We published the Nativ I' Minister's reply in the telegraphi - columns of our issue of the 9th inst. f without word of comment, other thai the three noteß oi admiration appendei V to it. It was a reply so disingenuous ii 1 character that we scarcely cared indeei t to designate it by any specific term, or t 1 discuss it further.

Tbe Late Sir Donald McLean— i Vindication.— Some time since, an it F famous paragraph, in the letter of th r Auckland Correspondent of the Bnaban d Courier,' appeared in that journal, accut in? the late Sir Donald McLean of naviii acquired a large landed estate by th '" purchase of land from the natives wit a sums entrusted to biir. by the Govern r ment of New Zealand, to be used a , aecret Ecrvico mon y for the purposes 0 ' the Native Department. In an earl; a issue of the Waikato Times, we refute 3 this slander, and other owardly attack * made by tho 9auio writer ou tho ineuwr

of the late Defenoe Minister, and we are n happy to learn the remarks we then a mado have not been without their effect. I 1 A copy of the « Courier,' of the\2lst;July, 'J has been forwarded us. Tho IjcUtor of n Ijbat journal, in an article on thej^te Sir t Ranald McLean^ Bays :— -"No more un- .t ipleagant^ij^k, rifobably, pa^ldJbV under* ~-\ iijkkon by the editor of a newspaper than, o ph'e explaining aw*y of anka-itela tha|; t tjha paßsed hig sttpervisioai^r the'ihsertion I ■p! a oontradiotiofi to .the' statement of t iiiome^ trusted' 1 ■oarrespoSaent.
