Thu Mount Vernon Estate.

We are not among those who desire to
see the Mount Vernon estate pass out of
the possession of the Washington family
though, we confess, that with the eycep-
ton of George Washington himself, no
other member of it has given evidence of
the possession Of character or talents
making their mark on the history of the
times in which they have lived.
The idea of parting with Mount Yer
non for money, is strange one to be en-
tertained by the descendants of Wash
ington's relatives, it seems to MS, unless
they are exceedingly poor; as they are
not, if we are not greatly mistaken.
Indeed, throughout Virginia, from tide
water to the Alleghanies, the impression
prevails that tie present gentlemanly
proprietor Of Mount Vernon still retains
sufficient of the original vast estate of
George Washington scattered over Hir-
ginia, to render him certainly very indie
pendent in his circumstances This being
the case, we trust that he may not meet
with customer for the bones and hal
lowed home of the Father of his Country,
either in the General Government, the
State of Virginia, or in any set of specu-
lators willing to give ton times what the
orl-a ~ Of L
failed to hold George Washington bones
and to be so Immediately connected with
his name and fame.
We presume that either estate Joining
Mount Vernon, of equal extent, NAV be
purchased at any moment for $50. 900
cash down. From 100000 to $500. 600
is asked for this estate. Does not this
difference in price look like specializing
in George Washington's bones, and in his
reputation? We have taken up the i'm.
preston that the appeals appearing in
various newspapers urging the purchase
of this property at huge price, under
this or that pretence, do not meet the APP
probation of its proprietor and that
whenever it shall he seriously proposed
to him or any remaining member Of the
Washington kith to part with the estate
so long as it can be kept in the family,
the persons anxious to buy it on specula-
ton, will meet merited rebuke.

Baltimore Correspondence.
BALTIMORE, August II. 1870 r

BALTIMORE, August II, $3.50 r. NJ.
1 would direct attention, briefly, to an en-
terprise, in which the citizens of Baltimore,
Washington, and other parts of the country,
may feel some interest. The beautiful and
eligibly located country seat, with handsome
mansion and other improvements containing
one hundred and fifty acres of land, situate
near the Relay House, and formerly owned by
Doctor Dorsey, has been purchased by our
well-known and enterprising fellow-towns-
man, James Ii. Luckett, Esq The present de-
sign of the proprietor is to convert this pro-
psrty into beautiful rural village, or coun-
try retreat for summer residences. He con-
templates having it regularly laid of, in
handsome appropriate squares, or lots, which
shall be disposed of to those who will improve
thereon, by erecting neat cottages and dwell
ings. A charter for this purpose has already
been obtained, and survey of the premises is
about being made. know Of no location,
anywhere in Maryland, so we'll calculated, in
all respects, for such purpose. The proper
ty is bounded on one side by the Patapseo
river and the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad,
and on the other by deep, wild ravine. That

England at her Old Tricks.

The path of England's diplomacy has
always been very devious one. She
never has been without her pretext, on
which to base her extraordinary demands:
frequently standing ready to enforce in
India, or elsewhere in the East, assumed
rights under constructions Of law or
treaty, against which her naval arma-
ments stand eager to contend, at the same
moment, in South America or some other
quarter of the globe. Her attitude, upon
the fisheries dispute with the United
States, affords us a fair illustration of
what we mean. Thus, she has long been
in hot-waier, as it were, with France,
relative to the fisheries upon their respec-
tive coasts of the British channel. The
interests Of her home fishermen, and those
they supply with food. have compelled
her to contend, with great earnestness,
that obligations of comfy, on the part of
France, lay the latter under obligations to
concede the right of English fishermen to
take fish within the limits of marine
league from the channel shores of France.
These obligations of comfy are, in other
words, the laws of nations. France has
conceded this point to her. She (Great
Brittany has further contended that the
laws Of nations exclude her fishermen
only from the small inlets and harbors of
the French characteristics, of less than
two leagues extent at their opening head
lands.
In the matter Of her current dispute
with US, she contends for very different
law of ati,ns-for law which, under
the circumstances. we take it, she will
not be permitted to 'run upon" lis in the
settlement of the question. She will, in
the end, probably, be compelled to admit,
for the bay of Chaleur, the law of ma
tons, on which she insists for the British
channel. 1t strikes us, that ere this dis
pute closes, our fishermen will find that
they are not TO be excluded under any
Such Neutrality-suspicious., from CATCH
ing cod and mackerel in the bay of Cha
leur, which is VIGOROUSLY more than fiji
teen miles across, from headland to head
land.

Spirit Of the Morning Press.

The Republic discourses upon the con-
slant filings of many papers at distance
at the Washington press on account of
its alleged subserviency and it's want Of
enterprise. Every word said by our
neighbor upon this subject is true. bar
ring his effort to insinuate the Star into
party journal. Presses which dare
not call their souls their own, when by so
doing there is chance that they NAV
offend the devotees of some ism or interest
ruling in their immediate vicinity, grow
eloquent when writing of the propensity
of the Washington newspapers to wink
at the wrongs alleged to be perpetrated
in this question. The Republic exposes
their hypocrisy as it should be exposed.
The Union discusses the identity be-
tween Nativeism and Abolitionism, show
ing them to be fruit from the same tree.
The same paper describes the valley of
the Danube, now possessing extraordinary
interest, from the fact that it is likely to
be the seat of the war which must take
place sooner or later between Russia and
Turkey.
The hteliigencer's leader is upon the
Russo-Turkish question. The editor ex-
plains, with convincing clearness. that Rus
STA has CARR, d her every point, and already
holds position in the Principalities which
will enable her to secure all she demands
of Turkey against all the power of all
the allies the latter may obtain the world
over. The Htelligcncer also presents it's
readers with very interesting letter
from its Paris correspondent upon mat
tiers, personal, political, literary and
scientific, in the French empire.
The Sun explains how and why it is
that political disputations are carried on
with virulent vehemence in this country,
though all of its inhabitants may be said
to be of one mind as regards the proper
general character of our Government.
The Clippers editor congratulates HIM
self upon q the Sabbath-like repose" al
ways surrounding his editorial armchair,
arising from the happy condition of his
conscience, which, he seems to intimate,
is the result Of his papers unvaryine pur-
suit of the right at all times under all
| circumstances, and in connection with all
subjects which that journal has had oc-
| casion to approach.

The long expected excursion Of Potomac

be remembered by those who were fortunate
enough to partake of its enjoyment. The
steamer and its courteous commander did their
whole duty. The music was excellent, and
even the weather which seemed to he out of
sorts, for it frowned occasionally upon them
was forced at length to give way to the uni
versal merriment, and smile through the
clouds. But the merry groups within the mag
niicent saloon thought little of the gloom
without, and JOY was unconfnea. AT a sea-
sonable hour they returned, and if smiling
faces are indications of gratitude, Potomac
Lodge was blessed with its overflow.

The recent session of the Executive
Committee of the Young Democracy" of
New York, was rich affair. This COM
! mittee are for the most part, a set of loaf
ing, pot-house politicians-men who pull
the wires in the way of buying and SELL
ing nominationsandl local elections. They
appointed or elected themselves to be a
supernumerary Notwithstanding Or
ganization in the Democratic party, at the
last State convention of the 60 Young De-
mocracy" Of New York. They are the
little pigs who expect hereafter to grow
strong enough to root off those who are

mothers son of them attending the meet
ing above referred to and taking a prom
inent part in its grand fuss generally, has
been seeker after office, State or national,
of late; and all of them have been disap-
pointed. So, they meet at Albany to
squeal in chorus. There, D. B. Taylor,
who was the most uproarious "soft" to be
