DEAR SlR:-Please do me the justice to cor
rect wherever you was mistaken in to-day's
Hawk Eye. You are mistaken about my telling
you that We never got any printing done only
what We paid for in free passes We have paid
you at various times for printing posters, cards
and advertisements, within the last three wears
and owe you now for job which we will
pay on presentation Of bill. When present.
ed yon season pass last winter, mentioned
that it was usual for newspapers to keep our
running time Of trains in and charge nothing
for it where we gave them season pass, and
you said you had no objection to that, as it
the community as it was to the r. r. Co., SO far
that was q bargain. It is perfectly consistent
that our Company should get their print.

the transaction Of their business at that end of
the route, as all the offices of the Superinten-
dent, General Freight and Ticket Agent is loca.
ted there, and it could not nor should not be
expected that they will send to Burlington or
any other station ON the road to have their
printing dope, when they can get it done At
'home on short notice, but l have invariably
got what printing was necessary for this end OF
the route done ia Burlington and did not ask
to have it done for nothing, either, nor have
not except the running time of the passenger
trains. ! have been requested by most of the
editors in this vicinity, when there was change
of time made in the arrival and departure of
trains, to communicate the same to them but
perhaps not by you, am not certain. As you
say, if both parties yourself and the G. B. 4 Q.
4. r. know each others terms cant see where.
in there should be any disagreement here
sity with Railroads as well as with great many
individuals, and am certain that stockholders
will not censure the efforts OF nll honorable
means OF SAVING That can be resorted to.
s43 Yours truly,
o, DAVID REMyCK.
RENARKs.-We have not said that the 3. G.
L Q. Railroad refused to pay any thing but
passes for Printing. We said that they only
'ad their advertisement announcing the running
IT trains, &c., pablished where they could pay
or it in Passes
Mr.. Rcmick is mistaken when he says we ever
expressed willingness to advertise for passes
BECAUSE We considered the matter of interest to
abscribers. When he last negotiated we dis. |
inctly refused to put in the advertisement of |
bis Road on the terms asked, aud ex pressed our |
pinioasfreeiy to Mr.. Rcmick in regard to the |
'ocy OF the Road. After two or three discus
ions Of the matter We finally consented to put
be advertisement 10 our weekly (but not daily /
nd take pass. ha aHes sI II
But again. We advertised for this Company I
! the years '65 and 80, by order and direction
{ The Company, to the amount OF $50, which
IT. Remick repudiated and refused TO pay in
une, 1856. Itis true, as he says, that The Road
~ patrouized this office and paid money to W
n Printing. But only to an amount less than.
100 in three years. During the same time we
ave been paid sl2o each by two Roads that do
