Petersburg, March 2Dth, 1873. Dear Sir, In reply to your letter dated 1st inst., I beg to say. ; 1st. That I have never ha, on r.ny ac count, any acquaintance, tommunicn tion, or connection directly, ; or indirect ly with yourself; nor have ;I ever had any acquaintance or connection, directly or otherwise, with the "Midland! Char ter." ne truth is, that except so far as your letter goes,. I am not advised as to your: purposes, or as to the objects of the "Midland Charter." : i 2d. Neither have I, nor tlie interest I represent ever had, ortakenj directly, or indirectly, any concern in ;he "Trans montane, N. C, Railway CK).," or with the action of the Nurth Carolina Legis ture upon this, or upon any bjher subject. 3d. That neither with the legislation nor railway affairs of your State, have I or the interest I represent ih any form or by any agency, ever had, or under taken any part. I have not seen where tho welfare of the interest I represent, collided with any legitimate enterprise in; your State, and it has not been our policy to intrude upon the rights of other interests and the prerogatives of other people. . Tho great objects otonrJine are more definif e and more laudable. It is in the honest pursuit of a legitimate business. Its aim is the development of the great material resources within its reach, and the establishment of direct trade at Nor folk, for the benefit of the whole South and Southwest. It was founded and is guided in no purposes of speculation or of individual gain. The effort to which you refer as hav ing been made on the part of the agents and emissaries of the Southern Security Company, that cover to every fraudulent outrage upon the rights and interests of Southern people to which it conspires, by the use of foreign agents and aliases, and by home traitors, is just the course of procedure always taken by dishonest men aiming at foul purposes. These people well know that all their allega tions, suggestions or insinuations to the effect that I was, or that tlie interest I represent was, by my presence, in. North Carolina, either in connection with its Legislating or its railway matters, were wholly and absolutely fake; ; but it must be remembered that thoso are the peo ple who deal in false pretentions and by the wavF of device.

The report of the Controller only furnishes information for future legislation on he subject. My impression is that your branches have done a great and gool work; go on and do as you have done." The above declaration from the high est authority ;on the subject, is certain ly sufficient to re-assure the most doubt ing person, and to convince all that no securer Bank of deposit can be found than the Freedman's Sayings and Trust Co, Six per cent, interest, commencing on the first of each month; payment of all deposits on demand; and security equal to the best that can be had, must secure in the future as in the past the success and prosperity of this beneficent institution.

The gold watch and pocket-book of the dead man were mis sing. The New . York Times theorizing oh the crime tells the rest of the story. THEORIES OF THE CRIME. The first theory started by the police was that a gang of burglars had entered the house by the rear basement window, and that the pane of glass Was broken bv the robbers. This theory is dissi- V pated, however, by the fact that Mr. Snedeker, a carpenter who did work in the house, says he broke the pane. As to the suicide theory, the following facts stand against it: The balls enter ing on different sides of the head, the watch and chain having been taken, and the fact that the face had been washed after death. Now for the facts tending to show that Mr. Goodrich was mur dered, and that his discarded mistress is suspected: While living in New York, Mr. t Goodrich received a large number of letters by mail. Two of his corres pondents were evidently ladies, by the character of the hand writing. One wrote seldom,, and herletters were post marked Albany; but ' the other, whose correspondence was first noticed in 1871, wrote frequently, especially in the spring and summer of 1872. Her letters weip enclosed in small, oblong envelopes, of a rose-color, and were invariably- ad dressed, "ITR. CHARLIE aOOnEICH." About the time Mr. Goodrich began ab senting himself from his Neiv York boarding-house and stopping for several days together in Brooklyn the my'steriov3 wo man appeared. She was first seen one evening in early summer -, by a profes sional gentleman residing near the block of houses in Degraw street. On this oc casion she was sitting on the stoop by the side of Mr. Goodrib, and frequent ly thereafter, during the summer, thefj . T 1 two were seen togetlier in a similar po sition. With the advent of autumn' these occurrences ceased, and the wo man was seen very seldom, and then at unreasonable early hours of the morning. Certain of the neighbors are positive of having seen her come out of the basement door more than once du ring the present month. She is de HPfibpd fia bp'nrr n, rnlf rmod-lookin cr . . , A " i xu ' . f r - - J . , ' ' ix' i Tri ibti tiiiriiit : u urj .1 .1 t t- . f M 111 TIIIH f -v P Arliiiivi TU ii .-vl-k o in f i'n in 1 m ln ? ,,1 " " " ly wore a water-proof cloak and green veil. THERE IS 10YV NO DOUBT but that at the time when this woman was seen sitting on the stoop, she was living in the basement of a vacant house in the block, two houses from the one in which Mr. Goodrich was murdered. This basement is smoke-colored from a coal fire having been burned in it, and a piece of an old chignon, doubtless be longing to the woman, was in a corner near the grate. At this point it is only proper to intro duce in the recital another 'womari : whose identity is as mysterious as that of her predecessor, although there is nothing to show that her relations imth the deceased re f amJ out an honorable character. va UUV tms nouse, ana ine observations oi tnose wno saw ner were limited to remarking the color of her hair, which was. blonde, and profuse- ly curled. It is believed by those in a position to know, that she was engaged I. . ... OO, to be married to Mn Goodrich, and as .oon as the letters found in the desk of the latter are opened to the world, this well-grounded impression will probably receive full confirmation. Of course, the entering into such an engagement would necessitate the discarding of associations of a disreputable character, and in proof of the fact that the later associations of the deceased with the unknown woman were not of the MOST HARMONIOUS CHARACTER, concerning the sound of a great scuffle being beard in the house, one night in February last, mingled with the voice of a woman crying out for aid and mer cy, it is understood that this second lady is known, and that she will be pro- uuceu oy ine ponce ac tne inquest.

Of these facts, it is not difficult to imagine her pleading for her: self and tho memory, of her child, her appeal iui uccviiipiisy it iegai mar riage, his refusal, then her demands for money. It is also easy to imagine ;the refusal of Goodrich to comply wiih'her demands, then- the; wild anger of a wronged and slighted wefman, the snatched-np pistol the tiring of the shots, and Goodrich's full to the floor Then the consciousness of her act, the return, of tho lingering love she-bore him, her hope ttliat he might have life left, the procuring of the towel with which she wiped.the blood from his face the discovery that he was dead, the wo man's horror, .fear, and flight by the front hall door, .which she closed behind her, leaving the hjouse all fastened, as it ward.
