WILLIAM AND MARY COLLEGE.
rI7rou, the Richmond Wal Enauirer, April 81

urom the Richmond (va.) Enquirer, April 81 II -
The williamsburg - Gazette publishes the following
as the plan of the College building which has been
selected by the building committee: sss
THE old walls will be retained, but the exterior and
interior of the structure viii differ from those of the
old The cdicc rather the renewed ediRce will
present front of one hundred and thirty six feet which
will be relieved by two towers of the Italian style of
architecture. One of these towers will contain the Col
lege BELL the other will be used observatory, The
two views will present each front of hundred
freet The altitude of the new building will BIO much
greater than that of the old building There will be
dormitoes in the College, tho faculty having recently
purchased house which affords ample accommodations
for students Tho interior of the College ece will be
convenient There win be six large lecture rooms each
opening into Office for professor, and laboratory
which will present all the modern improvements There
win be spacious for the library and two splendid
society halls The old chapel will be but little altered
Fortunate indeed is il that there will be necessity
for disturbing the remains of the illustous dead that
pose within those venerated walls and Fortunate indeed
it chat the flames did not far impair the strength OF
any of the outside walls to render them unfit for use
hence the identity of the old building will be preserved
and thus not single halowcd association Of the past
lost old William and Mary The effect of tho fire will
be only make the appliances of the College adequate

MENT AGAIN .#


MENT AGAIN.
In every community men arc found who i've and
speculate upon the necessities and fears Of thei fell
lows And the stronger these fears and the greater
these necessities, the larger the demands they
make Of their unfortunate victims To increase their
gains, these "Shylocks" themselves SOW the seeds
Of disrust and create the apprehensions upon which
they operate and from which their profits are de-
rived. To expose such characters, and to guard an
unsuspicious community against them, is common
duty, and he who performs it must be regarded as a
public benefactor. --~
We are induced to make these suggestions by the
very remarkable course pursued by the correspond
ent Of the Pennsylvania Inquirer in respect to the
Post Office Department He asserted roundIy some
time since that the contractors for carrying the
mails could not raise the funds to carry on the mail
service. He insists, however, that he is correct,
nevertheless asserting that the contractors have
nothing than claim against the United States
About this we shall not waste words, but merely re-
mark that if is the fact the contractors perform
service for which the Postmaster General is author
lied by law TO contract, the government is in law
bound to pay them for it, If this does not constitute
indebtedness, what in the name of common sense
does AS to the legal obligation of the government
to pay interest on these debts, until satisfied, we
would say that we have never admitted it, the cor
respondents assertion to the contrary notwith-
standing. That there will be a strong eauita-
bic claim for payment of interest we are free
to confess, being required to execute their con-
tracts by assignment or transfer of their ac-
counts against the government This position was so
boldly assumed. and by one, too, presumed to know
better that it we'll calculated to create dstrust

circumstances, we deemed it our duty, on the I'd

for the last six years, which is direct contradiction
