A Communication was received from Mr.. Vic
tor Sere. president Of the Conference Of st.
Angustin and treasurer of the 81, Marye Or
phnn Asylum claiming tho bounty Of the Pea
bodys. and charging them with Inconsistency,
by issuing ratl ons to other orghni2a ions after
they had concluded to restrict their issues to
the reuui-iti of the Towards and Young
Mems Christian Association,
Several membArs spoke IN answer to the com
munication. explaining that the charge of in
consistency was untounded. That no asylum
or other organization had been, supplied ftom
the Peabodys' provisions SINCE the adoption of
the resolution on Saturday night last
The discussion resulted once again In the
conclusion that the provisions and III .neys sent
here were unmistakab'y for the relief OF the
destitute made so in consequences Of the pre-
VIZ ling fever and for no her purpose, ana
that tho purpos es of the donors should be
strictly adho ed to. That whilst every member
Of tho Hssoci alton must and does sYmpat hze
with the suffering humanity in tho asylums
and with Industrious men rendered destitufe
owing to the want of work. 1t was nevertheless
q palpable fact that the Pc bodys could not
possibly feed ali who are suffering; the task
was far beyond their abilities, and hence 1t
would be folly on their tart to attompt T..
mittee, presented d report. in the shape OF
letter In answer to the communication Of the
colored union called the Mutual Benevolent
Relief Association In which the COMMITTEES re-
flutes all the insinuations made in the com rnu
nicaton of the colurnd n~Rociation. and says
TINT whilst the Christ Church Association. the
Police Association. the st. Vinceuts Orphan
Asylum. and other similar worthy institutions
have boon shut out from the bpubties of the
peabodys, there Is no reason why the Mutual
Benevolent Association" should be excepted:
ored associations thus far indicated that
rntions had been issued to its destitute even in
greater proportion than those Of o'her associa-
tons That. like all other charitable organiza-
ton the colored association could obtain relief
In case of sickness through the Hownr3s and
Young Mems Christian Association.
Both communications will be published OFF,
cialy tomorrow morning.
