Ve do not held ourselves responsible

for tie opinions or statements of Corres pondents. Jo the fililor of the Daily Examiner:

siz,—I thought I had made it perfectly Lm ?

gear that bo insult was offered by Mr. Me- Ponald to Mir. Davies. But it seems there are some people of whom it may be said that by nothing short of a surgical opera-—} tion can the simplest idea be introduced into, what they are pleased to call, their minds. Si

The editor of the Patriot is a striking il- just: ation of this remirk,

Itisarule in parliamentary debate that} when any member disclaims intending any personal ch irge which his remarks seemed to imp'y, that that disclaimer is at once

accepted, and the reason of this common}

sense rule is very obvious, ;

A positive disclaimer has been given in the present case, and still the Patriot is not satisfied. Of course, I do not suppose that it ever will be satisfied ; but it raves as though it were really sincere.

The Ya/riots charge is this, that ‘‘],” Mr. Davies, * told Mr. McDonald ! would submit his offer to my colleagues, though | would not advise them to accept it, Heatoncs replied that he had not ex- pected anything better from me—that he understood | was making « large profes. siontt income out of the tenants on his estate, and that my interest lay in oppos- ing aspeedy settlement.”

No such language was used by Mr. Mex’ Donald. The fact is this. At the inter- view Mr. Davies said, .« [ ope you do not think [am actuated by any personal mo tive or f-eling against you in the matter, I know it has been-seid out of doors that LU am making large sums out of those suits; and, therefore, that I do not “care to settie.”’ Dir. McDonald made no answer. Mr. Davies again repeated the question in almost—if not quite— the same words, and | Mr. McDonald replied, « I have heard that statement made.’’ Mr. Davies warmly rex pudiated any such motives or feelings, and the subject at once dropped,

Mr. McDonald, in his ietter to me of the 5th iust.. which | bave before referred tu says: ,* You must be aware, if you can fully recall the interview, tbat 1 did not make the statement at the meeting which Mr. Davies attributes to me. But Mr. Davies,in his remarks, alluded to me hav~ ing heard therumor that he was making’ so Jargely out of the contest that he woule not be likely to do anything to stop it. {did not contradict that I bad heard the rimor, but its introduction into the cons versation was by Mr. Davies not by me.”’

This is exactly what took place, and nothing more than this. The words that ** he had expected nothing better from me” were not used at all. After some little time, knowing that the Executive Council was in session, | got up and remarked that we had made ali the progress we were likely to make, and that Mr. Davies* co!- leagues were probably waiting for him.

The two gentlemen then shook hands with one another, Mr. Davies remarking. ‘lam very glad indeed to have met’you.”

I did not think then, | do not now think, ,tiat Mr, Davies would have said that he wus ‘‘very glad indeed” to have met a per- von who took advantage of that. meeting to ofer him a *‘gross insult.”

And yet, if the Palriol’s story be true, Mr. Davies’ self-respect must be guaged by thal remark. Am I rot right in saying that the Palriol is a terrible friend?

The fuct is, the Palrioi has done its bes: (unintentionally, | admit) to cover Mr, Davies with ridicule, It has not been ge- Curate In one single statement (That per- hips it canno: be); but it might have some ercy On ils friends.

I tciterate that the statement made by the Palriol, that Mr. McDonald insulted Mr. Davies, is wholly destitute of founda- tiou, and that it is, to use the strong lan: guage of the casuists, ‘‘a lie with a circum. stunce.’ Yours, truly,

Epwarp J. Hopeson.

- ———_ — <> o——____ to the Fuitor of the Daily~ Fxaminer : Dear Sir,—One thing that this city badly needs is a Byeslaw regulating the erection and construction of new buildings ——a3 evidence: by the s/ructure now ‘going up’ (we won't say bein erected) on the corner of Queen and Richmond Sireets, For many years our Main street was po! luted by a hovel known as Fraser’s Drug Store, situate on one of the best and most central sites in the city, and when, on the Morning of the 30th ult., it was burned'to the ground, many and frequent expres- aious of thankfulness might be heard from ( the onlookers, while some were not slow to express the opinion that had the fire extended a little further and taken tie whole frontof the block facing Queen St., bn? harm would have been done, as we might well spire more handsome and impos ing edifices.
