not understand why matter should reach
Wheeling two days later than Rochester,

The Register is a notorious news thief,

Your letter OF February ., together with q

gotit from Mr.. T. S. Heath, correspondent
Of the Indianapolis Sentinel and several
other papers, with whom myself and Mr.. G.
S. Hamilton, the correspondent Of the
Buffalo Eprtss, Utica Herald and, pre-
sums, the Rochester Herald and several
other papers in that section OF country,
have had An arrangement to manifold
copies Of everything Of general character
and exchange, with the understanding that
such matter should be sent by mail. |
sent the Wood interview to the INrELLl.
GEScEE from here in the manuscript writ
tea on manifold paper, having received it
from Nj. Heath, whv Gays that he also gave
Nj. Hamilton copy.
| do not think that either Mr.. Heath or
Nj. Hamilton intended that the ISrRLLl.
1EScER should be behind in its publication.
Oar understanding has been that the
Wheeling copy should not be used till the
day after the copy had been started, 80 that
Inc matter, as We calculated here, should
DO printed simultaneously. Either there
haa been delay in the transmission by
mail or you hare held the copy over for a
day or two in the ISrELLlGESCER office. OF
one thing | am positive, every person con
cerned has acted in good faith, and know
mat the lSrELLlGEScER did not clip the
matter from eny paper. Respectfully,
GEORGE GILLlLAND.
