CORRESPONDENCE.
We do not hold ourselves responsible for the opinions expressed by our correspondents]. :o: THE ;LATE FIRK AND ABUSE. [to the editor.] Sir, —One issue of your paper contained a local commending my liberality. This local was uncourted and given respecting a matter en'irdy private, I therefore, venture to say it was out of place. In your next issue is inserted a long letter, which is simplv a tirade of personal abuse and misrepre-'enr.aHon on three counts quite unconnected with the late fire. Now, sir, there is no excuse for any journal, claiming ordinary respertabilily, publishing such a letter as that signed by William Sumin rs.” Tho letter contained nothing of public interest, but merely offensive to me personally. I have only to add Jiat I care not what the Standard says relative to my liberality, or otherwise. I am, &c., G. W. Bishop. Gladstone Road, August 7th. [lt is true that our notice of Mr Bishop’s liberality was “ uncourted,” but as to its being “ out of place,” we, with all due deference to Mr Bishop, constitute ourselves the best judge on this point, and beg further to say that the Standard is as supremely indifferent to his opinion of our “ respectability ” as Mr Bishop is careless of our opinion as" “to his liberality or otherwise.”— Ed. P.8.5.l
