SIR: trust that paper of the acknowledged
fairness Of THE TRIBUNE Will allow the correction Of one
or two errors which found their way into Its col
umns concerning the institution best known the Free

splendid building scarcely 10 years Old That build
ing was built rather hurriedly, and with avowed cheap
enlng in ls48 any visitor may satisfy himself that IL
requires continual repair 90 render IL habitabio
that the hourly changes from room to room shake
IL from top TO bottom, and that its accOmmoda-
tons calculated for the experiments OF ~ years
ago are not now sufficient for the enlarged num-
Der of students and more liberal course. Secondly your
correspondent states that 100000 Is at present asked
forhad he read THE TRIBUEEs reports he would have
found half that amount TO be the rutha straw showing
either careiessness or prejudced apimus. Thirdly we
have the ofrepeated argument that the city Is really
about this number graduate and the remainder could be
educated In the grammar schools The average number
n attendance last year was 69 all OF whom received an
education ess complete mnch higher than can
be afforded the schools, and who could not BE- trans

higher branches) than is now paid. -

support OF the pubic schools, in which his
children are educated; not cent for up
holding the courts, which administer JUS
tice alike to him as to his neighbor, or for
maintaining the police which guards and
protects his life and property? Shame up
on the man who demands such unjust
privilege over his tax paying neighbor,
and asks that he who tolls and labors shall
pay alone. But this exemption is not war;
raEted by law, though the faithless repre-
sentatives of the people may have granted
such privileges to the bondholders by enact
ments, yet such law being paipably unjust
and incosistent with Republican institu-
tions hence is clearly unconstitutional;
for the Constitution was made and adopt
ed by the people for the very purpose to
establish justice" Citizens, if this present
system of government lasts much longer,

taxation and compelling labor and indus
try to bear all the burdens of the Govern
ment, with demagogues and carpet baggers
continuing to rule and ruin our country,
and fanatics to hold high carnival in the
councils of the Republic, encouraging in
dOlence, fraud and violence, confidence will
soon be wholly ruined and commerce and
industry prOstrate, and whilst the rich are
getting richer the poor will continue to get
poorer, until soon we will be the worst en-
slaved, most abject and most .wretched
people upon the face of the earth.
Already ninety out of every hundred

condition OF our finances, the heavy taxes
and crushing burdens of the people-con-
tinues much longer, worse times will speed

The celebrated case which has been some time pending in the London Court of Ar- ches, to test the legality of the ritualistic practices introduced by the Rev. Mr. Mac konochie at St. Alban's Church, Holborn, has been decided, and the judgement is up- on the whole very unfavorable to the ritua- lists. though like most legal judgements upon church matters, it will probably not be very effectual Mir. Mackonochie is for bidden to mix water with wine in the chal- ice or to elevate the bread and wine ''for an appreciable time" or to toss his censer towar s persons or things;" yet he may burn sncense as much as he pleases, may perform slight elevation of the host, and may use lighted candles on the commun- ion table, The charge of excessive kneel- ing, which had also been brought against the reverend gentleman, the Court pru- declines ta pass upon, but refers it to the judgement of the Bishop. On the whole the trial seems to have left situalism about where it was before.-Iribune

 Meantime, the San Francisco Committee of Vigilance had become permanent or ganization. Already some of its members had, by union of ruse and force, taken two notorious thieves and robbers out of jail, one Sunday afternoon, when the pris- oners were attending religious service; and thirty minutes after the two men, Whitta- ker and Mackenzie, were swinging from impromptu gibbets, extended from the committee rooms. They were, in reality, q committee of vigilance" and their argus eyes discovered much crime and many crim- inals.
 One evening, about a week before the time set for the execution of Berdue, some of the detectives of the committee were out upon scout among the sand-hills which then stretched between San Francisco and the Mission Dolores. Suddenly and ac- cidentally one of their number stumbled upon man lying upon the ground partial ly covered with branches of the. ssscrub oak, which grew in rich profusiou in that vicinity.
