alizing several thousands out OF such

and have no desire 10 acquire.
II our making this statement placed US
in the attitude Of suppIlsnts to Congress

conse qusnces Of Withholding it, but in
SO far as il may meet the eye Of fair and
tellow-citizens, whose
official duties call upon them to pass on
the case, we would respectfully ask
whether the sudden destruction Of such
an amount of foreign goods in the hands
of one concern, who have for years past
annually paid to the government from
two to three hundred thousand dollars of
the public revenue, does not (under all
the other embarrassing arrangement of
the business of the city, present some
just claim on the national Legislature for
accommodation in the payment Of bonds
for duties, and still more for the return
of the duty on goods destroyed, which
cannot therefore GO into consumption.
Ii differences of opinion exist in that
respect, we trust that not more than one
member Of the national councils can be
found, disposed to sustain his opinions by
making false and injurious representa-
tions as to individuals.

WASHINGTON, March 0, 1886.
.Messrs. Blair & Rires:

My attention has been directed to u
communication which appeared in the
New-York Commercial Advertiser, on
the 7th instant, signed Boorman, John
ston s. Co. They, assuming that what
they have learned from the scavengers
Of this city, (some Of whom are fugitives
from lynch ia,U, most of them fugitives
from justice-men who come TO this city
OF refuge, whenever a session of con-
gress commences,) was true, have ar
raigned me for what they have 50 UNDER
stood ] said during the debate upon the
New-York relief bill in regard to them
selves. II would have been well, think,
ifthose gentlemen had ascertained what
] in fact did say in regard to them, be-
fore they proceeded to reply, SO far as
they were concerned, TO what they un-
derstood said. During the debate re-
ferred to, by what ] considered a fair
course Of argument, l did state that ]
had been informed that commercial
house in the city Of New York, doing
business under the name Of Boorman d
Johnston, had a custom-house bond un-
paid for the sum Of one hundred and fifty
thousand dollars. then supposed, for
the argument, they were interested in
the New-York Exchange to the amount
Of one thousand dollars, which interest ]
averred l would prove, since the fire,
had been enhanced, and not diminished,
and drew the following conclusions: LIST.
BY the late connagrsiion their interest
in the exchange concern had increased,
and that very increase was to constitute
their claim to the indulgence Of the gov
eminent for -four years on their bond of
one hundred and fifty thousand dollars at
the customhousc, without interest
equal TO n graiuity, if money was worth
to them what il was TO most men, Of thir-

MR.. LEIGH'S LETTER.

We have received from u valued friend at
Washington, Mr.. LEiGH's admirable letter to
the Virginia Legislature, declining to obey
its unconstitutional instructions, published in
a pamphlet form, which we shall lay entire
before our readers at the first opportunity.
We need not bespeak n candid attention to
this mastery performance, which demon
strates that even upon the Virginia doctrine
Of the right of instruction, the late proceed
ings of her Legislature were wholly unau-
thorised and void.

PEARCE'S SPEECH.

Some of the lowest order of loco foco and
Fanny Wright journals, are making prodi-
gious pother in favor of the vulgar and wan
ton attack, which d.. J. Pearce thought pro-
per to volunteer, in his late speech, on the
fair character and just claims Of the Mer-
chants Of New -York-tsuderers by the terri
BILE conAagration in December last land
which they naturally enough cry up as the
ne plus ultra of loco foco and whOle hog de-
mocracy. This is paraded in one or two
neighboring papers as evidence of public
sentiment, and might lead an uninstructed
foreigner to suppose, that the whole country
was sunk into the lowest depths Of political
degradation. 1t would be easy, to set this
matter right in a very few words, if the
speech, or the orator, were worth so much
trouble; and we might publish extracts from
twenty different letters in our best conducted
journals, which shew the utter disgust and
aversion with which the whole affair and its
author were entertained by the House.--Even
the Jackson party seemed ashamed of their
new convert, as is evidenced by the speeches
of Sutherland, of Penn. and hudson Of Conn.
But the vote Of the House ITSELF considering
the constitutional difficulties, which operated
with some worthy members, is sufficiently
significant of the weight and consequence
attached to Mr.. P's oratory-the bill having
been ordered to third reading by majority
of over forty potes! y
As the opinion of so respectable paper as
the N. Y. Courier g. Enquirer has been most
unfairly pressed into this scrvice-if not pur-
posely misquoted-we give the following
extract from the Courier Of Saturday last, as
expressing the feelings which Col. Webb, in
common with all hoaorable minds, must en-
terrain on such q subject.
The Relief BM.-No full report having
been published of the speeches of Mr.. Dutee
J. Pearce, Of Rhode Island, in opposition to
the Bill FOR the Relief of the Sufferers by the
great fire, we have been some what at loss
to discover the grounds assumed BY that in-
dividual for his notable course of conduct.
We have however Just found two, which are
alluded to by Mr.. Judson, of Connecticut, in
his speech in favor Of the bill, and We really
believe that the widest Imagination could
never fancy, the bittercst malgnity, or the
most astutc intellect, never urge, any thing
more absurd. The two grounds alluded to
are,
lst. That Arthur Tappan resides in this
city, and
Cd. That the members of the Hartford
Convention assembled at the house of a Mer-
chant, in Boston, the night before their de-
parture.
Such contemplate folly needs no comment.

From the N. Y. Com. Advertiser Of 9Th inst ]
MEssRs. BOORMAN & JOHNSTON.
The following letter from this old and
highly respectable firm, in relation 10
Mr.. Pearce, Of Rhode-I Island, was re-
ceived on Saturday, but at too late an
hour for insertion on that day.
For Me Commercial advertiser.
In your paper of Friday, we find in
the proceedings Of Congress, on the I'd
inst :, in relation 10 the relief bill for this
city, Mr.. Pearcs, Of RhoAe-Island. is
represented to have stated that ga firm
Of the name Of Boorman & Johnston, of
New York, had realized several thou
sands by the fire." You doubtless are
satisfied Of the fact that this remark was
made, or you would not have given it
currency.
The member from Rhode ] Island is un-
known to us but by name, and from such
information rs we can obtain, we are led
to the conclusion that there IL nothing in
his personal character which would call
for our notice Of the remark in question :;
but when he has availed himself Of his
OuCbut stutiVu W OOIuOc our names on
the national Legislature and the public
in manner involving a question OF mo-
raj integrity on our part, we think we
should be delinquent TO ourselves and
friends in remaining silent; and more
particularly as many individuals residing
in other places are Interested in the los
ses arising from the goods destroyed in
our stores on the memorable night of the
10th December.
We have therefore to state, that we
have proved TO the satis.a ction Of the
Insurance Companies of this city the de-
struction on that occasion Of more than
two hundred and ten thousand dollars
worth Of foreign merchandise, consign-
ed to or owned by Us, and that our in
surance was only 10 that amount, and
that Of such insurances, being mostly by
companies rendered insolveDt by that
occurrence, we have no hope Of recciv-
ing payment in The aggregate, Of more

Mr.. DUTEE J. PEARCE.-Before CO.
pying the following communication from
this gentleman, which appeared in the
Globe Of Thursday, we showed it 4"
Messrs. Boorman, Johnston s. CO. who
declined taking any farther notice Of his
statements, than to authorize US to say
that his assertions relative to their having
a custom-house bond for hundred and
fifty thousand dollars, unpaid, and to the
presumed amount Of their gains, are al
together fictitious and unfounded. To
show the fairness of Dir. Pcarce, and his
strict regard for vsracity, they have fur
nished us with the following copies of
two letters written by them to him, at the
request Of others, about four years since
being the same to which he refers in
the last paragraph Of his commune alton,
where he speaks Of their having "troub-
red him with their importunities."

To the Hon. ID. J. Pearce-
Sir-Your constituent, Mr.. Robinson Potter,
has requested us to unite with him on the
subject of the enclosed letter to Mr.. Dudley,
of the Senate.
After perusal, will you have the goodness
to deliver the letter to Mr.. ID. or if the bill
has passed the Senate, to Mr.. Cambreleng, of
your house.
We take the liberty of passing this through
your hands, because Mr.. Potter writes us that
he has addressed you on the subject.
APRIL 30, 1892.
"Mr. c. II. Russell has just called on us in
relation to the Tariff relief bill now before
the house. From what he states. we appre-
hend the bill may be lost by your persisting
in your amendment; and we take the liberty
of saying, that as far as we are concerned,
we would rather it should pass as it is, than
to hazard it by sending 1t back to the Senate.
We are in the case in which Mr.. Potter and
ourselves are concerned, content to take our
chance of special relief, it being one of clear
accident, and putting in for repairs, and we
think such chance is better than TINT of the
time being extended, or long passages pro-
vided for. If the bill passes as it is, we think
we can get one or more Of our representa-
tives to give you efficient aid another session
in obtaining special relief on the Newport's
