For the Telegraph.
DANIEL ROWLEYss ANSWER

is -
Brother Murray Sir: In perusing
the Telegraph of the 25th ut. / found an
advertisement and in answer please in
sert the following:
Brother Richardson Sir: / found in |
the aforementioned paper an advertisement
peculiarly adapted to expose small debt
TO the public, which considered only con-
cerned you and myself
Reader, This is rather new way of
doing business ofthis kind, especially since
brother Richardson knew very well where !
| resided at the time, inasmuch as I had |
written him upon the subject, but a few
weeks previous to the advertisement, and !
supposed the matter to be understood bell
tween brother r. and myself 1t is true
there is few dollars remaining unpaid,
(which | find is not uncommon among
our most worthy citizens at the present
day, )-but is this a crime of such vast
consequence as brother r. has stated
This think is rather hard censure. We
must be careful how we form contracts
for the future, lest by some unforeseen
events we may dishonor our christian
name. | am fearful lest brother R. may
not have been guilty of the same crime,
and therefore dishonored his christian
name. D. RowLEY.
Westport, Oct. T. 1910.
As for brother Murray, | would only
say, if he would not contradict his own
statements, we might establish our opinions
on one side or the other. Hope therefore
brother Murray will not state anything
that he may have to confess to be wrong.
With regard to the character formed as
an agent for the Telegraph, brother Muir
rays views and my own do not coincide.
I would only subjoin the following ques-
tons: Did not gain settlement with
you, and did you not say that you was
satisfied What is there yet which you
are unreconciled too

REMARKs.-The foregoing would have
been published last week-but i: was
crowded out, together with much else, by
the doings of the Legislature.
AS for the contradiction of which he
speaks, it is the thing anticipated in my
remarks, in connection with brother Rich
ardson's advertisement. But there is not
the shadow Of contradiction, or the least
discrepancy. Onturning TO the Telegraph
for October "a, 1888, / find the statement
alluded TO in regard to the settlement. to
be in the following words" Dan'l Row
ley-I think it duty now to say-has, at.
ter so long time, called and settled, so as
to satisfy me that he designs to be honest. "
This is in. perfect agreement with my
! statement in connection with brother Rich,
ardson's advertisement, as any one may
see by comparing. The quotation above
from my statement in 1888, is very fal
from stating, in unqualified terms, that
I" was satisfied l might be satisfied
that he designed to be honest" and ye
be altogether dissatisfied with his proceed
. ings, as entirely erroneous and involving
practical dishonesty. I so viewed it a
! the time; and was willing, on obtaining
settlement with him, to place the matter ii
as fair light as could for him. TIL
returns get is charge ofself-contradic
ton. Let the facts speake for themselves
as now shown.
He asks" what is there which yo,
are yet unreconciled to Z" This question
l manifests great want of consideration
If he insists on my answering it, / shal
be under the necessity of making devel
/ opponents which he would have occasion
to regret. I therefore forbear, until th
question takes the shape Of request, or
d least is repeated.
Perhaps it is owed to brother Richard
3 son, in this connection, to state that, S
le far as ! have any knowledge of the case
as existing between him and D.. Rowle,
r it is not the fact that the latter owes Ii
ID former, that is complained of-but the a
tending circumstances
IS
To CORR EsPoNDENTs.-Ale letter hi
been received from Gerrit Smith, whic

not forgotten. Three more commune
tions have been received from !" A. Fl. III.
