| Mr.. EDITOR: communication in your Issue
| Of this evening from AN Old Member Of the
| Barr exhibits some irritation. | regret having
| wounded the old gentleman sfeelings and aroused
his spleen, and will be forbearing with him.
| IL the "many members Of the barn In carrying
out his wishes have unwittingly done anything
OF which they are ashamed, then gratitude would
| cOnstran him to Withhold their names; but IL they
1 have no occasion for shame, but rather for glory
surely he has no sufficient reason for failing to
foTtify his statements concerning them. My sole
| purpose has been to disabuse the public Of the
| impression naturally created by the first article
| You published relative to the Judge Of the Or
| phans' Court-that the members of the bar had
| generally, or In any considerable numbers, uni
ted In contributing for, or approved of, the test
| nonial said 10 have been by them presented to
| his Honor, far less sanctioned the extraordinary
| language In which that article was couched
| How cfectualy this has been done the public
| may judge from the satisfactory evidence fur
nished when called for by one of the class referred
| to- and claiming TO know the opinions of others;
| furnished, too, by the person best acquainted
with the facts attending the transaction His
Honor may cong ratulate himself If this mistaken
| Kindness OF his admirer does not bring it's share
of pity that anybody is to be found willing to
| think him weak enough to be gratfed by the
| aduation and grandiloquent twaddle I'm which
ne Is dragged before the public. He may well
| exciaim, save me fr m my friends - and re-
Joce that his good taste aud bad sense are vindI-
| Gated by one sagey discovered to be his secret
and deadly enemy"
