WASHINGTON, July l6, 1876.
.uessrS. EditOrS:--As friend to the late
Gen. John p. Van Ness and his widow, feel
IN duty bound to reply to a paragraph in your
paper OF to-day, headed "a Singular Case"
1t Is said in your paper that 1.-THE annunca-
ton" of the existence of "the widow" was
subject of surprise because she Gen V. ny
was not known to visit the lady in question"
This is great mistake; his frequent visits to
the lady was not only subject for curiosity,
but also one of remark. That the alliance of
Gen. Van Ness and the late Mrs. M. A. Com
nor should be cause OF surprise, do not under
stand! The lady's protensions are equal, if not
superior, TO those of the late Generals; in point
OF personal appearance and accomplishments
she is his equal; in point of family she is his
superior, the family being one of the oldest
and most distinguished of New Hampshre.)
The lady and her friends have every reason
TO believe there was will made, and the legiti-
macy OF her name, as Van Ness, was therein
made known The belief of there being will,
and the hope that it would come forward and
It's contents deveope all their relations together
with severe illness, has been the cause of
much delay.
The widow did not Gas have every reason
10 beloVe) say "the marriage took place in
1852" When, where, and how the marriage
nd take place, will be made known by legal pro-
ceedings. Let me say through the medium of
your valuable paper, that those who are dis
posed to njure most amiablo lady at this af-
Hlcted time, better not express heu private
opinions too publicly. Honi soft, que mai u
penSe. Your friend and correspondent,

MYsTERIoUs CASE OF MURDER. We men.
toned few days since that Mr.. Adolphus Muir,
highly respectable citizen of Dnwiddie coun-
ty, Va. has been missing since the I'd February
last, when he left the house of his brother in
that county, having in his possession IS, 900
He was last seen at the house of a neighbor, in
the vicinity, against whom suspicion is now
directed as the murderer. The suspected per-
son is connected with the oldest families in Vir-
ginia. A correspondent of the Newark AID.
vertser noticing the absence of Mr.. Muir,
says:
Three letters, however, were received by his
brother-John A. Muir-purporting to have
been written by as many different individuals,
but all evidently in the sa'ae hand scriting.-
The first of these letters, written, ii loaS pre-
tended, at his request, stated that lie intended
to 60 to New York; the second, written under
his o1cR signature, but not in his hand writing,
affirmed that he was in New York, and about
to go to Missouri; the third written over a fic-
titous name, informed his friends that he was
| probably drowned in the Mississippi. How
! long 1t was after the reception of this letter,
about the lst June, before the hereaved family
entertained the suspicion of a murder do not
know. These facts were made public on the
4th OF July, and after investigation, made by a
deeply excited community, the convection in
! the minds of all is, that he never left his own
immediate nighborhood.
