Mr. Hamilton. on his arrival here. went to
the home of an intimate friend, who is familiar
with his affairs and who explained some de-
tails which Mr. Hamilton did not wish to be
discussed publicly at this time. Mr. Hamilton
said that he had not the slightest desire 10
conceal his wherea bouts although owing to his
continued i'll health and the attention required
to formulate his answer TO the Armstrong COM
mittee he did not desire to see visitors. In re-
ply to request for formal statement the
Judge" distated the following:

concerning the length of his reply.
When it was suggested that the Judge might
give his personal views upon the charges put

details of his reply, Mr. Hamilton's friend re-
piled:

OF the legislative inquiry. certain statements
have been made relative to Judge" Hamilton, 5
relations with the subject. but no charges have
been formulated, and he is now engaged to the
best of his ability in answering the statements
made from time to time concerning him.

would return to New-York. he said il would
+ depend entirely on the determination OF the
physicians. His friend added r.
Judge Hamilton has been Obliged to take
( a prolonged cure at the springs. His illness
il now manifesting itself in cutaneous atfec-
ton Of the hips and shoulder. Should the ply

Il comply. as saving his health is far more impor'
i tant to him than this insurance controversy
