A KLEPTOMANIAC.
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'peculiarity," his appointment will be withdrawn,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.

KiniMOND, Va., March 81, 1869. Rev. James
Mitchell: Dear Sir In reply to yours of the 2Hth
lust. 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. Wisb.

HALE.
Onr Minister to Spnin Speaks for U'iiiinc If.
To the Editor of the N. Y. Tribune: Sir. 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.
