Tlio tact (hat 1 urn m voting seveial thousand dollars in tho Hills is proof that I am i-iiicoro. iu my conviction that it U a rich country. I am imt tho man to throw money away fooh.-dily on sen- , miuou rumors. 1 n-M no one to go to , the HilU, and should hcnv if any ( one should bo induced to go i hero oil my representation, and linn not be ' sali.-iled. As regards Mr. Konplr-kom, I repeat re-peat that ho sent the letter to Mr. Gardiner before ho had invciligat. d or knew aught of the country. He was tired and despondent when he wrote, but was cheerful and well pleaded before I left. I doubt if bo will writo anotner unch loiter. Mr. Gardiner's b iso insinuations against mo are umwudiy of him, and while l hey cann.it ifruro my character in thy community where I am to we l known, they show a spirit of nia- liciuusne.vi on his part that ret lee Is to his own discredit.
