For some reason or other, The TRIBUNEs Bos-
ton correspondence seems to be perennial source
of hot water in Massachusetts,. During the last
three years | do not think week has passed with
out an attack from some quarter upon your pesti-
lent collaborateurs here. These 1attering and
pleasant attentions used to be directed chiefly 10
your Occasional Correspondent, Mr.. Byles Some
Of our Hunker newspapers, when they got exceed
insy riled by his gibes, accustomed ~ dcsig-
nate him as a hyena and ghOul. Owing 10 their
natural want Of discrimination they seldom were
able Ia distinguish between your Occasional ana
vOur Own Correspondent and therefore the delicate
compliments which they meant for Mr. Byles were
not unfreduently vented upon me, by whom they
were not at all deserved. Now, however am
happy to say, am constantly receiving these touch
ing little tokens of regard on my own original ac-
count, and can honestly and satisfactorily ENJOY
them as my own property ana not lhdl vi your w
