Home llleli Developments of Petty Pilfering. For a long time past a gentleman well known in this city a man of means, of culture, of retl'nement has been In the hubit of pilfering various small articles from one of the lamest and best-patronized f onr wholesale and retail grocery stores. The Arm, though fullv aware of the thefts, bore with them, hardly knowing what course, under the cir cnmstances.to pursue. At length, however, patience at an end, they brought the matter to a culmination en Saturday last by having the gentlemanly thief .arrested in' the street. He was conducted back to the store, and there compelled to disgorge the arti cles he hud but a few minutes previously stolen. These consisted of a box of cigars and divers other trivial things such as lie had been accustomed to take. He then offered to pay a sum of money equivalent to the value of the articles he had slo'leii for two years past, on condition of being let up softly. The irm accepted his proposition, when he paid lauo. The matter is now amicably settled, and all parties tatislied. The kleptomaniac is a member of a large and cele brated political organization in this city, besides lacing connected with several societies. Through the influence of certain well-known politicians, his fast triends. he lately received an appointment from Pre sident Grant, as Consul to one of the European ports. Jt is understood that since the disclosure of his 'peculiarity," his appointment will be withdrawn, aud his resignation sent iu to the organizations or which he is a member. Such things will happen fconiutimcs. Robberies. At an early hour yesterday morning the vinegar establishment at No. 4f5 North Twelfth atrect was fouud open by a policeman, Mho entered the place and found it had lx.-eu ransacked. The proprietor was notitled. when it was ascertained that a lot of clothing, Kevenue stamps to the amount or 10, and about fi in cash had been taken. It is sup posed that the thief must have been in the establish ment when it was closed on Saturday night. Between 1 o'clock and daylight this morning the igar shop on the corner of Diamond and Perry streets, In the Nineteenth ward, was entered by means of the back door and robbed of pipes, cigars, and tobacco to the value or 1100. Some time during last night thieves broke Into the dwelling occupied by Mrs. James, at Koxlsirough, and succeeded In getting away with a few trifling articles. CONVFNTIOH OK THK FKIKNltft OK PEACE.

I can only say that I am perfectly content to await the "delay"' simply whletvwas resolved on. It may be wise as to action, but is dangerous as to tho work of preparation, or this, however, your authori ties are the proper Judges. As to the points in my Orst letter touching the ef fectsof the abolition of slavery on the relations or the two branches or the Methodist Episcopal Church, I can only say that my convictions are strong, and ir I clearly expressed them to you I have no sort, ot ob jection to their publication. My letter's main sul-Ject-matter called forth Incidentally an expression on these points, but not fully enough, perhaps, to be understood In a clear light. What I said, exactly, In that letter, I don't remember, but. I know what I meant to sav, and should have said, and have no hesitation now In repeating mytrue meaning. The long agitation of the question of slavery, its history before the war, and the war Itself, convinced me that an exodus rrom AMean bondage was obliged to be by the almighty hand or Providence. God knew what poor Unite minds North and South did not roresce that nothing short or fire and sword, or war and its blood and violence, could emancipate negro slaves on this continent, In a country governed as the I'nited States, in the form of constitutional republics bound together by a con stitutional union. By no steps in normal times could Congress ever have abolished slavery; and the States would never have commenced emancipation by peaceful means, gradual or otherwise, for reasons which it would be Irritating now to state. It Is suf ficient to sav that too manv in the South rought ror nothing but the right of property in slaves ; and it is time that the North was informed that by rar the most respectable portion ot the Southern people rought ror something rar more precious than the legal privilege or being the masters or slaves. They fought for the more glorious privilege of seir-gov-ernment. They were willing to emancipate slaves in their own time and own way, but were not willing to allow Congress to regulate their domestic govern ment and concerns for them either as to slavery or anything else. Thus there were double restraints against emancipation which could not be removed in time to prevent cither dissolution of the Union or civil war. The war was a national necessity, per mitted by Divine Providence to prevent (in ttm und, I hope) greater evils than the war itself. And I mark this view of the case as essential to guide all good Christians and patriots iu their endea vorsfnow to case a most glorious country, still suffer ing from the awful conflict, and in the greatest dan ger of losing civil liberty for ull races In the struggle to emancipate one race. The view I have taken Is a heJioeentrie one. It strives to reach God's throne, and to look thence out upon the ways and the end. That He ordered and directed and forced the result of emancipation of slaves in America, knowing that there was no other way to bring It about, and at the same time save all that Is precious, I have not the least doubt. Ami I feel that he who resists, or in any unreasonable way obstructs, the legitimate con sequences of this special providence, "kicks against the pricks." This brings up the question: What should be regarded as the legitimate conse quences? My answer Is wars. The old strifes must cease and be hushed. Next, charity, toleration, bro therly and patriotic kindness. It' is not for me to tipraid you or you me for the offenses and injuries or the war. Slavery was its cause, was our weakness if not our wickedness, and God has purged out its sin end satanic influence by tire and blood. Hi tire and blood, ror the war was His ir the sin was mine. But woe unto those, on either side, who shall cause the tires to burn and the blood to heat arter the sin and causes or woes have been burned to ashes. We must not keep the tires ignited the ashes must be allowed to cool, and then, as rrom battle-fields, the green herbage may be made to grow more luxuriant than ever; so good rruit may be made to spring even from the cinders and ashe's of this hor rid war. No man, or set of men, must dare to take any bolts of vengeance in their hands. God orten used the heathen to punish His own chosen people; but it they dared to do even His will In a heathenish and unchristian way, Jehovah never railed to make them, too, reel His wrath. Let the North remember that, and that il the war was Providential, then we all were but mere instruments or the Divine Govern ment, and should not attempt to play petty provi dences in the place ot God. ir we do we will curse ourselves and our country we will soon become petty tyrants. uumea uy a catnouc spirit like mis, ami loosing to God all the time, in every act aud plan, we will prevent tne wnite man irom Demg enslaved by the causes which made the black man tree ; we will pre vent the continuance or the causes which separated the Methodist Church as the precursors or the at tempted separation ot tne wnole country ; and we will cause the whole country to be stronger, and safer, and freer than It ever was or could be before. I have written enough, and you are welcome to weave these views into those of my first letter and print them together. 1 nave examined your pamphlets, and thank you for them. ery truly and respectrully yours, Henry A.

A charge that "Mr. Hale has no sympathy with the revolution, ami Is openly hostile to the republican movement,'' having been made bv the London correspondent of the N. Y. Tribune, seems to demand from ilio a per sonal reply. I do not know that I act wisely In taking any public notice of this attack, so art fully and maliciously made upon me by this writer. I am not iirnorant of the real author of this calumny. The statement as to whom the real work of tne Legation is none ny leaves no aomt on that head. I shall not detain myself with the many assertions and inuendoes derogatory to mychiirarter with which this article is tilled, but come directly to the main charge, which is, "that Mr. Hale has no sympathy with the revolution," etc. All the other allegations seem to be subsidiary and auxiliary to this, the main clianre of the article. Perhaps I ouirtit to feel gratlllcd that the ingenious malignity of the author of this laise ana outrageous charge lias nothing to allege against my Integrity, or, indeed, any part of my oltlcial conduct, save that my faculties are much impaired, aud I am openly hostile to the Republican movement. If It be evidence of impaired faculties that I did not detect in an individual whom I admitted as a guest in my family aud at my table, a disguised foe, who listened to the unrestrained conversation of the family circle to which he was admitted for the time as a member, to be retailed afterwards in the public press, for the purpose of in juring him of whose hospitalliv he was partaking, I pieau guuiy to me euarge. niuioui. iiinuer com ment, I leave to the judgment of the public the con duct of such a man. I come now to the allegation made against me by this correspondent, which is that I am openly hostile to the Republican movement. A brief notice of the events occurring about the time of the commence ment of the revolution, the lutter part of Heptember aud first of October last, shall be my only answer to that. On the fourth of October lost, fully believing that, notwithstanding the many abortive attempts at revolution which had hitherto been made in Spain, a new and important era had commenced in Spanish history, I sent a telegram to Mr. Seward, asking for Instructions to recognize the new government. On the following day he sent me a cautious reply, authorizing me, on certain conditions therein set forth, to give the new government a qualified recog nition. I, acting upon the authority thus given me, at my suggestion and request, unequivocally, in the name of the United States, gave to the provisional government a full and entire recognition, and while the other governments of the world were looking with astonishment at events of such startling mo ment, so rapidly occurring in Spain, the United States was for a time the only power that recognized the existing government of the nation, and the only one which had an acknowledged representative here. The Spanish Government aud people, I know, were highly gratlUed by this early movement of the United StateB, and sensible ofthe Immense advantages this prompt and decisive recognition on their part had given them. I have in my possession facts fully an swering all the allegations of this article, which may hereafter be made public. Respectfully yours. Madrid, March 81, ise. John P. Halk.
