The following Il the letter Of that perfect
brick" in his way-the Rev. Mr.. Weiss-sl'
luded to above:
MY DEAR CONWAY The papers inform me
of something which should be glad 10 know
more about, and L hope you will find time to
write me . line 1 cannot express what /
think Of q parish that will send its pastor
North to collect funds to shore up its walls,
knowing that an important element in his
success must be his anti-slsvery proclivities,
and so pocksting the money furnished by
Anti.Slavery Societies here, having all tho
time counted upon the crisis and the existing
sympathy to swell those contributions, then to
quietly dismiss the pastor, but to retain the
funds
Nor can trust myself to express what
think of any parish that will vote its pastor
out of its pulpit for believing in the immacu-
late justice Of God and for applying it to
case that is the liveliest illustration of absolute
aud unmitiga ted injustice, and all in the name
of law and order-in the name of the Gospel,
in the name of the influence of that pulpit,
which, whom it does not depend upon the best
thing that it knows concerning God, becomes
rotten to its very timbsrs and must fall. II
is too lamentably ridiculous. But hope next
November will frost their noses for them.
In the meantime it is all well with you, and
the very idea of sympathy is mistimed. Leave
them, do not trust to any adjustments OF ar
rangements, to . fresh vote or reconsidera.

after next 4th of March, free one.
I remain Indignantly. but none the less
hopefully, and ludicrously affected. yours

TIE REPORTER OF THE INVESTIGATION, IN
der the habeas corpus for the mutes in custo-
dy of Platt H Skinner, wishes to correct two
or three leading points wherein be finds he
Inexperienced the answers Of Mr.. o Odds.
The 81 900 per annum offered to Mr.. o. was
not in Washington, but occurred more than
ten years ago. At first going to Dr. SINNERS,
DIR. had not his carpetbag with him, VIII b
was at his boarding house. 1t was not till
three or four days after that, by SINNERS
persevering entreaty, the carpet-bag was
taken, and Mr. o. went to SINNERS house.
The reason why Mr.. o. did not expostulate
with DR.. 8. on his treatment of the children
was on account of q mental hallucination in
S which impels him on regardless of conse-
quences. 1t was useless to expostulste; it
would only produce quarrel, and Mr.. o.
was determined to avoid that. Mr.. 0 has
never applied for place in the new institu-
ton, nor has any application been made to
him. He has no idea that more than 81 500
per annum could be paid to a principal, and
be could not engage for less than $4,000, be-
sides the other conditions as before stated
The only interest he had in the schools is
merely a general interest, growing out of his
views Of the philosophy of education. Lastly,
Mr. o. wishes not to be understood as saying
positively that DR.. S. struck the child, Ann
Szymanoski, with his double fist; the move
ment, indeed, appeared to be such, but it may
have been with the open hand.
JAMES HENDERSON, alias Pat Darnell, who,
it is alleged. picked the pocket of Thomas c.
Dom, at the National on the evening of the
ou, kHnilst enuedFOEinS 10 Queu disturb
snce } and for which he is under indictment,
was released from Jail on $500 bail, taken by
Judge Crawford, of tho Criminal Court
This case may be classed among the remark
able ones. A magistrate from Baltimore came
on here expressly to procure bail for the GRIM
inal, and was active in bringing security to
the committing magistrate for his release.
Failing therein, he made application to Judge
Crawford with more success and while his
release was being made out, his confederstes,
TO the number Of four or Eve, including the
notorious English Jim, were waiting near the
court room to glory of his success, and to carry
the accused in triumph back to the Monu.
mental city. Amongst the statements Is made
by the magistrate aforesaid, he asserts that he
knows that Henderson is not the person who
committed the robbery, and that he knows
who committed the act. If his assertions are
correct, he should give the name of the thief;
justice demands 1t; the city of Baltimore, for
whom he acts as judicial officer, demands it
at his hand. Heretofore when officers from
Baltimore have taken criminals out of our
Jail under bail, they have never been pro-
duced here for trial. Will 1t be any better
when n1ag1strates interfere. We shall see
what We shall see.
