TIE IuPERTURBABLE BURR.

To the Editor Of The " y Tribune
SIR: 1t is pity to spoil a fine moral story, per-
haps but your correspondent Cd. draws too severely
upon our credulity, in his tale of Burrs conscience,
smtten before the Albany Court at the mention OF
Hamton's name.
In point of self.eommand Aaron Burr was never
eaualed at the New-York bar He was never startled
he was never overcome. He never repented With
his dying breath he justified his conduct in the affair
with Ger. Hamilton. Tie proof is abundant, and su'
perabundant, that his conscence-so far as he had a
conscence-wss at perfect peace with regard to Ham
ton's death.
geneman--a man OF feeling anu inteligence-in short
he was the very last person at the bar to indulge in
the brutality of insulting fallen man, of joining in
a vulgar hue and cry against him.
The lawyer is still living who, in the year 1913,
occupied the post of confidential clerk in the Office o.
Colonel Bur-. He assures the writer Of these line
that he has no recollection of any ircident at all re-
semblng that related by your correspondent, aud is
cordent from his long and intimate knowledge Of both
Bur- and Emmett that nothing Of the kind
or could occur between them.
A coarse minded juror at Buns trial for treason at
Richmond taunted the prisoner with the name oil Ham
ton. With the utmost cooness and in tone OF quiet
dignity he challenged the juror peremptorly and had
him set aside but took no ither notice Of the event.
In fact the conclusion irresistible that the magna-
ton of your correspondent has imposed upon his men,
ory-s thing that not unfrequenty happens respect
ing occurrences Of forty years ago. NERIrAs.

that ell he said was false he told him be would giys
him Just fifteen days to marry his sister, and unIe.s he

A VALUABLE HAT Box-EEt ovERY of $4, 700 IN STOLEN MoNEY-It will be re- membcred that on the night of June 14tll, a package of money contaiaing 4,100 was stolen from drawer ill the office of the Americsn Ho- tel, which money was in small bills of the East Haddam Bank and had been left with the hotel clerk for safe keeping by Mir. R. s. Pratt who had taken it from the Pi.enix Bank in Bank ill Boston. A diligent but fru:tless search for the thief was made, and reward of $l ,0O0 was offered by the bank for the thief and the money. The affair at the time was put
 into t!le hands of officer Chamberlain, and after search lad been abandoned, he requested Mr. Weeks, the proprietor of the Hotel, to give him notice when any one connected with the establishment was about to leave, and rested on his oars
 At the time of the robbery, Mr. Wefks conversed with his employees, and from the nervous and anxious bearing of the head wait CT, Moses M. Fuller, his suspicious against him were strong, but were almost cleared away in few days. They Were again directed towards him, when fortnight since, he gave the pre- prictor notice of his intention to leave. Since then his movements have been watched and the suspicious increased.
 When he gave notice of his intention to leave, he stated that he did so to better lrim- self, which he proposed to do somewhere on the seaboard, by keeping "a little place" :" which he was enabled to do "with little money he had saved up." This story was direct contradiction of one he told the clerk when askiLg the pay for his services which he said was all the money he should have to go away with
 Mt. Weeks has made one excuse and anotl,- CT to delay his departure, but Fuller was raid last night and Chamberlain notified to be after him. This morning, Fuller left the hotel and went over 10 the Trumbull House and shortly returned with a hatbox under his arm. He paid visit to the barber shop and toek the box with him. The barber said "he ought to wet the new hat, and was about to unite the string which held the cover, when Fuller told him his new hat wus or his head, and nothing but an old Panama he was going to wear at the seaside was in the box. The barber was satisfied with the story, and Fuller took the box under his arm to the steamer l. Board man. After the first bell had been rung. he. went upon the upper deck and sat down Chamberlain, who, all the morning had follow led him as faithfully as his own shadow, also went npon the deck, and moving the hatlsox from Fuller's side. sat down by him. The weight of it's contents were more than the weight of q hat, and Chamberlain asked him what was in the box.

Republican papers make a hue and cry about the loans ta meet tlre expenses ofGovernment It is no new thing for the Government to borrow. All par ties have done it, and will again.
 Democratic (Ld.) Clarion.
 When we borrowed in Washington's time it was to pay off the cost of the revolution. When next borrowed in Madison's time, it was to pay off for the war of 1872. The Florida war took twenty mill lions out of the public purse. and borrowed again to replensh it. The Mexican war drained the treasury of a hundred millions, and borrowed again to replenish that. But while war bas always sadded us with debts peace has always been consid cred the time to pay them. Mir. Buchanan has no war to pay for past, present, prospective. He IS the first President who has found it necessary to adopt the policy of borrowing to meet his extrava- gant expenditures in time of peace-a policy which, if continued can only end in burdening as Eng land is burdened with mountain of national debts 57--8R Albany ECening Journal.

fY" We notice with much pleasure, that Hon WILLIAM V. PECK has been nominated by the Re publican State Convention of Ohio for the office O Judge of the highest Court of that State. Mr. Peck is at present one of the District Judges of Ohio and is spoken of by the Cincinnati Gazette as "a urist of eminent ability, who will grace the seat he is to occupy on the Bench of the Suprer Court His name heads the Republican State Ticket and his election bya great majority, is considered cer- tain.
 The Hartford Courant is not correct in speaking of Mir.
