COurtesies Between Northern and Southern
Odd Fellows.

FORTRESS MONROE, April 14.-The visit of the
representatives of the Greble Lodge of Odd
Fellows, at this place, to the Grand Lodge of
Virginia, in session at Richmond, Va, few
days ago. affords very noticeable incident of
the genuine good feeling and the general desire
of an approximation towards a better under
standing between both sections of the country,
so long separated by internal dissension and
warfare, as at present existing among the people
of Virginia. The gentlemen comprising the
delegation who visited Richmond speak very
highly of the cordial welcome extended them by
their brethren of the Old Dominion. The
Greble Lodge of Odd Fellows, established here
during the war, was organized by persons at
tached in va rious capacities to the Government
departments on the Point, and was named after
the lamented Lieutenant Greble, of Philadel.
phia, who fell at Big Bethel. 1t has since be.
come large and efficient body. The warrant
for its institution was granted by the Grand
Lodge of the United States, but at the last ses-
sion of that lodge it was recommended that it
be turned over to the jurisdiction M the Grand
Lodge of Virginia, in consequence of its being
within their territory.
This transfer of authority was consummated
this week, in a manner which promises the hap.
piest results and which leads to the belief that
the Grand Lodge of Virginia, by their action in
the case, will be solely governed in their de-
liberations by the high principles on which the
Order is founded.

The Habeas Corpus.

Tn0 HAben0 corpus.
s Judge Underwood, of the United States Dis
trict Court of Virginia, has published card to
correct perverted report of one OF his recent
opinions in q habeas corpus case. He says;--"ln
that opinion did not express doubt of the
legality of the late Peace Proclamation, nor was
its legality called in question by any one con-
nected with the case, nor did express the
opinion that the writ of habeas corpus could
not be executed in one State while the Rebel
lion was not suppressed in another; but the
very contrary opinion. My opinion simply was
that the late Peace Proclamation did not pre-
tend to revoke the previous proclamation of
President Lincoln, suspending in certain cases
the writ in the States lately in insurrection;
and l stated that the Peace Proclamation did
not include Texas, and that it had not and was
not intended to have so broad and general an
application as the petitioner supposed, and
therefore refused to grant his prayer"

LEGAL INTELLIGENCE,

COURT OF QUARTER SESSIONS Allison, Presi,
dent Judge-The trial OF Elizabeth Heitzler-
who was charged with the larceny Of 1850, the
property OF Clement Katzmeyer, the trial of
which was began on Friday, was resumed and
continued this morning. Katzmeyer and the
defendant, it appeared, were occupants OF the
same house, the defendant being tenant OF his.
He had stolen from him, according to his testi-
mony, the aforementioned sum of money.
1t was taken from his room. He made com
plant before an Alderman, who issued q war
rant, upon which the defendant was arrested
and in her possession was found $l55. The de
fendant was able to account to the satisfaction
OF the Alderman for the possession of the
money, and he discharged him from custody,
and dismissed the complaint Subsequently,
however, she was re,arrested upon warrant
from Alderman Beitler, who bound her over for
trial.
The defendant denied the larceny, and alleged
that the money found In his possession was the
earnings of her husband, now deceased, which
fact was within the knowledge of the prosecu,
trix when he made the charge against her, and
was well known also to numerous others of her
friends and scquaintances. She called a number
of witnesses in SUPPORT of her allegation, and it
was proven by them beyond doubt that she was
in possession of the money found long before
the alleged larceny. Excellent good character
v as also shown. .-
District Attorney Mann thought and said to
the jury that case had not been made out
upon which 1t would be safe for a Jury TO con-
Vict, and requested them TO render verdict of
not guilty. Verdict accordingly.
Charles Berestord was convicted of the lar
ceny of a coat worth ten dollars, the property of
Mr. Yane. The coat was stolen from Front and

defendant.
