proves q total failure, tor We not o,ly disiin-

I am truly sorry, Mr.. Editor, to involve you
in controversy in which you can have no
possible interest. ! assure you was very
much surprised at the attack upon sou in the
Tribune OF the 9th, aud cannot understand
why he refers to tho II. b. Co. Perhaps he
thinks the community generally arc prcjuiiced
against the Co., and il he can only contrive to
mix the Wrghts up with them, he can transfer
that prejudice to them and induce the people
to believe that they have not circulated more
money in W. I. than the owners If the Josie.
| like to see them squirm, but didn't think
they would get mad ut harmless letter, and
abuse you for publishing it. There's only one
thing about it | regret: see haze been iu-
strumental (partialiy) in bringing about one
effect deprecated in opposition, viz: engender-
ing hard Feelings. Who would have thought
II letter written to you would huve such an
effect? cannot understand why he should
pitch into you so, or why suspec. you ut all?
That unfortunate word '.Nef" must be sig
nifcant IF something, what is it? am ignO-
rant Of its meaning-only saw it used in one
of your paper, as referring to the Tribune
Had known its magical power, should have
substituted some other. When will we learn
to be cautions? And in this connection
had mt yon better caution "NcF'' against
making such sanderUus insinuations agains u
the women of Olympia rs he does? IL suspt-
clan rests upon any, Why not limit it? We in
Victoria esteem the ladies OF Olympia very
highly, aud never dreamed that such suspicion
attached to any of them as he would instnuate
| intended my reference to the remark of one
of the shop-keepers here, us u compliment to
the Anderson, little thinking it would be mis-
construed or commented upon in such an un-
gentcmanly manner. ! consider his slur
about us inconsistent with home protection as
to employ Spratt l. Krmlcr's boilcr-makcrs,
who are now at work on the "Jose McNear. ~
| do mt remember ofthc Wrights having offer.
ed to sell a vessel to the rebel government,
but do remember that they negotiated with
Victor Smith for the sale of the steamer q G
s. Wright to the U. s Government. This
must be what he refers to, as it compares so
well with nll his other arguments. Notice
the argument to prove the Anderson never
charged $40 30 for the iuurd trip. lie says
he can produce person who WIS once charg.
ed S33. lie jumps at concius ions and calls
persons hard names without rejecting whether
he is uttcring truth or falsehood.
| fancy the less the Tribune correspondent
says about lying, the better it will be for the
reputation Of the whiting owner in the Josie.
The Wrights have always had vessels charter
| ed to the U. s. Government, and think can
show fully as good a record as the judgment
owner Of the Tribune. l might repeat some
things that have heard said against his
friend, but can't see how it would benefi,
the cnnse of my friends, nor do think they
would thank me for doing SO.
| did not say, as II. ?. asserts, that Capt
Fleming was ffoxe ont by the Wrights, but BY
the travelling community. assert this from
my own knowledge was there and saw the
steamer Enterprise take his business from him
Was il a patriot or rebel sympaihizer who
chartered and brought the Enterprise to run
against bin,
