MRS. PATTERSON'S CASE.
CARD OF EXPLANATION,

To the Editor Of the National Republican:
SIR: desire to correct statements that were
published in your very valuable paper o.
Wednesday last. On the evening Of the eth In
slant, and tho night Of the alleged and unfortu
nate occurrence which took place at the house Of
Mrs. Patterson, q gentleman who had called and
bought some ice-cream returned again and stated
that he had lost some money in the house Mrs Pat
terson had had party of friends, both ladies and
gentlemen, by her invitation, during the early
part Of the evening who partook Of ice-cream and
strawberries with her and II was lust after these
friends had left with the exception Of Mrs. Mary
Webster, who had expressed o desire to remain
all night with Mrs. Patterson, that the gentleman
referred to, who said he had lost his money
became boisterous and threatening in his manner.
After q little while, however, the money was
was during the heated conversation that natural
ly ensued that Mrs. Webster attempted to leave
Mrs. Patterson's house, and in doing so she was
arrested BY the police Just as she quit the front
Mrs. Patterson, having missed the presence of
Mrs. Webster, went in pursuit of and &c ascertain
the pavement in the custody Of the police. Mrs.
Patterson begged Of Mrs. Webster TO come into
the house and out Of the rain when, to Mrs. Pat
terson's establishment, Mrs. Webster replied that

ment Policeman Lawler approached her and

Mrs. Webster were mercilessly carried of to the
station-house not even being permitted to get
bonnets and other necessary wearing apparel
from the house to protect them from the inclem-
ency OF the weather, as 1t was raining. Now, this
s the sum and substance Of the whole affair. Mrs.
Patterson is an injured lady, and has been the
victim Of cruel, pernicious conspiracy; but 1t is
highly gratifying, not only to herself but also to
her many friends, to know that upon o showing
before Judge Smell the plot utterly failed, and
that she was honorably acquitted on the charge
Of keeping q disorderly house, not ''bawdy
house, +" as has been erroneously advertised.

BILE and resolution:
Whereas the Washington Market Company

leniency toward the occupants Of stands during
the past year in allowing them discounts upon
their notes and rental, and in delaying the en-
forcement of rents long overdue; and whereas all
such acts Of kindness md forbearance seem to
have been treated with rudeness and contempt
by the committee assuming to speak for the deal
