WE have always been expecting to
see the Richmond papers say something
In regard to the statue of Washington,
brought here last July year ago from
Lexington, at the time of the famous
Hunter raid. We are only surprised
that they have been silent SO long. 1T
would seem that the Whereabouts of
the classic bronze is not generally
known in Richmond-at least not to
the editors of the Enquirer. We clip
the following remarks from that paper
in reference to the subject:
The -re-estnblishInent of the Institute
Mt Lexington will be an event of much
Importance to the educational interests
OF NtTglnia. At first, mere country
school, cabin in shape and size, the
progress OF few years witnessed Its
growth into n stately structure, and the
fostering care of the State secured for
II nj length a rank among institutions
OF learning, which rendered it at once
AN ornament aud an object of popular
PRIDE. by the lnisfoTtunes of war 1t
was reduced To ashes, ind not only was
its material nttractiveness thus remov-
ed from the sight of our citizens, but
the tnvorite symbol of its moral and
military glory, it's statue of George
Washington, WIS carried away, and Is
now, no doubt, hidden among the accu-
nuluted plumber of the capital of the
United States. II is unnecessary to re-
count the circumstances of this incl
dent, or to criticise the net which de-
PriVed the State of one of Its many
heroic monuments.
Now that the Institution is tobe re-
HiYed, the restoration of this statue
should BIO one Ofthe prime objects gifts
officers. We presume some measures
have already been taken to secure SO
desirable an end, but as nothing has
been mnde public in regard to It, pro-
prletY suggests pressure OF the subject
upon the attention of both the State and
the United States authorities. There
can certainly be no claim to the possess
sion of this statue as trophy of war;
IL was the embodiment in bronze of an
association dear to every American cit
lien. Where ever placed, even in the
wllds OfH barbarian country, itshOuld
have been sucred from the hostile touch
oIan American.
AT the time the statue was brought
here we took occasion to characterize
the net ofdethrOning it from its ancient
pedestal and dragging it across the
mountains as "a piece of vandalism un-
worthy our arms, and we havo never
seen reason to change our opinion. We
object however, to the Enquirer associ-
nting the statue ms the Symbol" OF the
moral and military glory" OF the Yir-
ginia Military Institute, n concern that.
was simply amere Tredegar iron works
from which so much war material in
the shape of young secession officers
were turned out every year for the re-
bellion. We do not remember ever to
have heard ola single officer or private
inthe Union army that had been eClu-
Gated at the Virginia Military Institute.
1t was n States' rights secession concern
from the start. Washington's statue
had no "moral" connection with it,
But for the deep damnation of.his TAX
