Received ut the Cooper institute Meeting
Letter from tho secretary OF the IT. Pni-
rick's Mutual Alliance.
Ia he Ehtor or The sun.
SIR: Permit me to reply to the uncnlcd-
for attack made in the letter Of this lady which
appeared in your issue Of the 9th inst, and to
supplement few facts. You have In spirit of
fair play given me the privilege OF exhibiting
figures and vouchers that cannot be controvert-
ed, but, to use vulgar adage, =" as there Ia
niger In the fence must, in self-defence, ex-
hibit the colored gem for public edincation.
In the first place take exception 10 this lady's
statement THAT she had written to the heads ~
the Alliance herself, and never obtained any &C.
count Cf it," Probably this assertion may be
defect uf memory. but allcge as fact that the
President months ago wrote to her Ia reply To
her letter, giving lengthy details ana reiaikS;
a count rendered by mo Strange 10 say, the
courtesy # a reply mover ,nme until the rush in
print and the letter ~ the press accusing the
tiicers uf swiNdliur.
The nun states that person himself a mem.
her Of the association heard with horror and
Indignation that the lady had only received
tlWO out Of the $500 received, and that she
ought tu pdbli3h II. Now, little rchsctinn un
the state of facts she received from the Pres ident
and believe from her own agent here, should
have put her on her guard against mer'urh
omis sary, and that the person likely to Nolun-
teer such information was one OF the sCccdcts
who with periurcd lips fureswore the Alliance
4 and therefore would not itAtc tO NCtIhN Ult
crcdulity Of the Nun Of kenmare as he did that
~ his former associates who trusted him; aud
| ~ shall now annex the names OF those who
received tickets for the lecture and refused
making returns for the same. the lady can best
Judge u the wisdom Of her new departure anu

The onlv persons who sold tickets at the door
were four Ut the above named parties.
| The Nun Is ut aware. | assume, that the
| Co'per Institute has eats for 2nn only, and
| that 1t would require paying audience ot snl
| Ic fact that the society expended much more

| she ought not 10 forget when she traduccd,
| ing Tor the Institution a sum OF si5,i 81 from
thc lecture alone which she hae received, besides
| hundreds of dollars subscribed thcreat and the
| proceeds from two lectures in brooklyn and one
| IN New jersey.
| II il apparent that the trouble In this matter
| arises between the Nun aud her agent. j. Rogers
| who ha- been recalled, and ~ he states that the
| Nun has treated him badly too, they must settl,
| their disputes as best they can but protest
| AGAINST the officers of the association or the ~

for by facts and figures herewith annexed. II
| Is a bad omen, this lack Of fOrhearancc and
| temper, too willing to defame the aiders IN a
| good and noble work ~ charity, and deplora.
| bic reversal of the motto eXprc sed by the giftcd
