Correspondence Of the N. Y. Tribune.
MIR. Giddings and John Brown.
Pbiladelphia. Oct. %. 1889.


had conversation to-day with the Hon.
Joshua R. GiddIngs, in the course of which,
/ alluded to his alleged implication in old
Browns schemes for liberating the slaves.
He laughed at tho charge. Treason sits
lightly on his venerable shouldetsl He
says he never met old Brown, to his dis
tine. recollection, excepting on one oeca-
sion only.
That was moro than year ago (if l
rightly remember,) and at public lecture,
in Ashtabula County, which old Brown, he
said, delivered there. After the lecture
contribution was taken up, and Mr.. Gid
dings, publicly, gave the sum of three dol
lars. That was the first and only money
he ever contributed to the Captain.
In that lecture, the Captain spoke of
the duty Of the North to the slaves, and
stated that he intended to devote his life
end energies to their cause. This was
shortly after one of his Kansas exploits.
Captain Brown went home with him and
other gentlemen, and took tea at his house.
The conversation turned exclusively on the
Kansas troubles and the recent Oberlin
Rescue case. Capt. Brown was suddenly
called away; and he has never seen him,
nor heard, directly or personally, from him,
from that time till now.
He never heard Captain Brown speak of
any prospect Of forcible emancipation, or of
melting Instructions; on the contrary, he
understood him to intend 10 confne his op-
erations to the U. G. r. R.
He was much astonished at his aecusers
at the outbreak at Harper's Ferry, and new
er imagined that Old Brown was the terrible
Bill Smith, who with force of fifteen
men took Virginia with his right hand and
Maryland with his left, and shook them till
every corner of the Union resounded With
their shriekings.
He thinks the old captain less cufpable,
also than the authors of the Fugitive Slave
law. For Old Brown, he says, by his own
declaration intended to commit no slau0ht-
er; while the men who voted for the Fupi-
tive Slave law, knew that its passage would
stain the soil Of the North with blood.
| In Indiana, in Illinois, in Kansas, 10 Penn
sylvania, human beings have been shot
down in consequence Of the unrighteous
enactment of that statute. He will devel-
ope these views in a lecture TO be deliv-
cred on Friday night. on the servile iusur-
rections in the United States.
Mr.. Giddings also denied that he had
ever uttered the sentiments now again at
tributed 10 him in reference to slave insur-
rections. You must remember the passage
in which he is related TO have said that be
hoped to live TO see the day when the ne
grOes, armed with British bayoness and led
by British officers, would march against
their masters and overthrow Southern Sla-
very. Il is now thirteen years since that
passage was forged by a worthless Demo
} cratic editor at Columbus; he has denied il
he thinks on an average, every other year
since its publication; and yet, to suhservs
base political purposes, il Is periodically re-
produced TO influence the votes Of the peo-
pie.

-
The N. Y. Herald has full report of
the speech of Gov. Wise at Richmond, az
ter bis triumphal return from the war He
bears high tribute 10 the bravery, nerve,
fortitude and humanity Of Capt. Brown.
We quote:
He is bundle Of the best nerves ever
saw cut and thrust and bleeding and IN
bonds. He is man Of clear head, Of cour-
age, fortitudo and simple ingenuousness.
He is cool, collected and iUdomitable, and
it is but just to him to say that he was hui
name to bis prisoners, as attested to me by
Colonel Washington and Mr. Mills, and he
inspired me with great trust in his integrity
as man of truth. He is fanatic, vain
and garrulous, but firm, truthful and intel
licent. His men, too, who survive, except
the free negroes with him, are like him.
He processes to be Christian in communion
with the Congregationalist church OF the
North, and openly breaches his purpose Of
universal emancipation, and the negroes
themselves we're to be the agents, by means
of arms, led on by white commanders.
When Colonel Washington was taken, his
watch, and plate, and jewels, and money
were demanded, TO create what they call a
gsafeiy fund.-" to compensate the liberators
for the expense and trouble of taking away
his slaves. This, by law, was 10 be done
with all Shareholders. Washington ofcourse
refused to deliver up anything, and it is re-
markable that the only thing of material
value which they took, besides his slaves,
was the sword of Frederick the Great,
which was sent to General Washington.
This was taken by Stephens to Brown, and
the latter commanded his men with that
sword in his fight against the peace
and safety of Washington's native state.
He promised Colonel Washington TO return
it to him when he was done with it. And
Col. Washington says that he Brown was
the coolest man be ever saw in defying
danger and death. With one son dead by
his side, and another shot through, he felt
the pulse of his dying son with one hand,
and held his rife with the other, and COM
manded his men with the utmost composure,
encouraged them TO be firm and to sell
their lives as dear as they could.--0f the
three white prisoners--Brown, Stephensand
Copple--it was hard to say which was
most firm; and of the two negroes, it was
hard to say which seemed most cowardly
and false. The North Carolina negro of
cred TO betray all persons involved in the
affair if spared, and the Canada negro--who
was, believe one Of the members of the
Provisional Cougress-was crouchiug era
ven, who lied, as Brown said, for his life.

| Touching Incident.
Johnny Moore is the name Of bright.
eyed, jolly faced lad, twelve or fourteen
years Of age, whose invalid and widowed
mother, living on Morgan street, he helps
to support by the sale Of newspapers, and
by such errands and small jobs as he may
chance to fall in with. Johnny who is the
hero Of the pleasant and truthful incident
we are about TO record, is extremely neat in
his attire, though his clothes have not al
ways been Of the best, and may have shown
in sundry patches and mended rents, the
results Of both poverty and frugal care
In short, Johnny is just such boy as we
used to "read about" in the Sunday School
books" Yesterday morning, bright and
early, he was trudging along Broadway, be-
tween Franklin avenue and Washington
street, when he CHANGED to stumble against
a large pocket book, which he picked up
and found TO contain largo number Of
bank notes and papers. While he was
meditating on the sudden riches he had
amassed, and which he had slid into = ca
pacious pocket, or perhaps racking bis youth
ful mind whether to seek for the owner or
conceal his good fortune, gentleman
rushed by him in an anxious, hurried,
nervous manner, which convinced the boy
that he was looking for something, aud he
thought he knew what.
"Havc you lost anything T. asked Johnny
"Yes; my pocket-book," was the gentle
mans answer, have you seen iti"
The little fellow expected he had; he
didn't know though. What kind Of pock-
et-book was itg
This led to an adjournment to a neigh
boring store, when the flushed ard almost
breathless individual "of the first part" pro-
coeded to say that the pocket-book was a
largo black one, containing 81 200 in bank
bills and some accounts, strip Of red mo-
rocco binding underneath the flap, being
inscribed "Robert Thomas, Covington, Ky."
The description tailed, and Johnny's eyes
snapped cheerfully as he placed the treas
ure just as he found it into the strangers
hand; and we opine there was greater Joy
in that ono act than $4,000 could have
purchased at the expense Of guilty con-
science.
Mr.. Thomas hardly seemed To know
which to feel most-relief on the recovery
Of his money and papers, or gratitude to
the lad and admiration for his honesty
Taking Johnny by the hand, whose bound
ing heart (he knew not why,) had by thi:
time "splashed tears into his eyes, "the gen.
tleman led him to clothing store and
dressed him out from top to toe, in brar
new suit. Then proceeding to a jewclr,
store, he purchased good silver watch, up
on which he directed to be engraved thes
words: "Robert Thomas TO little Johnn
Moore. st. Louis, September Sd, 1856
Honesty is the best policy"
Not even content with this, the eenerou
stranger placed in purse five twenty do
lar gold pieces, which ho directed the la
to give to his mother.
We shall not attempt to portray the emo
tions of the boy. If his quivering lips an,
choked utterance, and the smiles that strov
so hard to get through the watery globe
that trembled in his eyes failed to tell wha
was going on in his heart, how shall we tel

Per CoNrRA.-We arc knowing to a
case of finding lost pocket book, by a
young girl which did not result in any such
generous feelings, or even expression of
thanks by the man who was made happy
in regaining his lost treasure, as filled the
generous heart of "Robert Thomas" and is
as follows:
A man from one of the Eastern States
sojourning in one of the northern villages
Of Ohio, becoming i'll, he sought the quiet
of one Of the village homes, where he was
nursed and cared for with all the tenderness
and care that his own mother could have
bestowed. His illness lasted for several
weeks, bringing him near to the verge oi
the river of death, and as he himself said
had he not had such uuremitting care and
watehfulness from the mother of the house.

During all this sickness, his GONZALES
cence and recovery, he had stated nothing
of his pecuniAry circumstances, having
agreed to pay stipulated sum for the carr
and attention bestowed, which was not in
duced or given for money only, but from
the purer Christlike injunction, "Inasmucl
as ye have done il unto one Of the least o
these, ye have done it unto me-"
Ono day, after he bad so far recovere,
as to walk about the yard and garden, b
came into the house in great agitation stat
ing that he had lost something, his pockO
book was gone, and be was ruined If h
could not find it. He then told of hi
treasure, giving minute description of III
pocket book and contents, although cher
was no name in or upon it, by which Ii
owner might DO known.
While this conversation was going on

HE COLCHESTER BANK CASE AGAIN-In
Connecticut they have another excitement over
the Colchester Bank swindling Case 1t will
be remembered that Jones, the swndling cash
Ter of the Colchester bank continued for a LONG
time to escape arrest. He was finally taken
at the Metropolitan Hotel in New York. War
rem and Simeon Leland who keep the hotel
made some desperate efforts to rescue him. 1t
is charged that they had very important
part in the swindling business and, within
few days, Warren Leland has been arrested
and taken to Colchester, where he will be mt
on trial next Tuesday His bonds have been
fixed at $4,000. If this case comes to trial
there will be some noteworthy Developments
of crime; but the administration of ms.
tice in Connecticut, has failed SO sadly
in several cases, of late that we can
not be sure that any scoundrels ar
rested and tried there, at any town with
in days journey of Hartford, will he
convicted and punished. Brockett, the forger,
has been let off; murder has found friends to
hide it from justice Jones, the swindlinp
cashier, was set free after paying over GER
tain amount of money. Is it likely that this
Leland will not escape? 1t lis not like Connec.
ticntas we have always known her heretofore
to trample justice underfoot to save rogues
from punishment.
We see it stated that the rascal Jones has
instgated this arrest in consequence of a quar-
rel between him and Leland
