Now. sir, the ! liiofthis would-be damaging article has ■0 written it with malicious motives. 1 H!k is utterly ipnorant of the facts I efibecase, arjd bo public institutions maybe ;.-.■■ ijmd by office scribblers who send forth it their papers that which please their own Hew, without regard to the results of what I % write. The report brotigbt up to the RyConnc.il yesterday was in keeping with lUtwag for months known and clearly un- Jteifoodd.
