The Ladies’ Aid of Philadelphia is again
obliged to appeal to its friends, and the
friends of humanity, for assistance, in car
rying on its labor of love among the suf
ferers by the wicked rebellion, from which

which has rendered houseless and destitute
so many of our fellow-oitizens, both white

tberr clothes are washed at night and the
next day the children' come in dean, though
very often in damp clothing. Many
have home-made shoes of thick doth,
or carpet, but one hundred and fifty have ho
shoes at all. The weather is .quite, cold, yet
it does not keep the children from school—
they come shivering and bine with the cola.
They are anxious to learn; and improve
very fast. A majority of them have severe
colds and coughs;.many have been eiok, and

The Washington Honnmeßt at Bfchmoad
Governor Peirpoint has sent to the Vir
ginia Legislature file following letter from
Randolph Rogers, the sculptor, who had
contracted; before the rebellion, with the
State of Virginia, to finish Crawford’s mo
nument to’ Washington at Richmond:
■ Nov. 10,1865. — To his Excellency,
Peirpoint, Governor of-the Stale of
Virginia : Sib—Alter a.lapse of more than
fiveyears,! againtahe up my pen to write
to the Governor of "Virginia on the subject
of the Washington monument; the comple
tion of which; after the death of Mr. Craw
ford, was intrusted to me, and
entered into between the State of Virginia
and mvselC I.now write for thepurpose of
stating the position of the case and the con
dition of the work. My last letter to
the commissioners, before the war was da
ted March 7th, 1861. 1 then stated that X
had just received a letter from Miller, the
bronze founder at Munich, stating that the
statue of Marshall had been "completed in
bronze, and would be forwarded to Rotter
dam without delay, and that Nelson was
nearly finished, and that IJewia would be
ready for shipping before the Ist of July;
also, that two of theallegorical statues,with
military trophies, had. been for several
“onths in the hands of the bronze founders
and I believe they were very well advanced.
I can bow say that the statue of Marshall
was forwarded to Rotterdam, as above
stated, and upon which I have all this time
Pfiyine neavy storage and insurance.
, At the time the statue arrived in Rotter
dam the aspect of political matters was so
threatening that I was advised not to send
it forward, for fear of seizure and oonfisea
tlon. The statues of kelson and Lewis have
been finished and packed ready for ship
ping ever since the summer of 1861. Upon
the balance due upon which, and one of the
allegorical figures and trophies finished and
another advanced, I am expected to pay in
terest since that time; My contract with the
State of Virginia is in substance as follows:
For casting in bronze the statue of
Mason after the plaster model
by Crawford, - - - - $l 5OO 00
For casting in bronze the statue of ’
Marshall. - - _

Keceived from State of Virginia, §22,399 95
Balance due, < - - - - §38,100 05
. The above statement Bhows a balance
in my favor on the completion of the mon
ument of $38,100 05. Works completed,
shipped and delivered, and works whioh
would have been delivered in RinhmnnA
according to contract, had I not been pre
vented from so doing by commencement of
hostilities—
Amonnt - - - _ . §32,000 00
Cash received - - - - 22,399 98
“On the 12 th September I was in
debt just about the above amount, includ
pg balance due on bronze casting, storage,
insurance and interest, on the amount due
him. I have since paid him £319, leaving a
balance due him of about 8,000 gold dol
i&lSt
* On the payment of the £319, Miller al
allowed me to send forward the statue of
Marshall, whioh has been lying so long at
Rotterdam, and would be willing to send
forward the others could I fix upon a certain
time when he conld receive the balance.
“ I do not ask the State of Virginia to pay
anything more until the works are received
in Richmond, as per oontract, but I must
know pat the money will be forthcoming
when the works are delivered, otherwise, I
shall make a bad figure with my creditors.
Ttehail be greatly obliged if your Excellency
will give a little attention to this matter.

, The firm of Biker, & Co., mining stock
brokers at No. 80 Broadway, is well known
to the business community of Wall street
and.vioinity as one of the largest establish
ments in the business. For the last few
months they have employed as confidential
clerk and head book-keeper a young man
named Charles Cady, who, as his references
were first-class,.and his antecedents beyond
reproach, was trusted to the fullest extent
by the firm. Indeed, so' great was the
confidence with which he was- fhvored,
that he was intrusted with the only key to
the fire-proof safe in which; all the-funds.
certificates of stock, <fcc„ belonging to the
bouse, were deposited. Oaths afternoon of
Wednesday, the 28th of November, he went
to the principal of the firm, and represent
mg that be felt very much fatigued from
the excessive labors of his office of late, said
that he would like to go away a little earlier
than usual that day; more than that, he
was going to be married in the evening to a
young lady who resided at New Brunswick,
N. J. He very much desired the favor of
being'allowed to leave thus early: in order
that he might arrive at his Intended
bnde’B house in good season: and further,
he requested to be allowed leave of ab
seoce until the Friday afternoon follow
ing, when he would return at an early hour
and resume his. duties. To this very modest
request, under the circumstances, Mr.Kiker
readily assented, and Cady left instanter.
taking care first to lock the safe and put the
key In his pocket. This was not discovered,
however, until after he had gone and. ofr
course, was chargeable:in the minds oThls
employers to the very naturalforgetfulness
likely to attend one under a oca peculiar
circumstances—he was in such&hurrv to
get to the cars in time, they thoughfcthat he
had forgotten in his haste to leave the key.
Thanksgiving Day had passed, and Friday
(»me, and as the concern was pressed for
the detivery of certfficates of stock,, which
were Becurely locked np In the sate, they
began to watch anxionaly for the
book-keeper’s return, meantime beatinz
thehr customers to have a little patience--
saying. that Mr. Cady had always been
prompt and faithful; that he had promised
to return at an early hour,and would snrelv
not delay, especially when hediscovered
the predicament in which his forge trainees
had placed his employers. The afternoon,
however, had passed away and still Mr
Cady was not heard from. Perhaps he had
missed the train, or, becoming a little
elated, had perhaps indulged too freely at
the wedding feast, and not having yet fallv
recovered from the effects of his “spree ”
he had determined to remain over nigfit
and return to the city next mornihg.
thought, he would be at
his desk the next day. Saturday rolled
around, and still the book-keepers
place was vacant A horrid suspicion then
began to show itself in the minds of the
members of toe firm. Perhaps, after all,
what they had supposed to have been for
getfulness might have been the work of de
sign. At any rate, the suspense was un
bearable, and they resolved to know the
worst of the matter. They accordingly sent
for a skillful blacksmith, who, after almost
herculean efforts succeeded finally in open
rng the safe, wheD.lo! it was discovered
that not less than $lOO,OOO, and perhaps a
greater amount, represented by certificates
of gold mining shares In first-class compa
nies, had been abstracted from the safe, This
fact ascertained thenext question to be solved
waa u Where was Cady? Detective Offi
cer Philip Earley was sent forand informed
of the circumstances of the case, when he

answer in the negative, with the further
explanation that “he roomed with the

Both oleared on the same day, both were
detained 33 days in the North Sea by heavy
weather, both were eighty days on the
ocean, and arrived here within a few hours
of each other. The most of these immigrants
went up the river to the West. It is a pity
these men could not have been induced to
remain in the South.

J Mysterious Murders In Havana.
A letter from Havana says:
community has been astounded this
°3 aoc °unt of the mysterious murder
■ 9 nr wealthiest merchants, whose
body was found floating in the bay on Mon
| Mr. FranciscoYila^ofMea-
: tre,the deceased, left his home on Monday
a S a 2° Qt 5 o’clock,, to taue the
tlal ? for Matanzaa by way of Regia
He was m eompany with a friend, and
n?i l iTi Pped ! !,° Bet & e J r ODI ‘be ferry-boat on
the Havana side. The friend felt chilly and
went in the cabin. On reaching the other
that r l6 !, 1 5 la ? ed -Mr* Vila, but supposea
that he had already stepped on shore, and
wjthemt paying any farther attention stepped
into the ears and was astonished not to see
him on board. On arrival of the next train
went to the depot, supposing
Perhaps forgotten some
thmg, and would arrive by that train. The
gentleman returned the same evening to
Havana, and immediately went to the ware
house of Mr. Vila to ask why he had re
mained behind, and was thunderatrnok
when they informed him that his body had
just been found floating in the bay, having
the pockets rifled of his watch, chain anc
money. If this had happened in New
2?. an y, other large city in the
United States the Detective Police would
soon work this matter up, but as vre have
no such efficient institution here, and as
P?bce officers,with very few exceptions,
5 1110 bri Bbtest, the matter will un
donbtediy remain a mystery forever. If
the Government would organizes good De
tective Police and use them strictly for
criminal raises, the city would be greatly
benefited by it. Heretofore, the Secret Po
bas been used only for political objects,
and have been little better than a company
of spies. Another man, who looked like an
American, was also found dead in the bay
in front of the Cortina de Valdes, but has
not been identified as yet.
Mr* Jos -grazer, English Engineer, in the
employ of Mr. W. H. Ross, was engaged in '
putting np some machinery on the Lugar- !
dita plantation, near Sierra Morena, when
he became unfortunately involved in a diffi- ;
ciflty with the gardener on the plantation,
who stabbed him with a knife, Mr. Frazer
eying almost instantly. Such occurrences
have become very common, and the killing
of foreigners by the lower classes of Span
iards is not considered by them as a great
crime, and they are only heretics. 6
r POLITICAL.
Southern View on the Intentions op
Washington correspondent
of ffie Charleston(S. C.) Courier Bays; The
Radical members of Congress wiil hold
their preliminary meeting at the Capitol
this evening. The object is to make some
rea P oCtin g 0»e grand caucus
to be held to-morrow night But the more
earnest, and zealous and extreme members
will probably give shape to the movement
Party The motive power
the vitality of the party—is in a dozeA ex
treme men*
It is now well understood that the Radi
cals have nbwidoned the plan- of impeach
ing tiie President at present They would
not impeach him unless certain That im
peachment would be speedily followed by
his removal, and they are not prepared for
his removal, because they cannot agree noon
hissucoessor. Besides, they say that'the
public voice is .not up to thia measure.
Again they urge that Johnson is of nse to
wbere be is,and cannot be spared. He
will be necessary to their success, they urge
at the next Presidential election. Through
him, chiefly, as they admit they carried toe
lall elections for Congress, his tour being
worth to them a hundred thousand votes at
JeasL However, they mean to embarrass
and cripple him to the use of the Executive
power as much as possible.
The nomination of persons to office, who
were appointed during the recess, will be
rejected,except in cases wbere vacancies
existed. The President may not send in
their nominations till toward toe close of the
session, after their rejection. The Presi
dent may support them. To prevent this
they propose to provide by law, that the
officers so serving shall receive no pay.
They also propose to pass a law, if they
can, disqualifying snch officers from hold
ing any Federal office hereafter.
Personal.
Mr, N. P. Willis’s health is somewhat
better. A letter dated at Idlewild, Dac. 4.
says: “ Mr. Willis passed a comfortable
night, and is feeling mnch better to-day.”
The report published in two of our dailv
papers that “Mr. Willis had a stroke of
paralysis on Saturday last,” is not founded
on fact. It is true, however, that he is fail
ing fast and losing strength. He has been
an invalid for many years, aud has written
but little for a year or two, JChe Home
Journal being in charge of Mr. Morris
Phillips.
The Louisville Jbumaijhas been published
for thirty-six years, and the Boston Post for
thirty-four years; and it is said the editors
who controlled their columns at the begin
ning occupy the same positions now.
