was sick Of such stuff, and would not sub.

his foolish notions.
Mr.. Sumner having opened the subject of
the pilitical condition OF the South, Ii. was
seconded by his colleague, Mr. Wilson, "nI
Mr.. leward,s Of Michigan, who drew such
fearful pictures Of The anarchy and crime
now running riot over tho South, as was
enough TO nakc the hair OF limid people
stand on end, and generate tho npprehcn-

MR. PEABODY. The Washington Repub.
Hcd" graifcs n general curiosity, which has
been excited hy Tho princoiy generosity of
Mr.. Peabody, IS follows:
"Wo learn Tint, in 1865, Mr.. Peabody
mHac will, which demonstrated that he
was then worth about fifty million pounds
sterling. We presume, from tho liberal
manner IN which he scattcrs mS- Charities,
thnt he has not grown any poorer since.
lt nc had not transacted any business since
thnt time, tho simple interest on such mn
enormous sum would have largely incrca srd
his woalth; but the fact is he has, ever since,
hceh one ct tho largest, most nctivo and
cautious bankers in the world. Hence, his
present wealth must cXcood one hundred
million Of pounds stcrling. This ism snup
little sum for rainy day"
The Rrpmdlicaa adds that Mr. Pcobody's
latc magnificent gift is understood to hnyo
