there are any citizens who have felt that
tha blame for the present condition Of
things rested upon any shoulders other
than Trainor w Parks, they may at
once relieve their minds and oousciences
Of any such impression. Mr L. is the

The above is simply tissue Of mis-
statements from first to last The
COMMITTED" alluded to was no commit
tee and represented only their own IN
diyidual selves, 1t consisted Of rwo or
three Of our citizens who were DESTROYS
Of restoring railroad connections
They went 10 the Troy and Boston r.
r. management aud asked If they could
be authorized to make any propositions
on behalf Of the T. & b r. X. TO Mr..
Park They were informed that the
Troy and Boston Rail Road would sub
NIT no proposition and listen TO none,
4 nor authorize any one else TO make one
| for them, until Mr. Park would yolun-
tArily return the property which was
attached. Furthermore the L. & B..
managers refused to have any personal
intercourse or communication with Mr..
Park under any circumstances, The
two or three gentlemen on their own
responsibility, and representing nobody
but themselves, then called on Mr. Park
at the Troy House, to see if he had any
proposition or plan to suggest by which
the railroad connections could be re-
stored. Mr.. Park then said he was
ready at any time to make connections
aud would run his cars to the State line
at any and all times that the Troy d
Boston X. r. would run to meet him.
/ lie was ready to submit all matters in
dispute to arbitration. This the Times
well understood when it penned the
| delAerate SANDER on Mr. Park. The
gentlemen alluded to as the commit
tee declare to us that they are deeply
aggrieyed ut the statement in the Times,
they say they never authorized such a
statement rs is there put forth, and new
or intimated that they found anything
"impracticable, tricky" "deeeitful,
"iesuitical,' or false" in Mr.. Park OF
anything that justified the thought that
he was attempting "to play the role o.
railroad sharper in a small way. -
The gentlemen alluded to as the com
mittee are Mr.. David Cowee and Hon
Geo. G. Burdett-and either they OF
the Times have grossly libelled Mr.
Park and misstated the interview
which the former declare was entirely
pleasant and frank on both sides. w
don't care to say which make the falls
statement Let the public judge, anc
let the committee" and the Times set
J tie the matter Of yeracity between them
selves. That's all.
P.S. If our neighbors Of the dali,
press Of the city are DESTROYS only 0
representing the actual and true condi
ton Of this unfortunate controversy
Why did they refuse TO notice or pub
lish the letter Of Mr. Park, which ap
peared in the BUDdrT two weeks since
in which Mr.. p offered to submit al
matters in controversy TO arbitration
and in which he made every other Of
