hansfer their affections in another direction. In future I decline to tr.ke notice of any Correspondent unless he is manly enough and . h.iß the courage of his opinions to attach his hona fide signature insteai of heaping abuse under the protection of a norn c^e pl%nie.—l Am, etc;, : -, I.
