Too Thin.

The letter Of J. u. SEBRELL, president
Of the Virginia Coalition Association, try
ing TO explain away the circular which the
Washington Star published last week,
comes very tate and is not at all satlsfac-
tory. He SAYS the circular has been "per-
yer,cd and altered" but, strangely enough,
he does not furnish copy corrected, nor
tell wherein the pervcrsions consisted.
.. He says the true circular was "prc-
pared - nearly year ago when there was
no civil-servicc-reiorm law. Yes, "pre-
parod"; but it was again used the other
day, no doubt, and in its modified or
"peryerted form.
8. He says that members are to be cx-
PEELED from the club, not turned out OF
office. II the latter punishment is not to
follow, the former will be grateful TO the
feelings Of the poor clerks.
4. He denounces the fellow who let out
the sccre; as an impecunious, refractory,
or traitor0us member" That language tells
whether the circular was genuine or not.
Such language WOuld not nave Decn appnCd
to the author or circulitor OF paper for
which neither MALONE nor SEBRELL was
responsible.
3. 1--WE have" he says, broken no
law, and court the fullest investigation"
More proof that the circular was genuine.
G. He declares that "they" DEZENDoRF
and BARBOUR, we suppose "haye no more
to do with Us (oi the club than with the
Light Infantry, Knights Of Pythias, or any
other society,"" Another proof. But, pray,
Mr. SEBGEIL. what is the civil-seryce law
worth II clerks can be compelled to join
" Virginia associations and then in this
new character be compelled to contribute
money 10 General MAHoNE's campaign
fund?
